THE MERKHET
For thousands of years, humans have been using various devices to keep track of the time. The ancient Egyptians, who have always been recognised for their skill in mathematics, architecture and astronomy, are no exception. In fact, they are widely reganded as one of the fint civilisations to divide the day into equal parts, 12 hours of the day and 12 hours of the night. They accomplished this using timekeeping devices like the sandial and shadow clock. both of which relied on the Sun. and the merkhet, the oldest known astronomical tool.
The purpose of the merkhet, which has also been called a Sur clock, was to tell the time at night using the stars, the aliguments of which ancient astronomers had long, been tracking. The invention of the merkher marked a significant improvement in timekeeping because even though it was not as quick or simple to use, it overcame a major disadvantage of the sundial as a timekeeper, namely its usclessness at night.
Shaped like the letter "L." and typically carved from wood or bone, the merkhet consisted of a horizontal bar that ends with a short vertical arm pointing upwards. Attached to the end of this upright arm was a plumb line, which is a length of sting with a weight fastened to the end. The force of gravity allowed it to bing straight down, establishing a perfectly vertical line to the ground.The merkhet was used in conjunction with a sighting tool known as a bay, which was made from the central
Vocabulary
The picture shows the merkhet and t was used by ancient Egyptians to e time. Fill in: tool cheonrib of a palm leaf and had a thin V-shaped slit cut out at top. When observers looked through this narrow slit, the could precisely line up objects in the distance. To tell the time at night, two observers, a pair of merkhets and tas bays were needed. An observer held his merkhet upa ar's length and aligned it with the North Star, also called the Pole Star. To ensure perfect alignment, he looked through the slit of the bay, which was held close to the eye Another observer, facing him a short distance away, also used a bay to precisely align the plumb line of his merkhe with that of the first observer. This series of alignments established a north-south meridian, an imaginary line that identifies North and South. By noting the intervals a which certain stars crossed this meridian, observers were able to mark the passage of time, in hours.
Interestingly, the use of the merkhet was not limited to timekeeping. Other ways in which ancient Egyptians usel this tool have been proposed. For instance, experts claim that merkhets had also been used by the ancient Egyptian in construction to accurately establish straight lines and right-angles, and to carefully align temples and tombs with celestial bodies.
Archacologists have excavated and preserved a few of these devices, which date as far back as 600 BCE. Today, merkhets are on display in museums in Egyptian artefact exhibitions and are depicted in a number of ancient Egyptian works of art.

UNESCO
During World War II (1939-1945), a number of the allied governments of European countries met in London to discuss ways of improving education after the war. The idea became very popular and took on a universal aspect. Later, in November 1945, a United Nations conference was held in London to discuss the matter further and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization was created. Its mission was to help build peace, wipe out poverty and help countries to develop and communicate through education, the sciences and culture. Since then the organization has worked to improve education worldwide, believing that it is the key to social and economic development.
Today the organization has 195 member countries, with its headquarters in Paris. It strives to reduce poverty, promote peace, defend human rights and celebrate diversity among the people of the world. It focuses on improving the standard of living in Africa and on reducing inequalities between men and women all over the world, but also does a lot of other work, including wildlife conservation and protecting our cultural heritage.
So far, UNESCO has improved the lives of millions of people across the planet by providing them with education as well as promoting freedom of expression, freedom of the press and access to information. It has founded and funded many humanitarian, scientific and cultural projects. It has also helped protect a number of historic monuments and natural habitats, including the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

A WORLD WITHOUT DISEASE
If you could change something about yourself, what would it be? Maybe you'd like to grow taller. Perhaps you'd like the ability to run the fastest or learn languages more quickly. How about living longer? A lot of these characteristics come from your genes - the information in your body that has been passed on from your parents to you and some come from the environment you were brought up in. Unfortunately, we can also inherit diseases from our parents' genes, but all that might change soon thanks to the science of genetics and, more specifically, gene editing.
Your body is made up of trillions of cells. Inside each cell, you have 46 chromosomes - 23 from your mother and 23 from your father. Chromosomes are made up of DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid). A gene is a short section of DNA that determines a characteristic like how curly your hair is or the size of your ears. Genes that don't function properly can cause disease. By removing or replacing the faulty genes in an unborn child, scientists might be able to prevent a disease before it develops. This is called gene editing.
Gene editing (sometimes called genetic engineering) could mean the end to life-threatening illnesses like cancer or heart disease. It could also mean that we will be able to select characteristics for our unborn children. We already eat genetically-modified food. In the future, we may have designer babies. Parents may get to choose how strong a child will be, the colour of their hair or whether they have brown eyes or green. There is a lot of debate about the rights and wrongs of creating 'designer babies', but the benefits of gene editing are clear - a world without disease.
1. Which information is NOT correct according to the text
A) Cells have chromosomes from both parents.
B) Genetic engineering may stop heart disease.
C) Diseases cannot be passed on through genes.
D) Not all our characteristics come from our genes.
2. Genes sometimes
A) do not work correctly
B) do not bring correctly
C) do not pass correctly
D) do not inherit correctly
3. All our characteristics come from
A) our mind
B) our blood
C) our life
D) our genes
Scientists could use threatening diseases.
to stop life-
A) faulty genes
B) gene editing
C) benefits of genes
D) desinger genes
5. _____can be passed on through genes.
A) Behavior
B) Abilities
C) Skills
D) Diseases

Even the UK's postal service, Royal Mail, prints the British Science Week logo onto all of the envelopes they deliver to remind everyone about this special event.
There is a lot to see and do during British Science Week. In addition to the TV shows and museum exhibits, the British Science Association holds annual poster and photography competitions for young people so that they can get involved with their friends and families. Most primary and secondary schools also arrange a variety. of activities for their students to do in school, for example; preparing tasks for them to do in their lessons or inviting scientists to speak to them. Some schools have a Demo Day where teachers can show the students some amazing science demonstrations and other schools hold creative competitions for their students. These might include fancy dress competitions where students dress up as their favourite scientists or baking competitions that ask students to bake science-themed cakes and biscuits.
In the UK, British Science week is something that students all over the country look forward to each year. It's a great way to get young people interested in science and to recognise the amazing advances that science makes and the impact it has on us.

Multiple Intelligences theory
Who is the smartest person you know? The student who always gets top marks at school? Maybe it's the man who can fix anything, the woman who is a surgeon,
or the boy who can have an interesting conversation with anyone, about anything. 1 In fact, Dr Howard Gardner from Harvard University in the USA, has developed a theory about this - the Multiple Intelligences (MI) Theory.
According to Dr Gardner, there are eight types of intelligence.
2 Which is your strongest intelligence? You can guess, but there is no official Mi test.
3 They're combined with what you're interested in, what you enjoy and your general personality. This has caused some people to criticise Gardner's theory - they prefer a way of testing intelligence that can be easily measured, like 1Q. But humans are complicated. 4 So, of course, the ways we think and learn are complicated and different, too.
This is the reason why Gardner's theory is so important for teachers and students. 5 Some students read and learn, some watch and learn, some do and learn. There is no 'right' way or 'wrong' way - it all depends on how your brain processes information. The best thing to do is find what works for you. As the Greek philosopher Socrates said, "To know yourself is the beginning of wisdom." If you can discover which type of intelligence you have, and work with it, who knows? You could be the smartest person you know!

There are plants everywhere, inside and out. But the plants and the bottles, like everything else in the Earthships, are not only there for decoration. Every single material in an Earthship is carefully chosen. Old car tyres are used to build strong walls. The rubber protects the houses from the cold Northern winds in winter. These walls are built at the back of the house. The walls at the front of the house are built from metal cans or glass bottles. They have held together with the Earth from around them and cement is not used at all. The beautiful bottle walls are built to the South to give light during the day. The house is heated by the larger front windows. They also create the perfect temperatue for growing all kinds of fruit and vegetables, and the plants are protected against the bad weather. When you live in an Earthship, you grow your own food, get electricity from the sun and wind and you get water from the rain and snow.
Mike and the Earthship organisation use their ability and experience to help people all over the world. In 2010, they visited victims of the earthquake in Haiti. They taught them how to build safe, new homes quickly and cheaply from materials that they could find around them. Mike points out that rubbish only exists because we humans create it. That is exactly what Mike, the Garbbage warrior, wants us to see - that we have to stop waste and reuse our rubbish.

Vital learning system
Training plays a very important part in healthcare professions such as dentistry, as it provides students with a chance to develop their skills in a safe environment before treating patients.
In the past, dental students could only practise their technique on real teeth, which required lots of replacements and produced massive amounts of waste.
Now, however, thanks to amazing advances in technology, a new development promises to allow trainee dentists practical experience without the need for any physical materials at all!
Ine napieL project was developed to create a new Vital learning system that Inchides Villal really and the sensation or touch. Inis extraorainar breakthrough by King's College London lets students feel computer generated teeth with a special virtual drill, as if the tooth was actually there! With these 3D virtual teeth students keep working on the same item as much as they need to. All it takes is a click of a button and new virtual teeth instantly appear!
Inventions like hapTEL have totally revolutionised teaching, and the idea has been successful enough to attract funds from various research councils.
All of the latest studies show that students love using hapTEL and many have said that they would definitely prefer to learn with this new system over traditional methods.

Smartphones
Just how smart will they get?
The pace of technological advancement in the mobile phone industry is nothing short of astonishing. Ten years ago, mobiles were just about making calls. Today, they are cameras, video cameras, portable media players, and so much more. How else might mobile phone technology advance in the future?
High-speed Internet connections on mobiles make it possible to watch TV and also play interactive games.
The problem is the size of the picture. Who wants to watch a movie on a 5-inch screen? The solution will be built-in projectors. Televisions may soon become a thing of the past thanks to technology that will allow people to create a big-screen experience on their living room wall with their mobiles.
Another new
development is the flexible screen.
Scientists have already developed the technology that would allow mobile screens to take on various forms.
Imagine being able to roll out the screen from your phone so it is closer to the size of a laptop, then roll it back up to fit in your pocket. This kind of technology could make laptops and desktops obsolete.
Mobile phones will also replace our wallets, turning us into a cashless society. Technology will turn our phones into credit cards, IDs, keys for our cars and homes, and more. In some countries, many users already purchase products with their phones.
Smartphones will also inform us of goods and services we might like wherever we are. We will need to be comfortable with having large amounts of information about our lifestyles on our phones for this to happen.
But this is already the case for people who regularly use social networking websites.
Looking further into the future it is certain that smartphones will incorporate nanotechnology, allowing us to use our phones to scan our food for harmful toxins, for example. In short, the smartphone of the future will be the ultimate do-anything gadget. In the words of Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman and CEO, "it will be our alter ego - fundamental to everything we do".

21. At the beginning of this century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: that we are built not just of flesh blood. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal 'body clock' which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next The idea of an internal 'body clock' should not be surprising, since the lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and day cycle. The most obvious feature of this cycle is the way we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day. If the 24-hour rhythm is interrupted, most people experience unpleasant side effects. As well as the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking weal so have other rhythms which last longer that one day and which influence widely as of our lives. Most of us would agree that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Scientists have identified the following three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tired more easily. The low period puts energy into our 'batteries' for the next high perio d. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illne ss, better coordinated and more energetic. The 'critical' is the time of change over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This 'critical' time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of a physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness. Human experience is always individual and we have our own biorhythmic experiences. Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.
Which is the weakest part of a cycle?

any period of emotional conditions

-
the disorder of high and low energy periods

-
the highest period of the health

23. One day I went to the forest with my class. It was winter. It was warm in the morning. According to the forecast the cold weather wasn’t expected in few days. Suddenly it changed. Children played and we returned back late. One of the girls got frozen her fingers. Immediately entering home I tri ed to use a popular method of treating frozen fingers and toes in very cold. Even freezing weather was too slowly I rewarmed them and rubbed them with snow. I know that the best treatment, however, is not slow rewarming but rapid rewarming. Putting the frozen fingers or toes in a warm bath or using a hot water bottle is both good ways to treat them. Hot drinks to warm the body from within are also helpful. One must be careful about burning the skin, however. The temperature of any heat applied should not be greater than 43 C.
It is pointed out in the passage that ___________.
-
the use of hot water bottles to rewarm the body is not advisable.
-
one should try to rewarm frozen fingers and toes fairly rapidly.
-
one should take a bath as often as possible in winter.
-
people should be warned not to go out in freezing cold weather.
-
in rewarming the body the higher the temperature the better the result is.

