Reunion

The last time I saw my father was in Grand Central Station. I was going from my grandmother’s in the Adirondacks to a cottage on the Cape that my mother had rented, and I wrote my father that I would be in New York between trains for an hour and a half, and asked if we could have lunch together. His secretary wrote to say that he would meet me at the information booth at noon, and at twelve o’clock sharp I saw him coming through the crowd.

He was a stranger to me — my mother divorced him three years ago and I hadn’t been with him since — but as soon as I saw him I felt that he was my father, my flesh and blood, my future and my doom. I knew that when I was grown I would be something like him; I would have to plan my campaigns within his limitations. He was a big, good-looking man, and I was terribly happy to see him again.

He struck me on the back and shook my hand. «Hi, Charlie,» he said. «Hi, boy. I’d like to take you up to my club, but it’s in the Sixties, and if you have to catch an early train I guess we’d better get something to eat around here.» He put his arm around me, and I smelled my father the way my mother sniffs a rose. It was a rich compound of whiskey, after-shave lotion, shoe polish, woollens, and the rankness of a mature male. I hoped that someone would see us together. I wished that we could be photographed. I wanted some record of our having been together.

We went out of the station and up a side street to a restaurant. It was still early, and the place was empty. The bartender was quarrelling with a delivery boy, and there was one very old waiter in a red coat down by the kitchen door. We sat down, and my father hailed the waiter in a loud voice. «Kellner!» he shouted. «Garcon! You!» His boisterousness in the empty restaurant seemed out of place. «Could we have a little service here!» he shouted. Then he clapped his hands. This caught the waiter’s attention, and he shuffled over to our table.

«Were you clapping your hands at me?» he asked.

«Calm down, calm down,» my father said. «It isn’t too much to ask of you — if it wouldn’t be too much above and beyond the call of duty, we would like a couple of Beefeater Gibsons.»

«I don’t like to be clapped at,» the waiter said.

«I should have brought my whistle,» my father said. «I have a whistle that is audible only to the ears of old waiters. Now, take out your .little pad and your little pencil and see if you can get this straight: two Beefeater Gibsons. Repeat after me: two Beefeater Gibsons.»

«I think you’d better go somewhere else,» the waiter said quietly. «That,» said my father, «is one of the most brilliant suggestions I have ever heard. Come on, Charlie.»

I followed my father out of that restaurant into another. He was not so boisterous this time. Our drinks came, and he cross-questioned me about the baseball season. He then struck the edge of his empty glass with his knife and began shouting again. «Garcon! You! Could we trouble you to bring us two more of the same.» «How old is the boy?» the waiter asked. «That,» my father said, «is none of your business.»

«I’m sorry, sir,» the waiter said, «but I won’t serve the boy another drink.» «Well, I have some news for you,» my father said. «I have some very interesting news for you. This doesn’t happen to be the only restaurant in New York. They’ve opened another on the corner. Come on, Charlie.»

He paid the bill, and I followed him out of that restaurant into another …

1. It’s good to have a part-time job when you’re a university student.
2. Problems with time-keeping are not always the student’s fault.
3. University students have lots of new expenses to cope with.
4. Learning to do chores is part of university life.
5. Asking your parents for money while at university can be difficult.
6. Your class schedule can vary significantly at university.
7. Managing your freedom is a responsibility you learn at university.

Speaker A
: I wasn’t a lazy kid at all. I studied hard and got good marks in my exams. I never missed football practice and participated in extra-curricular activities. But now that I’m at university, there’s one thing I realise I never learnt how to do – wash my clothes! Now that Mums not here to do it, I’ve had to sort of work it out on my own. Needless to say, a few of my white T-shirts now look pink!

Speaker B
: At university, no one’s around to tell you that you need to stay at home and study That’s something you have to learn to do yourself. There’s lots of temptation to go out and say to yourself, “I’ll study” later. But take it from me, that’s a bad mistake to make. You’ve got to stay on top of your priorities. It’s just as important to put your free time into a specific schedule as it is your study time.

