The
mountains of Scotland (we call them the Highlands) are а wild
and beautiful part of Europe. A golden eagle flies over the
mountains. A deer walks through the silence of the forest. Salmon and
trout swim in the clean, pure water of the rivers. Some say that not only
fish swim in the deep water of Loch Ness. Speak to the people living by
the Loch. Each person has a story of the monster, and some have
photographs.

Arrival can
be the hardest part of a trip. It is late, you are road-weary, and
everything is new and strange. You need an affordable place to sleep,
something to eat and drink, and probably a way to get around. But in
general, it’s a wonderful trip, full of wonderful and unusual places.
Whether it is the first stop on a trip or the fifth city visited, every
traveller feels a little overwhelmed stepping onto a new street in a new

No zoo has
enough money to provide basic habitats or environments for all the
species they keep. Most animals are put in a totally artificial
environment, isolated from everything they would meet in their natural
habitat. Many will agree that this isolation is harmful to the most of
zoo inhabitants, it can even amount to cruelty.

A new London
Zoo Project is a ten year project to secure the future for the Zoo and

business experts to provide world-leading accommodation for all our
animals, to more fully engage and inform people about conservation
issues, to redesign certain aspects of Zoo layout.

Leave-no-trace
camping is an increasingly popular approach to travel in wilderness
areas. As the term suggests, the goal is for the camper to leave as
little impact as possible on the place he is visiting. One of its mottos
is “Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.” Its
simplest and most fundamental rule is: pack it in, pack it out, but it goes
beyond that.

'It's Only Me'
After her husband had
gone to work, Mrs Richards sent her children to school and went
upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any
1 ______ that morning, because in the evening she would be
going to a fancy dress party with her husband. She intended to dress up as
a ghost and she had 2 ______ her costume the
night before. Now she was 3 ______ to try it
on. Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was very
effective. Mrs Richards put it 4 ______, looked
in the mirror, smiled and went downstairs. She wanted to find out whether
it would be 5 ______ to wear.
Just
as Mrs Richards was entering the dining-room, there was
a 6 ______ on the front door. She knew
that it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she
failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. Not
wanting to 7 ______ the poor
man, Mrs Richards quickly hid in the small store-room under the
stairs. She heard the front door open and heavy footsteps in the hall.
Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and a man
entered. Mrs Richards realized that it must be the man from the
Electricity Board who had come to read the meter. She tried to 8 ______ the
situation, saying 'It's only me', but it was too late. The man let out a
cry and jumped back several paces. When Mrs Richards walked
towards him, he ran away, slamming the door behind him.

The residents
of the southern United States are particularly warm to
visitors, ready to welcome them to their homes and to the South in
general. Food places an important role in the traditions of southern
hospitality. A cake or other delicacy is often brought to the door of a
new neighbor as a means of introduction. When a serious illness occurs,
neighbors, friends, and church members generally bring food to that
family as a form of support and encouragement.

Destination
spas exist for those who only can take a short term trip, but still want
to develop healthy habits. Guests reside and participate in the program
at a destination spa instead of just visiting it for a treatment or pure
vacation. Typically over a seven-day stay, such facilities provide a program
that includes spa services, physical fitness activities, wellness
education, healthy cuisine and special interest programming.
|
C.
|
When people
travel, stay in a hotel, eat out, or go to the movies, they rarely think
that they are experiencing many-sided, vast and very diverse hospitality
industry. The tourism industry is very challenging for those who work
there, as they should be able to meet a wide variety of needs and to be
flexible enough to anticipate them. The right person to help us feel at
home likes working with the public, and enjoys solving puzzles.

Ten years
ago, with the help of friends and family, Veit Kühne founded Hospitality
Club as a general-purpose Internet-based hospitality exchange
organization. Now, it is one of the largest hospitality networks with
members in 226 countries. This is a completely free organization, which
involves no money. The core activity is the exchange of accommodation,
when hosts offer their guests the possibility to stay free at their
homes.
|
E.
|
To the ancient
Greeks and Romans, hospitality was a divine right. The host was expected
to make sure the needs of his guests were seen to. In the contemporary
West, hospitality is rarely associated with generously provided care and
kindness to whoever is in need or strangers. Now it is only a service
that includes hotels, casinos, and resorts, which offer comfort and
guidance to strangers, but only as part of a business relationship.

