Практическая часть
Harry Potter (0) author J.K. Rowling has (1) unveiled the latest addition to her
hugely successful fictional phenomenon - a website called Pottermore.com. The new
site will be officially online from October 2011. People who sign up for it now have
the chance of a sneak preview before then. The official online announcement reads:
“Pottermore is a free website that builds an exciting online experience around the
reading of the Harry Potter books.” The site will include a considerable amount of
unpublished material about Harry Potter that Ms Rowling had to leave out of her
books to keep the word count down. The author says there will be a lot of new info
on the characters’ backgrounds and on wizardly (2) locations.
J.K. Rowling says she is starting Pottermore to thank her fans. "I wanted to
give something back to the fans that have followed Harry so devotedly over the years,
and to bring the stories to a new digital generation,” she said. There is (3) currently
no official Harry Potter website, although there are (4) hugely popular sites run by
fans, such as mugglenet.com and the-leaky-cauldron.org, as well as the Warner
Brothers movie site. Pottermore will allow fans to (5) interact with Rowling and
create new content together. She said: "I hope fans and those new to Harry will have
as much fun helping to shape Pottermore as I have." She added that fans “will be able
to enjoy a safe, unique online reading experience built around the books”.
In 2018, Rowling and Pottermore released Harry Potter – A Journey Through
A History of Magic. These books included an audiobook narrated by Game of
Thrones actor Natalie Dormer. The four new eBooks are adaptations from this
audiobook. The audio book will expand on the topics, while also featuring
manuscript pages and notes that will continue the ongoing education of muggles in
everything magic.
Task A Circle the word that can replace the underlined word without changing the
meaning.

Indian leader calls for global yoga day.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has (0) asked world leaders to start a
U.N. International Yoga Day. He was speaking at the U.N. General Assembly in New
York. It was his very first speech at the 193-member General Assembly. He assured
the General Assembly that the First International Day of Yoga would be a grand
success next year.
He spoke about the (1) benefits of yoga, saying it was good for the mind and
body, and could also help climate change. He said yoga provides harmony between
humans and nature, and is "an invaluable gift" from India's 5,000-year-old culture.
Modi said: "It is not about exercise, but to discover the sense of oneness with
yourself, the world and the nature." He added: "By changing our lifestyle and
creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change."
Many doctors and people in the medical community say yoga is a good way to
stay physically and mentally healthy. Yoga makes you (2) focus on exercise,
breathing and meditation. Yoga is the 5,000-year-old Indian physical, mental and
spiritual practice. Aim of the yoga is to transform body and mind. A lot of research
says it can help people with heart disease, high blood pressure and lower back pain.
Studies also say yoga can (3) improve our mood, (4) reduce stress and make us sleep
better. However, there is also research that says people need to be careful when doing
yoga. Wikipedia says: "An extensive survey of yoga practitioners in Australia
showed that about 20 per cent had (5) suffered some physical injury while practicing
15
yoga." A World Yoga Day already exists. It was started by the world-yoga-day in
2007.

People are now (0) banned from climbing one of the most (1) sacred sites in
indigenous Australian culture. The world’s largest monolith, the giant Uluru in the
desert of Australia's Northern Territory, is now officially off-limits to tourists and
climbers. It will be closed from October 25 in recognition of the site's cultural
significance to the local Anangu traditional owners. The giant site was once known as
Ayers Rock, before it reverted to its historic name of Uluru. It has been a major
attraction for decades. Tourists from around the world have flocked there in droves to
climb the rock. However, it is a sacred site in Anangu culture. The Anangu
custodians of the rock have long campaigned for the ban.
The ban was (2) initially announced in 2017. The most visitors complied with
it. Australia's tourist association said that only 16 per cent of visitors have actually (3)
climbed the rock since 2017. Local Anangu man Rameth Thomas, who grew up in a
tiny (4) community near Uluru, explained to the BBC how important the rock is to
his people. He said: "That place is a very sacred place. That's like our church. I've
been telling them since I was a little boy: 'We don't want you to climb the rock.'" He
added: "All of our stories are on the rock. People right around the world come just to
climb it. They've got no respect." Another (5) resident said: "If I tried to climb on top
of that parliament house at Canberra, they wouldn't let me in."

