тематических и 15 типовых вариантов со всеми необходимыми дополнительными
материалами, которые включают ответы, критерии оценивания заданий 39 и 40,
дополнительные схемы оценивания заданий 39 и 40, тексты для аудирования„ Кроме
того, в пособии представлены примеры заданий к новому разделу «Говорение»,
который планируется включить в экзаменационную работу в 2015 году. ТИПО’ вые

Материалы пособия
могут использоваться на занятиях под руководством учителя или в процессе
самостоятельного повторения пройденного и подготовки к ЕГЭ. При использовании
пособия в школе рекомендуется задавать выполнение тематического или типового
варианта на дом (с самоконтролем времени), и в клиеее разбирать вызвавшие
затруднения вопросы и анализировать работы. Это не только ловысит эффективность
классных занятий, но и будет повышать чувство ответственности обучающихся за
результаты экзамена,

Вместе с тем,
тематические варианты, более короткие, чем типовые и не требующие много времени
для их выполнения, являются хорошим материалом для самостоятельных работ в ходе
промежуточного контроля. В каждом тематическом варианте указывается отведённое
на его выполне ние время. Можно также Г№комендонать проведение ПИСЬМеННЫХ работ
с одним заданием 39 па 20 минут.

В процессе

2. Element Of culture 6, Shades make difference

3. From fields to tables   7. Recipes for all tastes

4. From local use to international trade 8. Deceiving likeness

A. The first mentioning of coffee goes us tar
back as the ninth century’ At first, coffee remained largely confined to
Ethiopia, where its native beans wore first cultivated. But the Arab world
began expanding its trade horizons, and the beans moved into northern Africa
and were mass-produced. From there, the beans entered the Indian and European
markets. and the popularity of the beverage spread.

 While processing, a coffee bean absorbe
heat, and the color shifts from green to yellow and then to varying shades of
brown. Depending on the color, the beans are labeled from light to very dark.
Darker beans are generally smoother; because they have less fiber content and
the flavor is more sugary. Lighter beans have more caffeine, which result in a
slight bitterness, and a stronger flavor.

 Coffee is one of the world’s most widely
consumed beverages. People often have it in the morning, when they feel tired or want to stay uwnke in
the evening. Many office workers take a coffee break when they have low energy.
It happens because coffee contains caffeine, a bitter, white crystalline
chemical that hag a vitalizing
effect in humans.

 For the best quality of brewed coffee it is
necessary to buy whole beans and grind them before brewing. It you keep an open
package of beans in the freezer it remains fresh for a month. Ground coffee
Should be used up within two weeks and also kept in a tightly closed container
in the refrigerator. But an absolutely fresh coffee can be made from green
beans that just need to be roasted first.

E. For occasions when one wants to enjoy the
flavor of coffee with almost no stimulation, decaffeinated coffee is available.
It is processed from beans while they are still green by either soaking beans
in hot water or steaming them. Decaffeinated coffee usually loses some flavor
over regular coffee, but it looks the same and can easily mislead inexperienced
users by its smell and even taste.

The adoption of coffee created unique smial
atmosphere that depends heavily upon coffee, espresso in particular.
Coffeehouses, the places where people can get together, have traditionally been
used not only for drinking coffæ, but also ag artistic und intellectual
centers. For example, cafés of Paris which ure popular tourist
attractions because they are also associated with artists, intellectuals and
writers.

G. A coffee bean is the seed of the coffee
plant, which ripens around eight months after the emergence of the flower, by
changing colour from green to red, and they should be harvested. In most
countries, the coffee crop is picked by hand. After this coffee beans are wet
processed and then dried. Finally the last layers or dry skin are removed; the
beans are sorted by size and density, roasted and sold to consumers throughout
the world.

The Slob’s Holiday

My
husband and I went to Reno for our holiday last year. ‘Isn’t that place where
people go to get a quickie divorce?’ asked my second son. ‘Yes’, I said, trying
to look enigmatic and interesting. ‘You are not getting divorced, are you?’ he
asked bluntly. ‘NO,’ I said, ‘we are going to an OUÜloor pursuit trade
fair.’ The children sighed With relief and slouched away, muttering things like
•boring’. I call them Children, but

they are all grown up, My eldest son has started to develop
fine lines around his cycs fledgling crow’s feet. A terrible sight for any
parent to see. Anyway, the piece isn’t about children, It’s about holidays.

The first thing to be said about holidays
is that anybody who can afford one should be grateful@ The second thing is that
planning holideys can be hard work@ In our household it starts with somebody
muttering, ⁴1 suppose we ought to think about, holiday: This remark
is usually made in and is received glumly, if the person making it has said
suppose we ought think about the Bolivian balance 0t payment problems. ‘

Nothing much happens for a week and then
the potential holiday-makers are rounded up and made to consult their diaries.
Hospital appointments are taken into consideration, as ure important things to
do with work. But ather highlights on the domestic calendar, such as the cat’s
birthday, are swept aside and eventually two weeks are found.. The next
decision is the most painfulï where?

We travel abroad to work quite a lot but
we return tired and weary, go the holiday we are plenning is slob’s holiday:
eollupse on A gunbed, read a book until the sun goes down, stagger back to
hotel room, shower, change into glad rags, eat well, wave good-bye to
teenagers, have lust drink on hotel terrace, go to bed and then lie awake and
wait for hotel waiters bring teenagers from the disco.

I never want
to be guided around another monument, as long as I live, I do not want to be
told how many bricks it took to build it. I have a short attention span for
such details, do not want to attend a *folk evening’ ever, ever again. The kind
where men with their trousers tucked into their socks wave handkerchiefs in the
direction of women wearing puff-sleeved blouses, long skirts und headscarves.

