A Picnic Spot

B4	‘It’s a perfect day for a picnic’, said Mr. Wolf. ‘Do you think you could pack us a lunch?‘ ‘I certainly could’, said Mrs. Wolf. So the decision was made.	MAKE
B5	But once she and Mr. Wolf and their son and daughter were out in the summer woods, they could not / couldn’t findthe right spot.	CAN NOT
B6	One picnic spot was too shady, another was too sunny and hot. The third had no wild flowers around it.	THREE
B7	And when at last they found one with all those things, Mrs. Wolf cried, ‘Oh, but here there’s no water. Surely we can find a better spot than this one.’	GOOD
B8	When it was lunchtime, everyone was very hungry. At last the children cried: ‘Please hurry up and choose a picnic place.’ ‘Yes, please, do.’ Mr. Wolf said. ‘This basket is so heavy.’	CHILD
B9	‘All right,’ agreed Mrs. Wolf. ‘Let us just go round the next turn in the path — and there we will eat.’	WE
B10	So they went around the turn and soon came into their own back yard! Mr. Wolf quickly put down his basket. ‘It’s a perfect spot for a picnic,’ he said looking around with a smile. ‘Chairs, and a table, and a pool — and a beautiful flower garden!’ And they decided to have picnics there all summer long.

Койот и Улитка

b) Мистер Койот становился очень старым. Однажды он гулял часами по красивой долине и очень устал. Он захотел поспать. Внезапно он увидел большое дерево и попросил его впустить его. Дерево согласилось. Затем оно открылось, и мистер Койот забрался внутрь.

d) Затем дерево закрылось и сказало: “Когда вы захотите выбраться, скажите: «Пожалуйста, выпустите меня, мистер Дерево».

e) Койот спал много часов. Когда он проснулся, он не мог вспомнить слова, чтобы открыть дерево. Он сказал: «Выпустите меня, мистер Дерево», но ничего не произошло. Это было так, потому что дерево не слышало слова «пожалуйста». Койот не знал, что делать, и начал кричать.

c) Птицы услышали его крики. Они пришли помочь, и мистер Дятел сделал дыру в дереве. Но это была маленькая дыра. Мистер Койот попытался просунуть голову в отверстие, но не смог. Его голова была слишком большой. Поэтому он снял уши и просунул их сквозь дыру, потом глаза. Мистер Ворона увидел глаза и полетел вниз, чтобы взять их. Мистер Койот, наконец, просунул голову в отверстие и начал собираться часть за частью, пока он снова не стал целым койотом. Но он не мог найти глаз.

a) Мистер Койот не хотел, чтобы другие животные знали, что он слепой. Он вставил в глаза два лепестка роз. Вдруг появился мистер Улитка, который увидел в глазах мистера Койота лепестки роз. Он спросил мистера Койота: “Почему у вас эти лепестки роз в глазах?” Мистер Койот сказал: “Потому что они очень красивые. У них прекрасный цвет глаз. Вы можете попробовать взять их, если хотите, а я возьму ваши глаза. “Мистер Койот вставил глаза мистера Улитка в свою голову и убежал. По сей день мистер Улитка ползет, опустив голову.

The Coyote and the Snail
a) Mr Coyote didn’t want the other animals to know he was blind. He put two rose petals in his eyes. Along came Mr Snail who saw Mr Coyote with the rose petals in his eyes. He asked Mr Coyote, “Why do you have those rose petals in your eyes?” Mr Coyote said, “Because they are very beautiful. They have lovely colours. You can try them if you want and I will hold your eyes. ” Mr Coyote put Mr Snail’s eyes into his head and ran off. To this day Mr Snail is crawling with his head down looking for his eyes.
b) Mr Coyote was getting very old. Once he walked for hours and hours through a beautiful valley and became very tired. He wanted to have a sleep. Suddenly he saw a large tree and asked it to let him in. The tree agreed. Then it opened up and Mr Coyote climbed inside.
c) The birds heard his shouts. They came to help and Mr Woodpecker made a hole in the tree. But it was a very small hole. Mr Coyote tried to put his head through the hole, but couldn’t. His head was too big. So he took off his ears and put them through the hole, then his eyes. Mr Crow saw the eyes and flew down to take them. Mr Coyote finally put his head through the hole and began to put himself back together one piece at a time, so he became a whole coyote again. But he could not find his eyes.
d) Then the tree closed and said, “When you want to get out, say: “Please, let me out, Mr Tree. ”
e) Mr Coyote slept for hours. When he woke up he could not remember the words to open the tree. He said, “Let me out, Mr Tree,” but nothing happened. It was so because the tree hadn’t heard1 the word “please”. The Coyote didn’t know what to do and began shouting.