A bed and
breakfast is a type of overnight accommodation with breakfast offered in
someone's private home. This type of service was established
in Europe many years ago and its roots lie a long way back in
history when monasteries provided bed and breakfasts for travelers. But
the term appeared in the UK only after World War II, when
numerous foreigners needed a place to stay and local people opened their
homes and started serving breakfast to those overnight guests.
|
G.
|
Hostels are
nothing more than budget oriented, sociable accommodation where guests
can rent a bed, and share a bathroom, lounge and sometimes a kitchen. But
somehow there are misconceptions that a hostel is a kind of homeless
shelter, a dangerous place where young people can face potential threat.
This does not reflect the high quality and level of professionalism in
many modern hostels.

Nenets
Culture affected
by Global
Warming
For 1,000 years the
indigenous Nenets people have migrated along the 450-mile-long Yamal
peninsula in northern Russia. In summer they wander northwards, taking their
reindeer with them. In winter they return southwards.
But this remote region
of north-west Siberia is now being affected by global warming. Traditionally
the Nenets travel across the frozen River Ob in November A __________
around Nadym. These days, though, this annual winter migration is delayed.
Last year the Nenets, together with many thousands of reindeer, had to wait
until late December B __________.
“Our reindeer were
hungry. There wasn’t enough food,” Jakov Japtik, a Nenets reindeer herder,
said. “The snow is melting sooner, quicker and faster than before. In spring
it’s difficult for the reindeer to pull the sledges. They get tired,” Japtik
said.
Herders say that the
peninsula’s weather is increasingly unpredictable – with unseasonal
snowstorms C __________, and milder longer autumns. In
winter, temperatures used to go down to -50°C. Now they are normally
around -30°C, according to Japtik. “Obviously we prefer -30°C. But
the changes aren’t good for the reindeer D __________,” he
said, setting off on his sledge to round up his reindeer herd.
Here, in one of the
most remote parts of the planet, there are clear signs E __________.
Last year the Nenets arrived at a regular summer camping spot and discovered
that half of their lake had disappeared. The water had drained away after a
landslide. The Nenets report other curious changes – there are fewer
mosquitoes and a strange increase in flies. Scientists
say there is unmistakable evidence F __________.

Entering the
English language in the late nineteenth century, the word safari meant
a trip to Africa for a big-game hunt. Today the term refers to
a trip taken not to hunt, but to observe and photograph the animals and
other wildlife. This activity had become so popular that it has
originated a certain style of fashion. It includes khaki clothing, belted
bush jackets, helmets and animal skin prints, like leopard's skin, for
example.

The purpose
of ecological tourism is to educate the traveler, provide funds for
conservation and promote respect for different cultures and human rights.
The participants of ecotourism want the environment to stay relatively
untouched by human intervention, so that coming generations can
experience it fully. That is why ecotourism appeals to ecologically and
socially conscious individuals, who don’t mind volunteering.

C.
|
People who
like seeing dangerous places, such as mountains, jungles and deserts,
participating in dangerous events, and experiencing extreme sport
definitely appreciate extreme tourism or shock tourism. This type of
tourism is based on two key factors. The first one is an addiction to
adrenaline caused by an element of risk. And another one is the
opportunity to show a high degree of engagement and professionalism.
|
D.
|
Culinary
tourism is something you can enjoy if you like good food and want each of
your dishes to be a unique and memorable experience. But culinary tourism
also considers food to be a vital component of traditions and history of
any country, region or city. The tourists believe that by experiencing
each other’s foods people can learn something new about each other’s
lives.
|
E.
|
Space
tourism used to mean ordinary members of the public buying tickets to
travel to space and back. That is why many people find this idea
revolutionary. But over the past few years a growing volume of work has
been done on the subject, and it's clear that commercial space tourism is
a realistic target for business today. Market research has shown that
many people in the developed countries would like to take a trip to space
if it were possible.

F.

The sports
tourism industry has earned an international reputation because it is
open to everyone: amateurs, fans, and professional athletes with their
trainers and coaches who come for a range of activities from training
camps through friendship games to international championship
competitions. Sport tourism combines the opportunity for athletes and
sportspeople to benefit from sports activities with a relaxing and
enjoyable vacation.

To go to Tunisia
to explore the place where the film Star Wars was made
or to New Zealand after The Lord of the Rings is very
easy for those who practice pop-culture tourism and like to travel to
locations featured in literature, films, music, or any other form of
popular entertainment. But pop-culture tourism is not only about going to
popular destinations. In some respects it is very similar to a
pilgrimage, only the places are new, for example Elvis Presley's
Graceland.

