The Hen and the Rose

There was a beautiful rose in a beautiful garden. Every morning she looked at the sun and smiled. But one morning when the sun came out he was surprised to see that his friend, the rose, looked sad. He wanted to know what the matter was.

"Dear Rose," said the sun, "why do you look so sad?"

"Oh dear!" answered the rose, "I am so unhappy because an ugly worm is eating my leaves and will not go away."

The sun felt very sorry for the rose. "I will not shine," he said, "until Rose is happy." So he hid behind a cloud.

The wind came along. "Father Sun," he cried, "why are you not shining today?"

"Rose is so unhappy," answered the sun. "An ugly worm is eating her leaves and will not go away. I will not shine until Rose is happy."

"I am so sorry for Rose too," said the wind. "I won't blow until Rose is happy."

And the wind stopped blowing.

A bird was surprised when the wind stopped blowing.

"Mr. Wind," he called, "why have you stopped blowing?"

/

"Rose is so unhappy. An ugly worm is eating her leaves and will not go away. So Father Sun will not shine and I will not blow until Rose is happy." "I also love Rose," sang the bird. "I will not sing again until Rose is happy."

The bird met a hen.

"Why do you look so sad? Why aren't you singing?" said the hen.

"Rose is so unhappy. An ugly worm is eating her leaves and will not go away. So Father Sun will not shine, Mr. Wind will not blow and I will not sing again until Rose is happy."

"Really!" cried the hen. "Please tell me how this will help Rose? If you want to help Rose you must do something for her. Come with me."

The hen and the bird went to see the rose. The old hen asked no questions. She did not even take the time to say good morning. She looked at the leaves of the rose with her little eyes. She found the worm and ate it.

"There," she said. "See how I have helped Rose and at the same time had a delicious breakfast."

Reading

Read an article about Antarctica. For questions 1-3, choose an answer (А, В, C, or D) which you think fits best according to the text.

What is Antarctica?

Antarctica is a continent that is right at the tip of the planet. If you try to find it on a globe, you will see that it is at the bottom.

It takes up one-tenth of the Earth's surface and is covered with a blanket of ice that can be 1, 5000 thick metres. The South Pole is right in the middle of Antarctica.

Antarctica is the coldest continent, as well as the driest, the highest and the windiest. Very few people live there all year round. Scientists stay there for a short periods, living in specially built research stations.

Summer in Antarctica is between October and March. During this time there is non-stop daylight. In winter, April to September, the opposite happens and Antarctica is dropped into six months of constant darkness,

In Antarctica it is colder than you can possibly imagine, even in the summer! The South Pole is the coldest part of Antarctica. The average temperature for January, the middle of the summer, is minus 28 degrees Celsius (-28 °C).

In winter, April to September, the average temperature at the South Pole can be as cold as -89°C. When it is that cold, a mug of boiling water thrown in the air would freeze before it hit the ice. Sometimes the scientists have to use fridges to keep their samples (образцы) warm.

1. Antarctica is the coldest place on the Earth. What other records does it hold?

   1. driest and cloudiest

   2. wettest and windiest

   3. windiest and driest

   4. cloudiest and highest

2. Why do most people who visit Antarctica choose not to go there between April and September?

   1. because it is summer in Antarctica

   2. because there is non-stop daylight during this time

   3. because it is a period of constant darkness

   4. because it is too dry and sunny

3. Why do the scientists have to use fridges to keep their samples warm?

A. because it is too hot outside

1. because of wild animals

2. because of constant darkness

3. because it is too cold outside

   1. Aberdeen Maritime Museum is situated on the historic Shiprow in the heart of the city of Aberdeen, near the harbour. The museum tells the story of the city's long relationship with the North Sea. Collections cover shipbuilding, fast sailing ships, fishing and port history, and displays on the North Sea oil industry. The collection includes ship plans and photographs from the major shipbuilders of Aberdeen. Displays show ship and oil rig models, paintings, and "North Boats" material, fishing, whalers and trawlers, the North Sea oil industry, and the marine environment.

