text silently, and then be ready to read it aloud. Remember that you will not

have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud.

The ninth planet of the solar system was discovered not long ago. It happened in

1930. Scientists had been hunting for the planet for a long time. They had calculated its probable position but there was no proof that the planet really existed. It was too far away for the telescopes of that time to find it. It’s worth mentioning that the first photos of the planet were taken by a very young researcher. He was only twenty-four and had no formal education in astronomy.

However he was deeply involved in the search for the ninth planet. The planet at

the edge of the solar system was called Pluto, after the Roman god. The name for

the planet was suggested by an 11-year-old British girl.

1. The scientific explanation

5. Places without rainbows

2. The real shape

6. A personal vision

3. A lucky sign

7. A bridge between worlds

4. Some tips

8. Impossible to catch

A. Two people never see the same rainbow. Each person sees a different one. It happens because the raindrops are constantly moving so the rainbow is always changing too. Each time you see a rainbow it is unique and it will never be the same! In addition, everyone sees colours differently according to the light and how their eyes interpret it.

B. A rainbow is an optical phenomenon that is seen in the atmosphere. It appears in the sky when the sun’s light is reflected by the raindrops. A rainbow always appears during or immediately after showers when the sun is shining and the air contains raindrops. As a result, a spectrum of colours is seen in the sky. It takes the shape of a multicoloured arc.

C. Many cultures see the rainbow as a road, a connection between earth and heaven (the place where God lives). Legends say that it goes below the earth at the horizon and then comes back up again. In this way it makes a permanent link between what is above and below, between life and death. In some myths the rainbow is compared to a staircase connecting earth to heaven.

D. We all believe that the rainbow is arch-shaped. The funny thing is that it's actually a circle. The reason we don’t see the other half of the rainbow is because we cannot see below the horizon. However, the higher we are above the ground, the more of the rainbow’s circle we can see. That is why, from an airplane in flight, a rainbow will appear as a complete circle with the shadow of the airplane in the centre.

E. In many cultures there is a belief that seeing a rainbow is good. Legends say that if you dig at the end of a rainbow, you'll find a pot of gold. Rainbows are also seen after a storm, showing that the weather is getting better, and there is hope after the storm. This is why they are associated with rescue and good fortune. If people happen to get married on such a day, it is said that they will enjoy a very happy life together. You can never reach the end of a rainbow. A rainbow is all light and water. It is always in front of you while your back is to the sun. As you move, the rainbow that your eye sees moves as well and it will always ‘move away’ at the same speed that you are moving. No matter how hard you try, a rainbow will always be as far away from you as it was before you started to move towards it.

G. To see a rainbow you have to remember some points. First, you should be standing with the sun behind you. Secondly, the rain should be in front of you. The most impressive rainbows appear when half of the sky is still dark with clouds and the other half is clear. The best time to see a rainbow is on a warm day in the early morning after sunrise or late afternoon before sunset. Rainbows are often seen near waterfalls and fountains.

The Best Job in the World

Have you ever heard of the Great Barrier Reef? It is the world's largest coral reef system along the eastern coast of Australia. In February 2009 an extraordinary position was advertised by the Australian Tourism Office. The advertisement ran that the Great Barrier Reef needed a caretaker for half a year. It was for a special person who would look after the Reef.

The job offered a large salary, free accommodation in a luxury villa, and transportation there and around the islands. All expenses would be paid: the winner wouldn't need to spend any extra money on anything.

The job's duties were pretty simple. You could only dream of such requirements. First, the person had to speak English and swim well. Second, on the island his responsibility included writing a weekly Internet blog. That's right, weekly, not even daily! The job description also required the successful applicant to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, make friends with the locals and generally enjoy the tropical climate and lifestyle. A real dream!

Within the first 2 days of the contest, the tourism office received more than seven thousand online applications. All told, 34,000 people of all different nationalities applied. Each made and presented a 60-second video resume. They had to be creative and they were. In the end 16 people were chosen, who flew to Australia for the final selection. The candidates were interviewed and the winner was Ben Southall from the UK.

Ben greatly enjoyed the dream job he had got. He realised that people knew very little about planet earth and its treasures. Living in big cities, they forgot how important the flora and fauna of this world were. Every time Ben went outdoors, he could discover something new. "Every time I dived or went underwater, I forgot about all the troubles above water and concentrated on living in the moment. It was a good way to clean the mind and build respect for the natural world," Ben said.

Ben's life on the island was not just fun. It was very busy, busier than most people imagined, and certainly busier than Ben himself had imagined. He worked seven days a week and up to 19 hours a day. The Best Job included travelling to over 60 islands of the Reef almost every day. It was not just looking after the Reef, Ben had a lot of meetings, press conferences and interviews. He was getting a lot of attention all the time and he couldn't get away from it. That was probably the hardest part of the job.

Moreover, any adventure has a certain degree of risk. Swimming and diving on the Great Barrier Reef was not different. Ben had to deal with whales, sharks and other huge sea creatures. Surprisingly, the most dangerous thing was a small jellyfish about the size of a little finger. It's considered to be extremely poisonous and Ben was stung by it. He had to spend a couple of days in hospital but luckily recovered after a course of antibiotics.

Ben often says that the project has taught him a few valuable lessons. Working with the Internet is one of those jobs you can do 24 hours a day. Ben realised it was hard to separate life and work, but this he had to do. He also said: "I've learned that we get one life on earth so we have to use it. There'll always be other countries to visit, other people to meet and other adventures to meet. This is what I wish to do. I'm planning to go to Asia in a few years time".

