Введение
На сегодняшний день подготовка будущих выпускников к успешной сдаче выбранных ими экзаменов – одна из приоритетных целей для учителей-предметников независимо от предмета.
В некоторых учебных заведениях такая подготовка начинается уже в восьмом классе. При этом очень важно понимать и то, что готовить учащихся нужно на основе пройденного материала, а не на основе пособий по подготовке к ОГЭ, рассчитанных на выпускников 9-х классов.
Именно с этой целью и было создано данное пособие. Оно стало результатом обработки материала, предложенного авторами учебника Spotlight 8 Ю.У.Ваулиной и О.Е.Подоляко. В своем дополнительном пособии “Тренировочные упражнения в формате ОГЭ (ГИА)”, которое входит в комплект УМК к данному учебнику, авторы предложили ряд самых разных упражнений экзаменационного формата для закрепления пройденного после каждого модуля материала.
Пособие, составленное на основе сборника Ю.У.Ваулиной и О.Е.Подоляко “Тренировочные упражнения в формате ОГЭ (ГИА)”, предлагает поработать с будущими выпускниками (восьмиклассниками) уже сейчас в формате ОГЭ.
Оно включает в себя 21 рабочий вариант. Структура каждого варианта напоминает структуру экзаменационного КИМа, но имеет некоторые особенности, о которых следует рассказать немного подробнее.
В предложенных вариантах структура та же: аудирование, чтение, лексико-грамматическая часть и письмо. Но, в отличие от экзаменационного варианта, предложенный в данном пособии вариант не соблюдает точное количество баллов по всем разделам письменной части экзамена. В экзаменационном варианте схема разбалловки на каждый раздел следующая:
|
Аудирование |
Чтение |
Лексика, грамматика |
Письмо |
|
15 |
15 |
15 |
10 |
В общем итоге получается, что максимальный балл за письменную часть у учащихся, сдающих ОГЭ по английскому языку, составляет 55. В предлагаемом пособии эта цифра существенно отличается. Баллов может оказаться гораздо больше за счет больших по объему упражнений в лексико-грамматической части варианта. Но не это является важным для автора данного пособия при подготовке учащихся восьмых классов к сдаче будущего экзамена. Самое главное – познакомить учащихся с самим форматом заданий и в дальнейшем научить их работать с ними на том уровне, на котором они находятся в данный момент. Но если для кого-то из учителей английского языка принципиально важно посмотреть, какое количество баллов могут набрать их дети уже на данном этапе, то можно делать следующим образом: отсчитать в каждом из разделов варианта по 15 первых пунктов и на их основе составить общую картину успеха или неудачи ребенка, не беря в расчет остальные пункты.
Упражнения, взятые из “Тренировочных упражнений в формате ОГЭ (ГИА)” хороши тем, что позволяют готовить учащихся на основе пройденного материала учебника по всем разделам экзамена.
Более того, задания к разделам “Аудирование” и “Письмо” были взяты автором данного пособия с официального образовательного сайта www.fipi.ru. На это были определенные причины. Во-первых, авторы пособия “Тренировочные упражнения в формате ОГЭ (ГИА)” не включили в него раздел “Аудирование”. Без него результат выполненного варианта ОГЭ уже не является целостным показателем того, насколько успешно справляются учащиеся с подготовкой к сдаче данного предмета. Что касается заданий раздела “Письмо”, то они не были использованы из названного выше авторского пособия, потому что их намного меньше по количеству. К тому же не все задания раздела “Письмо” соответствуют формату личного письма. Но они вынесены в отдельный раздел в конце данного пособия и могут быть проработаны в индивидуальном порядке по желанию учителя.
В этом сборнике вариантов в конце включены ответы ко всем вариантам для экономии времени учителя при проверке выполненных заданий.
В отдельной папке собраны звуковые файлы для выполнения части “Аудирование”.
Сборником легко пользоваться и при самостоятельной работе. Задания по чтению и лексико-грамматическому аспекту построены в соответствии с модулями учебника “Английский в фокусе” для 8 класса, т.е. основаны на изучаемом в модулях лексическом и грамматическом материале. Даже если вы учитесь в школе по другим УМК, то также можете использовать это пособие. Задания сборника включают темы, единые для всех российских школ в соответствии с программами и новыми стандартами образования.
Успехов вам с “Английским в фокусе”!

1. Read the texts. Match the titles to the book reviews. One title is extra.
1. WHY MOSQUITOES BUZZ IN PEOPLE’S EARS
2. THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL
3. SADAKO AND A THOUSAND PAPER CRANES
4. THE BUTTER BATTLE BOOK
5. THE GREAT PEACE MARCH
6. THE BIG BOOK FOR PEACE
A. The Yooks and the Zooks live in neighboring communities divided by a wall and by a custom. The Yooks eat their bread with the butter side up and the Zooks eat their bread with the butter side down! This difference causes dislike, distrust, and finally hatred. With classic simplicity and wonderfully creative language, characters, and illustrations, Dr Seuss explains how small differences can grow into larger disagreements that, in turn, can escalate into potential destruction. This book makes its point clearly for all ages, and all ages will respond to its message and its cleverness.
B. The book addresses the many kinds of peace needed in today’s world, as described on its jacket: “Peace among people living in different lands but also among next-door neighbours. Harmony among people of different races - and among sisters and brothers. Understanding among those separated by their beliefs - and those separated by generations.” The book stresses the give and take of friendship, the avoidance of misunderstandings between individuals and groups, and peaceful avenues to bring about social change.
C. A “little lie” becomes a rumor that leads to panic, which results in accidental death and has shattering consequences for the whole earth. The animals in this jungle parable (притча) are called to a meeting, where each has a turn to explain his or her actions. By the end, it becomes clear that no one meant harm because the animals have the opportunity to hear different perspectives. But the mosquito who began the whole chain of events, hides from the meeting and never presents his case. His guilty conscience leads to his own punishment.
D. The 12-year-old Japanese girl became a heroine to children in Japan and throughout the world for her spirited fight against leukemia caused by atomic radiation after the bombing of Hiroshima. This story emphasizes her spirit and courage as she tried to fold a thousand paper cranes (журавли) in the belief that this would bring her health. When the girl died before she could finish the task, the children in her class finished it for her. Making cranes has become an annual ritual throughout Japan and internationally, in order to remember the human cost of war and to stress the need for peace.
E. This remarkable work by a young teenage Jewish girl, written while hiding in Amsterdam from the occupying Nazi army, has had a dramatic effect since its first printing. The fact that we know that she died in a concentration camp makes this beautifully written, optimistic, and humanist work even more emotionally stirring. The Holocaust of World War II, as well as the millions of deaths caused by wars since then, provides the reason for students to solve the problem of violence. A Picture Book by Anne Frank helps the students understand why Anne was hiding, and what happened to her and millions, like her, once her family was captured.

Social Etiquette in the UK
There are no strict etiquette rules that you have to stick to when in the UK. It is advisable, however, to demonstrate decent manners and respect to the local culture and traditions. The first, and most important step is to be aware of the clearly distinct nations which form the UK. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The citizens of any of these countries may be referred to as “British”. When certain of heritage, you are free to call the different residents as follows: English, Scot, Welsh or Irish.
When first meeting a Brit, he or she may seem reserved and cold, but that is just an impression. In reality, they are very friendly and helpful to foreigners.
A handshake is the most common form of greeting, but try to avoid prolonged eye contact, as it may make people feel ill at ease. British people are not very keen on displaying affection in public. Hugging, kissing and touching are usually reserved for family members and very close friends. You should also avoid talking loudly in public or going to extremes with hand gestures during the course of communication. Do not stand too close to another person or put your arm around someone’s shoulder.
The British often use expressions such as “drop in anytime” and “come see me soon”. However, do not take these literally. To be on the safe side, always telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should respond to the sender as soon as possible, whether you are going to attend or not.
British people are very strict when it comes to punctuality. In Britain people make a great effort to arrive on time, so it is considered impolite to be late, even by few minutes. If you are delayed, be sure to inform the person you are meeting.
1. Before going to the UK you should learn the customs
and traditions of the four countries it consists of. _____
2. Any citizen of the UK can be called a ‘Brit’. _____
3. Great Britain includes England, Wales, Scotland
and Northern Ireland. _____
4. Hugging is a typical way to greet foreigners in the UK. _____
5. It is a false impression that the British are unfriendly

6. For successful communication in the UK you should
learn a special body language. _____
7. The British like some personal space during
the course of communication. _____
8. When introduced to foreigners the British usually
look at the new person for a long time. _____
9. After you are introduced to a British person you can
call on him/her any time. _____
10. The British are very punctual people and expect
others to be the same. _____

Five Steps for Resolving Conflicts
Conflicts can actually lead to increased understanding and creative thinking. It’s how we deal with conflict that determines the outcome. Beyond that, conflict resolution skills can improve relationships and deepen understanding.
Step 1:
Conflicts can’t be solved in the face of hot emotions. Take a step back, breathe deep, and gain some emotional distance before trying to talk things out.
Take a moment to think of ten things that make you feel better when you’re hot under the collar. Consider some of the following: breathing deeply while making a calm statement, looking at the sky, clearing your desk, splashing cold water on the face or taking a quick walk.
Step 2:
By starting our sentences with “I” we take responsibility for the way we perceive the problem, “I-messages” are a tool for expressing how we feel without attacking or blaming.
This is in sharp contrast to “you-messages” which put others on the defensive and close doors to communication. A statement like ‘You’ve left the kitchen a mess again! Can’t you ever clean up after yourself?” will escalate the conflict. Now take a look at how differently an “I-message” comes across: “I’m annoyed because I thought we agreed you’d clean up the kitchen after using it. What happened?”
Step 3:
In the majority of conflicts, both parties have some degree of responsibility. However, most of us try to blame rather than look at our own role in the problem. When we take responsibility we shift the conflict into an entirely different gear, one where resolution is possible.
Step 4:
Resolving conflicts is a creative act. There are many solutions to a single problem. The key is a willingness to look for compromises. Kindergarten teacher Connie Long describes how her students started having fewer conflicts when they learned how to brainstorm solutions: “My kids were constantly getting into arguments over crayons, erasers, toys. After introducing peacemaking my students started finding ways to solve the problem instead of just getting stuck in their own positions.”
Step 5:
A handshake, hug, or a kind word gives closure to the conflicts. Forgiveness is the highest form of closure. Just saying thank you at the end of a conflict, or praising the person for working things out sends a message of conciliation (примирение) and gratitude. We preserve our relationships this way, strengthening our connections and working through.