I also to live dangerously and get brown,
I want my doughy English skin change from white sliced to wheat germ, I like
the simple pleasure of removing my watch strap and gazing at the patch of
virgin skin beneath.

I don’t want to make new friends — on holidays
or in generali I can’t manage the ones have at home. I do not want to mix with
the locals and I have no wish to go into their homes. I do not welcome tourists
who come to Leicester into my home. Why should the poor loeulg in
Holidaylanð be expected to? It’s bad enough that we monopolize their
beaches, clog their pavements and spend an hour in a shap choosing a sunhat
that costs the equivalent of 75 pence.

Sot the glows holiday has several
essential requirements: a. hotel on a sunny beach, good food, a warm nightlife
for the teenagers, a big crowd to get lost in, and the absence of mosquitoes.

As I we fit. the planning stage. We have
ltRiked through All the holiday brochures, but they are full of references to
•hospitable locals’, •folk nights ^t t «deserted beaches’, and
‘interesting historical sights ^t „ Not our cup of tea, or glass of
sangria, at all,

The porents’ choice of holiday destination made the
narrator’s children feel

1)    jealous.

2)    excited.

3)   
alarmedv

4)   
indifferent.

2)    
the fact that
children are aging.

3)    
the way children change their image. 4) the fact there is a
generation gap.

When the need for holiday planning is first announced in the
narrator’ family, it

l) is regarded as an important political issue.

2) is met with enthusiasm by all the family. 3) seems like an
impossible task, 4) is openly ignored.

find 8 two-week slot
for a. holiday potential holiday-makers have to 1) negotiate the optimum period
for travel.

2)    
cancel prior business appointments.

3)    
re-schedule individual summer plans.

4)    
make a list of the things to be taken into account.

The slob’s holiday is the type of holiday for people, who

l) do not want to go on holiday abroad.

2)   
go on holiday with teenagers.

3)   
do not like public life.

4)   
prefer peaceful relaxing holidays.

When the narrator says ‘I also want to live dangerously’,
she means

l) getting lost in the crowd.

2)   
going sightseeing without a guide.

3)   
choosing herself the parties to go to.

4)   
lying long hours in the sun on the beach.

The main reason the narrator doesn’t want to mix up with
locals is because ghe

1)               
doesn’t let tourists to her house at Leicester.

2)               
doesn’t want to add to their inconveniencies. 3) is afraid to
make friends with local people. values her own privacy above all.

4.     Dance

A.      Dance
is in my heart, in my blood and in my mind. I dance daily. The seldom-used
dining room of my house is now an often•used ballroom. The CD-cbanger has five
discs at the ready: waltz, rock-and-roll, swing, salsa, und tango, Tango is a
complex and difficult dance. I take three dancing lessons a week, and I am off
to Buenos Aires for three months to feel the culture of tango.

B.       Clothes
play an important role in my lifei My passion for fashion begun when I was in
elementary school. I attended a private school with uniformed dress code. At
first I felt bad that I could not wear what I wanted, but soon I learned to
display my creativity and style through shoes and accessories. They can make
each of us unique, in a uniform or not.

C.       I
believe that music has a bigger place in our society than it is given credit
for. The single word ‘music’ covers so many styles. Rock hands and classical
musicians make listeners get the meaning from the music. Music tells stories
about life and death, expresses feelings of love, sadness, anger, guilt, and
pain without using words.

D.      Even
as an eighteen year old young Adult, I still feel the magic of Christmas. I
believe in real Christmas tree. My family has had a real Christmas tree every
year of my life. When you get home and smell the sweet pine needles, something
magical goes into your soul, rmses your spirits. Every year we buy renl tree to
fully embrace the spirit of Christmas.

E.       People
often try to get rid of the number thirteen. Many hotels and office buildings
across the world do not have u 13th floor! I believe that the number thirteen
is not un unlucky number. I was born on January, 13 and do not consider myself
unlucky in any way at all! I believe that this number should have all the
rights und respect we give the rest of the numbers,

 Many kids that ga to
public schools don’t wear a uniform. They like to show off the new expensive
clothes and often have trouble picking out outfits for school in the morning.
They are more worried about whether their shirt matches the belt, rather than
if the homework is completed. I believe that this is a fault of our school
system and only causes problems.

G. They say that the music of your
youth is the soundtrack of your life. I am 50;  enjoy new artigtg and
new music, but still find words of wisdom in singles Of sixties and seventies,
still believe that •you can’t always get what you want, but sometimes, you get
what you need,’ that ‘all you need is love’. I like to listen to the songs I
grew up with.

Past and present

I believe we are not alone.

Even if I on the other side of the world
from the farmhouse I live in, I still dream of the ancient vines out the
window, and the shed out back that my grandfather’s father built in 1870 with
eucalyptus trunks. As long as I can recreate these images,

All of us need some grounding in our
modern world of constant moving, buying, selling, meeting and leaving. Some
find constancy in religion, others in friends or community. But we need some
daily signposts that we are not different, not better,

For me, this house, farm, these ancient
vines are those roots. Although I came into this world alone and will leave

You may find that too boring, living with

Unleashing the power Of creativity

I have always been an optimist and I suppose that is rooted in
my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a
better place. And the life did not disappoint me — many times it proved me
right.

For as long as I can remember, I have
loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a
computer for the first time in the seventh grade, I was hooked. It was a clunky
old Teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers
we have today. But it changed my life.