   2. In 1988 the "Comic Relief" charity organization introduced a new festival to the British culture - Red Nose Day. The event takes place in the spring every second year and is often treated as a semi-holiday, with, for example, schools having non-uniform days. As the name suggests, the day involves wearing of plastic / foam red noses which are available, in exchange for a donation, from many shops. All the money goes to support starving children in Africa and people with AIDS. Many pop stars take part in this festival, they sell their things and possessions at auctions and give the money to "Comic Relief". Once even Queen Elizabeth II took part in the festival chatting people at a pub.

   3. Margaret Thatcher is a British politician, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She is the first and only woman to hold either post. Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister was the longest continuous period in office since the tenure of Lord Liverpool who was Prime Minister in the early 19th century. She was the first woman to lead a major political party in the UK, and the first of only three women to have held any of the four great offices of state. Among other things, she defiantly opposed the Soviet Union, and her tough-talking rhetoric gained her the nickname the "Iron Lady". She currently has a life peerage as Baroness Thatcher, ofKesteven in the County of Lincolnshire, which entitles her to sit in the House of Lords.

   4. Paddington is a district in the City of Westminster. Its name was first recorded as "Padington" in the year 1056. Three important features in the Paddington district include London Paddington station, designed by the British Engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunei and opened in 1847, St. Mary's Hospital and Paddington Green police station (considered the most important high-security police station in the United Kingdom). Early on the morning of October 10, 1992, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) detonated explosives hidden within a telephone box outside the police station. This was intended to act as a demonstration to the British security services.

   5. The Venus fly trap is a very interesting example of a carnivorous plant. Most plants get their nutrients from the soil only, but the Venus fly trap is able to get them from the soil and any unfortunate insects that land in its trap. When an insect lands in the trap, the trap closes and the insect is slowly dissolved. The ability of the trap to detect a victim and close is a mystery since Venus fly traps do not have a nervous system of any sort. The digestive process typically takes a week or two, after which the trap opens and expels the leftover exoskeleton, which cannot be fully digested.

   6. Anacondas in the wild spend most of their time in rivers hunting for their food. They are solitary creatures that are thought to be somewhat shy and not many of them areeasily seen. They are very well camouflaged in the swamps in which they thrive. There are some historical reports of early European explorers of the South American jungles seeing giant anacondas up to 110 feet long and some of the native peoples of the South American jungle have reported seeing anacondas up to 50 feet long, although there has been no recorded evidence of anacondas of those sizes having been caught. Anacondas have a reputation for poor character. That and the massive size mean that anacondas are less popular as pets than other boas.

G. The transport system in Northern Ireland is very well developed.Translink operates theUlsterbus, Metro Bus service and N1 Railways integrated public transport system - you can reach every corner of every county in a couple of hours. Taxis are also an economical option for short journeys. All legal taxis should display taxi license plates. Taxis are generally meter-reading fares; if a taxi does not have a meter, ask the fare to your destination before setting off. In Belfast, taxi ranks are also available; these are generally in the city centre or at some points of entry, and are London-type black cabs. There are also good cross-border buses and rail links from the Irish Republic.

1. A group of university students from Brazil have been given the job of discovering and locating all the waterfalls in their country. It is not easy because very often the maps are not detailed. The students have to remain in water for long periods of time. Every day they cover a distance of 35 to 40 kilometers through the jungle, each carrying 40 kilos of equipment.