Speaker С
: I never seem to have enough money as a university student. My parents send me a few pounds here and there, but I’ve largely been left to fend for myself Luckily, I’ve been able to manage my studying and take on a few hours at a local cafe. It’s a good way to make some extra cash, and it keeps me from going out too much, which is how I would spend most of my money anyway!

Speaker D
: As a high school student, life was fairly simple. I can say that now, looking back on it! You went to school at 9 am, left at around 4 pm, and that was the end of it. Now, at the beginning of every term at university, I have to sort through a list of classes that occur at all different times of the day. On the one hand, it’s very flexible, but it makes sticking to a routine a bit more difficult.

Speaker E
: Money can be a real problem for university students. That’s certainly no big secret! You’ve got to pay for expensive books for every subject. And what about your meals? Mum and Dad aren’t there to pick up the tab. And if you have your own flat, there will be rent and all sorts of bills. I live in a hall of residence, so having my own place is another year away for me yet. I’d better start saving up!

Speaker F
: I’m lucky that I have all of my lectures in the afternoon. It means I’ve got the mornings to do my studying and my chores. But sometimes it’s a bit difficult to get from one class to another. My last two Friday lectures are at opposite ends of the university. I’ve only got 10 minutes to get from one to the other, so you I’ll see me running down the street on occasion! I’m often late, but I can’t help it!

Вы услышите диалог. Определите, какие из приведённых утверждений A-G соответствуют содержанию текста (1 – True), какие не соответствуют (2 – False) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (3 – Not stated).

A) Amy is on her way to do some studying.
B) Amy had to knock on her brother’s door more than once.
C) Amy’s brother refused to turn down his music when she asked him to.
D) Amy didn’t like the kind of music her brother was playing.
E) Amy’s mum is always home when Amy gets home from school.
F) Amy’s parents don’t do anything to help the situation.
G) There’s only one bathroom in George’s home.

George
: Amy, what’s the matter? You look very upset. Is everything OK?

Amy
: Hi, George. No, everything’s not OK. I’ve just had a horrible argument with my brother. I should be studying right now, but I decided I’d go for a walk and let off some steam.

Amy
: Well, I was trying to do my maths homework when Jeff decided it was time to play some really loud music. I went to his room to tell him to turn it down, and he ignored me when I knocked on his door.

Amy
: I banged on the door again, really loudly this time. I thought I was going to punch a hole in the door! He finally answered, so I calmly requested for him to lower the volume.

Amy
: Yes, he did. Very nice of him, wasn’t it? So, I went back to my bedroom, but two minutes later, the volume returned. It’s so unfair, he always does things like this when Mum and Dad aren’t home, and he does it to annoy me.

Amy
: My dad works late, so we don I see him until supper. Usually when I get home from school, my mum’s home, but occasionally she’s out late too. Really, my brother and I don’t fight that often, but it tends to happen when he knows he can get away with it.

Amy
: Every single time! They warn him not to do it anymore, but he doesn’t really get punished. Usually he’s just told to be nice to me, and he says he’s sorry, but I know he doesn’t mean it!

George
: My sister and I fight over the bathroom. Well, it’s because she spends so much time in there getting ready every morning, or when she wants to go out. I end up having to use my parents’ bathroom sometimes. I wish I had my own!
Amy: It sounds like we’ve both got difficult siblings! Well, I’m going to continue my walk. Thanks for listening to my complaints!

2) Extremely unhealthy.
3) Much more traditional.

Including beans in a raw food diet…
1) requires certain preparation.
2) is impossible.
3) is not advisable.

What difficulty does Rhonda mention with preparing raw foods?
1) The length of time required.
2) The lack of recipe choice.
3) The difficulty in obtaining good flavour.

Rhonda says freezing foods …
1) changes the nutritional value.
2) ruins the food.
3) is a necessary step.

What is true about Rhonda as a result of her raw food diet?
1) She feels better mentally.
2) She regrets her decision.
3) She feels more active.

