Task 2. READING

Прочитайте текст и отметьте, являются ли утверждения после него верными или неверными. Если утверждение верное запишите TRUE. Если утверждение неверное, запишите FALSE.

Frank Truman is 8 years old. Like all small schoolchildren he is not a big fan of reading. His teachers say he doesn’t want to read in the classroom because he feels he can’t do it well.

But not on Wednesday! The reading lessons are different on that day. That’s when Dusty and Snooky come to school. Frank reads to them and they listen to him. They never say that he doesn’t read well. They are Frank’s reading companions and his biggest fans. And they are DOGS!

It started three years ago. Some teachers in New York saw that the children didn’t want to read at the lessons. It was so because when some pupil made mistakes his more clever classmates laughed at him. One teacher said, “If you are a bad reader, it’s difficult to read to children who can do it better than you.  It’s good to have a companion who doesn’t say that you can’t read well.” The teachers thought and decided that children could read to dogs.

Now every week in some schools in New York children read to dogs. Children say, “We like reading to dogs because we love these animals! They are cute and they don’t talk!” All pupils think it’s easier to read to dogs because dogs are very friendly listeners. They just sit and look at the young readers. They don’t say, “You are wrong!” – They just listen. Children start to feel very proud and want to try harder. They start to read faster and better.

Parents are also very happy about such reading lessons. Some families now keep dogs as pets and children can read to them at home.

7. Famous Etonians

 A. Eton College has educated boys (there are no girls at Eton) for nearly six centuries! Eton is a very old school. It was founded by King Henry VI (who was only 18 at that time). Henry`s aim was to give education to 700 poor boys so that they could then go to Cambridge University (which was founded at the same time). He wrote that the chosen boys should ‘have a good character, be good at reading, Latin grammar and singing’

 B. A lot of world – known people have been to Eton, including the novelists Henry Fielding, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Percy Shelley and Ian Fleming, 18 British prime, and, in recent years, Prince William and Prince Harry. Two important Etonians in British politics today are David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party, and Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London. Men who have been educated at Eton are called ‘Old Etonians’ and they often want to send their sons to Eton, too.

C. Jus like Harry Potter`s Hogwarts, Eton is a boarding school where boys live and study away from home. Each boy has his own small room with a bed and desk which he can decorate as he likes (within limits, of course) and where he can entertain his friends. Having your own room from the first day at school (even if you are only 13) is central to Eton`s philosophy. The teachers want their students to think independently and take responsibility for themselves.

E.  Students wear a strange old – fashioned school uniform. It consists of a black tailcoat (or morning coat), black pin – striped trousers, a black waistcoat, well – polished black shoes, a false – collar and a white tie. This uniform is not for special occasions, it is worn at all times and if you visit Eton, you`ll see the boys walking around the campus in these strange clothes. In the past Eton students also wore a top – hat and a walking – cane.

F. With its combination of excellent teachers and small classes, Eton gives its students a very good education. A personal tutor looks after the progress of every boy. When students leave Eton, they usually go to top universities, such as Oxford of Cambridge. Although the college looks old – fashioned, it is very well – equipped and has state – of – the – art laboratories. Every boy has a lap – top computer, and a network connects all classrooms and all boys` bedrooms to the Internet.

G. Languages are very important at Eton. Every boy takes at least two modern languages chosen from French, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. Students also study Latin for at least one year and many choose to study Greek as well. Outside the main timetable they may choose Chinese or Arabic. The academic year starts at the end of September and has three terms. The year finishes with the exams in early June.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the USA. Its celebration goes back to the 17th century when the first Europeans left England to travel to the New World. They called themselves Pilgrims and most of them left their motherland because they didn’t agree (to agree  - соглашаться) with the official religion in their country.

After the long and difficult journey on the Mayflower across the ocean, the Pilgrims found a place with fields and a stream of fresh water to drink and a lot of tall trees to use for house building. They gave the place the name of Plymouth and made their first colony there.

The first winter and spring in the new country were very hard for the Pilgrims. There was little food and the Pilgrims had great problems. Help came from the Indians who lived nearby. They taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn (кукуруза), how to gather food and dry some of it for winter use. With the Indians’ help the Pilgrims planted a lot of Indian corn. They worked hard and in autumn they had food for winter ahead. The Pilgrims decided to celebrate it and to thank God for helping them. The women got the food ready: prepared ducks and geese and fish from the stream, made some salads. Twenty Indian friends came and stayed there three days. That was how the tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving Day started.

The Coyote and the Snail

a)Mr Coyote didn’t want the other animals to know he was blind. He put two rose petals in his eyes. Along came Mr Snail who saw Mr Coyote with the rose petals in his eyes. He asked Mr Coyote, “Why do you have those rose petals in your eyes?” Mr Coyote said, “Because they are very beautiful. They have lovely colours. You can try them if you want and I will hold your eyes.” My Coyote put Mr Snail’s eyes into his head and ran off. To this day Mr Snail is crawling with his head down looking for his eyes.

b)Then the tree closed and said, “When you want to get out, say: “Please, let me out Mr Tree.”

c)Mr Coyote was getting very old. Once he walked for hours and hours through a beautiful valley and became very tired. He wanted to have a sleep. Suddenly he saw a large tree and asked it to let him in. The tree agreed. Then it opened up and Mr Coyote climbed inside.

d)Mr Coyote slept for hours. When he woke up he couldn’t remember the words to open the tree. He said, “Let me out Mr Tree, but nothing happened. It was so because the tree hadn’t heard the word “Please”. The Coyote didn’t know what to do and began shouting.

e)The birds heard his shouts. They came to help and Mr Wood pecker made a hole in the tree. But it was a very small hole. Mt Coyote tried to put his head through the hole, but couldn’t. His head was too big.

f)So he took off his ears and put them through the hole, then his eyes. Mt Crow saw the eyes and flew down to take them. Mr Coyote finally put his head through the hole and began to put himself back together one piece at a time, so he became a whole coyote again. But he couldn’t find his eyes.

