On Christm as m orn in g, a knock on the d oor aw akened the depressed old man. A s he
opened the door, he saw a yo u n g sold ier w ith a la rg e package in his hand. ‘ I was a frie n d
o f you r s o n ,’ he said. ‘ I was the one he was rescu in g w hen he died. M ay I com e in? I have
som eth in g to show y o u .’
The sold ier to ld the old man how his son had saved his life and how e veryo n e in the
re gim e n t lo ved and respected him .
‘ I ’ m an a r tis t,’ said the sold ier, ‘ and I w an t to g iv e you th is .’ H e handed the package
to the old man. The old man unw rapped the package and saw th at it was a p ictu re — a
p o rtra it o f his son. The old man knew enough about a rt to understand th a t the p ictu re
was not the w ork o f a genius, but it was his son ’ s face, his fea tu res, his exp ression ... The
likeness was s trik in g .
The p a in tin g o f his son soon became his m ost p rize d possession. H e valu ed it m ore
than the pieces w h ich museums around the w o rld w ou ld be proud to have.
The fo llo w in g sp rin g, the old man becam e ill and died. A s he had no re la tiv e s , all his
p ain tin gs w ere to be sold at an auction. A c c o rd in g to the w ill o f the old man, the pictures
had to be auctioned on C hristm as day, the day he had received his g rea test g if t . A r t c o l
lectors fro m around the w o rld ga th ered to buy some o f the w o r ld ’ s m ost fam ous p a in t
in gs.
The au ction began w ith a p a in tin g th a t was not on any m useum ’ s list. It was the
p a in tin g o f the m an ’ s son. Th e au ctioneer asked fo r an open in g sum. The room was s i
lent. ‘ W h o w ill start w ith $ 1 0 0 ? ’ he asked. N o one spoke. M in u tes passed. From the back
10
o f the room came, ‘ W h o cares about th a t p a in tin g? I t ’ s ju st a p ictu re o f his son. L e t ’ s

fo r g e t it and go on to the good s t u f f . ’
‘ N o , we have to sell this one f i r s t , ’ rep lied the au ctioneer. ‘ N o w , w ho w ill take the
son ?’
A f t e r a fe w m inutes a man stood up and said, ‘ I ’ m n ot an a rt collecto r, I ju st knew the
fa th e r and the son, and I ’ d lik e to have the b o y ’ s p o rtra it, i f nobody wants it. B ut I have
o n ly ten d o lla rs .’
‘ T en dollars. W i l l anyone go h ig h e r ? ’ called the au ctioneer. ‘ G o in g once, g o in g tw ice.
A n d now the au ction is o v e r .’
The room w en t qu iet. E ve ry b o d y looked at the au ction eer in d isb elief. Then som ebody
asked, ‘ W h a t do you mean i t ’ s o ver? W e d id n ’ t com e here fo r a p ictu re o f some old m an ’ s
son pain ted by an a rtis t nobody has heard o f. W h a t about all these p a in tin g s ? ’
The au ction eer rep lied , ‘ I t ’ s v e r y sim ple. A c c o rd in g to the w ill o f the fa th e r, w h o ever
takes the son ... gets it a ll.’

The Best Picture

W h en Sebastian was a boy at school, his fa v o u rite lesson was art, and he w on several
p rizes fo r it. Once he le ft school, he g o t a p osition as a clerk in a bank, but th ree tim es a
week he w en t to eve n in g classes in art, and w h en ever he had tim e at the w eekends, he
painted.
H e p ain ted in a v e r y m odern m anner — m ysteriou s objects and shapes, w om en w ith
th ree pink eyes, la rge blank areas, and so on.
A f t e r a fe w m onths he th ou gh t, ‘ Perh aps I can sell some o f m y p ictu res and get
enough m oney to a ffo r d to leave the bank and becom e a real a rtis t. Then I can tra v e l
around as much as I lik e, and go to fo r e ig n museums, and see oth er a r tis ts ’ p ain tin gs,
and study in o th er cou n tries w hen I fe e l lik e it. T h ou gh I tr y to make the best o f the job
and I d on ’ t re ga rd the w ork as d iffic u lt — at least not at present — I d on ’ t lik e life in a
bank. I o n ly en jo y p a in tin g .’
In the bank, Sebastian som etim es had to deal w ith a man w ho owned a p ictu re shop,
and a fte r he had had a fe w con versation s w ith him , Sebastian in v ite d him to his home one
e ve n in g to see some o f his w orks. ‘ Then perhaps you could te ll me w h eth er I can re a lly be
a good a rtis t and g e t some m oney fro m m y p a in tin g ,’ Sebastian said h o p efu lly.
The man said he was prepared to com e and see w h at he th o u gh t o f S eb astian ’ s w ork ,
so he a rriv e d one e ve n in g at Sebastian ’ s home. Sebastian took the man to his studio and
started to show him some o f his p ictu res, w ith some p ride and hope.
The man looked at them one a fte r the o th er w h ile Sebastian w atched his fa ce, but to
Sebastian ’ s d isappointm ent the man did not say a n yth in g, and his exp ression did not
change at any o f them eith er.
Then, when he had fin ish ed , he looked around, and his glance fe ll on som eth in g else.
A happy look came o v e r his face fo r the fir s t tim e, and he said, ‘ N o w I lik e th is one v e r y
much! I t ’ s so fu ll o f deep fe e lin g ! I ’ m sure I could sell th is one fo r yo u !’
‘ T h a t,’ said Sebastian, ‘ is the place w h ere I clean the p ain t o f f m y bru sh es.’
Sebastian earned his liv in g s ellin g his pictures.

B. A l l these social changes h a ven ’ t changed the B ritish attitu d e tow ards sex. A lo t o f
B riton s s till fin d it d iffic u lt to discuss sex. The U K has the h igh est p ro p o rtion o f teenage
pregnancies in W e s te rn Europe. Each yea r 90,000 g irls g e t pregn an t. 2,200 o f these are
under 14 and 77,000 are under 16 years old. The B ritis h fig u r e fo r this yo u n ger grou p is
10 tim es h igh er than in Japan and ten tim es h igh er than in Sweden and the N eth erlan d s,
w h ere a ttitu d es to sex are m ore open.
C. Th e d ram atic situ a tion w ith teenage pregnan cies in the U K is due f ir s t ly to the
lack o f sex education, secondly, to the lack o f gen eral education and th ird ly to the lack o f
necessary fa m ily support. I t ’ s w e ll known th a t m ost teenage m others come fro m p oo rly
educated and d ep rived fa m ilies.
D. B ein g a teenage m other is not easy. Some pregnant teenage g irls decide to have an
abortion. H ow ever, some decide to go all the way. Q uite o ften , keepin g the baby means n ev
er con tinu in g education and endin g up unem ployed and liv in g on ben efits fro m the state.
E. I t ’ s clear th at b etter and m ore open sex education can help p reven t teenage p re g
nancies. C on tracep tive advice and services can also have a p o s itiv e in flu en ce on teen a g

The Mystery o f A g a th a Christie

In D ecem ber 1926, an in cid en t happened w h ich could be a d e te c tiv e s to ry in its e lf.
A t the h eig h t o f h er success w ith h er f ir s t n ovel, she suddenly disappeared fo r ten days.
A t th a t tim e she was distressed because her husband was h a v in g an a f f a ir w ith an oth er
w om an and w an ted a d ivo rce. She was sleepin g badly, she cou ldn ’ t w r ite and she was ea t
in g v e r y little .
On F rid a y 3rd D ecem ber, A g a th a to ld her secretary C h arlotte th at she w anted a day
alone. W h en C h arlotte retu rn ed in the even in g, she fou n d th at the ga rage doors w ere open

A W o n d e rfu l Discovery
Sarah had a son o f ten, called Jack. H e did not lik e stu d yin g, but lo ved w a tch in g T V .

