A. Little is known for certain about how guinea pigs were first introduced to Europe and North America as a domestic pet, but they most probably came during the 16th century. Holland, Portugal and Spain had colonies in South America, and the explorers brought to Europe gold and precious gems, along with other unusual and exciting finds. Colourful parrots became very popular status symbols in the homes of the wealthy, and with them came the guinea pig and other animals previously unknown in Europe.

Мало что наверняка известно о том, как морские свинки впервые были ввезены в Европу и Северную Америку в качестве домашнего питомца, но они, скорее всего, появились в 16-м веке. Голландия, Португалия и Испания были колониями в Южной Америке, и исследователи привезли в Европу золото и драгоценные камни, наряду с другими необычными и захватывающими находками. Красочные попугаи стали очень популярными символами статуса в домах богатых, а вместе с ними привезли морскую свинку и других животных, ранее неизвестных в Европе.

B. Many species of wild animals are in danger of complete extinction. This is usually due to loss of habitat as a result of human expansion, or it could be due to excessive hunting. A good, modern zoo has a valuable role to play in assisting with the protection of endangered species. This is both through education of the general public in the importance of conservation in general, and through breeding programmes to increase the population of endangered species in captivity and then reintroduce them into the wild.

Многие виды диких животных находятся под угрозой полного исчезновения. Это, как правило, из-за потери среды обитания в результате человеческой экспансии, или это может быть из-за чрезмерной охоты. Хороший, современный зоопарк играет ценную роль в оказании помощи в защите исчезающих видов. Это происходит как за счет образования широкой общественности в важности сохранения в целом, а также посредством программ разведения для увеличения популяции исчезающих видов в неволе, а затем вновь выпускать их в дикую природу.

C. The guinea pig is today one of the world’s most popular pets, ranking only a little way behind the rabbit. Though called guinea pigs, these animals are not pigs, nor do they come from Guinea. Why Guinea, then? Some say they could have originally changed hands at the cost of a guinea (twenty-one shillings — very expensive!). As for the “pig”, an explanation is much easier to guess — they run and squeal much as little piglets do!

Морская свинка сегодня является одним из самых популярных домашних животных в мире, лишь немного отстает от кролика. Хотя они и называются морскими свинками, эти животные не являются свиньями, и они не из Гвинеи. Почему тогда Гвинея? Некоторые говорят, что они первоначально были названы по стоимости «guinea» (двадцать один шиллинг — очень дорого). Что касается «свинка», объяснение гораздо проще угадать — они бегают и визжат как маленькие поросята!

D. Rabbits are among the most popular pets to keep due to their affectionate nature and love of cuddles. To show they are happy, they often grind their teeth softly when being petted, similar to cats purring. In general, rabbits are timid, non-aggressive and sociable with each other. With gentle handling they are generally quite tame. They are playful and entertaining to watch, but they need a great deal of interaction with their owners. Their cage should be relatively big, but they need some playtime outside it as well.

Кролики являются одними из самых популярных домашних животных, которых держат из-за их ласковой природы и любви объятий. Чтобы показать, что они счастливы, они часто скрипят зубами, когда их мягко поглаживаешь, похожие на кошачье мурлыканье. В общем, кролики пугливые, неагрессивные и общительные друг с другом. При бережном обращении они, как правило, совсем ручные. Они игривы и за ними интересно наблюдать, но они нуждаются во взаимодействии с их владельцами. Их клетка должна быть относительно большой, но им также нужно играть и за ее пределами.

E. For a long time guinea pigs were used as experimental animals. In 1890, the antitoxin for diphtheria was discovered using guinea pigs in the research, and as a result the lives of millions of children have been saved. In 1907 vitamin С was discovered due to guinea pigs. Like humans they cannot produce the vitamin and need it supplied in their diet. The guinea pig’s wide variety of hair types and colours has also made them a prime choice for studies of genetics and heredity. Later they were replaced by rats and mice.

Долгое время морских свинок использовали в качестве экспериментальных животных. В 1890 году антитоксин дифтерии был обнаружен с использованием морских свинок в исследованиях, и в результате жизни миллионов детей были спасены. В 1907 Витамин С был обнаружен из-за морских свинок. Как и люди, они не могут производить витамин и нужно, чтобы он присутствовал в их рационе. Широкое разнообразие морских свинок по типу шерсти и цвету также сделало их основным выбором для изучения генетики и наследственности. Позже они были заменены на крыс и мышей.

F. Security at Denver International Airport tries to protect cars from vandalism and theft, but there’s a new threat at its expansive parking lot. Ravenous rabbits. The animals are causing hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars in damage to cars by devouring the wires under the hood. At least 100 rabbits are removed every month, but the problem persists. The airport is surrounded by prairie, and the rabbits are seeking warmth and food in the parked vehicles.

Служба безопасности в международном аэропорту Денвера пытается защитить автомобили от вандализма и кражи, но есть новая угроза на открытой стоянке. Прожорливые кролики. Животные наносят ущерб в сотни, а иногда и тысячи долларов, в виде повреждения автомобилей, пожирая провода под капотом. По крайней мере, 100 кроликов, удаляются каждый месяц, но проблема не решена. Аэропорт окружен прерией, и кролики ищут тепло и еду в припаркованных транспортных средствах.

G. Our mission at Wild Adventures Zoo is to bring family entertainment back to Las Vegas, in an educational manner. Teaching respect for animals through hands-on applications, workshops and conservation efforts, as well as helping injured and abandoned wildlife and exotic pets, is the reason Wild Adventures Zoo was created. Our focus is on educating the public through fun and exciting activities that allow them to interact with the animals.