The first time Sally travelled by train was when she

1)  had to move to her aunt Alice.

2)  had a summer vacation at school.

3)  went to Pittsburgh for the first time in her life.

4)  visited her aunt Alice together with aunt Winnie.

First Train Trip

I must have been about eight when I made my first train trip. I think I was in second grade at that time. It was midsummer, hot and wet in central Kansas, and time for my aunt Winnie’s annual vacation from the store, where she worked as a clerk six days a week. She invited me to join her on a trip to Pittsburgh, fifty miles away, to see her sister, my aunt Alice. ‘Sally, would you like to go there by train or by car?’ aunt Winnie asked. ‘Oh, please, by train, aunt Winnie, dear! We’ve been there by car three times already!’

Alice was one of my favourite relatives and I was delighted to be invited to her house. As I was the youngest niece in Mother’s big family, the aunties all tended to spoil me and Alice was no exception. She kept a boarding house for college students, a two-storey, brown brick building with comfortable, nicely decorated rooms at the corner of 1200 Kearney Avenue. She was also a world-class cook, which kept her boarding house full of young people. It seemed to me that their life was so exciting and joyful.

Since I’d never ridden a train before, I became more and more excited as the magic day drew near. I kept questioning Mother about train travel, but she just said, ‘Wait. You’ll see.’ For an eight-year-old, waiting was really difficult, but finally the big day arrived. Mother had helped me pack the night before, and my little suitcase was full with summer sundresses, shorts and blouses, underwear and pyjamas. I was reading Billy Whiskers, a fantastic story about a goat that once made a train trip to New York, and I had put that in as well. It was almost midnight when I could go to bed at last.

We arrived at the station early, purchased our tickets and found our car. I was fascinated by the face-to-face seats so some passengers could ride backwards. Why would anyone, I thought, want to see where they’d been? I only wanted to see what lay ahead for me.

Finally, the conductor shouted, ‘All aboard!’ to the people on the platform. They climbed into the cars, the engineer blew the whistle and clanged the bell, and we pulled out of the station.

This train stopped at every town between my home in Solomon and Pittsburgh. It was known as the ‘milk train’ because at one time it had delivered goods as well as passengers to these villages. I looked eagerly at the signs at each station. I’d been through all these towns by car, but this was different. The shaky ride of the coaches, the soft brown plush seats, the smells of the engine drifting back down the track and in through the open windows made this trip far more exotic.

The conductor, with his black uniform and shiny hat, the twinkling signals that told the engineer when to stop and go, thrilled me. To an adult, the trip must have seemed painfully slow, but I enjoyed every minute.

Aunt Winnie had packed a lunch for us to eat along the way as there was no dining car in the train. I was dying to know just what was in that big shopping bag she carried, but she, too, said, ‘Wait. You’ll see.’ Midway, Aunt Winnie pulled down her shopping bag from the luggage rack above our seats. My eyes widened as she opened it and began to take out its contents. I had expected lunch- meat sandwiches, but instead there was a container of fried chicken, two hardboiled eggs, bread and butter wrapped in waxed paper, crisp radishes and slim green onions from Winnie’s garden, as well as rosy sliced tomatoes. She had brought paper plates, paper cups and some of the ‘everyday’ silverware. A large bottle of cold tea was well wrapped in a dishtowel; the ice had melted, but it was still chilly. I cautiously balanced my plate on my knees and ate, wiping my lips and fingers with a large paper napkin. This was living!

When we had cleaned our plates, Aunt Winnie looked into the bag one more time. The best treat of all appeared  — homemade chocolate cakes! Another cup of cold tea washed these down and then we carefully returned the remains of the food and silverware to the bag, which Aunt Winnie put into the corner by her feet.