A t fir s t Sarah allow ed Jack to w atch T V in stead o f d o in g his h om ew ork fir s t , but she

The resu lt was the same — bad w o rk , fo r w h ich he usually g o t low m arks the n ex t day

The Horse
S cien tists b elie ve th a t the horse f ir s t appeared in N o rth A m eric a . B ut it was n ot the

But these sm all creatu res k ep t ch a n gin g and g ro w in g and about a m illio n years ago, po

M an established a relation sh ip w ith the horse about 50,000 years ago. A t f ir s t people
hunted horses, w h ich w asn ’ t v e r y easy, then th ey learned to herd these anim als, and kept
them m a in ly fo r m eat, p ossibly also fo r m ilk , but it is lik e ly th at the horses w ere also

could be in w ar. Oxen and donkeys, alth ou gh much calm er than horses, could not come
even close to the horse on the ancient b a ttle fie ld .
G ra d u ally horses becam e associated w ith p ow er and w ealth . O xen and donkeys w ere

I saw m y fir s t tig e r in a n ation al park in In dia. It was a m ale and he was d rin k in g at
a w aterh ole. H e raised his head s lo w ly and stared at us fo r a fu ll m inute. Then he tu rn ed
his back on us and disappeared qu ick ly in to the ju n gle.
T w e n ty years ago, the tig e r was in trou ble. In In d ia its numbers w ere around 1,800.
Then the In d ian go vern m en t launched P ro je c t T ig e r , w h ich set up n ation al parks all o v e r
the cou n try. P oach ers s till hunt the tig e r ille g a lly , but at least it is no lo n ger in dan ger
o f extin ction .
In A fr ic a , the m ost im p o rta n t species in dan ger is the elephant, the w o r ld ’ s la rgest
liv in g land m am m al. In 1979, th ere w ere 1.3 m illio n elephants th ere. Ten years later,
numbers w ere dow n to fe w e r than 600,000 and s till fa llin g . C on servation ists w arned
th a t the species could be e x tin c t b y the end o f the cen tu ry.
But s lo w ly the situ a tio n changed. In J u ly 1989, K e n y a ’ s P res id en t M o i p u b licly burnt
his c o u n try ’ s stock o f iv o r y , and tow ards the end o f 1989 the w o rld agreed to ban the iv o
ry trade com p letely. Since then, the demand fo r iv o r y has fa lle n sharply, and elephant
numbers in cou n tries such as K e n y a and T an za n ia are in crea sin g ra p id ly.
On the o th e r side o f the w o rld , the g re y w hales o f C a lifo rn ia n ea rly disappeared in the
last cen tu ry. F o rtu n a tely, the US M arin e M am m als P ro te c tio n A c t o f 1972 saved them .
T h a t same year, M ex ic o created the w o r ld ’ s f ir s t w hale san ctuary on the w est coast o f the
Baja. The g r e y w hales recovered qu ick ly. T od a y th ere are perhaps 20,000 and these ge n

The Painter
On 25 O ctober 1881, a litt le b oy was born in M alaga, Spain. It was a d iffic u lt b irth
and to help him breathe, c ig a r smoke was blow n in to his nose! B ut despite b ein g the
you n gest e v e r sm oker, th is baby g re w up to be one o f the 2 0 th c en tu ry ’ s gre a tes t p a in t
ers — P ab lo Picasso.
Picasso showed his tr u ly excep tion a l ta len t fro m a v e r y yo u n g age. H is f ir s t w ord was
lapis (Spanish fo r p en cil) and he learned to d raw b efo re he could talk. H e was the o n ly son
in the fa m ily and v e r y go o d -lo o k in g, so he was th o ro u g h ly spoilt. H e hated school and o f
ten refu sed to go unless his d o tin g parents allow ed him to take one o f his fa th e r ’ s pet p i
geons w ith him!
A p a r t fro m pigeons, his g re a t lo ve was a rt, and w hen in 1891 his fa th e r, w ho was an
am ateur a rtis t, g o t a job as a d ra w in g teach er at a college, P ab lo w en t w ith him to the
college. H e o fte n w atched his fa th e r p ain t and som etim es was allow ed to help. One
eve n in g his fa th e r was p a in tin g a p ictu re o f th e ir p igeon s w hen he had to leave the room .
H e retu rn ed to fin d th at P ablo had com pleted the p ictu re, and it was so a m a zin gly beau
t ifu l and life lik e th a t he g a ve his son his own p a lette and brushes and n ever painted
again. P ab lo was ju st 13.
F ro m then onw ards th ere was no sto p p in g him . M an y people rea lized th a t he was a g e
nius but he d isappointed those w ho w an ted him to becom e a tra d itio n a l p ain ter. H e was
alw ays b rea k in g the rules o f a rtis tic tra d itio n and shocked the public w ith his strange
and p o w e rfu l p ictu res. H e is probably best known fo r his ‘ C u b ist’ pictu res, w h ich used
o n ly sim ple g eo m etric shapes. H is p ain tin gs o f people w ere o fte n made up o f tria n g le s
and squares w ith th e ir fea tu res in the w ro n g place. H is w o rk changed our ideas about
art, and to m illion s o f people m odern a rt means the w ork o f Picasso. Guernica, w h ich he
p ain ted in 1937, records the bom bin g o f th at litt le Basque tow n d u rin g the Spanish C iv il
W a r, and is un d isp u ted ly one o f the m asterpieces o f m odern p ain tin g.
Picasso created o ve r 6,000 p ain tin gs, d raw in gs and sculptures. T od a y a ‘ P ica sso ’
costs several m illio n pounds. Once, w hen the French M in is te r o f C u lture was v is it in g P i
casso, the a rtis t a ccid en tally sp ilt some p ain t on the M in is te r ’ s trou sers. Picasso ap olo
g iz e d and w an ted to pay fo r them to be cleaned, but the M in is te r said, ‘ N on ! Please, M on
sieu r Picasso, ju st sign m y trou sers!’
Picasso died o f h eart fa ilu r e d u rin g an attack o f in flu en za in 1973.

