Shopping Hours in Britain

Shopping hours in Britain are changing. Until a few years ago, shops were opened at nine o’clock in the morning and closed at half past five or six o’clock in the evening. Some also were closed for an hour for lunch. In many towns, shops were closed on Wednesday afternoons. On Sundays, nothing was open. But now some shops are opened for longer hours. Some big shops and many supermarkets never close! If you need a litre of milk or some bread at midnight, you can easily buy it.

For people who work long hours or people who often work at night or early in the morning, like doctors, the new shopping hours are good. If someone finishes work at five o’clock in the morning, they can go to the supermarket on their way home and buy some breakfast or a newspaper or anything else they may need.

But not everyone thinks the new shopping hours are a good thing. Some people say that Sunday is a holiday – who wants to work in a supermarket on a Sunday? But shops are very busy at the weekend and longer shopping hours are here to stay.

1. Travelling

One beautiful spring morning right after my 12^th birthday my parents and I decided to travel. My mom told me to pack up my things. It was warm and sunny and I decided to take a pair of jeans, a sweater, a couple of football shirts and the sun glasses, of course. We went to the seashore. It was a little windy there and I saw as great waves were coming on the beach. The birds were flying above the water, they were looking for the fish, I guess.

Later it was found out that we had neighbours. It was also a family from Utah. It took them a week to come there. Very soon I saw a girl of my age. She was walking with her dog. The girl’s name was Tracy. We liked to walk together with her dog, his name was Spike, he used to run along the beach and make a lot of splashes. Very soon we became friends.

After a week we came back home, but Tracy and I are still friends. Every week I write her a long letter and we often remember our spring holidays.

The Travellers and the Bear.

It was a wonderful day. Through the thick leaves of the trees the sunlight played on the grass and flowers, on the bushes. But the two travellers who were walking through the forest were not happy at all. Their loud voices rang through the trees.

“Will you stop worrying?” cried one of the travellers in a loud voice. “Nothing is going to happen. I’ll look after you. Everything will be all right. So let’s try to enjoy the fine weather.”

His friend heard all this, but it didn’t help. He was so afraid that every little sound made him jump. He was sure that wild animals were waiting to jump at them.

A second later a great bear jumped out in front of the travellers. There was no time to think. It was too late to run away. The first traveller, who had promised so much, was light and quick on his feet. He climbed up the nearest tree as fast as he could and disappeared among the thick green leaves.

The second traveller was not so quick. When he saw that his friend had left him, he fell flat on the ground, held his breath, and lay very still.

The bear looked at him, quite surprised. This was something new and strange that the animal could not understand.

The bear moved slowly around the man, it sniffed him over, it touched the traveller’s ear with its nose. The traveller lay quite still, like a dead man. Was it true that bears didn’t touch dead bodies? Would the bear leave him alone?

Seconds passed. Each one seemed as long as a lifetime. At last the bear lifted its head. With an angry cry it left the man and ran off into the woods again.

The traveller in the tree climbed down. His face was white. “Tell me, my friend,” he said, ”what did the bear whisper in your ear?”

“He told me,” answered the other, “to be careful with a friend who runs away when danger comes.”

1. Write down whether the following statements are true or false.

1. The two travellers who were walking through the forest were talking loudly.

2. The weather was fine.

3. When a great bear had jumped out in front of the travellers, the first traveller climbed up the nearest tree as fast as he could.

4. The second traveller disappeared among the thick leaves.

5. The bear whispered:” Be careful with a friend who runs away when danger comes.”

1. Answer the following questions.

4. Why didn’t the bear touch the second man?

Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein. His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time, space, matter, energy, and gravity. Einstein’s work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy, even television as a practical application of Einstein’s work.

In 1902 Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern. In 1905, at the age of 26, he published the first of five major research papers. The first one provided a theory explaining Brownian movement, the zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension. The second paper laid the foundation for the photon, or quantum, theory of light. In it he proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy, called quanta or photons, that have some of the properties of particles and some of the properties of waves. A third paper contained the «special theory of relativity» which showed that time and motion are relative to the observer, if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe. The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. In 1916, Einstein published his general theory of relativity. In it he proposed that gravity is not a force, but a curve in the space-time continuum, created by the presence of mass.

Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism, the exalting of one nation above all others. He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism, the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they denounced his ideas. He then moved to the United States. In 1939 Einstein learned that two German chemists had split the uranium atom. Einstein wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany developing an atomic bomb. He suggested the United States begin its own atomic bomb research.

