Presenter: With us in the studio today we have a girl from the famous Indian tribe — the Navaho. Could you please introduce yourself to the audience?

Helen: People call me Helen, though it is not my real name. All our names have special meanings; my original name for instance can be translated as ‘dewdrop’ from my native language.

Presenter: That is a beautiful name indeed! Why would one change it?

Helen: You see I had to when I went to school. It was not easy for my teachers and classmates to pronounce it as our system — I mean the Navaho system — of vowel sounds is so much different for people around, which makes it problematic both for ear and tongue. The sound of my name was closest to Helen so I put up with that.

Presenter: When people hear your tribe name, they imagine Indian-style tents and horse riding without a saddle. Could you explain what your land and people are like?

Helen: Much about the life of modern Native Americans is not the same as stereotypes may make you believe. Our land is basically a desert, with proper houses scattered everywhere. We no longer live in our traditional teepees. They are only used for religious meetings. We still ride horses as the land is very open. The people are nice and friendly. I live in a small community in New Mexico.

Presenter: Could you tell us about your family?

Helen: Well, mine is very large, with a lot of relatives spread all over the reservation, and some in different cities. I have three brothers, a sister and three sisters-in-law. I’m the youngest of my family. However, it is not a must, not all our families are the same size. They used to be like ours, but not anymore.

Presenter: What is your lifestyle like?

Helen: Again, far from stereotypes. I go out with friends and wear clothes like an ordinary person — we only wear squaw dresses on certain occasions. I play all types of sports.

Presenter: Do you feel that your traditions are being kept or have they been destroyed, as your people become more influenced by European culture?

Helen: In some families Navaho traditions are kept — they are in my family. Other families are being influenced by white culture, but I think it is wrong for a Navaho to be completely like a white person. Something truly authentic must remain.

Presenter: Is English your first language?

Helen: When I was a child, I was taught both English and Navaho. Now I have partly forgotten the latter — I can understand almost anything but speaking or writing may create a problem for me. The elders understand our language best.

Presenter: What do you do on an average weekend?

Helen: I go to Farmington, the nearest large town, and go shopping, eat out, and then go to the movies. A great weekend would be going to the mall where I’d hang out with friends.

Presenter: Have you traveled much? What is your favourite place?

Helen: Yes, I have traveled. My favourite place is Connecticut. I would like to go overseas some day and see how people are there, and what their lifestyle is like. Navaho people are hospitable and we welcome travelers in our land too.

Presenter: Thank you, Helen.

2. Geographical Wonders	6. Mysterious Stones Origin
3. Conquerors’ Exploitation	7. Vanished in the Air
4. Before It Is Too Late	8. Roman Invention

A. For thousands of years, the Cantabrian Sea has periodically engulfed the massive rock formations on Cathedrals Beach in Galicia, north-western Spain, chipping the softened rock into soaring arches and dark caves. But as well as sculpting this revered and popular landscape, the constant floods may have also washed away evidence of ancient hidden treasure.

B. After the Romans conquered Galicia about 2,000 years ago, joining the territory to the vast and powerful Roman Empire, they minted coins with gold mined in the area. The Galician government, which still oversees abundant reserves of the precious metal, has recognized several local gold mines discovered and exploited by the invaders, who may have also extended their hunt for gold to the wet and weathered caves of Cathedrals Beach.

C. The government nowadays has expressed more interest in protecting Cathedrals Beach than commissioning a study on its past. It recently capped the number of people who can visit the popular site on peak travel dates, requiring online reservations for up to 4,812 visitors daily from July through September, and during Holy Week in the spring, a holiday in Spain when many residents travel. Nearly 250,000 reservations were made last summer, most of them by domestic travellers, according to the Galician government, which declared the beach a Natural Monument because of the beauty and rarity of its rock-studded vista.

D. The beach stretches along the coast of Lugo province in Galicia, a region best known for pilgrimages by foot to St James Cathedral in its capital, Santiago de Compostela, the reputed burial site of the saint. The pilgrims can continue to Cape Finisterre, a peninsula on the west coast of Galicia, which was considered the end of the world during the Roman era. A prehistoric circle of stones a mile from Cathedrals Beach, its purpose unknown, has been likened to Stonehenge in England.

E. Before those legends arose, about 350 million years ago, the ancient continents Laurussia and Gondwana collided, breaking apart a mountain range as tall as the Himalayas. It’s believed the rocks on Cathedrals Beach came from those mountains.