Наша миссия в зоопарке Уайлд Эдвенчерс принести развлечение для всей семьи обратно в Лас-Вегас, в образовательной манере. Обучение уважению к животным через практическое применение, мастерские и семинары по сохранению, а также помощь раненым и брошенным диким и экзотическим животным, это и есть причины создания зоопарка Уайлд Эдвенчерс. Наше внимание сосредоточено на просвещение общественности с помощью увлекательных и интересных мероприятий, которые позволяют им взаимодействовать с животными.

Extra — 4. give advice on the best spot for the picnic – дать совет о лучшем месте для пикника

День отца
День отца отмечается уже более 100 лет. Кроме того, это событие отмечается во многих странах по всему миру, хотя в разное время года. В Северной Америке и Соединенном Королевстве, День отца празднуется в третье воскресенье июня. Вот несколько советов, которые помогут вам отметить День отца особым образом. Используйте эту возможность, чтобы собраться вместе всей семьей и повеселиться. Вы не должны оставаться дома; вы могли бы пойти на пляж, местный парк, в одно из самых любимых мест папы!
Устроить пикник в летние месяцы может быть интересным и является глотком свежего воздуха для всей семьи. Это отличный способ борьбы со скукой, но также помогает семье собраться вместе и поесть вкусной еды и поиграть в веселые игры. Не потребуется ничего больше, чем корзина для пикника и несколько продуктов питания. Среди здоровых продуктов хороших для пикника есть яблоки, арбуз, сельдерей, и изюм, вот всего несколько. Попросите у других членов семьи помочь вам выбрать некоторые из их любимых продуктов питания, которые они хотели бы иметь. Вы должны понимать, что оно действует как клей для семейных уз.
Когда дело доходит до дарения подарков на День отца, возможно, лучше держаться подальше от традиционных купленных в магазине подарков, таких как галстук и носки.

Дорогие подарки не нужны, но время и усилия, которые вы приложили для создания персонального подарка, будут высоко оценены.

Прочитайте текст и выполните задания 12-18. В каждом задании запишите в поле ответа цифру 1, 2, 3 или 4, соответствующую выбранному Вами варианту ответа.

Have you ever thought about cities of the future? Clean streets, flying cars and robots doing all the work? Almost half of the world’s population currently lives in cities, and by 2050 that is predicted to increase to 75%, but what kind of city will they be living in? Today, most city dwellers are dissatisfied because they have to live in overcrowded and polluted surroundings. Traffic jams are getting worse, queues longer, power cuts more common, bad air quality more threatening to human health.
There are various ideas about how a future city should look. Some of these revolve around the idea that better means greener. Experts predict carbon-neutral cities full of electric vehicles and bike-sharing schemes, with air quality so much improved that office workers can actually open their windows for the first time. Visions of a green city often include skyscrapers where living and office space comprises high-rise green-houses and vegetables growing on the roofs. Behind such greenification of cities lies a very pressing need.
Technology companies such as IBM believe that the best cities will become networks. In Rio de Janeiro, for example, IBM has already built an operations centre, which it describes as the “nerve centre” of the city. (отрывок из текста)

Вы когда-нибудь думали о городах будущего? Чистые улицы, летающие автомобили и роботы делают всю работу? Почти половина населения земного шара в настоящее время живет в городах, и по прогнозам к 2050 году увеличится до 75%, но, в каком городе они будут жить? В настоящее время большинство городских жителей недовольны, потому что они должны жить в перенаселенной и загрязненной среде. Пробки на дорогах становятся все хуже, очереди больше, отключения электроэнергии чаще, плохое качество воздуха представляет более серьезную угрозу для здоровья человека.
Есть различные идеи о том, как будущий город должен выглядеть. Некоторые из них вращаются вокруг идеи о том, что лучшее означает зеленее. Эксперты прогнозируют углерод-нейтральные города, полные электрических транспортных средств и схем движения велосипедистов, с качеством воздуха настолько улучшенным, что офисные работники могут фактически открыть свои окна в первый раз. Видения зеленого города часто включают в себя небоскребы, где жилые и офисные помещения включает в себя многоэтажные парники и теплицы, расположенные на крышах. За таким озеленением городов лежит очень острая необходимость.
Технологические компании, такие как IBM считают, что лучшие города станут электронными сообществами. В Рио-де-Жанейро, например, IBM уже построила центр управления, который она описывает как «нервный центр» города. Построенный изначально, чтобы помочь справиться с наводнениями, которые регулярно ставят под угрозу город, теперь он координирует 30 правительственных учреждений. Каждый человек с мобильным телефоном соединен с операционным центром. Оперативный центр отправляет сообщения на мобильные телефоны граждан и предоставляет информацию о потенциальных авариях, пробках и других обновлениях города.
Тот факт, что крупные корпорации стали настолько активно участвовать в проектировании городской инфраструктуры натолкнул критиков на вопрос, как быстро такой город может, как компьютерные системы, на которые они полагаются, стать устаревшими. Компьютеры и другие гаджеты обновляются все время, новые модели появляются два раза в год. Параллель также можно провести с офисными зданиями шестидесятых годов, которые могут быть описаны как места с низкими потолками стоящие грустные и пустые, так как передовые технологии посчитали их бесполезными.
Большинство проектов IBM обязуется привлекать сбор данных. Компания работает в тесном контакте с общественными группами, а также городскими советами. В штате Айова корпорация завершила проект, где домашним хозяйствам была предоставлена информация об их потреблении воды. Большинство быстро отреагировали и сэкономили воду при столкновении с данными. Интересно, что те, кто получил информацию о потреблении воды своих соседей, в два раза чаще вносили изменения.
Города имеют возможность предоставления чего-то для всех, только потому, и только тогда, когда они созданы всеми. Тем, кто строит города будущего, следует обратить внимание на эти советы.

