Task 1
Прочитайте текст и вопросы. На каждый вопрос 16-20 выберите правильный ответ A, B, C или D.
Five miles across the water from the town of Reachton the group of islands known as the Herndigs is situated. The main island is St George. Separated by a narrow channel of water is St George’s little sister, St Margaret. People first lived on these islands 1,500 years ago. By the 1950s population had gone down to below twenty and in 1960 the last person left the islands. But in 1991 two families moved back and since then more people have followed. Tourists now visit these islands regularly to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Visit the one shop on the islands, which sells butter, cheese and bread produced by the families who live there. The produce is also taken by boat to restaurants in Reachton where it can be enjoyed by visitors to the area. Perhaps more interestingly, a range of perfumes are made from the wild flowers and herbs which grow on the island and can be bought in the shop. They are produced mainly for export and are very special. So a visit to the shop is a must!
St George island is easily explored on foot, but in the interests of safety, visitors are requested to keep to the main footpaths. From where the boat lands, go along the cliff until you reach a steep path signposted to the church. When you get there it is worth spending a moment in this lovely old building. Carry on along the same path which continues to climb to the highest point on the island. There is a wonderful view from here along the coastline. If it is warm, you may like to finish your day relaxing on the beach. Priory beach on the eastern side of the island is safe for swimming. Sandtop Bay on the western side is the other sandy beach but swimming is not advised here.
It is possible to hire a boat across to the islands or you can take one of the boat trips which depart from Reachton harbour in summer, Monday – Friday. The islands are always open to the visitors apart from on Sundays. Buy a ticket for a boat trip from the kiosk in Reachton harbour. The charge for landing on the islands is included in the ticket but, if you take your own boat, remember to take some money. The crossing takes thirty minutes and boats run every fifteen minutes.
Before you set off on a trip, visit the exhibition centre which tells the history of the islands and gives information about birds and wildlife you may see when you get there.
16. Why had the population of the island gone down before 1961?
A Because people had left the island.
B Because the island is very far from Great Britain.
C Because of the environment.
D Because the islands had disappeared.
17. What souvenirs can tourists buy on the islands?
A Some exported dairy products.
B Some perfumes.
C Some food and perfumes.
D Some bread.
18. Why should visitors keep to the main footpaths?
A Because the islands are not inhabited.
B Because the roads are very bad.
C Because it is dangerous.
D Because there are no rescue teams.
19. Where is it better to swim?
A You cannot swim anywhere.
B From the Priory Beach.
C From the Sandtop Bay.
D In the Reachtonharbour.
20. When is landing on the islands free?
A If you go on Sunday.
B If you go in summer.
C If you go by your own boat.
D If you go by a boat trip.
Task 2
Read the text and mark the sentences (21-30) true(T) or false(F).
Police Spell Out Graffiti Mania Fears
A secret police report has built up a profile of the typical graffiti vandal. It seems that the average vandal is usually a male, aged 15 to 19, from poor family.
His “addictive habit” costs million of pounds every year, according to the report by British Transport Police anti – graffiti squad. They estimate that more than & 2 million is spent cleaning trains in London alone.
The report suggests that graffiti is the work of small groups. They are motivated by the need to get attention by making some form of statement. More than a third of the vandals who are caught do it again, which suggests that graffiti is addictive.
The survey of 150 graffiti vandals arrested last year showed that 40 per sent of offenders are university students or still at school – and 99 per sent are male. Just over 17 per sent are unemployed.
The report says graffiti is dangerous – four youngsters have been killed while trying to paint trains in the Underground.
The police have been visiting schools and writing to parents to try and prevent young people becoming vandals. They are also using handwriting experts to identify the “tags” of graffiti artists. In London alone there were over 150 graffiti arrests last year, but police recognize the vandals will continue unless they are stopped, because graffiti writing is so addictive.
21. Most graffiti vandals are men.___________
22. The police do not use handwriting experts. _______________
23. The majority of graffiti vandals are students. ______________
24. It is easy for graffiti vandals to stop. _________________
25. Graffiti writing can be dangerous._____________
26. Graffiti writing is against the law._________________
27. Graffiti artists act in big groups. _____________________
28. Graffiti is a form of statement.____________
29. There were 150 graffiti arrests last year. _______________
30. Forty per cent of 150 arrested vandals are unemployed. ______________

