Chinese tea house in Moscow

The bright
building on Myasnitskaya Street in Moscow stands out among others and attracts
the attention of passers-by with its non-typical elements for Russian
architecture. The tea house resembles a Chinese pagoda and it is considered to
be the real office of a company that was involved in tea trade.

This house in the Chinese style was built for the tea merchant Sergei
Vasilievich Perlov (A) ______ in
order to establish his own business. He bought the land on Myasnitskaya Street
in the centre of Moscow in 1875, (B) ______ in
1891. The construction was finished by 1893. The first floor was for Perlov’s
tea shop, (C) ______ profitable apartments for rent and the host’s own family.

The front side of the newly built house was redecorated in the Chinese style
after several years. A little tower in the form of a pagoda appeared (D) ______
molded dragons, snakes, Chinese umbrellas and lanterns. Some materials for
decoration were even brought directly from China. It was made before the visit
of the Chinese Ambassador Li Hongzhang, (E) ______
Nikolai II and Alexandra Fyodorovna coronation. The merchant Perlov thought
that it might be useful for his tea business (F) ______ at
this house. He preferred the house of Perlov’s brother and competitor. But
thanks to this case now there is a beautiful exotic building right in the city
centre, as if it came right from another part of the world.

Coffee decaffeination processes

Every day it seems
that medical researchers come out with a new study about coffee, how it is
extremely unhealthy for you and/or full of amazing benefits. The focus of most
of these studies is more particularly about the effects of caffeine on human
health. As caffeine, coffee’s most potent element, is a stimulant, it can
produce both positive and negative effects. It can wake you up in the morning,
but it can also lead to sleeplessness, a racing heartbeat, and anxiety.

It is therefore
no surprise that many people have decided to cut caffeine out of their diets.
As for me, I have grown to like the taste of coffee, but to me the main purpose
of drinking it is to get an extra jolt of energy. That is why I will admit to a
certain prejudice against decaf, perhaps prompted by bad experiences with weak
and tasteless brew, because it is true that the actual process of removing
caffeine from coffee can degrade the taste beyond repair.

Early
decaffeination attempts involved soaking the green beans in water and then
using various solvents to separate the caffeine in the resulting water
solution. The beans were then re-introduced to the caffeine-free solution in
order to absorb some of the flavor they had lost. Solvents used included
benzene, chloroform, and trichloroethylene, all of which were later found to
have toxic effects. In the 1970s, dichloromethane came into use to replace the
earlier solvents before it too was deemed possibly carcinogenic.

In response to
these concerns about solvents, some coffee companies began to run the water
solution through charcoal filters as a means of removing the caffeine. The
so-called Swiss Water Process, developed in Switzerland in the 1930s, goes one
step further. After a batch of coffee beans has been steeped in hot water, that
water is filtered, and then is used to soak the next batch of beans to be
processed. In this way, the beans lose caffeine as they soak, but lose less of
their flavor.

Yet another
method that aims to safely remove caffeine from coffee beans involves a
fascinating compound procedure. The solvent used in this method is neither
water nor one of the earlier toxic solvents. Instead, caffeine in the coffee
beans is dissolved by means of carbon dioxide. In order to accomplish this, the
carbon dioxide must become a supercritical fluid, created when it is compressed
and heated to the point that it has the same density in liquid and gaseous
forms.

As this supercritical CO2 is passed through the beans, it can penetrate
them because of its gaseous properties, and yet is able to dissolve the
caffeine they contain because of its liquid properties.

In 2004,
Brazilian scientists identified a new strain of coffee beans with a naturally
low level of caffeine. They found three coffee plants from Ethiopia that
contain almost no caffeine as they seem lack an enzyme necessary to caffeine
production. If these plants can be crossed with commercial strains of coffee
plants, we may one day see more coffee on the market that is naturally low in
caffeine.

With these
advances, and the current methods of decaffeination, decaf junkies are sure to
be able to get their fix of coffee that not only tastes great, but won’t keep
them up half the night.

As for me, I do
want to stay up half the night, so I’ll stick to my full-strength brew.

A) have not been
studied well enough.

opposite character.

C) are very
dangerous.

D) are not
strong.

There
is an established stereotype among foreigners that Russia is a country of
eternal frost and snow-covered streets. This is all because for many years
foreigners have been frightened by the phrase «Russian winter». But
it’s not all that simple, Russia is a vast country and the weather in different
areas can be completely different. Russia consists of several continental
zones. For example, in the north winters are long and harsh, in some places
there is lots of snow and temperatures fall below -40 degrees Celsius . These
winters are normal, not only in the northern regions of the country but even in
the Far East. Summers in these areas don’t even see three warm months out of
the year.