The history of radio
Radio started with the discovery of “radio waves”. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that can transmit music, speech, pictures and other data 26) invisibly through the air.
Many devices work by using electromagnetic waves, including radio, microwaves, cordless phones, remote controlled toys, television broadcasts, and more.
During the 1860s, Scottish physicist, J.C. Maxwell predicted the 27) existence of radio waves.
In 1886, German 28) scientist, H.R. Hertz demonstrated that rapid variations of electric current could be projected into space in the form of radio waves.
G. Marconi, an Italian 29) inventor, sent and received his first radio signal in Italy in 1895.
By 1899 he flashed the first 30) wireless signal across the English Channel and two years later received the letter “S”, telegraphed from England to Newfoundland.
This was the first 31) successful transatlantic radiotelegraph message.

История радио
Радио началось с открытия «радиоволн». Радиоволны представляют собой электромагнитные волны, которые могут передавать музыку, речь, изображения и другие данные незримо через воздух.
Многие устройства работают с помощью электромагнитных волн, в том числе радио, микроволновые печи, беспроводные телефоны, игрушки с дистанционным управлением, телевизионные передачи и многое другое.
В течение 1860-х годов, шотландский физик, Дж. К. Максвелл предсказал существование радиоволн.
В 1886 году, немецкий ученый, Г. Р. Герц показал, что быстрые изменения электрического тока могут быть спроецированы в космическое пространство в виде радиоволн.
Г. Маркони, итальянский изобретатель, послал и получил свой первый радиосигнал в Италии в 1895 году.
К 1899 году он отправил первый беспроводной сигнал через Ла-Манш и два года спустя получил букву «S», телеграфированную из Англии в Ньюфаундленд.
Это было первое успешное трансатлантическое радиотелеграфное сообщение.

Tests and test-takers
You don’t have to be a psychologist to guess how students are feeling during a test or an exam. Just by observing their body language you can tell whether they will pass or 32) fail.
Just before the test starts, they will often 33) tell silly things and try nervously to hide their nervousness. A little tension or stress before and during a test is normal. When the examinees get their papers, some of them will 34) smile to themselves — a sure sign they know the answers. 35) However, if they feel the exam is hard, you may hear how disappointed they are or see how annoyed they are when they frown. Some will try to glance quickly at their neighbours’ tests, and some will yawn to pretend that they are bored or tired, while, in fact, they are just waiting for the teacher to turn 36) away so that one of their mates can quietly 37) whisper the answers to them. When they finish, some will immediately dash out as if they were desperate to check their answers in their course book, while others will 38) stroll out slowly, relaxed and sure they have passed.

Тесты и тестируемые
Вам не нужно быть психологом, чтобы догадаться, как студенты чувствуют себя во время теста или экзамена. Просто наблюдая за языком их тела, вы можете сказать, сдадут они, или по терпят неудачу.
Как раз перед началом теста, они часто говорят глупые вещи и пытаются нервно скрыть свою нервозность. Небольшое напряжение или стресс до и во время теста нормально. Когда испытуемые получают свои задания, некоторые из них будут улыбаться себе — верный признак того, что они знают ответы. Тем не менее, если они чувствуют, что экзамен трудный, вы можете услышать, как они разочарованы или увидеть, как они раздражены, когда они хмурятся. Некоторые из них будут пытаться заглянуть быстро в тест своих соседей, а некоторые будут зевать, делая вид, что им скучно или они устали, в то время как, на самом деле, они просто ждут, когда учитель отвернется, чтобы один из их товарищей смог спокойно прошептать им ответы. Когда они заканчивают, некоторые из них немедленно выскакивают, словно они спешат проверить свои ответы в учебнике, в то время как другие выходят неторопливо, спокойные и уверенные, что они сдали.

1. New food choices

2. Seafood

3. Confusing name

4. New word in English

5. Iconic dish

6. Change in quality

7. Increase in popularity

8. Origin of the meal

A. The practice of serving a roast dinner on a Sunday is related to the elaborate preparation required, and to the housewife’s practice of performing the weekly wash on a Monday, when the cold remains of the roast made an easily assembled meal. Sunday was once the only rest day after a six-day working week; it was also a demonstration that the household was prosperous enough to afford the cost of a better than normal meal.

B. Great Britain is surrounded by seas on all sides. No wonder that sea foods such as fried scampi or fishcakes are usually on offer. However, England is internationally famous for its fish and chips, which may be the most popular and identifiable English dish. There are a lot of restaurants and take-away shops selling this dish. The quality can vary drastically from the mass produced product to a homemade variety using more carefully chosen ingredients.

C. Many seaside towns have shellfish stalls located near the beach. Traditionally they sell snack-sized pots of cockles, mussels, prawns, crab meat and oysters. The shellfish are served cold and the customer adds condiments to taste. Shellfish is best eaten as fresh as possible, and certainly on the day of purchase. Some shellfish such as octopus and prawns can be frozen successfully; others like mussels and oysters need to be live when cooked.

D. Most large supermarkets in England offer at least a dozen types of English sausage. English sausages, colloquially known as ‘bangers’, are usually made from fresh meat such as pork or beef. Following the post World War II period, sausages tended to contain low-quality meat and fat. However, there has been a backlash in recent years, with most butchers and supermarkets now also selling premium varieties that may contain venison or wild boar.

E. In the 1950s some British pubs would offer ‘a pie and a pint’, with ale pies made easily on the premises by the landlord’s wife. Since then ‘pub grub’ has expanded to include British food items such as shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, bangers and mash, Sunday roast, ploughman’s lunch, and pasties. Food has become more important in a pub’s trade, and today most pubs serve lunches and dinners in addition to snacks consumed at the bar.

F. English sandwiches are made with two slices of bread. Common types of filling are roast beef, cheese and pickle, tuna, marmite and jam. A dainty form of sandwich, cut into small squares and often filled with cucumber, is served at genteel gatherings, such as Royal Garden parties. England can claim to have given the world the word ‘sandwich’, although John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, was not the first to add a filling to bread.