and
its
social
implications
The
world’s population is about to reach a landmark of huge social and
economic importance, when the proportion of the global population over
65 outnumbers children under 5 for the first time. A new report by the
US census bureau shows A __________, with enormous
consequences for both rich and poor nations.
The rate
of growth will shoot up in the next couple of years. B __________
a combination of the high birth rates after the Second World War and
more recent improvements in health that are bringing down death rates
at older ages. Separate UN forecasts predict that the global population
will be more than nine billion by 2050.
The US
census bureau was the first to sound C __________. Its
latest forecasts warn governments and international bodies that this
change in population structure will bring widespread challenges at
every level of human organization, starting with the structure of the
family, which will be transformed as people live longer. This will in
turn place new burdens on careers and social services providers, D __________ for
health services and pensions systems.
“People
are living longer and, in some parts of the world, healthier lives,”
the authors conclude. “This represents one of the greatest achievements
of the last century but also a significant challenge E __________ population.”
Ageing
will put pressure on societies at all levels. One way of measuring that
is to look at the older dependency ratio, F __________ that
must be supported by them. The ODR is the number of people aged 65 and
over for every 100 people aged 20 to 64. It varies widely, from just
six in Kenya to 33 in Italy and Japan. The UK has an ODR of

Charles
Darwin’s five-year voyage on H.M.S. Beagle has become legendary and
greatly influenced his masterwork, the book, On the Origin
of Species. Darwin didn’t actually formulate his
theory of evolution while sailing around the world aboard the Royal

challenged his thinking and led him to consider scientific evidence

The
19th century was a remarkable time for exploration. Vast portions

free them from slavery.

Pasteur's various investigations convinced him of the rightness of

cholera, TB and smallpox – and their prevention by
vaccination.

eclipses. From observatories, like the one at Chichen Itza,
they tracked the progress of the war star, Mars.

Number

teenagers

Saturday

drops
The
number of teenagers with Saturday jobs has dropped. Young people do not
acquire any experience for their CVs – a crucial step towards
getting full-time work. The proportion of teenagers combining part-time
jobs with school or college has slumped from 40% in the 1990s to around
20% now, according to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills
(UKCES), a government agency. Latest figures show that only A__________

The trend is not just recession-related, but the result of an increasing
expectation B__________ well as a falling number of
Saturday jobs, according to the report. Many of the jobs that young
people do, such as bar work, are in long-term decline, and are forecast
to decline further over the next decade.
"Recruiters place significant emphasis on experience … C__________,"
the report says. Word of mouth is the most common way to get a
job, D__________ young people are unable to build up
informal contacts, it adds.
Ms. Todd, a commissioner at the UKCES, said: "There's more
emphasis on doing well at school, young people are finding less time to
do what they would have done a few years ago. "I think it's also
the changing structure of the labour market. Retail is still a big
employer, E__________. As a consequence, we need to think
about how we get young people the work experience they need."
A new initiative to send employees into state schools to talk about
their careers was also launched recently. The scheme, Inspiring the

Soccer
tourism has been around for a few decades but back in the 1980s it
was seen (and probably actually was to some extent) as a form of
“hooliganism.” Nowadays, soccer tourism is considered one of the
most profitable forms of tourism. It usually involves individuals

Many
people may have a problem understanding the difference between
culinary tourism and ordinary tourism since tasting as many local
dishes as possible is a must for the average tourist. But there are

seems to be the equivalent of having cocktails and partying in
everyday tourism so there are a few differences after all.

If
you’re a European citizen over 25 then there’s a good chance you
remember this term, which in reality was politically motivated. The
phrase “benefit tourism” was invented in the 1990s. It was
later used for the perceived threat that a huge number of citizens
from the new, poorer nations who were given membership in the EU
would move to the richer states such as France or Sweden to benefit
from their social welfare systems rather than work.

Tolkien
tourism has become a growing trend thanks to the huge success of
the “Lord of the Rings” books and films. It has expanded and
diversified to such an extent that now it offers enough places to
visit so that even the most detailed curiosity of the most
demanding Tolkien fan is sure to be satisfied. That makes New

films were shot.

The
name “shark tourism” says it all, and you probably can’t get a

is actually a subgenre of another type of
tourism – eco-tourism. It attracts all these people who
love sharks and their bloody jaws. Anything related to the Great
White shark (and other) is what’s on offer. Experienced divers and
protective cages are must-haves for this adventurous kind of
tourism.

tourism is a type of tourism that appeared after the beginning of
the Atomic Era. Curious tourists fascinated with the Atomic Era can
visit places important to the history of the Atomic Age where
significant incidents related to atomic power happened. There are
museums that specialize in atomic weapons, but naturally the most
visited sites are the actual places where atomic bombs were dropped
or detonated.

