“Listen,” she said. “I want to help you. Hold your bag, and I shall pour diamonds into it. But every diamond which falls on the ground will become dust. Do you understand?” “Oh, yes, I understand,” said the man. He quickly opened his bag and a stream of diamonds was poured into it. The bag began to grow heavy. “Is that enough?” asked Fortune. “Not yet.” The man’s hands began to tremble.
“You are the richest man in the world now,” said Fortune.

The man had to accept the invitation though he didn’t feel well enough to go to the party after the performance. However, he took a taxi and a few minutes later came to the lady’s house. The lady was pleased to see him, but she told him to have supper with the servants. Mr. Roy said nothing. He went to the kitchen, enjoyed his supper and after that sang to the servants with whom he had supper. The lady did not expect him to stay there so long and called him, as she was not pleased with the delay.

Fish and chips
"Fish and chips" is deep-fried fish in batter (кляр) with deep-fried potatoes, and a popular take-away food. Fish and chips is originally from the United Kingdom, but also very popular in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and some coastal towns of the Netherlands and Norway; and also increasingly so in the United States and elsewhere. For decades it was the dominant (if not the only) take-away food in the United Kingdom.
The fried potatoes are called chips in British and international usage; and while American English calls them French fries, the combination is still called "fish and chips". (Potato chips, an American innovation, are a different potato-derived food, and are known as crisps in the United Kingdom.)
Fish and chips have separately been eaten for many years – though the potato was not introduced to Europe until the 17th century. The originally Sephardi dish Pescado frito, or deep-fried fish, came to Netherlands and England with the Spanish and Portuguese Jews in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The dish became popular in more widespread circles in London and the south-east in the middle of the 19th century (Charles Dickens mentions a "fried fish warehouse" in Oliver Twist) while in the north of England a trade in deep-fried "chipped" potatoes developed.
It is unclear when and where these two trades were merged to become the fish and chip shop industry we know today. The first combined fish and chip shop was probably the one opened in London by Joseph Malin in 1860.
During World War II, fish and chips were one of the few foods that were not rationed in the UK. Choose the correct answer:
1) Fish and chips became more popular in London ….
A) in the 20th century B) in ancient times C) at the end of the century
D) in the middle of the 19th century E) in South West
2) … opened the first combined fish and chip shop in ….
A) Charles Dickens/in London B) The Americans/in the 19th century
C) Joseph Malin/in London D) Joseph Malin/in America E) Oliver Twist/in London
3) Fried potatoes are called … in Britain.
A) French fries B) fish and chips C) chips D) fried fish E) cookies
4) Fish and chips was created in ….
A) Greece B) South Africa C) Canada D) America E) the United Kingdom
5) Fried potatoes are called chips in …, and in America it is called ….
A) Canada/fries B) Great Britain/French fries C) Germany/ French fries
D) Wales/pop-corn E) Australia/French fries
London London is a royal city. The British queen has a palace there – Buckingham Palace, which is the official London home of the Royal family. It is a vast 600 roomed palace but it has no style and is quite uninteresting. The 1st sovereign to live in the Palace was Queen Victoria. There is the Queen Victoria memorial in front of the building. The British people like the Queen and the royal family. They like important occasions too, such as: the Changing of the Guard, the State Opening of the Parliament and some others. The Houses of Parliament (The Palace of Westminster) stand on the bank of the river Thames. The Palace of Westminster is the seat of the Parliament. It is built in the Gothic style. The Clock Tower, which contains the hour-bell called "Big Ben", is known all over the world. The Tower is old and it has a long and a cruel history. The Tower was a royal residence, but now it's a museum. One can see ravens on the territory of the Tower. There is a legend which dates from just over a century ago: that as long as there are ravens at the Tower, Britain will continue to exist. St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey are famous London churches. St. Paul's Cathedral was built by Christopher Wren in Renaissance Style (all other English churches are Gothic). It took Wren about 35 years to build the Cathedral. It is an operating church, because it is the largest Protestant Church in England. It is high dome, containing the remarkable Whispering Gallery. Westminster Abbey is situated in Parliament's Square. This is the place where all the kings and queens of England were crowned. Darwin, I. Newton, Kipling, Dickens, W. Scott and many other well-known people are buried there. Five important streets meet at Picadilly Circus in London's "West End". The cars, the red London buses, and the taxis go round a statue there. People don't remember the statue's real name. They say: "It's Eros, the Greek god of love". Picadilly Circus is a very busy place. It's busy day and night. People come here to shop at the day time, and at night they come for a night out. Trafalgar Square is the center of London. It is famous for the tall Nelson's Column – the monument to Admiral Lord Nelson. The square was named Trafalgar to commemorate the victory at Trafalgar in 1805 where Nelson was killed. The pedestal of the Column is decorated with bas-reliefs representing Nelson's most familiar victories. At the base of Nelson's Column are four lions. On the north side of the square are the National Portrait Gallery. The National Gallery has a collection of paintings from British, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch and other famous schools. It is an international, rather than, as it is named, a National Gallery.

Dolphins
Dolphins are marine mammals closely related to whales. Along with whales, dolphins are descendants of above-ground mammals. There are almost forty species of dolphin are found worldwide. They are meat-eaters, eating mostly fish and squid. Dolphins are members of the family Delphinidae which evolved about ten million years ago.
Doplhins' senses are very developed. Most dolphins have sharp eyesight, both in and out of the water, and they can hear frequencies ten times or more above the upper limit of adult human hearing. Hearing is also used for echolocation, which all dolphins have. Dolphin teeth are believed to function as antennae to receive incoming sound and to pinpoint the exact location of an object. Beyond locating an object, echolocation also provides the animal with an idea on the object's shape and size, though how exactly this works is not yet understood. The dolphin's sense of touch is also well-developed, with free nerve endings densely packed in the skin, especially around the snout, pectoral fins and genital area. However, dolphins lack an olfactory nerve and lobes, and thus are believed to have no sense of smell. They do have a sense of taste and show preferences for certain kinds of fish.
Dolphins are capable of making a broad range of sounds using nasal air sacks located just below the blowhole. Individual dolphins communicate using a variety of clicks, whistle-like sounds and other vocalizations. The clicks are directional and are for echolocation, often occurring in a short series called a click train. The click rate increases when approaching an object of interest. Dolphin echolocation clicks are amongst the loudest sounds made by marine animals