When my friend Allen and I started
Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of ‘a computer on every desk and in
every home’, which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most
computers were the size of refrigerators and cost as much as a new modern
Japanese car. But we believed that personal computers would change the world.
And they have.

And now, after 30 years, J am still us
inspired by computers as I was back in the seventh grade.

I believe that computers are the most incredible
tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness — to help us solve
problems that even the smartest people could not solve on their own.

Computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids
everywhere a window into all of the world’s knowledge. And the only thing these
youngsters should do is make the right choice, which is not always un easy
choice. Computers are helping us build communities around the things we care
about and to stay clcse to the people who are important to us, no matter they
live — next door or on the other side of the world.

Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel
particularly lucky to do something every day that I love doing. He calls it
•tap-dancing to work’. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what
makes me •tap-dance to work’ is when we show people something new, like a
computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or gestures, or
one that can store a lifetime’s worth of photos or home videos and they say,
didn’t know you could do that with a PC!’

But for all the cool things that a person
can do with a PC, there are lots of other WAYS we can put our creativity and
intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people
in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions
of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed
world.

 believe that my own good fortune brings
with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I
have committed ourselves to improving health and education in a way that can
help as many people as possible.

As a father, I believe that the death of A
child in Africa is no less bitter or tragic than the death of a child anywhere
else. And that it does not take much to make an immense difference in these
children’s lives.

 am still very much gn optimist, and I
believe that progress on even the world’s toughest problems is possible — and
it is happening every day. We are seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new
diagnostic tools. and new attention paid to the health problems in the
developing world.

I am excited by the possibilities I see
for medicine. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity
and willingness to solve tough problems, we are going to see some amazing
achievements in this area in my lifetime.

Artificial
intelligence is t.hc art of making machines that are able to •think’. We often
don’t notice it, but artificial intelligence is All around us. It is present in
computer in the cruise control in our cars and the servers that direct our
e-mail@ Some scientists believe that the mast powerful computers could have the
power
of the human brain, Machines have always been excellent at tasks like
calculation. But, now they are better than humans in many spheres, from chess
to mixing music.

B. The world’s most powerful computer is ASCI Purple, made
by IBM in 2004. It can out 100 trillion operations per second and
has the size of two basketball courts. A computer with double power is expected
in the next two years@ A spokesman for IBM said that ASCI Purple ig near the
power of the human brain. Bui some scientists believe our brains egrry out
almost 10,000 trillion operations per second.

 The possible dangers
of intelligent machines became the stories of many science fiction films. In
The Terminator (1984), a computer network uses nuclear against the human race
in order to rule the world. This network then makes intelligent robots called  which
it programs to kill all the humans. In The (1999) and The Matrix Reloaded
0003), a,  dominates humanity, using people as
batteries to power itself.

 In 1997, the then
world chess champion Garry Kasparov played against IBM’s Deep Blue
supercomputer — and lost. After six games, the world-famous Kasparov lost 2.5
to 3.5 to the computer, In February 2003, Kasparov restored human reputation by
finishing equal against the Israeli-built supercomputer Deep Junior. Kasparov
ended the game with the score 2-2 against US company X3D Technologies’
supercomputer X,3D Fritz in November 2003, proving that the human brain can
keep up with the latest developments in computing least in chess).

E.      
There are a number of different methods which try to measure
intelligence, the most. famous of which is perhaps the IQ or ‘Intelligence
Quotient’ test. This test was first used in early 20th century Parith The
modern day IQ test mensures a variety af different types of ability such as
memory for words and figures and others@ Whether IQ tests actually test general
intelligence is disputable. Some argue that they just show how good the
individual ig at IQ tests!

F.       
Analysis shows that human intelligence ig changing. We are
gaining abilities in some areas of intelligence, while losing them in others,
such as memor’$% So this generation may not remember the great number of poems,
their abilities are greater in other It been discovered that wide use of video
games improves reaction time. But we could only dream of computing without
calculutorg as fast as our grandparents did@

In 1950, mathematician Alan Turing invented a test to check
machine intelligence. In the Turmg Test, two people (A and B) sit in a closed
room, a third person (C), who asks questions, sits outside. Person A tries to
answer the questions so that person C doesn’t guess who they are; men or women,
while person B tries to help him (C) in their identification. Turing suggested
a machine take the place of person A. If the machine fooled the human, it was
likely to be intelligent.

Abby’s
tidy drawer

One Saturday morning, Abby’s Mum came
upstairs to see Abby in her bedroom. There was a, big mess on the floor and
Abby sat in the middle of it all reading a book.

‘What mess,’ Mum said. ‘You need to have
a clear up in here. Because things get broken or lost when they’re all
willy•nilly like this. Come on, have tidy up now.’

‘But I’m very busy,’ Abby argued, ‘and
it’s boring doing it on my own. Can’t you help me?’

‘No I can’t, I’m busy too. But I’ll give
you extra pocket money if you do a good job,’

When Mum came back later all the toys and clothes and
books had disappeared.

‘I’m impressed,’ said Mum. ‘But I’ll inspect it properly
later.’

‘It was easy,’ said Abby. ‘Can I have my extra pocket
money now?’

‘All right. Get it out of my change purse. It’s in the
kitchen tidy drawer:

In the kitchen, Abby went over to the
dresser and pulled open the tidy drawer. She hunted for the purse,

‘It must be somewhere at the bottom,’ Mum said. ‘Let’s
have a proper look.’

She pulled the drawer out and carried it
over to the table. Abby looked inside. There were lots of things like staplers
and string, but there were lots of interesting things as well.

