Reading test. School in the Slums
Mellish school is in the slums of Brooklyn
for pupils between twelve and fifteen years of age. There are about 1500 pupils
there, and 90 teachers.
It’s a problem school, perhaps
one of the most difficult schools in America. The white teachers can’t walk to
the school because they may be attacked. They all drive to school, and their
cars have special locks.
There’s always a black policeman at the door of the school. He has a radio
contact with the school guards. Pupils must have a written permission from
the teacher if they want to go to the toilet. There’s a guard outside the
washroom. Only one child can go into the washroom at a time, and he can’t stay
there long.
The children who live in that
district go to that school. They are all black children. However, why do the
teachers work there?
“It’s very hard of course,”
says Jane Flinch, a forty- five-year-old teacher. Most children have problems
at home. Some of them are beaten by their parents. Some of them sleep at the
lessons because they had to work at night. Some of the children get sick at the
lessons because they didn’t have breakfast or even a meal for a day or two.
It’s the love of the job that
keeps the teachers in that school. They teach and do social work. They feel
that they are doing something good for the children who need help.
“There’s also the problem of
violence,” says one of the teachers. “Sometimes when I go into a class, I can
feel that some of the children are like a dynamite. However, I feel quite safe.
I am sure that other pupils will help me.” There is very little money for
teaching in that school. There is no money to buy food for the children.
The
principal of the school has been there for many years. A lot of his happy
optimism has gone. “No, I’m not optimistic about the future. Look around you,”
he says and points out of the window at the high wall round the school. ”It’s
not a very bright sight: buildings have holes instead of the windows, shops are
closed, groups of people are sitting on the steps of the houses. They have
nowhere to go and nothing to do.”
“We need money,” he says,
“money is the only way to help this school and these people, and, of course,
jobs for the people.”
Say if the statements are true, false or not mentioned.
1.
Mellish school is in the slums of Mexico.
2.
Most children have problems at home.
3. Mellish
a problem school.
4.
The principal of the school has 5 children in his family.
5. The
school needs money.
6.
It’s good salary that keeps the teachers in that school.

Reading
test. Presents for the Natives
Miklukho-Maclay
was a Russian scientist and traveller who lived more than a year on the island
of New Guinea. The ship came to the island in the evening of a September day in
1871. Next morning the captain said to Maclay:
“You
are coming ashore. Why don’t you take more men with you? Have you a gun?”
“I
don’t need a gun. I have presents for the natives.”
The
island was beautiful. There were trees and flowers everywhere, and it was very
hot. The sun shone brightly high above Maclay’s head. He walked for some time
down a forest path. Suddenly he stopped because he heard a noise. A native
stood in front of him. He looked at Maclay quickly and then started running
away. Maclay ran after him. The native looked back and suddenly stopped. Maclay
took out some presents and showed them to the man. The native took the presents
and smiled. This was how Miklukho-Maclay met the first black man on the first
day of his life in New Guinea. The native’s name was Tui. He was Maclay’s best
friend all the time that the traveller lived on the island.
On
the first of October Maclay started out for a walk in the forest. He carried no
gun. He had only a notebook and a pencil. In the forest, he met a native boy
who saw him and ran away. Maclay heard the voices of men and women and the
cries of children. Suddenly many men with spears in their hands came out. They
stopped and looked at Maclay angrily. When he tried to say something, one of
the men wanted to throw his spear at him. Maclay did not know a word of their
language. He could not explain that he was their friend. He knew that he had to
do something quickly. And a good idea came to him. He suddenly sat down on the
ground and began to take off his shoes. Then he lay down, put a bag under his
head and ... slept. The natives did nothing to him.
Correct
the following sentences according to the test “Presents tor the Natives".
1. Miklukho
Maclay lived on the Island more than two years.
2. Miklukho-Maclay
took a lot of men with him when he came ashore.

4. Tui

5. When

Reading
test. The Olympic Champion Alexandr Medved Gives Advice
A
wrestler must have many qualities to beat his rivals. He must be strong and
very quick. Then he needs enough strength to tear the rival from the mat and
throw him on the floor.
I
will tell you about myself. I grew up tall and thin with no great strength in
my arms. Wrestling came into my life when I was 18. I was 188 cm tall and
weighed 85 kg and could not compete with my rivals in strength.
Then
I decided to build up my muscles. I developed a system of exercises, which
helped me to become stronger. I spent much time weight lifting. I lifted a bar
equal to my own weight, which is up to 100 kg. However, that happened after two
years of regular exercising. At first, the weight was only 30-40 kg. In
general, I advise to choose the weight, which is twice as small as your own.
Push-ups
were also of great help to me. At first, I could push up only 3 or 4 times, so
weak were my arms! Then 30 times. Interesting enough, if you strengthen your
legs, you feel as if your body has become much lighter. It is a very useful
exercise. I also worked with dumb-bells and weights and threw heavy stones into
air. You must combine muscle-building exercises with long distance running. It
is a good relaxation for the arms and back muscles.
I
was considered the strongest heavyweight wrestler in the world. However, I have
never been the biggest among my rivals. I weighed a little over 100 kg but
defeated even those who weighed 120, 150 and 180 kg like the American Chris
Taylor whom I threw on the floor at the 1972 Olympics. If you are strong, you
do not fear any rivals! My advice to you is if you want to be strong, take up physical
exercises at once.
Insert
the words, according to the text.
1. A
wrestler must have many qualities to __________ his rivals.
2. ____________came
into my life when I was 18.
3. Then
I decided to build up my ___________.
4. At
first, I could push up only 3 or 4 times, so weak were my ___________
5. I
weighed a little over 100 kg but ______________ even those who weighed 120, 150
and 180 kg
