A. The Lake District, in northwest England, is a small area, but
extremely beautiful, with the varied delights of soft hills and woodland and
the panoramas of the great lakes. The Lake District is more often visited, both
by day tourists and holidaymakers, than any other region of outstanding natural
beauty in the British Isles.
B. England's most ancient northern city lies on the River Ouse in
the centre of the Vale of York between the Yorkshire Dales and the North York
Moors. It was once the principal town of Yorkshire, and it remains the seat of
the Archbishop of York. A child-friendly city, its Viking, Castle and Railway
museums have plenty to engage young people as well as adults.
C. Along the north part of Trafalgar Square is the famous National
Gallery. Founded in 1824, the gallery has since grown into one of the most
outstanding and comprehensive collections in the world, with a list of masters
ranging from Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt to El Greco and Van Gogh.
D. The London Coliseum famous for its richly decorated interiors
was used for variety shows, musical comedies, and stage plays for many years.
In 1974 its name was changed to the English National Opera. Today it is used
primarily for opera as well as being the London home of the English National
Ballet. When not on tour they perform regular seasons throughout the year.
E. The Mall is London's impressive ceremonial way, a broad
tree-lined avenue. The spectacular parade takes place here each June to
celebrate the official Birthday of the Sovereign. Queen Elizabeth II rides down
the avenue in a horse-drawn carriage. Over 1,000 officers and men are on
parade, together with two hundred horses; over two hundred musicians march and
play as one.

5. A nice-sounding building.
6. The initial steps of commerce.
A. Moscow has always been a multicultural city. If we look back at
its history, we will see that there were several foreign communities living in
Moscow on a permanent basis. We all know about German people inhabiting the
banks of the Yauza river, where little Peter, the future tsar of all Russia,
ran around, made friends and got his first ideas of learning about ships and
fleets. But what do we know about the British community of Moscow? Did it even
exist?
B. The first ties between Russia and Britain were formed in the
middle of the 16th century in the time of Ivan the Terrible. It was then that
some wealthy British merchants founded the Muscovy Company which held a
monopoly on trade between Britain and Russia until 1698. The building of its
Moscow headquarters was granted to the company by the tsar in 1556 and can be
still visited at 4, Varvarka Street, known to us now as The Old English Court.
С. Beginning from the time of Peter the Great, several talented
British military men moved to Russia. Many of them served as army generals and
navy admirals, defending Russian borders in different wars and battles. Among
the most famous ones were Field Marshall James Bruce, Field Marshall Barclay de
Tolly and Admiral Thomas Mackenzie, all of them of Scottish origin.
D. In the 18th century, British industrialists made themselves
known in Russia. One of the most outstanding figures was Robert McGill, who
lived in Moscow and served as an intermediary between Lancashire mill engineers
and the Russian cotton industry, and built over 180 mills (cotton factories) in
Russia. Robert McGill had a house in Spiridonovka Street and together with his
wife Jane was a prominent member of the British community in Moscow.
E. If you talk to Moscow concert musicians who were active between
the 1970s and the 1990s, they will tell you of the fantastic acoustics of the
“Melodiya” recording studio at 8, Voznesensky Lane, which they lovingly called
‘kirche’, mistakenly thinking it was a German church. This building, designed
in the English neo-gothic architectural style, was in fact built in 1885 by
Robert McGill and is St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, which was used as a
recording studio in Soviet times.

6. Who Should Do It?
A. An Italian boy, who is in Britain for the first time, talked
about the weather, “I can’t understand it. I’ve been here for over a week and I
still haven’t seen any fog!”
B. A Japanese student from Tokyo said, “I’ve been in Britain since
April and have been living with a British family. I’ve noticed one big
difference between British and Japanese families. British men do jobs like
cooking, washing up and ironing. They’re jobs which I’ve never seen Japanese
men do. They think it’s women’s work. But I don’t agree with it!”
C. A German student at a language school in Oxford said, “I
thought Britain was a modern European country — you’ve been in the EEC for
years now. So why do you still use miles,Or pints and pounds instead of
kilometres, litres and kilos? And why do you still drive on the wrong side of
the road?”
D. A Danish girl who works as an au pair in Liverpool said, “I
came to Britain a month ago. I’ve noticed one very strange thing here. After
British people have washed the dishes, they never rinse them. They just take
them out of the dirty, soapy water and leave them to dry!”
E. A Swedish girl said, “I’ve watched a lot of television since I
arrived two weeks ago. British television’s brilliant! But the “programmes”
which I’ve enjoyed most are the advertisements. They’re very funny or very
clever, or both. Back home in Sweden we don’t have any TV advertisements at
all!”