25. LAST SCHOOL PARTY
It was our last year in school and most of us were planning to go to university or try to find a job. Our class decided to have a party and luckily the school let us use the school hall. We put up some colourful decorations and our parents made some food, which was all so delicious. Everybody dressed up for the occasion – it was so funny to see all my classmates in fashionable party clothes. First, we watched the video by one of our classmates, with photos of us all from previous years – my friend Chloe said it was so sad and started to cry! Then the head teacher came and made a short speech, wishing us all good luck and she told us not to be very noisy. After that, an impressive local band played some great music and we danced until 9 o’clock. It was very amazing! Some of my friends went to Sam Carter’s house after party but I was very tired, so Chloe and I walked home. It was a great night!

-
she was tired
-

29. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point. The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection'It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.
A substance similar to bone that surrounds the joint in your body, or a piece of this substance is...

30. Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behaviour for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these 'unwritten rules”: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.

Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.

22. Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was bom in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stori es for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on t he role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism' (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queensberry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his ease and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

25. One day I went to the forest with my class. It was winter. It was warm in the morning. According to the forecast the cold weather wasn’t expected in few days. Suddenly it changed. Children played and we returned back late. One of the girls got frozen her fingers. Immediately entering home I tri ed to use a popular method of treating frozen fingers and toes in very cold. Even freezing weather was too slowly I rewarmed them and rubbed them with snow. I know that the best treatment, however, is not slow rewarming but rapid rewarming. Putting the frozen fingers or toes in a warm bath or using a hot water bottle is both good ways to treat them Hot drinks to warm the body from within are also helpful. One must be careful about burning the skin, however. The temperature of any heat applied should not be greater than 43 C.

26. At the beginning of this century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: that we are built not just of flesh blood. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal 'body clock' which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next. The idea of an internal 'body clock' should not be surprising, since the lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and day cycle. The most obvious feature of this cycle is the way we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day. If the 24-hour rhythm is interrupted, most people experience unpleasant side effects. As well as the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking weal so have other rhythms which last longer that one day and which influence widely as of our lives. Most of us would agree that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Scientists have identified the following three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tired more easily. The low period puts energy into our 'batteries' for the next high period. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illness, better coordinated and more energetic. The 'critical' is the time of change over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This 'critical' time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of a physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness. Human experience is always individual and we have our own biorhythmic experiences. Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.
How long does each cycle last?

30. An American court has sent a strong warning to anyone who sends spam e- mail. Virginia judges decided that one of the world’s top e-mail spammers, Jeremy Jaynes, must stay in prison. He was originally jailed for nine years in 2004 for mass distribution of junk e-mail. He appealed against the decision and was trying to get his prison sentence overturned, saying that sending bulk e-mail was not against the law. He tried to argue in court that his rights of free speech meant he could send as many mails as he liked. The judges disagreed in a 4-3 decision against him Virginia’s state attorney Bob McDonnell said: “This is a historic victory in the fight against online crime.” He added: “Spam not only clogs e-mail inboxes and destroys productivity, it is also defrauds citizens and threatens the online revolution that is so critical to economic prosperity.”

21. There are many species of sharks found in the oceans around the world. Some of them are very big while others are quite small. Some of them are to be feared while others mind their own business and they are very calm. You may be surprised to learn some of the largest species of sharks in the ocean are the nicest ones to encounter. This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. One of the most unusual types of sharks there are known as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isn’t uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins. On the angel shark, they won’t be on the head. This type of shark isn’t a meat eater. Instead it focuses on what it can find along the bottom of the ocean. Clams and mollusks often are a big part of their overall diet.The coloring of angel sharks allow them to blend in well with the bottom of the ocean though so they often go undetected.

22. Read the text and answer the questions.
Ever fancied being on TV? The good news is that there’s probably a
show for you. You could sing and dance to get a part in a musical.
You could become an apprentice footballer at a top club, or an
apprentice business executive. If you c an cook, you might win your
own restaurant, or you could invent something amazing and get rich.
If you don’t actually know how to do anything, you could just let
viewers watch you live in a big house, and hope you are voted the
most popular resident. There are more exciting shows, though. How
about a race around the world for $1 million? In the US show‟ The
Amazing Race‟ eleven pairs of contestants race around the world and
have to complete different tasks on the way. These include the
„ordinary‟(playing volleyball, gathering sheep) , the „personal‟
(getting tattooed, shaving your head) ,the „disgusting‟ (eating two
kilos of meat, drinking blood) and the „dangerous (rolling over a
car, bungee jumping) . The pairs are allowed to decide how to get
to their destinations- by car, train, boat, plane or bus- but they
are not allowed to ask help or use mobile phones. This kind of show
is not exactly new, so what makes us keep watching? Well, what is
different about „The Amazing Race” is that the participants know
each other. They are married couples, dating couples, ex-couples,
best friends and family members. Just like in real life, people who
are close argue and get frustrated with each other when they are
stressed. This is what makes the show successful. The contestants
don’t know exactly what’s going to happen next. Some pairs really
come together in these situations, while others completely fall
apart. Which is all a little more real than most „reality‟
shows.

23. Dangerous infection Cholera is a disease spread by
dirty water, either when people drink the water, or eat food which
has been washed in the water, and not properly cooked.
Unfortunately, until the mid 19th century, people believed that the
disease travelled through the air. In the crowded cities of
19th-century Britain, cholera spread easily. Most doctors wrongly
believed that fresh air and better diet would prevent the disease.
Huge fires were usually lit in the streets to drive away the
infection, and the clothes of victims were also burned. The streets
were also cleaned thoroughly with powerful chemicals. However,
people continued to suffer dreadfully. In 1854, a doctor in London,
John Snow, definitely proved that cholera spread through infected
drinking water. He did it by carefully collecting statistics about
the infection in one part of London. He managed to prove that in an
area where deaths from cholera were highest, the water was entirely
responsible for cholera infection. Improvements made to sewers and
supplies of drinking water led to a decrease in deaths from
cholera.
True statement
-
Cholera was said to spread by air.
-
Fresh air can cure cholera.
-
Cholera is supposed no longer exists.
-
Cholera travels through air.

25. 004 The Case for the Defense It was the strangest murder trial I have ever attended. They named it the Reckham murder in the headlines, although Northwood Street, where Mrs. Parker was found murdered, was not actually in Reckham. The prisoner was a well-built man with bloodshot eyes. An ugly man, one you wouldn’t forget in a hurry - and that was an important point. The prosecution intended to call four witnesses who hadn’t forgotten him and who had seen him hurrying away from the little red house in Northwood Street. At two o’clock in the morning Mrs. Salmon, who lived at 15 Northwood Street, had been unable to sleep. She heard a door shut and so she went to the window and saw Adams (the accused) on the steps of a victim’s house. He had just come out and he was wearing gloves. Before he moved away, he had looked up – at her window. Henry MacDougall, who had been driving home late, nearly run over Adams at the corner of Northwood Street because he was walking in the middle of the road, looking dazed. And old Mr. Wheeler, who lived next door to Mrs. Parker, at number 12, and was woken up by a noise and got up and looked out of the window, just as Mrs. Salmon had done, saw Adams’s back and, as he turned, those bloodshot eyes. In Laurel Avenue he had been seen by yet another witness. (By Graham Green)

a person from Laurel Avenue

28. Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behaviour for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these 'unwritten rules”: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
“ban” means
-
to allow something by the law.
-
to interrupt somebody to do something.
-
to give someone permission to do something.
-
to take legal actions to the people who break the law.
-
to say something is illegal or not allowed.

30. Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stories for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on the role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism” (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queens berry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his case and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

'Lady Windermere's Fan'

23. 001 Unfavorable Accident People are very careless with money. One occasionally hears that pet dogs or even small children have eaten dollar bills. Goats are supposed to be particularly fond of them. Many people have lost their homes in fires which have also destroyed precious bundles of money hidden in mattresses. In this regard, banks are a great blessing because people no longer have to hide money in places where it can be easily destroyed or stolen. However, accidents still happen – as I found out to my regret recently. I gave my wife an old pair of jeans to wash and went out to work in the yard. My wife usually goes through my pockets before washing anything but for some reason she did not think of it this particular time. As I was raking leaves in the front yard, I suddenly remembered that there was a fifty dollar money order in one of the pockets of the pants I have given to her to wash. I dropped my rake and rushed into the house. But it was too late. My wife told me that my pants had been in the washing machine for ten minutes already! I stopped the machine and pulled them out as quickly as I could. I nearly tore off the pockets as I frantically searched for the money order. Finally, I managed to find the soggy bits of paper which have once been a fifty- dollar money order. To my great disappointment, I discovered that all of them were bleached pure white.
1) Where do people prefer to keep their money?
-
in the pockets
-
in banks
-
in mattresses
-

24. The friendliest country in the world A new report shows which are the friendliest countries in the world. The HSBC bank the Expat Explorer Survey to find out which countries offered the most comfortable lifestyles. Researches questioned people in one hundred different countries between May and July 2011. They asked 3.385 respondents to find out which countries they would prefer to make there second home. The questions were based on how easy it is to make friends with the local people; learning the local language, fitting in with the new culture, and integrating into the local community. The top-ranked country was New Zealand, followed by Australia, South Africa, Canada and the United States. The largest global survey allows us to capture invaluable insights into expat life and how it differs from country to country, continent to continent and from an expats‟ home country of origin. The lowest ranked country w as The United Arab Emirates, which is surprising as around 80 % of the whole population comprises of expatriates. Most of these poorly paid labourers who are unlikely to be eligible for HSBC’s survey. India finished second bottom

25. Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behaviour for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these 'unwritten rules”: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
The synonym of the word “surprised”
-
astonished
-
sustained

26. 002 Last School Party It was our last year in school and most of us were planning to go to university or to try to find a job. Our class decided to have a party and luckily the school let us use the school hall. We put up some colourful decorations and our parents made some food, which was all so delicious! Everybody dressed up for the occasion - it was so funny to see all my classmates in fashionable party clothes. First, we watched the video by one of our classmates, with photos of us all from previous years – my friend Chloe said it was so sad and started to cry! Then the head teacher came and made a short speech, wishing us all good luck and she told us not to be very noisy. After that, an impressive local band played some great music and we danced until 9 o’clock. It was very amazing! Some of my friends went to Sam Carter’s house after the party but I was very tired, so Chloe and I walked home. It was a great night!

27. There are many species of sharks found in the oceans around the world. Some of them are very big while others are quite small. Some of them are to be feared while others mind their own business and they are very calm. You may be surprised to learn some of the largest species of sharks in the ocean are the nicest ones to encounter. This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. One of the most unusual types of sharks there are known as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isn’t uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins. On the angel shark, they won’t be on the head. This type of shark isn’t a meat eater. Instead it focuses on what it can find along the bottom of the ocean. Clams and mollusks often are a big part of their overall diet.The coloring of angel sharks allow them to blend in well with the bottom of the ocean though so they often go undetected.

29. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection. It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.
What does the author intend to show in this text?
-
That it is very important for young sports players to wear good sports shoes.
-
That it is best not to play football if you are under 12 years of age.
-
That the quality of many shoes has greatly improved.
-
Footballers who have been playing for more than ten years can have bony outgrowths.
-
That young people are suffering more and more injuries due to their poor physical condition.

26. 004 The Case for the Defense It was the strangest murder trial I have ever attended. They named it the Reckham murder in the headlines, although Northwood Street, where Mrs. Parker was found murdered, was not actually in Reckham. The prisoner was a well-built man with bloodshot eyes. An ugly man, one you wouldn’t forget in a hurry - and that was an important point. The prosecution intended to call four witnesses who hadn’t forgotten him and who had seen him hurrying away from the little red house in Northwood Street. At two o’clock in the morning Mrs. Salmon, who lived at 15 Northwood Street, had been unable to sleep. She heard a door shut and so she went to the window and saw Adams (the accused) on the steps of a victim’s house. He had just come out and he was wearing gloves. Before he moved away, he had looked up – at her window. Henry MacDougall, who had been driving home late, nearly run over Adams at the corner of Northwood Street because he was walking in the middle of the road, looking dazed. And old Mr. Wheeler, who lived next door to Mrs. Parker, at number 12, and was woken up by a noise and got up and looked out of the window, just as Mrs. Salmon had done, saw Adams’s back and, as he turned, those bloodshot eyes. In Laurel Avenue he had been seen by yet another witness. (By Graham Green)

28. People have always polluted their surroundings,
But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People
lived in uncrowded rural areas and did not have pollution-causing
machines. With the development to of crowded industrial cities
which put huge amounts of pollutants into small areas, the problem
has become more important. Automobiles and other new inventions
make pollution steadily worse. Since the late 1960's people have
become alarmed with the danger of pollution. Air, water, and soil
are necessary for existence of all living things. But polluted air
can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and
other marine life. On polluted soil, food can not be grown. In
addition environmental pollution spoils the natural beauty of our
planet. Pollution is as complicated as serious problem. Automobiles
are polluting the air but they provide transportation for the
people. Factories pollute the air and the water but they provide
jobs for people and produce necessary goods. Fertilizers and
pesticides are important for growing crops but they can ruin soil.
Thus, people would have to stop using many useful things ifthey
wanted to end pollution immediately. Most people do not want that
of course. But pollution can be reduced gradually. Scientists and
engineers can find the ways to reduce pollution from automobiles
and factories. Government can pass the laws that would make
enterprises take measures for reducing of pollution. Individuals
and groups of people can work together to persuade enterprises to
stop polluting activities.

29. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point. The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it, restricts movement If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection. It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.
Osteoarthritis is...

30. Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stories for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on the role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism” (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queens berry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his case and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

23. THE
CASE FOR THE DEFENCE
It was the strongest murder trial I have ever attended. They named
it the Peckham murder in the headline, although Northwood Street,
where Mrs. Parker was found murdered, was not actually in Peckham.
The prisoner was a well-built man with bloodshot eyes. An ugly man,
one you wouldn’t forget in a hurry – and that was an important
point. The persecution intended to call four witnesses who hadn’t
forgotten him and who had seen him hurrying away from the little
red house in Northwood Street. At two o’clock in the morning Mrs.
Salmon, who lived at 15 Northwood Street, had been unable to sleep.
She heard a door shut and so she went to the window and saw Adams
(the accused) on the steps of the victim’s house. He had just come
out and he was wearing gloves. Before he moved away, he had looked
up – at her window. Henry MacDougall, who had been driving home
late, nearly ran over Adams at the corner of Northwood Street
because he was walking in the middle of the road, looking dazed.
And old Mr. Wheeler, who lived next door to Mrs. Parker, at number
12, and was woken up by a noise and got up and looked out of the
window, just as Mrs. Salmon had done, saw Adam’s back and as he
turned, those bloodshot eyes. In Laurel Avenue he had been seen by
yet another witness.

hotel but he didn't know the address. He came up to a passer -by
asked him in English: ' Could you show me the way to the Flower
Hotel? But the passer -by didn't tell anything. The Englishman
wanted to know the time. He put his hand into his pocket to take
out his watch. But there was no watch there. He ran after the
passer- by and asked him to give his watch back. The passer-by
didn't know English but he understood that the man wanted to have
his watch. He certainly gave it to him. He thought that the man was
a thief.

26. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bath in - it could be the only source of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it. Use your camera to record flora and fauna on film Don’t pick wild flowers - photograph them instead. The question of giving money is always difficult to judge. When it comes to tipping, bargaining and giving to beggars, the best advice is probably to follow local practices. In Egypt, for instance, you generally do; in parts of Mexico, you don’t.

Some of them are to be feared while others mind their own business and they are very calm. You may be surprised to learn some of the largest species of sharks in the ocean are the nicest ones to encounter. This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. One of the most unusual types of sharks there are known as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isn’t uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins. On the angel shark, they won’t be on the head. This type of shark isn’t a meat eater. Instead it focuses on what it can find along the bottom of the ocean. Clams and mollusks often are a big part of their overall diet.The coloring of angel sharks allow them to blend in well with the bottom of the ocean though so they often go undetected.

21. 'Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behavior for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behavior of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these ''unwritten rules': 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
“ban” means
-
to say something is illegal or not allowed.
-
to interrupt somebody to do something.
-
to allow something by the law.
-
to take legal actions to the people who break the law.
-
to give someone permission to do something.

22. 006 Disastrous Journey! This happened a few years ago. I live in Alicante, in Spain and my husband and I had rented a house in Galicia for the summer holiday. We were going to first drive to Tarragona, to stay for a few days with some friends, and then drive from Tarragona to Galicia. The first part of journey was fine. We were using our new satnav for the first time, and it took us right to the door of our friends’ house. Three days later, when we continued our journey we put in the name of the small town in Galicia, Nigran, which was our final destination. We started off, obediently following the instructions, but after a while we realized that instead of driving west towards Ileida, we were going north. In fact, soon we were quite near Andora. I was sure we were going to the wrong direction, but my husband wanted to do what the satnav was telling us – it was his new toy! It was only when we started seeing mountains that even he admitted this couldn’t be the right way. So we stopped, got out an old map, and then turned round! We had wasted nearly two hours going in the wrong direction. It was an awful journey because as well as getting lost, when we were nearly at our destination we had another problem. We stopped for a coffee at a little bar, but as soon as we got back into the motorway we realized that we had left our dog under the table in the café! For the second time that day we had to turn round and go back. Luckily, the dog was still there! However, although the beginning of our trip was a disaster, we had a wonderful holiday!
3) What happened to them on the way to the final destination?
-
their car had been broken
-
following the instructions they had lost their way
-
they obeyed the satnav
-
her husband was very happy with his new satnav
-
they had met their other friends

A new report shows which are the friendliest countries in the
world. The HSBC bank the Expat Explorer Survey to find out which
countries offered the most comfortable lifestyles. Researches
questioned people in one hundred different countries between May
and July 2011. They asked 3.385 respondents to find out which
countries they would prefer to make there second home. The
questions were based on how easy it is to make friends with the
local people; learning the local language, fitting in with the new
culture, and integrating into the local community. The top-ranked
country was New Zealand, followed by Australia, South Africa,
Canada and the United States. The largest global survey allows us
to capture invaluable insights into expat life and how it differs
from country to country, continent to continent and from an expats‟
home country of origin. The lowest ranked country w as The United
Arab Emirates, which is surprising as around 80 % of the whole
population comprises of expatriates. Most of these poorly paid

27. At the beginning of this century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: that we are built not just of flesh blood. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal 'body clock' which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next. The idea of an internal 'body clock' should not be surprising, since the lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and day cycle. The most obvious feature of this cycle is the way we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day. If the 24-hour rhythm is interrupted, most people experience unpleasant side effects. As well as the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking weal so have other rhythms which last longer that one day and which influence widely as of our lives. Most of us would agree that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Scientists have identified the following three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tired more easily. The low period puts energy into our 'batteries' for the next high period. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illness, better coordinated and more energetic. The 'critical' is the time of change over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This 'critical' time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of a physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness. Human experience is always individual and we have our own biorhythmic experiences. Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.
How long does each cycle last?
-
two and a half months
-
the whole life
-
nearly two months
-
only one week
-
less then one month

28. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point. The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection'It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.
Osteoarthritis is...
-
a serious medical condition that affects the parts of your body where your bones each other, making it difficult for you to mo ve.
-
someone who is trained to practice osteopathy.
-
a condition that affects the parts of your hand where your bones each other, making it difficult for you to move.

Ever fancied being on TV? The good news is that there’s probably a
show for you. You could sing and dance to get a part in a musical.
You could become an apprentice footballer at a top club, or an
apprentice business executive. If you c an cook, you might win your
own restaurant, or you could invent something amazing and get rich.
If you don’t actually know how to do anything, you could just let
viewers watch you live in a big house, and hope you are voted the
most popular resident. There are more exciting shows, though. How

„ordinary‟(playing volleyball, gathering sheep) , the „personal‟
(getting tattooed, shaving your head) ,the „disgusting‟ (eating two
kilos of meat, drinking blood) and the „dangerous (rolling over a
car, bungee jumping) . The pairs are allowed to decide how to get
to their destinations- by car, train, boat, plane or bus- but they
are not allowed to ask help or use mobile phones. This kind of show
is not exactly new, so what makes us keep watching? Well, what is
different about „The Amazing Race” is that the participants know
each other. They are married couples, dating couples, ex-couples,

don’t know exactly what’s going to happen next. Some pairs really

22. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bath in - it could be the only source of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it. Use your camera to record flora and fauna on film Don’t pick wild flowers - photograph them instead. The question of giving money is always difficult to judge. When it comes to tipping, bargaining and giving to beggars, the best advice is probably to follow local practices. In Egypt, for instance, you generally do; in parts of Mexico, you don’t.
When taking photos abroad be careful as you

may solve the problem

may be caused offence by locals

may hurt local people not knowing their rules

touch things that they don’t allowed

Ever fancied being on TV? The good news is that there’s probably a
show for you. You could sing and dance to get a part in a musical.
You could become an apprentice footballer at a top club, or an
apprentice business executive. If you c an cook, you might win your
own restaurant, or you could invent something amazing and get rich.
If you don’t actually know how to do anything, you could just let
viewers watch you live in a big house, and hope you are voted the
most popular resident. There are more exciting shows, though. How
about a race around the world for $1 million? In the US show‟ The
Amazing Race‟ eleven pairs of contestants race around the world and
have to complete different tasks on the way. These include the
„ordinary‟(playing volleyball, gathering sheep) , the „personal‟
(getting tattooed, shaving your head) ,the „disgusting‟ (eating two
kilos of meat, drinking blood) and the „dangerous (rolling over a
car, bungee jumping) . The pairs are allowed to decide how to get
to their destinations- by car, train, boat, plane or bus- but they
are not allowed to ask help or use mobile phones. This kind of show
is not exactly new, so what makes us keep watching? Well, what is
different about „The Amazing Race” is that the participants know
each other. They are married couples, dating couples, ex-couples,
best friends and family members. Just like in real life, people who
are close argue and get frustrated with each other when they are
stressed. This is what makes the show successful. The contestants
don’t know exactly what’s going to happen next. Some pairs really
come together in these situations, while others completely fall
apart. Which is all a little more real than most „reality‟
shows.