A
fascination with ghosts drives some people to travel in search of
the paranormal. Behind many famous landmarks is a great ghost story
and indeed, popular tours in places like Dublin, Florida, Quebec City
and Brisbane explore historic, “haunted” city quarters. Locations
of “ghost tourism” include proverbial ghost towns across America,
Canada and Australia as well as notorious places like Jonestown,
Guyana, and parts of Transylvania.

A.
|
New
Zealand is made up of three main islands as well as many other
smaller islands. The main islands of New Zealand are, as their
names suggest, the North and South Islands. Stewart Island is the
third, much smaller island, located at the far bottom of the South
Island. The South Island is larger than the North, however it is
less densely populated. Here you will find vast alpine ranges, wide
flat plains and cascading glaciers. Christchurch is the largest
city in the South Island.
|
B.
|
The
islands of New Zealand lie between 37 and 47 degrees south of the
Tropic of Capricorn, in the Southern Hemisphere of the world. New
Zealand enjoys a moderate, maritime weather and temperatures. The
North Island is warmer than the South Island, with sub-tropical
weather in the far north of the North Island. The warmest months in
New Zealand are December, January and February (summer), and the
coldest are June, July and August (winter).
|
C.
|
New
Zealand has an unlimited range of tourist attractions and
activities, located throughout the country. Whether you are looking
for adrenaline-pumping adventure, or a relaxing game of golf, there
is an activity or attraction to suit everyone’s tastes, age,
culture and budget. Attractions and activities in New Zealand
include bungy jumping, sky diving, glacial hiking, horse trekking,
health and beauty relaxation treatments, scenic flights, fishing
and so much more.
|
D.
|
The
Maori are believed to be the native people of New Zealand,
immigrating here from Polynesia on canoes around 800 AD. These
Polynesian people settled in New Zealand and became known as the
Maori. They formed their own unique culture, language and
traditions. Land wars broke out with the arrival of the European
settlers. In 1840, several Maori Chiefs signed the Treaty of
Waitangi which gave the British monarchy control over parts of New
Zealand.
|
E.
|
New
Zealand has a reputation as a provider of excellent study
opportunities and support services in a safe learning environment.
It is fast becoming a popular choice for international students.
Academic, profession and vocation studies are offered at
universities, polytechnics, colleges, secondary schools and private
training establishments. A number of English Language Institutes
and private English Language Schools are also throughout the
country.
|
F.
|
For
many tourists travelling to New Zealand will include a long haul
flight and at least 1 stop en-route. Depending on the length of
your flight you can either split the journey up and include a “stop
over” staying one night or more in another country on the way or
just travel straight through only stopping for a few hours at an
airport before departing again. The choice of “stop over” countries
will depend on what country you are travelling from and the company
you are flying with.
|
G.
|
While
the land masses of the North Island and South Island are similar,
approximately two thirds of the country’s people live in the North
Island and the remainder in the South Island. The majority of New
Zealand’s inhabitants is of European decent while Auckland, the
largest city in New Zealand, is the most ethnically diverse in the
country and has the largest number of Polynesians of any city in
the world.

Poohsticks
is a sport first mentioned in “The House at Pooh Corner”, a Winnie-the-Pooh
book by A. A. Milne. It is a simple sport which may be played on
any bridge over running water. Each player drops a stick on the
upstream side of a bridge and the one whose stick first appears on
the downstream side is the winner. The annual World Poohsticks
Championships have been held at Day’s Lock on the River Thames in
the UK since 1984.

Chess
boxing is a hybrid sport that consists of chess and boxing in
alternating rounds. The sport was invented by French artist and
filmmaker Enki Bilal in his comic book “Froid Equateur” in 1992.
The first real event of chess-boxing was organized by Dutch artist
Iepe Rubingh in 2003. Chess boxing is a fast growing sport. The
sport alternates between games of boxing and chess after each round
– waiting for a checkmate or knockout to decide the match.

In
heliskiing people pay a large sum of money to get helicoptered to a
remote snow-covered area only to ski down the white slope. These
skiers spend hundreds of dollars to ski down a natural landscape
unlike the artificial slopes of a ski-resort. Most obviously, the
natural environment involves greater risks and discomfort. Even the
journey into the interior part of a mountainous area has often been
life-threatening in the past.
|
D.
|
Cheese
rolling is something that has been around for over 200 years and is
still practiced today. During the Spring Bank Holiday in England,
people gather at the top of Coopers Hill and prepare for something
very exciting. At the top of the hill, a judge rolls a round of
cheese down the slope and the participants follow. People try to
run down the slope but often end up rolling down like the cheese.
The winner of the race wins the round of cheese as well as a few
bruises and scars.
|
E.
|
It’s
possible that extreme sports became trendy in the late 20th century
as a reaction to the greater safety of modern life. Lacking a feeling
of danger in their everyday activities, people wanted more
excitement or risk. Another reason is improved sports technology.
For example, the invention of sticky rubber-soled climbing shoes
and artificial climbing walls increased the appeal of rock
climbing. And advances in ski design allowed more skiers to try
extreme feats.
|
F.
|
Extreme
Ironing is an extreme sport and a performance art. People who play
this unusual sport go to a remote location and iron clothes! They
call themselves “ironists”, and get a thrill from taking their
ironing board, unplugged iron and some of their clothes to some
extreme places and photograph themselves doing it. Such places that
they have reached include extreme altitude, underwater, hanging
from cliffs, and on top of vehicles.