A u d r e y ’ s gre a tes t lo ve was music. She w an ted to be a dancer, and she studied dan cin g
since she was fiv e . In 1948, A u d r e y and h er m oth er m oved to London. A u d r e y w en t to a
b allet school. She w ork ed hard at her dan cin g. She had no tim e fo r b o y frien d s. B u t one
day the b allet school teach er told her, ‘ I ’ m sorry, but y o u ’ ll n ever be a fam ous dancer.
Y o u ’ re too t a ll. ’
A u d r e y was sad, but then som eth in g happened. She was g iv e n a sm all p a rt in a b ig
London m usical. She qu ick ly fou n d jobs in oth er m usicals. E ve ry b o d y lik ed th is th in g ir l
w ith a p re tty face and w id e sm ile.
W h en A u d r e y was tw en ty, she had sm all parts in several m ovies and d u rin g the f ilm

The same yea r a H o lly w o o d m o vie produ cer o ffe r e d h er the p art o f a princess in a b ig

Since 1970 A u d r e y liv e d a q u iet life in her house in S w itze rla n d ra isin g her tw o sons.
She o n ly made tw o or th ree m ore m ovies, and th ey w ere not v e r y good. She made them

W h en she becam e old er, she w anted to do som eth in g m ore im p o rta n t w ith h er life .

C h arles D ickens
Charles D ickens can be considered to be the fir s t c ele b rity au th or in the w o rld . H e had
becom e popular by the age o f 25 and he was trea ted ju st lik e rock stars and m o vie stars
are trea ted tod ay. E ve ryw h e re he w en t, th ere w ere crow ds o f people ch eerin g him ,
shakin g his hand, and asking fo r his au tograph . H is fan s in the US even cut bits o f fu r
fro m his coat fo r sou ven irs. H e was so fam ous th at when he died at the age o f 58 he was
b u ried at W e s tm in s te r A b b ey.
A g re a t n o ve list, short s to ry w r ite r , jo u rn a list, he was also an e d ito r — and a fa th e r
o f 1 0 children!
D icken s’ s life was much lik e th at o f his m any characters, a rags-to-rich es story.
B orn in P o rtsm o u th on the 7th o f Febru ary, 1812, he was the second o f e ig h t
ch ildren . W h en he was 10 years old his fa m ily m oved to London. But th ere w ere serious
m oney problem s and his fa th e r w en t to prison fo r debt. H is fa m ily la te r jo in ed him . It
was com mon in those days fo r the fa m ily o f a d eb tor to liv e w ith him in prison.
Charles was taken out o f school and sent to w o rk in a b lack in g fa c to ry w h ere he put
labels on b ottles o f shoe polish. H e w ork ed lo n g hours fo r v e r y litt le m oney and liv e d
aw ay fro m his fa m ily , alone in London. Charles n ever fo r g o t this. E ven as a fam ous and
successful adult, he carried a deep m em ory o f the g r ie f, h u m ilia tio n and hopelessness he
had fe lt.
L a ter, he w en t to school again, and le ft it at 15 to becom e a re p o rter. H is genius fo r
d escrib in g com ical characters and his an ger about social in ju stice w ere soon noticed. In
1836, he began Th e P ic k w ick Papers. Th e book was so popu lar th a t b y the age o f 25
Charles was the m ost popular n o ve list in both B rita in and A m erica .
Charles D icken s’ n ovels w ere fu n n y and e x c itin g , but th ey had a v e r y serious
message. H e described the hard life o f p oor people and attacked in ju stice, h yp ocrisy and
oth er social ills o f V ic to ria n E ngland. H e o fte n w ro te about real people and real events.
H is stories w ere so p o w erfu l th at P a rlia m en t som etim es passed law s to change th in gs fo r

the b ette r. F o r exam ple, a fte r p u b lish in g N ic h o la s N ickleby, some o f the cruel b oa rd in g
schools in E nglan d w ere closed down.
Lon don was D icken s’ muse. T h rou gh o u t his life , he both lo ved and hated the c ity .
W h e n he was a boy, it fille d him w ith h o rro r and w on der. A s a man, he re g u la rly w alked
ten to tw e n ty m iles across th e c ity , w o rk in g out his plots. The c ity alw ays in sp ired him ,
and w hen he was aw ay fro m it he o fte n fou n d it d iffic u lt to w ork . H e called it his ‘ m agic
la n tern ’ , and it n ever fa ile d to spark his im a gin atio n .
D ickens is read and rem em bered to d ay fo r the unique characters he created. O liv e r
T w is t, D a vid C o p p erfield , U ria h H eep, E ben ezer S crooge, and m any, m any m ore liv e in
ou r m em ories as real people. W h en D ickens created his characters, he o fte n ran to the
m irro r and acted out th e ir m ovem en ts and fa c ia l expressions. P ro b a b ly th a t’ s w h y th ey
are so m em orable.
One his m ost fam ous characters is S crooge fro m A C hristm a s C arol. T od ay, this name
is p art o f the E n glish lan gu age: we o fte n call a mean person a ‘ scro o ge ’ .
D ickens is as popular to d ay as he was d u rin g his life tim e . T o m ark his b irth d a y, th ere
are celebration s all o v e r the E nglish -speak in g w o rld — p erform an ces, exh ib itio n s,

Sharks are p robably the m ost fea red o f all sea anim als. T h ere are m ore than 360 kinds
o f sharks in the w aters o f the w o rld . But, scien tists say, o n ly some species are dangerous
to man.
T h e y liv e in oceans th ro u gh ou t the w o rld but are usually fou n d in w arm w aters.
Sharks are rem arkably successful anim als. The fir s t sharks liv e d on our p lan et m ore
than 420 m illio n years ago! T h ey are fa s t and stron g. T h e y have v e r y fe w parasites and
are h ard ly e v e r ill. T h e y have alm ost no enem ies except oth er sharks.
Some people th in k th at all sharks are b ig. B ut some kinds o f sharks are no b ig g e r than
yo u r hand. Th e sm allest shark is about 16 cen tim eters lo n g and w eigh s about 28 gram s.
The b ig g e s t shark — and the la rges t o f all fis h — is the w hale shark. It m ay g ro w up
to 12 m etres lo n g and m ay w e igh o v e r 14 tons, o v e r tw ice as much as an a vera ge A fr ic a n
elephant! The w hale shark has th ree thousand teeth but it w ill n ever b ite you. It is qu ite
harm less. It eats o n ly tin y shrim p and fish .
D iffe r e n t sharks h ave d iffe r e n t habits. Some kinds liv e in the depths o f the ocean and
are v e r y seldom seen. Others are fou n d near the su rface. A fe w species en ter riv e rs and
lakes. S cien tists b elie ve th at one species, the Ganges R iv e r shark o f In d ia and P ak istan ,
liv es on ly in rivers.
Some sharks are loners, oth ers lik e to ga th er to g e th e r. B lue sharks are called the
w o lves o f the sea because th ey stay to g e th e r in packs.
Blue sharks o ften swim a fte r a ship fo r days. A lon g tim e ago sailors th ou ght this
m eant that someone was g o in g to die. T od ay we know th at sharks fo llo w ships because o f
the noise th ey make. W h en the garbage is th row n in to the w a ter the sharks stop and eat it.
M ost fis h la y eggs. B ut m ost sharks do not. T h e ir babies are born a liv e and com p letely
d eveloped. T h ey do not need p aren tal care. A baby shark is called a pup. The pup o f the
g re a t w h ite shark is alm ost the size o f a man. A s soon as th ey are born the pups go th e ir
ow n w ay. It is n ’ t safe to stay near a h u n gry m other.