28. 006 Disastrous Journey! This happened a few years ago. I live in Alicante, in Spain and my husband and I had rented a house in Galicia for the summer holiday. We were going to first drive to Tarragona, to stay for a few days with some friends, and then drive from Tarragona to Galicia. The first part of journey was fine. We were using our new satnav for the first time, and it took us right to the door of our friends’ house. Three days later, when we continued our journey we put in the name of the small town in Galicia, Nigran, which was our final destination. We started off, obediently following the instructions, but after a while we realized that instead of driving west towards Ileida, we were going north. In fact, soon we were quite near Andora. I was sure we were going to the wrong direction, but my husband wanted to do what the satnav was telling us – it was his new toy! It was only when we started seeing mountains that even he admitted this couldn’t be the right way. So we stopped, got out an old map, and then turned round! We had wasted nearly two hours going in the wrong direction. It was an awful journey because as well as getting lost, when we were nearly at our destination we had another problem. We stopped for a coffee at a little bar, but as soon as we got back into the motorway we realized that we had left our dog under the table in the café! For the second time that day we had to turn round and go back. Luckily, the dog was still there! However, although the beginning of our trip was a disaster, we had a wonderful holiday!
2) What fact proves that the first part of the journey was fine?
-
the satnav took them to the door of their friends
-
it was a planned journey
-
they bought satnav to help them
-
they wanted to see their friends
-
they saw their friends for the first time

29. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point. The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection'It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.
Osteoarthritis is...
-
a condition that affects the parts of your hand where your bones each other, making it difficult for you to move.
-
a serious medical condition that affects the parts of your body where your bones each other, making it difficult for you to mo ve.++
-
a medical condition in which your bones become more likely to break.
-
a treatment for medical conditions such as back pain or muscle injury.
-
someone who is trained to practice osteopathy.

30. At the beginning of this century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: that we are built not just of flesh blood. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal 'body clock' which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next The idea of an internal 'body clock' should not be surprising, since the lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and day cycle. The most obvious feature of this cycle is the way we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day. If the 24-hour rhythm is interrupted, most people experience unpleasant side effects. As well as the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking weal so have other rhythms which last longer that one day and which influence widely as of our lives. Most of us would agree that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Scientists have identified the following three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tired more easily. The low period puts energy into our 'batteries' for the next high perio d. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illne ss, better coordinated and more energetic. The 'critical' is the time of change over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This 'critical' time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of a physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness. Human experience is always individual and we have our own biorhythmic experiences. Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.
What problems can people have if their 24-hour rhythm is interrupted?
-
to work during the day
-
feel emotional problems
-
because of bad mood
-
have health disorder
-
be happy and healthy

23. 002 Last School Party It was our last year in school and most of us were planning to go to university or to try to find a job. Our class decided to have a party and luckily the school let us use the school hall. We put up some colourful decorations and our parents made some food, which was all so delicious! Everybody dressed up for the occasion - it was so funny to see all my classmates in fashionable party clothes. First, we watched the video by one of our classmates, with photos of us all from previous years – my friend Chloe said it was so sad and started to cry! Then the head teacher came and made a short speech, wishing us all good luck and she told us not to be very noisy. After that, an impressive local band played some great music and we danced until 9 o’clock. It was very amazing! Some of my friends went to Sam Carter’s house after the party but I was very tired, so Chloe and I walked home. It was a great night!

24. Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stories for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on the role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism” (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queens berry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his case and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

'A Woman of No Importance'

26. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bath in - it could be the only source of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it.

28. 'Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behavior for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behavior of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these ''unwritten rules': 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
The worst mistake for a visitor is
-
smoking in public places.
-
queuing in the shops.
-
complaining loudly in the bus.
-
entering the bus without waiting your turn.
-
eating in the street at lynch time.

29. On
the day of my first piano recital, I became more and more nervous.
To help me calm down, my piano teacher told me to place several
cabbages in the room where I practiced. I was so eager to get over
my nerves that I was willing to try anything. For the next few
hours, I played to an audience of cabbages. When the time of the
recital finally arrived, I wastill terribly nervous. My hands felt
like ice. When I finally walked across the stage, I looked out into
the dark audience. I could not see anyone! All those people out
there could just as easily have been cabbages. As I sat down to
play, my hands relaxed. Before I knew it, I had played all my
pieces without a mistake. For the first time, the cabbage heads
applauded.
In the passage it is explained that
-
the room was so cold the writer's hands felt like ice
-
the writer always practiced in a room where there were cabbages
-
the writer was always nervous on the day of a concert
-
the writer played to some cabbages because there was no real audience
-
the writer finally began to relax just before he began his recital

21. An American court has sent a strong warning to anyone who sends spam e- mail. Virginia judges decided that one of the world’s top e-mail spammers, Jeremy Jaynes, must stay in prison. He was originally jailed for nine years in 2004 for mass distribution of junk e-mail. He appealed against the decision and was trying to get his prison sentence overturned, saying that sending bulk e-mail was not against the law. He tried to argue in court that his rights of free speech meant he could send as many mails as he liked. The judges disagreed in a 4-3 decision against him Virginia’s state attorney Bob McDonnell said: “This is a historic victory in the fight against online crime.” He added: “Spam not only clogs e-mail inboxes and destroys productivity, it is also defrauds citizens and threatens the online revolution that is so critical to economic prosperity.”

Some of them are to be feared while others mind their own business and they are very calm. You may be surprised to learn some of the largest species of sharks in the ocean are the nicest ones to encounter. This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. One of the most unusual types of sharks there are known as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isn’t uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins. On the angel shark, they won’t be on the head. This type of shark isn’t a meat eater. Instead it focuses on what it can find along the bottom of the ocean. Clams and mollusks often are a big part of their overall diet.The coloring of angel sharks allow them to blend in well with the bottom of the ocean though so they often go undetected.

26. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bath in - it could be the only source of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it. Use your camera to record flora and fauna on film Don’t pick wild flowers - photograph them instead. The question of giving money is always difficult to judge. When it comes to tipping, bargaining and giving to beggars, the best advice is probably to follow local practices. In Egypt, for instance, you generally do; in parts of Mexico, you don’t.

29. The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Northern Ireland and a great number of small islands. Their total area is over 314000 square km. The British Isles are separated from the European Continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. Northern Ireland occupies one third of the island of Ireland. It borders on the Irish Republic in the south. The island of Great Britain consists of three main parts: England (the southern and middle part of the island), Wales (a mountainous peninsula in the West), Scotland (the northern part of the island). There are no high mountains in Great Britain. In the north the Cheviots, England is separated from Scotland, the Pennies stretch down North England along its middle, the Cambrian Mountains occupy the greater part of Wales, And the Highlands of Scotland are the tallest of the British mountains.

.
30. 'Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behavior for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behavior of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these ''unwritten rules': 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'. It means you should ...
-
follow bad manners.
-
not control yourself in other countries.
-
follow the rules of Romans.
-
not visit Rome.
-
follow the rules of the country you visit.

In ancient times, people toes ecosed body of we on fart or 371.00 m and So borders five countries: Kazakhstan, Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran and Turkmenistan. The northern part of the lake is about 6 m deep. The souther end is more than 1,000 m, It is the world's largest lake, but it is not a freshwater lake.
So, what exactly is the Caspian Sea? The Caspian Sea is not connected with an ocean which makes it like a lake. However, it is very big and its water is salty- which makes it like a sea. 130 rivers flow into the lake.
As there are no outlets, the Caspian Sea loses water only through evaporation!
This makes its brackish water even saltier.The Caspian Sea is an amazing natural attraction with a huge variety of wildlife. It is home to the Caspian seal, the Caspian turtle and 90% of the word's sturgeons, including the beluga. This is the fish that produces caviar.

THE MERKHET
For thousands of years, humans have been using various devices to keep track of the time. The ancient Egyptians, who have always been recognised for their skill in mathematics, architecture and astronomy, are no exception. In fact, they are widely reganded as one of the fint civilisations to divide the day into equal parts, 12 hours of the day and 12 hours of the night. They accomplished this using timekeeping devices like the sandial and shadow clock. both of which relied on the Sun. and the merkhet, the oldest known astronomical tool.
The purpose of the merkhet, which has also been called a Sur clock, was to tell the time at night using the stars, the aliguments of which ancient astronomers had long, been tracking. The invention of the merkher marked a significant improvement in timekeeping because even though it was not as quick or simple to use, it overcame a major disadvantage of the sundial as a timekeeper, namely its usclessness at night.
Shaped like the letter "L." and typically carved from wood or bone, the merkhet consisted of a horizontal bar that ends with a short vertical arm pointing upwards. Attached to the end of this upright arm was a plumb line, which is a length of sting with a weight fastened to the end. The force of gravity allowed it to bing straight down, establishing a perfectly vertical line to the ground.The merkhet was used in conjunction with a sighting tool known as a bay, which was made from the central
Vocabulary
The picture shows the merkhet and t was used by ancient Egyptians to e time. Fill in: tool cheonrib of a palm leaf and had a thin V-shaped slit cut out at top. When observers looked through this narrow slit, the could precisely line up objects in the distance. To tell the time at night, two observers, a pair of merkhets and tas bays were needed. An observer held his merkhet upa ar's length and aligned it with the North Star, also called the Pole Star. To ensure perfect alignment, he looked through the slit of the bay, which was held close to the eye Another observer, facing him a short distance away, also used a bay to precisely align the plumb line of his merkhe with that of the first observer. This series of alignments established a north-south meridian, an imaginary line that identifies North and South. By noting the intervals a which certain stars crossed this meridian, observers were able to mark the passage of time, in hours.
Interestingly, the use of the merkhet was not limited to timekeeping. Other ways in which ancient Egyptians usel this tool have been proposed. For instance, experts claim that merkhets had also been used by the ancient Egyptian in construction to accurately establish straight lines and right-angles, and to carefully align temples and tombs with celestial bodies.
Archacologists have excavated and preserved a few of these devices, which date as far back as 600 BCE. Today, merkhets are on display in museums in Egyptian artefact exhibitions and are depicted in a number of ancient Egyptian works of art.

UNESCO
During World War II (1939-1945), a number of the allied governments of European countries met in London to discuss ways of improving education after the war. The idea became very popular and took on a universal aspect. Later, in November 1945, a United Nations conference was held in London to discuss the matter further and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization was created. Its mission was to help build peace, wipe out poverty and help countries to develop and communicate through education, the sciences and culture. Since then the organization has worked to improve education worldwide, believing that it is the key to social and economic development.
Today the organization has 195 member countries, with its headquarters in Paris. It strives to reduce poverty, promote peace, defend human rights and celebrate diversity among the people of the world. It focuses on improving the standard of living in Africa and on reducing inequalities between men and women all over the world, but also does a lot of other work, including wildlife conservation and protecting our cultural heritage.
So far, UNESCO has improved the lives of millions of people across the planet by providing them with education as well as promoting freedom of expression, freedom of the press and access to information. It has founded and funded many humanitarian, scientific and cultural projects. It has also helped protect a number of historic monuments and natural habitats, including the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

A WORLD WITHOUT DISEASE
If you could change something about yourself, what would it be? Maybe you'd like to grow taller. Perhaps you'd like the ability to run the fastest or learn languages more quickly. How about living longer? A lot of these characteristics come from your genes - the information in your body that has been passed on from your parents to you and some come from the environment you were brought up in. Unfortunately, we can also inherit diseases from our parents' genes, but all that might change soon thanks to the science of genetics and, more specifically, gene editing.
Your body is made up of trillions of cells. Inside each cell, you have 46 chromosomes - 23 from your mother and 23 from your father. Chromosomes are made up of DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid). A gene is a short section of DNA that determines a characteristic like how curly your hair is or the size of your ears. Genes that don't function properly can cause disease. By removing or replacing the faulty genes in an unborn child, scientists might be able to prevent a disease before it develops. This is called gene editing.
Gene editing (sometimes called genetic engineering) could mean the end to life-threatening illnesses like cancer or heart disease. It could also mean that we will be able to select characteristics for our unborn children. We already eat genetically-modified food. In the future, we may have designer babies. Parents may get to choose how strong a child will be, the colour of their hair or whether they have brown eyes or green. There is a lot of debate about the rights and wrongs of creating 'designer babies', but the benefits of gene editing are clear - a world without disease.
1. Which information is NOT correct according to the text
A) Cells have chromosomes from both parents.
B) Genetic engineering may stop heart disease.
C) Diseases cannot be passed on through genes.
D) Not all our characteristics come from our genes.
2. Genes sometimes
A) do not work correctly
B) do not bring correctly
C) do not pass correctly
D) do not inherit correctly
3. All our characteristics come from
A) our mind
B) our blood
C) our life
D) our genes
Scientists could use threatening diseases.
to stop life-
A) faulty genes
B) gene editing
C) benefits of genes
D) desinger genes
5. _____can be passed on through genes.
A) Behavior
B) Abilities
C) Skills
D) Diseases