THE FUR COAT

Mrs Melrose was taking the night train from London to Glasgow. It was three o’clock in the morning and she was trying to sleep but couldn’t. The heater wasn’t working. The compartment was very cold. Mrs Melrose had a very expensive fur coat. She wrapped it around her and curled up on the seat. There was only one other person in the compartment – a woman.

At about half past three in the morning Mrs Melrose left the compartment to get a drink. When she came back she got a nasty shock. The other woman was wearing her fur coat.

Mrs Melrose said, «How dare you! Give me back my coat at once, or I’ll call the guard!»

The other woman just smiled and said it was her coat. So Mrs Melrose ran out to get the guard.

The guard didn’t know what to do. He had no idea who was the real owner of the fur coat. He said, «When we get into Glasgow I’d better take you both to the police.»

An hour later Mrs Melrose and the other woman were in Glasgow Central Police Station. A young policewoman was trying to find out who owned the coat.

«It’s mine!» said Mrs Melrose. «Look inside and you will see my name and address on the label.»

When the policewoman looked inside the coat she couldn’t find any label. The other woman had taken it out.

The policewoman said, «I must take this coat away and examine it.»

She left the room and came back a few minutes later. She looked at both the women and said, «I am afraid the owner of this coat is in very serious trouble. When I was examining the coat I found this inside the lining.»

The policewoman held up a small plastic bag full of white powder. She said, «This is a very dangerous drug. The owner of this coat may go to prison for a long time.»

When she heard this, the other woman stood up and said, «Oh… well… perhaps I was wrong. It wasn’t my coat after all.» Then she left the police station as fast as she could.

Mrs Melrose was very upset. She said, «This is my coat. But I don’t know anything about those drugs. That woman must have put them in the lining.»

The policewoman handed Mrs Melrose her coat. She smiled and said, «Don’t worry, Mrs Melrose. I am sure you are the real owner of this coat. And by the way I didn’t find anything in the lining. This is a packet of salt I borrowed from the canteen.»

My Holidays

On New Year’s Eve a few years ago, I decided to go skiing for the first time with two friends. They are the complete opposite of me in that they are really brave and fearless — they’ve been skiing and diving all their lives, whereas I’m a bit of a coward. Surprisingly, however, I enjoyed it very much and the second we went I felt much more confident and decided to move away from skiing on the nursery slopes. I was doing really well and skiing down quite a steep slope when I heard one of my friends say, «Wow, Barbara, you’re moving fast» I thought, «Yes, I am, am not I — but how do I stop?» Suddenly all my confidence left me and I fell very badly. I didn’t break anything but I twisted my knee. The rest of the holiday was spent sitting on top of the mountain, looking after everybody’s bags and coats.

If I’m honest, I prefer going somewhere hot and sunny for a holiday. I love going to Thailand, for example, and staying in one of the beautiful resorts on the coast. The people are extremely friendly and in one hotel we stayed at we got to know the chef quite well and he would take us round the market with him. And one of the waiters took us to visit his uncle who owns a coconut farm. It’s only in ways like this that you begin to get a feel for the country and its people, as these kinds of opportunities are not available for the average tourist.

I’m not a rough kind of person: I did enough of that when I was younger. The trouble with me is that I have a genuine problem with mosquitoes — they abso­lutely adore me! If I get bitten, the bites turn into mini-balloons all over my body. Once when we were travelling by jeep during the monsoon season, the rain was so heavy that we stopped in a village. A young Thai boy noticed this huge bite on my arm, which was going a funny colour, and looked as if it might be infected. He picked some leaves of a tree and made a mixture of them using some salt and a little alcohol and then rubbed the mixture into my arm. You could see the infection disappear: it was amazing, it was like letting the air out of a balloon.

I am an actress and generally, after I’ve finished a run of performances in a play, I feel exhausted, but not too tired to escape! All I want to do is to find a hotel with a fantastic view, a beach, a good book and a mosquito net. My needs are very simple, really, and I just want the opportunity to refresh myself. Sometimes I might consid­er a holiday in a completely different environment, like visiting a friend in a country cottage or staying in a small bed and breakfast place and walking in the sur­rounding hills. It’s good for my soul.

Script

Interviewer: Some people climb mountains, some run marathons, some people write books. Why a book?

Dave: Well, I think it’s because I’ve had an ambition to write since I was very young. I’ve always read a lot. My parents ran a bookshop in the town we used to live in.

I’ve always wanted to write. It’s quite pleasant and enjoyable, if things work.

I had been doing short stories for a while, but didn’t publish anything. When I got older I took this writing business more seriously. I thought I might write some sort of crime novel. And so I did.

