Pyotr Kapitsa was a famous Russian physicist. He was born on 8^th July, 1894 in Krnstadt.

When he was a student, he stopped his studies to work as an ambulance driver during WWI. He graduated in 1918 and then moved to England to work with Ernest Rutherford. He made a number of discoveries related to magnetic fields and he became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1929. He started doing research in low temperatures in the 1930s which led to his discovery of superfluidity in 1937. He helped to start the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and he taught there for many years. From 1957, he was a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1978 for his work in 1937.

Kapitsa died on 8th April, 1984, but people remember him as a great physicist and his discoveries are still very important in astrophysics.

Он получил Нобелевскую премию по физике в 1978 году за свою работу в 1937 году.

  Rail Minister Theresa Villiers explained that although the UK
  government needs to manage money very carefully, it is committed to
  spending considerable sums on transport through vital projects such
  as the Thameslink upgrade, Crossrail, the proposed High Speed rail
  network, and more electrification of the rail network.

  The new Blackfriars Railway station in London is being fitted

  others all over the country to become more environmentally

  the UK from the effects of climate change.

  B So, how long has it been damaged for?

  C This involves spending around 200 billion on UK transport and

  D As well as getting money from the government, she also asked

  Read the article about the effects of climate change in the UK.
  Five sentences have been removed. Which sentence (AF) fits each gap
  (15). There is one extra sentence you do not need to use.

  The Effects of Climate Change in the UKClimate change is a
  long-term change in weather patterns over periods of time that
  range from decades to millions of years. It is one of the greatest
  environmental issues of our time.

  The effect of changes in our climate has been a hot topic for
  many years. And now government ministers in the UK have warned that
  the internet could be badly affected due to climate change. ( 1
  )

  Scientists say that higher temperatures and rainstorms could
  affect wi-fi communications. In addition, wetter winters and drier
  summers might lead to subsidence the sinking of the ground damaging
  underground cables. ( 2 ) If climate change affects the quality of
  the signal, or there is no signal due to extreme changes in
  temperature, people will clearly be disadvantaged. It would be very
  serious if communication systems were not working in the height of
  an emergency. This is why the issue must be dealt with.

  The Environment Secretary, Caroline Spelman, recently explained
  the governments plans to take action. ( 3 ) However, if these
  facilities cannot deal with the increase in floods and storms
  likely to accompany rising temperatures, the money will have been
  wasted, she warned. Speaking at Blackfriars Railway Station in
  London, which a UK rail company says is being redeveloped with the
  long-term effects of climate change in mind, Ms Spelman said the UK
  economy would not be able to grow if infrastructure transport and
  communications networks and reliable energy and water supplies
  failed.

  Ms Spelman explained that our economy is built on this
  infrastructure. But it could not grow if there are repeated power
  failures, or if goods cannot be transported because roads are
  flooded and railways have been damaged, or if heavy rainfall or
  high temperatures negatively affect wi-fi signals. ( 4 ) According
  to Ms Spelman, they could come forward and develop new technologies
  and processes to help our current systems better deal with climate
  change.

  A government report published recently outlines how planning and
  design of new systems needs to consider the effect of climate
  change. This is especially important as many projects will still be
  there in 50 to 100 years from

  Five sentences have been removed. Which sentence (AF) fits each gap
  (15)? There is one extra sentence you do not need to use.

  Unexpected challenges from environmental changeClimate change is
  a long-term change in weather patterns over periods of time that
  range from decades to millions of years. It is one of the greatest
  environmental issues of our time.

  The effect of changes in our climate has been a hot topic for
  many years. ( 1 ) As weather patterns become more serious,
  railways, roads, and power and water supplies also need to be
  protected.

  Scientists say that higher temperatures and rainstorms could
  affect wi-fi communications. In addition, wetter winters and drier
  summers might lead to subsidence the sinking of the ground damaging
  underground cables. So, what does that mean for people who need to
  use these communications? If climate change affects the quality of
  the signal, or there is no signal due to extreme changes in
  temperature, people will clearly be disadvantaged. It would be very
  serious if communication systems were not working in the height of
  an emergency. ( 2 )

  The Environment Secretary, Caroline Spelman, recently explained
  the governments plans to take action. ( 3 ) However, if facilities
  cannot deal with the increase in floods and storms likely to
  accompany rising temperatures, the money will have been wasted, she
  warned. Speaking at Blackfriars Railway Station in London, which a
  UK rail company says is being redeveloped with the long-term
  effects of climate change in mind, Ms Spelman said the UK economy
  would not be able to grow if infrastructure transport and
  communications networks and reliable energy and water supplies
  failed.