British SCIENCE Week
Every year, people all over the UK celebrate British Science Week, The event celebrates science and its importance in our everyday lives.
It is organised by the British Science Association and is aimed at young people. British Science Week usually takes place in March and lasts for around 10 days. During this time exciting and fun science events are held around the country. There are also
fascinating science documentaries on television and lots of museums hold exciting science exhibitions.
British Science Week has a different theme each year, so that people can lear about different areas of science. For instance, in 2017 the theme was 'change and in 2018, 'exploration and discovery. Even the UK's postal service, Royal Mail, prints the British Science Week logo onto all of the envelopes they deliver to remind everyone about this special event.
There is a lot to see and do during British Science Week. In addition to the TV shows and museum exhibits, the British Science Association holds annual poster and photography competitions for young people so that they can get involved with their friends and families. Most primary and secondary schools also arrange a variety. of activities for their students to do in school, for example; preparing tasks for them to do in their lessons or inviting scientists to speak to them. Some schools have a Demo Day where teachers can show the students some amazing science demonstrations and other schools hold creative competitions for their students. These might include fancy dress competitions where students dress up as their favourite scientists or baking competitions that ask students to bake science-themed cakes and biscuits.
In the UK, British Science week is something that students all over the country look forward to each year. It's a great way to get young people interested in science and to recognise the amazing advances that science makes and the impact it has on us.

Multiple Intelligences theory
Who is the smartest person you know? The student who always gets top marks at school? Maybe it's the man who can fix anything, the woman who is a surgeon,
or the boy who can have an interesting conversation with anyone, about anything. 1 In fact, Dr Howard Gardner from Harvard University in the USA, has developed a theory about this - the Multiple Intelligences (MI) Theory.
According to Dr Gardner, there are eight types of intelligence.
2 Which is your strongest intelligence? You can guess, but there is no official Mi test.
3 They're combined with what you're interested in, what you enjoy and your general personality. This has caused some people to criticise Gardner's theory - they prefer a way of testing intelligence that can be easily measured, like 1Q. But humans are complicated. 4 So, of course, the ways we think and learn are complicated and different, too.
This is the reason why Gardner's theory is so important for teachers and students. 5 Some students read and learn, some watch and learn, some do and learn. There is no 'right' way or 'wrong' way - it all depends on how your brain processes information. The best thing to do is find what works for you. As the Greek philosopher Socrates said, "To know yourself is the beginning of wisdom." If you can discover which type of intelligence you have, and work with it, who knows? You could be the smartest person you know!
Check these words
* multiple • intelligence • theory • surgeon • according to
* logical-mathematical • spatial • bodily-kinaesthetic • linguistic
* musical • interpersonal • intrapersonal • naturalist • criticise

Gabbage warrior
Mike Reynholds builds houses from recycled materials to show us what we waste. Mike's houses are built using the things that other people throw away. His Earthships (as his houses are called) are beautiful buildings. They are shaped and coloured to match the landscape around them. He uses bottles to create beautiful walls full of light. There are plants everywhere, inside and out. But the plants and the bottles, like everything else in the Earthships, are not only there for decoration. Every single material in an Earthship is carefully chosen. Old car tyres are used to build strong walls. The rubber protects the houses from the cold Northern winds in winter. These walls are built at the back of the house. The walls at the front of the house are built from metal cans or glass bottles. They have held together with the Earth from around them and cement is not used at all. The beautiful bottle walls are built to the South to give light during the day. The house is heated by the larger front windows. They also create the perfect temperatue for growing all kinds of fruit and vegetables, and the plants are protected against the bad weather. When you live in an Earthship, you grow your own food, get electricity from the sun and wind and you get water from the rain and snow.
Mike and the Earthship organisation use their ability and experience to help people all over the world. In 2010, they visited victims of the earthquake in Haiti. They taught them how to build safe, new homes quickly and cheaply from materials that they could find around them. Mike points out that rubbish only exists because we humans create it. That is exactly what Mike, the Garbbage warrior, wants us to see - that we have to stop waste and reuse our rubbish.

Vital learning system
Training plays a very important part in healthcare professions such as dentistry, as it provides students with a chance to develop their skills in a safe environment before treating patients.
In the past, dental students could only practise their technique on real teeth, which required lots of replacements and produced massive amounts of waste.
Now, however, thanks to amazing advances in technology, a new development promises to allow trainee dentists practical experience without the need for any physical materials at all!
Ine napieL project was developed to create a new Vital learning system that Inchides Villal really and the sensation or touch. Inis extraorainar breakthrough by King's College London lets students feel computer generated teeth with a special virtual drill, as if the tooth was actually there! With these 3D virtual teeth students keep working on the same item as much as they need to. All it takes is a click of a button and new virtual teeth instantly appear!
Inventions like hapTEL have totally revolutionised teaching, and the idea has been successful enough to attract funds from various research councils.
All of the latest studies show that students love using hapTEL and many have said that they would definitely prefer to learn with this new system over traditional methods.

Smartphones
Just how smart will they get?
The pace of technological advancement in the mobile phone industry is nothing short of astonishing. Ten years ago, mobiles were just about making calls. Today, they are cameras, video cameras, portable media players, and so much more. How else might mobile phone technology advance in the future?
High-speed Internet connections on mobiles make it possible to watch TV and also play interactive games.
The problem is the size of the picture. Who wants to watch a movie on a 5-inch screen? The solution will be built-in projectors. Televisions may soon become a thing of the past thanks to technology that will allow people to create a big-screen experience on their living room wall with their mobiles.
Another new
development is the flexible screen.
Scientists have already developed the technology that would allow mobile screens to take on various forms.
Imagine being able to roll out the screen from your phone so it is closer to the size of a laptop, then roll it back up to fit in your pocket. This kind of technology could make laptops and desktops obsolete.
Mobile phones will also replace our wallets, turning us into a cashless society. Technology will turn our phones into credit cards, IDs, keys for our cars and homes, and more. In some countries, many users already purchase products with their phones.
Smartphones will also inform us of goods and services we might like wherever we are. We will need to be comfortable with having large amounts of information about our lifestyles on our phones for this to happen.
But this is already the case for people who regularly use social networking websites.
Looking further into the future it is certain that smartphones will incorporate nanotechnology, allowing us to use our phones to scan our food for harmful toxins, for example. In short, the smartphone of the future will be the ultimate do-anything gadget. In the words of Eric Schmidt, Google's chairman and CEO, "it will be our alter ego - fundamental to everything we do".

21. At the beginning of this century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: that we are built not just of flesh blood. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal 'body clock' which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next The idea of an internal 'body clock' should not be surprising, since the lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and day cycle. The most obvious feature of this cycle is the way we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day. If the 24-hour rhythm is interrupted, most people experience unpleasant side effects. As well as the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking weal so have other rhythms which last longer that one day and which influence widely as of our lives. Most of us would agree that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Scientists have identified the following three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tired more easily. The low period puts energy into our 'batteries' for the next high perio d. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illne ss, better coordinated and more energetic. The 'critical' is the time of change over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This 'critical' time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of a physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness. Human experience is always individual and we have our own biorhythmic experiences. Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.
Which is the weakest part of a cycle?
-
any period of emotional conditions
-
the beginning of the cycle
-

23. One day I went to the forest with my class. It was winter. It was warm in the morning. According to the forecast the cold weather wasn’t expected in few days. Suddenly it changed. Children played and we returned back late. One of the girls got frozen her fingers. Immediately entering home I tri ed to use a popular method of treating frozen fingers and toes in very cold. Even freezing weather was too slowly I rewarmed them and rubbed them with snow. I know that the best treatment, however, is not slow rewarming but rapid rewarming. Putting the frozen fingers or toes in a warm bath or using a hot water bottle is both good ways to treat them. Hot drinks to warm the body from within are also helpful. One must be careful about burning the skin, however. The temperature of any heat applied should not be greater than 43 C.
It is pointed out in the passage that ___________.
-
the use of hot water bottles to rewarm the body is not advisable.
-
one should try to rewarm frozen fingers and toes fairly rapidly.
-
one should take a bath as often as possible in winter.
-
people should be warned not to go out in freezing cold weather.
-
in rewarming the body the higher the temperature the better the result is.

25. LAST SCHOOL PARTY
It was our last year in school and most of us were planning to go to university or try to find a job. Our class decided to have a party and luckily the school let us use the school hall. We put up some colourful decorations and our parents made some food, which was all so delicious. Everybody dressed up for the occasion – it was so funny to see all my classmates in fashionable party clothes. First, we watched the video by one of our classmates, with photos of us all from previous years – my friend Chloe said it was so sad and started to cry! Then the head teacher came and made a short speech, wishing us all good luck and she told us not to be very noisy. After that, an impressive local band played some great music and we danced until 9 o’clock. It was very amazing! Some of my friends went to Sam Carter’s house after party but I was very tired, so Chloe and I walked home. It was a great night!

29. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point. The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection'It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.

30. Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behaviour for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these 'unwritten rules”: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.

21. At the beginning of this century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: that we are built not just of flesh blood. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal 'body clock' which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next The idea of an internal 'body clock' should not be surprising, since the lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and day cycle. The most obvious feature of this cycle is the way we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day. If the 24-hour rhythm is interrupted, most people experience unpleasant side effects. As well as the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking weal so have other rhythms which last longer that one day and which influence widely as of our lives. Most of us would agree that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Scientists have identified the following three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tired more easily. The low period puts energy into our 'batteries' for the next high perio d. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illne ss, better coordinated and more energetic. The 'critical' is the time of change over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This 'critical' time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of a physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness. Human experience is always individual and we have our own biorhythmic experiences. Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.
Which is the weakest part of a cycle?
-

-
any period of emotional conditions
-
the highest period of the health
-
the disorder of high and low energy periods
-

22. Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was bom in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stori es for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on t he role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism' (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queensberry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his ease and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

-

30. An American court has sent a strong warning to anyone who sends spam e- mail. Virginia judges decided that one of the world’s top e-mail spammers, Jeremy Jaynes, must stay in prison. He was originally jailed for nine years in 2004 for mass distribution of junk e-mail. He appealed against the decision and was trying to get his prison sentence overturned, saying that sending bulk e-mail was not against the law. He tried to argue in court that his rights of free speech meant he could send as many mails as he liked. The judges disagreed in a 4-3 decision against him Virginia’s state attorney Bob McDonnell said: “This is a historic victory in the fight against online crime.” He added: “Spam not only clogs e-mail inboxes and destroys productivity, it is also defrauds citizens and threatens the online revolution that is so critical to economic prosperity.”

21. There are many species of sharks found in the oceans around the world. Some of them are very big while others are quite small. Some of them are to be feared while others mind their own business and they are very calm. You may be surprised to learn some of the largest species of sharks in the ocean are the nicest ones to encounter. This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. One of the most unusual types of sharks there are known as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isn’t uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins. On the angel shark, they won’t be on the head. This type of shark isn’t a meat eater. Instead it focuses on what it can find along the bottom of the ocean. Clams and mollusks often are a big part of their overall diet.The coloring of angel sharks allow them to blend in well with the bottom of the ocean though so they often go undetected.