*What’s this?’ Abby asked, holding up a plastic bottle
full of red liquid.

‘Fake blood, from a Halloween party years ago. Your Dari and I took you to
that, dressed up as a baby vampire. You were really scary.’

Abby carried on looking through the
drawer. She found some vampire teeth, white face paint, plastic witch nails and
hair gel. Mum pulled out a glittery hair band. It had springs with wobbly balls
on the top that flashed disco colours! Abby found some sparkly hair elastics to
match the hair band. She made her Mum put lots of little bunches all over her
head so she looked really silly.

‘I remember this,’ Abby said as she
pulled out a plastic bag. ‘Thig is from my pirate party.’ Inside there was
black, false moustache and some big gold earrings.

‘Come here,’ Mum said and smeared white
face paint all over Abby’s face. She dribbled the fake blood so it looked as if
it was coming out of Abby’s eyes and mouth. She put gel all over Abby’s hair
and made it stand up into weird, pointy shapes. Abby put in the vampire teeth
and slipped on the witch fingers. She made scary noises at Wow-wow, the cat. He
ignored her and carried on washing himself on the seat next to her.

Abby earne to sit on her Mum’s knee.

‘It’s fun doing this together,’ she said.

‘Maybe. But we still haven’t found the change purse.’

‘Well, you know things will get lost, or broken, when they’re all

‘You cheeky monkey!’ Mum laughed. «But what shall I
do with it all?’

‘I know, it’s easy,’ Abby said and began
to remove everything off the table into her arms. She put it all back in the
kitchen drawer.

Mum looked at her suspiciously.

‘Let’s go and inspect your bedroom, shall we?’

Abby followed her upstairs and into her
bedroom. Wow•Wow was sitting in front Of her fish tank looking hungrily ut the
goldfish. dashed under the bed when he saw Mum and Abby, Mum kneeled down and
lifted the bed cover to get him out. Underneath were heaps of Abby’s toys,
books, tapes, clothes and shoest empty plastic cups, wrappers and a half-eaten
sandwich on a plate.

‘Abby: What’s all this?’

‘It’s my tidy drawer,» Abby said.
She wrapped her arms around her Mum and gave her a kigg. ‘Let’s sort this one
together now.’

When Mum came to Abby’s room she saw 1) her daughter
reading her table.

2)    
the cat looking
at the fish.

3)    
a terrible mess all over the place, Abby dressed up as a
vampire.

Chocolate is made
from the seeds of the tree Theobroma cacao. The ancient Aztecs used the beans
of the cacao tree as form of money. The Aztecs discovered that by crushing the
beans into a paste and adding spices, they could make a refreshing and nourishing
drink. This drink was very bitter, not like our chocolate drinks today. 16th
century European explorers brought the drink back from their travels, added
sugar, and soon it wag popular expensive luxury.

You can receive a,
•sweet tooth’ from your Recent study At New York University suggests there is a
genetic reason why some people prefer sugary foods. The study was based on two
groups of mice. The parents of the first group were given sweetened water and the
parents of the second — unsweetened water. The team round gene that was
different in the two groups of mice and then looked for similar genetic chains

C. All modern chocolate products have

why it becomes a sort of drug for some people. An ability to recognize sweet
things, and tendency to like them wag very tjseful for our forefAihers. Such a

Like other swcet
food, chocolate helps endorphins, natural hormones, that give us the feelings
Of pleasure end. well-being, to appear in our body. Chocolate also makes us
feel good by reacting with our brains. Scientists say that some people may
develop chocoholigrn — a dependency on chocolate. So it’s just possible that,
with every bar of chocolate, your brain changes step by step in order to make
you love chocolate more and morel

E.      
Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, many scientific works were
written explaining the advantuges of chocolate for medicine, and today it’s u
regular food in army rations. Chocolate could help prevent tooth decay,
according to scientists at Japan’s Osaka The cocoa beans from which chocolate
is made have an antibacterial agent fights tooth decay. These parts of the
beans are not usually used in chocolate production, but in future they could be
added back in to chocolate to make it friendly for teeth.

F.       
Californian scientist Professor Carl Keen and his team have
suggested that chocolate might help fight heart diseage. They say that it
contains chemicals called flavinoids, which thin the blood. Researchers at
Harvard University have carried out experiments that suggest that if you
eat chocolate three times a month you will live almost a, year longer than
those who don’t do it. But it’S not all good news — chocolate has much fat,
which means that eating too much of it may lead to obesity.

G.     
Being very fat, or obese, is linked to marry health problems
including heart disease and diabetes. The causes ot obesity are not yet fully
understood. Both genes and the environment play a role. The recent
growth of the number of fat people seems to be linked to
environmental factors: people are much less active nowadays, fatty and sugary
foods like chocolate are cheap, people eat larger portions of food, and the
calories per person have increased.

Walking is not enough to keep fit

Walking may not be
enough on its own to produce significant health benefits, research suggests. A

programme with a more traditional fitness regime of moderate intensity.
Researchers found improvements Awere significantly higher in the second group.

But to increase the effectiveness, some intensity must be
added to their exercise. ‘Across your day, while you are achieving those 10,000
steps, take 200 to 400 of them at a faster pace. You’ve got to do more than
light exercise and include regular moderate activity, and don’t be shy to have
an occasional period of time at an energetic level.’ The researchers were
concerned there was too much focus  rather than on its intensity.

Professor Stuart Biddle, an expert in
exercise science at the University of Loughborough, said it was possible that
the current guidelines on how much exercise to take were set too
low. «However, you have got to find F

The harder you make it, the fewer people will actually do it.’

