Belle (Is the only word)
Красавица (единственное слово)
Quasimodo
Belle
Is the only word I know
That suits her well
When she dances
Oh the stories she can tell
A free bird trying out her wings
To fly away
And when I see her move
I see hell to pay
She dances naked in my soul
And sleep won’t come
And it’s no use to pray
These prayers to Notre dame
Tell, who’d be the first to raise his hand
And throw a stone
I’d hang him high
And laugh to see him die alone
Oh Lucifer please let me go beyond god’s law
And run my fingers through her hair, Esmeralda
Frollo
Belle,
There’s a demon inside her
Who came from hell
And he turned my eyes
From God and oh, I fell
She put this heat inside me
I’m ashamed to tell
Without my god inside
I’m just a burning shell
The sin of Eve she has in her
I know so well
For want of her I know
I’d give my soul to sell
Belle, this gypsy girl
Is there a soul beneath her skin
And does she bear
The cross of all our human sin
Oh Notre dame please let me go beyond god’s law
Open the door of love inside, Esmeralda
Phoebus
Belle,
Even though her eyes
Seem to lead us to hell
She may be more pure,
More pure than words can tell
But when she dances
Feelings come no man can quell
Beneath her rainbow coloured dress
There burns the well
My promised one,
Please let me one time be untrue.
Before in front of god
And man I marry you
Who would be the man
Who’d turn from her to save his soul
To be with her
I’d let the devil take me whole.
Oh Fleur-de-lys I am a man who knows no law
I go to open up the rose, Esmeralda
Quasimodo, Frollo, Phoebus
She dances naked in my soul
And sleep won’t come
And it’s no use to pray
These prayers to Notre dame
Tell, who’d be the first to raise his hand
And throw a stone
I’d hang him high
And laugh to see him die alone
Oh Lucifer please let me go beyond god’s law
And run my fingers through her hair, Esmeralda
Квазимодо:
Красавица —
Единственное известное мне слово,
Что подходит ей.
Когда она танцует,
Сколько сказок она может рассказать!
Вольная птица, пробующая расправить крылья,
Чтобы взлететь.
И когда я вижу её движения —
Я пропадаю!
Она нагой танцует в моей душе,
Я не могу заснуть.
И бесполезно молиться
Божьей Матери.
Кто, кто первый подымет руку
И бросит в неё камень?
Я повешу его и засмеюсь,
Видя, как он умирает!
О, Люцифер, позволь мне обойти Божий закон
И провести пальцами сквозь её волосы, Эсмеральды!
Фролло:
Красавица,
Внутри неё — демон,
Явившийся прямиком из Ада.
Он отвернул мой взор от Господа,
Я низко пал.
Она вселяет в меня жар,
О котором мне стыдно рассказывать,
Без Бога в душе
Я — лишь горящая шелуха.
Я точно знаю,
Она в ней сокрыт грех Евы,
Но желая её,
Я готов продать свою душу.
Красавица, есть ли
Душа под её цыганской кожей?
А может, она несет
Крест за все людские грехи?
О, Божья Матерь, позволь мне обойти Божий закон.
Открой же дверь своей любви, Эсмеральда!
Феб:
Красавица,
Кажется, даже глазами
Она заведет нас в преисподнюю.
Возможно, она намного,
Намного чище, чем могут описать слова.
Но, когда она танцует,
Ни один мужчина не может подавить свои чувства.
За платьем цветов радуги
Огнем горит счастье.
Нареченная моя,
Лишь раз позволь мне быть неверным,
До того, как пред лицом Бога и людей
Я женюсь на тебе.
Кто сумеет
Отвернуться от неё, чтобы спастись?
Я бы отдал всего себя дьяволу,
Только чтобы быть с нею.
О, Флер-де-Лис, для меня нет законов,
Я заставлю расцвести розу Эсмеральды.
Квазимодо, Фролло, Феб:
Она нагой танцует в моей душе,
Я не могу заснуть.
И бесполезно молиться
Божьей Матери.
Кто, кто первый подымет руку
И бросит в неё камень?
Я повешу его и засмеюсь,
Видя, как он умирает!
О, Люцифер, позволь мне обойти Божий закон
И провести пальцами сквозь её волосы, Эсмеральды!