22. Read the text and answer the questions.
Ever fancied being on TV? The good news is that there’s probably a
show for you. You could sing and dance to get a part in a musical.
You could become an apprentice footballer at a top club, or an
apprentice business executive. If you c an cook, you might win your
own restaurant, or you could invent something amazing and get rich.
If you don’t actually know how to do anything, you could just let
viewers watch you live in a big house, and hope you are voted the
most popular resident. There are more exciting shows, though. How
about a race around the world for $1 million? In the US show‟ The
Amazing Race‟ eleven pairs of contestants race around the world and
have to complete different tasks on the way. These include the
„ordinary‟(playing volleyball, gathering sheep) , the „personal‟
(getting tattooed, shaving your head) ,the „disgusting‟ (eating two
kilos of meat, drinking blood) and the „dangerous (rolling over a
car, bungee jumping) . The pairs are allowed to decide how to get
to their destinations- by car, train, boat, plane or bus- but they
are not allowed to ask help or use mobile phones. This kind of show
is not exactly new, so what makes us keep watching? Well, what is
different about „The Amazing Race” is that the participants know
each other. They are married couples, dating couples, ex-couples,
best friends and family members. Just like in real life, people who
are close argue and get frustrated with each other when they are
stressed. This is what makes the show successful. The contestants
don’t know exactly what’s going to happen next. Some pairs really
come together in these situations, while others completely fall
apart. Which is all a little more real than most „reality‟
shows.
One of these words are not mentioned as prizes ...
-
a big house

a theatre role

23. Dangerous infection Cholera is a disease spread by
dirty water, either when people drink the water, or eat food which
has been washed in the water, and not properly cooked.
Unfortunately, until the mid 19th century, people believed that the
disease travelled through the air. In the crowded cities of
19th-century Britain, cholera spread easily. Most doctors wrongly
believed that fresh air and better diet would prevent the disease.
Huge fires were usually lit in the streets to drive away the
infection, and the clothes of victims were also burned. The streets
were also cleaned thoroughly with powerful chemicals. However,
people continued to suffer dreadfully. In 1854, a doctor in London,
John Snow, definitely proved that cholera spread through infected
drinking water. He did it by carefully collecting statistics about
the infection in one part of London. He managed to prove that in an
area where deaths from cholera were highest, the water was entirely
responsible for cholera infection. Improvements made to sewers and
supplies of drinking water led to a decrease in deaths from
cholera.
True statement
-
Cholera was said to spread by air.
-
Fresh air can cure cholera.
-
Cholera is supposed no longer exists.
-
Cholera travels through air.

24. One day I went to the forest with my class. It was winter. It was warm in the morning. According to the forecast the cold weather wasn’t expected in few days. Suddenly it changed. Children played and we returned back late. One of the girls got frozen her fingers. Immediately entering home I tri ed to use a popular method of treating frozen fingers and toes in very cold. Even freezing weather was too slowly I rewarmed them and rubbed them with snow. I know that the best treatment, however, is not slow rewarming but rapid rewarming. Putting the frozen fingers or toes in a warm bath or using a hot water bottle is both good ways to treat them Hot drinks to warm the body from within are also helpful. One must be careful about burning the skin, however. The temperature of any heat applied should not be greater than 43 C.
The main concern of the passage is ___________.
-
why one should have plenty of hot drinks in winter.
-
how to keep adequately warm in the winter.
-
how to treat fingers and toes that have been frozen.
-
the dangers of freezing weather for the body.
-
why frozen fingers and toes should be slowly rewarmed.

25. 004 The Case for the Defense It was the strangest murder trial I have ever attended. They named it the Reckham murder in the headlines, although Northwood Street, where Mrs. Parker was found murdered, was not actually in Reckham. The prisoner was a well-built man with bloodshot eyes. An ugly man, one you wouldn’t forget in a hurry - and that was an important point. The prosecution intended to call four witnesses who hadn’t forgotten him and who had seen him hurrying away from the little red house in Northwood Street. At two o’clock in the morning Mrs. Salmon, who lived at 15 Northwood Street, had been unable to sleep. She heard a door shut and so she went to the window and saw Adams (the accused) on the steps of a victim’s house. He had just come out and he was wearing gloves. Before he moved away, he had looked up – at her window. Henry MacDougall, who had been driving home late, nearly run over Adams at the corner of Northwood Street because he was walking in the middle of the road, looking dazed. And old Mr. Wheeler, who lived next door to Mrs. Parker, at number 12, and was woken up by a noise and got up and looked out of the window, just as Mrs. Salmon had done, saw Adams’s back and, as he turned, those bloodshot eyes. In Laurel Avenue he had been seen by yet another witness. (By Graham Green)
3) Who was the fourth witness of the murder?
-
Mr.Adams
-
a person from Laurel Avenue

28. Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behaviour for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behaviour of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these 'unwritten rules”: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
“ban” means
-
to allow something by the law.
-
to interrupt somebody to do something.
-
to give someone permission to do something.
-
to take legal actions to the people who break the law.
-
to say something is illegal or not allowed.

29. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bathe in - it could be the only sourse of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it. Use your camera to record flora and fauna on film. Don’t pick wild flowers - photograph them instead. The question of giving money is always difficult to judge. When it comes to tipping, bargaining and giving to beggars, the best advice is probably to follow' local practices. In Egypt, for instance, you generally do; in parts of Mexico, you don’t.
When you’re abroad try to stay with locals, be cause you
-
know more about their culture
-
may have bed and breakfast which is cheaper than hotels
-
help them to earn money
-
introduce with their traditions
-
increase a foreign - owned hotel income

30. Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stories for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on the role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism” (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queens berry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his case and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

-
'Lady Windermere's Fan'
-
'A Woman of No Importance'

The most important meal of the week is the Sunday dinner, which is usually eaten at 1 p.m The traditional Sunday dish used to be roast beef, but nowadays pork, chicken or lamb are more common.

23. 001 Unfavorable Accident People are very careless with money. One occasionally hears that pet dogs or even small children have eaten dollar bills. Goats are supposed to be particularly fond of them. Many people have lost their homes in fires which have also destroyed precious bundles of money hidden in mattresses. In this regard, banks are a great blessing because people no longer have to hide money in places where it can be easily destroyed or stolen. However, accidents still happen – as I found out to my regret recently. I gave my wife an old pair of jeans to wash and went out to work in the yard. My wife usually goes through my pockets before washing anything but for some reason she did not think of it this particular time. As I was raking leaves in the front yard, I suddenly remembered that there was a fifty dollar money order in one of the pockets of the pants I have given to her to wash. I dropped my rake and rushed into the house. But it was too late. My wife told me that my pants had been in the washing machine for ten minutes already! I stopped the machine and pulled them out as quickly as I could. I nearly tore off the pockets as I frantically searched for the money order. Finally, I managed to find the soggy bits of paper which have once been a fifty- dollar money order. To my great disappointment, I discovered that all of them were bleached pure white.

In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these 'unwritten rules”: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.

26. 002 Last School Party It was our last year in school and most of us were planning to go to university or to try to find a job. Our class decided to have a party and luckily the school let us use the school hall. We put up some colourful decorations and our parents made some food, which was all so delicious! Everybody dressed up for the occasion - it was so funny to see all my classmates in fashionable party clothes. First, we watched the video by one of our classmates, with photos of us all from previous years – my friend Chloe said it was so sad and started to cry! Then the head teacher came and made a short speech, wishing us all good luck and she told us not to be very noisy. After that, an impressive local band played some great music and we danced until 9 o’clock. It was very amazing! Some of my friends went to Sam Carter’s house after the party but I was very tired, so Chloe and I walked home. It was a great night!

27. There are many species of sharks found in the oceans around the world. Some of them are very big while others are quite small. Some of them are to be feared while others mind their own business and they are very calm. You may be surprised to learn some of the largest species of sharks in the ocean are the nicest ones to encounter. This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. One of the most unusual types of sharks there are known as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isn’t uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins. On the angel shark, they won’t be on the head. This type of shark isn’t a meat eater. Instead it focuses on what it can find along the bottom of the ocean. Clams and mollusks often are a big part of their overall diet.The coloring of angel sharks allow them to blend in well with the bottom of the ocean though so they often go undetected.

29. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection. It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.
What does the author intend to show in this text?
-
That it is very important for young sports players to wear good sports shoes.
-
That it is best not to play football if you are under 12 years of age.

A truly healthy person not only feels good physically but also has a realistic outlook on life and get on well with other people. Good health enables people to enjoy life and have the opportunity to achieve their goals. To achieve and maintain good health, people must have basic knowledge about the human body and how it functions. Only they can decide what will or what will not help or hurt their health. All parts of the body must work together properly to maintain physical health. A person who is in good physical condition has the strength and energy to enjoy an active life and withstand the stresses of daily life. The various practices that help maintain health include proper nutrition, exercise, rest and sleep, cleanliness and regular medical and dental care. Regular checkups by a physician and dentist play an important role in safeguarding health. Doctors recommend that people seek medical carte at the first sign of illness.

23. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bath in - it could be the only source of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it. Use your camera to record flora and fauna on film Don’t pick wild flowers - photograph them instead. The question of giving money is always difficult to judge. When it comes to tipping, bargaining and giving to beggars, the best advice is probably to follow local practices. In Egypt, for instance, you generally do; in parts of Mexico, you don’t.

26. 004 The Case for the Defense It was the strangest murder trial I have ever attended. They named it the Reckham murder in the headlines, although Northwood Street, where Mrs. Parker was found murdered, was not actually in Reckham. The prisoner was a well-built man with bloodshot eyes. An ugly man, one you wouldn’t forget in a hurry - and that was an important point. The prosecution intended to call four witnesses who hadn’t forgotten him and who had seen him hurrying away from the little red house in Northwood Street. At two o’clock in the morning Mrs. Salmon, who lived at 15 Northwood Street, had been unable to sleep. She heard a door shut and so she went to the window and saw Adams (the accused) on the steps of a victim’s house. He had just come out and he was wearing gloves. Before he moved away, he had looked up – at her window. Henry MacDougall, who had been driving home late, nearly run over Adams at the corner of Northwood Street because he was walking in the middle of the road, looking dazed. And old Mr. Wheeler, who lived next door to Mrs. Parker, at number 12, and was woken up by a noise and got up and looked out of the window, just as Mrs. Salmon had done, saw Adams’s back and, as he turned, those bloodshot eyes. In Laurel Avenue he had been seen by yet another witness. (By Graham Green)

27. Christmas is Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. For millions of Christians throughout the world it is the happiest and the busiest time of the year. No one knows the exact date of Christ's birth but most Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25. Christmas comes from Christens masse, an early English phrase that means mass of Christ. People of differe nt countries celebrate Christmas in various ways. People in the United States and Canada decorate their homes with Christmas trees. City streets are filled with colored lights; the sound of bells and Christmas carols can be heard everywhere. Children write letters to Santa Claus and tell him what presents they would like to get. Many department stores hire people to wear a Santa Claus costume and listen to children's requests. People send Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many companies give presents to their employees. A Christmas tree is one of the main symbols of Christmas. Relatives and friends may join in trimming the tree with lights, tinsel, and colorful ornaments. Presents are placed under the tree. On Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, families open t heir presents. Many children believe that Santa Claus arrives on Christmas Eve in sleigh pulled by reindeer and brings presents. Some children hang upstockings so Santa Claus can fill them with candy, fruited other small gifts. In many parts of the United States and Canada groups of people walk from house to house and sing Christian carols. Some people give singers money or small gifts or invite them for a warm drink. Many people attend church services on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. They listen or read from Bible and sing Christmas carols.

