1	Perm’s industry
2	City’s cultural life
3	Natural resource as attraction
4	The greatest achievement
5	Traditionally liberal
6	Beneficial location
7	Where the name comes from
8	Too important to be left alone

A	The word “Perm” first appeared in the 12th century in the Primary Chronicle, the main source describing the early history of the Russian people. The Perm were listed among the people who paid tribute to the Rus. The origin of the word “Perm” remains unclear. Most likely, the word came from the Finno- Ugric languages and meant “far land” or “flat, forested place”. But some local residents say it may have come from Per, a hero and the main character of many local legends.
B	Novgorodian traders were the first to show an interest in Perm. Starting from the 15th century, the Muscovite princes included the area in their plans to create a unified Russian state. During this time the first Russian villages appeared in the northern part of the region. The first industry to appear in the area was a salt factory, which developed on the Usolka river in the city of Solikamsk. Rich salt reserves generated great interest on the part of Russia’s wealthiest merchants, some of whom bought land there.
C	The history of the modern city of Perm starts with the development of the Ural region by Tsar Peter the Great. Perm became the capital of the region in 1781 when the territorial structure of the country was reformed. A special commission determined that the best place would be at the crossroads of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, which runs east-west and the Kazan line, which runs north-south. This choice resulted in Perm becoming a major trade and industrial centre. The city quickly grew to become one of the biggest in the region.
D	Perm is generally stable and peaceful, so the shocks of 1917 did not reach it right away. Neither did they have the same bloody results as in Petrograd. Perm tried to distance itself from the excesses and did not share the enthusiasm for change of its neighbours. Residents supported more moderate parties. They voted for the establishment of a west European style democracy in Russia. Unfortunately, the city could not stay completely unaffected, as both the White and the Red armies wanted its factories.
E	Perm’s desire for stability and self-control made the region seem like a “swamp” during the democratic reforms of the 1990s. Unlike other regions, there were no intense social conflicts or strikes. Nevertheless, Perm was always among the regions that supported the democratic movement. In the 1999 elections, the party that wanted to continue the reforms won a majority in the region. So the city got an unofficial status of “the capital of civil society” or even “the capital of Russian liberalism”.
F	During the Second World War many factories were moved to Perm Oblast and continued to work there after it ended. Chemicals, non-ferrous metallurgy, and oil refining were the key industries after the war. Other factories produced aircraft engines, equipment for telephones, ships, bicycles, and cable. Perm press produces about 70 percent of Russia’s currency and stamped envelopes. Nowadays several major business companies are located in Perm. The biggest players of Russian aircraft industry are among them.
G	Perm has at least a dozen theatres featuring productions that are attracting audiences from faraway cities, and even from abroad. The broad esplanade running from the city’s main square has become the site of almost continuous international art, theatre and music fairs during the summer. Even the former prison camp with grim walls outside town was converted into a theater last July for a production of “Fidelio”, Beethoven’s opera about political repression. The performance was well-reviewed.

The culture shock of being an international student
For any student, moving away from home can be a bit scary. But I did not expect student life in Scotland to be all that different from my home of the Netherlands. After all, we get the same news and TV shows online. Many students find the northwest climate can affect them a lot. You may find the grayness and dampness, especially during the winter months, difficult to get used to. However, when I moved from Amsterdam to study at the University of Stirling, I began to realise that a few minor issues were catching me off balance. I was suffering
a minor cultural shock.

In my first year, I quickly found out my English was not as good as I had assumed. Most of my roommates were born and raised in Scotland, and I constantly found myself having to ask people to repeat themselves. Their Scottish accents did not help and I was mispronouncing names and places all the time. I also got confused about minor cultural things. Much to my flatmates’ amusement, it took me two Christmases to figure out that mince pies are not actually filled with minced beef.