F. In the meantime, the beach continues to lose traces of its history. Scientists hope to unravel the area’s latest mystery and find the last vestiges of the past before they are gone, swallowed by the sea.

G. On a cliff overlooking Cathedrals Beach and the sea, geologists found an un-dated manmade canal carved in the ground, which bears similarities to canals used by the Romans to excavate gold mines in the area. During their searches for gold, the Romans would light fires on the ground and douse the flames with water carried by the canals, a process that cracked the ground so they could dig with hand tools.

In an 1898 advertising poster, a man made of rubber rings hoists a giant champagne coupe full of broken glass and nails (garnished with a horseshoe) and toasts “Nunc est bibendum” — Latin for “Now is the time drink.” Michelin tyres, the ad implied, were tough enough to digest everything the road had to offer.

Advertising metaphor was a bit heavy-handed in 1898, but the idea of eating up the road (as delivered by that rotund rubber spokesman, formally known as Bibendum) would become the guiding principle of that fledgling French rubber company. And while durable tyres made them money, A_______________________.

In 1900, brothers Édouard and André Michelin released the first Guide Michelin. To the 3000 or so motorists in France who bought their tyres, they handed a slim book containing maps, basic maintenance instructions, and lists of mechanics, petrol stations, hotels, and — as information no more vital than the nearest gas pump — suggestions for restaurants along the routes. They were keen to make motoring a recreational hobby for the few well-to-do who actually owned cars, and realized B___________________would result in more wear (and the occasional hobnail puncture) on their flagship products.

The red guidebooks were soon vital automotive equipment, living in glove boxes long after gloves were passé. As more and more cars entered the roads, the addresses of service stations became less necessary, C_________________. In 1926, stars were added to establishments of special note, and a three-star system was implemented in 1933. To create the ratings, the company sends out an army of anonymous critics D_________________. They visit each restaurant several times, and then issue pronouncements that earn biblical reverence, a sort of Chow’s Little Red Book. The Guide Michelin’s genius may be its parsimony; unworthy restaurants are simply not listed, E__________________. Stars make or break both culinary careers and profit-and-loss reports, and chefs have driven themselves to madness and suicide in the quest to gain — F________________— a third star.

1. and the guides began to focus exclusively on hospitality

2. that was done according to the rules

3. another marketing gimmick would change the world of dining

4. or in the heartache of losing

5. that giving them places to go and advice on getting there

6. and three-star establishments are few and far between

7. who are called “inspectors”

Hong Kong is a city of contrasts: of new technology and old traditions, of high-rise buildings and stunning countryside, a hybrid between the East and the West. The territory’s flag bears a flower whose past, and future, are just as complicated. The flag of Hong Kong features a distinctive five-petalled white flower on a red background. This flower became Hong Kong’s emblem when the territory was handed over to China in 1997.

But the true origin of this mysterious plant has only been revealed in recent years. It is now the subject of community conservation projects hoping to save it from extinction. The flower in question is a peculiar plant known as the Hong Kong orchid tree. It is a native of the island of Hong Kong.Despite its name it is not an orchid, but rather a tree in the legume family, the group that includes peas and beans. However, its distinctive 15cm flowers are reminiscent of orchid flowers, and the common name stuck.

The first Hong Kong orchid tree was found around 1880 by Jean-Marie Delavay, a French Catholic missionary out hiking in the countryside. Near a ruined building, he found a single tree with incredible magenta flowers, and took a cutting.»He thought it was quite stunning, quite beautiful, and quite different to ones he had seen before, and so he took a cutting of it and brought it back to his sanatorium,» says data scientist Rob Davidson. Sanatoriums were popular in colonial times as a place of respite and recovery for missionaries that had contracted tropical diseases on their travels.

It is believed that all the Hong Kong orchid trees alive today are descendants of this single plant.»All the trees since then have been cultivated by hand, by someone who’s taken a bit of an old tree, and stuck it on to another root stock and let it grow from there,» says Davidson.This process is called «grafting». It has been familiar to gardeners and farmers for thousands of years, so much so that it is easy to forget that it is remarkable.

Only with modern genetics have scientists begun to unravel the mysterious origins of the Hong Kong orchid tree. A study published in 2005 revealed that the strange flower is actually a hybrid of two known species; the pink-flowered butterfly tree (B. variegata), and the purple-flowered B. purpurea. This explains why the trees can only reproduce with human help, by taking cuttings. Just like a mule, B. blakeana is a sterile hybrid. Hybridisation is when a new species is produced by combining half of the DNA of one species with half of the DNA of another. It is a hit-and-miss exercise. Most of the time, it fails because the two halves of DNA are simply too different to work together. The majority of hybrid embryos never develop.

