TRACTORS
Tractors occupy an important place on the farm as a source of power. On many farms they, together with trucks or trailers, have entirely displaced horses for farm work. An advantage of t factors power over the horse is that tractor can be used continuously for heavy work. In addition to pulling implements like ploughs and cultivators, a tractor may be used with implements for bush-cleaning, ditch-filling (засыпка канав) and land-levelling (выравнивание). Small tractors from 1 to 10 horse-power, fitted
with single- or iwin cylinder petrol engines, may he used for garden and orchard work.
Farm tractors may be divided into two groups: wheeled and track-laying. Wheeled tractors may be further subdivided into standard and row-crop (пропашная культура) types. Standard wheeled tractors are used for general farm work and do not have the special features associated with row-crop tractors. Row-crop tractors can be used for all ordinary purposes, but in addition they are specially designed for working on root and other row crops.
Track-laying tractors or crawlers have the great advantage that they can be used for heavy loads (грузы) on almost any class of land. They are considerably more economical in fuel than are wheel machines, but their greater initial cost and their maintenance, particularly that of the tracks, may outweigh (перевесить) this advantage. The crawler is, however, the more efficient type of tractor and, moreover, can go on the land earlier after rain and so can work a greater number of days per year.

Easy chocolate cake
Perfect for birthdays, this is a great recipe for an easy, foolproof chocolate cake. It’s moist and fudgy and will keep well for 4-5 days.
Ingredients
For the cake
For the chocolate icing
Preparation method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich tins.
For the cake, place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, or electric whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. (The cake mixture will now be very liquid.)
Divide the cake batter between the sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in their tins, before icing.
For the chocolate icing, heat the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over a low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk the mixture until smooth, glossy and thickened. Set aside to cool for 1-2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over the cake.
To assemble the cake, run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the cake tins to loosen the cakes. Carefully remove the cakes from the tins.
Spread a little chocolate icing over the top of one of the chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake.
Transfer the cake to a serving plate and ice the cake all over with the chocolate icing, using a palette knife.

PEOPLE AND CAREERS
Deafness Does Not Mean Defeat
When Linda Medleau was in the fourth grade, she had difficulty in spelling class. The problem was not that she misspelled words. When Linda was asked to spell a word, she sometimes spelled a different word-one that rhymed with the word the teacher asked for. The teacher realized Linda had a hearing problem. Tests showed that Linda was 70 percent deaf. Linda had been lip-reading all her life.
At first Linda was embarrassed. She did not what anyone to know that she was hard of hearing. Gradually, she adjusted to her disability. Linda learned to lip-read better. Later she got hearing aids that helped her determine the direction from which sounds came. Her parents did not treat her as though she was different. When Linda said she wanted to be a veterinarian, they encouraged her.
In college, Linda’s hearing disability posed some problems. Teachers might turn their backs to the class and then Linda could not read their lips. In large classes the professor might be too distant for her hearing aids to help much. Throughout college a special friend shared her class notes with Linda. Teachers and other friends offered advice and encouragement.
Many people helped Linda overcome the obstacles that deafness presented. Linda feels that teachers, classmates, and her clients have accepted her hearing problem quite easily. To improve communication, Linda still takes lip-reading lessons each week and now has new, more powerful hearing aids.
In 1979, Linda graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State University. After college, Dr. Linda Medleau began working as an intern in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University.
To become a veterinarian, a person needs at least two years of preveterinary college education. Many students complete three or four years of college of veterinary medicine. There they spend three to four years studying much science. They learn about anatomy, physiology, biology, chemistry, and more. After graduation from the college of veterinary medicine, the students become doctors of veterinary medicine (D.V.M.). They must obtain a government license to practice their profession. Then they may work in private practice, at zoos, in government, or at colleges like Linda.

Components of the Automobile
The automobile is made up of three basic parts: the power plant, or the engine, the chassis and the body.
The engine is the source of power that makes the wheels rotate and the car move. It includes fuel, cooling, lubricating and electric systems. Most automobile engines have six or eight cylinders
The chassis includes a power train (power transmission), a running gear, steering and braking systems as well.
The power train carries the power from the engine to the car wheels.
The power transmission, in turn, contains the clutch, gearbox, propeller or cardan shaft, final drive, differential, rear axle and axle shafts. The running gear consists of a frame with axles, wheels and springs.
The body has a hood, fenders and accessories: the heater, stereo tape recorder, windshield wipers, conditioner, speedometer and so on.