2. Read the text and mark the statements True (T), False (F), Not Stated (NS).
Etiquette is protocol, rules of behaviour that you memorise. Manners demonstrate socially acceptable behaviour, of course, but also much more than that. They are an expression of how you treat others when you care about them, their self-esteem (самоуважение), and their feelings.
Early North American etiquette books claimed that the manners and customs of the “Best Society” could be imitated by all. But some authors stated that the lower classes, meaning those “whose experience in life has been a hardening process,” in fact, treated the rules of etiquette with “contempt and ... a sneer.” Modern etiquette books do not use the concept of “best society”, but rather define etiquette as a set of guidelines that “help steer our behaviour as we move through our daily routines” and that can help deal with “the pressures of modern life which make it all the more difficult to stay civil.” This change is reflected in the content of etiquette books; etiquette books published in the early 20th century had detailed advice on the treatment of servants, the formal dinner parties, and the behavior of a debutante; more modern books are likely to emphasise the importance of respecting people of all classes, races, and ethnic backgrounds. Etiquette writers are sure that etiquette rules serve to make life more pleasant.

3. A THREE-YEAR-OLD BOY ALWAYS DISOBEYS HIS OTHER

5. THE TEEN SPENDS ALL HIS TIME ONLINE FORGETTING ABOUT HIS HOMEWORK
6. THE TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY CAN’T COPE WITH HIS SMALL BROTHER
Subliminal Perception (Подсознательное восприятие)
A. Ronnie and Jamie both grabbed the yellow truck; the teacher took them aside and asked if they could come up with five ways to solve the problem. They thought about it and then suggested taking turns, sharing, getting another truck from the toy chest, doing a different activity, and building a truck together out of Legos. This is the kind of thinking the teacher is seeing more and more. Brainstorming has opened her children’s mind to new possibilities.
B. At the sound of his angry voice, I usually responded defensively, and then we were on our way to an ugly confrontation. But this time I walked away for a few minutes, took some deep breaths, and when I walked back into the room I was able to hear him out. Bill told me that he was so frustrated at having to wait for me whenever we went out. He also spoke about punctuality as something he highly valued. I suddenly realised he was right. It was then that I apologised. My husband ended up giving me a hug and thanking me.
C. The boy started cutting off the ribbons on the helium balloons. His brother was furious! Instead of going after the little one, the boy went upstairs, cooled off, and came back when he felt calmer. He gave him an “I-message”: “I’m really upset about what you did to my balloons. You wouldn’t like it if I did that to something of yours!” He said it in such a respectful way that his brother was shocked. He said, “I’m really sorry. Would you help me fix them?”
D. In the past, the fiery look in my son’s eyes would put me right over the edge. It would lead to a screaming quarrel, marking the beginning of a very bad day. Now I breathe deeply, make a calming statement, and remind myself not to yell. I use “I-messages” too. “You-messages” tend to make him angry. For example, if he refuses to dress I might say, “I’ll put your clothes right here. As soon as you’re dressed you can have breakfast with us.” It’s working.
E. The mother: ‘You’re so selfish! If you don’t turn it off now, I’ll rip it out of your hands.” Jenny: ‘You don’t want me to have friends. I hate you!” When parents fight with kids, behavior can go from bad to worse. Each fight damages good feelings and makes the next fight more likely. Parents shouldn’t use negative labels, e.g. selfish, lazy, irresponsible. Decide ahead what the rules are, e.g. ‘No cell phone at dinner’. Speak in a quiet, low-pitched voice. Stop the behaviour before things get worse. After the first warning, Mom should take the cell phone away. Leave the room when tempers rise.

Christmas Tree Memories My name is Ted. I grew up in the 50s, but my childhood memories are still alive. The most pleasant of them is the family Christmas tree. Besides my mum and dad, there were five children in the family. We all took part in decorating the Christmas tree, one way or another. It was a special time for me as dad took us for a trip to the winter forest. The experience was special as only boys were allowed to go to the countryside to pick out the tree. At the age of five I felt proud to be in a man’s adventure. I remember walking through the forest with dad looking for the perfect, large tree. We had a tall ceiling in the living room, so a small tree did not look right there. At the age of five, even a small tree seemed great to me. To measure a tree I raised my hands above my head and looked up. If I could reach the top of the tree I thought it was big enough. Dad, however, always chose the perfect tree very carefully. Once he had made his choice, he took out an axe to cut down the tree. I wanted to help my dad and brothers, but they always told me to stand back. When the cutting began, I tried to hold the tree up. I was afraid the tree would fall on them and I felt strong enough to hold it. After the tree was down we took it to the car and went back home. I don’t remember how we got that large tree through the door, but it was always right. Then dad got the tree to stand up and we could start the decorating. The tree, the boxes with decorations and a tall ladder took up the whole room. All the family took part as mum gave everyone a task. I had to pass the decorations. What I liked best about the Christmas tree were the lights. When everybody else had left I stayed in the room and watched the lights travelling up and down the Christmas tree. Dad had one more special job that day. Mum took her favourite ornament, a lighted angel, which she had got as a present from her family. Dad climbed up the ladder and fixed the angel at the top of the Christmas tree. When I looked at the angel, I thought Santa was close to my house. Everyone, and the decorated shining tree, was ready to celebrate Christmas. It was so big that it nearly touched the ceiling. I felt I was a small part of a big adventure. The last few years we lived in that house the trips to the forest with dad ceased. We bought an artificial tree instead.

2. SPICES AND HERBS MAKE THE DISH
3. FOR MEAT LOVERS
4. MANDI AS AWAY OF COOKING MEAT
5. A PINCH OF PEPPER
6. MULTINATIONAL DISH
A. Beef bulgogi (fire meat) is a dish of thinly sliced meat marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, onions, ginger, sugar, and wine and then grilled. It is often eaten wrapped in lettuce or spinach leaves and accompanied by kimchi (fermented vegetable pickle). Many Korean restaurants have miniature barbecues embedded in tables where diners grill the meat themselves.
B. In this episode of cooking video series, Chef David Kamen demonstrates a recipe for Doro Wett (chicken stew). This classic dish, popular in both Ethiopian homes and restaurants, is full of the spices that give Ethiopian cooking its characteristic rich flavour. In fact, spices are so important to Ethiopian cuisine and culture that a common insult in Ethiopia is ‘Ya wen alecha, ’ which means a person ‘has no pepper’.
C. Lumpia is Filipino spring rolls that are popular both in their native country and in Filipino communities around the world. Lumpia can be served as an appetiser, a snack, or a light meal with rice alongside. There’s even a movie called Lumpia, made by a Filipino-American director. The film captures the culture of California Filipino-American teens: an avenging hero armed with fried lumpia as his weapons fights off bullies.
D. Nasi Goreng is a mixture of rice, chicken, shrimp, and seasonings. This dish demonstrates the complex heritage of the Indonesian islands, which have been colonized by many different countries. Rice, the main ingredient, was introduced by sailors from India. The technique of stirfrying came from the Chinese, who explored the islands in the fourth century. Chiles were brought by the Portuguese and the accompaniment of hard-boiled eggs is a legacy of Dutch traders from the colonial era.
E. Nasi lemak is a Malay word that literally means ‘fatty rice’. The name comes from the cooking process whereby rice is soaked in coconut cream and then the mixture is steamed. Spices such as ginger and herbs like lemon grass may be added for additional fragrance. Traditionally, this comes wrapped in banana leaf, with cucumber slices, small dried anchovies, roasted peanuts, hard boiled egg and hot spicy sauce.

History of the Rouble
The rouble (or ruble) has been the currency in Russia for 500 years. The name ‘rouble’ is thought to come from the Russian for ‘chop’, literally referring to the way a section was cut off a silver ingot (слиток), each section had a different value according to its weight.
Since December 2013 the official symbol for the Ruble is now P, the Cyrillic letter P with a single added horizontal stroke, though the abbreviation ‘руб’ is in wide use.
In 1710 the rouble was first divided into kopeks, 100 of which made up a rouble. Ten roubles are sometimes referred to as chervonets. Historically, it was the name for the first Russian three-rouble gold coin issued for general circulation in 1701. The current meaning comes from the Soviet golden chervonets issued in 1923. All these names are no longer in use, however.
In the 18th century half a kopek or a single kopek were made from copper, while five kopeks up to 50 kopeks and one rouble coins were made fromsilver. Five rouble coins were originally made from gold.
After the Russian civil war, silver was used for lower value coins with gold chervonets minted in 1923. In 1961 new materials such as aluminium and bronze were introduced, along with nickel and zinc.
Between 1769 and 1917 there were only Imperial issued bank notes, or assignats. After 1917 the provisional government issued bank notes, called kerenki. Soon after, in 1918 state credit notes were issued, followed by currency notes the following year.
1. Russian rouble has a long history. _____
2. Several centuries ago one of the tsars introduced rouble
as Russian currency. _____
3. In old times only merchants used roubles. _____
4. The symbol of the rouble is double “P”. _____
5. In the 18th century rouble was divided into kopeks. _____
6. The names are still used when shopping. _____
7. Gold, silver and bronze are used to make coins nowadays. _____
8. Banknotes appeared in the Soviet period for the first time. _____

