From «The
Dove Who Spoke the Truth.»
by Abbie Farwell Brown (adapted) The Curious Book of Birds
The dove and the bat were once caught in a storm and
came to old Master Owl to ask him for a shelter.
(0)
Gruffly (GRUFF) the old owl bade them enter, and
(1) (GRUDGE) invited them to share his supper.
The poor dove was so tired that she could
(2)
(SCARCE) eat, but the (3) (GREED)
bat’s spirits rose as soon as he saw the viands spread before him. He was a sly
fellow, and (4) (IMMEDI
ATE) began to flatter his host into good humor. He praised the owl’s (5)
(WISE) and his courage, his (6) (GALLANT)
and his (7) (GENEROUS) – though every
one knew that however wise old Master
Owl might be, he was neither brave nor gallant.
During this time the dove sat quite still staring at the bat, and wondering to hear such
(8) (SINCERE) speeches of (9) (FLATTER).
(10) (SUDDEN) the owl turned to her.
«As for you, Miss Pink Eyes,» he said gruffly,
«you keep (11) (CARE)
(12) (SILENT).
Pray, have you nothing to say for yourself?»
«Yes,» exclaimed the mischievous bat; «our kind host deserves
some return for this
(13) (WONDER),
(14) (AGREE),
(15) (TASTE),
(16) (LUXURY), and altogether (17) (ACCEPT)
banquet. Have you no praise for his noble character as well as for his (18) (GOOD)
to us? You do not deserve such (19) (HOSPITAL).»
The dove remained silent. She could not speak (20) (TRUTH)
even for her own (21) (HAPPY).
«You are an (22) (GRATEFUL) bird, Miss, and the bat is right. Leave my
(23) (DWELL)!
« snarled the owl.
And the two (24) (HEART)
(25) (CREATE) fell upon the poor little dove
and drove her out into the dark and (26) (STORM) night…
TASK 8
Read the text below.
Think what part of speech you must
form to fill the gaps. Add suffixes
or prefixes to the words given in capitals. There is an example at the beginning.
A city is a (0) relatively (RELATIVE) large
and permanent (1) (SETTLE). Although
there is no (2) (AGREE) on how a city is
distinguished from a town within general English
language (3) (MEAN),
many cities have a particular
(4) (ADMINISTRATE), legal, or (5) (HISTORY)
status based on local law.
Towns and cities have a long history. A city formed
as (6) (CENTRE) places of trade facilitates
(7) (INTERACT) of all kinds. Benefits
include reduced transport costs, sharing of (8) (NATURE)
resources, (9) (RUN) water, sewage (10) (DISPOSE)
and many others. Possible costs would include higher rate of crime,
higher (11) (MORTAL) rates, higher
cost of
(12) (LIVE), worse (13) (POLLUTE), etc.
In the first true towns the inhabitants were no longer (14) (SIMPLE)
(15) (FARM) of the (16) (SURROUND) area, but began to take on
specialized (17) (OCCUPY). Trade, food (18) (STORE)
and power was centralized there.
One (19) (CHARACTER) that can be used to distinguish a small city from
a large town is organized (20) (GOVERN). A
town accomplishes common goals through (21) (FORMAL)
(22) (AGREE) between neighbors or the (23) (LEADER)
of a chief. A city has (24) (PROFESSION)
(25) (ADMINISTRATE), (26) (REGULATE), and some form of
(27) (TAX) to feed the (28) (GOVERN)
(29) (WORK). Societies that live in cities
are often called (30) (CIVILIZE).

PART 3 — TECHNOLOGY
3.3 SKIMMING: Read the text once for the gist (overall idea) and then in detail:
1Almost everyone with or without a computer is aware of the latest technological revolution destined to change forever the way in which humans communicate, namely, the Information Superhighway, best exemplified by the ubiquitous Internet. Already, millions of people around the world are linked by computer simply by having a modem
5and an address on the ‘Net’, in much the same way that owning a telephone links us to almost anyone who pays a phone bill. In fact, since the computer connections are made via the phone line, the Internet can be envisaged as a network of visual telephone links. It remains to be seen in which direction the Information Superhighway is headed, but many believe it is the educational hope of the future.
10The World Wide Web, an enormous collection of Internet addresses or sites, all of which can be accessed for information, has been mainly responsible for the increase in interest
in the Internet in the 1990s. Before the World Wide Web, the ‘Net’ was comparable to an integrated collection of computerised typewriters, but the introduction of the ‘Web’ in 1990 allowed not only text links to be made but also graphs, images and even video.
15A Web site consists of a ‘home page’, the first screen of a particular site on the computer to which you are connected, from where access can be had to other subject related ‘pages’ at the site and to thousands of other computers all over the world. This is achieved by
a process called ‘hypertext’. By clicking with a mouse device on various parts of the screen, a person connected to the ‘Net’ can go travelling, or ‘surfing’ through
20a web of pages to locate whatever information is required.
Anyone can set up a site; promoting your club, your institution, your company’s products or simply yourself, is what the Web and the Internet is all about. And what is more,
information on the Internet is not owned or controlled by any one organisation. It is, perhaps, true to say that no-one and therefore everyone owns the ‘Net’. Because of
25the relative freedom of access to information, the Internet has often been criticised by the media as a potentially hazardous tool in the hands of young computer users. This perception has proved to be largely false however, and the vast majority of users both young and old get connected with the Internet for the dual purposes for which it was intended — discovery and delight.
