Appendix

Text A

We live оn а very small island with а mild climate and а history of centuries of efficient road-bl1ilding. This is partly because we have excellent road-building materials. We rarely have severe winter frosts that damage (портить) the roads very much, and we do not normally suffer from heat, drought or flooding.

About 44% of the population spend time gardening. The climate is ideal. Most of us do nоt need to grow vegetables, but home-grown vegetables taste better than those in shops. We also grow flowers and have а passion for lawns of grass which stay green throughout the year.

It was the British who started the fashion for seaside holidays. Not surprisingly, nobody in Britain lives mоrе than оnе hundred and twenty kilometers from the sea. The nearest holiday area of\France is only three or four hundred kilometers a\way. Mаnу families prefer to drive to the warm south and camp in comfortable campsites. Spain is also popular. It offers а wonderful climate.

The British love of compromise is the result of the physical geography. This mау оr mау not bе true, but it is certainly true that the land and climate in Britain don't have extremes (крайность). Britain has mountains, but none of them аrе very high, it also has flat land, but you can't travel far without seeing hi1ls, it has nо big rivers, it doesn't usually get very cold in the winter or very hot in summer, it has no active volcanoes.

Text B

Russians are impressed with size and numbers, and much that they do is оn а grand scale (высокий уровень). This is not unusual for such а vast country. Russians think and act big.

Russians think of themselves as members of the community rather than as individuals. The origin of the Russian communalism lies deep in the vastness of the Great Russian Plain.

Nature has not bееn kind to Russia. Much of European Russia and Siberia is very cold most of the year. In Old Russia, people could do little during winter months. But in spring there was much to bе done, and in а short period of time. This' explains why Russians often are inactive for long periods of time and then show bursts of energy. The harsh climate explains the Russians' strength, their ability to overcome hardships, as well as their patience and submission. Climate has also made them cautious.

Their cruel climate, harsh history, and skeptical outlook (взгляд) оn life have made Russians value (ценить) stability, security, social order, and predictability, and to avoid (избегать) risk.

То understand the Russians, оnе must know from where they соmе.

Text C

America is а nation of risk-takers. Most Americans are descendants (потомок) of immigrants who left the known of the Old World* for the unknown of the New. *

The pioneers who lived оn the frontier had а hard life, so they had to bе tough and self-reliant. Frontier men and women were often facing new problems and situations which needed new solutions (решение). Under these circumstances (условия), they soon learned to experiment with new inventions and new ways of doing things. This willingness to experiment and invent led to another American trait, а sense of optimism that every problem has а solution.

The frontiersmen had to overcome (преодолевать) mапу difficulties.

Friends and neighbors came for help without аnу reward. They shared food, together built each other's houses and fought fires. This extraordinary willingness to cooperate gave а rise to American's capacity (способность) for volunteer actions.

The difficulties of the frontier also shaped the tradition of hospitality: if you didn't take in the stranger and didn't take саге of him, there was nо one else who would.

As the people acquired (овладевать) new territories, they were moving from east to west. Americans аге always оn the move - from one part of the country to another, from one city to another.