1. PIONEER IN SUBLIMINAL RESEARCH
2. MAKING SHOPPERS BUY MORE
3. BRAINWASHED BY MUSIC
4. SUBCONSCIOUS INFLUENCE ON THE BRAIN
5. SUBLIMINAL TECHNIQUES MANIPULATING THE BEHAVIOUR
Subliminal Perception (подсознательное восприятие)
A. Subliminal perception is a process created by communication technicians. It means that you receive and respond to information and instructions without knowing it. Messages in the form of printed words, pictures or voices are presented very fast so they bypass your consciousness (сознание). Anything that you take in consciously (сознательно) can be evaluated, criticised, discussed, argued, and possibly rejected. Subliminal messages meet no resistance. The subliminal information is stored in your brain and can influence your views, behaviour and attitudes.
B. Subliminal techniques in print media have been used in the United States since the World War I. On June 22, 1956, the British Broadcasting Corporation experimented with subliminal images on television. Pictures were shown on the screen too quickly to be seen consciously, but they made an impression on the subconscious. In 1958, radio station Seattle’s KOL broadcast hardly audible messages “below” the music played by its disc jockeys. “How about a cup of coffee?” was one, and “Someone’s at the door” was the other.
C. Subliminal messages are prepared by teams of psychologists who change the thinking patterns and behaviour of the listener or viewer. Numerous scientific researches proved that subliminal messaging works. When advertising industry and government agencies understood the potential of subliminal messaging they started investing millions in developing and perfecting subliminal techniques, which can be used not only for marketing, but also for propaganda and mind control. For example, supermarkets across the country are reducing theft from 50 to 30 per cent by broadcasting subliminal messages such as “I will not steal” and “We are watching you”.
D. Traditional advertising and subliminal messaging have more in common than most people think. Effective advertising requires repetition, so that the consumer remembers a brand name when he goes to the shop. Subliminal messages are as effective as advertising. The most known experiment with subliminal messaging was conducted by a marketing researcher and psychologist James Vicary in 1957 during the presentation of the movie Picnic. Every 5 seconds the words “Hungry? Eat popcorn. Drink Coca Cola" were projected for 0.003 seconds. That is extremely fast. So companies can use tactics that affect the psyche to improve sales.

GUM
Not every store has such a long and rich history as The Upper Trading Stalls, the present GUM in Moscow. The glass roof designed by the famous engineer V. Shukhov makes its architecture unique. Stretching a quarter of a kilometer along the Kremlin wall, GUM encloses Red Square from the East and its architecture suits the Kremlin and the History museum. At the end of the 19th century, the Upper Trading Stalls played a great role; this huge trading passage was responsible for the country’s economic life. Passage in architecture is a type of trading or business building, where shops or offices are located at the sides of the broad aisle with glassy surfaces. That place, where GUM is situated now, was city’s trading center for a long time.
In 1815, a new building of the Upper Trading Stalls following the project of the architect О. I. Bovet was built. The construction was divided between the private owners. No one could persuade them to carry out repairs. The building came to ruin. Only in 1893 the new Upper Trading Stalls were built by A. Pomerantsev. The stalls became the prototype of the modern European trading centers, where people not only traded, but also organised exhibitions and concerts. In May 1891, G. Brokar, being an owner of a rich collection of paintings, rare books and antiques, started exhibiting them in specially rented halls of the Upper Trading Stalls. Since 1985 musical evenings were held in the stalls.
People came to the Upper Trading Stalls not only for shopping. They walked there, spent time watching goods, and had fun. They could sit in a restaurant or cafe, write and send a letter or telegram at the local post office, talk on the phone, resolve financial matters in the bank department, buy tickets to any Moscow theatre, have a rest in the lounge. The stalls organised concerts for visitors, where famous people were invited.
GUM goes on developing. GUM today is not just a leisure center or a store, it is an art space.
1. GUM is a famous store situated close to Red Square. _____
2. The front entrance faces the Kremlin. _____

A. Pasteur once said, “Chance favours the prepared mind.” That’s the genius behind all the accidental inventions - the scientists were prepared. In 1856 William Perkin, an English scientist (1838-1907), was trying to come up with artificial quinine (хинин). Instead of a malaria treatment, his experiments produced a thick dark mess. But the more he looked at it, the more Perkin saw a beautiful colour in his mess. He had made the first synthetic dye. His dye was far better than any dyes that came from nature; the color was brighter and didn’t fade or wash out. His discovery also made his science attractive for a whole generation of curious-minded people. But the story is not over yet. One of the people inspired by Perkin’s work was the German bacteriologist Paul Ehrlich, who used Perkin’s dyes in immunology and chemotherapy.
B. Jonas Salk (1914-1995) was an American research physician who formulated a vaccine against the devastating disease polio. Poliomyelitis, also called infantile paralysis, had crippled thousands of children during an epidemic that hit the world during the 1940’s and 1950’s, it is estimated that one of every 5,000 people (mostly children) fell victim to polio. Some victims were totally paralysed and needed to live in “iron lungs” (a large apparatus that helped the patient breathe). Salk developed his vaccine in 1947, while working at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School. The vaccine was made from killed polio virus. In 1955, after many trials of the new vaccine, the vaccine was made public, and put an end to the polio epidemic. When Salk died, he had been working on a vaccine for the AIDS virus.
C. Among the latest inventions, it is important to mention that scientists at the University of Chicago have found a way to allow magnetic sensors operate at the high temperatures, a really useful invention for ceramic engines in automobiles and aircraft of the future. To construct the sensors, the scientists required the material, named indium antimonide, highly appreciated for its purity. The operation of the majority of magnetic sensors is based on detecting how a magnetic field changes an electron’s path. Commonly used sensors are not able to operate at high temperatures, reaching hundreds of degrees. The indium antimonide magnetosensors are developed to function at such temperatures without any degradation.
D. Luther Burbank, a famous American (1849 - 1926), developed more than 800 varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank’s varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed a spineless cactus useful for cattle-feed. Burbank’s most successful varieties include the Shasta daisy, the Fire poppy, the July Elberta peach, the Santa Rosa plum, the Flaming Gold nectarine, the Wickson plum, the Freestone peach, and the white blackberry. A natural genetic variant of the Burbank potato with russet-colored skin later became known as the Russet Burbank potato. This large, brown-skinned, white-fleshed potato has become the world’s predominant potato in food processing. His over 800 varieties have been used around the world to increase the food supply.
E. Many products have been developed as a result of space exploration and space travel, for example thermal gloves and boots. These gloves and boots have heating elements that run on rechargeable batteries worn on the inside wrist of the gloves or embedded in the sole of the ski boot. This technology was adapted from a spacesuit design for the Apollo astronauts. Lunar gloves and boots were designed for the rigors (суровости) of exploring, and the gloves for adjusting sensitive instruments. They were constructed for thermal and abrasion protection. Silicone rubber was used to give a degree of sensitivity and “feel”.

The Guinness Book of Records
A. Guinness World Records, known until 2000 as The Guinness Book of Records is a reference book published annually, containing a collection of world records, both human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. The Guinness Book of Records was first published on 27 August 1955 and in fifty years it sold more than a hundred million copies.
B. On an unknown date in November 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver (1890-1967) was out shooting. That evening it was realised that it was not possible to confirm in reference books whether or not the golden plover (ржанка) was Europe’s fastest game bird. It occurred to Sir Hugh, managing director of the Guinness Breweries, that there must be numerous other questions debated in Britain and in Ireland, but there was no reference book with which to settle arguments about records. He realised then that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove popular.
C. On 12 September 1954, Sir Hugh invited the twins Norris and Ross McWhirter to see if their agency in London could help. After founding the Guinness Book of Records at 107 Fleet Street, London, the first 197-page edition came out on 27 August 1955 and went to the top of the British bestseller lists by Christmas. The McWhirters continued to publish it for many years. Both brothers had an encyclopedic memory – on the TV series Record Breakers, based upon the book, they were asked questions by children in the audience on various world records and could usually give the correct answer.
D. Recent editions have focused on record feats (подвиги) by human competitors. Competitions range from obvious ones such as weightlifting to the longest egg tossing distance. Besides records about competitions, the book contains such facts as the most poisonous plant, the shortest river, the longest-running drama in the USA, etc. Many records also relate to the youngest person who achieved something.
E. In 2005, Guinness designated 9 November as International Guinness World Records Day to encourage breaking world records. For many records, Guinness World Records is the effective authority on the exact requirements for them. Guinness World Records sells about 3.5 million copies a year in twenty-three languages in a hundred countries.

Thomas Alva Edison
A. Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. He was one of the first inventors who applied the principles of mass production and teamwork to the process of invention. He created the first industrial research laboratory. He had a great number of patents in the USA, the UK, France, and Germany.
B. Thomas Edison was born in Ohio, and grew up in Michigan. He was the seventh child. In school, the young Edison’s mind often wandered, and his teacher called him “addled” (испорченный). This ended Edison’s three months of official schooling. Edison recalled later: “My mother made me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint.” His mother taught him at home. Much of his education came from reading R.G. Parker’s School of Natural Philosophy.
C. Edison developed hearing problems at an early age. The cause of his deafness was scarlet fever during childhood but his story was different: a train conductor struck his ears when his chemical laboratory in a boxcar (товарный вагон) caught fire. Later he used to say the injury had occurred when the conductor, in helping him onto a moving train, lifted him by the ears. However, the injury didn’t keep him from research.
D. His family wasn’t rich. Edison sold candy and newspapers on trains running from Port Huron to Detroit, and sold vegetables. He also studied qualitative analysis, and conducted chemical experiments on the train until an accident made further work of the kind impossible. Edison got the exclusive right to sell newspapers on the road, and, with the aid of four assistants, he set and printed the Grand Trunk Herald, which he sold with his other papers. Thus he discovered his talents as a businessman. These talents eventually led him to found 14 companies, including General Electric, which is still one of the largest companies in the world.
E. The invention that first gained him notice was the phonograph in 1877. This accomplishment was so unexpected it seemed almost magical. After his demonstration of the telegraph, Edison sold it to Western Union that gave him a chance to set up the company Menlo Park with the specific purpose of producing constant technological innovation and improvement. Edison was legally attributed with most of the inventions produced there, though many employees carried out research and development under his direction. His patents included inventions or processes that are electrical, mechanical, or chemical in nature.