Rhonda thinks it’s terrible that …
1) so few people follow a raw food diet.
2) it’s so difficult to follow a raw food diet.
3) some people eat only cooked foods.

Presenter
: Hi everyone and welcome to our programme, Healthy Living. With us today is Rhonda McShane, a nutritionist and healthy living adviser. Rhonda, thanks for joining us.

Speaker
: I’m happy to be here.

Presenter
: To begin with, I’d like to talk about the dieting phenomenon known as a raw food diet, which you follow yourself Can you tell me about that?

Speaker
: Certainly. A raw food diet is fairly self- explanatory; basically, you don’t cook anything you eat. This of course means there are certain things you really can’t eat, such as chicken. But the main idea is that no food is heated above 40 degrees Celsius.

Presenter
: I see. And how long have you been following this diet?

Speaker
: I started a couple of years ago, and I really enjoy it now» although it was quite challenging in the beginning. I was so used to cooking my food, you know, normal things like sautéing veggies in oil, baking casseroles in the oven, and boiling rice and pasta. You can’t do any of those things on a raw food diet. It’s quite a lifestyle adjustment.

Speaker
: No, it’s not. Actually, I’m not a vegetarian, as I do eat sushi. I also consume dairy products such as milk and eggs, and I eat grains, some beans, nuts and seeds. Now, I know what you’re thinking – raw beans, aren’t they poisonous? Well, yes, the actual bean often is, but we do a process called ‘sprouting’, where we soak the beans and let them start to grow. The new growth is safe and nutritious to eat.

Presenter
: Honestly, I would think your options are really limited. Do you prepare a lot of different recipes?

Speaker
: Yes. Actually, there are many cookbooks on the market with a variety of raw food recipes. It takes a bit of preparation to make certain things, sometimes half a day. For example, I have a recipe for vegetarian burgers. I make the burgers, then instead of cooking them, I put them in a dehydrator for a few hours, which dries them out. It works on a very low heat, so it doesn’t cook them. Believe it or not, they turn out like real veggie burgers, and are very tasty.

Speaker
: Anything that doesn’t actually cook the food. You can use blenders and juicers, and you can store food in the fridge, of course. You can even freeze meals, although that tends to lower the nutritional value, and nutrition is one of the reasons I’ve chosen this diet.

Speaker
: Well, foods lose a lot of their goodness when you cook them, so I’ve chosen this diet because I think it’s the healthiest way of eating. I can say that I have more energy and am in better shape than I used to be. I admit, though, a raw food diet isn’t for everyone.

Speaker
: Well, there are some people who never eat raw foods. That means no fresh fruit or vegetables at all. That’s terrible! I urge people to include as much raw food as they can into their diet. People should eat plenty of raw foods every single day. Go ahead and cook your burgers, just don’t forget the fresh lettuce and tomato!

7. New perspectives
8. New rules to follow

A.
The mountains of Scotland (we call them the Highlands) are a wild and beautiful part of Europe. A golden eagle flies over the mountains. A deer walks through the silence of the forest. Salmon and trout swim in the clean, pure water of the rivers. Some say that not only fish swim in the deep water of Loch Ness. Speak to the people living by the Loch. Each person has a story of the monster, and some have photographs.

B.
Tresco is a beautiful island with no cars, crowds or noise — just flowers, birds, long sandy beaches and the Tresco Abbey Garden. John and Wendy Pyatt welcome you to the Island Hotel, famous for delicious food, comfort and brilliant service. You will appreciate superb accommodation, free saunas and the indoor swimming pool.

Tourists will have a chance to explore the bush country near Samburu, to travel on a camel back or to sleep out under the stars. Modern safari vehicles are always available for those who prefer comfort.

D.
Arrival can be the hardest part of a trip. It is late, you are road-weary, and everything is new and strange. You need an affordable place to sleep, something to eat and drink, and probably a way to get around. But in general, it»s a wonderful trip, full of wonderful and unusual places. Whether it is the first stop on a trip or the fifth city visited, every traveller feels a little overwhelmed stepping onto a new street in a new city.