In the morning Abby jumped out of bed and
switched on the light in her fish tank. Gerry, the fat orange goldfish, was
dozing inside the stone archway. It took Abby a while to discover Mr. Sticky
because he was clinging to the glass near the bottom, right next to the gravel.

At school that day she wrote about the mysterious Mr. Sticky
who was so small you could mistake him for a piece of gravel. Some of the girls
in her class said he seemed an ideal pet for her and kept giggling about it.

anymore. Small things are cute aren’t they?’

‘Yes they are. Now hurry upt I’m going to miss my train.’

At the weekend they cleaned out the tank. ‘There’s a
lot of filth on the sides,’ Mum said. ‘I’m not sure Mr. Sticky’s quite up to
the job yet. ^t

They took the fish out and put them in a
bowl while they emptied some of the water. Mr. Sticky stayed out of the way,
clinging to the glass while Mum used the special •vacuum cleaner’ to clean the
gravel. Abby cleaned the archway and the filter tube. Mum poured new water into
the tank.

‘Where’s Mr. Sticky?’ Abby asked.

‘On the side,’ Mum said. She was busy concentrating on the
water,

Abby looked on all sides of the tank. There was no sign of
the water snail.

‘He’s probably in the
gravel then,’ her mum said. She put the fish back in the clean water where they
swam round and round, looking baffled.

That evening Abby went up
to her bedroom to examine the tank. The water had settled and looked lovely and
clear but there no sign Of Sticky, She went downstairs.

The door to the bedroom opened and Mum’s face tappeared. Abby
tried to ignore her but it was hard when she walked over to the bed and sat
next to her. She holding her glasses in her hand. *These             my new

‘And I’ve got a

the local boys volunteered to help, including myself.

The benches were connected in stacks, so

underneath them we found soil, which also moved easily as it was completely

Spain as a state

A.    
A unique food battle festival known as La Tomatina is celebrated
in Spain every year on the last Wednesduy of August. It involves thousands of
people engaging in a brutal battle, throwing overripe tomatoes At each other.
The festival spans more than a week and although there are many elements to the
festival, such as parades, music, dancing and fireworks, they are all centered
on the tomato fight.

B.     
Spanish cuisine is a heavenly mixture of chicken, mixed
vegetables, fish and meats. Many of the most popular Spanish dishes are a type
of Paella, which is a rice dish that features a variety of ingredients. Hot
chocolate and churros are very popular desserts throughout the country. Spain
is also famous for its aromatic wines and other alcoholic beverages like
Sangraa, Cava and authentic Spanish beer.

C.     
Spain Is very rich with traditions, especially those associated
with food. For breakfast, some families buy fresh churros, pair them with hot
chocolate and enjoy a leisurely mornmg routine. Luneh is another important meal
of the day, and it is usually heavier than breakfast. This is sometimes
followed by siesta, an afternoon nap to get through post-lunch drowsiness.
During this time, shops close and then open again after two or three hours of
rest.

D.    
Spain is an important resting spot for migratory birds, and a
home for many animals. But, unfortunately, many speeieg of wildlife face
threats from habitat loss and pollution. Due to centuries of tree cutting,
large forests are now found only in u few areas in the country. Spain has
created many national parks and refuges, but they cover only about seven
percent of the country.

E.     
Although there is a national parliament, Spain is one of the most
decentralized democracies in Europe. Each of its 17 regions manages its own
schools, hospitals, and other public services. The tourist services industry
drives Spain’s economy, but at the same time, since 1986, when Spain joined the
European Community, it has worked to diversify its economy, by building
important industries such as mining, shipbuilding, and textiles.

F.      
Bullfighting is one of the most famous traditions in Spain. Thig
risky sport evolved from the ancient Roman gladiator games, with human matadors
opposing charging bulls. However, this tradition has lately become widely
debated and younger generations and animal-rights activists protest against
bullfighting, Either way, it remains an icoruc part of the country and
bullfights take place in many Spanish towns and cities.

LA siesta
is a well-known aspect of Spanish culture. Seeking to balance work with pleasure,
Spaniards have long practiced this tradition, when students and professionals
return to their homes around midday for a big lunch, followed by a few hours of
rest and family time, Many businesses also shut down for a short break.
However, 21st-century big cities move at a faster pace, and don’t take siestas,
but many people in smaller towns and villages still take a siesta each day.

When I grow up

When I was in kindergarten, my class was
asked, «What do you want to be when you grow up?» Colorful crayons
danced sheets Of paper to illustrate our dream occupations and cherished jobs,
Our drawings were hung in the school hallway for our parents to see at Back to
School Night. I remember looking down the line and seeing pictures of pretty
ballerinas dancing, brave firefighters putting out a blaze, and fearless
astronauts leuping across the moon — admirable careers that were seen as
typical dreams of five-year-old kids.

My picture showed a stick figure with brown disheveled hair holding a carton of
orange juice over a large rectangle that was supposed to be a counter.
Underneath was my barely legible handwriting: «When I grow up, I want to
work at the Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe orange juice across
the scanner and talk to customers.» To this day my parents won’t let rne
forget that out of everything I could have aspired to be, my five-year-old self
wished to work at the local grocery store.

When we are young, questions of what we
want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected respond with an
answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teenagers, we are
asked the very same question twice as often. The difference is, now we are
supposed to answer with confidence,

Teenagers are expected to know exactly
what they want to be and how they are going to achieve that govil. Not all of
us eun be so sure at this age. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer
convincingly. But don’t consider that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know
what I will want to spend my time doing at the age of thirty or forty?