The closer you get to the south the warmer the Russian
climate gets. In the central part of the country summer becomes warm—even
hot—which makes it possible for a good harvest of grain, fruit and vegetables.
Winters here are not extremely cold and the average winter temperature does not
fall below -15 degrees Celsius. By the way, in Russia the real warmth does not
start until the middle of April. And only at the end of May does everything
start to bloom and people go without their warm clothing.

5. Medicine has existed for thousands of years. At first,
medicine was rather an art than science. It was little based on skills and
knowledge but, instead, it had connections to the religious beliefs. At the
early stages of medicine, doctors relied on religious rituals in the same way
as on medication. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers
for healing. The first physicians thought that bloodletting was the best
treatment of all. In recent centuries, since the advent of science, most
medicine has become a combination of art and science. Much depends on the
talent of the doctor and on the efficiency of drugs and surgery. Nowadays, we
come to understand more and more about our body and to know what is going on
inside the cells. Also, genetic engineering opens up new perspectives for
treating inherited diseases. And, of course, new medical technologies have
already saved millions of lives.

Для Полины Ш., Насти Л., Сони П.

1.  Tasty tourism 2.  For those keen on science 3.  For brave ones only 4.  For true sports fans 5.  Supernatural tourism 6.  Immigration tourism 7.  A difficult choice 8.  Appealing to all fans

A.  Soccer tourism has been around for a few decades but back in the 1980s it was seen (and probably actually was to some extent) as a form of “hooliganism.” Nowadays, soccer tourism is considered one of the most profitable forms of tourism. It usually involves individuals who travel to different cities and countries to see their favourite teams’ museums and trophies or follow them in their international matches. B.  Many people may have a problem understanding the difference between culinary tourism and ordinary tourism since tasting as many local dishes as possible is a must for the average tourist. But there are lots of people who visit a place exclusively for its food and everything related to eating. Plus, in culinary tourism dining out seems to be the equivalent of having cocktails and partying in everyday tourism so there are a few differences after all. C.  If you’re a European citizen over 25 then there’s a good chance you remember this term, which in reality was politically motivated. The phrase “benefit tourism” was invented in the 1990s. It was later used for the perceived threat that a huge number of citizens from the new, poorer nations who were given membership in the EU would move to the richer states such as France or Sweden to benefit from their social welfare systems rather than work. D.  Tolkien tourism has become a growing trend thanks to the huge success of the “Lord of the Rings” books and films. It has expanded and diversified to such an extent that now it offers enough places to visit so that even the most detailed curiosity of the most demanding Tolkien fan is sure to be satisfied. That makes New Zealand the best hotspot because it’s the main location where the films were shot. E.  The name “shark tourism” says it all, and you probably can’t get a scarier or more dangerous type of tourism than this. Shark tourism is actually a subgenre of another type of tourism – eco-tourism. It attracts all these people who love sharks and their bloody jaws. Anything related to the Great White shark (and other) is what’s on offer. Experienced divers and protective cages are must-haves for this adventurous kind of tourism. F.  Atomic tourism is a type of tourism that appeared after the beginning of the Atomic Era. Curious tourists fascinated with the Atomic Era can visit places important to the history of the Atomic Age where significant incidents related to atomic power happened. There are museums that specialize in atomic weapons, but naturally the most visited sites are the actual places where atomic bombs were dropped or detonated. G.  A fascination with ghosts drives some people to travel in search of the paranormal. Behind many famous landmarks is a great ghost story and indeed, popular tours in places like Dublin, Florida, Quebec City and Brisbane explore historic, “haunted” city quarters. Locations of “ghost tourism” include proverbial ghost towns across America, Canada and Australia as well as notorious places like Jonestown, Guyana, and parts of Transylvania.