6. Strangers in the Garden
A. Last night, at about three o’clock in the morning, I heard a
strange noise downstairs. I got out of bed and put on my dressing gown. With my
heart beating fast, I slowly went to the top of the stairs. It sounded like
there were people talking in the kitchen.
B. I didn’t know what to do. Finally, I decided to go downstairs.
I made my way quietly down the stairs and listened at the kitchen door. A man
asked: “Did you kill him?” and a woman replied: “Yes, I shot him.” Then the man
asked: ’’Why did you do that?” Suddenly I realised that there were not really
any people in the kitchen. It was just the TV. But why did it turn itself on in
the middle of the night?
C. While I was standing in the kitchen wondering about the TV, I
looked out of the window. It was dark, but I could see a figure outside.
Someone was walking slowly across the garden! He whispered something. He was
talking to another person! What were they doing in my garden?
D. I was wondering what to do when they started walking towards
the kitchen window. They were coming towards me! I didn’t know what to do so I
grabbed a knife and waited. They were getting closer and closer. I was so
frightened. They came right up to the window, and I saw their faces. It was my
neighbours, Anna and Larry!
E. They obviously were not trying to break into my house, so why
were they talking in my garden in the middle of the night? I opened the kitchen
door and Anna and Larry came in. They sat down, and I made them both a cup of
coffee. This is what Anna told me: “We were sleeping in our bedroom when we
heard a loud noise coming from your kitchen. So Alan and I decided to
investigate. We came down to your garden, but couldn’t see any lights on.

A. Los Angeles is the second largest city in the USA. It’s also
home to film stars, sunny weather, tall buildings and heavy traffic. The hotels
in LA are more expensive than those in many other American cities, but they are
pretty clean and safe.
B. There are many interesting places that you can visit, like
Venice Beach with its street performers or Universal Studios to see how they
make films. Children can visit the Children’s Museum — ne of the most exciting
museums in the world.
C. There are famous restaurants you can eat at, like the Buffalo
Hub, a place packed with celebrities, or Musso and Frank’s, Hollywood’s oldest
restaurant. For the most delicious Mexican dishes at the Border Grill.
D. You can buy cheap fashionable clothes on Melrose Avenue. Do you
want designer clothes? Then go to the expensive shops on Rodeo Drive. A visit
there is always unforgettable.
E. The nightlife is exciting on the Sunset Strip, an area in
Hollywood with famous clubs. There you can enjoy rock’n’roll music. LA is a
really modern city with something for everyone. It’s noisy and crowded, but

6. Using neighbours’ wi-fi.
A. A Singapore teenager who used his neighbours’ wi-fi Internet
network will not be able to use the Internet for the next 12 months. The
message for wi-fi users is clear: if it isn’t yours, don’t use it.
B. Seventeen-year-old Tan Luo was an online-game fan and played
games at all hours of the day. He didn’t have time to study and wasn’t able to
complete his course at the college. In the end, his parents were very worried
and they disconnected their Internet access so Tan couldn’t go online.
C. However, this didn’t stop him. He knew his neighbours had
Internet access, so he used theirs. He was able to connect to their wireless
Internet network, or ‘wi-fi’, and continued playing online games from his own
home.
D. The neighbours noticed Tan was using their wi-fi one night.
They told him to stop, but he didn’t, and so they called the police. In
Singapore it’s a crime to use a wi-fi network that isn’t yours. So, the young
wi-fi thief had to go to court.
E. In court, Tan said he was very sorry. The judge didn’t sent him
to prison. Instead, he sent Tan to a boys’ hostel for nine months. At the
hostel, he will do sports and other activities, but he won’t be allowed to play
video games. Furthermore, he won’t be able to use the Internet for the next
year.

4. Scare yourself.
5. The first theme park.
6. See Ancient Egypt.
A. For many years, it has been a tradition in many parts of the
world to hold a fair during public holidays. During religious festivals, there
was a carnival atmosphere in many towns as fairgrounds appeared for a few days
for people just to have fun. But slowly these fairs have been replaced by more
permanent sites, where people can have fun all the year round.
B. Opened in 1955, Disneyland in California is regarded by many as
the original fun park. Visitors were greeted by characters from various Disney
films and the procession of Mickey Mouse and his friends is still a beautiful
sight for people of all ages.
C. Nowadays, such parks can be found all over the world: indeed,
it is becoming hard to avoid them. Special events, such as unforgettable
firework displays, are organised in order to bring in the crowds. Creating a
theme park involves a lot of money and the managers cannot afford to relax.
D. A trip to a fun park is not complete without something to
really scare you. A roller coaster is nothing special these days. For real
thrills, there’s ‘Oblivion’, at Alton Towers in England, which takes you
headfirst into a dark hole filled with smoke. It doesn’t last long, but three
minutes of nightmare is enough.
E. For people who don’t like frightening rides there are plenty of
other ways to spend the time. At the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, there is a glass
copy of the tomb of Tutankhamun. There are shops and restaurants and imitation
temples, but-best of all there is the possibility of a boat trip down the Nile.