When think about the future, I definitely
don’t see myself working at the counter of the Market Basket, but in reality,
if that was what would make me happy, would do it. so, the next time someone
asks what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say, want to be
happy.» And it is hope that drives us in this direction.

«Hope is not a grain of sand,»
the Gambian poet, Lenrie Peters, echoes, but no matter how tiny it is, it would
Still be sufficient to keep the youth alive and gang in most extreme
circumstances. It is hope that spurs the youth on, to be up and doing, It is
hope that keeps the youth going no matter how hard it is. Nelson Mandela as a
youth hoped against all hope for the liberation Of his people and he actually
lived to see his hope being fulfilled. Robinson Crusoe, cast away on an
uninhabited island, hoped against all hope for survival and this propelled him
to start from scratch and build a compound and large farm single—handedly,

Fur away in «Another Country: the
Land of Literature,» Sister Eileen Sweeney sums up through her writings
that Hope is the anchor that keeps «the ship» called
«youth» steadfastly held together no matter the high and Stormy sea
Of passion, pain, distress or tribulation that butter against it.

Happiness is a destination for everyone.
We may want to walk different paths in life, narrow or wide, crooked or
straight, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but
don’t worry Coo much about choosing wisely. Make  mistake or two and
try new things. But always remember, if you’re not happy, you’re not at the end
of your journey yet,

In what way did the children in the kindergarten answer the
question about their dream occupation?

1)  They
described their parents’ actual occupation.

2)  They
took pictures of parents at. the Rack CO School Night.

3)  They
drew people of their dream careers in action.

4) 
They made up a
list of the most common and wide-spread professions.

Why did the author want to work in the local grocery store?

l) It seemed to be an enjoyable occupation.

2)   
It was quite realistic career goal.

3)   

Her parents spoke a lot about it. 4) She liked to make orange juice.

According to the author, when you grow up the questions
about career choice become

1)   less
convincing.

2)  
less common.

3)  
more frequent.

4)  
more stressful.

⁴ That» in «But I don’t consider that a bad thing»
(paragraph 4) refers to

1)  knowing
in your teens exactly what you want to be.

2)  working
at the counter Of the Market Basket grocery Store.

3)  being
unsure of your future career when in high school.

4)  having
A definite idea of how to achieve one’s career goal.

What would the author most probably like to do in the
future?

1)   
Write poems about
difficulties of youth.

2)    Work as
an independent farmer.

3)    Work for
a local supermarket chain.

4)   
Do a job that
brings her satisfaction.

Examples with Nelson Mandela and Robinson Crusoe are
mentioned by the author to

1)   illustrate wise
and successful career choiees@

2)   prove how
important it is not to lose hope,

3)   inspire
teenagers to believe in their own effort. 4) show what to do in extreme
circumstaneesy

What conclusion does the author make?

1)  
Make a wise
choice when thinking of your future professiony

2)   Look for an
activity that makes you happyy

3)  

DO not forget about the happiness of other people.

4)   Be careful not
to make a mistake when trying new things, Orger:

A. Flamingos are very social and often
live in large groups, called colonies, throughout the world. They are found in
both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. The American Flamingo is
the only one that lives in the wild in North America, and on many Caribbean
islands such as the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola. It also lives in narthern
Sauth America, the Galgpagos Islands, and parts of Mexico..

 Flamingos fish while
walking in shallow water end mud, When a flamingo notices its potential
dinner (for example, shrimp, snails, and plantlike water organisms), it
plunges its head into the watert twists its head upside down, and scoops the
fish up using its upper beak like a. shovel. Flamingos get their pink coloring
from the carotenoid pigment in their food, which is the same pigment that makes
carrote orange,

C. Flamingoe build nests that look like
mounds of mud along waterways. The parents take turns sitting on the egg to
keep it wgrtn nnd after about 30 days the egg hatches. Young flamingos are born
white, with softy downy feathers and a straight bill. Both adult birds look
after the newl*Žlrn flgmingo. The young leave the nest after about five
days to join other young Tlarningog in small groups, returning to their parents
for food.

Scientists aren’t
100% sure why flamingos stand on one leg, but they have some theories. One
theory says that it is to keep one leg warm. Another idea is that flamingos are
drying out one leg at Lime, A third theory states that it helps them deceive
their catch, because one leg looks more like a plant than do two, Whatever the
reason, it is truly amazing that these top heavy birds can balance on one leg
for hours at a. time.

E. Ancient Egyptians believed that
flamingoe were the living representation of the god R.n. In the Americas, the
Mache people Of ancient Peru worshipped nature and paid a great deal of
attention to these birds and often depicted flamingos in their art. However,
Andean miners killed flamingos for their fat, which is believed to be remedy
for tuberculosis, and in Ancient Rome their tongues were considered a,
delicacy.

Many people have
plastic flamingos in their yards as ornaments, This is a fun and inexpensive
way to add some elegance to one’s landscaping, In many parts of the world
flamingos are popular collectibles, appearing in the form of magnets. water
globes, and jewelry. They are also said be an image that people find Co be
calming and exciting at the same time. For these purposes people buy millions
of plastic flamingos annually all around the world.

G. Flamingos have been affected in many ways by global warming. One of the
biggest concerns is making nests and laying eggs, Flamingos depend on rainfall
to help them mate and without adequate rain they won’t engage in Many
researchers find that global warming reduces the chance of rain and can cause
drought in some of the areas where they live. This could mean a significant
reduction of offspring in the years ahead.