Satellites may obscure our views of the stars.
Astronomers are (0) concerned that our views of the heavens are becoming
more and more obscured. Their warning comes ahead of a (1) whole series of satellite
launches by a variety of companies. Thousands of satellites are being (2) launched
into orbit throughout 2020 to make high-speed Internet more readily available across
the world from space. The scientists say the skies will be so littered with arrays of
satellites they will compete for our attention with the stars. They say the satellites will
link up to form "mega-constellations" that could interfere with radio astronomy and
the quality of images from optical telescopes. The astronomers said the satellites will
appear as dazzling white streaks of light that could be mistaken for stars.
Dhara Patel, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich said: "These
satellites are about the size of a table, but they're very reflective, and their panels
reflect lots of the Sun's light, which means that we can see them in images that we
take with telescopes. "These satellites are also big radiowave users… and that means
they can interfere with the signals that astronomers using. So it also affects radio
astronomy as well." She warns that problem will grow as the numbers of satellites in
orbit increase.
Technology analysts say there are plans to launch as many as 46,000 satellites
into space over the next few years. This is five times more than the number of (3)
objects sent into space since the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, over six decades ago.
Satellites from companies like SpaceX and Amazon will provide much faster Internet
speeds to even the (4) remotest areas of the world. They will provide global
connectivity across the globe. Even today, about 14 million people in the USA live in
(5) rural areas with zero Internet coverage. SpaceX will launch 120 satellites in
January and has plans to send a further 12,000 into orbit in the next decade.
Astrophysicist Dr Dave Clements called the initiative a "tragedy".

A child protection charity in the UK is urging parents to ask their children for
permission before uploading photos and videos of them on social media. This follows
a study by Ofcom, a communications watchdog, revealing that parents are divided on
whether it is right to post photos of their children online. The practice of parents
uploading photos and videos of their kids is (0) termed "sharenting". This is a (1)
combination of the words "share" and "parenting". Ofcom said the biggest reason for
parents not sharing photos of their kids is to protect the privacy of under-18s. The
NSPCC said: "Each time a photo or video is uploaded, it creates a digital footprint of
a child which can follow them into adult life."
35
The website theatlantic.com highlighted how prevalent “sharenting” is in the
USA. It said: "In the United States, the (2) vast majority of 2-year-olds…already
have an online presence. More than 80 per cent of babies younger than that are
already on social media." The website said there is a (3) conflict between a parent's
pride in their children and his or her desire to share photos of them, and the (4)
potential dangers of sharing photos of their kids. Parents often include personal
information about their children along with the photos they upload. This could put
kids at risk of identity theft and digital kidnapping. There is also the danger of parents
publishing real-time information about their children's (5) whereabouts.
Children’s advocates argue that kids have a moral right to control their own
digital footprint, and perhaps even a legal right.

"World of Warcraft" (WoW), one of the world's favourite (0) online games,
has reported big losses in its subscriber (1) base. Technical problems began from the
very first day of operation: frequent disconnects rampant lag, and crashing realms.
After a crash, when the realm came back online, everyone tried to log in at once.
Overloaded log-in servers couldn't handle the sudden flood. Thousands of angry new
subscribers could only stare at their screens, unable to play
Over 600,000 players have left the game in the past three months. The (2)
exodus has seen almost two million subscriptions ended in 2013. At the start of the
year, Activision Blizzard, owners of the game, boasted healthy 9.6 million
subscribers. That figure is now 7.7 million. Despite the (3) huge decline, it is still
easily the world's most popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game
(MMORPG). Analysts are saying the drop is due to (4) fierce competition from
hugely popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games like "League of
Legends," which has 12 million active daily players.
Despite the downturn in the fortunes of WoW, Activision is pushing ahead to
provide the company with greater independence. Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision
Blizzard, is spearheading an $8.2billion buyout to be the majority shareholder once
again. He wants to buy 429 million of the company's shares back from French
telecoms and entertainment giant Vivendi. The French company currently holds a 61
per cent controlling stake in Activision, which would fall to just 12 per cent if the (5)
acquisition is successful. Mr Kotick, who has been Activision CEO since 1991, is a
strong believer in the future of online subscriptions. He oversaw the success of WoW
and another Activision smash hit, "Call Of Duty".