My snowboarding holiday
by Hannah Lane
I learned to ski when I was very small, because my parents
took my brothers and me to ski with them almost as soon as we could walk. So
when I started snowboarding at 11, I thought it would be easy. But on the first
day of a family snowboarding holiday, I got on my new snowboard and went down a
small hill – and immediately fell! I couldn’t stop, so if my brothers stopped
in front of me, I made them fall too! They were brilliant because they showed
me exactly what to do – but they laughed at me, too! 15
When I started to
improve, my parents decided to take us further up the mountain on a ski lift.
As we got higher, we could see right over the tops of the trees below. When we
got off the lift, we all jumped onto our snowboards and went down the mountain
– including me! And I was the first one of the family to get to the bottom!
My knees hurt a bit afterwards, but I was fine. I still think
I like skiing better, but I’d certainly like to try snowboarding again!

big mountain.

snowboard.

brothers.
A True B False
14. Hanna’s fingers hurt the next day because she fell down.
A True B False
15. Hanna has decided than she now prefers snowboarding to
skiing.

Ты с нетерпением 1) ждешь, когда пойдешь в школу или ты абсолютно боишься(dread) этого? Или, возможно, ты бы предпочел пойти в школу где-то еще! На этой неделе журнал Go рассмотрит, насколько разными бывают школы 2) в мире.
А.
В мире существует много видов школ. Некоторые дорогие, частные школы-интернаты, как, например Школа Регби в Англии, где была изобретена(inventend) игра регби! Также есть специальные школы, например школы драмы, танцевальные школы или 40 акробатических школ в Уцяо, в Китае. Это может звучать смешно, но как объясняет 13-летний Чжан Ли: «Наша тренировка(training) начинается 5:30 утра. Это очень тяжело, но эти навыки(skills) помогут мне 3) зарабатывать на жизнь, когда я закончу школу». Также в разных школах огромное количество учебных предметов. В Средней школе Холдена в США, предметы включают в себя рисование комиксов, уроки фотографии, написание песен и йогу.
В.
В школе в горах Аннапурна в Непале, занятия не начинаются раньше 10 утра потому, что многие ученики вынуждены пройти пешком час, чтобы добраться до школы. В Японии нет ничего необычного(unusual) в том, чтобы 4) тратить 2 часа или больше, чтобы добраться до школы на общественном транспорте(public trasport) «Это не так уж и плохо» — говорит 15-летний Кейко из Токио. «Иногда я учусь или сплю в поезде, и это хороший способ догнать моих друзей 5) по учебе».
С.
Средняя продолжительность учебного дня в Великобритании и США – 6 с половиной часов для учащихся средней школы. Ученикам в Корее и Греции, 6) однако не так повезло! После школы они посещают(attend) дополнительные занятия в частных школах. «Обычно, — говорит Джи Ким из Сеула, Южная Корея, — я не возвращаюсь домой раньше полуночи, но если я не буду упорно заниматься, я не 7) поступлю в хороший университет».
D.
Во всех школах есть правила, но иногда они действительно строгие(strict). В колледже Итон, очень известной школе-интернате для мальчиков в Англии, студенты носят изящную(smart), но очень старомодную форму(old-fashioned unifom) с длинным пиджаком, штанами и рубашкой; в Японии все должны участвовать(participate) в «о содзи» или уборке школы перед тем, как идти домой, в то время как в школе Саммерхилл в Англии, где студенты сами придумывают правила!
Е.
Итак, твоя школа лучше или хуже, чем школы в других частях мира? Неважно каков твой ответ, мы не должны забывать, что у 300 миллионов детей в мире нет школ, чтобы в них ходить. Так что если ты даже захочешь изменить какие-то вещи в своей школе, ты один из счастливчиков!

Dogs help people get well.
Joan Gray is a nurse. Often her patients are people who have now returned home from hospital but are not ready to go back to work. She also spends a lot of her time visiting people still in hospital. 1( ).
They look forward to seeing her, especially because she doesn’t go alone. She takes her dog, Bertie, with her. Joanne says that Bertie makes her patients feel better. Bertie started going to work with Joanne four years ago and she is sure that he has made a real difference. » Bertie is brilliant with people», she says. » For example, he helps patients who cannot use their arms very well. 2( ).
He can also help patients who are very nervous or depressed. They tell me they feel calmer and happier when he is with them.
Joanne realized several years ago how much her patients enjoyed seeing an animal. “I used to have a cat that I took with me sometimes on my visits. My patients always asked me about him and all said they loved seeing him. 3( ). It’s easier to take a dog to see someone.
Research shows that pets can reduce stress and help people get better more quickly from all sorts of illnesses. 4( ). For instance, one man in hospital didn’t want to talk to anyone but he spoke to Bertie. He told him he hated the hospital food and didn’t like the people in the beds next to him. So the hospital was then able to get him the food he liked. 5( ).
