1. Read the text about a girl’s first day at school and for questions 1 to 6, choose the correct answer.

                                                                               Memories of my first day at school

       I remember my first day at school very well. I knew the school quite well because my older sister, Sandy, went there and every day, dad and I met her at the school gate after school. Every day, she ran out of the school with her friends. She often carried a painting. I felt jealous. I wanted to paint too!
      I was five years old when I started school. Most children in my class started school in September, but I started school in January, when I was five years old, because my birthday is in December. Three other kids started school on the same day as me. I was excited about my first day. I had my new uniform: a black skirt, a white t-shirt and green jumper, and a new red bag. When we arrived that day, a teacher met the new children at the school gate. Dad hugged me and said goodbye. I stood with the other children. I didn’t talk to them because I was too nervous. Then, Mrs Wilson took us to our classroom. All the other children were already there. They looked at us when we entered the room. When thirty children looked at me, I started to cry!
      But I wasn’t upset for long. I sat with the other children on the carpet and the class teacher, Miss Holland, read us a story. Later, we drew pictures with coloured pencils, and at break time, I made friends with a girl called Megan. At the end of the day, I ran to the school gate with Megan and my picture, just like Sandy always did.

                                                                               Lake Baikal

Scientists say that Lake Baikal is the oldest lake on planet Earth. Usually lakes don’t live longer than a million years but this wonderful lake is more than 25 million years old! For scientists it is a living laboratory of evolution.

Lake Baikal is also the deepest lake in the world, it is 1,637 metres deep from top to bottom. With time the lake becomes wider and deeper. There is a theory that Lake Baikal is the beginning of a new ocean. The lake holds one−fifth of the planet’s fresh water and this water is incredibly clean.

Lake Baikal is one of the most beautiful places on the Earth. Everyone who has been on its shores knows how unusual and how mighty it looks. The lake is very difficult to describe: its clear waters change colours all the time.

The snows of Siberia come to Lake Baikal in early October. At the end of October ice begins to appear on its surface. In winter the ice gets very thick − well over a metre. (In 1904, during the Russo−Japanese War they laid a railway across the ice to carry guns to the front and the ice didn’t break under its weight.) In April the ice begins to turn into water and the lake becomes so large that sailors and fishermen here talk of “going to sea”.

The water in the lake is never warm. In summer its temperature is about +12 degrees. But a lot of people still enjoy swimming in it. They say swimming in the waters of the lake is good for their health.

Lake Baikal is a living museum of water plants and animals. About 1,500 species of animals here are endemic. Endemic means that you cannot see them anywhere else in the world. The lake is rich in life. Its waters move vertically, carrying oxygen to the very bottom. The lake still keeps a lot of secrets from people. One great mystery about the lake is how nerpa, the Baikal seal, appeared in the lake which is hundreds of kilometers from any ocean, and made the lake its habitat.

The lake lies among beautiful mountains. The Baikal Mountains on the north shore and the taiga belong to a national park. The greatest problem here is to keep all this natural beauty and protect the lake from pollution. Every year the lake attracts more and more tourists, so the task is not at all easy.