‘Almost there,’ said my aunt, looking out of the window at the scenery passing by. And sure enough, as we pulled into the Pittsburgh station we immediately caught sight of aunt Alice, waiting for us, a smile like the sun lighting up her face, arms wide open. We got off the train and she led us past the taxi rank and the bus stop to her car that was parked near the station. And all the way to her home she was asking about my impressions of my first train trip and I could hardly find the words to express all the thrill and excitement that filled me.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the USA. Its celebration goes back to the 17th century when the first Europeans left England to travel to the New World. They called themselves Pilgrims and most of them left their motherland because they didn’t agree (to agree — соглашаться) with the official religion in their country.

After the long and difficult journey on the Mayflower across the ocean, the Pilgrims found a place with fields and a stream of fresh water to drink and a lot of tall trees to use for house building. They gave the place the name of Plymouth and made their first colony there.

The first winter and spring in the new country were very hard for the Pilgrims. There was little food and the Pilgrims had great problems. Help came from the Indians who lived nearby. They taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn (кукуруза), how to gather food and dry some of it for winter use. With the Indians’ help the Pilgrims planted a lot of Indian corn. They worked hard and in autumn they had food for winter ahead. The Pilgrims decided to celebrate it and to thank God for helping them. The women got the food ready: prepared ducks and geese and fish from the stream, made some salads. Twenty Indian friends came and stayed there three days. That was how the tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving Day started.

People are destroying the rainforests in __________________________________ .
What will ___________________ be like at the beginning of the 22nd century.

Task 2: Read the text and answer the questions after it. Write down your short answers.

Destroying the Rainforest

Why are people destroying rainforests? There is a short answer to that question: money. Countries with rainforests cut down about 50,000 km2 (square kilometers) of trees every year, and sell the wood (древесина, дрова) to the rich countries of the world. International business buys rainforests in Latin America where land is very cheap. They cut down trees, sell the wood, and then use the land for feeding.

Japan doesn’t cut down the trees, which grow in Japan – but forty per cent of all the world’s rainforest wood goes to this country. Switzerland stopped buying rainforest wood in 1982. But have many countries done the same? If we want to help the rainforest, we must never buy furniture made of rainforest wood.

Many countries cut down rainforests and plant coffee and sugar, which they can sell to rich countries. Not many insects and animals can live in coffee and sugar plantations. A lot of them become endangered and die in the end.

We need to learn more about the trees of the rainforests, before we destroy them. For example, one famous tree is the petroleum nut tree, from Philippines. This tree makes oil, which we can use for fires for cooking or lighting. One of these trees can make fifty litres of oil every year.

People make roads in rainforests. Without the trees to protect the ground, the heavy rain quickly washes away the soil near the roads and nothing can grow there again. Once in Madagascar there were thousands of trees in the mountains and thousands of animals lived there. Nothing can grow there now, and no animals can live there.

Are we to destroy all the rainforests of the world? We must begin thinking of other ways to get money, we should begin planting young trees in the rainforests. We must think twice before cutting down trees in the rainforests. Certainly people will use the rainforests but they should protect them too.

1)What do countries with rainforests do with wood?

__________________________________________________________________________

2)What did Switzerland stop doing in 1982? Why?

Some Important Rules

Colds make more pupils miss classes that any other illnesses. Most teenagers get between two and four colds a year. No one knows why some people often get down with colds at certain times or why some do not get running noses, cough and headaches even if they sit or sleep in a cold room, do not dress warmly when it’s cold, or go outside with wet hair. But sooner or later everybody catches a cold.

The best plan to cure yourself of a cold is to drink plenty of water or juice and not coffee, tea, or cola drinks to keep enough water in your body. Think of what your body is telling you when you have a cold: sleep if you want to, have a warm bath to make aches and pains in the bones easier. And because you know how bad you can feel when you have a cold, protect the people around you by staying at home and coughing and sneezing into a handkerchief (носовой платок) and washing your hands often with warm water and soap.

Teens who catch colds usually don’t get very sick and don’t need to see a doctor. But you must see your doctor if you’re getting worse instead of getting better three days later after the beginning of the cold. Your doctor can examine your throat and ears to make sure you do not have another illness or develop complications and it is time for you to take antibiotics. Remember, you must not take aspirin or antibiotics without doctor’s recommendations.

If your doctor prescribes antibiotics, be careful to take the medicine exactly as he prescribes. If you stop taking it too soon – even if you start feeling better – the infection may not go away and you can develop other problems.

1)It is ________________ to say why and when people get colds.

a)easy b)impossible c)possible

a)cola b)juice c)water
