Whales
Whales are large, intelligent, and beautiful animals. The biggest whale is the blue whale, which grows up to 29 metres long - the height of a 9-storey building.
The whale is not only the largest animal in the world today, it is the largest animal which has ever lived, it's bigger than the dinosaur. These enormous animals eat about 4 tons of tiny krill each day.
All whales are mammals. We call mammals the animals which are warm-blooded, and feed their kids on milk. In spite of their big bodies, whales move easily through the water. They have adapted to life in the open oceans and never come on land. Unlike fish, whales breathe air into lungs and swim by moving their strong tail up and down. Fish swim by moving their tails left and right.
Whales usually migrate over very long distances each year. They often travel in groups which are called pods. Most whales are very acrobatic and can jump high out of the water.
Whales live in social groups and have very strong social ties. The strongest social ties are between mother and calf (a whale's kid is called a calf). Normally a female whale gives birth to one calf and feeds it on milk, which is very fat. Mother whales care for their calves for a long period of time, for a year at least, feeding them on milk and protecting them. In 2006 an adult whale was spotted in the waters of the Thames. It was very unusual, and the scientists could not understand what the whale was doing in shallow waters of the Thames. Then they found out that it had made up its way to Central London as it was looking for its lost calf. The rescue party tried to save the whale and get it down into the sea, where the other whales of the pod were waiting for it. Unfortunately, the whale died during the rescue operation because of a great shock.
There are still lots of fascinating facts about whales. And lots of mysteries are still waiting to be solved.

Reading
- Read the texts and find the suitable title. There is one extra title.
1. The opening ceremony 5. A symbolic meaning
2. A great honour 6. A place to visit
3. The Olympic team 7. A new start
4. The Greek calendar 8. The best location
A. The first winners of the Olympic Games got free food and housing for the whole lives. They were mentioned in poems and well-known all over Greece. Sculptors even built statues of the competitors. Everyone respected and admired the winners. In short, the victory in the competitions made the man a national hero and all the little children wanted to be like him.
B. Olympia was chosen as the place of the Games because it was a peaceful and neutral area. There the ancient Greeks praised their most important God – Zeus. Another factor was that it had a beautiful green valley. It was very suitable for all kinds of sports competitions. Also people could easily get to Olympia because there were two rivers nearby. It was impossible to find a better place anywhere else in Greece.
C. The Olympiads were named in honor of the runner who came first in the
stadium race. For example, the Olympiad of Dionis. So the years after this
Olympiad were named as the first, the second, the third or the fourth year since the Olympiad of Dionis. The early historians used this system to give dates to important events.
D. The Olympic Museum was founded in 1993 in Switzerland. It has a big
collection of pieces connected with the Olympic movement. It also has the
largest number of books and documents about the Games in the world. No
wonder the place is one of the main tourist attractions. The museum is
surrounded by a park with wonderful works of art based on a sporting theme.
E. The modern Olympics began in 1894. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman decided to bring back the ancient Greek tradition. He wanted to begin a sports festival to celebrate health, youth and peace. The first modern Olympiad took place in Athens in 1896. Since then the Olympic Games have been held every four years with two exceptions because of the two world wars.
F. The Olympic Games traditionally start with the “Parade of the Nations”. Most of the participating athletes walk out into the stadium. The Greek athletes open the parade and the hosts appear on stadium the last. The name of each country is announced in French and English, the official languages of the Olympic Games, and the language spoken in the country that organizes the Games.
G. The five Olympic rings represent the five main regions of the world – Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceana. Every national flag in the world includes one of the five colours, which are blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The rings are connected and there is a reason for it. It’s done to show that the Games are for all nations. All good sportsmen can come and compete against one another in unity.
B. Read the text. Say if the statements are true, false or not stated.
When people all over the world are looking for a quick, easy meal, fast food is the most common choice. With good service, low prices and a relaxed atmosphere, fast food looks like the ideal choice. In fact, over 25 percent of Europeans eat fast food every day. Fries and hamburgers are sold everywhere: in big cities, small towns, shopping malls, airports, bus stations, schools, and even hospitals! There are 31,000 McDonald's worldwide.