A True Magician
While most magicians who do money tricks make coins or bills vanish, Stuart Edge does the opposite. He 'magically' transforms $1 USD bills into $100 USD. The icing on the cake? The lucky participants keep the money, which does not change back to its original value!
It all begins with Edge showing both a $1 USD bill and a $100 USD bill to the person he is playing the trick on. He then places the folded bills inside the person’s hand and asks him or her to make a fist. Edge then ‘magically’ proceeds to pull out the $100 USD bill from the fist, while leaving the dollar bill intact.
Then begins the cool part. Edge explains to the person that the $1 USD and $ 100 USD bills can be switched if he/she really wishes it to. To seal the deal, the magician and the other party bump fists. Then, they both uncurl their fingers and voila! Edge is holding the dollar bill, while his counterpart has the $100 USD!
Like all magic tricks this one too is an illusion - the $100 USD bills are real - part of the $1,000 USD that Edge withdrew from his personal savings account to help people in need. Edge has remained tight-lipped about how the trick works, simply saying “it’s magic.”
In order to make sure that the people who participated really needed the money, Edge spent six hours in his neighbourhood streets to look for people that needed it the most. Among them was a single mother struggling to pay rent, a talented guitar player facing some hard times and, an elderly couple that had lost their home.
Edge asked the person who had just participated in the trick to give back in the future when he or she was able to. Besides being a skillful magician, Edge is also a YouTube star. The video depicting his money trick has gathered almost two million views since it was uploaded a few weeks ago.
Edge hopes that other people will also follow his example and be generous to people in need.

The Invention of the Airplane
A. The inventors of the first airplane were Orville and Wilbur Wright. On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first successful experiment in which a machine carrying a man rose by its own power and flew naturally and at even speed, then landed without damage. Before the first airplane was invented by the Wright Brothers, inventors made numerous attempts to make things like birds and fly. These early inventions included kites, hot air balloons, airships, gliders, and other devices.
B. The Chinese invented the kite that could fly in the air. That made people think about flying. Kites were used by the Chinese in religious ceremonies. Some kites were used to test weather conditions. For many centuries, humans had tried to fly just like birds and had studied the flight of birds. Wings made of feathers or light wood were attached to arms to test their ability to fly. The results were often disastrous as the muscles of the human arms are not like birds’ and cannot move with the strength of a bird.
C. Leonardo da Vinci made the first real studies of flight in the 1480’s. He had over 100 drawings that illustrated his theories on bird and mechanical flight. The drawings illustrated the wings and tails of birds, ideas for man carrying machines, and devices for testing wings. It was only a design that Leonardo da Vinci created to show how man could fly. The modern helicopter is based on this concept.
D. The brothers, Joseph Michel and Jacques Etienne Montgolfier, were inventors of the first hot air balloon. They used the smoke from a fire to blow hot air into a silk bag. The silk bag was attached to a basket. The hot air then rose and allowed the balloon to be lighter-than-air. In 1783, the first passengers in the colorful balloon were a sheep, rooster and duck. It climbed to a height of about 6,000 feet and travelled more than one mile. After this first success, the brothers began to send men up in hot air balloons.
E. Orville and Wilbur Wright were very persistent (настойчивый) in their desire for flight. First, they spent many years learning about all the early developments of flight. The early engine that they used generated almost 12 horsepower.
The “Flyer” lifted from level ground to the north of Big Kill Devil Hill, at 10:35 a.m., on December 17, 1903. Orville piloted the plane which weighed six hundred and five pounds (275 kilograms). Humankind was now able to fly!
1. The inventors of the airplane made
the first flight themselves. _____
2. Before their invention people could fly on a kite. _____
3. The Chinese invented kites first of all for fun. _____
4. When people began to use feathers
for wings they could really fly. _____

Nine Tips to Building Self-Esteem
1. DO SOMETHING THAT SCARES YOU AND SOMETHING YOU ARE GOOD AT
2. SOCIALISE
3. START SMALL
4. SET GOALS
5. IMAGINE THE PERSON YOU’D LIKE TO BE
6. SMILE MORE
In order to build your self-esteem, you must establish yourself as the master of your own life. Every single minute of your life is a moment you can change for the better. Start with the smallest or the most important task. The following are tips to help build higher self-esteem.
A. Start with something you can do immediately and easily. When we start with small successes, we build momentum (импульс, толчок) to get more confidence in our abilities. What are some small actions you can take immediately to demonstrate that you can achieve goals you’ve set for yourself? For example, clean your desk, organise your papers, or wash the dishes as you promised your Mum. Become your own personal cheerleader. Don’t be afraid to celebrate even your smallest successes.
В. Use the power of your imagination. Create an image of yourself as the confident and self-assured person you want to become. When you are this person, how will you feel? How will others perceive you? What will your body language look like? How will you talk? See these clearly in your mind’s eye, with your eyes closed. Practise doing this for 10 minutes every morning. After that write a description of this person and all the attributes you’ve observed.
С. Get out of the house or set up a hangover with a friend. Socialising with others will give us opportunities to connect with other people, and practise our communication and interpersonal skills. Try to find opportunities to demonstrate your skills and abilities. Try to spend more time with those you hold near and dear. At the same time, try to enlarge your social circle by making an effort to meet people.
D. Ask yourself what you fear, and search within yourself for ways you can cope with these worries and fears. As with all skills, we get better with practice and repetition. The more often we actively do things that scare us, the less scary these situations will seem, and eventually we will get rid of that fear. What are you especially good at or enjoy doing? Regularly doing things that you are good at strengthens your belief in your abilities. Make a list of things you enjoy doing. Do at least one thing that you enjoy every day, and remind yourself that you deserve it. Give yourself permission to feel proud of your talents.
E. Beginning the inner dialogue about who you are and what you have to offer the world is an important process in building self-esteem. According to some research, 80% of people say they don’t have goals. And the people who regularly write down their goals earn nine times more over their lifetime as people who don’t. By setting clear goals, you have a clear target of where you want to be. When you take action towards that goal, you’ll build more confidence and self-esteem in your abilities to follow through.

Being Left-Handed
One out of every ten people walking down the street is left-handed. Everywhere they go left-handed people come across tools that were designed for right-handed people. From scissors to hockey sticks to baseball gloves, lefties learn early that they need to develop skills to live in a world designed for right-handed people.
If you are a right-handed person, try this experiment sometime: grab scissors with your left hand and try cutting a piece of paper. Don’t be surprised if the experience feels extremely awkward.
Thankfully, there are companies today that make left-handed scissors and other left-handed tools. But often left-handed people find themselves in a situation where they have no choice but to use something designed for right-handed people.
In past ages, society was not sympathetic to left-handed people. Young students who preferred using their left hand to write were punished for doing so. Some of these students eventually learned to write with their right hand, but only after enormous effort.
These days parents and teachers are far more accepting and understanding. In almost every school in the world students who are left-handed are allowed to continue using their left hand to write.
For a long time medical researchers have tried to find out why people are left-handed or right-handed. The researchers have concluded that left-handed people are left-handed for the same reason as brown-eyed people have brown eyes. It’s just one of those things that show up in one out of every ten people.
A really interesting question is whether there is any connection between left-handed people and creative genius. Most creative minds have been left-handed.
In the category of art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left-handed. In the category of music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left-handed.
In the field of science and invention, you find Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein. In the field of motion pictures, there was Charlie Chaplin. Musical geniuses Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and Wynton Marsalis are left-handed too.
Each of these people had or has a very exceptional mind, they were great in their field. So even though it may be more difficult for a left-handed person to live in a right-handed world, lefties can know that they are in good company. Beethoven and Einstein had it tough, too.
1. About 10 per cent of people in the world are left-handed. _____
2. There have always been industries
to produce special tools for left-handed. _____
3. There are special shops for lefties
in every big city of the world. _____
4. In the last century schools didn’t support
left-handed students. _____
5. It has always been a big stress for left-handed
students to be made to write with their right hand. _____
6. The problems of the left-handed
have been studied for a long time. _____
7. There were a lot of left-handed people among the world
great artists and musicians, but none among scientists. _____
8. Left-handed teenagers often ask for help
and advice about their problems. _____

Nine Tips to Building Self-Esteem (continued)
1. Create a Plan and Get Motivated
2. Get Compliments
3. No More Comparisons
4. Share your Plan
5. Help Others Feel Good About Themselves
A. Help somebody or teach them something. When you help other people feel better about themselves and like themselves more, it makes you feel good about yourself. See what you can do to make others feel good - maybe giving them a compliment, helping them with something or telling them what you admire about them. Say a few kind words to your neighbour. Smile at someone who looks sad. When you know you’re kind to the people around you, and are making a positive difference in other people’s lives, you’ll know that you are a positive force in the world - it will add to your self-esteem.
В. It’s not enough just to have a goal. Decide on your action steps. One of the biggest reasons people get lazy is because they don’t have a plan to achieve their goals. When you’re baking a cake, it’s a lot easier to follow a set of clear instructions, than randomly (наугад) throw ingredients together. To get motivated to follow your plan read something inspirational, talk to someone who can uplift your spirits, who can motivate you to become a better person, to live more consciously, and to take active steps towards creating a better life for ourselves and our families.
С. Go and find a friend or a family member and ask them “What do you like about me?” “What are my strengths?” We often value other people’s opinions more than our own. Hearing from another person our strengths and positive qualities helps to build a more positive image of ourselves. Accept compliments gracefully. Take it to heart and respond positively. “Thank you” and a smile works well. Talking to friends and family can be very useful in further defining who you are and what you have to offer the world. But remember that the most important conversation you have about self-esteem is with yourself.
D. Stop comparing yourself to other people. Avoid paying too much attention to the happiness and well-being of others and too little to your own. Low self-esteem comes from the feeling of being inferior (низший, стоящий ниже). For example, if you were the only person in the world, do you think you could have low self-esteem? Self-esteem only comes into the picture when there are other people around us and we think that we are inferior. Don’t worry about what your neighbour is doing. Begin immediately with the smallest step forward.