G. In the USA, a ‘pudding’ is a dairy dessert, made with sugar and a couple of other ingredients. However, the British seem to call a lot of other things ‘pudding’. ‘Apple pudding’ has a layer of apple covered with a cake topping, which looks just like apple pie. ‘Yorkshire pudding’ includes chicken or beef cooked in a crispy batter. ‘Black pudding’ is a kind of dark sausage made from animal blood and fat. What makes the British call this a ‘pudding’?

Antrim

The county of Antrim is not only one of the most picturesque, but most prosperous in all Ireland. It is also remarkable for being entirely surrounded by water by the ocean, Lough Neagh, and the rivers Bann and Lagan. In this county, vast quantities of flax are raised and manufactured into linen — chiefly in Belfast, the most important commercial town in the north of Ireland.

Belfast is particularly dear to me as a place where I had a great holiday with my Irish friends. In sight of this town there is a large hill, which is known for presenting a remarkable likeness to the first Napoleon. Certain swells and ledges of the summit form the great profile very distinctly. When one of the Bonapartes, a grand-nephew of the Emperor, visited Belfast, he recognized the likeness in the rocky profile and professed to be a good deal affected by it.

Not far from Belfast there is also a famous ‘Druidical circle’, or a large amphitheatre, where the ancient Druids used to meet for their pagan worship. As we stood in that great circle, beside a rude altar of stones, it made us shudder to think that hundreds of human beings had probably been cruelly sacrificed there as offerings to the gods. Luckily such dreadful crimes can never again be committed here under the name of religion.

While in Belfast, we made a delightful excursion to Shane’s Castle, situated upon Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Northern Ireland, whose origin is still uncertain. There is a legend that its water covers cottages, castles, and even villages. The peasants say that there was once an enchanted well, which was always kept covered with a heavy stone; otherwise its water would rise from an underground sea and overflow the land. One day, a careless woman came to the well to get water, and hearing her baby cry, ran home without covering the well, which began to pour out so fast and furious that soon the whole valley was overflowed. That night, the moon smiled to see itself reflected in a new lake.

On our route from Belfast to the Giant’s Causeway, we passed through several towns of some historical note such as Larne and Glenarm. This last is a beautifully situated town, with a pleasant little bay, which usually offers a safe shelter for shipping on a coast renowned for wrecks and disasters. Here is also a fine castle, which is the seat of the ancient family of the McDonnells, Earls of Antrim. Scarcely any thing in the world can be grander or more beautiful than the coast road all the way from Glenarm to the Giant’s Causeway. It is too fine to be described; it should be painted, not written about.

We reached the Causeway late in the evening so tired that we went to bed without putting our heads out of doors. In the morning we engaged a guide and set out on our sightseeing tour.

The Causeway is formed by a vast collection of rocky columns mostly as regular in shape as though cut by stonemasons, five-sided, six-sided, seven or eight-sided, varying much in height, but little in width. Some form a floor almost as even as a city pavement, some form gradual steps leading down to the sea and some tower upward like spires.

There is a collection of columns on the side of the highest cliff, called ‘the Giant’s Organ’, from their resemblance to the pipes of that instrument. According to legend, the mighty Giant, Finn McCool, was very musical, and used to give himself ‘a little innocent diversion’ here, after his hard labours in building the Causeway. Even now, when the sea roars, and the deep thunder rolls along the rocky coast, people say ‘the giant is playing on his big stone organ under the cliff’.

Buying Gloves in Gibraltar

I entered the store. A pretty young lady 32 __________ me a pair of blue gloves. I did not want blue, but she said they would look very pretty on a hand like mine. The remark touched me tenderly. I 33 __________ secretly at my hand, and somehow it did seem rather attractive. I tried a glove on my left hand and blushed. Obviously, the size was too small for me. The lady said, ‘Oh! I see you are accustomed 34 __________ wearing kid gloves while some gentlemen are so awkward about putting them on.’

It was the last compliment I had expected. I 35 __________ another effort, and tore the glove from the base of the thumb into the palm of the hand, and tried to hide the tear. She kept up her compliments, and I kept up my determination to 36 __________ them or die.

I was hot, confused, and yet still happy, but I hated the other boys for taking such an absorbing interest in the proceedings. To 37 __________ the truth, I felt exquisitely mean when I said cheerfully, ‘This one does very well. And it 38 __________ my suit perfectly. No, never mind, ma’am, never mind, I’ll put the other one in the street. It is warm here.’

I paid the bill, and, as I passed out with a fascinating bow, I thought I detected a light in the woman’s eye that was gently ironical. I tried to remember why I had entered the store in the first place, and whether I should return tomorrow to complete my initial mission.

Now we are ready to start.

Speaker A

I went to a public university in Arizona because they offered incredible scholarships. The cost of staying in state was low compared to any private university. Besides, my state school made the transition to college incredibly easy for me. I’d already received dual credit that transferred automatically to college, so I knew I’d enter ASU as a second- year student. Perhaps, those credits would have transferred to a private university, but it was a lot easier to just ride the wave to ASU.

Speaker B

After applying to a mix of public and private colleges, my final decision was to choose between Brown University and the University of Virginia. Both schools have so much to offer students in terms of their excellent academics. I knew I would receive a top-notch education in Virginia, and going there would be a much lighter burden on my parents. But ultimately I decided I wanted to be closer to home, and at a smaller school. I also felt more at home, culturally, in the Northeast.

Speaker C

For my undergraduate degree, I attended UC Santa Barbara, where the Department of Chemical Engineering consistently ranks as one of the top three programs in the country. As a California resident, I paid the in-state tuition rate and received a top-rate education for an exceptional price. I chose to attend a public university because it offered the highest quality education available in my field. It would be absurd to pay more for a lower quality education!