Interviewer: But why crime?

Dave: It’s a lot easier to publish a genre novel like crime or science fiction…They are always a commercial success.

Interviewer: What do you like about it?

Dave: A bit of action…, reality and unexpected turns in the plot.

Interviewer: Have you ever tried anything else?

Dave: Well, I’ve published four crime novels and one…young people’s novel… which is maybe for age 12 and above…

I’ve written another book, which is a life story… It’s about my father but I haven’t published it yet. I don’t know if I will…as it won’t make any big money, I guess.

Interviewer: What do you think is the key to a good crime novel?

Dave: Mostly you have to keep your reader’s interest with a lot of action. But that doesn’t mean that you should have it on every page. You need an original idea, a vivid setting and real characters to move the plot forward. It always works…

Interviewer: Would you like to screen your novels?

Dave: Well, I haven’t thought about it. Probably not. I’m not a great fan of TV crime serials…

A Climb That Wasn’t Fun

Imagine a snowstorm close to the summit of a 6,000-meter peak in the Andes. On the descent, your climbing partner slips in dangerous conditions. His leg is badly broken. For hours you struggle to lower him down the mountainside. The cold is unbearable, and you must battle fatigue and dehydration. Then disaster strikes afresh: tied to the rope, your friend slips over an unseen cliff. The sound of his cries is lost in the blizzard. As he dangles below, you cannot know whether he is alive or dead, but his weight is pulling you certainly to the edge. Without prompt action, you will die. Do you cut the rope?

It’s the stuff of nightmares – and now a powerful film as well. The British-made documentary, “Touching the Void” recreates the ordeal of two young British climbers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, who were trapped on the side of a forbidding Peruvian peak, back in 1985. So how was the moral crisis resolved? The thousands who read Simpson’s best-selling book, also called “Touching the Void” will already know: Yates cut the rope.

But the full force of both the book and the movie lies in the sequel to that decision. Against all odds, Simpson survived a 50-meter plunge into a crevasse. Unable to climb out, he crawled down into the depths in search of a route back to the daylight. His luck held. Driven by stubborn determination, he hopped and crawled down the mountainside for two agonizing days, reaching base camp in a state of delirium just as Yates was preparing to leave.

Actors and stuntmen play out the story on the mountainside. But the most of the narrative comes from Simpson and Yates themselves, speaking directly to the camera against a neutral background. Simpson, in particular, tells an articulate tale – but don’t expect tortured self-analysis or lyrical description. Mountaineers, especially British ones, are shy of gut-spilling.

So much the better. The dispassionate style throws into relief the horror of the events described and the awesome savagery of the Andes backdrop. Yet the calm delivery is deceiving, neither man has quite escaped psychological scarring. Simpson has told how he suffered posttraumatic stress after revisiting the Andes with the film crew. And since filming ended, Yates has broken off all contact with the director. He’s reportedly unhappy with the film.

Simpson survived, but what about his friendship with Yates? The relationship between the two main characters did survive their ordeal. As the movie makes clear, Simpson never questions Yates’s decision to cut the rope. Indeed, among his first actions on regaining base camp is to thank Yates for his help after the original accident. One reason Simpson chose to publish his memoir was to remove the blame from Yates, who came under attack for breaking a taboo of the mountaineering brotherhood. As a climber, Simpson understood the need for realism in moments of crisis. He summarizes his own attitude with heroic understatement. Climbing was “fun” he says. “But sometimes things went wrong, then it wasn’t fun’ For proof just watch “Touching the Void”

7) When the crisis occurred, Yates took action based on…

a) a code of honor in which climbers help each other to the death;

b) a book of rules that governs all climbing expeditions;

c) a need to make a decision for self-survival;

d) what he believed the public would think of his actions.

c) based on the need to change the laws of mountaineering brotherhood;

d) based on the need to produce the movie.

9) The main lesson learned from this story is…

a) never trust a friend;

b) trust yourself when no one else can help you;

“The Wheel”

Interviewer: Excuse me, what’s the first thing that you associate with the word “wheel”?

Speaker 1: Well, the will? It’s about cars, I guess. I simply love driving my car. It’s brand new. I haven’t traveled much in it but it’s amazing – it can reach the speed of 180 km per hour. It’s quite comfortable. My best friend says I’m going to crash it one day if I keep speeding like this. But he’s wrong. He thinks that only BMWs are safe. I don’t agree. Why doesn’t he try my Opel instead, I wonder?