The linguistic barrier meant that public transport was tricky at first. I found the lack of information about bus prices and how and where to get tickets really surprising. It turned a simple 15-minute journey into a daunting task. Then I had to adjust to a new social life. I was surprised by the campus culture in the UK – in the Netherlands, most universities don’t have one main campus where you can attend university, as well as live and exercise all in the same place. But here, you never have to leave campus if you don’t want to. I had to adapt to everyone being so close to each other all the time.

Parties are different here too. In the Netherlands, the less effort you put into getting ready, the better. I’d normally slip on my trusty Converse shoes, along with some clothes I could get away with wearing to class tomorrow, and wear minimal make-up. But, in my experience, partying is more formal in the UK. Your make-up needs to be flawless and your hair needs to be immaculate. You’ll preferably be wearing a dress and heels, too. I was constantly having to borrow clothes off my friends just to fit in. Parties finish early and everyone just wanders off, whereas in my country that would be the time I’d leave the house.

But it is not all early closing times and strange pastries. Social behaviours may also confuse, surprise or offend you. For example, you may find people appear cold, distant or always in a hurry. Cultures are built on deeply-embedded sets of values, norms, assumptions and beliefs. It can be surprising and sometimes distressing to find that people do not share some of your most deeply held ideas, as most of us take our core values and beliefs for granted and assume they are universally held.

However, I have found lots of pleasant surprises in the UK too – and so have many other international students I know. My friend Agnes was taken aback by how sociable people are. She says she was shocked when complete strangers started talking to her at the bus stop. I, personally, was surprised by how smartly male students in Stirling dress compared to my home country. Culture shock can knock your confidence in the beginning. But you are not alone in taking time to adapt, and soon you start to come to grips with all experiences. Studies suggest that taking a gap year or studying abroad can positively influence your brain to make you more outgoing and open to new ideas.
Looking back, most of the ones I experienced made good stories to tell my friends.

Olivia

I never took Olivia to the theatre, but it was there I met her. I 32___________ the habit now of going every Saturday night, usually alone, sometimes with George.

A Scottish Castle

For more than 800 years the castle was a fortress against the

English and rival Scottish clans. It originally on the STAND banks of the river on a hill top overlooking the sea.

Shopping Malls

I think I may be allergic to shopping malls. I am not sure if my condition has ever been recorded officially by medical science but I am sure there are who suffer as I do.

All I have to do is walk inside one of these awful places and within minutes the artificial “day light” from a thousand “soft” lights to give me a headache.

Then there is the piped music which tunes in and out. endlessly from shop to shop, my brain slowly turns into a large vegetable.

Christmas is in July and Valentines’ day is in October in these unreal labyrinths. A Christmas gift, paid for in August seems wrong to.

And surely no one can believe signs that promise the sale

Ever virtually every day of the year.

Shopping should be exciting in my opinion with fresh sites and beautiful goods to buy. Instead it feels much to being in a

Strange parallel universe.

Worst still is trying to leave. I can never find my way out to fresh air and daylight. I wonder if some poor souls remain down there for weeks on end.

Church Calendar

Almost everyone uses calendars. The most common use actually is to mark the passing days and seasons. Quite a few people also mark them as or use them to remember birthdays, appointments or other important occasions.

The same is true of calendars based on religious experience and religions have annual festivals on different dates, to remember those things that are most important to them.

Those of Jewish Faith follow events that revolve around the Exodus. This was the journey of the Israelites out of Egypt to the new land that they God had promised them.

Although the Christian Church has many different “branches”, most of them have calendars based on the life and ministry of Jesus. The Calendar helps believers to remember throughout the year the most important aspects of faith.

In the UK, the festivals of the Christian Church are Christmas and Easter. The most popular by far is Christmas and huge numbers visit Church on Dec24th (Christmas Eve) each year to sing carols and remember the birth of Jesus.

Some dates in the Church are fixed — others vary. The date for Easter, for example, typically between late March and late

April (Western Christianity) and early April to early May (Eastern Orthodox). The date is set by a Iunisolar calendar, following the cycle of the moon.

As a congregation moves through the church calendar, events in an organized way with the opportunity to talk about different faith confessions. This also helps children to visualise and learn about their religion, history and culture.