Прочитайте текст и выполните задания А15–А21. В каждом задании обведите цифру 1, 2, 3 или 4, соответствующую выбранному вами варианту ответа. Avoidance activity I am in Birmingham, sitting in a cafe opposite a hairdresser’s. I’m trying to find the courage to go in and book an appointment. I’ve been here three quarters of an hour and I am on my second large cappuccino. The table I’m sitting at has a wobble, so I’ve spilt some of the first cup and most of the second down the white trousers I was so proud of as I swanked in front of the mirror in my hotel room this morning. I can see the hairdressers or stylists as they prefer to be called, as they work. There is a man with a ponytail who is perambulating around the salon, stopping now and then to frown and grab a bank of customer’s hair. There are two girl stylists: one has had her white blonde hair shaved and then allowed it explode into hundreds of hedgehog’s quills; the other has hair any self-respecting woman would scalp for: thick and lustrous. All three are dressed in severe black. Even undertakers allow themselves to wear a little white on the neck and cuffs, but undertakers don’t take their work half as seriously, and there lies the problem. I am afraid of hairdressers. When I sit in front of the salon mirror stuttering and blushing, and saying that I don’t know what I want, I know I am the client from hell. Nobody is going to win Stylist of the year with me as a model. ‘Madam’s hair is very th …’,they begin to say ‘thin’, think better of it and change it for ‘fine’—ultimately, coming out with the hybrid word ‘thine’. I have been told my hair is ‘thine’ many times. Are they taught to use it at college? Along with other conversational openings, depending on the season: ‘Done your Christmas shopping?’ ‘Going away for Easter?’ ‘Booked your summer holiday?’ ‘You are brown, been way?’ ‘Nights are drawing in, aren’t they?’ ‘Going away for Christmas?’ I am hopeless at small talk (and big talk). I’m also averse to looking at my face in a mirror for an hour and a half. I behave as though I am a prisoner on the run. I’ve looked at wigs in stores, but I am too shy to try them on, and I still remember the horror of watching a bewigged man jump into a swimming pool and then seeing what looked like a medium sized rodent break the surface and float on the water. He snatched at his wig, thrust it anyhow on top of his head and left the pool. I didn’t see him for the rest of the holiday. There is a behavior trait that a lot of writers share—it is called avoidance activity. They will do anything to avoid starting to write: clean a drain, phone their mentally confused uncle in Peru, change the cat’s litter tray. I’m prone to this myself, in summer I deadhead flowers, even lobelia. In winter I’ll keep a fire going stick by stick, anything to put off the moment of scratching marks on virgin paper. I am indulging an avoidance activity now. I’ve just ordered another cappuccino, I’ve given myself a sever talking: For God’s sake, woman! You are forty-seven years of age. Just cross the road, push the salon door open, and ask for an appointment! It didn’t work. I’m now in my room, and I have just given myself a do-it-yourself hairdo, which consisted of a shampoo, condition and trim, with scissors on my Swiss army knife. I can’t wait to get back to the Toni & Guy salon in Leicester. The staff there haven’t once called my hair ‘thine’ and they can do wonders with the savagery caused by Swiss army knife scissors. The narrator was afraid to enter the hairdresser’s because she

1)  had spilt coffee on her white trousers.     2)  doubted the qualification of local stylists.     3)  was strangely self-conscious.     4)  was pressed for time.

Watching the stylists, the narrator concluded that they

1)  were too impulsive.     2)  had hair anyone would envy.     3)  had strange hair-dos themselves.     4)  attached too much importance to their ‘craft’.

The narrator calls herself ‘the client from hell’ mainly because she

1)  doesn’t like to look at herself in the mirror.     2)  never knows what she wants.     3)  is too impatient to sit still.     4)  is too demanding.

The narrator doesn’t like stylists as they

1)  are too predictable in their conversation.     2)  have once suggested that she should try a wig.     3)  are too insensitive to clients wishes.     4)  are too talkative.

According to the narrator the avoidance activity is

1)  common to all writers.     2)  mostly performed in winter.     3)  talking to oneself.     4)  a trick to postpone the beginning of work.

1)  talked herself into going and fixing an appointment.     2)  got her hair done at a hotel.     3)  cut her hair after shampooing it.     4)  spoilt her hair completely.

The last paragraph means that the Toni &Guy salon in Leicester is the

1)  only hairdresser’s she has ever risked going to.     2)  salon she trusts and is not afraid to go to.     3)  place where she is a special client.     4)  the first place she has ever tried.

VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR ISSUES
******

Разница между remind, remember, recall,
recollect, memorize

Глаголы remind,
remember, recall, recollect, memorise так или иначе связаны с запоминанием информации.

1. REMEMBER

Слово remember встречается чаще других синонимов.

По данным Cambridge Dictionary, глагол remember означает
«возможность восстановить или хранить в своей памяти какую-либо информацию».

Remember употребляется, когда нужно:

1. сказать о том, что вы помните какое-то действие — to
remember doing smth

I remember
walking into the pub. — Я помню, как заходил в бар.

уточнить, что помните какой-то факт — to remember (that)

I remember
that I ordered a cup of tea. — Я помню, что я заказал чашку чая.

2. сказать, что вы точно что-то помните — to remember rightly/correctly

It was
August, 2nd, if I remember correctly. — Это было 2 августа, если я правильно
помню.

3. рассказать
о точных, ярких воспоминаниях — clearly/vividly/distinctly remember или не
очень четких — vaguely/dimly remember

I clearly
remember whiskey was Johnny Walker. — Я четко помню, виски был Джонни Уокер.

I dimly remember what was happening next.
— Я с трудом помню, что происходило дальше.

4. рассказать о деталях какого-то воспоминания — to remember when/where/how

I even
remember when I got home! — Я даже помню, когда я пришел домой.