The Debate
Their parents had promised the twins a pet for their twelfth birthday. The only limitation was that it had to be a pet. Singular. That meant the twins had to agree on what kind of pet to get.
Making a Decision
For weeks, Louisa and Duncan researched pets on their own. They spent hours looking at pet photos online and talking to their friends about the types of pets they owned. Duncan’s best friend suggested a dog, but his cousin suggested an iguana. Louisa’s friends told her to get a parrot. The same cousin told her to get an iguana too.
Finally, each had made a decision. Duncan wanted an iguana, and Louisa decided on a cat. They both went to their parents with the decision. But their father reminded them of the agreement. They did not have to convince their parents but each other.
Convincing the Other
The night before they were to go to the pet store the debate began. Duncan opened by stating how iguanas were easy to care for. Remembering Louisa’s obsession with dinosaurs the summer before, Duncan suggested that iguanas were basically just smaller dinosaurs. Louisa said that iguanas were not fun pets because they did not do anything. A cat, she argued, could be held and would play with them.
“Of course you would want a cat. All girls want a cat,” Duncan replied.
“That is unfair. None of my girl friends even has cats. They all told me to get a parrot or a dog. ”
“Well, all the girls I know at school love cats.”
The Compromise
The debate went on for hours with little progress. Each sibling realized the other would not be convinced. So Louisa offered a compromise.
“What was your second choice pet?” she asked.
“I guess a dog,” Duncan said.
“Mine too.”
And so they decided to get their second choices. The next day, their birthday, their father bought a collie puppy for them.

Q&A with Child Line expert
1. What advice would you give to Newsround viewers who have problems?
2. Have you got any other advice for children with problems?
3. How many children phone Child Line every day?
4. What are the biggest problems for eight to twelve year olds?
5. What needs to be done to help all these children with problems?
6. How do children know if they're depressed and not just feeling a bit sad?
Families, bullying and feeling very sad are some of the main things children are calling Child Line about. BBC spoke to Angie Brown from Child Line to find out more and to ask what kids can do if they’re upset.
A. One of the main things is family problems. A lot of children feel caught in the middle when their parents are separating. They feel they might be asked to make a choice about which parent they want to live with even if that’s not the reality.
Another family problem is that they don’t get on with their brothers and sisters. Just because you are born into the same family does not mean you automatically get on!
В. The main thing we tell young children to do is to talk about their feelings.
Not to keep it all to themselves. Children often feel that they can’t talk to their parents in case they upset them. If they feel they can’t talk to their parents, they can perhaps talk to Child Line or a teacher or the mother of their best friend, for example.
С. Children don’t use the word depressed. Children call Child Line and say things like ‘I’m feeling really down’ or ‘I’m fed up all the time and I don’t know why’. Or ‘I can’t stop crying’ or ‘I just don’t feel right’. Any child who thinks they have these problems should always talk about it to someone.
D. Children tell us all the time that there’s not enough counseling (консультирование). And that is the key in dealing with children’s mental health problems. A counsellor can understand whether they might need specialist help or if they just need help to sort out one problem. So we think the government should give more money to provide more counselling for children.
E. If you feel desperate, one thing I like to say to children is that: ‘You never know what tomorrow is going to bring’. Yes, it could be something worse but it could be something which is so much better. My biggest message for children is to make sure they talk about their problems and not store them up. They should talk to someone they trust.
If you’re worried about anything, you can phone Child Line on 0800 1111.

Shakira Shakira Ripoll was born on February 2, 1977, in Colombia. She was the only daughter of a well-respected jeweller and his wife. In naming the newborn daughter, her mother chose from several names, containing the letter "K". She thought about Karime and Katiuska but finally chose Shakira. It’s an Arabic name which comes from the word "Shukram" meaning "Grace". So Shakira’s full name is translated as "a woman of Grace". When Shakira was a child, her mother discovered that the girl had a gift for learning. Shakira knew the alphabet by the age of eighteen months and at three she knew how to read. By the time she was four, she was ready for school. School was not just a place where little Shakira learnt her arithmetic and geography. There she began to understand such great things as kindness, love, trust, and other human ideals. She realized what real friendship was and how much her family meant to her. Later it helped her to decide what to do with the big money she earned. Shakira loved attention and wished to find a way to get it. She sang a lot for her schoolmates and teachers. However, the music teacher told her that she sounded "like a goat". Shakira wasn’t too upset about it and soon found a more original way to become the centre of attention. It was dancing. It helped her to express herself and become famous in school. What is interesting is that no one had ever taught her to dance. In school Shakira was disciplined, but absent-minded. She was usually writing lyrics for her songs on the back of her notebooks. However, Shakira was a good student because she was a quick learner and could understand her teachers’ explanations faster than others. As soon as the bell rang after class, Shakira was the first one to run and get in line for the cafeteria. She usually bought a pepsi, a hamburger and something sweet, like a muffin or a piece of cake. She seldom took a packed lunch from home. Though Shakira was a lover of fast food, she had no weight problems, as she loved dancing. When she was eight, Shakira's father lost all his money because his business went bankrupt. For a while Shakira had to stay with her relatives in Los Angeles. When the girl returned, she was shocked to see almost everything that her family had, had been sold. She later said: "In my childish head, this was the end of the world." To show her that things could be worse, her father took her to a local park to see the homeless children. What she saw shocked her deeply and she said to herself: "One day I’m going to help these poor kids when I become a famous singer or dancer". Between the ages of ten and thirteen Shakira was invited to various dance events and became very popular in the area. It was at this time that Shakira met a local theatre producer, who was impressed with her performance and as a result tried to help her career. This woman organized a meeting with the managers of the Sony company. After Shakira sang, they decided to sign a contract for three albums with the talented girl.

6. Drought
A. The Reuters journalist arrived in the city of Van to see police holding back a crowd of distraught people from the scene of destruction. A father whose daughter was trapped under the ruins screamed hysterically, waving his hands in the air as rescue workers desperately tried to reach her. Rescuers working under floodlights tried to reach those trapped and ambulance crews waited near two collapsed buildings. Other buildings next to them were untouched. Trucks and cranes were used to shift the wreckage.
B. The storm intensified very rapidly in around 10 minutes. The wind speed was 95 miles per hour and travelled approximately 3.5 miles. It cut a path of destruction 17 miles long and 1.3 miles wide. “ I parked and it was raining hard, I started opening my door and shut it back because I looked down and saw all that water swirling and that’s the last I remember,” said Mrs Smith, one of the victims. Heavy rains, lightning and egg-size hail slowed rescuers at times. The twister destroyed at least two schools. Officials said water, electricity and cell phone service was down in some areas. They urged people to stay away from the area.
C. Sofia, a six-year-old girl, is brave beyond her years. She and her little sister are just two of the millions of children in urgent need due to the food crisis in East Africa. Much of their livestock died. Without the goats they have nothing to eat or drink. Even if they had income, the price of food and water has skyrocketed. Her little sister suffers from malnutrition and must go to the center to receive treatment. In addition to a visit with the health worker, the girls receive emergency food rations, high-energy biscuits and vitamins. We have not had rains for two years. There is no place for us to move. All places are dry like this.
D. On April 20th my friends and I met in the parking lot of Loveland ski area to enjoy some backcountry skiing. We divided into two groups to explore the south and the north slopes. We returned from our tour and hung out waiting for the other group to return. The weather forecast promised a snowstorm and we began to worry. When the snow started to fall, it swept up all the skiers. They were all buried in the snow. However they managed to dig themselves out of the snow. All of them were in distress but we realised how lucky they were to survive it.
E. Heavy rain in the Philippine capital, intensified by tropical storm Trami, forced the closure of government offices, schools, banks and most private companies on Monday. The residents in most parts of the city and nearby provinces had to leave their homes because of rising water. At least three people were killed and two were missing in accidents caused by the rain and flooding disaster - the government officials said. This rainy season was the worst in the Philippines which is regularly damaged by heavy weather including at least 20 typhoons a year.

Dolphin Deaths Puzzle US Officials
In 2011 the US officials were alarmed and puzzled by a rise in dolphin deaths along the US Gulf coast in Florida waters. It happened because of cold water temperatures off the southern US state, where normally weather attracts the protected sea creatures during winter months.
Some kinds of dolphins live near the coastline and when weather turns cold they often shelter near springs or in warmer discharge canals (сливные каналы) at power plants to avoid “cold stress” which can weaken and eventually kill the mammals.
Now the authorities at the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are investigating the huge increase in baby dolphins found dead along the US Gulf Coast, in the first birthing season since the BP oil spill disaster.
Eighty-three bottle-nosed dolphins, more than half of them newborns, were found dead in January and February along the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, where millions of barrels of oil from a leaking undersea well (колодец) poured into the Gulf of Mexico over three months.
“It could be direct or indirect effects of it,” NOAA spokeswoman Kim Amendola said. “We have not found the reason of these deaths, but several factors could have contributed to the deaths. They are biotoxins or infectious diseases,” she said. “We are following the situation closely,” she added.
1. Recent events along the US Gulf
coast shocked the officials. _____
2. Many mammals died because of the storms. _____
3. The news was on many TV channels. _____
4. The similar tragedy happened a year before. _____

8. Investigations have found out at last
the reason of baby dolphins’ deaths. _____
9. Greenpeace activists took part in the investigations. _____
10. The BP disaster did no harm to the ocean fauna. _____

Modern Mowgli
A. When Rudyard Kipling created the character of Mowgli, an orphaned boy who was adopted and raised by wolves in the forests of India, he would have never guessed that one day there would be a child that would actually live a similar life. Meet Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degre, a French girl who spent the first ten years of her life in the jungle. In her case, fortunately, it involved only the fun adventures and none of the hardship that Kipling’s young character faced.
B. Born in Windhoek, Namibia, in 1990 to Sylvie Robert and Alain Degre, both wildlife photographers, Tippi was exposed to the wild residents of the African jungles since the day she was born. Her parents travelled extensively through the country in search of exotic animals and the trio often ended up sleeping in a tent in the middle of the jungle. It was therefore no wonder, that the little girl had very little fear of animals.
C. However, unlike Mowgli, Tippi always had her parents around to protect her and the only wild animals that she interacted with were the orphaned animals that had been raised by humans in national parks. These animals were still wild and little Tippi did have a few close encounters. Once an ape tried to steal her milk bottle, another time a small animal thought her nose looked good enough to eat and took a couple of nips. The most serious one that her mum can recall is when Cindy a baboon became a little jealous of Tippi’s thick hair and decided to pull out a handful.
D. The young girl who many locals believed had a special connection with animals, led a rather magical life. She spent her days riding on ostriches, hanging out with (tamed) leopards and making friends with the mighty elephants. In fact, her best pal happened to be Abu, an enormous African elephant. Not only that, she also got to meet and spend time with many of the local bushmen who adored the free-spirited girl.
E. While her magical life ended when she turned ten and her parents decided to move back to Paris, her memories remain with her and a few months ago were chronicled in a book called “Tippi, My Book of Africa”. The book not surprisingly has become a huge hit amongst animal fans. We wonder if the now 23-year-old girl who is studying cinema in Paris, will some day decide to follow her parents’ example and take her kids back to experience, that she did.