3. Another generation of computer fans has arrived. They are neither spotty schoolchildren nor intellectual professors, but pensioners who are learning computing with much enthusiasm. It is particularly interesting for people suffering from arthritis as computers offer a way of writing nice clear letters. Now pensioners have discovered the Internet and at the moment they make up the fastest growing membership.
4. Shopping centres are full of all kinds of stores. They are like small, self-contained towns where you can find everything you want. In a large centre, shoppers can find everything they need without having to go anywhere else. They can leave their cars in the shopping centre car park and buy everything in a covered complex, protected from the heat, cold or rain.
5. Not many people know that, back in the fifties, computers were very big, and also very slow. They took up complete floors of a building, and were less powerful, and much slower than any of today’s compact portable computers. At first, the data they had to process and record was fed in on punched-out paper; later magnetic tape was used, but both systems were completely inconvenient.
6. Potholing is a dull name for a most interesting and adventurous sport. Deep underground, on the tracks of primitive men and strange animals who have adapted to life without light, finding unusual landscapes and underground lakes, the potholer lives an exciting adventure. You mustn’t forget, though, that it can be quite dangerous. Without the proper equipment you can fall, get injured or lost.
7. Substantial remains of an octagonal Roman bath house, probably reused as a Christian baptistry, have been uncovered during a student training excavation near Faversham in Kent. The central cold plunge pool was five metres across, and stood within a structure which also had underfloor heating and hot pools, probably originally under a domed roof. Task 2.

Before the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, scientists thought they knew the universe. They were wrong. The Hubble Space Telescope has changed many scientists’ view of the universe. The telescope is named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, 1 _______________________. He established that many galaxies exist and developed the first system for their classifications. In many ways, Hubble is like any other telescope. It simply gathers light. It is roughly the size of a large school bus. What makes Hubble special is not what it is, 2 _______________________. Hubble was launched in 1990 from the “Discovery” space shuttle and it is about 350 miles above our planet, 3 _______________________. It is far from the glare of city lights, it doesn’t have to look through the air, 4 _______________________. And what a view it is! Hubble is so powerful it could spot a fly on the moon. Yet in an average orbit, it uses the same amount of energy as 28 100-watt light bulbs. Hubble pictures require no film. The telescope takes digital images
5 _______________________. Hubble has snapped photos of storms on Saturn and exploding stars. Hubble doesn’t just focus on our solar system. It also peers into our galaxy and beyond. Many Hubble photos show the stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. A galaxy is a city of stars. Hubble cannot take pictures of the sun or other very bright objects, because doing so could “fry” the telescope’s instruments, but it can detect infrared and ultra violet light 6 _______________________. Some of the sights of our solar system that Hubble has glimpsed may even change the number of planets in it.

Sometimes my father scares me. He can tackle something he knows nothing about, and nine times out of ten, it will come out all right. It’s pure luck, of course, but try convincing him. “Frame of Mind,” he says. “Just believe you can do a thing, and you’ll do it.” “Anything?” I asked. “Some day your luck will run out. Then see what good your Frame of Mind will do,” I said.

Believe me, I am not just being a smart alec. It so happens that I have actually tried Frame of Mind myself. The first time was the year I went all out to pass the civics final. I had to go all out, on account of I had not cracked a book all year. I really crammed, and all the time I was cramming I was concentrating on Frame of Mind. Just believe you can do a thing – sure. I made the lowest score in the history of Franklin High. “Thirty-three percent,” I said, showing my father the report card. “There’s your Frame of Mind for you.” He put it on the table without looking at it. “You have to reach a certain age and understanding,” he explained. “That’s the key to Frame of Mind.” “Yeah? What does a guy do in the meantime?” “Maybe you should study. Some kids learn a lot that way.”

That was my first experience with Frame of Mind. My latest one was for a promotion at the Austin Clothing Store. Jim Watson had a slightly better sales record and was more knowledgeable and skillful. Me, I had Frame of Mind. Jim Watson got the job. Did this convince my father? It did not. To convince him, something had to happen. To him, I mean. Something did happen, too, at the Austin Clothing Store. My father works there, too. What happened was that Mr. Austin paid good money for a clever Easter window display. It’s all set up and we’re about to draw the curtain when we discover the display lights won’t work. I can see Mr. Austin growing pale. He is thinking of the customers that could go right by his store in the time it will take him to get hold of an electrician.