A sh a rk ’ s brain is sm all but its teeth are b ig. It has m any row s o f teeth. W h e n a tooth
breaks o f f a new to o th m oves up to take its place. In some species new teeth replace the
row s o f o ld er ones as o fte n as once a week!
W h a t do sharks eat w ith all these teeth ? Fish and m ore fish , oth er sharks, seals,
tu rtles, crabs. A lm o s t a n yth in g th a t swim s in the sea.
S om etim es sharks eat th in gs th at are not foo d . N o one knows w h y. A l l these th in gs
have been fou n d in side b ig sharks: a w a llet, a drum , a b ottle o f w in e, a chest o f jew els
and a su it o f arm our!
Do sharks eat people? Y es, th e y do. I f a person is near a shark, the shark m ay attack.
B ut it doesn’ t happen v e r y o fte n . F ew er than 100 shark attacks a yea r are reported
th rou gh ou t the w orld .
The m ost dangerous shark in the sea is the g re a t w h ite shark. It is so nam ed a fte r its
w h ite b elly. The g re a t w h ite shark m ay be m ore than 6 m etres. It can sink a boat, it can
b ite a man in tw o, it can even sw allow a man w h ole. I t circles its p rey, ap p earin g fro m

H o w e ve r, specialists say, m ore people die fro m bee stin gs than fro m shark bites!
Sharks do not go h u n tin g fo r people. B ut people do go h u n tin g fo r sharks. A n d then
th ey have to be c a refu l. A shark m ay look dead. Then all o f a sudden it can ‘ wake u p ’ —
and attack!

N o stra d a m u s the P ro p h e t
W a s a man liv in g in the 16th cen tu ry able to p red ict the French R e v o lu tio n , W o r ld
W a r T w o and th at M an w ou ld w a lk on the m oon? The answer is ‘yes’ i f we ask the fans o f
N ostradam us, a g re a t French a s tro lo ge r and astron om er, w ho used both a s tro lo g y and
astron om y to p red ict the fu tu re.
N o stra d a m u s’ real name was M ich el de N ostradam e. H e was born on the 14th o f
D ecem ber, 1503, in a sm all tow n in southern France. A s a child he was v e r y good at
m athem atics and as tro lo gy . A t the age o f 15, he becam e a u n iv e rs ity student, but the
U n iv e r s ity was soon closed because o f an outbreak o f the plague. N ostradam us tra v e lle d
across the cou n try and helped v ic tim s o f the plague u sin g his ow n m ethods. It is said th at
he in ven ted a ‘ rose p ill’ th at could p ro te ct people again st the plagu e. Sadly, his fir s t w ife
and tw o sm all ch ild ren la te r died o f the plague.
N ostradam us continu ed to learn and practise m edicine, but he also g o t in terested in
a s tro lo gy . Soon legends began to g ro w about his stran ge a b ility to p red ict the fu tu re.
One s to ry said th at when N ostradam us was in Ita ly , he m et a m onk. H e im m e d ia te ly w en t
down on his knees and called the m onk ‘ Y o u r H o lin ess’ . A b o u t 45 years la te r the monk
becam e Pope.
N ostradam us realised th at he had an unusual g i f t and started w r itin g dow n his
p red iction s in the fo rm o f fo u r-lin e poems. H e q u ick ly became fam ous, and even Queen
C ath erine de M ed ici o f France w an ted to m eet him . N ostradam u s p red icted the death o f
her husband, K in g H e n ry II, and in 1559 his p red ictio n came true!
It is said th at N ostradam u s even p red icted his ow n death! W h en his assistant w ished
him g o o d n ig h t on the 1st o f J u ly 1, 1566, N ostradam us said: ‘ Y o u w o n ’ t fin d me a liv e at
su n rise’ . H e was fou n d dead on the 2nd o f July.
A ll in all, Nostradam us w rote o ver 900 predictions about the fu tu re o f the w orld. T h ey
w ere published in tw o books called The Centuries, which w ere published in 1555 and 1558.
N ostradam u s’ s fou r-lin e poems predicted events fro m the mid-1500s u n til the end o f
the w orld . People have studied and in terp reted his predictions since the sixteen th century!
The problem w ith these p red iction s is th a t th ey are v e r y vagu e and can mean m any
th in gs. N ostradam us made his poems d iffic u lt to understand b y using w ords fro m L atin ,
French, G reek and Ita lia n . T h e y have anagram s and rid dles and are not placed in
ch ron ological ord er. T h is was because he d id n ’ t w an t the Church to accuse him o f b ein g
a m agician or a h eretic.
B ut ju st how did N ostradam us p red ict the fu tu re ? H e w ork ed w ith an cien t books, he
studied the stars u sin g his kn ow led ge o f as tro lo gy . H e also used an an cien t m ethod o f
p re d ic tin g the fu tu re — he looked in to a b ow l o f w a te r u n til he had an in sp ira tio n or saw
an im age.
P eop le who b elie ve him say th a t he p red icted the G reat F ire o f London o f 1666, the
rise o f both N apoleon and H itle r , the assassination o f A m eric a n P res id en t John F.
K en n ed y and even the te rro ris t attacks o f the 11th o f Septem ber, 2001.
M an y o f his p red iction s seem true. B ut some o f the even ts n ever happened. Sceptics

P ro fessio n a ls train p articip an ts and help them fin d w ork in the music business or oth er

These p rogram m es and oth ers o ff e r encouragem en t to m any d isadvan taged you n g

O f course all these p rogram m es need fu n d in g, and this is ach ieved in m any ways.
P eo p le w ho w an t to help can e ith e r make donations on the In te rn e t u sin g th e ir cred it

The exa ct fig u r e is im possible to te ll, but it is around 400 m illio n people. G eograp h ica lly,
E n glish is the m ost w idespread lan gu age on earth , and it is second o n ly to Chinese in the
num ber o f people w ho speak it. It is spoken in the B ritish Isles, the U S A , A u s tra lia , N ew

B. In S h akespeare’ s tim e o n ly a fe w m illio n people spoke E n glish . A l l o f them liv e d in

o v e r the w orld . F o r exam ple, f iv e hundred years ago people d id n ’ t speak E n glish in
N o rth A m eric a : the A m eric a n Indians had th e ir ow n lan gu ages. So did the Eskim os in
Canada, the ab origin es in A u s tra lia , and the M aoris in N e w Zealand. Th e E n glish a rrived
and set up th e ir colon ies... T od ay, E n glish is represen ted in e v e ry con tin en t and in the
th ree m ain oceans — the A tla n tic , the In d ian and the P a c ific .
C. E n glish is m ix in g w ith and m a rry in g o th e r lan gu ages around the w o rld . It is
probably the gre a tes t b orro w er. W o rd s n ew ly created or in fash ion in one lan gu age are