Speaker D

I was looking for a relatively small university that had a number of majors (in case I would like to change my mind) but not a lot of graduation degrees. I also wanted a rural college, where I wouldn’t have too many distractions. It should be at least an hour from home, but not more than four, so I could get back if there was a family emergency. I ultimately chose Clarion in Northwestern Pennsylvania and I was really happy with my choice.

Speaker E

I probably went to university for all the wrong reasons. I was the youngest in the family and got tired of being told what to do all the time by everyone else in the family. The family valued education, so leaving home and going out of state was the path of least resistance for my escape route. That is why my university was far from home and there were no relatives nearby. The only thing that was NOT on my mind was the expectation of a highly paid job due to higher education.

Speaker F

Rice University was significantly cheaper to attend than most other private universities, and it consistently ranks at the very top of best-value schools. Rice University also has all-around academics, which was great for me since I wasn’t sure what I wanted to focus on. I wasn’t interested in state schools nearby because I wanted something smaller. I felt like I would disappear amongst the crowds at a large public university. And the small class size at Rice was a huge bonus.

Greg: Hi, Petra! Where are you going?

Petra: I’m going outside for a breath of fresh air.

Greg: Look! There’s something going on there. Shall we go and see?

Petra: People are taking their pet dogs to the sports stadium. Come on, Greg, let’s go.

Greg: There’s a man saying something about dogs over the mike.

Petra: That’s a dog competition. I can see the dogs on the running track. Let’s watch them now.

Greg: Which one do you think will win?

Petra: I’m not that good at dogs but I think the Labrador will come first. It is very athletic. Look at his owner. He is very proud of his dog. Oh no! I was wrong: the Doberman crosses the finishing line first, the Labrador comes next and the Pointer — third.

Greg: Come Petra, let’s go and cheer the winners. As for me, I have always wanted to have a dog.

Petra: Really? But you had one last year, didn’t you?

Greg: Not at all. That was my cousin’s pet. They stayed with us for a week last year. And now my parents let me have my own puppy. Could you please help me in finding one?

Petra: My aunt has got one Alsatian pup and a German shepherd pup to sell. Would you like to buy one from her?

Greg: It would be great! But I don’t know much about these breeds. Can you tell me about them?

Petra: Well, the German shepherd and Alsatian are extremely similar in appearance and color. Both breeds are easily trained and make wonderful family pets.

Greg: What’s the difference then?

Petra: The German shepherd is a working dog whereas the Alsatian is a companion dog. It possesses a very calm, stable temperament and is quite friendly.

Greg: Then I’ll have the Alsatian. Can you take me to your aunt’s house this evening?

Petra: I’m sorry. I have to attend my music class this evening. But my aunt’s house is quite close-by.

Greg: In that case, could you please tell me how to get there?

Petra: Oh, sure! Go down this main road and turn left. Her house is the fifth one on the right side opposite the bakery.

Greg: OK. See you then.

Now we are ready to start.

Interviewer: Today, we are going to talk to Will Smith, a teen star, who started his career as a rapper, then became an actor and movie producer and is now practically a one-man entertainment industry. His philosophy is simple: ‘I can do it.’ So, Will, you grew up in the 70s in Philadelphia. What was your neighborhood like?

Smith: It was probably 50 percent Orthodox. My class was 90 percent white, but 90 percent of the kids I played with at home were black. So I got the best of both worlds. I think that is where my comedy developed. In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.

Interviewer: Is it true that at one point you were planning to go to Massachusetts Institute of Technology?

Smith: My mother, who worked for the School Board of Philadelphia, had a friend who was the admissions officer at MIT. I had pretty high SAT scores, so I probably could have got a place. But I had no intention of going to college.

Interviewer: Because you got a record deal?

Smith: My first record came out while I was a senior in high school. I told my parents I wanted to rap. They said, ‘Rap?’ My mother thought college was the only way. My father could kind of see doing something differently. We agreed that I would take a year making music, and if it did not work out, I would go to college. That year we won the first Grammy given to a rap artist.

Interviewer: Have you ever thought about going back to college?

Smith: The things that are most valuable to me were not learned in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests — not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life. My wife and I homeschool our children because the date of the Boston Tea Party does not matter.

Interviewer: But there are some basics in education that need to be taught.

Smith: Of course there are. Reading, writing and arithmetic are the languages of our country.

Interviewer: When you say you homeschool, do you mean you actually teach them?

Smith: No, we have hired teachers who teach what we feel is important.

Interviewer: So, you don’t see any reason to go back to formal education yourself?

Smith: I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I believe I could learn how to fly a space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I don’t need somebody to stand up in front of the class.

Interviewer: Your son Jaden plays the part of your son in the movie. How did that come about?

Smith: I was reading the script one night, and he said, ‘I can do that, Daddy.’ He’d already done a couple of sitcom appearances, but had no formal theatrical training other than good genes.

Interviewer: Does he want to do more acting?

Smith: Yeah. He says he wants to make comedy, though.

Interviewer: Do you worry about the problems many child actors face?

Smith: Actually, I don’t believe in getting trapped in a pattern when you recognize the pattern. When my partner, James Lassiter, and I came to Hollywood, I said, ‘I want to be the biggest movie star in the world.’ We observed that of the top ten movies of all time, eight were special effects or animation with creatures and a love story. So we made Independence Day. When you see the patterns, you just try to put yourself in the position to get lucky. So Jaden has great chances to succeed in this profession.

Interviewer: Well, thank you for joining us and sharing your views with our audience. Our next guest today is….

1. New food choices

2. Seafood

3. Confusing name

4. New word in English

5. Iconic dish

6. Change in quality

7. Increase in popularity

8. Origin of the meal

A. The practice of serving a roast dinner on a Sunday is related to the elaborate preparation required, and to the housewife’s practice of performing the weekly wash on a Monday, when the cold remains of the roast made an easily assembled meal. Sunday was once the only rest day after a six-day working week; it was also a demonstration that the household was prosperous enough to afford the cost of a better than normal meal.