Weather in the UK

The UK lies on a boundary between warm tropical air and cold polar air. Large temperature variations create instability and this is the major reason for the UK’s often unsettled weather. In the UK many types of weather can in a single day.

Regional climates in the UK are influenced by latitude and the Atlantic Ocean. The western regions, being closest to the Ocean, are the mildest, wettest and parts of the country.

Eastern areas are generally drier, cooler, and windy but subject to greater temperature variations. Northern areas are cooler, wetter and have a smaller temperature range than southern areas.

The UK is a relatively small landmass with an awful lot of weather! Officially it “enjoys” a climate of mixed status — Oceanic, Temperate and Temperate Maritime. Is it any wonder that the British enjoy the weather?

Can you imagine a February afternoon in Novisibirsk with people discussing over tea whether there sunshine or rain during

The evening? A continental climate is generally very predictable.

Everybody in the UK about Siberian winters. So much so that many wrongly believe that there is no such thing as a Siberian Summer.

The Terrible Storm

The wind tore at the sails as the ship shook on waves like mountains. I struggled along the deck to my cabin.

The deck by icy sea water making it slippery and I slid across the deck several times as I searched for the door.

It was particularly dangerous because the deck rails hadn’t been fitted and locked properly and the storm had shaken them loose. Finally I reached the door, which was mysteriously tied open, and into a chair facing Jim.

A swaying lantern — a type of bright lamp often in

Rough weather — was throwing light and shadow around the small cabin.

It was then that I noticed that the normally happy and cheerful Jim was stricken with panic. He suddenly hold of me. He did look frightened!

Dr Who

“Dr Who” is the longest running science fiction TV show in the world. It is broadcast in 42 countries around the world, Russia, but it is in the UK that it has made the biggest impact.

The show in a virtually unbroken run since 1963 and has had a clear impact on British Culture, social history and fashion.

Although the show is called “Dr Who” the hero

Simply as “The Doctor”. He (there has never been a lady doctor) is a travelling “Time Lord” who constantly rescues planet earth from alien attack.

So far there have been 11 Doctors and each has made an impact on British style and fashion. Frock coats and cravats, stylish hats and over long scarves by Time Lords and copied by teenagers.

The Doctors have always been accompanied by glamorous young assistants some of who also made their mark on fashion.

Some of the Doctors’ became equally famous — especially the Daleks: alien organisms from the planet Skoro that live inside a robot like casing.

The show, arguably, has made a contribution to the English language than any other and has been colourful, inventive and dramatic for over five decades.

Famous British?

A recent international survey on the most important British people of all time yielded some interesting results. It turns out that three of the top ten Brits probably never even FAMOUS

Existed! This result has rather disappointed some.

They think it a shame that the people of the world have recognised as real, historical characters, three fictional characters as being among nation’s top ten most well — WE

Known and influential.

So who are these three, who denied Henry VIII and David

Beckham a top 10 place? Who over John Lennon and STEP Guy Fawkes in world esteem? Which 3 stand head and shoulders in fame above Margaret Thatcher and Queen Victoria?

Nottingham exists and so does Sherwood Forest but, People of the World, please understand that Mr R. Hood never existed! Of course there are stories and legends of various robber HERO but the story of Robin Hood is as historically accurate as that of Father Christmas.

Finally who could be so important, in world opinion, to HOLD in fame above Sir Issac Newton and Mr Bean (sorry — Rowan Atkinson)? The answer of course is that romantic, sword twirling, nation saving monarch with a round table — King Arthur.

You could of course read lots of books that argue for and against King Arthur. Or you could take my word for it — he never existed! Certainly he a top ten place. Neither in my NOT DESERVE opinion does Princess Diana, who is also in the top 10.

In my opinion it is similar to the world on the all time VOTE

Our school used to have a ritual day of torture, embarrassment and humiliation for the less athletic pupils at the school. It Sports Day.

Traditionally we were treated to this day of horrors two days before the end of the school year. Even now I remember well the awful practice afternoons up to this inglorious spectacle!