This is when my father comes on the scene. “Is something the matter?” he says. “Oh, hello, Louis,” Mr. Austin says. He calls my father “Louis.” Me, Joe Conklin – one of his best salesmen – he hardly knows. My father, a stock clerk, he calls “Louis.” Life isn’t always fair. “These darned lights won’t work.” “H’mm, I see,” my father says. “Maybe I can be of service.” From inside his pocket comes a screwdriver. Mr. Austin looks at him. “Can you help us, Louis?” “No, he cannot,” I volunteer. “You think he’s Thomas Edison?” I don’t intend to say that. It just slips out. “Young man, I was addressing your father,” Mr. Austin says, giving me a cold hard look. My father touches something with his screwdriver and the display lights go on.

What happened next was that the big safe in Mr. Austin’s office got jammed shut with all our paychecks in it. From nowhere comes my father. “Is something the matter?” he says. “The safe, Louis,” Mr. Austin is saying. “Itwon’t open, I was going to send for you.” “H’mm, I see,” my father says. “Can you help us, Louis?” Mr. Austin inquires. I start to say he cannot, but I stop myself. If my father wants to be a clown, that’s his business. “What is the combination of this safe?” my father says. Mr. Austin whispers the combination in my father’s ear. Armed with the combination, he starts twirling the knob. I can’t believe it: grown men and women standing hypnotized, expecting that safe door to open. And while they stand there, the safe door opens.

“Go ahead, say it was luck, my opening the safe today,” my father says. “OK,” I reply. Then I tell him what I saw in the faces of those people in Mr. Austin’s office: confidence and trust and respect. “The key to Frame of Mind is you have to use it to give support to those who need it when there’s no one else to save the situation. Otherwiseitwillnotwork.”

А.The narrator thought that his father 1) believed that he was the luckiest man in the world.

2) was a knowledgeable and highly qualified man.

3) succeeded in almost everything he did.

4) didn’t mind being called a lucky man.

В.In paragraph 2 “I had to go all out” means that the narrator had to take the civics examination one more time.

2) take the civics examination in a different school.

3) try as hard as he could to prepare for the exam.

4) find somebody to help him pass the exam.

C.They didn't promote the narrator because he had 1) proved less successful than Jim.

2) sold few records.

no Frame of Mind.

4) not reached the promotion age.

D. Mr. Austin was in despair because 1) the curtain wouldn’t draw open.

2) he couldn’t find an electrician.

3) the display had cost him a lot of money.

4) he was likely to lose some customers.

E.When Mr. Austin called the narrator’s father “Louis” the young man felt 1) proud of his Dad.

2) hopeful of his Dad.

3) jealous of his Dad.

4) sorry for his Dad.

F.The narrator was sure that 1) his Dad would open the safe.

2)his Dad knew nothing about safes.

Mr. Austin wanted to make fun of his Dad.

4) Mr. Austin had sent for his Dad to open the safe.

G.According to Louis’ words, Frame of Mind worked if one was 1) an expert in many fields.

2) ready to help other people.

3) a lucky person.

respectful and trustful.

Tracy

Tracy was as excited as a child about her first trip abroad. Early in the morning, she stopped at a 1______ agency and reserved a suite on the Signal Deck of the Queen Elizabeth II. The next three days she spent buying clothes and luggage.

On the morning of the sailing, Tracy hired a limousine to drive her to the pier. When she 2 ______ at Pier 90, where the Queen Elizabeth II was docked, it was crowded with photographers and television reporters, and for a moment Tracy was panic stricken. Then she realized they were interviewing the two men posturing at the foot of the gangplank. The members of the crew were helping the passengers with their luggage. On deck, a steward looked at Tracy’s ticket and 3______ her to her stateroom. It was a lovely suite with a private terrace. It had been ridiculously expensive but Tracy 4______ it was worth it.

Suddenly she felt the huge ship shudder as the tugs started to pull it out of the harbor, and she stood 6______ the passengers on the boat deck, watching the Statue of Liberty slide out of 7______, and then she went exploring.