B. Great Britain is surrounded by seas on all sides. No wonder that foods such as deep fried breaded scampi are usually on offer as well as fishcakes and a number of other combinations. However, England is internationally famous for its fish and chips and has a large number of restaurants and take-away shops selling this dish. It may be the most popular and identifiable English dish. Like many national dishes, quality can vary drastically from the commercial or mass produced product to an authentic or homemade variety using more carefully chosen ingredients.

C. Many seaside towns have shellfish stalls located at the beach. Traditionally these sell snack-sized pots of cockles, mussels, jellied eels, shell-on or peeled prawns, crab meat and oysters. The shellfish are served cold and the customer adds condiments to taste. Shellfish is best eaten as fresh as possible, and certainly on the day of purchase. Some shellfish such as squid, octopus and prawns can be frozen successfully; others such as mussels, oysters and clams need to be live when cooked.

D. Most large supermarkets in England will stock at least a dozen types of English sausage. English sausages are colloquially known as «bangers». They are distinctive in that they are usually made from fresh meats and rarely smoked, dried, or strongly flavoured. Following the post World War II period, sausages tended to contain low-quality meat and fat. However, there has been a backlash in recent years, with most butchers and supermarkets now selling premium varieties. Pork and beef are by far the most common bases, although gourmet varieties may contain venison or wild boar.

E. In the 1950s some British pubs would offer «a pie and a pint», with hot individual steak and ale pies made easily on the premises by the landlord’s wife. In the 1960s and 1970s this developed into the then-fashionable «chicken in a basket», a portion of roast chicken with chips, served on a napkin, in a wicker basket. Since then «pub grub» has expanded to include British food items such as shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, bangers and mash, Sunday roast, ploughman’s lunch, and pasties. Food has become more important in a pub’s trade, and today most pubs serve lunches and dinners at the table in addition to snacks consumed at the bar.

F. English sandwiches are made with two slices of bread, or some kind of roll. Common types of sandwich are roast beef, chicken salad, ham and mustard, cheese and pickle, egg mayonnaise, prawn mayonnaise, tuna, marmite and jam. A dainty form of sandwich, cut into small squares, without crusts, and often filled with cucumber, is served at genteel gatherings, such as Royal Garden parties. England can claim to have given the world the word «sandwich», although John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, was not the first to add a filling to bread.

G. In the USA, a 2pudding» is a creamy, dairy dessert, traditionally made with sugar and a couple of other ingredients. It really means nothing else. But the British seem to call a lot of other things «pudding». 2Apple pudding» traditionally has a layer of apple covered with a cake topping or a suet pastry, which looks just like apple pie. «Yorkshire pudding» includes chicken, pork or beef cooked in a crispy outer-batter. «Black pudding» is a kind of thick dark sausage made from animal blood and fat. What makes this a «pudding»?

Ancient Rome

The founding of Rome goes back to the very early days of civilization. It is so old that today it is known as «the eternal city». The Romans thought that their city was founded in the year 753 BC. Modern historians, however, believe it was the year 625 BC.

Early Rome was governed by kings, ___ (A), the Romans took power over their own city and ruled themselves. They had a council known as the «senate», ___ (B). From this point on one speaks of the «Roman Republic».

The word «Republic» itself comes from the Latin words «res publica», which mean «public matters». The senate appointed a consul, ___ (C), but only for one year. This was a wise idea, as the consul ruled carefully and not as a tyrant, for he knew that otherwise he could be punished by the next consul, once his year was up.

The Roman Republic was a very successful government. It lasted from 510 BC until 23 BC – almost 500 years. In comparison the United States of America only exist since 1776 – less than 250 years.

The greatest challenge the Roman Republic faced was that of the Carthaginians. Carthage was a very powerful city in North Africa, ___ (D). The fight between the two sides was a long one and took place on land and on sea.

The most famous incident came when the great Carthaginian general Hannibal crossed the mountain chain of the Alps to the north of Italy with all his troops and invaded Italy. However, Rome finally won and Carthage was completely destroyed in the year 146 BC.

Rome’s most famous citizen was no doubt Julius Caesar. He was a Roman politician and general ___ (E). In the year 49 BC Caesar crossed the small river between his province and Italy, called the river Rubicon, and conquered Rome. His military campaigns also took him to Egypt, ___ (F). His life ended abruptly as he was infamously murdered in the senate in Rome.

So famous and respected was Caesar that a month of the year is still named after him today. Also, the great English poet William Shakespeare wrote a famous play called Julius Caesar about his famous murder.

1. who ruled Rome like a king

2. but after only seven of them had ruled

3. where he met the famous Cleopatra

4. which controlled its own empire

5. which he then ruled as a dictator

6. which ruled over them

7. who conquered the vast territory in France

Stories and Legends

The county of Antrim is not only one of the most picturesque, but most prosperous in all Ireland. It is also remarkable for being entirely surrounded by water by the ocean, Lough Neagh, and the rivers Bann and Lagan. In this county, vast quantities of flax are raised and manufactured into linen – chiefly at Belfast, the most important commercial town in the north of Ireland.

Belfast is particularly dear to me as a place where I spent many pleasant days with some warm-hearted Irish friends. In sight of this town there is a large hill, which is remarkable for presenting, at a particular point of view, a most gigantic likeness to the first Napoleon. Certain swells and ledges of the summit form the great profile very distinctly. He seems to be lying on his back, asleep, or in a meditative mood, and the face has such a dejected, melancholy look that one might suppose the likeness had been taken when the Emperor was a prisoner at St. Helena. There was one of the Bonapartes at Belfast, at the time I was there attending the meeting of the British Association, a celebrated scientific society. This was Lucien, a grand-nephew of the Emperor. He recognized the likeness in the great rocky profile, when it was pointed out to him, and professed to be a good deal affected by it.