28. People have always polluted their surroundings,
But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People
lived in uncrowded rural areas and did not have pollution-causing
machines. With the development to of crowded industrial cities
which put huge amounts of pollutants into small areas, the problem
has become more important. Automobiles and other new inventions
make pollution steadily worse. Since the late 1960's people have
become alarmed with the danger of pollution. Air, water, and soil
are necessary for existence of all living things. But polluted air
can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and
other marine life. On polluted soil, food can not be grown. In
addition environmental pollution spoils the natural beauty of our
planet. Pollution is as complicated as serious problem. Automobiles
are polluting the air but they provide transportation for the
people. Factories pollute the air and the water but they provide
jobs for people and produce necessary goods. Fertilizers and
pesticides are important for growing crops but they can ruin soil.
Thus, people would have to stop using many useful things ifthey
wanted to end pollution immediately. Most people do not want that
of course. But pollution can be reduced gradually. Scientists and
engineers can find the ways to reduce pollution from automobiles
and factories. Government can pass the laws that would make
enterprises take measures for reducing of pollution. Individuals
and groups of people can work together to persuade enterprises to
stop polluting activities.

30. Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stories for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on the role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism” (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queens berry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his case and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

-

No one knows the exact date of Christ's birth but most Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25. Christmas comes from Christens masse, an early English phrase that means mass of Christ. People of different countries celebrate Christmas in various ways. People in the United States and Canada decorate their homes with Christmas trees. City streets are filled with colored lights; the sound of bells and Christmas carols can be heard everywhere. Children write letters to Santa Claus and tell him what presents they would like to get.

Many companies give presents to their employees. A Christmas tree is one of the main symbols of Christmas. Relatives and friends may join in trimming the tree with lights, tinsel, and colorful ornaments. Presents are placed under the tree. On Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, families open their presents. Many children believe that Santa Claus arrives on Christmas Eve in sleigh pulled by reindeer and brings presents. Some children hang up stockings so Santa Claus can fill them with candy, fruited other small gifts. In many parts of the United States and Canada groups of people walk from house to house and sing Christian carols. Some people give singers money or small gifts or invite them for a warm drink. Many people attend church services on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. They listen or read from Bible and sing Christmas carols. A traditional Christmas dinner consists of stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and a variety of other dishes. Some families have roasted goose instead of turkey.

22. Oscar Wilde Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was bom in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stori es for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on t he role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism' (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queensberry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his ease and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

23. THE
CASE FOR THE DEFENCE
It was the strongest murder trial I have ever attended. They named
it the Peckham murder in the headline, although Northwood Street,
where Mrs. Parker was found murdered, was not actually in Peckham.
The prisoner was a well-built man with bloodshot eyes. An ugly man,
one you wouldn’t forget in a hurry – and that was an important
point. The persecution intended to call four witnesses who hadn’t
forgotten him and who had seen him hurrying away from the little
red house in Northwood Street. At two o’clock in the morning Mrs.
Salmon, who lived at 15 Northwood Street, had been unable to sleep.
She heard a door shut and so she went to the window and saw Adams
(the accused) on the steps of the victim’s house. He had just come
out and he was wearing gloves. Before he moved away, he had looked
up – at her window. Henry MacDougall, who had been driving home
late, nearly ran over Adams at the corner of Northwood Street
because he was walking in the middle of the road, looking dazed.
And old Mr. Wheeler, who lived next door to Mrs. Parker, at number
12, and was woken up by a noise and got up and looked out of the
window, just as Mrs. Salmon had done, saw Adam’s back and as he
turned, those bloodshot eyes. In Laurel Avenue he had been seen by
yet another witness.
What was special about the
appearance of an accused?
-
he had bloodshot eyes
-
he was too ugly to forget him
-
he was an important person
-
he was good-looking
-
he was handsome

porter showed them their rooms. They liked it very much. It was a
single room, not large, but comfortable. After dinner the
Englishman decided to go sightseeing, His wife, however, couldn't
go with him and went to bed. In the evening he wanted to go to the
hotel but he didn't know the address. He came up to a passer -by
asked him in English: ' Could you show me the way to the Flower
Hotel? But the passer -by didn't tell anything. The Englishman
wanted to know the time. He put his hand into his pocket to take
out his watch. But there was no watch there. He ran after the
passer- by and asked him to give his watch back. The passer-by
didn't know English but he understood that the man wanted to have
his watch. He certainly gave it to him. He thought that the man was
a thief.

The HSBC bank the Expat Explorer Survey to find out which countries offered the most comfortable lifestyles. Researches questioned people in one hundred different countries between May and July 2011. They asked 3.385 respondents to find out which countries they would prefer to make there second home. The questions were based on how easy it is to make friends with the local people; learning the local language, fitting in with the new culture, and integrating into the local community. The top-ranked country was New Zealand, followed by Australia, South Africa, Canada and the United States. The largest global survey allows us to capture invaluable insights into expat life and how it differs from country to country, continent to continent and from an expats‟ home country of origin. The lowest ranked country w as The United Arab Emirates, which is surprising as around 80 % of the whole population comprises of expatriates. Most of these poorly paid labourers who are unlikely to be eligible for HSBC’s survey. India finished second bottom.

26. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bath in - it could be the only source of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it. Use your camera to record flora and fauna on film Don’t pick wild flowers - photograph them instead. The question of giving money is always difficult to judge. When it comes to tipping, bargaining and giving to beggars, the best advice is probably to follow local practices. In Egypt, for instance, you generally do; in parts of Mexico, you don’t.

27. There are many species of sharks found in the oceans around the world. Some of them are very big while others are quite small. Some of them are to be feared while others mind their own business and they are very calm. You may be surprised to learn some of the largest species of sharks in the ocean are the nicest ones to encounter. This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. One of the most unusual types of sharks there are known as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isn’t uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins. On the angel shark, they won’t be on the head. This type of shark isn’t a meat eater. Instead it focuses on what it can find along the bottom of the ocean. Clams and mollusks often are a big part of their overall diet.The coloring of angel sharks allow them to blend in well with the bottom of the ocean though so they often go undetected.

29. People have always polluted their surroundings,
But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People
lived in uncrowded rural areas and did not have pollution-causing
machines. With the development to of crowded industrial cities
which put huge amounts of pollutants into small areas, the problem
has become more important. Automobiles and other new inventions
make pollution steadily worse. Since the late 1960's people have
become alarmed with the danger of pollution. Air, water, and soil
are necessary for existence of all living things. But polluted air
can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and
other marine life. On polluted soil, food can not be grown. In
addition environmental pollution spoils the natural beauty of our
planet. Pollution is as complicated as serious problem. Automobiles
are polluting the air but they provide transportation for the
people. Factories pollute the air and the water but they provide
jobs for people and produce necessary goods. Fertilizers and
pesticides are important for growing crops but they can ruin soil.
Thus, people would have to stop using many useful things ifthey
wanted to end pollution immediately. Most people do not want that
of course. But pollution can be reduced gradually. Scientists and
engineers can find the ways to reduce pollution from automobiles
and factories. Government can pass the laws that would make
enterprises take measures for reducing of pollution. Individuals
and groups of people can work together to persuade enterprises to
stop polluting activities.

30. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection. It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.
Osteoarthritis is...
-
someone who is trained to practice osteopathy.

21. 'Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behavior for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behavior of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these ''unwritten rules': 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
“ban” means
-
to say something is illegal or not allowed.
-
to interrupt somebody to do something.
-
to allow something by the law.
-
to take legal actions to the people who break the law.
-
to give someone permission to do something.

22. 006 Disastrous Journey! This happened a few years ago. I live in Alicante, in Spain and my husband and I had rented a house in Galicia for the summer holiday. We were going to first drive to Tarragona, to stay for a few days with some friends, and then drive from Tarragona to Galicia. The first part of journey was fine. We were using our new satnav for the first time, and it took us right to the door of our friends’ house. Three days later, when we continued our journey we put in the name of the small town in Galicia, Nigran, which was our final destination. We started off, obediently following the instructions, but after a while we realized that instead of driving west towards Ileida, we were going north. In fact, soon we were quite near Andora. I was sure we were going to the wrong direction, but my husband wanted to do what the satnav was telling us – it was his new toy! It was only when we started seeing mountains that even he admitted this couldn’t be the right way. So we stopped, got out an old map, and then turned round! We had wasted nearly two hours going in the wrong direction. It was an awful journey because as well as getting lost, when we were nearly at our destination we had another problem. We stopped for a coffee at a little bar, but as soon as we got back into the motorway we realized that we had left our dog under the table in the café! For the second time that day we had to turn round and go back. Luckily, the dog was still there! However, although the beginning of our trip was a disaster, we had a wonderful holiday!
3) What happened to them on the way to the final destination?
-
their car had been broken
-

-
they obeyed the satnav
-
her husband was very happy with his new satnav

they had met their other friends

27. At the beginning of this century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: that we are built not just of flesh blood. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal 'body clock' which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next. The idea of an internal 'body clock' should not be surprising, since the lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and day cycle. The most obvious feature of this cycle is the way we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day. If the 24-hour rhythm is interrupted, most people experience unpleasant side effects. As well as the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking weal so have other rhythms which last longer that one day and which influence widely as of our lives. Most of us would agree that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Scientists have identified the following three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tired more easily. The low period puts energy into our 'batteries' for the next high period. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illness, better coordinated and more energetic. The 'critical' is the time of change over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This 'critical' time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of a physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness. Human experience is always individual and we have our own biorhythmic experiences. Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.
How long does each cycle last?

28. The study has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes. Knocks, falls, wear and tear... 18 % of sports players aged 8-12 already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a footballer’s ankle does not respond well to shocks, and 25% of professions have discovered for themselves that it is an especially weak point. The cartilage of the delicate knee joint can also be irreparable damaged and if care is not taken right from childhood, this can cause premature osteoarthritis. According to the study, footballers who have been playing for more than ten years have bony outgrowths either on the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as “footballer’s foot”, a deformity caused by shoes and ankle parts that are too flexible. If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria: Firstly, it must provide exterior protection'It must support the foot. It must also provide players with good stability. Finally, it must absorb shocks.