E.
No zoo has enough money to provide basic habitats or environments for all the species they keep. Most animals are put in a totally artificial environment, isolated from everything they would meet in their natural habitat. Many will agree that this isolation is harmful to the most of zoo inhabitants, it can even amount to cruelty.

F.
A new London Zoo Project is a ten year project to secure the future for the Zoo and for many endangered animals. The plan has been devised by both animal and business experts to provide world-leading accommodation for all our animals, to more fully engage and inform people about conservation issues, to redesign certain aspects of Zoo layout.

G.
Leave-no-trace camping is an increasingly popular approach to travel in wilderness areas. As the term suggests, the goal is for the camper to leave as little impact as possible on the place he is visiting. One of its mottos is «Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.» Its simplest and most fundamental rule is: pack it in, pack it out, but it goes beyond that.

The last time I saw my father was in Grand Central Station. I was going from my grandmother»s in the Adirondacks to a cottage on the Cape that my mother had rented, and I wrote my father that I would be in New York between trains for an hour and a half, and asked if we could have lunch together. His secretary wrote to say that he would meet me at the information booth at noon, and at twelve o»clock sharp I saw him coming through the crowd.
He was a stranger to me — my mother divorced him three years ago and I hadn»t been with him since — but as soon as I saw him I felt that he was my father, my flesh and blood, my future and my doom. I knew that when I was grown I would be something like him; I would have to plan my campaigns within his limitations. He was a big, good-looking man, and I was terribly happy to see him again.
He struck me on the back and shook my hand. «Hi, Charlie,» he said. «Hi, boy. I»d like to take you up to my club, but it»s in the Sixties, and if you have to catch an early train I guess we»d better get something to eat around here.» He put his arm around me, and I smelled my father the way my mother sniffs a rose. It was a rich compound of whiskey, after-shave lotion, shoe polish, woollens, and the rankness of a mature male. I hoped that someone would see us together. I wished that we could be photographed. I wanted some record of our having been together.
We went out of the station and up a side street to a restaurant. It was still early, and the place was empty. The bartender was quarrelling with a delivery boy, and there was one very old waiter in a red coat down by the kitchen door. We sat down, and my father hailed the waiter in a loud voice. «Kellner!» he shouted. «Garcon! You!» His boisterousness in the empty restaurant seemed out of place. «Could we have a little service here!» he shouted. Then he clapped his hands. This caught the waiter»s attention, and he shuffled over to our table.
«Were you clapping your hands at me?» he asked.
«Calm down, calm down,» my father said. «It isn»t too much to ask of you — if it wouldn»t be too much above and beyond the call of duty, we would like a couple of Beefeater Gibsons.»
«I don»t like to be clapped at,» the waiter said.
«I should have brought my whistle,» my father said. «I have a whistle that is audible only to the ears of old waiters. Now, take out your little pad and your little pencil and see if you can get this straight: two Beefeater Gibsons. Repeat after me: two Beefeater Gibsons.»
«I think you»d better go somewhere else,» the waiter said quietly. «That,» said my father, «is one of the most brilliant suggestions I have ever heard. Come on, Charlie.»
I followed my father out of that restaurant into another. He was not so boisterous this time. Our drinks came, and he cross-questioned me about the baseball season. He then struck the edge of his empty glass with his knife and began shouting again. «Garcon! You! Could we trouble you to bring us two more of the same.» «How old is the boy?» the waiter asked. «That,» my father said, «is none of your business.»
«I»m sorry, sir,» the waiter said, «but I won»t serve the boy another drink.» «Well, I have some news for you,» my father said. «I have some very interesting news for you. This doesn»t happen to be the only restaurant in New York. They»ve opened another on the corner. Come on, Charlie.»
He paid the bill, and I followed him out of that restaurant into another …

