A. Today Jakarta has much to offer, ranging from museums, art and antique markets, first class shopping to accommodations and a wide variety of cultural activities. Jakarta’s most famous landmark, the National Monument or Monas is a 137m obelisk topped with a flame sculpture coated with 35 kg of gold. Among other places one can mention the National museum that holds an extensive collection of ethnographic artifacts and relics, the Maritime Museum that exhibits Indonesia’s seafaring traditions, including models of sea going vessels.

B. Sumatra is a paradise for nature lovers, its national parks are the largest in the world, home to a variety of monkeys, tigers and elephants. Facing the open sea, the western coastline of Sumatra and the waters surrounding Nias Island have big waves that make them one of the best surfer’s beaches in Indonesia. There are beautiful coral reefs that are ideal for diving. For those who prefer night dives, the waters of Riau Archipelago offer a rewarding experience with marine scavengers of the dark waters.

C. Various establishments offer professional pampering service with floral baths, body scrubs, aromatic oils, massages and meditation; rituals and treatments that use spices and aromatic herbs to promote physical and mental wellness.

D. Jakarta has a distinctly cosmopolitan flavor. Tantalize your taste buds with a gastronomic spree around the city’s many eateries. Like French gourmet dining, exotic Asian cuisine, American fast food, stylish cafes, restaurants all compete to find a way into your heart through your stomach. The taste of Indonesia’s many cultures can be found in almost any corner of the city: hot and spicy food from West Sumatra, sweet tastes of Dental Java, the tangy fish dishes of North Sulawesi.

E. In the face of constant exposure to modernization and foreign influences, the native people still faithfully cling to their culture and rituals. The pre-Hindu Bali Aga tribe still maintains their own traditions of architecture, pagan religion, dance and music, such as unique rituals of dances and gladiator-like battles between youths. On the island of Siberut native tribes have retained their Neolithic hunter-gathering culture.

F. Whether you are a serious spender or half hearted shopper, there is sure to be something for everybody in Jakarta.

About 17 km away from this monastery is a 9th century temple complex built by the Sanjaya dynasty. Prambanan complex is dedicated to the Hindu trinity: Ciwa, Vishnu and Brahma. The spread of Islam also left interesting monuments such as the 15th century Minaret Mosque in Kudus.

A. Nobody knows when Moscow first appeared on the face of the earth. It is true that the first mention of Moscow dates back to 1147, but by that time it had probably been around for a while and was big enough to be mentioned in the Russian chronicles. Still, it is convenient to use that date to celebrate Moscow’s anniversaries which we are doing this year – Moscow has turned 870, a respectable age for one of the biggest capitals in the world!

B. Throughout its history, Moscow has been visited by many English speakers. The first British people arrived in Moscow in 1553 by accident. In the age of great geographical discoveries, when Spanish and Portuguese navigators were

sailing the world in search of the shortest way to Asia, British merchants tried to find their own way – through the Arctic. When they were stopped by ice, they turned their ships south and ended up in Russia.

C. Ivan the Terrible was happy to meet the first English merchants and granted them privileges to make trade between Russia and Britain easy. This was how The Muscovy Company appeared in Britain. The Czar even granted them a house near the Kremlin. This solid brick building has survived all the fires of Moscow and can be visited today. In 1994, during Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Moscow, it was turned into a museum – The Old English Court.

D. Mr Francis Pargiter was one of the merchants of The Muscovy Company and visited Moscow in the 1660s. He did not leave a written account of his trip, but his impressions of Moscow were recorded by his friend – Samuel Pepys, a

Member of Parliament who kept a diary. Mr Pargiter described Moscow as ‘a very great city’ but mostly with wooden houses and with very few people playing chess and ‘not a man that speaks Latin’!

E. In 1867, Moscow’s 720th anniversary, a trip to Moscow was undertaken by the author of “Alice in Wonderland”, Lewis Carrol. He described Moscow as a ‘wonderful city, a city of white houses and green roofs, of conical towers that rise one out of another like a telescope; of bulging glided domes, in which you can see as in looking glass, distorted pictures of the city.’ It is believed that the idea of “Through the Looking Glass” came to the writer during his trip to Russia.

F. In 1917, during the restless days of the Revolution, when not many people even remembered Moscow’s 770th anniversary, Moscow was visited by the American journalist John Reed. Among the fires and destroyed buildings, he

was happy to see St. Basil’s Cathedral untouched: ‘Late at night we went through the empty streets to the great Red Square. The church of Vasili Blazheiny loomed fantastic, its bright-coloured cupolas vague in darkness’.

G. In 1947, the American writer John Steinbeck witnessed Moscow’s 800th anniversary celebration. ‘The walls of the Kremlin and its towers were outlined in electric lights. Every public building was floodlighted. In every public square dance stands had been put up, and in some of the squares little booths, made to look like Russian fairy-tale houses, had been erected for sale of sweets, and ice-cream, and souvenirs’, he wrote in his Russian Journal.

1. Why extreme sports are popular
2. Combination of two sports
3. Competition with food
4. Sport or performance?
5. Known to everybody
6. Taken from literature
7. Danger in the snow
8. A skill not used

A. Poohsticks is a sport first mentioned in “The House at Pooh Corner”, a Winnie-the-Pooh book by A. A. Milne. It is a simple sport which may be played on any bridge over running water. Each player drops a stick on the upstream side of a bridge and the one whose stick first appears on the downstream side is the winner. The annual World Poohsticks Championships have been held at Day’s Lock on the River Thames in the UK since 1984.