Hurricanes
It was supposed to hit the coast of Florida. But hurricane Isaac changed the course midway. It directed its fury towards the three Gulf states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
A. Hurricanes also known as cyclones in some parts of the world are super powerful storms. They gain strength from winds that help them blow at speeds ranging from 75 to 225 miles per hour, resulting in massive destruction when they hit land. When a hurricane first begins, the rising winds blow in towards the centre of the storm. While the hurricane is attempting to go straight, the Earth’s movement causes it to turn to the right, forcing it to go counter-clockwise.
B. For hurricanes to occur, the ocean temperatures must be at least 80 Fahrenheit and the atmosphere around it, full of moisture. Also, the winds must be blowing in the same direction and the same speed to force the air upward from the surface of the ocean. The warm water creates low-pressure air, causing it to rise. As the air rises, it collects moisture-forming thunderclouds. The warm air produces more heat and rises faster, causing colder air to rush in. This increases the intensity of the storm. This water is the most deadly part of the hurricane, because it dumps into any landmass it hits, causing floods and devastation (опустошение).
C. Hurricanes are given names, so that scientists can track the storms from start to finish. In the fifties, hurricanes were named after the phonic alphabet, like Able, Baker etc. From 1953 to 1979, the US Weather Bureau decided to shift to only women’s names. Since then, they have chosen between male and female names and now have six different name lists that they change each year. If a hurricane causes real major devastation, like Katrina did to New Orleans in 2005 the name is never used again.
D. In the past, scientists tried various inventions to weaken these storms. But they gave up in the 1960’s after realising that the weather patterns were too large to affect. Instead, they changed their focus to understanding how hurricanes form and move, so that they could predict the time and intensity with greater accuracy. But like other acts of nature, this too remains an inexact science that is neither completely predictable nor controllable.
E. The hurricane categories range from 1 to 5. It is a way to measure their intensity, with 5 being the worst. A typical season sees about six hurricanes, the peak of the season is not until the end of September. The good news is that Isaac is the fourth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic season - the first three did not land on the US soil. So maybe the USA will escape the rest too, which would make this the best hurricane season Americans have had in many years.

Hurricanes
It was supposed to hit the coast of Florida. But hurricane Isaac changed the course midway. It directed its fury towards the three Gulf states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
A. Hurricanes also known as cyclones in some parts of the world, are super powerful storms. They gain strength from winds that help them blow at speeds ranging from 75 to 225 miles per hour, resulting in massive destruction when they hit land. When a hurricane first begins, the rising winds blow in towards the centre of the storm. While the hurricane is attempting to go straight, the Earth’s movement causes it to turn to the right, forcing it to go counter-clockwise.
B. For hurricanes to occur, the ocean temperatures must be at least 80"Fahrenheit and the atmosphere around it, full of moisture. Also, the winds must be blowing in the same direction and the same speed to force the air upward from the surface of the ocean. The warm water creates low-pressure air, causing it to rise. As the air rises, it collects moisture-forming thunderclouds. The warm air produces more heat and rises faster, causing colder air to rush in. This increases the intensity of the storm. This water is the most deadly part of the hurricane, because it dumps into any landmass it hits, causing floods and devastation (опустошение).
C. Hurricanes are given names, so that scientists can track the storms from start to finish. In the fifties, hurricanes were named after the phonic alphabet, like Able, Baker etc. From 1953 to 1979, the US Weather Bureau decided to shift to only women’s names. Since then, they have chosen between male and female names and now have six different name lists that they change each year. If a hurricane causes real major devastation, like Katrina did to New Orleans in 2005 the name is never used again.
D. In the past, scientists tried various inventions to weaken these storms. But they gave up in the 1960’s after realising that the weather patterns were too large to affect. Instead, they changed their focus to understanding how hurricanes form and move, so that they could predict the time and intensity with greater accuracy. But like other acts of nature, this too remains an inexact science that is neither completely predictable nor controllable.
E. The hurricane categories range from 1 to 5. It is a way to measure their intensity, with 5 being the worst. A typical season sees about six hurricanes, the peak of the season is not until the end of September. The good news is that Isaac is the fourth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic season - the first three did not land on the US soil. So maybe the USA will escape the rest too, which would make this the best hurricane season Americans have had in many years.

Amazon Rainforest Deforestation Shows Positive Trends
While destruction of rainforests is causing concern (беспокойство) in many parts of the world, nowhere is it worse than in the Amazon. Often called the lungs of the planet the 1.2 billion acre rainforest produces about 20% of the Earth’s oxygen and is therefore, not just crucial for its own ecosystem, but also, for the survival of all living creatures, including humans! Fortunately, the deforestation is slowly starting to reverse (поворачиваться в противоположном направлении).
As in many parts of the world, population growth had resulted in clearing out large parts of the Amazonia to make space for cattle ranches, mining, agriculture. By 2003, about 20% of the Amazon rainforest had been destroyed and disappeared forever, taking along with it, numerous species of plants, animals and insects. Experts feared that if the pace (темп) continued, the Amazon rainforest would be destroyed forever. Something had to be done and very soon!
Fortunately, the authorities in Brazil along with environmentalists took immediate action and things began to change. In July 2011, the Brazilian government announced that deforestation had been reduced sharply from the peak levels. The data received from satellite images showed that from August 2011 to July 2012, there was a further reduction of 23%. Both the authorities and environmentalists hope that they will be able to achieve their goal of zero deforestation by 2016!
The Amazon rainforest gets its name from the 4,080-mile long Amazon River, the largest freshwater source on Earth. Not surprisingly, it is home to a large variety of exotic plants and animals.
1. The Amazon rainforests are important
for the world ecosystem. _____
3. The rainforests hold back the development of
agriculture. _____
3. South American countries joined their efforts
to stop deforestation. _____
4. People in the Amazon area didn’t understand how

5. People destroyed all species of animals and plants

6. Experts are sure that in ten years’ time
all the rainforests would disappear. _____
7. The Brazilian government established
the Amazon Fund to save the rainforests. _____
8. Ecologists are quite optimistic
about the future of the area. _____

Five Ways to Find a Unique Travel Destination
1. ASK A PROFESSIONAL
2. HELP THE WORLD
3. USE WORLD TOURIST GUIDES
4. RELY ON YOUR FRIENDS’ EXPERIENCE
5. SEARCH THE INTERNET
6. HEADS OR TAILS?
Any country and area hides unknown tourist attractions. The more difficult it will be to get there, the more interesting and different your experience will be. So here are five ways you can try to find an unusual journey.
A. One thing you can always try is to find a world map or globe and choose a random point without looking at it. This is extremely fun and can give some of the best results, since you can end up with totally unique results. So what if you point to Alaska or Tibet? These make perfect destinations. If you already visited that place, just start over. The idea is to go the first place you choose that is totally new, not look for the most convenient destination.
В. Another trick is to buy the “ 1.000 Places you must see before you die” book or something similar and open at a random page. These books have the most beautiful and attractive places on earth, so your satisfaction will be guaranteed. You can get a copy from almost every library or just borrow one. It seems to be one of the most beautiful books in the world, so you can start adding up new places every holiday.
С. Something else you can try is to search online for the most unusual events or festivals around the world. Find one that happens when you can travel and choose to go there. Meeting new traditions and cultures can be the most rewarding activity. From enjoying the most unusual African rhythms, to watching the Indians bathe in the Ganges, unique experiences are always available, you just have to search.
D. A totally unique way to travel and see new places is to go in a voluntary camp. People all over the world need your help for many things. This is a way to combine two things: helping others and helping yourself to see and experiment new feelings. From helping endangered species of animals in the jungle to supporting some kind of events, you can both travel and cut from your expenses.
E. Something you can try if you really do not want to make any efforts is to go to a travel agent and ask him to pick a destination that is most unusual and arrange for your trip. This is usually not as original and unique as the other methods, but it can give you some nice destinations you have never seen before. The advantage is that you do not put so much work and it works well if you do not have so much time available.
So these were just some easy and crazy ideas about how you could get a special travel destination that will give you some unique experiences and exciting journeys. The road is endless!

Five Unusual Travel Destinations for the Adventurous Traveler
If asked to name the “must-see” attractions in the world, people usually name several landmarks such as the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower or the Egyptian pyramids. These popular travel destinations offer beautiful scenery and new cultural experiences.
For the more adventurous traveler, there are a lot of other unexpected and unusual travel destinations that offer the true excitement and a unique travel experience.
Sun City, South Africa
If one’s idea of adventure involves flying through the air without a parachute or plane, then Sun City, South Africa, provides a fantastic opportunity for those aerial explorers. Sun City boasts the world’s longest zipline (переправа по канату) adventure. At 6,500 feet (1981 meters) long, this zipline allows you to fly Superman-style at 93 miles per hour over gorgeous grasslands. This is a must-see for anyone who likes speed, heights, and the inevitable adrenaline rush!
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
The second unforgettable and unique travel destination is Ha Long Bay, located in the Quang Ninh province of northern Vietnam. Visitors to Ha Long Bay can spend one or more nights aboard a small cruise ship known as a Junk. While in Ha Long Bay, travelers can admire the beauty of nature’s architecture featuring thousands of isles rising out of the ocean, covered in jungle vegetation. In addition, travellers can explore several beaches, caves, and inhabited islands.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Geographically, Ethiopia lies within the Horn of Africa, with a tropical climate, warm and sunny for significant periods even through the rainy season. Addis Ababa is an incredible city, one of Africa’s largest urban centres. Adama is another place people love to visit while they’re in the country; you may know it more as Nazareth. The volcanic water pool in Sodere (near Nazareth) is a must-do experience when you’re here.
Bali Indonesia
Indonesia is a vast archipelago with tens of thousands of islands in it. The country is situated across the equator on the Pacific and Indian Oceans, so the climate is hot, rainy at some times in the year. Jakarta is the biggest urban centre here, a bustling and fun one. The town of Bandung on West Java is a much-loved spot for visitors, a university town with lush (пышный) intense greenery and magnificent mountains. Bali is another well worthwhile destination while you’re here, you’ll see why it’s known as the Island of the Gods.
Blue Lake Cave, Brazil
For a quieter experience, the Mato Grosso do Sul region of Brazil boasts the peaceful Blue Lake Cave. The impressive geological formations, including a number of stalactites and stalagmites are enough to provide some stunning imagery for those who travel to photograph. However, the real gem in this attraction is the large deep cobalt blue coloured lake.
1. There is the world recognised list
of top places of interest for tourists. _____
2. A zipline is a kind of parachute sports. _____
3. One should be risky to try the Sun City zipline adventure. _____
4. Ha Long Bay in Vietnam is famous
for its unusual architecture. _____
5. The rainy season in Ethiopia lasts three months. _____
6. Nazareth is another name for Addis Ababa. _____
7. Indonesia consists of ten thousand islands. _____
8. The town of Bandung on West Java is very beautiful. _____
9. If your hobby is taking pictures,