	Home-cooked Food
	We are What We Eat
	Definition of Food

A.
Food is any substance or materials eaten or drunk to provide nutritional support for the body and/or for pleasure. It usually consists of plant or animal origin that contains essential ingredients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and is ingested and assimilated by an organism to produce energy, stimulate growth and maintain life. The right to food is a human right derived from the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

B.
Packaged foods are manufactured outside the home for purchase. Early food processing techniques were limited by available food preservation, packaging and transportation. This mainly involved salting, drying, pickling, curdling, fermentation and smoking. Food manufacturing arose during the industrial revolution in the 19
th
century. This development took advantage of new mass markets and emerging new technology such as milling, preservation, packaging, labeling and transportation.

C.
People who have busy work or social schedules don’t have much time for cooking at home. Takeout meals from restaurants, pizza parlors and delicatessens have become a regular part of everyday life. Food can be picked up at a café, or people call in orders by phone and the takeaway meal is delivered to their homes.
Ready-to-eat and instant processed foods that are quick to prepare are very popular. Snacks and junk food like doughnuts, popcorn, cookies, or potato chips are also easy to prepare.

D.
The expression “as American as an apple pie” means something that is typically American, but even apple pie came from somewhere else. The only true American foods are those that the Native Americans gave the first settlers, including corn, squash, pumpkin, turkey, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie which are still eaten at Thanksgiving. Immigrants have brought all kinds of dishes with them from their home countries. A typical family may eat tacos (originally from Mexico), pizza (from Italy), or apple pie (from England).

	How many cows and pigs have you swallowed already?
Although Britain is quite a small country, it offers a wide choice of food and
	drink. The types of food people eat have changed a lot over the years for
	several reasons. People have come to Britain from different parts of the
	world, bringing their favourite food with them and often opening restaurants.
	In Britain you can find traditional food like roast beef or fish and chips and
	vegetarian food for those who do not eat meat. As well as foods from
	different parts of Britain, you can buy Italian, Mexican and West Indian

Cakes, chocolate ice-cream… The British love them all. A meal is not a
	meal without some kind of dessert and sweet things are very popular as a
	snack too. Chocolate is the most popular sweet snack and the British eat
	more than 8 kg per person per year of it. Chocolate is almost eaten

The goal of the research isn»t to erase memory outright, as depicted in popular movies over the years. That would raise ethical issues and questions of what would happen to associated memories, researchers say. Instead, «reducing or eliminating the fear accompanying the memory…that would be the ideal scenario,» says Roger Pitman, a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School C

The latest research is based on a radical rethinking of how memories are stored in the brain.

Sometimes a traumatic incident can trigger an enduring response of fear whenever the incident is recalled, even indirectly. A car backfiring, for instance, can set off an emotional response in a combat veteran if the loud noise becomes associated in his mind with a wartime experience.

A common therapy currently for trauma and phobias is called exposure treatment. It involves repetitive exposure in a nonthreatening way to help patients confront their fears and gradually weaken the fear response, a process known as extinction.

Vacation at Home

(Life with Father
by Clarence Day)

Father, Mother and my brothers went out to the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893. I was finishing my freshman year at Yale, and by the time I got home they had gone. Father had written me that I had better follow on and join them, but I couldn’t. I had spent all my allowance. It wasn’t this that bothered me, however, or not going out to Chicago. It was the fact that I owed Warner Hall and other tradesmen nearly three hundred dollars, and I didn’t see how I could be so reckless, or when I could ever pay up. Worst of all, my creditors too had become pessimistic.

I borrowed a nickel for carfare from old Margaret and went down at once to Father’s office to ask for a job. They didn’t have any work for me down there and didn’t want me around, but it was lucky I went, because while I was there one of my creditors entered. He had come down to New York with a bundle of overdue bills to see whether he could collect any of them by calling upon his customers’ parents. It had never occurred to me that anyone would come to Father’s office like this. If Father had been there and I hadn’t I’d have been in serious trouble for Father had warned me repeatedly not to borrow money. I was frightened. The creditor said, as he left, that since my father was out, he would have to call on him again the next time he came to New York.