Near Belfast there is also a famous «Druidical circle», or a large amphitheatre, enclosed by high mounds of earth, where the ancient Druids used to meet for their heathen worship. As we stood in that great circle, beside a rude altar of stones, it made us shudder to think that hundreds of human beings had probably been cruelly sacrificed there as offerings to the gods of the Druids. What a happy, blessed thing it is to know that such dreadful crimes can never again be committed here, under the name of religion.

While at Belfast, we made a delightful excursion to Shane’s Castle, the seat of Lord O’Neil. Shane’s Castle and the O’Neil estate are situated upon Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Great Britain. There is a legend that this sheet of water covers land that was once cultivated, cottages, castles, and even villages. The peasants say that there was once an enchanted well, which was always kept covered with a heavy stone, lest its waters should rise and overwhelm the land. One day, a careless woman went to this well to get water to boil her potatoes in, and hearing her baby cry, ran home without waiting to cover the well, which began to leap up in a great column, like a water-spout of an underground sea, and poured out so fast and furious that before many hours the whole valley was overflowed, and that night, the moon smiled to see herself reflected in a new lake.

On our route from Belfast to the Giant’s Causeway, we passed through several towns, of little importance now, though of some historical note such as Carrickfergus, Larne, and Glenarm. This last is a beautifully situated town, with a pleasant little bay, which usually affords a safe shelter for shipping on a coast somewhat renowned for wrecks and disasters. Here is a fine castle, which is the seat of the ancient family of the MacDonnels, Earls of Antrim. Scarcely any thing in the world can be grander or more beautiful than the coast road all the way from Glenarm to the Giant’s Causeway. It is too fine to be described; it should be painted, not written about.

We reached the Causeway late in the evening so hungry and tired that we were very glad to get our supper and went to bed without putting our heads out of doors. In the morning we engaged a guide and set out on our sightseeing tour.

The Causeway is formed by a vast collection of rocky columns mostly as regular in shape as though cut by masonry five-sided, six-sided, seven or eight-sided, piled and packed together, varying much in height, but little in size. Some form a floor almost as even as a city pavement some form gradual steps leading down to the sea and some tower upward, like spires and turrets.

There is a very singular collection of these columns on the side of the highest cliff, a hundred and twenty feet in height, called «the Giant’s Organ», from their resemblance to the pipes of that instrument.

According to legend, the mighty Giant, Finn McCool, was musical in his taste, and used to give himself «a little innocent diversion» here, after his hard labours in building the Causeway. Even now, when the sea roars, and the deep thunder rolls along the rocky coast, they say «the giant is playing on his big stone organ under the cliff».

The Sunday roast is perhaps the most common feature of English cooking
The Sunday roast is perhaps the most common feature of English cooking. The Sunday dinner traditionally includes roast potatoes accompanying a roasted joint of meat such as roast beef, lamb , or a roast chicken and assorted vegetables, themselves generally roasted or boiled and served with a gravy. Yorkshire pudding and gravy is now often served as an accompaniment to the main course, although it was originally served first as a «filler». (The practice of serving a roast dinner on a Sunday is related to the elaborate preparation required, and to the housewife’s practice of performing the weekly wash on a Monday, when the cold remains of the roast made an easily-assembled meal). An elaborate version of roast dinner is eaten at Christmas, with almost every detail rigidly specified by tradition. Since its wide-spread availability after World War II the most popular Christmas roast is turkey, superseding the goose of Dickens’s time. Game meats such as venison which were traditionally the domain of higher classes are occasionally also eaten by those wishing to experiment with a wider choice of foods, due to their promotion by Celebrity Chefs, such as Antony Worrall Thompson, although it is not usually eaten regularly in the average household.

have also become popular in urban areas.
Notably, England is famous for its fish and chips and has a huge number of restaurants and take-away shops that cater to it. It is possibly the most popular and identifiable English dish, and is traditionally served with a side order of mushy peas with salt and vinegar as condiments. Foods such as Scampi, a deep fried breaded prawn dish, are also on offered as well as fishcakes or a number of other combinations. The advent of take-away foods during the industrial revolution led to foods such as fish and chips, mushy peas, and steak and kidney pie with mashed potato (pie and mash). These were the staples of the UK take-away business, and indeed of English diets however, like many national dishes, quality can vary drastically from the commercial or mass produced product to an authentic or homemade variety using more discerning ingredients. However, through ethnic influences, particularly those of Indian and Chinese, have given rise to the establishment and availability of ethnic take-away foods.From the 1980s onwards, a new variant on curry, the balti, began to become popular in the West Midlands, and by the mid 1990s was commonplace in Indian restaurants and reasurants over the country. Kebab houses, pizza restaurants and American-style fried chicken restaurants aiming at late night snacking have also become popular in urban areas.

The full English breakfast (also known as «cooked breakfast» or «fried breakfast») also remains a culinary classic. Its contents vary, but it normally consists of a combination of bacon, grilled tomatoes, fried bread, black pudding, baked beans, fried mushrooms, sausages, eggs (fried, scrambled or boiled) and other variations on these ingredients and others. Hash browns are sometimes added, though this is not considered traditional. In general, the domestic breakfast is less elaborate, and most «full english» breakfasts are bought in cafés since having being replaced by cereals. A young child’s breakfast might include «soldiers», finger-shaped pieces of bread to be dipped in the yolk of a lightly boiled egg.

It is believed by some that the English «drop everything» for a teatime meal in the mid-afternoon. This is no longer the case in the workplace, and is rarer in the home. A formal teatime meal is now often an accompaniment to tourism, particularly in Devon and neighboring counties, where comestibles may include scones with jam and butter or clotted cream. There are also butterfly cakes, simple small sponge cakes which can be iced or eaten plain. Nationwide, assorted biscuits and sandwiches are eaten. Generally, however, the teatime meal has been replaced by snacking, or simply ignored.