Five World Heritage Sites in Danger
1. Save History in the Port City Skyline
2. The Ancient African City in Danger
3. Vandals Threaten the Ancient Site
4. Water Ruins the Sacred Christ Place
5. Medieval Monuments Suffer from Flood
6. The Fortress in Need of Defense
A. Tomb of Askia, Mali. It was built in 1485 for the burial (захоронение) of Toure, the ancient king of the Songhai Empire. It’s one of the two sites in Mali that were added to UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger this year. The reason is vandalism of the armed groups that have occupied the region. UNESCO’s representative Amelan said that of the five World Heritage sites included into the Danger list this year, those in this part of Africa are in the most dangerous situation. “Events happening [in Mali] are contrary to the whole spirit of the work that is done by UNESCO and by the World Heritage Committee,” he said.
B. The colonial citadel of Santiago in Portobelo, Panama. An observation post in ruins and a rusted (ржавый) cannon in a recent picture of the site show clear signs of neglect. The World Heritage committee voted to include the forts here - which are considered excellent examples of 17th- and 18th-century military architecture - to the List of World Heritage in Danger this year. The committee also called on the government to take care of the site and to strengthen its walls, batteries, and platforms. Portobelo was founded in 1597 by the Spanish explorer Francisco Velarde у Mercado. From the 16th to the 18th centuries it was an important silver-exporting port in New Granada on the Spanish Main and one of the ports on the route of the Spanish treasure fleets.
C. Liverpool Maritime Mercantile (торговый) City, England. The World Heritage Committee has placed Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City on the List of World Heritage in Danger due to the proposed construction of Liverpool Waters, a massive redevelopment of the historic docklands north of the city centre. There are concerns that the development will extend the city centre significantly and alter the profile of the site included onto the World Heritage List in 2004. Liverpool was one of the world’s major trading centres in the 18th and 19th centuries and played an important role in the growth of the British Empire as a major port. Liverpool was a pioneer in the development of modern dock technology, transport systems and port management and the site has a great number of significant commercial, civic and public buildings.
D. The Church of the Nativity (церковь Рождества Христова), West Bank, Palestine. Sunlight rays illuminate the church located over the cave where Christian scholars believe Jesus Christ was born. During the centuries the site of the Church of the Nativity has had numerous reconstructions and additions, including its prominent bell towers. Due to its cultural and geographical history, the site holds a prominent significance to those of both the Christian and Muslim religions.
This site was simultaneously (одновременно) inscripted into UNESCO’s List of World Heritage and the List of World Heritage in Danger this year. It was added to the danger list because of concerns of damages caused by water leaks.
E. The city of Timbuktu, Mali. Not long ago this African city was added to the UNESCO List of World Heritage in Danger. Founded at the end of the 5th century AD as a small market village, it became an important intellectual and spiritual center toward the end of the 15th century. In the 13th—15th centuries Timbuktu flourished from the trade in salt, gold, ivory and slaves. In modern times the town is best-known in Western culture as an expression for a distant or outlandish place. The World Heritage Committee’s decision to add the city to the Danger list reflects growing international concerns about the destruction of its historical sites after the city was taken over earlier this year by the armed groups MLNA and Ansar Dine.

Homemade Ship to Sail Around the World
Hans Andersen, a life-long fisherman, had a dream. He wanted to sail around the world. And he did it. He got several sponsors who paid for his trip. Не bought a beautiful 40-foot yacht, with all the latest technical and safety gear, and had a pleasant voyage. Well, except for almost sinking while going around the tips of South America and Africa.
The voyage went so smoothly that, looking back on it, he felt it was too easy. He needed a new challenge. He decided to build his own boat. But that was nothing new. Several people had built their own boats and sailed them around the world. No, he needed a unique boat. Watching TV commercials one day, he got it - ice cream sticks! He would be the first man to sail around the world in a boat built exclusively of ice cream sticks.
He put out the word. Within three years, school children from all over Holland had sent Hans 15 million ice cream sticks. He used these sticks to build a 45-foot replica of a Viking ship. After all the sticks were glued together, Hans took his new boat out to sea on a one-week voyage. “It’s magnificent, and totally sea-worthy,” he proclaimed.
He plans to set out to sail in about three years’ time with a crew of two. He will sail across the Atlantic to Canada, and then down to Florida and through the Panama Canal. Then he’ll travel to Los Angeles, Honolulu, Tokyo, around the tip of Africa, and back to Holland. “If this trip succeeds,” he joked, “my next goal will be to build a plane out of ice cream sticks and fly it around the world!”
1. Hans Andersen is a professional fisherman. _____
2. His first trip around the world was funded
by the local businessmen. _____
3. There were no accidents during
his first round-the-world voyage. _____
4. He started to plan a new trip because
he wanted to become world famous. _____
5. He used the Internet to announce
about his original plan and ask for help. _____
6. He had been collecting ice cream sticks
for three years before he built a model of a Viking ship. _____
7. The model worked well in the
real conditions of the open sea. _____
8. His plan is to be alone sailing around the world. _____
9. He is going to share the future trip with his son. _____

1. SAILING SCHOOLS
2. SCHOOLS ON THE MOVE
3. STUDENTS-RULED SCHOOL
4. FOREST KINDERGARTENS
5. CAVE SCHOOLS
6. THE UNDERGROUND SCHOOL
A. Who says you need walls to learn? Who needs a building at all? The new type of kindergartens, a concept popularised in Europe, are schools for 3 -6 year olds that take place almost completely outdoors. Kids in regular kindergartens play on the monkey bars; kids in these kindergartens climb trees. Rain or shine, snow or rain, heat or cold, these kids are out exploring and interacting with their environment.
B. Terraset Elementary school was built in the mid-1970s, when the US was struck by the energy crisis. The country introduced energy saving mode, which was used for heating schools. The designers had a difficult task: the building below the surface of the ground was to be not only warm but also cool. This required new energy costs. The problem was solved with solar collectors. Today Terraset is not only the most energy-efficient school in the country, but also one of the major tourist attractions in the area.
C. School ALPHA, which opened its doors in 1972, is famous for disobedience. There are no evaluations, no strict schedule, and no homework. No one will punish you for writing with chalk on a blackboard. Pupils decide how to spend the school day and what activities to attend. Classes are formed not by age but by the students’ interests: along with Maths and spelling lessons students are provided by modeling, cooking and even basic philosophy. Another tradition is to hold meetings during which children as adults have the right to speak about the need for changes in the schedule of subjects and the system of school management.
D. In the past, the children of nomadic herders (скотоводы - кочевники) did not receive formal education or were forced to stay in boarding schools, and for months did not see their family. Today this problem is solved with the help of the nomadic schools. In Yakutia there are more than a dozen of such schools. One of these nomadic schools is “Keneleken” . In addition to the usual parking facilities there are school tents. Children are engaged in a special schedule. All schools for the children of reindeer herders in the national project have access to satellite Internet. After their homework or tests are checked the schoolchildren get the review.
E. Many children in rural areas of Bangladesh, particularly girls, do not have access to education. Due to tradition, boys are the first ones to be sent to school and girls can go to school only if the facility is not too far from home. Often, the nearest school is miles away. During the monsoon season many schools find themselves under water. Due to the climate change, the yearly floods have become worse and prolonged and children can now go for months without having classes. The solution was unusual, but simple and effective: if children can’t go to school, the school in the form of boats should go to them.

Robots Help to Study
A. Though we may all moan and groan about having to go to school each morning, the truth is that it is not all bad - where else can you hang out with friends, complain about teachers and exchange carrots for cookies? Therefore, you can only imagine how Devon Carrow felt when he realised that he could not and may never be able to attend ‘normal’ school.
B. Devon was born with life-threatening allergies to peanuts, milk, eggs and numerous other foods, as well as, things like perfumes and fabric softeners. Devon’s parents knew that there was no way the young boy would be able to survive in a normal classroom environment, especially since even breathing in an allergen could result in an anaphylactic shock. So, at the age of 5 when most kids are looking forward to going to kindergarten, Devon had to put up with home schooling in complete isolation until his family heard about the incredible Avatar.
C. The 4-feet tall chrome and steel VGO (Video Graphics Output) robot that is fitted with a television screen and acts as a two way audio/video mobile communications system has opened a whole new world for Devon, one where he gets to experience school life on a day-to-day basis and interact with his teachers and friends. The best part is that since the robot is mobile and has a battery life of eight hours, Devon can ‘walk’ to the library and even, join them on the playground.
D. Though life has improved immensely for the young boy since his Avatar entered his life last January, things are still not easy. He has to carry his own popcorn and bring sheets to cover the seats when he goes out for movies. He cannot go out to play and if his friends want to come over, they have to shower and change their clothes before they are allowed to play with him.
E. While Devon is not the first kid to use this amazing robot, he is the youngest. The technology had originally been developed for use in manufacturing plants to monitor production or for doctors to watch the health of elderly patients who are living independently. Fortunately, a salesman from VGO communications called the school district. Hopefully, as more schools and students discover the VGO, Avatars strolling around hallways laughing and joking with friends, will become a common sight.