D. A cen tu ry ago, some lin gu ists predicted th at one day England, A m erica , A u s tra lia
and Canada w ould be speaking d iffe r e n t languages. But w ith the a rriv a l o f records,
cinema, radio, and television , the tw o brands o f E nglish have begun to draw back to geth er
again. B riton s and A m erican s probably speak m ore alike today than th ey did 50 or 60 years
ago. (In the 1930s and 1940s, fo r exam ple, A m erican film s w ere dubbed in England. I t ’ s no
lon ger the practice to d a y.) Canadian E nglish, A u stralia n English, South A fr ic a n English,

A C olourful W o r ld
M ost o f us have a fa v o u rite colou r, but all colours a ffe c t our moods and em otions.
Some o f them in sp ire passion and e n ergy , w h ile oth ers re la x us.
Y e llo w can be a ch eerfu l, sunny colou r th at m o tiva tes you. Some people, h ow ever,

yo u r kitch en or bedroom s ye llo w . A su rvey showed th a t husbands and w iv e s tend to fig h t
m ore in y e llo w kitchens. E ven babies c ry m ore in a y e llo w room .
G reen and blue, on the o th er hand, are supposed to be the colours o f balance and
harm ony. T h ey actu ally help lo w er b lood pressure and h eart rate and m ay have a h ea lin g
e ffe c t on the body. C oncert halls and th eatres have a ‘ green ro o m ’ w h ere n ervous
p erfo rm e rs re la x b efo re g o in g on stage.
V e r y b rig h t colou rs, such as ye llo w , red and oran ge are used both to w arn and to
attra ct. B irds, rep tiles, fis h and insects use b rillia n t com binations o f colours to a ttra ct
mates. B u tte rflie s are an e xcellen t exam ple. B ird s have the best v is io n in the natural
w o rld and, th e re fo re , also com e in b ea u tifu l colours and patterns.
Some pred ators use b rig h t colours to a ttra ct th e ir p rey. Take fo r instance the spin y
spider o f A u s tra lia . W h en a research er dyed the y e llo w back o f a spiny spid er black, he
n oticed th a t it cau ght less p rey than w ith its n atural colour.
Some anim als also use b rig h t colours to w arn p oten tia l p redators th a t th ey are nasty
and poisonous. O thers ju st im ita te the w a rn in g pattern s o f dangerous anim als to fo o l
p red ators and p ro te ct them selves.
A r o u n d th e w o rld , colo u rs are associated w ith d iff e r e n t id eas, em o tio n s and

e ve n ts . Som e c o lo u r associatio n s are s im ila r across c u ltu re s, e s p e c ia lly w h en it com e;
to safety. Th e m ost com m on colours fo r w a rn in g signs are red, ye llo w , black and w hite.
I t was decided in the U S A in 1935 th at all stop signs, w hich w ere ye llo w , should be red to
m atch the red t r a f fic lig h ts . T od ay, stop signs around the w o rld are red.
H o w e ve r, th ere d on ’ t seem to be m any s im ila ritie s besides th at. In South A fr ic a , fo r
exam ple, red is the colou r o f m ou rn in g, w hereas the Chinese b elie ve th at red b rin gs good
luck. B rides w ear red on th e ir w ed d in g day, and babies are g iv e n the names at a red-egg
cerem ony.
W h ite is a u n iversa l sym bol o f peace and innocence, but w h ile in W e s te rn cou ntries it
sym bolises b irth , in China and Japan it means death.
W e s te rn brides c a rry som eth in g blue on th e ir w e d d in g day, since blue stands fo r love.
On the o th er hand, blue is associated w ith sadness or heartbreak, as in ‘ fe e lin g b lu e’ . But
when asked fo r th e ir fa v o u rite colou r, one out o f tw o people say i t ’ s blue.
Colours can in flu en ce people in a d iffe r e n t way.

Terrible Twisters
Tornadoes, also know n as tw isters, are the m ost v io le n t storm s on our planet.
Tornadoes fo r m when a w arm w in d m eets a cold one. A s the tw o w in ds m ove around each
o th er, a fu n n el o f spin n in g a ir form s. The fa s te r it spins, the m ore p o w erfu l it becomes.
A t its base, a torn ado can be fro m 100 m etres to o v e r 1 k ilo m etre w ide. The w id e r it
is, the m ore d estru ctive it can be.
Th e m ost v io le n t tornadoes have w in d speeds o f m ore than 400 k ilom etres an hour. A s
you can im a gin e, such a tw is te r can d estro y e v e ry th in g in its path. Tornadoes can pick
up cars, houses and train s and put them dow n in the n ex t street — or even in the n ext
tow n. One torn ado picked up a school house, tu rned it around, and then set it dow n back
wards.
In R ussia, d u rin g one torn ado, people w ere am azed to see m oney fa llin g ou t o f the
sky. A t least a thousand coins dropped fro m the clouds. Th e w inds had rem oved the earth
fro m a b u ried treasu re, then picked up the coins.
Once, a man fro m T exas opened the d oor o f his house, and fe ll 10 m etres to the
grou nd! H is house had alrea d y taken o ff. L u c k ily , the man rem ained a live.
M ost tornadoes last a fe w m inutes, but some can last several hours. Such tornadoes
are esp ecially d estru ctive.
Some people th in k th at you are safe fro m tornadoes i f you are near riv e rs , lakes and
m ountains. H ow w ro n g th ey are! Tornadoes can go up 3 ,000-m etre m ountains, as w e ll as
across riv e r s and lakes.
Tornadoes occur alm ost eve ry w h e re in the w o rld , but the cou n try th at sees the
stro n gest tw isters is the U n ited States o f A m eric a . A b o u t 800 tornadoes h it the cou n try
e v e ry year.
N o tw o tw isters are e x a c tly alike. Each torn ado has its ow n colou r, sound and shape.
Each torn ado is fille d w ith surprises because nobody can e v e r te ll w h ere it m ig h t go or

Th e n in eteen th -cen tu ry in v e n to r M a rg a re t K n ig h t was born in the U S A in 1838. A s a
yo u n g g ir l, she was made to w o rk in a cotton fa c to r y by her parents. W h ile she was
w o rk in g th ere, th ere was an accident and som ebody was alm ost k illed b y a machine.
M a rg a re t was o n ly 12 at the tim e, but she in ven ted a w a y to f i x the m achine so th at i f
th ere was the same fa u lt again, the m achine w ou ld stop at once.
She had m ore than e ig h ty in ven tion s, and the m ost im p o rta n t one was a m achine
p rodu cin g paper bags w ith fla t bottom s. B ut none o f them b ro u gh t her much m oney. In
those days, wom en w ere not encouraged to be business people any m ore than th e y w ere
encouraged to be in ven to rs. Once M a rg a re t K n ig h t had produced an in ven tio n , she w ould
usually sell it to som ebody fo r n ot much cash, and w hen she died in 1914, all she le ft was
275 dollars.
Beulah H e n ry also began in v e n tin g th in gs when she was a yo u n g g ir l. In 1912, at the

age o f 25, she g o t her fir s t paten t fo r an ice-cream fre e ze r. A yea r later, she patented a
parasol — an um brella fo r the sun — w ith in changeable covers so th at a wom an could
m atch h er parasol w ith her clothes. The in ve n tio n earned her about 50,000 d ollars fro m
the m anu factu rers.
In all, she p aten ted 49 in ven tion s. B ut fo r som eone w ith such a lo n g career,
su rp ris in g ly litt le is know n about Beulah H e n r y ’ s personal life . She was born in the U S A
in 1887 and g re w up in an a rtis tic fa m ily . The o n ly o th er fa c t w h ich is known is th at she