Even when a hybrid does develop into an adult, they are often sterile. We may never know how the original hybrid tree came to be there. But scientists are now using modern genomic techniques to understand the orchid tree better. Lawrence Ramsden of the University of Hong Kong was a member of the team that discovered B. blakeana’s hybrid origin in 2005. He is now leading a search for mutant trees that are fertile. Such trees might exist: with a few mutations in the right places, a sterile B. blakeana could theoretically start producing viable seeds. If they do find a fertile B. blakeanatree, it might not be quite as beautiful as the sterile ones. That is because the flowers of sterile B. blakeana trees «stay in bloom longer because the plant doesn’t put any energy into producing seeds,» says Davidson.However, a fertile tree might just save the species. But until one is found, or one of the other approaches comes to fruition, the Hong Kong orchid tree will have to survive the way it has for the last century.

The orchid tree was chosen as Hong Kong’s emblem because it represents the merging of old and new. So it seems apt that the plant is itself a hybrid, and that it might be saved by melding new technology with old-fashioned amateur naturalism.

Установите соответствие тем 1 — 8 текстам A — G. Занесите свои ответы в соответствующее поле справа. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании одна тема лишняя.

1. Footballers’ diets Ideal
2. football shape Length
3. Length matters
4. Puree instead of pasta
5. Secret born in the USSR
6. Stress or relaxation
7. Flying fruit
8. Referee’s perspective

A. Good footballers must have something in their genes. Scientists have discovered a link between the length of a footballer’s ring finger and their ability as a player. They compared the ring and index fingers of top players. Players whose ring fingers were longer compared to their index fingers were more likely to be elite players. Some of the players found to have long ring fingers are Bryan Robson, Ossie Ardiles, Glenn Hoddle, Sir Stanley Matthews and Gazza.

B. Fitness training is absolutely necessary for a first-rate football team. Jogging up and down the stadium a few times is not enough. What footballers really need is a quick start. Footballers can get this ability to start running very quickly by using a training method called ‘plyometrics’. In the 1960s, athletes in the Soviet Union used plyometric exercises to improve their results in jumping.

C. Step by step, the method has become very important for many sports that include sprinting and jumping. In the past, footballers used to have a big fried breakfast — or even a roast dinner — before a football match. In the new era of professional football, the menu of modern players has been radically reformed. Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, is known for his scientific method of feeding his team. When he first came to the club in 1996, he at once changed the players’ dinner menus. Sugar, red meat, chips, fried foods and dairy products were out. Vegetables, fish, chicken and plenty of water were in.

D. French diet specialists heavily criticised the pre-match diet of the England players in Euro ’96. Their menu of tomato soup and spaghetti was said to be more likely to produce wind than a win. Potatoes, according to French scientists, make the best meal on the day of a game. They have glucides, which give the player a lot of energy. They also include useful vitamins. According to one piece of research, a player should eat 200-300 grams of mashed potatoes, boiled for 20 minutes, exactly three hours before going to the game.

E. Physics can explain a football wonder — the banana kick. This happens when a ball suddenly changes its direction at the end of its flight. At a certain speed, the air flowing over a flying ball becomes ‘turbulent’. This means that the air moves irregularly over the ball. As the ball slows down, the air becomes ‘smooth’ again. This slowdown makes the ball turn dramatically, creating the wonderful ‘banana’ kicks that the spectators like so much.

F. These days, footballs are made in a design based on the ‘Buckminster Ball’. The American architect Richard Buckminster Fuller came up with the design when he was trying to find a way for constructing buildings using a minimum of materials. The ball is a series of geometrical figures, which can be fitted together to make a round body. The modern football is in fact a Buckminster Ball consisting of 32 pieces. When they are joined together and filled with air they make a perfect sphere.

G. Research has shown that watching the World Cup is good for our health — even if your team goes out on penalties. The scientists suggest that a common interest and a nationalistic pride are very important. The competition makes people less concentrated on their own problems. They are also more patient and can cope with crises much easier. Watching football can, however, also be disappointing, especially when it comes to the decisions of referees and officials. Besides, watching penalties can be very nervous.