2. THE ORIGIN OF EO
3. THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM
4. DIFFICULTYTO SUIT SCHOOL SYSTEM
5. ANY7YPE OF SCHOOLING UNDER LAW
6. PARENTS’ PARTICIPATION IN THE CHILD’S LIFE
Education Otherwise
A. Though education is compulsory in the UK for children between the ages of five and sixteen, school is not. Many families prefer to educate their children otherwise than at school, and it is their right under UK law to do so. Home educating families do not have to follow the National Curriculum and there is no single ‘right’ way to educate a child at home.
B. Education Otherwise (EO) was formed by a small group of parents in 1977 and has evolved into a large self-help organisation which offers support and information to its members. They take their name from the Education Act, which states that parents are responsible for their children’s education, “either by regular attendance at school or otherwise”.
C. Some families make a carefully considered decision to home educate long before their child reaches “school age.” There may be philosophical, religious or various other reasons for their choice, and ultimately they feel that in some way they can offer a more suitable education for their children at home. It is also a natural choice for parents who have enjoyed participating in their child’s early learning and see no reason to give up this responsibility when the child reaches the age of five.
D. Other parents send their child into the school system, but later find that school does not work for their child. School does not suit everyone. Sometimes children may find it hard to fit in; some children have special needs; some children face bullying and may become very anxious and distressed. Children may find that school does not suit their particular way of learning, so parents who become unhappy with the education which is provided in schools may also decide to home educate.
Е. ЕО has an extensive network of members that includes those families, groups and individuals who are practising home education as an alternative to school, those who are considering the possibility of home education. This work has been carried out by a nation-wide team of dedicated, experienced members who volunteer their services free to support other members and promote home education. Membership of Education Otherwise gives one the opportunity to meet other homeeducating members, as well as offering a range of information and ideas.

IT Master
7-year-old Nia Zui, a first-grade student in Southern China has already earned the nickname of IT Master!
And it’s a title that is well deserved - for while this little one still does not know how to read a book, he is already in the middle of college level training in computer programming and also has an impressive resume to boot. Nia, who started playing computer games when he was two, went on to install Windows 98/Windows XP at the tender age of three. By the time he turned four, he could install an operating system in MS-DOS mode. By five and six he was installing computer hardware and repairing computers.
Currently he is into computer programming. The highlight of his young life was last November, when around his seventh birthday, he helped a college to upgrade (модернизировать) their computer operating system. He managed to upgrade 7 of the 45 computers independently - his birthday gift to himself! We have a feeling we are going to hear about this young computer whiz a lot in the next few years.
1. The seven-year-old Chinese boy is a computer genius. _____
2. Nia is also at the top of his class in many subjects. _____
3. Nia is a serious boy so he never plays computer games. _____
4. Due to his talent he already goes to college. _____
5. College professors help Nia to become a perfect
computer programmer. _____
6. The boy is good at making computers
more powerful and effective. _____

Five of the Craziest Extreme Sports
1. This winter team water sport for divers has been played for over 50 years.
2. There were a lot of tragic accidents in this crazy sport that is out of law in most countries.
3. One can play this unusual sport only in summer.
4. Fans of this extreme sport move down as fast as some cars.
5. A person who is brave enough to try this sport has to experience both flying and swimming.
6. This water sport has an over two-century history.
A. Volcano Boarding
Racing down an active 2,380 ft (725, 4 m) volcano at the speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) with only a board for protection is considered by many thrill-seeking sports fanatics as the coolest sport.
Thousands of travelers go to the foothills of Nicaragua’s Cerro Negro Mountain every year to take part in the new sporting craze. Surfers, dressed in protective jump suits, knee-pads and helmets, can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h (50mph) on their specially-constructed plywood (фанера) boards. Since its creation, in 2005, the volcano boarding has attracted more than 10,000 participants.
B. Train Surfing
Usually an illegal sport, train surfing involves riders climbing or “surfing” on the outside of a moving train or subway. The practice is a serious problem in South Africa, where many young people have been killed or injured. The ‘sport’ was made popular in the 1980s in Germany, where it was called “S-Bahn Surfing”. The phenomenon was then forgotten, but in 2005 it was rediscovered by a gang from Frankfurt, Germany. The leader of the crew who called himself “The Trainrider” surfed the InterCityExpress, the fastest train in Germany.
C. Cliff Diving
Cliff diving is defined as the acrobatic perfection of diving into water from a high cliff. This dangerous sport originated from the Hawaiian Islands in 1770. The local king demanded that his men jump off high cliffs and dive into the water feet first without a splash, to prove their courage and loyalty. Today, after centuries, the activity has expanded into a sport that is marked by immense courage, focus, thrill and risk. Cliff diving is one of the riskiest kinds of diving. Certain standards have been set to minimise the risk factor. Some of these include determining the height of the jump (23 - 28 metres for men, 18 -2 3 metres for women), an ideal entering speed of 75 - 100 km/h, and a free fall time of 3 seconds.
D. Underwater Hockey
A little known sport, underwater hockey is what some divers like to do during the winter months when the outside water is too cold for diving. The sport was invented in Great Britain during the 1950’s when some British divers were looking for ways to stay fit during the winter. The game is played using nothing more than snorkeling equipment - and of course the stick, protective gear and gloves. The game is played at the bottom of the pool using a puck (шайба) weighing over one kilogram. The sport is tough and tiring. It is becoming increasingly popular around the world and some countries have formed national teams which take part in world championships.
E. AirKicking
In this strange extreme sport, a human catapult launches individuals over 26 feet in the air into a swimming pool. AirKick works propelling participants through the air in a pre-calculated parabolic trajectory using a special combination of air pressure and water recoil (отдача, отскок) technology. The participant sits in a specially constructed seat at the back end of the catapult arm and 3, 2, 1 ...lift-off! The participant himself sets the device in motion by pushing a button. Approximately 60 litres of water are then forced through a rocket nozzle (сопло) under the seat. This pressurized water propels the participant 8 meters (26 ft) through the air for a cool and refreshing splash down in a swimming pool.

2. Read the text and mark the statements True (T), False (F), Not Stated (NS).
Three skydivers made history over Mount Everest on October 5th by being the first people to parachute above the world’s highest mountain. The parachutists from New Zealand, Britain and Canada trained for many years to make their jumps. Their plane flew about 150 metres above Everest’s peak when they leapt out. They had to wear oxygen masks and parachutes that were larger than usual to help them in the thin air. The three were in free fall for 30 seconds before their parachutes opened and they glided down to land. A member of the jumpers’ support team explained to the Reuters news agency: “They looked like tiny birds flying in the blue sky as they jumped from the plane.”
The skydivers were over the moon with their jump over Everest. New Zealander Wendy Smith said: “It was stunning (сногсшибательный, ошеломляющий). I had never seen so many mountains before. To be on top of the world was simply stunning.” Britain’s Holly Budge agreed, saying her jump was “just spectacular”. Their jumps broke several skydiving records. They entered the record books for making the highest skydiving free fall at nearly 8,900 metres. They also landed on the world’s highest drop zone at 3,761 metres. Twenty-nine more brave sportsmen are waiting for favourable weather conditions to make the same jump. The thrill seekers are part of the Everest Skydive event organised by the British extreme sports company High and Wild.

mountain conditions. _____
5. The weather was sunny on the day of the record jump. _____

Things We Enjoy Doing
1. This sport makes me feel self-confident in life.
2. One day I’d like to play with an orchestra.
3. I love risky sports.
4. My favourite station broadcasts 24 hours a day.
5. I think this is just the hobby for a communicable person like me.
6. As for my favourite author, I’m not sure at the moment.
A group of international students write about the things they enjoy doing in their free time.
A. Listening to the radio is a lot of fun for me. Whenever I can, I turn on my radio to listen to news or music. I like to listen to a lot of information, especially the weather reports because it is very useful for me to know the weather to choose my clothes and shoes every day.
I also enjoy listening to music because it relaxes me and makes me feel good. I like popular music the most. I like to listen to the talk of the DJs. They are funny. I sometimes laugh at the way they talk. By listening to the radio, I learn which songs are popular, and then I sometimes go to the music shops to buy CDs with those songs.
B. Playing the piano is the most important thing in my life. Whenever I have free time, I enjoy playing. I love the sound of this instrument. It relaxes and encourages me. I have been playing for twelve years. At the beginning, I hated it because I couldn’t play well, but now it’s my biggest pleasure. I usually practice for three hours. I like Chopin and especially “Fantasy Improvisation”, but this music is difficult to play well, so I will have to continue practicing. I want to be able to perform skillfully in front of the people one day. I often go to concerts. It is always exciting to see musicians get standing ovations when their performances are finished.
C. Reading books is one of my favorite activities. I don’t know how I came to like reading actually, but I had a habit of reading picture books in my childhood and I came to enjoy reading naturally. Usually I read a book in Japanese not only because Japanese is my mother tongue but also because I like the feeling and sounds of the Japanese language. Reading books is fun and gives me a lot of satisfaction. There are many kinds of stories and I’ll never lose interest in reading. We can also learn so many things from books. I love reading because it takes you to a fascinating world.
D. Playing tennis is a very good hobby. First of all, it’s good exercise. Until I started playing tennis two years ago, I didn’t exercise at all, but now I do a lot. Sometimes when I have free time I play tennis over twelve hours a day. I go to the university at seven in the morning and play until dark. I get very tired, but it is good for my health. Playing tennis has also improved my social life. I joined a tennis club where I met lots of people, and I was able to form good relationships with them. Some of these people were over 60 years old, so I think it’s also a good way to create bonds between different generations.
E. Using email and the Internet is something 1 like doing every day because I can keep in touch with my family and many friends whenever I am away from them and can’t see them. Sometimes they send me emails with funny pictures. I enjoy getting emails because then I know what is happening when I’m not there. Usually, I spend three to four hours writing messages and surfing the Internet. I am also interested in getting news and knowing what is happening in the world. I can get news about politics and other things. That’s why I really like using e-mail and the Internet.