Ever fancied being on TV? The good news is that there’s probably a
show for you. You could sing and dance to get a part in a musical.
You could become an apprentice footballer at a top club, or an
apprentice business executive. If you c an cook, you might win your
own restaurant, or you could invent something amazing and get rich.
If you don’t actually know how to do anything, you could just let
viewers watch you live in a big house, and hope you are voted the
most popular resident. There are more exciting shows, though. How
about a race around the world for $1 million? In the US show‟ The
Amazing Race‟ eleven pairs of contestants race around the world and
have to complete different tasks on the way. These include the
„ordinary‟(playing volleyball, gathering sheep) , the „personal‟
(getting tattooed, shaving your head) ,the „disgusting‟ (eating two
kilos of meat, drinking blood) and the „dangerous (rolling over a
car, bungee jumping) . The pairs are allowed to decide how to get
to their destinations- by car, train, boat, plane or bus- but they
are not allowed to ask help or use mobile phones. This kind of show
is not exactly new, so what makes us keep watching? Well, what is
different about „The Amazing Race” is that the participants know
each other. They are married couples, dating couples, ex-couples,
best friends and family members. Just like in real life, people who

22. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bath in - it could be the only source of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it. Use your camera to record flora and fauna on film Don’t pick wild flowers - photograph them instead. The question of giving money is always difficult to judge. When it comes to tipping, bargaining and giving to beggars, the best advice is probably to follow local practices. In Egypt, for instance, you generally do; in parts of Mexico, you don’t.
When taking photos abroad be careful as you
-
may solve the problem
-
may be caused offence by locals
-
may hurt local people not knowing their rules

touch things that they don’t allowed

27. Traditionally English people have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is served in the morning. It used to be a large meal with cereal, eggs and bacon, sausages, tomatoes. But such a large breakfast takes a long time to prepare and is not very healthy. Nowadays, Britain's most popular breakfast consists of cereal, toast with marmalade, juice and yogurt with a cup of tea or coffee. Lunch is a light meal. Most people have no time to go back home for lunch so they eat at school, cafes, pubs or restaurants .The main meal is dinner, which is usually between 6 and 7 p.m. A typical evening meal is a meat dish with vegetables and dessert. The most important meal of the week is the Sunday dinner, which is usually eaten at 1 p.m The traditional Sunday dish used to be roast beef, but nowadays pork, chicken or lamb are more common. On Sunday evenings people have supper or tea. The famous British afternoon tea is becoming rare, except at weekends. ANSWER:B

-
because they want to save money

28. 006 Disastrous Journey! This happened a few years ago. I live in Alicante, in Spain and my husband and I had rented a house in Galicia for the summer holiday. We were going to first drive to Tarragona, to stay for a few days with some friends, and then drive from Tarragona to Galicia. The first part of journey was fine. We were using our new satnav for the first time, and it took us right to the door of our friends’ house. Three days later, when we continued our journey we put in the name of the small town in Galicia, Nigran, which was our final destination. We started off, obediently following the instructions, but after a while we realized that instead of driving west towards Ileida, we were going north. In fact, soon we were quite near Andora. I was sure we were going to the wrong direction, but my husband wanted to do what the satnav was telling us – it was his new toy! It was only when we started seeing mountains that even he admitted this couldn’t be the right way. So we stopped, got out an old map, and then turned round! We had wasted nearly two hours going in the wrong direction. It was an awful journey because as well as getting lost, when we were nearly at our destination we had another problem. We stopped for a coffee at a little bar, but as soon as we got back into the motorway we realized that we had left our dog under the table in the café! For the second time that day we had to turn round and go back. Luckily, the dog was still there! However, although the beginning of our trip was a disaster, we had a wonderful holiday!
2) What fact proves that the first part of the journey was fine?
-
the satnav took them to the door of their friends
-
it was a planned journey
-
they bought satnav to help them
-
they wanted to see their friends
-
they saw their friends for the first time

30. At the beginning of this century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: that we are built not just of flesh blood. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal 'body clock' which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next The idea of an internal 'body clock' should not be surprising, since the lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and day cycle. The most obvious feature of this cycle is the way we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day. If the 24-hour rhythm is interrupted, most people experience unpleasant side effects. As well as the daily rhythm of sleeping and waking weal so have other rhythms which last longer that one day and which influence widely as of our lives. Most of us would agree that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Scientists have identified the following three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tired more easily. The low period puts energy into our 'batteries' for the next high perio d. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illne ss, better coordinated and more energetic. The 'critical' is the time of change over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This 'critical' time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of a physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness. Human experience is always individual and we have our own biorhythmic experiences. Some people experience such enormous physical turbulence on their 'physically critical‟ days that they have to go to bed.
What problems can people have if their 24-hour rhythm is interrupted?
-
to work during the day
-
feel emotional problems
-
because of bad mood
-
have health disorder

21. One day I went to the forest with my class. It was winter. It was warm in the morning. According to the forecast the cold weather wasn’t expected in few days. Suddenly it changed. Children played and we returned back late. One of the girls got frozen her fingers. Immediately entering home I tried to use a popular method of treating frozen fingers and toes in very cold.

23. 002 Last School Party It was our last year in school and most of us were planning to go to university or to try to find a job. Our class decided to have a party and luckily the school let us use the school hall. We put up some colourful decorations and our parents made some food, which was all so delicious! Everybody dressed up for the occasion - it was so funny to see all my classmates in fashionable party clothes. First, we watched the video by one of our classmates, with photos of us all from previous years – my friend Chloe said it was so sad and started to cry! Then the head teacher came and made a short speech, wishing us all good luck and she told us not to be very noisy. After that, an impressive local band played some great music and we danced until 9 o’clock. It was very amazing! Some of my friends went to Sam Carter’s house after the party but I was very tired, so Chloe and I walked home. It was a great night!

24. Oscar Wilde is a famous English writer of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1854. His mother wrote poetry, and she taught him to love literature. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. Soon after leaving university his first volume of poetry, 'Patience' was published. Oscar Wilde married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When the boys were children Wilde wrote fairy stories for them that were later published as 'The Happy Prince and Other Tales' (1888). Wilde’s tales are very beautiful. This was followed two years later by the novel, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1890) and a book on the role of the artist, 'The Soul of Man under Socialism” (1891). However, it was a playwright that Wilde had his greatest success. Comedies such as 'Lady Windermere's Fan' (1892), 'A Woman of No Importance' (1893), 'An Ideal Husband' (1895) and 'The Importance of Being Earnest' (1895) made him one of Britain's most famous writers. By 1895 Wilde had left his wife. Wilde was publicly accused by the Marquis of Queens berry. Wilde sued for libel but he lost his case and was then himself prosecuted and imprisoned. After being released from Reading Prison in 1897 Wilde moved to France. The following year he wrote 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' a poem inspired by his prison experience. Wilde's time in prison badly damaged his health and he died in 1900. His books are read and his plays are staged in many countries and in many languages.

26. Before you are traveling to a country such as Egypt or Indonesia don’t take anything with you that is not strictly necessary. Remove the clothes from their cellophane wrappers and take all toiletries and photographic equipment out of their often - elaborate packing. Do take some small gifts from your home country, though. These will be appreciated, particularly in the developing world. Take sunscreens and shampoos made from natural substances. They don’t lie on the surface of the water and pollute marine life. If you are planning to camp in a developing country, be aware of the water you bath in - it could be the only source of drinking water for a village. When you are there stay with locals, preferably in bed and breakfast. This way you directly increase their income, not a foreign - owned hotel chain. Use public transport instead of bringing a car. Not only will you to reduce pollution; you will also meet more local people and gain a more impress ion of the place. Be sensitive about photography. Knowing when to take pictures, particularly of people, is an art. The rules differ between cultures, but if it doubts, leave it. Use your camera to record flora and fauna on film Don’t pick wild flowers - photograph them instead. The question of giving money is always difficult to judge. When it comes to tipping, bargaining and giving to beggars, the best advice is probably to follow local practices. In Egypt, for instance, you generally do; in parts of Mexico, you don’t.

27. Traditionally English people have three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is served in the morning. It used to be a large meal with cereal, eggs and bacon, sausages, tomatoes. But such a large breakfast takes a long time to prepare and is not very healthy. Nowadays, Britain's most popular breakfast consists of cereal, toast with marmalade, juice and yogurt with a cup of tea or coffee. Lunch is a light meal. Most people have no time to go back home for lunch so they eat at school, cafes, pubs or restaurants .The main meal is dinner, which is usually between 6 and 7 p.m. A typical evening meal is a meat dish with vegetables and dessert. The most important meal of the week is the Sunday dinner, which is usually eaten at 1 p.m The traditional Sunday dish used to be roast beef, but nowadays pork, chicken or lamb are more common. On Sunday evenings people have supper or tea. The famous British afternoon tea is becoming rare, except at weekends. ANSWER:B

28. 'Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behavior for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behavior of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these ''unwritten rules': 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
The worst mistake for a visitor is
-
smoking in public places.
-
queuing in the shops.
-
complaining loudly in the bus.
-
entering the bus without waiting your turn.
-
eating in the street at lynch time.

29. On
the day of my first piano recital, I became more and more nervous.
To help me calm down, my piano teacher told me to place several
cabbages in the room where I practiced. I was so eager to get over
my nerves that I was willing to try anything. For the next few
hours, I played to an audience of cabbages. When the time of the
recital finally arrived, I wastill terribly nervous. My hands felt
like ice. When I finally walked across the stage, I looked out into
the dark audience. I could not see anyone! All those people out
there could just as easily have been cabbages. As I sat down to
play, my hands relaxed. Before I knew it, I had played all my
pieces without a mistake. For the first time, the cabbage heads
applauded.
In the passage it is explained that
-
the room was so cold the writer's hands felt like ice
-
the writer always practiced in a room where there were cabbages
-
the writer was always nervous on the day of a concert
-
the writer played to some cabbages because there was no real audience

21. An American court has sent a strong warning to anyone who sends spam e- mail. Virginia judges decided that one of the world’s top e-mail spammers, Jeremy Jaynes, must stay in prison. He was originally jailed for nine years in 2004 for mass distribution of junk e-mail. He appealed against the decision and was trying to get his prison sentence overturned, saying that sending bulk e-mail was not against the law. He tried to argue in court that his rights of free speech meant he could send as many mails as he liked. The judges disagreed in a 4-3 decision against him Virginia’s state attorney Bob McDonnell said: “This is a historic victory in the fight against online crime.” He added: “Spam not only clogs e-mail inboxes and destroys productivity, it is also defrauds citizens and threatens the online revolution that is so critical to economic prosperity.”

Some of them are to be feared while others mind their own business and they are very calm. You may be surprised to learn some of the largest species of sharks in the ocean are the nicest ones to encounter. This information will help you identify some of the common species of sharks. There are 440 different species of sharks in the world today classified into eight different orders described below with some examples of known sharks species for each group. One of the most unusual types of sharks there are known as angel sharks. Many people mistake them for some other types of sea creature. It isn’t uncommon for them to be thought of as large stingrays. But the simplest way to tell them apart is by looking at the location of the fins. On the angel shark, they won’t be on the head. This type of shark isn’t a meat eater. Instead it focuses on what it can find along the bottom of the ocean. Clams and mollusks often are a big part of their overall diet.The coloring of angel sharks allow them to blend in well with the bottom of the ocean though so they often go undetected.

The island of Great Britain consists of three main parts: England (the southern and middle part of the island), Wales (a mountainous peninsula in the West), Scotland (the northern part of the island). There are no high mountains in Great Britain. In the north the Cheviots, England is separated from Scotland, the Pennies stretch down North England along its middle, the Cambrian Mountains occupy the greater part of Wales, And the Highlands of Scotland are the tallest of the British mountains. There is very little flat country except in the region known as East Anglia. Most of the rivers flow into the North Sea. The Thames is the deepest and the longest of the British rivers. Some of the British greatest ports are situated in the estuaries of the Thames, Mersey, Trent, Tyne, Clyde and Bristol Avon. Great Britain is not very rich in mineral resources, it has some deposits of coal and iron and vast deposits of oil and gas that were discovered in the North Sea.

30. 'Unwritten Rules' of Great Britain Good and bad manners make up the social rules of a country. They are not always easy to learn because they are often not written down in books. For example, British women did not go into pubs at the beginning of this century because it was not considered respectable behavior for a woman. Now both women and men drink freely in pubs and women are fully integrated into public life. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the strange behavior of the inhabitants. One of the worst mistakes is to get on a bus without waiting your turn in the queue. The other people in the queue will probably complain loudly! Queuing is a national habit and it is considered polite or good manners to wait for your turn. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street, whereas in Britain it is common to see people having a snack whilst walking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Britons may be surprised to see young children in restaurants in the evening because children are not usually taken out to restaurants late at night. In recent years smoking has received a lot of bad publicity, and fewer British people now smoke. Many companies have banned smoking from their offices and canteens. Smoking is now banned on the London Underground, in cinemas and theaters and most buses. It's becoming less and less acceptable to smoke in a public place. It is considered rude or bad manners to smoke in someone's house without permission. Social rules are an important part of our culture as they passed down through history. The British have an expression for following these ''unwritten rules': 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'. It means you should ...
-
follow bad manners.
-
not control yourself in other countries.
-
follow the rules of Romans.
-
not visit Rome.
-
follow the rules of the country you visit.