Nenets culture affected by global warming

1. when the ice was finally thick enough to cross
2. that the impact on Russia would be disastrous
3. the environment is under pressure
4. and in the end what is good for the reindeer is good for us
5. and set up their camps in the southern forests
6. that Yamal’s ancient permafrost is melting
7. when the reindeer give birth in May

For 1,000 years the indigenous Nenets people have migrated along the 450-mile-long Yamal peninsula in northern Russia. In summer they wander northwards, taking their reindeer with them. In winter they return southwards. But this remote region of north-west Siberia is now being affected by global warming. Traditionally the Nenets travel across the frozen River Ob in November A ___ around Nadym. These days, though, this annual winter migration is delayed. Last year the Nenets, together with many thousands of reindeer, had to wait until late December В ___ .

«Our reindeer were hungry. There wasn’t enough food,» Jakov Japtik, a Nenets reindeer herder, said. «The snow is melting sooner, quicker and faster than before. In spring it’s difficult for the reindeer to pull the sledges. They get tired,» Japtik said. Herders say that the peninsula’s weather is increasingly unpredictable — with unseasonal snowstorms С ___ , and milder longer autumns.

In winter, temperatures used to go down to -50°C. Now they are normally around -30°C, according to Japtik. «Obviously we prefer -30°C. But the changes aren’t good for the reindeer D ___ ,» he said, setting off on his sledge to round up his reindeer herd. Even here, in one of the most remote parts of the planet, E ___ . Last year the Nenets arrived at a regular summer camping spot and discovered that half of their lake had disappeared. The water had drained away after a landslide. The Nenets report other curious changes — there are fewer mosquitoes and a strange increase in flies. Scientists say there is unmistakable evidence F ___ .

Hazlitt’s Hotel

I took a cab to Hazlitt’s Hotel on Frith Street. I like Hazlitt’s because it’s intentionally obscure — it doesn’t have a sign or a plaque or anything at all to betray its purpose — which puts you in a rare position of strength with your cab driver. Let me say right now that London cab drivers are without question the finest in the world. They are trustworthy, safe and honest, generally friendly and always polite. They keep their vehicles spotless inside and out, and they will put themselves to the most extraordinary inconvenience to drop you at the front entrance of your destination. There are really only a couple of odd things about them. One is that they cannot drive more than two hundred feet in a straight line. I’ve never understood this, but no matter where you are or what the driving conditions, every two hundred feet a little bell goes off in their heads and they abruptly lunge down a side street. And when you get to your hotel or railway station or wherever it is you are going, they like to drive you all the way around it so that you can see it from all angles before alighting.

The other distinctive thing about them, and the reason I like to go to Hazlitt’s, is that they cannot bear to admit that they don’t know the location of something they feel they ought to know, like a hotel, which I think is rather sweet. To become a London cab driver you have to master something titled The Knowledge—in effect, learn every street, hospital, hotel, police station, cricket ground, cemetery and other notable landmarks in this amazingly vast and confusing city. It takes years and the cabbies are justifiably proud of their achievement. It would kill them to admit that there could exist in central London a hotel that they have never heard of. So what the cabbie does is probe. He drives in no particular direction for a block or two, then glances at you in the mirror and in an overcasual voice says, «Hazlitt’s —that’s the one on Curzon Street, innit, guv? Opposite the Blue Lion?» But the instant he sees a knowing smile of demurral forming on your lips, he hastily says, «No, hang on a minute, I’m thinking of the Hazelbury. Yeah, the Hazelbury. You want Hazlitt’s, right?» He’ll drive on a bit in a fairly random direction. «That’s this side of Shepherd’s Bush, innit?» he’ll suggest speculatively.

When you tell him that it’s on Frith Street, he says. «Yeah, that the one. Course it is. I know it — modern place, lots of glass».

«Actually, it’s an eighteenth-century brick building.»

«Course it is. I know it.» And he immediately executes a dramatic U-turn, causing a passing cyclist to steer into a lamppost (but that’s all right because he has on cycle clips and one of those geeky slip stream helmets that all but invite you to knock him over). «Yeah, you had me thinking of the Hazelbury» the driver adds, chuckling as if to say it’s a lucky thing he sorted that one out for you, and then lunges down a little side street off the Strand called Running Sore Lane or Sphincter Passage, which, like so much else in London, you had never noticed was there before.

Music lessons

It was a hard winter for Mother. She sometimes pleaded with Father but no one could ever tell Father anything. He continued to stand like a rock against stopping my music lessons. To A22 ___ the truth, Father had certain natural gifts for debate. In the first place his voice was powerful and stormy, and he A23 ___ to let it out at full strength.