  Ms Spelman explained that our economy is built on this
  infrastructure. But it could not grow if there are repeated power
  failures, or if goods cannot be transported because roads are
  flooded and railways have been damaged, or if heavy rainfall or
  high temperatures negatively affect wi-fi signals. She also asked
  for help from British businesses. ( 4 )

  A government report published recently outlines how planning and
  design of new systems needs to take into consideration the effect
  of climate change, and this is especially important as many
  projects will still be there in 50 to 100 years from now. ( 5 ) It
  also highlights the role of the government in protecting the UK

  Interviewer Hello, Im Louisa Fielding and this is Environmental
  Corner. With me today is Rick, who volunteers for an environmental
  agency. Rick, welcome to the programme.

  Rick Hi thanks very much.Interviewer Now youve done some
  voluntary work for an environmental

  agency in Asia, havent you?Rick Thats right. It was for a diving
  and marine conservation group in

  Thailand.Interviewer So, what exactly is marine
  conservation?Rick Its basically anything to do with things that
  live in the sea.Interviewer How long did you spend in Thailand?Rick
  Oh, it was quite a long time actually. Hmm lets see. Id already

  decided to take a year off before going to university, but didnt
  want to spend the full 12 months working on the project I wanted
  to, er, you know do a bit of travelling too, and I had to work to
  earn some money as well. So, I spent about half my gap year
  there.

  Interviewer What type of things did the volunteers on this
  project do when they were there?

  Rick Most of us were involved in diving surveys where we helped
  to identify sea horses there were so many different types. And
  thats what I was involved in. A few people worked with local
  fishermen they looked at which kinds of fish they catch and taught
  them about keeping certain fish safe for the future. Others helped
  with cleaning up the beaches in the area, and they got local kids
  to help out with that.

  Interviewer How many days a week did you have to work? It sounds
  like you were very busy.

  Rick There was a work schedule each week so we know what was
  happening and when. The schedule varies, depending on the time of
  year, the weather, and the number of volunteers on the project. We
  normally worked five days a week and did some diving each day. We
  had two days to ourselves to relax, travel back to the mainland or
  get involved in some of the other activities that there were, like
  diving or boat trips.

  Interviewer That sounds like fun! What were the living
  conditions like?Rick Well, we shared wooden bungalows with other
  volunteers 4 people to

  each one. The accommodation had electricity provided by a
  generator for a few hours in the evenings, and each bungalow had an
  attached bathroom with a bucket shower basically thats just where
  you use buckets of water to wash yourself. The bungalows are just a
  few metres from the beach, so the sea views are amazing! Everyone
  ate together in the area that we all share. It had a kitchen and
  large dining area and had plenty of space to study or just enjoy
  the view and relax. The surrounding garden had an equipment room
  and in the evenings staff and volunteers went there to play cards
  or watch a DVD.

  Interviewer Hmm not bad. So, do you need experience if you want
  to work on one of these projects?

  Rick Obviously it would be a big help if you already knew
  something about marine biology, but no, volunteers dont need any
  previous experience. One of the first things everyone is taught, is
  how to dive to the necessary level. There are lots of qualified
  instructors there. Youll actually leave Thailand with lots of
  experience under your belt a few of the guys even learned how to do
  building work and you might even have the chance to study some
  tropical plants in the nearby jungle.

  Interviewer It certainly sounds like a valuable way to spend
  your time, if you have that kind of time to spare of course.

  Rick Oh definitely Id recommend it to anyone with an interest in
  environmental issues and ( fade )

  FILE 4Listening 1

  Speaker 1 We all know the importance of wearing seatbelts of
  course, but my number one tip would be to keep an eye on your speed
  when youre behind the wheel of your car. The limits are there for a
  reason, you know! And its better to leave 15 minutes early and take
  your time, than to have an accident and not get there at all.

  Speaker 2 Well, because of the weather we have in this country,
  one thing thats really important is to check that you have the
  right clothes on before you go out in the dark. And that applies if
  youre walking, jogging, or cycling. You should always have
  something on your upper body that can be easily seen and that
  reflects the light it could save your life.

  Speaker 3 Many accidents happen because people are so distracted
  by chatting on mobiles even when theyre using hands-free kits. Id
  say just avoid them completely. Its best to concentrate 100% on the
  road in front of you. You never know whats coming up ahead.

  Speaker 4 I think theres so much more to being a good driver
  than knowing the traffic laws and speed limits. You have to drive
  according to the weather thats really important! Give yourself more
  time if its raining, for example, because that slows traffic right
  down. And keep your distance from the car in front of you because
  the road surface will be more dangerous.

  Speaker 5 Apart from all the obvious things like not driving
  fast and not chatting on the phone, Id say planning your trip is
  pretty important. Especially in winter. Make sure you have
  everything you need in the boot of your car because you never know
  what might happen. I mean things like a blanket and some food, in
  case you get stuck, or even medicine.

Here you have two progress tests to review units from 1 to 6.
The key is below the tests.
Have a nice day!