I didn’t know what to do. But one thing was clear. I saw I must stick around Father’s office for the rest of that summer. So as soon as my parents got back from the Fair, I begged my Father to give me a job. I didn’t need any vacation, I told him, and I would be getting a lot of valuable experience if he would let me go to work.

After thinking it over, he said that perhaps I could make myself useful as an office boy while his clerks were taking turns going on their vacations. I started the very next day at four dollars a week.

I might have got slightly better wages elsewhere, but I couldn’t have made enough anyway to pay much on my bills, and the most important thing was not to make a few dollars extra but to stand on guard at the door of Father’s office to keep my creditors out. When I was sent out on an errand, I ran all the way there and back. When I was in the office, I always kept one eye on the grated window where the cashier sat in his counter, to make sure that no creditors from New Haven were coming in to see Father.

But late in the summer I got into trouble again. The cashier told Father that I had taken hold better than he had expected, and that although I was not very accurate I was punctual and quick and seemed to be especially interested in getting down early. Father was so pleased that he sent for me to come into his inner office and told me that he had decided I had earned a vacation.

I said that honestly and truly a vacation was the last thing I wanted.

	Sports as Pastimes for Gentlemen		Professional Sport

			Popular Sports in Britain
	Definition of Sport		Popular Sports in the USA

A.
In the USA the three main sports are baseball and American football, followed closely by basketball. Baseball developed from the British game of “rounders” (which is still played by children in Britain) in the early 19
th
century. American football developed from the football played by British colonists in the 17th
century. In the early 19th
century it was taken up by college students and at first it was a rough, tough game with variable rules. In 1880 the standard number of 11 men and new rules were adopted.

B.
Extreme sports are dangerous but they are becoming more and more popular with teenagers. They say they go in for extreme kinds of sports because extreme sport is exciting and gives them an adrenalin rush. Every year in the USA, over 700 000 young people go to hospital because of sporting injuries. Most injuries are from extreme sports like baseball, skydiving, bungee jumping, BMX biking, surfing,
white-water rafting, rugby, etc.

C.
Sport is a physical activity done for exercise and amusement. It is usually played in a special area and according to special rules. It is very often used instead of the words “game” or “pastime.” Among popular team sports are football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, hockey, athletics, etc. People play different sports at different times of the year, so they go skiing in winter and swimming in summer..

D.
Over a century ago, the novelist Anthony Trollope listed the sports “essentially dear to the English nature”. These included hunting, shooting, rowing and horse racing. He was, of course, referring to the “gentleman class”, which through the public school system established football, rugby and cricket as national games. But hunting, rowing, yachting and horse racing, because of the expense involved, have remained primarily upper class pastimes. Attendance at Henley Regatta, the high point of rowing season, and Royal Ascot, for horse racing, remain the pinnacles of the upper class summer season.

E.
Many sports that are most known internationally originated in Britain. Football known officially as “association football” and sometimes called “soccer” is said to have been played as early as the 12
th
century. The present form of the game was laid down by the Football Association in 1863. Rugby football (informally called “rugger”) arose from the game played at Rugby School, Warwickshire, in 1823 and subsequently developed into two distinct games: Rugby Union and Rugby League.

F.
Organized sport for athletes with a disability is generally divided into three broad disability groups: the deaf, people with physical disabilities and people with intellectual disability. Each group has a distinct history, organization, competition programme and approach to sport. Formal international competition in deaf sport began with 1924 Paris
Silent Games
. These games evolved into the modernDeaflympics
. Currently, Paralympic sport is popular all over the world.

G.
Sports have many affinities with art. For example, figure skating, skateboarding, gymnastics, dance sport can be considered artistic spectacles. Perhaps the best example is bull fight, which is reported in Spain in the arts pages of newspapers. Arts and sports were clearly linked at the time of Ancient Greece when gymnastics and calisthenics evoked admiration and athletic appreciation for the physical build, skill and grace displayed by participants.