Running a multilingual European Union

The use of 23 official languages is the
public face of the European Union (ELI). The reasons A  are not hard to identify: they are
democracy, transparency and the right to know. New legislation must be
published and made available in a language all EU citizens can understand, The
use of all official languages Also makes it easier for people to participate in
public debates and consultations

Its law-making function and the direct
involvement of its citizens explain  like the United Nations or NATO, which
operate only at the intergovernmental level with no legislative function. The
United Nations, with more than 190 members, uses only six languages. The
Council of Europe, , publishes official documents only in
English and French, as does NATO.

Running
multilingual EU comes at a price. But it is modest price when set against the
results. The annual cost of translation and interpretation is about 10/0 of the
ELI budget, E . The total cost has risen by only margin despite the
arrival of 12 new countries since 2004.

The EU institutions

official languages. Translators work with written texts, and interpreters with
the spoken word. But they must ^Obe able to translate or interpret

Internet safety issues

The fact is that 93 percent of kids are
online.

Even if parents limit
or ban internet access, kids have access at school, through friend’s
smart phone, libraries, and schools. The internet is a tool that our children
need to use and master with wisdom dispensed by parents. We need tech-savvy
youth who will grow up to be leaders of the community.

Many schools use
websites such as EdModo to connect students and teachers. My friend Reem js the
vice principal of an Islamic School. She says that many teachers assign work
from school that children need to research online. Some of the best
homeschooling regourees are online.

Far too many parents
do not allow their children monitored access to the internet, leading ta two
scenarios. Their children end up lying and using it behind their back; or are
so sheltered that they do not know how to conduct themselves online when they finally
do get access.

On the other hand,
more often than not, there are parents who freely give unmonitored access.

But caretakers raising
children in today’s world need to think about several issues:  How does a
parent knaw if his/her child is engaging in inappropriate Internet activities?

•      
How would a parent know if his/her child is cyber-bullied if he
or she does not tell them?

According to Common Sense
Media, «Young teens don’t yet have an «off» switch in their
brains. That means that they often act impulsively. This lack of impulse
control, combined with online anonymity, could lead toward dangerous behuviors;
cyber-bullying, inappropriate photo or video uploads, illegal downloads,
meeting strangers — even cheating. Because socializing is so important to young
peopleï online interactions can pretty intense whether they’re pleying
chatting with friends, or sharing work.

Using open communication
and thoughtful intervention, parents can help their wired offspring learn bow
maneuver ele•ct.ronic gadgets and the World Wide Web, Here are some tips on how
to give children monitored access the Internet:  spend time with your
children online@  ask to sce their Facebook page, their
Instagrams, and Twitter feed. It may seem like a foreign territory, but it. is
imperut.ive that parents talk to their children about social media, At this
stage, it is not our job to try to protect them by isolating them@ It is our
jab to teach them bow to deal with information and with people.

•      
younger children often play on websites such as Movie St*r
Planet, Moshi Monsterst and new ones pop up every day. Most of these sites
teach extreme consumerism as children •play’ to accumulate points or currency
and use it to ‘buy’ stuff: furniture, VIP passes, etc.; urging your child to
become ‘Rich and Famous.’ As responsible parents, we need to prevent children
from becoming mindless consumers. Il’ you do allow your child to visit these
sites, then watch them while they play.

•      

teach them not to talk to or chat with random strangers. That person with  name
GirlIe45 possibly, be a middle-aged predator, Teach them that everything that
they put online is forever. Anyone can cut, copy and paste pictures and text.
Teach them how to be safe online because today it, is important as safety

A.     
Eight thousand feet uln:vve sea level, this fivemcentury•old
pre-Columbian site was once home to the Incas. Until American historian Hiram
Bingham publicized his findings of the area in a book called ^u Across
South America,» the mountain-top ruins were widely unknown to anyone
living outside of the Urubamba Valley. Since Spanish colonialists had no idea
of Machu Picchu’s existence, Incan architecture and design of the buildings
were preserved.

B.     

Does the arrangement of the 25-ton sandstone blocks at
Stonehenge suggest some sort of spiritual prediction? No one really knows.
Theories about the nearly 5.000-yearOld circular stone structure vary. The mast
intriguing time to visit Stonehenge is at sunset when a yellow-orange glow can
be seen through the magnificent towers’ arches making some people believe that
it was originally a place of healing, while others think it was used for
ancestor worship.

C.     
The 1,500-year-old pyramids, located near the town of Meridu, may
be less than their equivalents in Egypt, but they just as remarkable, Although
there are many structures there like the Temple of the Warriors or the Wall of
Skulls, the main attraction is El Castillo, the 78-faot, 91-gtep central
pyramid. The Absolute best time to travel to El Castillo ig at sunset when
shadows give the illusion that a large serpent ig sliding down the pyramid.

D.     
The Earth’s southernmost point, Antarctica, is the driest and
coldest of the seven continents. For a place that is 98 per cent covered in
one-mile-deep ice, it is hard to imagine why anyone would want to visit it At
all. But there is a strange beauty about Antarctica that is incomparable to
anywhere else on the planet. Anyway, while Antarctica has no permanent
residents, there are often up to 5,000 researchers working there at a time.

E.      
It is believed that hundreds of years ago the natives of Buster
Island carved massive heads out of stone to honor their uneestors. Today, there
are 887 «moai,» as the statues are called, which create a mysterious,
yet intriguing landscape on this Polynesign island, which is a four-and-a-half
hour flight from Lima, Peru. The tullegt statue on the island, named Paro, is
33 feet high und weighs 82 tons.

