I. Read the following text and create questions to which the underlined words are the answers:

England used to be covered with great forests. Back to the twelfth and thirteen centuries, people were
afraid to go to these forests. There were few roads and the forests were often the home of bands of robbers and
outlaws. The outlaws were people who had been accused of some crime and who had run away to escape the
law. Punishment in those days was always harsh and often unjust. Life in the forest was cold and rough, but if
you stayed hidden you were safe. If you hid away you would be declared an outlaw, someone who was living
outside the law. The outlaws were living from killing wild animals, but many of them stole from passing
travellers as well.
One of these bands of outlaws became famous not just for its cruelty. Their leader was called Robin
Hood . He and his men lived in the Sherwood Forest, in the North of England, and they were as fierce and
sometimes as cruel as any of the others.