And indeed there were many spectators: parents, teachers and classmates were all there to cheer and applaud the, fastest and most successful athletes in the school.

For useless athletes like me, these were the worst days of our school.

However, I eventually developed a strategy that made it a little. I took up throwing the hammer. The Hammer throw demanded little energy. A fast spin and then letting the thing go at the right moment (and hopefully not killing any innocent spectator) was all that was needed.

Dear Ryan,

Thanks a lot for your letter. I should apologize for not writing earlier as I was really busy with my school.

In your letter, you asked me about the weather in my country. Well, in Russia, weather is rather unpredictable. The worst kind of the weather I’ve experienced was the storm wind and heavy hail. Frankly speaking, we only close windows to prepare for a really bad storm. I suppose the south of Russia has the best weather.

I’d like you to tell me more about your sister’s university place. How has she got it? Has she got it for free or paid anything? What university has she got the place in?

Unfortunately, I have to finish my letter. Loads of homework.

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. То take from home

2. Evening drinks

3. Food for relaxation

4. Skipping the meal

5. Foreign cuisine

6. Unusual meals

7. Traditional morning meal

8. Take it ready to eat

A. If you go to a hotel in Britain and ask for a typical English breakfast, you will probably get bacon and eggs, sausage, mushrooms, baked beans, tea and toast. When porridge juice are offered as well, the meal is sometimes advertised as a «full Engilsh breakfast». Many years ago people couldn’t imagine their breakfast without a bowl of cerea or usual bacon and eggs.

B. But how many people in England actually eat an English breakfast? Only one person in ten. One in five people say all they have for breakfast is a cup of coffee, and many children go to school without eating anything. That is happening because people lack time. They are always in a hurry and prefer to choose something light and ready-made, especially in the morning.

C. If in Britain you stay with a family, you will almost certainly be given a «packed lunch» to eat for your midday meal. Some factories and schools have canteens where a packed lunch is the most common thing to eat. A packed lunch usually consists of some sandwiches, a packet of crisps, an apple, and a can of something to drink, for example, Coca-Cola. The quality of the packed lunch can vary.

D. Fish and chips is the classic English takeaway food. It is usually bought ready cooked at special shops — fish and chip shops, or «chippies» as they are sometimes called. This takeaway food is wrapped in paper to be eaten at home or outside. If you go to a fish and chip shop, you’ll be asked if you want salt and vinegar to be sprinkled over your chips. Be careful because sometimes they give you too much.

E. If you have trouble getting off to sleep, don’t panic. There are plenty of healthy, low fat alternatives to pills to help you nod off. Why not try a glass of warm skimmed milk, or even a cup of camomile tea? These natural and low-fat drinks will help you to get asleep. They can also relax you after a difficult day.

F. Every British town has Indian or Chinese restaurants. There are more Chinese takeaways than there are fish and chips shops in the UK. But most people are eating curry Curry is now Britain’s most popular meal because the majority of British people like spicy food. But British people like food from other countries, too. They say it allows them to understand other cultures better.

G. Eating carbohydrate-rich foods like bread, cereal, rice and pasta causes the production of serotonin, which makes us feel calm. Fruit and vegetables also set off the production of this chemical. Milk and cheese are also useful. The next time you feel stressed, try a little piece of bread and a glass of milk and you’ll feel better in no time.

Few inventions have had as much effect on contemporary society, especially American society, as television. Before 1947 the number of U.S. homes with television sets A ______ . By the late 1990s, 98 percent of U.S. homes had at least one television set, and those sets were on for an average of more than seven hours a day. The typical American spends (B ______ ) from two-and-a-half to almost five hours a day watching television.

The invention of TV is not credited to one single person. Vladimir Zworykin and Philo Farnsworth both played instrumental roles.

While still in high school, Farnsworth had begun to think of a system that D ______ in a form that could be coded onto radio waves and then transformed back into a picture on a screen. Boris Rosing and Vladimir Zvorykin in Russia had conducted some experiments in E ______ Farnsworth’s first success.

