The cave of Altamira, some 30 km from the city of Santander in Spain, is (1) ______ in history as it contains some of the most famous paintings of animals from the paleolithic era (c. 15,000 BCE). It was the first cave in (2) ______ paintings were discovered but in the north of Spain there are seventeen more caves with prehistoric art. The paintings in the Altamira cave were discovered in the 1880s but for a long time people thought they were (3) ______. It was only at the beginning of the 20th century that their authenticity was confirmed. Still, some people were not too convinced.

SAVE MONEY WITHOUT BREAKING THE LAW Fake brand-name goods have been popular for many years. Most people who buy them know that what they are buying isn't really made by the company whose name is on the label. (1) _____ Although the quality can't be guaranteed, they can, at least for a short while, pretend to themselves and their friends that they are wearing the same clothes, watches, perfume and jewellery as the celebrities they admire. Now, however, the problem is growing. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development estimates that the value of counterfeit goods crossing international borders is over $250 billion a year. (2) _____ This reduces tax revenues for national governments and makes it more difficult for them to finance schools, hospitals and other essential services. However, the problems are not only financial. The Internet has seen potentially harmful fake products being offered for sale. The most dangerous of all are fake medicines. (3) _____ Others, who would never deliberately buy any drugs not regulated by the government, are fooled by authentic-looking websites. Whatever the reason, the purchase can be deadly. Large numbers of children have been killed by fake drugs and baby products in countries such as China, Panama and Nigeria in recent years. Almost certainly individuals have suffered in the same way in many other places. It is easy to avoid fake products. (4) _____ By careful searching, you can find which of these stores is selling the products you want for the lowest prices. You can save even more money, though, by searching for cheap, but legal alternative products. A quick search shows that a Rolex Explorer II watch can cost from about $3,000 to over $5,000 depending on the model you prefer. A fake Rolex is cheaper but it may not work or it may not even arrive. However, an original Steinhart Ocean II can be yours for under £500 and it is reasonably similar to a Rolex. It doesn't have the more famous name on it and people may not be as impressed by it as by a fake Rolex. (5) _____ You will also have a receipt in case anything goes wrong. We all like a bargain and some products are extremely expensive but buying counterfeit goods is not the best way to find one. A Some people purchase cheaper options deliberately, knowing they aren't genuine but hoping they won't do any harm. B However, unlike an illegal fake, you have got an item of superb quality and you won't have broken the law by buying it. C The problem with these products is that they look so similar to the real thing that police officers and customs officials are unable to distinguish between them. D They don't mind, as long as they feel they have got a bargain. E When you include the value of products which are sold in the country they are produced in, this amount more than doubles. F If you only buy from reputable shops and their websites, you can be sure that you are buying the right product. d. e. a. f. b.