N e w S ecrets o f th e T ita n ic
The T it a n ic set sail fro m Southam pton to N e w Y o r k on the 10th o f A p r il, 1912. It had
2,208 people on board. It was the la rges t ship in the w o rld and everyo n e called it
‘ un sin kable’ . On the 14th o f A p r il, fo u r days in to its fir s t v o y a ge , the T it a n ic h it a huge
iceb erg. Ic y w a te r began f illin g the ship and it sank w ith in 3 hours. O nly 705 people
su rvived .
The T i t a n i c ’s w reck was d iscovered on the ocean flo o r in 1985 and has been studied
closely e v e r since. T o m ark the 100th a n n iversary o f the sin k in g, Jam es Cam eron, the
d ire c to r o f the fam ous film T it a n ic , ga th ered a team o f exp erts to exam in e the shipw reck
again. T h ey used 3D m o d ellin g and state-o f-th e-art tech n o lo gy to fin d out how the
T it a n ic sank.
W h en the T it a n ic h it the iceb erg, th ere was a b ig hole in its hull and w a te r began
f illin g the lo w e r parts o f the ship. B ut Jam es Cam eron says th at the ship could have sunk
m ore slow ly, a llo w in g a g re a te r num ber o f people to s u rvive. M an y o f the sh ip ’ s
p orth oles w ere fou n d open. E xp erts th in k passengers opened these w in dow s to a ir th e ir
room s and then n ever closed them . So the ship took on w a ter fa s te r. The same th in g
happened in one o f the gran d halls, w h ere a la rge door was fou n d open. The sh ip ’ s second
o ffic e r had ord ered to open it d u rin g the evacu ation and it stayed open — le ttin g w a ter
q u ick ly f i l l the sh ip ’ s lo w e r h a lf. ‘ The d oor was tw ice the size o f the hole caused by the
ic e b e r g ,’ Jam es says. ‘ T h a t sped up the sin k in g o f the s h ip .’
A s the T it a n ic took on w a ter, the nose o f the ship sank b elow the su rface. T his caused
the back to l i f t in to the air. Soon the stress was too g re a t and the ship broke in h a lf. ‘ I t ’ s
as i f som eone held the ends o f a banana and broke it in tw o ,’ says Jam es Cam eron.
But the T it a n ic d id n ’ t sink e x a c tly the w a y he described it in the film . ‘ Th ere was
probably a m om ent w h ere it was stan d in g up in the w a ter, but it w asn ’ t as d ram atic and
static as w e showed in the film . It probably w asn ’ t s tra ig h t up, it was p robably at an
a n g le .’
In its fin a l re stin g place 4,6 k ilom etres u n d erw ater, the fr o n t p art looks s u rp ris in g ly
in ta ct. B ut the back looks lik e a bomb d estroyed it. T h a t’ s because the nose was fille d
w ith w a te r w hen it sank, so the pressure was the same on the in side as the outside. The
back p art, h ow ever, sank w ith lots o f a ir inside. It exp loded because o f the p ressu re,’
Jam es says.
‘W e have a v e r y good p ictu re o f w h at happen ed,’ Jam es says. ‘ But th ere w ill alw ays
be m y s te rie s .’

The Leanin g Tow er of Pisa

Th e good citizen s o f P isa stau nchly b elie ve th a t the lean in g to w er w ill n ever fa ll.
O rig in a lly b u ilt on poor fou n dation s, the to w er has w ith stoo d several m ild earthquakes
and e x ten sive bom bin g in W o r ld W a r II. The Tuscan sun p ou rin g d a ily onto the P ia z z a
del M ira c o li makes the ston ew ork con tin u a lly expand and con tract, and s till it stands.
In 1174, Bonnano P isan o, an Ita lia n en gin eer, began to w o rk on a bell to w er fo r the
cath edral in P isa , Ita ly . W h en P isan o started, he had no idea the bell to w er w ou ld become
a fam ous to u rist a ttra ctio n and one o f the m ost fam ous stru ctu res in the w orld . N o r did
he guess it w ou ld be fam ous because o f a m istake.
Th e to w er was to be 56 m etres h igh . The con stru ction started and th ree stories w ere
b u ilt. Then the to w er began to lean. The soil beneath the towmr was s o ft and the
fou n d a tio n was not s tro n g enough to support its w e igh t.

Pisa n o trie d to correct th is b y m akin g the new stories a b it ta lle r on the short s
but the e x tra b u ild in g m aterials caused the to w er to lean s till fu rth e r. The constr..
was stopped fo r alm ost one hundred years.
In 1275, the con stru ction began again. T h is tim e tw o stories w ere b u ilt ou t o f the line
w ith the others to a lte r the cen ter o f g r a v ity . The to w er was fin a lly fin ish ed in the 14th
cen tu ry, but each yea r it leans about 2 m illim eters. The bells w ere in stalled in the top in
1350, but th ey are no lo n g er ru ng, fo r fe a r the vib ra tio n s m ig h t ra ttle the tow er.
In W o r ld W a r II, when it was a N a z i observation post, the A llie s considered knocking
it out w ith an a r tille r y strik e. A US A r m y sergean t cancelled the strik e, thus sa vin g the
to w er fo r gen era tion s o f tou rists.
In 1934, the Ita lia n go vern m en t put con crete under the base to t r y to correct the
lean in g, but the lean in g increased. A rc h ite c ts are s till search in g fo r a solu tion. T h ey fea r
th at one day th e ir to w er w ill lean too fa r and fa ll down.
The earthquakes w ere n ot stro n g enough to d estro y the tow er.

The gam e we know as basketball appeared in 1891 in the U S A and now is played all around the
w orld. Its inventor, James N aism ith, taught physical train in g in a college. His students liked to
play ball. N aism ith put tw o baskets at opposite ends o f the court, and the players w ere to throw
the balls into them. A t fir s t a ladder was used to take the ball out o f the basket. L ater baskets
were made bottom less so that the ball would drop rig h t through them. A t fir s t basketball was
only played by A m erican college students. The new game became v e ry popular. First
com petitions were held in 1895 in the U S A . In 1936 basketball was included in the program m e of
the Olym pic Games. In Russia basketball is played everyw here: at schools, universities and
sports clubs. There are many rules that govern the game, and people say that it is easier to learn
to play basketball than to understand it.