Задание 1

Dialogue А

A: Can I help you?

B: Yes, please. You see, I want to adopt a puppy, but I don’t know much about dogs or how to take care of them.

A: Right. I can recommend this book. Have a look – it gives a detailed description of the most popular breeds of dog so that you can choose which is the best for you.

B: Oh, and it also contains very good pictures! These puppies are so cute! Yes, I’m taking it …though the price is rather high… Anyway.

A: The cash-desk is over there.

B: Fine. Thank you.

Dialogue B

A: I’ve got a complaint, I’m afraid.

B: What’s happened, sir? Just let us know. We do everything we can to keep our guests happy.

A: The problem is …that …there’s a dog in the room next to mine.

B: Yes, and what’s the actual problem? Many of our visitors choose us for just that reason. We admit pets which is very convenient for those who travel with animals.

A: But why did nobody tell me about that? The dog barks! I can’t sleep properly at night.

B: Sorry, sir. But the only thing we can do is to offer you another room. I’ll just check which one would be quieter.

Dialogue C

A: It’s pretty cold today, isn’t it?

B: Yes, it is. But I’ve got used to walking in any weather.

A: Is it because you have to walk your dog?

B: Yes. Twice a day, at least. We are heading to the pond at the moment – there are special facilities for dogs there, like ladders and ramps. Are you going there too?

A: Oh, no, I’m going home. That’s enough jogging for me for today. Too cold!

Dialogue D

A: Are you leaving? So soon?

B: Yeah. I have to. I need to walk my dog and he won’t accept any excuses on my part.

A: Yeah, I understand… What kind of dog have you got?

B: A Labrador. He’s very clever but hates it if we don’t follow his routine.

A: That’s a shame… I mean that you are leaving… because it’s so cool here. And the music is great.

B: Ok. Just one more dance and I’ll be off.

A: Yay! A good decision.

Задание 2

Speaker A

It’s large and spacious. There is a whiteboard, desks and a teacher’s table but the most interesting feature is the special graffiti wall. We can write all kinds of questions on the material we are studying at the moment. For example, if you don’tunderstand something, you can write your question on the wall and another student or teacher writes the answer.

Speaker B

I’m always glad to come to this room some time before the lesson and study the maps on the walls and samples of stones and rocks on the shelves. Yes, I find geography very interesting and it’s not a problem for me to spend hours writing out facts about famous travellers and their discoveries. My favourite classroom activity is studying and completing maps.

Speaker C

My grade for the Maths test was unusually high but I’m not happy about it at all. My friend Tracy isn’t talking to me because of this. The thing is that in the exam room I sat next to Tracy and she’s sure I copied the answers from her paper. That’s not true but she doesn’t believe me. She thinks I cheated and she hates any dishonesty.

Speaker D

I study in a large and modern school with well equipped classrooms, a good gym and a swimming pool. The latter are very important for me because I use them practically every day. When the lessons are over, my friend and I go to the gym to exercise or to play volleyball. Twice a week I have a swimming class and my friend does all kinds of experiments in the school chemistry laboratory.

Speaker E

Students’ performance depends a lot on their ability to research and look for information by themselves. On the shelves the books are arranged in the alphabetical order. To find the book you need to know the author. There is also an electronic catalogue and access to the internet resources. Just type in the key word to find whatever you want.

Задания 3–8

Kevin: Hi! I’m Kevin. Can I sit here?

Kate: Yes, sure.

Kevin: And what’s your name?

Kate: Kate.

Kevin: Is this your first visit to Paris?

Kate: Yes, I’m from Canada and this is my first visit to Europe or anywhere else. I’ve never been abroad before and everything seems very exciting. And where are you from?

Kevin: From Liverpool. My family’s lived in that part of England for ages and

we seldom travel anywhere either.

Kate: My parents are completely different; they travel a lot because of their job, but they’ve never taken me with them.

Kevin: I see.

Kate: But this time we are travelling all together as a family. Today we are going to have a guided excursion of the historical part of Paris. Are you here on your own?

Kevin: No. It’s a school trip. The whole class are here and two teachers to supervise us.

Kate: Oh, it must be interesting travelling in a large group.

Kevin: Yeah. We were awarded this trip when we won the city competition.

Kate: Was it a sports competition?

Kevin: No, it was a competition for school rock bands.

Kate: You’re a musician?

Kevin: Sort of. In our band I play the drums.

Kate: Do you see music as your career? Everyone nowadays wants to be either a celebrity or a computer genius.

Kevin: Not in my case. Music is just for fun. I’m deeply interested in physics and biology. I think that absolutely fantastic discoveries are awaiting us in these fields. They could completely change our idea of the universe and of ourselves.

Kate: So, you want to do scientific research?

Kevin: Exactly.

Kate: But that means getting a very good education…

Kevin: Yes. This is my last year at school and I hope to start my university course this summer. I’ve got good grades and it makes my plan sound quite realistic.

Kate: Yes, it looks like a good one. You seem to have planned your life very well. I can’t even make up my mind on what souvenirs to buy for my friends back home…

Kevin: I’ve found a shop with some old photos of the city. I bought several pictures there as gifts for my friends. They’re not expensive and the images are lovely.

Kate: Yeah, I think that would be better than heavy souvenir mugs or T-shirts with prints. Could you tell me where the shop is?