сказать о чем-то, что вы обещали сделать, попросить кого-то
не забыть о чем-то — to remember to do something

Moreover, I
remembered to lock the front door. — Более того, я не забыл закрыть входную дверь.

Здесь важно подчеркнуть, что после глагола remember может стоять как инфинитив
(глагол в начальной форме), так и герундий (глагол с окончанием —ing). 

Смысл сказанного будет
зависеть от формы глагола, например:

I remember to visit my grandmother.
— Я помню, что нужно навестить бабушку.

I remember
visiting my grandmother. — Я помню, как навещал бабушку.

В первом предложении мы говорим о том, что нужно не забыть
выполнить действие в будущем, а во втором примере мы вспоминаем, как уже
выполнили действие.

2. REMIND

Глагол remind переводится как
«напоминать».

Отличие remind от remember
заключается в том, что remind означает «побудить кого-то вспомнить информацию»,
а remember — «помнить какую-либо информацию».

Рассмотрим наиболее популярные случаи
употребления глагола remind:

1. напомнить кому—то сделать что—то — to remind someone to do
something, to remind (somebody) that, to remind somebody about something

My mom always reminds me to put my hat on. — Моя мама постоянно напоминает мне
надевать шапку.

Dustin reminded me that I forgot my laptop at
his house. — Дастин напомнил мне, что я забыл свой ноутбук у
него дома.

Can you remind me about your plans for the
weekend? — Можешь напомнить мне
о своих планах на выходные?

2. когда одна
ситуация/предмет/человек напоминают другую ситуацию/предмет/человека — to remind somebody of, to remind someone what/when/where/how

My colleague reminds me of my classmate. — Мой
коллега напоминает мне моего одноклассника.

Mary reminded me how I acted at the restaurant.
— Мэри напомнила мне, как я вел себя в ресторане

3.  RECALL / RECOLLECT

 Recall означает «восстанавливать в
памяти какие-либо события или факты, чтобы этим поделиться».

I can still recall how Margareth entered the
room. — Я до сих пор помню, как Маргарет зашла в комнату.

Recall используется:

1. когда что-то вызывает
определенную ассоциацию

This building recalls the baroque style. — Это здание
напоминает стиль барокко.

2. когда какие-то события или
предметы вызывают определенные воспоминания

This song recalls that wonderful evening. — Эта песня
напоминает мне тот чудесный вечер.

Recollect и recall — синонимичные
слова, но стоит учесть, что recollect чаще используется в формальной беседе.

MEMORIZE

Memorize переводится как
«запоминать», «заучивать». 

Этот глагол предполагает проделывание определенных
усилий для запоминания чего-либо наизусть.

Sally memorized all her
coworkers’ names just in a week! — Салли запомнила имена всех своих коллег
только через неделю!

The Benefits of Public School vs. Homeschool

Now that you know a little more about homeschool and its associated pros and cons, you may be wondering how public school stacks up. Each child is an individual with individual needs, so the public school may or may not be the best option. However, the only way you’ll know this to be the case is to take time to learn about the potential benefits of public school versus homeschool. Here are some of the top benefits you should consider:

• Public school has a built-in structure. Children, particularly young children, thrive on routine and they require a lot of attention and care. If you are trying to homeschool your children while also being a stay-at-home mom, you may find it more challenging than you imagine.
• Many public schools offer sports and elective options like art and music – these programs may not be available to homeschool students.
• A public school teaches children a certain degree of independence. Depending on the grade, children need to keep track of their own class schedules, find their way from one class to another, purchase their own lunch, and make it to and from the bus every day.
• Teachers are public schools are required to carry education degrees and they may have more experience working with and teaching children. Teaching a child is different from parenting a child and many parents struggle to do both.
• Public school is typically cheaper than homeschool. You could spend $1,000 or more on a homeschool curriculum alone, not to mention supplies. For a public school, you have to buy supplies once or twice a year and you can pack your child’s lunch to save money.
• Children who attend public school have more opportunities for social interaction than many homeschool students. There are homeschool co-ops that can be helpful, but a public school has built-in social benefits.
• Sending your children to public school frees you up to just be a parent. Doing double-duty as both teacher and parent can be both grueling and frustrating at times – especially if you have other non-school-age children to care for.
• Public school gives you and your child some much-needed time apart which helps to foster your child’s independence and gives you a break as well. There is no harm in needing a break from your kids once in a while.
• In addition to the benefits listed above, there are some downsides to public school. For example, public school has a more rigorous and regimented schedule than most homeschool programs and students may not have the same degree of freedom and flexibility to customize their education. But unless you can fully commit yourself to creating and implementing a strong homeschool curriculum, your child may be better off in public school anyway.

Полезно вначале прочитать текст задания про себя; выделить трудные для произношения слова; разметить интонацию; прочитать текст шепотом, а потом вслух, обращая внимание на слитность и беглость речи.