Also, a mechanical television system, which scanned images using a F ______ , had been demonstrated by John Logic Baird in England and Charles Francis Jenkins in the United States earlier in the 1920s. However, Farnsworth’s invention and Vladimir Zvorykin’s electronic TV system are the direct ancestors of modern television.

Lesson in humility

I was nine when this started. That was in 1964, the year my mother left us. Chess led me to Horatio — chess and my father and my absent mother and the fact that on that day, I broke the rule about not showing what you feel. My form-master of that year at the private day-school I went to was a chess enthusiast. He explained the rules to us, he encouraged us to play. He was kind to me and I admired him, more than admired: I wanted to be where he was. I suppose I was more than usually responsive to kindness just at that time. To please him I tried hard to be good at chess and I discovered that I was good. I had a natural talent, the master said.

I joined the school chess club. I took part in tournaments and distinguished myself. Shining at few things, for a brief season I shone at chess. I studied the game, I read the accounts of historic encounters, the ploys of long-dead masters, and I played them out alone. I would set out the pieces at random, then sweep them off and try to replace them from memory. At night, I would picture the chess board, go through the moves of some legendary end-game and find consolation.

A colleague of my father was there one Sunday afternoon — my father was a senior official at the Treasury. «Your father tells me you are quite a chess-player.” On his reddish face an indulgent look. «At least by his own report,” my father said with a sarcastic smile. He seemed to suggest I had boasted. Perhaps I had. “Not up to your level, Henry, not yet.» Henry, Harry, Humphrey. A chessplayer ot note. Fancy a game, young man?

We played and I won. He still had half his pieces on the board when l checkmated him. I leasure in victory, expectation of praise — face and voice were not yet practiced enough, I suppose I showed my feelings too clearly. My father looked at me, but uttered no word. He went out, came back with a book from his study, brought it over for me to see. “Look here,” he said, the colleague meanwhile looking on. “Look at these people here.”

He had opened the book roughly in the middle. There were two faces, one on either side: William Pitt the Younger and Horatio Nelson. Neither name meant anything to me at the time. Later, ot course, I knew them tor close contemporaries -Horatio was a year older and died three months earlier.

“Take a good look,” my father said. “These two men saved our country, they had reason to be pleased with themselves.”

He meant it for my benefit or so I like to think. He did not want me to be jubilant in victory, to overrate small achievements. He wanted to inspire me with worthy ambitions. But in his mannei and tone I sensed displeasure; he was not pleased at my success, it had disturbed his sense of the natural order.

My interest in chess did not long survive that day, the lesson in humility proved the death-blow to it. I continued to play during what was left of the term, but my heart was not in it, I lost the appetite for victory, my game fell off. In the autumn, Monty and I were sent away to boarding school and I never played chess again.

The narrator started playing chess because of the encouragement from …

1. his father.

2. his mother.

3. his teacher.

4. Horatio.

In paragraph 2 the words “shining at few things” mean that the boy …

1. did not have many achievements.

2. won a few tournaments.

3. perfected his chess skills.

4. devoted himself to many activities.

The father spoke about his son’s chess talent …

1. enthusiastically.

2. boastfully.

3. happily.

4. ironically.

The father was displeased with his son because …

1. his colleague was hurt by the defeat.

2. the boy couldn’t hide his pleasure.

3. he had hoped for his loss.

4. the boy broke the rules of the game.

What did the boy think about William Pitt and Horatio Nelson?

1. They were models for the boy.

2. He didn’t want to be like them.

3. He knew nothing about them at the time.

4. He liked William Pitt but disposed Horatio Nelson.

The father’s words were meant to …

1. teach his son some history.

2. show his son how wrong he was.

3. show his son how to celebrate a victory.

4. teach his son to evaluate one’s achievements.

The boy stopped playing chess because …

1. he had to leave his school.

2. he lost interest.

3. his father wouldn’t let him play.

4. he had started losing games.