What people wear says a lot about who they are and what they do, and it is not surprising that teenagers are so concerned about their clothes. Nevertheless, their parents think that following fashion is a waste of time.

From my point of view, it is important to look smart and attractive because we cannot go through life with the same hairstyle or make-up. I also believe it is necessary for teenagers to follow fashion. When you are up with fashion, you feel confident. What is more, everyone should find their own style to express their individuality. I hate when people dress alike. Personally, I prefer hand-made or designer clothes and try to look stylish.

However, many parents do not understand why teens spend so much time and money on their clothes. Quite a lot of adults are old-fashioned and do not accept modern trends in clothing. They say that fashion comes and goes but classical style remains.

As for me, I cannot agree with them because teenage fashion is quite specific. Nobody likes to dress in styles that are too old for them, and it is no fun being teased because of it. Moreover, clothes will be especially important in our future career, so learning to choose the right clothes is worth spending time and money.

A.
The fifth longest river in the world is the Yenisei which flows north from Mongolia through Russia to the Arctic Ocean. Originally, nomadic tribes — the Kit and Yugh people — lived along the banks of the Yenisei. Russian explorers first reached its shores in 1605. Much of the Yenisei is ice-bound six or more months in the year. Explosives are used to keep the water flowing, thereby avoiding serious flooding. A series of massive hydroelectric dams provide energy to support Russian industry.

B.
Known as the “cradle of Chinese civilization”, the Yellow River in China is the 6th longest river in the world. It’s been a major center of Chinese population and culture since the 3rd century B.C. However, the Yellow River has another name — “China’s Sorrow”. For thousands of years, the river has regularly flooded, destroying the surrounding countryside and populations. Today over a dozen dams control the flooding and also provide electricity for millions.

C.
Every year schoolchildren everywhere learn the names of the world’s great rivers. Everyone knows the longest river is the Nile. Or is it? Brazilian and Peruvian scientists now argue that the Amazon should be considered the longest (using complicated measurements only scientists can understand). But for now, the Nile still wins the title of “longest river” in textbooks. The Nile has always been the lifeline of Egyptian civilization. The annual flooding of the river creates rich agricultural soil, ideal for growing wheat and flax and other crops.

D.
When people think of the Mississippi River, their first thought is usually of Mark Twain and the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. They may not recall from their childhood geography lessons that the Mississippi is the fourth longest river in the world. For thousands of years, Native Americans lived along the Mississippi, mostly living as hunter-gatherers and herders. That life changed forever when Europeans first arrived in the 16th century; today the Mississippi plays a crucial role in the economic life of dozens of cities and small towns situated along its shores.

E.
The third longest river is the Yangtze River in China. The river plays a very important role in China’s history, culture and economy. Nearly one-third of China’s huge population lives along the Yangtze river. The Yangtze is one of the world’s busiest waterways. Everything is transported along the Yangtze: coal, cars, produce and people. The river also attracts many tourists who take cruises through the famous Three Gorges area. Sadly, because of the heavy traffic on the river and industry along its, banks the Yangtze is very polluted.

F.
The Nile may still earn the title for longest river, but the Amazon — the second longest — has the greatest volume by far. The Amazon contains approximately one-fifth of the water flowing in the world’s rivers. Uniquely, there are no bridges crossing the Amazon anywhere along its long route. Most of the Amazon flows through tropical rainforests, where there are few roads or cities — and therefore no need for bridges. The Amazon Rainforest is the home of more than one-third of all animal and plant species in the world.

G.
From its origins in the Altay Mountains in China, the Irtysh flows north-west through Kazakhstan, and finally merges with the Ob, in western Siberia, Russia. The Ob is 7th longest river in the world. In the 1960s and 1970s proposals to reverse the flow of the Irtysh among other Northern rivers were seriously and widely discussed. These gigantic water management schemes meant to supply water to central Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Thanks to Kazakh and Russian environmentalists and lack of money they were not implemented.