B. Chess boxing is a hybrid sport that consists of chess and boxing in alternating rounds. The sport was invented by French artist and filmmaker Enki Bilal in his comic book “Froid Equateur” in 1992. The first real event of chess-boxing was organized by Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh in 2003. Chess boxing is a fast growing sport. The sport alternates between games of boxing and chess after each round – waiting for a checkmate or knockout to decide the match.

C. In heliskiing people pay a large sum of money to get helicoptered to a remote snow-covered area only to ski down the white slope. These skiers spend hundreds of dollars to ski down a natural landscape unlike the artificial slopes of a ski-resort. Most obviously, the natural environment involves greater risks and discomfort. Even the journey into the interior part of a mountainous area has often been life-threatening in the past.

D. Cheese rolling is something that has been around for over 200 years and is still practiced today. During the Spring Bank Holiday in England, people gather at the top of Coopers Hill and prepare for something very exciting. At the top of the hill, a judge rolls a round of cheese down the slope and the participants follow. People try to run down the slope but often end up rolling down like the cheese. The winner of the race wins the round of cheese as well as a few bruises and scars.

E. It’s possible that extreme sports became trendy in the late 20th century as a reaction to the greater safety of modern life. Lacking a feeling of danger in their everyday activities, people wanted more excitement or risk. Another reason is improved sports technology. For example, the invention of sticky rubber-soled climbing shoes and artificial climbing walls increased the appeal of rock climbing. And advances in ski design allowed more skiers to try extreme feats.

F. Extreme Ironing is an extreme sport and a performance art. People who play this unusual sport go to a remote location and iron clothes! They call themselves “ironists”, and get a thrill from taking their ironing board, unplugged iron and some of their clothes to some extreme places and photograph themselves doing it. Such places that they have reached include extreme altitude, underwater, hanging from cliffs, and on top of vehicles.

G. Approximately 65 thousand people in the United States alone do not know how to swim. Many of them learned as young children but never go to a pool, lake, river, or ocean anymore and have forgotten how to swim over the years. Others were never taught and continue to avoid the activity altogether. It was once thought that knowing how to swim was important for safety reasons, but now it is pretty much left up to the individual.

Russky Dom

The Science Museum in Vancouver has had many different names over the years. Its present form however dates back to the 1986 World Fair (Expo 86). That year the theme for the World Fair was “Transport” and a special, modernistic exhibition space and dome was built as the centre piece. Called a geodesic dome; its style was influenced by the great American architect — Richard Buckminster Fuller. After the Fair closed, the people of Vancouver (private individuals, businesses, government offices) began a massive fund raising project to save the Dome and make it home to the city’s science museum. Two years later, $19 million dollars had been raised and the first stages of construction completed. In the first 12 weeks alone 310,000 visitors came to visit what was then called “Science World”.

Since that time the museum’s name changed a few times. The aluminium company, Alcan Inc, acted as sponsor so that one of the buildings would be named after them. Then Telus, the Canadian telecommunications giant donated $9 million dollars and the venue became “The Telus World of Science”: However, the new name proved almost universally unpopular among the people of Vancouver.

But during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, the museum was once again transformed and for a short while became — the Russky Dom! This involved two weeks of spectacular events in February 2010. Every day the people of Vancouver and international visitors to the Winter Games were treated to Russian folk songs, dancers and music sessions. Russian athletes came in to meet the public and sign autographs. There were quizzes and comedy shows and an opportunity for the world to get a taste of what they might expect when the Winter Games come to Sochi in 2014. The centre piece was a huge electronic clock counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the start of the Sochi games.

Today the museum is still very much in business attracting huge numbers of visitors. A $35 million dollar development program was recently announced. There are thousands of brilliant exhibits that teach children and adults all about the world. Many are “hands-on” so that people can perform simple experiments themselves. There is a fabulous and entertaining educational program. You can even go to the link for a taster!

If you plan to visit the museum there are a few exhibits you simply must not miss — “Our World” in particular. It is about sustainable electricity. There are kinetic wheels, wind tunnels and solar panels. You are even given the chance to generate electricity using your own hands. The largest and brightest gallery in the museum is called “Eureka”. Here you can explore and learn about water, air, light, sound and motion.

You can go in to “Contraption Corner”, check out an “inventor box” and construct one of several whirling, buzzing and spinning gadgets. You also get to try and find solutions to practical (and in some cases not so practical) problems — such as how to lift a hippopotamus!

But the wrangle over the name continues. Some people insist it is called “Telus World of Science” and others say it is called “Science World”. But there are more than a few citizens of Vancouver who still remember a great party in February 2010. For them — the name Russky Dom is the one they prefer to use!

12. The “Science World” originally was
1) transport exhibition.
2) a part of the World Fair.

13 The Museum changed its name due to the
1) development of telecommunications.
2) will of people of Vancouver.
3) popularity of local companies.
4) wish of the main sponsor.

1) Russian musicians performed there.
2) Athletes met the public there.
3) The clock there showed the time remaining till the Sochi Olympiad.
4) It was decided there to set the next 2014 Olympics in Sochi.

15 “Hands-on” in paragraph 4 refers to
1) experiments.
2) visitors.
3) exhibits.
4) educational programs.

16 The text particularly recommends to
1) generate electricity with one’s hands.
2) visit electricity exhibits.
3) enjoy a walk in a “Eureka” gallery.
4) pay attention to solar panels.

17 In the “Contraption Corner” one can
1) try oneself as an inventor.
2) solve any practical problem.
3) see all familiar gadgets.
4) try to lift a hippo.

18 Which of the following officially won the name competition?