Interviewer: OK – let’s ask a second person. Excuse me, what’s the first thing that you associate with the word “wheel’?

Speaker 2: Oh, obviously “The Wheel of Fortune”. You have heard the name, I’m sure. I watch this TV competition every Friday with my family. My dad especially is crasy about it. He knows a lot of words and he particularly good at guessing the final category phrases. Once I told him to take part in it, but he said he wouldn’t guess a single word. I don’t believe him. I’m sure he would do well!

Interviewer: And now for a third person. Excuse me, what’s the first thing that you associate with the word “wheel’?

Speaker 3: Well, I associate this word with something round. Let me think. Oh, yes. Last year I visited Stonehenge. It’s a popular tourist attraction in Wiltshire. It consists of a group of very large, tall stones arranged in circles. As far as I know, they were put there in pre-historic times perhaps as a way to study the sun, the moon and the stars. It’s incredibly beautiful and has its own character. I’m going to go there again this summer.

Interviewer: Let’s ask someone else – number four. Excuse me, what’s the first thing that you associate with the word “wheel’?

Speaker 4: Wheel, you say? Of course, I’d say two wheels as I’m thinking about my bike. I lived in Holland for a few years. It’s normal for people there to travel around the city by bike. I got used to riding it so much that I’d find it very difficult to live without it. I don’t have a driving licence so my bike makes my life much easier.

Interviewer: And one last person. Excuse me, what’s the first thing that you associate with the word “wheel’?

Speaker 5: Are you asking me about means of transport? Well, I prefer trains. I live far from the city centre. No car. No direct bus either. The only way of getting into town is by train. But it’s so time-consuming. I don’t like it but at least I have time to go over an article or two, so that before I get to work I know what’s going on in the world.

The Ring and the Fish.

Thomas and Inger, who live in Sweden, are the happiest couple in the world. Two years ago, they were on a boat a few kilometres from the beach. Thomas asked Inger to marry him and he gave her a gold ring. He wanted to put the ring on Inger’s finger, but he dropped it and it fell into the sea. They were sure the ring was lost for ever.

That is, until last week, when Mr Carlsson visited them. He has a fish shop and he found the ring in a large fish which he was cutting up for one of his customers. The fish thought the ring was something to eat! Mr Carlsson knew that the ring belonged to Thomas and Inger because inside the ring there were some words. They were, ‘To Inger, All my love, Thomas’. And so Mr Carlsson gave the ring back to them.

Inger now has two rings. When they lost the first one, Thomas bought Inger another one. But they think the one the fish ate is the best one.

Example:  Thomas and Inger’s home is in Sweden.

Аудио к заданию:

− Grandad, this old photography exhibition is very interesting. Look! This picture is from 1900s. Does that building still exist today?
− No, that was the “Cathedral” hotel. Today in its place there is a modern building – the College of Music.
− I see. Grandad, was Manchester very different when you were young?
− Yes, a lot of things have changed but it has never stopped to be interesting city to live in.
− Really? What was different by then?
− First of all, a lot of people worked in the mines. It was really hard work and very dangerous. And back then Manchester wasn’t as beautiful as it is now. Market Street, for example, was busy with people doing their shopping but it didn’t have as many nice buildings as it does today.
− Oh, yes. Those modern glass buildings are very beautiful but I like old buildings like the Portico Library.
− Oh, the Library! It had so many visitors back then!
− It’s still the same. A lot of people visit the Portico Library today, even though they’ve got televisions and the Internet.
− That’s true!

Перевод аудио:

− Дедушка, эта старинная фотовыставка очень интересна. Смотри! Это фото 1900−х годов. Это здание все еще существует сегодня?
− Нет, это была гостиница «Собор». Сегодня на его месте находится современное здание − Музыкальный колледж.
− Понятно. Дедушка, Манчестер был совсем другим, когда ты был молод?
− Да, многое изменилось, но жить в этом городе всегда интересно.
− В самом деле? Что изменилось с того времени?
− Во−первых, много людей работало на шахтах. Это была действительно тяжелая работа и очень опасная. И тогда Манчестер не был таким красивым, как сейчас. Маркет−стрит, например, была заполнена людьми, делавшими покупки, но на ней было не так много красивых зданий, как сегодня.
− О, да. Эти современные стеклянные здания очень красивы, но мне нравятся старые здания, такие как библиотека Портик.
− О, библиотека! Тогда в ней было столько посетителей!
− Все до сих пор также. Многие люди сегодня посещают библиотеку Портик, даже несмотря на то, что у них есть телевизоры и Интернет.
− Это правда!