7

Tea itself, usually served with milk, is consumed throughout the day and is sometimes drunk with meals. In recent years herbal teas and speciality teas have also become popular. Coffee is perhaps a little less common than in continental Europe, but is still drunk by many in both its instant and percolated forms, often with milk (but rarely with cream). Italian coffee preparations such as espresso and cappuccino and modern American variants such as the Frappuccino are increasingly popular, but generally purchased in restaurants or from specialist coffee shops rather than made in the home. Sugar is often added to individual cups of tea or coffee, though never to the pot.

Things you should do: If you cannot eat a certain type of food or have some special needs, tell your host several days before the dinner party. If you are a guest, it is polite to wait until your host starts eating or indicates you should do so. It shows consideration. Always chew and swallow all the food in your mouth before taking more or taking a drink. You may eat chicken and pizza with your fingers if you are at a barbecue, finger buffet or very informal setting. Otherwise always use a knife and fork. Always say thank you when served something. It shows appreciation. When eating rolls, break off a piece of bread before buttering. Eating it whole looks tacky. When eating soup, tip the bowl away from you and scoop the soup up with your spoon.

10

Things you should not do:
Never lick or put your knife in your mouth. It is impolite to start eating before everyone has been served unless your host says that you don’t need to wait. Never chew with your mouth open. No one wants to see food being chewed or hearing it being chomped on. It is impolite to have your elbows on the table while you are eating. Don’t reach over someone’s plate for something, ask for the item to be passed. Never talk with food in your mouth. It is impolite to put too much food in your mouth. Never use your fingers to push food onto your spoon or fork. It is impolite to slurp your food or eat noisily. Never blow your nose on a napkin (serviette). Napkins are for dabbing your lips and only for that. Never take food from your neighbours plate. Never pick food out of your teeth with your fingernails.

English
cuisine encompasses the cooking styles, traditions and recipes
associated with England. It has distinctive attributes of its own,
but also shares much with wider British cuisine, largely due to the
importation of ingredients and ideas from places such as North
America, China, and India during the time of the British Empire and
as a result of post-war immigration. In the Early Modern Period the
food of England was historically characterised by its simplicity of
approach and a reliance on the high quality of natural produce. This
was in no small part influenced by England’s Puritan flavour at the
time, and resulted in a traditional cuisine which tended to veer from
strong flavours, such as garlic, and an avoidance of complex sauces
which were commonly associated with Catholic Continental political
affiliations. It is possible the effects of this can still be seen in
traditional cuisine. Traditional meals have ancient origins, such as
bread and cheese, roasted and stewed meats, meat and game pies,
boiled vegetables and broths, and freshwater and saltwater fish. The
14th-century English cookbook, the Forme of Cury, contains recipes
for these, and dates from the royal court of Richard II. In the
second half of the 18th century Rev. Gilbert White, in The Natural
History of Selborne made note of the increased consumption of
vegetables by ordinary country people in the south of England, to
which, he noted, potatoes had only been added during the reign of
George III: «Green-stalls in cities now support multitudes in
comfortable state, while gardeners get fortunes. Every decent
labourer also has his garden, which is half his support; and common
farmers provide plenty of beans, peas, and greens, for their hinds to
eat with their bacon.» Other meals, such as fish and chips,
which were once urban street food eaten from newspaper with salt and
malt vinegar, and pies and sausages with mashed potatoes, onions, and
gravy, are now matched in popularity by curries from India and
Bangladesh, and stir-fries based on Chinese and Thai cuisine. Italian
cuisine and French cuisine are also now widely adapted. Britain was
also quick to adopt the innovation of fast food from the United
States, and continues to absorb culinary ideas from all over the
world while at the same time rediscovering its roots in sustainable
rural agriculture.

Traditional cuisine. The Sunday roast

Sunday
roast, consisting of roast beef, roast potatoes, vegetables and
Yorkshire pudding.

The
Sunday roast was once the most common feature of English cooking. The
Sunday dinner traditionally includes roast potatoes (or boiled or
mashed potatoes) accompanying a roasted joint of meat such as roast
beef, lamb, pork, or a roast chicken and assorted other vegetables,
themselves generally boiled and served with a gravy. Sauces and
jellies are chosen depending on the type of meat: horseradish for
beef, mint sauce or mint or redcurrant jelly for lamb, apple sauce
for pork, and bread sauce for turkey. Yorkshire pudding normally
accompanies beef (although it was originally served first as a
«filler»), sage and onion stuffing pork, and usually
parsley stuffing chicken; gravy is now often served as an
accompaniment to the main course. The practice of serving a roast
dinner on a Sunday is related to the elaborate preparation required,
and to the housewife’s practice of performing the weekly wash on a
Monday, when the cold remains of the roast made an easily assembled
meal. Sunday was once the only rest day after a six-day working week;
it was also a demonstration that the household was prosperous enough
to afford the cost of a better than normal meal. An elaborate version
of roast dinner is traditionally eaten at Christmas, with almost
every detail rigidly specified by tradition. Since its widespread
availability after World War II the most popular Christmas roast is
turkey, superseding the goose of Dickens’s time. Before the period of
cheap turkeys, roast chicken would be more common than goose although
chicken was still a once a year treat until the 1950s, goose being
unsuitable for small groups of diners. Game meats such as venison
which were traditionally the domain of higher classes are
occasionally also eaten by those wishing to experiment with a wider
choice of foods, due to their promotion by celebrity chefs, although
they are not usually eaten frequently in the average household,
however rabbit and pigeon, whether poached or domestically reared,
were once staple sources of protein for the working classes.