The Benefits of Modern Technology
Modern technology has brought about enormous improvements in communications and yet many people are still very worried A22 about using the latest computer technology. I am often surprised to meet people who still don’t know what the ‘e’ in e-mail stands for and they are too A23 embarrassed to ask. They assume you have to be skilled A24 in computers to send a message via e-mail but in fact it is the simplest thing in the world.
It is also cheaper to send an e-mail message than to send an ordinary letter or a ‘snail’ message which also takes much longer. An e-mail message is only A25 slightly more expensive than a local telephone call to send; on top of the call itself you also have to pay a fee to your ‘server’. If you send a letter by A26 first-class mail it will take a couple of days to get there whereas an e-mail will not take longer than a few seconds.
Once you become A27 accustomed to using the system you will be amazed at how much more A28 efficient it is than other means of communication. Of course, before you have access to e-mail, you will need a fairly powerful computer, which can be quite expensive.

When she dances oh the stories she can tell.
A free bird trying out her wings to fly away.
And when I see her move I see hell to pay.
She dances naked in my soul and sleep won’t come.
And it’s no use to pray these prayers to Notre dame.
Tell, who’d be the first to raise his hand and throw a stone.
I’d hang him high and laugh to see him die alone.
Oh Lucifer please let me go beyond god’s law.
And run my fingers through her hair, Esmeralda.
Frollo:
Belle, there’s a demon inside her who came from hell.
And he turned my eyes from god and oh, I fell.
She put this heat inside me I’m ashamed to tell.
Without my god inside I’m just a burning shell.
The sin of eve she has in her I know so well.
For want of her I know I’d give my soul to sell.
Belle, this gypsy girl is there a soul beneath her skin.
And does she bear the cross of all our human sin.
Oh Notre dame please let me go beyond gods law.
Open the door of love inside, Esmeralda.
Phoebus:

Functions of computers
Computer is one of the inventions of the 20th century that changed the world greatly. The first computers of the 1940th were enormous. But now they are almost in every family and in every office building. Some machines do only one job, some of them are multifunctional, but no device is as multifunctional as computer. The parts of the computer (or its hardware) remain the same, you change only the program (software) and your computer immediately learns to do various things. A browser program is designed to look at pages on the Internet (you can also say «to browse», this accounts for the word «browser»). A word processor program lets you print texts and then change styles of fonts and sizes of pages. A database program is used for searching and sorting records. Such programs are used at shops, libraries, hospitals, accountant offices and many other places. They make work with great amounts of data much quicker. Computers are found everywhere and used in every sphere of life. At a plant one can make a computer model of a car or plane and check its resistance to stress. Such calculations without a computer could have taken several months. Computer is also used at school: children watch presentations, films and web pages. This help them to study effectively. Computers also have some disadvantages. there is a famous joke that computers are designed to solve problems but half of the time they are the problem. As computer is a complicated device, one small breakage may stop its work. Moreover, the equipment is soon out of date. Besides, there is a problem of compatibility. First of all, there are hardware devices which cant work with the old operating system, such as a processor, a hard disk drive, a video card, etc. Then, there are programs which need more resources than computer actually has. Thirdly, computers become more and more complicated, and much effort is required to learn how to work with them. Fourthly, computer viruses cause a lot of trouble – they can spoil, remove or steal computer data, and every user knows it well from his personal experience. And on top of all, computer is a multifunctional device, as we already know, so it can be used both to do work and to entertain oneself. Children often fall prey to computer and Internet: they play computer games, spend their free time chatting with friends on the Internet and doing practically nothing. This aspect cant be denied. To crown it all, computer is a useful device like many others, designed to help people. But its our own free will that lets us use it in order not to waste time but to get best results

1. When was computer invented?
2. Is computer a multifunctional device?
3. What types of programs for computer can you name?
4. In what spheres of life can computers be used?
5. Computers have many disadvantages, dont they?
6. What is the main disadvantage?