People have always known that there is a link between pollution and poor health. M any scientists
believe our health is in trouble, because we have had polluted land, air and w ater fo r too long.
But fe w o f us w ill believe that the greatest pollution is not outside but inside our homes, offices
and cars. The main sources o f indoor pollution are rig h t under people’ s noses — dry-cleaned
clothes, dusty carpets, fum es fro m cooking and heating and ciga rette smoke. O f course this list
is incom plete. Indoor air and house dust are fu ll o f poisons that can be carried in on people’ s
shoes. Carpets are most troublesome. They contain dangerous bacteria, even i f people vacuum
them regu larly. W ip in g one’ s fe e t on a door-mat reduces the amount o f pollutants in a carpet by
a fa ctor o f six. But i f you rem ove your shoes before en terin g it is even more e ffe c tiv e . These acts

Scientists say that in the fu tu re people w ill liv e longer. W ith healthier lifestyles and better

pizzas are fa tten in g, cola spoils our teeth and co ffe e shortens our lives. I f we eat too much, it w ill
lead to heart disease and other serious illnesses. But the w orld today is g ettin g fa tte r and fa tter.
Lack o f exercise is another serious problem. W e spend hours in fro n t o f our computers and TV-
sets. Few o f us do m orning exercises. W e walk less, because we p refer to use cars or public
transport. I t ’ s common knowledge that sm oking and drinking can shorten our lives

Did you know that d iffe re n t colours have had im portant meanings since ancient times. F or the
m ysterious M aya civilisa tion every colour had a m eaning, eith er p ositive or n egative. For
exam ple, yellow was the symbol o f the sun, and blue meant the w earer had royal ancestors. Red
stood fo r blood. Black sym bolised w ar and death. In ancient E gypt, fo r exam ple, gold was the
colour o f the Sun god and the symbol o f power. In tradition al A sian cultures, w h ite is still the
colour o f sorrow. Today, fashion dictates not only the clothes we wear, but the colours, too. But
the best th in g is to go fo r the colours that suit you best. A n d remember that colours can influence
the w ay you feel. F or exam ple, w earin g a red sweater or jacket can increase you r en ergy levels.
But i f you wear it too long, you can start to fe e l im patient or aggressive. Green, on the other
hand, is known to calm the nerves and soothe em otions. W e a r colours that make you feel
confident and relaxed.

Throughout centuries man and dog lived side by side. Dogs w ere popular in ancient Greece, Rome

were derived d irectly from w olves. A n d all these 12,000 years people have experim ented w ith
dogs, try in g to develop the characteristics they wanted, and that resulted in the huge va riety of
breeds we have today. People quickly understood that dogs could be used to w ork in many fields.

most news seems to be bad news. But people aren’ t interested just in ordin ary events. That is why

The language o f gestures is w idely used in comm unication. Sometimes a gesture can even replace
a word like in sport, aviation, in “ the talk ” o f deaf people etc. A Japanese w ill applaud stretching

great disapproval. T ra ve llin g around the w orld you may come across some v e ry fu nny gestures.
For exam ple, in Tib et a passer-by can show you his tongue to “ say” that he’ s fe elin g fin e and that

The school system in the U K may seem rather confusing fo r people from other countries. There

Задание 2
A . I think this is a great w ay o f going to school or to the shops. I use it all the time. This is a cheap w ay o f
tra vellin g as the ticket is not v e ry expensive, and you can use it in cities or fo r longer distances. I ’ve always
travelled to school and as fa r as I know, many o f m y classmates do the same. I t ’ s true that sometimes you have
to w ait a long time, but I don’ t mind that. A n d sometimes there are lots o f people, i t ’ s a bit crowded, but
I don’ t think th at’s a big problem. The most unpleasant thing is to get stuck in a tra ffic jam, because then you
never know when you get to school.
B. I like this method because i t ’ s a good way o f keeping fit , and i t ’ s fast. I ’ve done it fo r about a year now.
I don’ t mean w inter o f course. W hen the weather is bad, I sometimes take the bus, but I try not to. A nd most
im portant — I don’ t care about big tra ffic jams. I can go through the park, and take the shortest way, so i t ’ s
usually quicker. I carry m y books in a basket on the fron t. The main problem is that I have to leave it at
school, and sometimes I w orry that someone is goin g t take it. I t ’ s not ve ry nice when someone steals it, is it?
C. I usually go to school this way, because I live a long w ay from school, and it ’ s a v e ry d iffic u lt journey by
bus. You have to change buses twice and it takes ages. I ’ve tried cycling but I g et v e ry tired when I get to
school. Besides, I can’t do that in winter. So m y dad usually takes me. W e talk on the way, or I check my
homework. Going to school is fin e, but I sometimes have problems coming home. I often have to w ait fo r my
dad, but i t ’ s still quicker than by bus.
D. I think this way o f tra vellin g is fun. I don’ t live v e ry fa r from school, so I can travel this way along the
pavement. I t ’ s true, some people don’ t like this. They think i t ’ s dangerous, and they say that pavements are
fo r walking. Sometimes they shout at me. I don’ t agree w ith them, o f course. I think this is a modern way o f
tra vellin g short distances fo r kids. I t ’ s better tan a bike too. W hen it rains, or you feel tired, you can hang it
over your shoulder and walk.
E. This is the best kind o f transport fo r such a big city. I ’ m lucky to live not fa r from the station, I just
have to walk fiv e minutes. A n d the moment I get in, I care neither about the weather nor about the tra ffic . O f
course, it can be a bit crowded in rush hours, but otherwise i t ’ s ve ry comfortable. I t ’ s cool in hot weather and
warm in cold weather. But most im portant, i t ’ s the quickest way. I just can’ t im agine city life w ithout it.

Ann: That would be great. But what about the job? K in d o f secretary or anything else? By the way, my

Susan: Is there a place to eat near the shop, or do you take anything from home fo r you lunch?
A n n : M ost days I take sandwiches from home. I t ’ s much cheaper. There’ s a nice park round the corner

A . The B ritish like form in g queues. They queue up when w aiting fo r a bus, theatre tickets, in shops. They
don’ t like it when a person gets on a bus w ithout w aiting his turn. The B ritish may get really annoyed w ith
queue-jumpers — people who don’ t w ait their turn in the queue.
B. The B ritish, especially the English, are more reserved than the people o f many other countries. They
don’ t like to show their emotions. They usually don’ t easily get into conversation w ith strangers. They don’ t
like personal questions (fo r example, how much money they earn or about their fa m ily life ). They take more
tim e to make friends. They would like to know you better before they ask you home. So don’ t be upset i f your
English friends don’ t in vite you home.
C. These days most people in B ritain do not wear ve ry form al clothes. O f course, when they are ‘ on
du ty’ they have to obey certain rules. You cannot im agine a bank employee w ithout a suit or a tie. But when he
is no longer ‘ at w ork’ , he can put on an old sweater and jeans, sometimes w ith holes in them.
D. In recent years smoking has received a lot o f bad publicity, and few er people now smoke. There is no
more smoking on the London Underground, in cinemas and theatres and most buses. Many companies have
banned smoking from their offices and canteens. A n d non-smokers can be rude to smokers who break the rule
and smoke in public places.
E. In some countries it is considered bad manners to eat in the street. In Britain it is quite common to see
people having a snack w hile w alking down the road, especially at lunchtime. Nobody pays attention to it as it
seems quite natural.