Approximately
65 thousand people in the United States alone do not know how to
swim. Many of them learned as young children but never go to a
pool, lake, river, or ocean anymore and have forgotten how to swim
over the years. Others were never taught and continue to avoid the
activity altogether. It was once thought that knowing how to swim
was important for safety reasons, but now it is pretty much left up
to the individual.

Peter and
Paul
Fortress
The Peter
and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg, located on small Hare Island, is
the historic core of the city. The history of St. Petersburg begins
with the history of the fortress.
Since 1700
Russia had been fighting the Northern War against Sweden. By 1703 the
lands by the Neva River were conquered. To protect them from the
attacks of the Swedes it was necessary to build a strong outpost here.

of Peter I and French engineer Joseph-Gaspard Lambert de Guerin. This
day is well known A__________.
The
fortress stretches from west to east with six bastions B__________.
The Peter’s Gate on the east side, C__________, has
remained since the time of Peter I. The Peter and Paul Cathedral, D__________ emperors
and the monument of Russian baroque, was completed after the death of
the emperor, in 1733. The weathervane as a golden angel with a
cross, E__________, is one of the main symbols of the city.
On the opposite side of the cathedral, there is the Mint building,
constructed in the time of Paul I by architect A. Porto. Coinage was
moved to the fortress F__________ in the time of Peter I.
The Peter and Paul Fortress has never directly participated in any
fighting. From the very beginning of its existence it was used as a

to understand that being scared is just an illusion that makes you

Not for everybody
|
|
|
A.
|
Thanks
to technology innovation, distance learning has always involved
more than reading texts and writing essays or assignments. Virtual
microscopes, interactive laboratories and online collaborations
have taken the place of home experiment kits sent by post, while
late night TV programmes have been replaced by DVDs and online
interactive videos. Distance teaching universities can nowadays
choose from many methods to support learning.
|
B.
|
The
delivery method of distance learning programmes varies. Although
many courses are taught entirely online, some schools also give
students an opportunity to meet face-to-face with tutors and
classmates several times a year. In other situations, students will
do all their work online and are only required to attend specific
locations for exams. Others may attend weekly lectures in addition
to completing work online. This
combined system is known as blended learning.
|
C.
|
Employers
can be especially impressed by people who have studied for a
distance learning qualification. The CEO of a large international
consulting firm recently commented that he would value more
favourably a graduate from a distance learning MBA who had achieved
the same results as a graduate from similar on-campus programme
because it takes more commitment, enthusiasm, time and energy from
the student to achieve this result.
|
D.
|
Distance
learning requires self-discipline and determination and would not
suit someone with no motivation to study on his or her own, who
needs the structure of a traditional learning environment, or with
simply no time for studying. Although it is possible to still have
time for family and professional commitments while attending a
distance education school, it does not mean there will be less work
than at residential school.
|
E.
|
The
length of online university courses varies depending on whether
you’ll be studying full- or part-time, the level of the
qualification, and the subject of study. For the majority of
full-time undergraduate programmes, the timeframe is similar to a
traditional bachelor’s course of three or four years. For part-time
courses, your studies may take additional two or three years. Most
online university courses will give a specific time period within
which students must complete their studies.
|
F.
|
One
of the leading providers of online education in the UK is the Open
University. Fees at the Open University vary depending on whether
you study part-time or full-time, but the average cost for
full-time is ?5,264 annually for three years. This is approximately
?3,700 less per year than enrolling at a campus-based UK university
as a home student, and considerably less than the amount
international students would pay to study in the UK.
|
G.
|
In
the last few years another type of online education has
appeared – MOOCs (massive open online courses). These are
free online education programmes that anyone can sign up to,
typically offered by well-known universities. They now cover a wide
range of subjects. As MOOCs are free and open to all with access to
the internet, they are useful for people of all ages and
professional backgrounds who are keen to learn a new skill or gain
information about a particular subject.