New research says that language barriers are holding back science around the
world. English is widely accepted to be the language of science, but one-third of
research is not published in English. This means a lot of (0) significant research is
not seen or read by scientists and researchers. The research is from the University of
Cambridge. Researchers said important science is being missed at the international
level. They said science journals should publish basic summaries of a study's key
findings in multiple languages. They also said universities around the world should
translate their research into different languages, especially Chinese, French,
Portuguese and Spanish.
51
The language barrier means that practitioners and researchers struggle to access
and use new knowledge, while a focus of research only on English may lead to biases
in the understanding of key issues, the study says.
"The real problem of language barriers in science is that few people have tried
to solve it. Native English speakers tend to assume that all the important information
is available in English. But this is not true, as we show in our study,” says Tatsuya
Amano from the Department of Zoology and lead author of the study.
Many international companies are now asking all their (1) staff to
communicate only in English. They hope this will (2) reduce language barriers. The
German carmaker Volkswagen has just announced that English and not German is its
official language. VW executives said the (3) switch to English was to attract
employees. The Japanese carmaker Honda has also announced that all its staff must
use English by 2020. Researcher Tatsuya Amano said: "I believe the scientific
community needs to start seriously (4) tackling this issue." He used the example that
important research about avian flu in China (5) initially went unnoticed by the World
Health Organization because it was published in journals in Chinese.
Task A Circle the word that can replace the underlined word without changing the

It's great being a tourist and (0) leisurely wandering around old towns and
villages seeing the sites, but is it such a thrill for the local residents? Old Holland are
popular attractions for day trips, but the visitors don't always behave themselves.
Villagers living in the area known as 'Old Holland' outside of Amsterdam have had
enough of visitors traipsing around and of tour guides with megaphones (1)
disturbing their peace. They have got together with local tour companies to create
rules of conduct for tourists. The rules include not photographing residents without
permission, not strolling into their gardens and not dropping litter. The new code of
conduct is an attempt to deal with the growing popularity of the region. Tourism is
booming and the number of tourists is expected to rise by 50 percent in the next
decade.
Old Holland is an (2) idyllic area that matches people's image of Dutch life
from a slower, bygone age. There are windmills everywhere and locals live in
beautifully (3) preserved, traditional wooden houses. Local resident Peter-Jan van
Steenbergen told Holland's Het Parool newspaper that the village of Zaanse Schans is
like an open-air museum. He said: "I talked to one (4) resident who opened his
curtains in the morning and looked into the camera lenses of nine amateur
photographers." He added: "The visitors seem to be happy knocking on the wooden
houses to see if it is (5) real wood. If you are the resident of that house that is not
pleasant, of course." He said the busloads of tourists were the biggest nuisance. The
Zaanse Schans itself welcomes up to two million visitors each year.

Scientists have (0) discovered a bizarre link between music and cheese. Different
(1) genres of music affect the way cheese matures. A top Swiss cheese-maker and a
team of researchers from Switzerland's Bern University conducted a six-month test to
look into the effect music had on the maturation process of Emmental cheese. After
the cheese had matured, it was sampled and assessed by the researchers and a jury of
culinary cheese experts. The researchers found that cheese that had been played hip-
hop had a stronger aroma and flavour than the other samples. The cheese aficionados
reached the same conclusion as the researchers - the hip-hop cheese was the tastiest.
The experiment involved exposing different cheeses to a 24-hour, (2) non-stop
musical loop. A music player directed sound waves at the cheese for six months. The
experiment was (3) titled "Cheese in Surround Sound". The music included Mozart's
"The Magic Flute," Led Zeppelins rock classic "Stairway to Heaven," and A Tribe
Called Quest's hip-hop tune "Jazz (We’ve Got)". A control cheese aged in silence,
while three other wheels were exposed to simple high, medium and low frequency
tones.
A researcher explained the differences in (4) taste. He said: "Bacteria are
responsible for the formation of the taste of cheese, with the enzymes that (5)
influence its maturity. I am convinced that humidity, temperature or nutrients are not
the only things that influence taste. Sounds, ultrasounds or music can also have
physical effects."
If you want healthy plants, some people say you should talk to them. If you
want to make delicious cheese, try to play hip-hop music.
Task A Circle the word that can replace the underlined word without changing the