However, fast food companies make clients eat more. They offer over-sized burgers, extra-large French fries, and big portions of Coke. What's more, these "large versions" are usually cheaper. The products have lots of calories, sugar and fat. A typical hamburger at a fast food restaurant weighs 170 grams. In 1957, it was just 50 grams. According to scientists, your fast food meal is like three ordinary meals.
Fast food doesn't spoil. This is because it has lots of “special” ingredients. There's a video on YouTube that illustrates this. It is based on a true story. In 1991, an engineer from the USA, Tom Scarvell, met with friends for New Year's Eve.
They stopped at McDonald's on the way home. He bought some cheeseburgers, ate one and put the other in his coat pocket. Then he forgot about it. A year later, he took the coat out of the wardrobe, put it on and discovered the cheeseburger in his pocket from New Year's Eve. It looked exactly the same. He was absolutely shocked. He told his friends and family but nobody believed him. So he decided to start a "burger museum" to show everyone that these cheeseburgers and hamburgers don’t decompose.
He started collecting burgers, one every year. He kept them on bookshelves in his living room in the open air. These burgers look exactly the same, the bun, the meat, the cheese, the special sauce, the cucumber, even the lettuce. They all kept their shape and colour for over five years!
It is surprising that although most people don't think that fast food is the best choice they can't stop going to fast food restaurants, like McDonald’s. The chain has healthy dishes on the menu, such as fruit and vegetables. Why not order them?
But you don’t go to McDonald’s for a green salad or a yoghurt! The unhealthy hamburgers, French fries and milkshakes are more common and attractive and to many people they are tastier than low calorie dishes.
There is no problem with eating fast food from time to time. If you really are dreaming about a hamburger, go and get it. But if you're having a stressful day, remember that lunch in a fast food restaurant is not a good choice. Doctors strongly recommend avoiding all fast food and takeaways these days. You can occasionally allow yourself a fast food meal. However, if you are eating it more than once a week, think of giving up.
Fast food should play a small role in your life. If you don't have a way out, have a fast food meal in one of McDonald’s restaurants but choose the healthier dishes. You should be aware of what you eat and try to develop healthy eating habits.

Why laughter is the best medicine?
A group of adults are lying in a circle on the floor listening to a recording of “The Laughing Policeman”. At first everyone feels ridiculous and there’s only the odd nervous giggle, but suddenly the laughter becomes real. It quickly spreads around the room until everyone is infected by it.
A _____________.
Doctors are starting to believe that laughter not only improves your state of mind, but actually affects your entire physical well-being. The people lying in a circle are attending a workshop to learn the forgotten art of laughter. B ______.
C _________. A French newspaper found that in 1930 the French laughed on average for nineteen minutes per day. By 1980 this had fallen to six minutes. Eighty per cent of the people questioned said that they would like to laugh more. Other research suggests that children laugh on average about 400 times a day, but by the time they reach adulthood this has been reduced to about fifteen times a day. D _________.
William Fry – a psychiatrist from California – studied the effects of laughter on the body. He got patients to watch Laurel and Hardy films, and monitored their blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tone. He found that laughter has a similar effect to physical exercise. It speeds up the heart rate, increases blood pressure and quickens breathing. E _________. Fry thinks laughter is a type of jogging on the sport.
Researches from Texas tested this F_____________. The first group listened to a funny cassette for twenty minutes, the second listened to a cassette intended to relax them, the third heard an informative tape, while the fourth group listened to no tape at all. Researchers found that if they produced pain in the students, those who had listened to the humorous tape could tolerate the discomfort for much longer.
- Somewhere in the process of growing up we lose an astonishing 385 laughs a day.
- It also makes our facial and stomach muscles work.
- Some have ever been referred by their family doctors.
- They divided forty students into four groups.