A. W hen exam ination tim e comes, I try to stay awake by drinking cups o f coffee w hile I am studying, r

eight hours a night to feel really energetic the next day. It really wouldn’ t help i f I stayed up late studying

B. Some people give up everyth ing to spend their tim e studying, but I still meet up w ith my friends. A s
well as that, I do a lot o f exercise and w hat’ s more I have a good long walk or jo g the night before m y exam.
I know that m y brain w ill function better i f I am in a good shape.
C. I know that I can only concentrate fo r a lim ited tim e, so I stop every hour fo r ten minutes when I am
gettin g ready fo r m y exams. I may go fo r a walk to clear m y head, or just sit and think about something. A ft e r
that i t ’ s much easier to go back to m y books.
D. The night before the exams I go out with m y friends. I don’t believe in last minute revision. W e usually
go fo r a walk, or watch a video, preferably a comedy. I t ’s good to laugh a lot and to see the funny side o f things
when there is so much hard work to do the next day.
E. I usually panic at exams, so I plan how much tim e I w ill need fo r each question. I try to ignore all those
people around me, who are w ritin g really fast and never solve a question until I have thought about it and

A . Colours have always been im portant fo r humans. In many ancient civilisation s, people painted
coloured circles and lines around th eir eyes and mouths. O rigin ally they did this to please the gods and
scare away e v il spirits. But they soon realised that colour could be used to make their faces and bodies
beau tifu l — and cosmetics w ere born.
B. B ody painting is one o f the most ancient arts o f humankind and today it is com ing back into fashion.
U n til recently, only men used tattoos on th eir bodies. N ow , however, they can be seen on many women and
girls, too. G irls who don’ t want to have tattoos use rem ovable transfers to decorate their arms and legs.
C. The colours o f our clothes are also v e ry im portant. For exam ple, w earin g a red sweater or jacket can
increase you r energy. But i f you w ear it too long, you can start to fe el im patient or aggressive. The colour
green, on the other hand, is known to calm the nerves and soothe emotions. Blue colour is supposed to be
the colour o f balance and harmony.
D. For the m ysterious A zte c and M aya civilisation s every colour had a m eaning, either positive or
n egative. F or exam ple, yellow was the symbol o f the sun, and blue meant the person had royal ancestors.
R ed stood fo r blood. Black sym bolised w ar and death. In ancient Egypt, gold was the sign o f power.
E. In nature v e ry bright colours, such as yellow, red and orange are used both to warn and to attract. Birds
reptiles, fish and insects use brilliant combinations o f colours to attract mates. B utterflies are an exceller.;
example. Some animals also use bright colours to warn their enemies that they are nasty and poisonous.

almost all your life , so you know better what is w orth seeing.

Masha: It w ill be v e ry kind o f you. But let me guess: ‘ Shall we start from the center?’
M ike: Sure. Red Square w ill be the fir s t place w e’ re goin g to vis it. W e shall stop at the Lenin
Mausoleum to watch the changing o f the guards who stand beside it. Then w e’ ll go as fa r as the
cathedral o f St. Basil.
Masha: The one w ith its seven domes, each o f a d iffe re n t colour and pattern. R igh t?
Mike: A bsolutely. Do you know anything else about it?
Masha: N o idea.
Mike: I t ’ s famous as i t ’ s unique. Tsar Ivan the T errib le ordered to blind the architects so that they
couldn’ t reproduce the cathedral in any other places.
Masha: How cruel it was!
Mike: I ’ m o f the same opinion, though a lot o f people believe that it was only a legend.
Masha: There must be a monument somewhere near the cathedral. A m I right?
Mike: In fro n t o f the cathedral o f St. Basil th ere’ s a monument to M inin and Pozharsky. They did a lot
to save Russian people from the Polish invaders.
Masha: Oh! H ere we are at last. N ow I can see everyth in g w ith m y own eyes. W h at a w ide square! How
unusual the cathedral is!

A . Chat rooms are great! Y ou can talk to lots o f people at the same tim e. Y ou can exchange view s and

To tell the tru th I am a b it shy w ith new people in real life . In a chat room everyth in g is quite d iffe re n t.
I fin d it so cool!
B. I ’ve got a lot o f Internet boyfriends. Th ey sometimes ask me out, but I just say no because I think
they are all fake. O f course, I chat w ith them online and share some news but I always keep in mind that i t ’ s
all just a game. Some o f m y classmates tried In tern et dating and w ere absolutely disappointed.

A . I spend most o f m y tim e doing odd jobs around the house. I rea lly like painting and decorating,

I hate having nothing to do. It makes me feel ill at ease.
B. M y parents always have people fo r dinner on Saturday nights, or we get in vitation s to have dinner
w ith friends. Sometimes we go out to restaurants. W e like Chinese food and there are also plenty o f good
Indian restaurants. B y the way, I say ‘W e ’ because I rarely go out separately from m y fam ily. W e are great
friends and I fe el equally com fortable in the company o f m y parents’ friends.
C. I go shopping. I adore it and I go shopping fo r clothes at least tw ice a month. M y dad usually gives me
a certain sum, and besides, I have taken a Saturday job. O f course, sometimes I haven’ t got enough money.
Then I go w indow shopping and decide what I ’ m goin g to buy when I ’ m rich.
D. I go round the clubs, m eeting friends, dancing, listen in g to music, that sort o f thing. I try to go out
every Saturday and stay out until about tw o or three. I just can’ t stand staying at home. On weekdays I just
have a short walk w ith m y friends and try to be in bed by m idnight. School success is im portant fo r me.

Задание 2
A . То tell the tru th I love shopping and I love clothes. I rarely go shopping w ith a particular thing in
mind. I buy w hatever I like and try to match it w ith som ething I have at home; i f I can’ t fin d anything to
match it w ith , I g et another excuse to go shopping again. I own clothes in various colours, so I almost
always have som ething to match.
B. It depends on m y mood and m y budget. G enerally, I shop when I need to. But I can be somewhat
im pulsive, buying som ething just because I rea lly like it. U sually later I can feel g u ilty fo r having spent the
money. N o, clothes-shopping fo r me is not a great experience... it can be fun, but I always have this sligh t
sense o f w anting to get through it as fast as I can.
C. M y shopping habits usually depend on w hether I go alone or w ith a frien d. I f I go alone then I tend to
look at what I want fo r as long as I want, I try on things, and sometimes I can leave a fortu n e at the shop. I f
I go w ith a frien d I make sure we go into stores that both o f us would en joy — I try not to try on clothes as
I don’ t want to make them w ait fo r me, and I watch out fo r m y spending lim it.
D. I love goin g shopping, but how much I buy and what I buy changes every tim e I go. Sometimes I ’ d buy
a lot o f clothes but other times I ’ d just buy a fe w black things. Somehow la tely m y wardrobe has been
g ettin g less and less colourful. It used to be fu ll o f b rig h t things but slow ly I ’ m buying more and more
black. I guess i t ’ s p a rtly because colou rfu l clothes can be hard to fin d at a low cost.
E. I almost always shop alone. I like to take m y tim e and I also hate when people encourage me to buy
things just because they fit . For me to buy som ething, I have to love the way it looks on me and I have to feel
good and com fortable in it. A lso, I never rea lly have a plan when shopping. I am an im pulsive buyer in the
w orst way, particu larly when it comes to shoes.