North America’s Red Canyon is 277 river miles long, eighteen
miles wide, and one mile deep, and if it doesn’t make your mouth drop with
surprise, then you might not be human: Most tourists go there by car and there
are plenty of spots along the way to pull the car over and have a look from the
top. You can algo go down into the canyon’s depths and experience the very
heart of the canyon hy going rafting on the Colorado River, and even spend the
night at a hotel below the rom.

Thousands of miles long, the Great Wall ot China is the largest
cultural object humans have ever built. Il majestically snakes through China,
winds around rising and falling hills, twists through an enormous countryside,
and stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Lake in the west. However,
the wall was constructed more than 2,000 years ago not to amaze people, but in
an attempt to keep out invading tribes from the north.

Finding your sportsman spirit

Doing sports, we can really test our physical fitness in
contest, and it is one of the only wuys that nations clash peacefully.
Sportsmen and sportswomen are today’s warriors — the contests Aon the pitches
and courts are the closest things we have to gladiatorial fighting.

If sportsmen are like warriors, then the  spirit’ could be
considered the closest thing we have to warrior’s code — to bushido or to
chivalry. If you develop good sportsmanship then this means that you take joy
in the contest and at the same time B, that, you win graciously and that you
don’t cheat.

If you have put time and
effort into traming then you are aware of the blood, sweat and tears that the
opposition has put in well. They will have had the same dedication to their
game as you have und you will know precisely C

In this you are
brothers (or sisters) and the only difference between you is different teams.
For this reason they deserve your

respect.

There are many
traditions in many to help us retain good relationships with our opponents.
This means things like shaking hands at the end af a tennis match, and
this is Eand honourable rather thun just being muddy skirmishes.

You might have
performed brilliantly on the pitch, but you are kidding yourself if you believe
Fof your own doing, If nothing else, the wenther and luck will have played a
role in the outcome, and if you’re playing a. team sport then you are only one
cog in a machine.

Your amazing brain

You carry around a three-pound mass Of
wrinkly material in your head that controls every single thing you will ever
do. From enabling you think, learn, create; end feel emotions to controlling
every blink, breath, and heartbeat — this fantastic control center is your
brain. It is structure so amazing that in the foreword to Discovering the
Brain, famous scientist James Watson wrote, «The brain is the most complex
thing we have yet discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions
of cells interlinked through trillions of connections. The brain confuses the
mind.» Obviously to understand brain function, we need to confront its
complexity,

Imagine your kitten is on the kitchen
counter. She’s about bo step onto a stove. You have only seconds to act.
Accessing the signals coming from your eyes, your brain quickly calculates
when, where, and at what speed you will need to dive to intercept her. Then it
orders your muscles to do so. Your timing is perfect and she’s safe, No
computer can come Close to your brain’s awesome ability to download, process,
and react to the flood Of information coming from your eyes, ears, and other
sensory organs.

Your brain contains abotat 100 billion microscopic cells called neurons — so
many it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Whenever you dream,
laugh, think, gee, or move, it’S because tiny chemical and electrical signals
are racing between these neurons along billions of tiny neuron highways.
Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stopg. Countless messages
zip ground inside it every second like a supercharged pinball machine. Your
neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the entire world.
And while a Single neuron generates only a tiny amount Of electricity, all your
neurons together generate enough electricity to power a low-wattage bulb,

Neurons send information to your brain at more than 150
miles

(241 kilometers) per hour. For example, a
bee lands on your bare foot. Sensory neurons in your skin relay this
information to your spinal cord and brain at a speed of more than 150 miles
(241 kilometers) per hour. Your brain then uses motor neurons to transmit the
message back through your spinal cord to your foot to shake the bee off
quickly. Motor neurons can relay this information at more than 200 miles (322
kilometers) per hour.

Riding a bike seems impassible at first.
But soon you master it. How? As you practice, your bruin sends «bike
riding» messages along certain pathways of neurons over and over, forming
new connections. In fact, the structure of your brain changes every time you
learn, as well as whenever you have a new thought or memory.

It is well known that uny exercise that
makes YOUT heart beat faster, like running or playing basketball, is great for
your body and even help improve your mood, But large-scale efforts of
scientists from u group of institutes from the National Institutes of Health
have recently showed that for period of time after you’ve exercised, your body
produces a chemical that makes your brain more receptive for gaining new
knowledge. So if you’re stuck on a homework problem, go out and play a game of
soccer, then try the problem again. You just might discover that you’re able to
solve it.

According ta the text, the most distinctive
characteristic of the bruin is its 1) ability to control the body.           3)
size.

2) elaborateness.                                             4)
weight.

The claims that the brain is better than
any computer because it

1) 
processes more information.

2) 
works faster.

3) 
can download information from different sources. 4) reacts to
information more adequately.

According to the text, the work Of brain
neurons influences

l) electricity production.                                3)
everything we do.

2) our dreams.                                                 4)
character of messages we send.

The narrator compares the work Of neurons
to pinball machine to

l) show the character of brain work.

2)    
raise the
awareness of the brain’s nature.

3)    

stress the amount of information that, the brain processes. illustrate
the shape of the neuron highways.

Comparing sensory and motor neurons,
we can make a conclusion that 1) motor neurons transmit information faster.

2)   
there are more motor neurons.

3)   
sensory neurons transmit information faster. there are
more sensory neurons.

The structure of brain changes when

1)  
our memory fails.           3) we are riding a bike.

2)  
new neurons
appear.         we acquire new knowledge.

Physical exercises proved to be good
for 1) the production of brain chemicals.

2) solving homework problems. 3) giving the brain a rest.
maintaining a good mood.