Task 2: Read the text and answer the questions after it. Write down your short answers.

Destroying the Rainforest

Why are people destroying rainforests? There is a short answer to that question: money. Countries with rainforests cut down about 50,000 km2 (square kilometers) of trees every year, and sell the wood (древесина, дрова) to the rich countries of the world. International business buys rainforests in Latin America where land is very cheap. They cut down trees, sell the wood, and then use the land for feeding.

Japan doesn’t cut down the trees, which grow in Japan – but forty per cent of all the world’s rainforest wood goes to this country. Switzerland stopped buying rainforest wood in 1982. But have many countries done the same? If we want to help the rainforest, we must never buy furniture made of rainforest wood.

Many countries cut down rainforests and plant coffee and sugar, which they can sell to rich countries. Not many insects and animals can live in coffee and sugar plantations. A lot of them become endangered and die in the end.

We need to learn more about the trees of the rainforests, before we destroy them. For example, one famous tree is the petroleum nut tree, from Philippines. This tree makes oil, which we can use for fires for cooking or lighting. One of these trees can make fifty litres of oil every year.

People make roads in rainforests. Without the trees to protect the ground, the heavy rain quickly washes away the soil near the roads and nothing can grow there again. Once in Madagascar there were thousands of trees in the mountains and thousands of animals lived there. Nothing can grow there now, and no animals can live there.

Are we to destroy all the rainforests of the world? We must begin thinking of other ways to get money, we should begin planting young trees in the rainforests. We must think twice before cutting down trees in the rainforests. Certainly people will use the rainforests but they should protect them too.

Some Important Rules

Colds make more pupils miss classes that any other illnesses. Most teenagers get between two and four colds a year. No one knows why some people often get down with colds at certain times or why some do not get running noses, cough and headaches even if they sit or sleep in a cold room, do not dress warmly when it’s cold, or go outside with wet hair. But sooner or later everybody catches a cold.

The best plan to cure yourself of a cold is to drink plenty of water or juice and not coffee, tea, or cola drinks to keep enough water in your body. Think of what your body is telling you when you have a cold: sleep if you want to, have a warm bath to make aches and pains in the bones easier. And because you know how bad you can feel when you have a cold, protect the people around you by staying at home and coughing and sneezing into a handkerchief (носовой платок) and washing your hands often with warm water and soap.

Teens who catch colds usually don’t get very sick and don’t need to see a doctor. But you must see your doctor if you’re getting worse instead of getting better three days later after the beginning of the cold. Your doctor can examine your throat and ears to make sure you do not have another illness or develop complications and it is time for you to take antibiotics. Remember, you must not take aspirin or antibiotics without doctor’s recommendations.

If your doctor prescribes antibiotics, be careful to take the medicine exactly as he prescribes. If you stop taking it too soon – even if you start feeling better – the infection may not go away and you can develop other problems.

1)It is ________________ to say why and when people get colds.

a)easy                                   b)impossible                           c)possible

2)A drink that can’t help you to cure a cold is _______________

a)cola                                    b)juice                                    c)water

3)You can protect people around you by __________________

a)being at school                  b)staying at home                   c)meeting friends

4)But you must see a doctor if you’re getting _______________ after the beginning of the cold.

a)better                                 b)worse                                   c)ill

5)You _____________ take antibiotics without doctor’s recommendations.

a)needn’t                              b)must                                     c)mustn’t

6)Antibiotics are medicines we must ________________________________

a)take without doctor’s recommendations  b)stop  taking soon when we feel better

Some Important Rules

Colds make more pupils miss classes that any other illnesses. Most teenagers get between two and four colds a year. No one knows why some people often get down with colds at certain times or why some do not get running noses, cough and headaches even if they sit or sleep in a cold room, do not dress warmly when it’s cold, or go outside with wet hair. But sooner or later everybody catches a cold.

The best plan to cure yourself of a cold is to drink plenty of water or juice and not coffee, tea, or cola drinks to keep enough water in your body. Think of what your body is telling you when you have a cold: sleep if you want to, have a warm bath to make aches and pains in the bones easier. And because you know how bad you can feel when you have a cold, protect the people around you by staying at home and coughing and sneezing into a handkerchief (носовой платок) and washing your hands often with warm water and soap.

Teens who catch colds usually don’t get very sick and don’t need to see a doctor. But you must see your doctor if you’re getting worse instead of getting better three days later after the beginning of the cold. Your doctor can examine your throat and ears to make sure you do not have another illness or develop complications and it is time for you to take antibiotics. Remember, you must not take aspirin or antibiotics without doctor’s recommendations.

If your doctor prescribes antibiotics, be careful to take the medicine exactly as he prescribes. If you stop taking it too soon – even if you start feeling better – the infection may not go away and you can develop other problems.