1. Groups of stars.

3. Moving to the west.
4. Giving out light.
5. Orbiting round stars.
6. The nearest star.
A. Over millions of years, hot clouds of gas called ‘nebulae’ grow
until they explode and form huge, blazing balls of fire. This is how stars are
born. Our own sun is a star. Eventually, like all stars, it will run out of
fuel and die. Don ’t worry though — this won’t happen for another 5
billion years!
B. Stars are sources of light. This is the reason they shine so
brightly in the sky. The moon, planets and comets also shine, but they don’t
give out their own light. They just reflect it from the sun.
C. Stars are very, very far away. In fact, when their light
reaches our eyes, we sometimes see them as they were thousands of years ago.
Our sun is the nearest star to Earth, but it is still about 160 million km
away! It is part of the Milky Way galaxy, a white band of stars that stretches
across the night sky.
D. Constellations are groups of stars. If you draw lines between
them (and use lots of imagination) they sometimes look like objects, animals or
people. The ancient Greeks thought that Orion looked like a giant hunter with a
sword attached to his belt.
E. As the earth moves around the sun, we see the constellations in
different positions in the sky at different times of the year. In the same way,
the whole sky seems to move towards the west as the earth rotates on its axis
throughout the night.

1. Dangerous shoes.
2. Following the rules.
3. Angry shoppers.
4. New fashion.
5. Dress rules.
6. Wear in special areas.
A. A new kind of training shoes, with wheels in the heel, are in
fashion in Wales. Many teenagers asked for them at Christmas. But the manager
of the St Andrew`s Shopping Centre in Liverpool says the shoes, called
‘Heelies’, are dangerous. He says kids in ‘Heelies’ can’t enter the mall. They
must take them off and walk around in their socks.
B. The manager, Gilmour Johnes, thinks there is a safety problem.
Teenagers with these shoes could break a shop window or knock down an older
customer. Mr. Johnes says that the rule against wheels is not new. ‘For many
years we have had the rules against using rollerblades or skateboards in the
centre.’
C. Many other malls also have specific dress rules for teenagers.
In the USA, some malls have rules about wearing baseball caps. You mustn’t wear
your cap to the side — the cap must be straight, and you mustn’t wear it low
over your face. The security camera must be able to see your face.
D. Many of these rules are to stop big groups of teenagers getting
in the way of shoppers. Groups of kids sometimes stand on the stairs or in the doors
and customers can’t pass. Some shoppers are afraid of large groups of noisy
teenagers. One mall manager said, ‘We are here to sell. If you don’t want to
buy, we don’t want you here.’
E. However, the problem with ‘Heely’ shoes is not just the
feelings of other shoppers. There is a real safety problem — these shoes can be
dangerous. The company that makes them tells users not to wear them in crowded
places.

A. Liza Smith is a successful British singer. Her smiling face
appears on the covers of international magazines, and every year she travels to
many different parts of the world to perform concerts to millions of fans.
B. However, life used to be very different for this bright young
star from Bristol. She lived in a small terraced house with her parents and
three brothers. They didn’t have a lot of money and she worked as a cleaner to
make ends meet. She used to buy clothes from second-hand shops.
C. In her free time she used to sing in the college choir. She
learnt the words to every pop song and people hired her to sing at parties. Her
friends liked her voice a lot and persuaded her to send a cassette to a record
company. That’s how it all started and her life changed completely.
D. Today Liza lives in a large house with a big garden just
outside London with her husband and her daughter. She looks very elegant in her
chic designer clothes. She goes to the gym every day to keep her body in shape.
In her free time she enjoys going to the theatre or to parties.
E. Liza’s lifestyle has changed a lot since those days in
Liverpool. I think I’m very lucky to lead the life I lead today. It’s not easy,
though, because I don’t have the privacy that I used to have. Still, I have a
lovely family and a very promising career. What else could I ask
for?’ she says.
