A CHINESE
VASE
When I was a child I loved
visiting my grandmother. I thought her house was as beautiful as a
palace. As I grew older the house and garden seemed smaller, but I still
loved visiting the old lady. There were so many lovely things to
look 1 _____ in the house.
I loved her paintings and the
old clock, but 2 _____ all I
loved a big Chinese vase which stood in the hall. It
was 3 _____ than me, and I
couldn’t see 4 _____ it. I
walked round and round it looking at the beautiful ladies and the birds
and flowers and trees, and Grandmother often 5
_____ me stories about these ladies. She said that her
grandfather had brought the vase with him when he returned from a
long 6 _____ to China.
We live in a modern house,
and I’m afraid my husband and I often nag at the children. “Don’t make
the new carpet dirty, Paul!” “Be careful with the new table, Philip!”
Before
she died, Grandmother gave me the vase I loved so much.
It 7 _____ beautiful in our
modern hall.
One day I came home from the shop. The boys met me at the door. “I’m as
strong as George Bes, Mummy,” said Paul. “I got a goal and I broke the
vase.” Philip tried to be more diplomatic than Paul, “It doesn’t really
matter, does it? You told us it wasn’t new. You aren’t cross, are you?”

1 _______ nearer, he decided to
go somewhere and read by himself.
He did not want the
amusements of the seaside, or the beauties of the countryside. He decided
to find a quiet, little town and work there undisturbed. He 2 ______ his
suitcase with clothes and books. Then he looked in a railway timetable
for a town that he did not know. He found one, and bought a ticket to go
there. He did not tell anyone where he was going. After all, he did not
want to be 3 ______.
That is how Moore arrived at
Benchurch. It was a market town, and once a week it was quite busy for a
few hours. The rest of the time it was a very quiet and sleepy place.
Moore spent his first night at the only hotel in the town. The landlady
was very kind and helpful, but the hotel was not really quiet enough for
him. The second day he started 4 ______ for a house
to rent.
There was only one place that
he liked. It was more than quiet – it was deserted and very lonely. It
was a big, old seventeenth-century house. It had barred windows like a
prison, and a high brick wall all around it. It would be hard to 5 ______ a
more unwelcoming place. But it suited Moore perfectly. He went to find
the local lawyer, who was responsible for the house.
Mr. Carnford, the lawyer, was
very happy to rent the house to him. “I’d be glad to let you have it
free,” he said, “. It’s been empty so long that people have started
to 6 ______ a lot of foolish stories about it.
You’ll be able to prove that the stories are wrong.
Moore didn’t think it was necessary
to ask the lawyer for more details of the foolish stories. He paid his
rent, and Mr. Carnford gave him the name of an old servant to 7 ______ him.
He came away from the lawyer with the keys of the house in his pocket.

Looking for
a job
My new home was a long way
from the center of London but it was becoming essential to find a job,
so 1 ______ I spent a whole morning getting to town
and applying to London Transport for a job on the tube. It turned out
that they were looking for guards, not drivers. This 2 ______ me.
I couldn’t drive a car but I could probably guard a train and perhaps
continue to write poems between stations. “Yes, I would be a tube guard,”
I thought. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a
crisis.
The next day I sat down, with
almost a hundred other 3 ______, for the intelligence
test. I must have done all right because after half an hour’s wait I was
sent into another room for a psychological test. The examiner sat at a
desk. You were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the
previous occupant had been 4 ______. Sometimes the
person was rejected quickly and sometimes after quite a while. Obviously
the longer interviews were the most successful ones. Mine was the only
one that lasted a minute and a half. I can remember the questions now:
“Why did you leave your last job, “Why did you leave your job before
that? “And the one before?” I can’t 5 ______ my
answers, except they were short at first and grew shorter as we
continued. His closing statement 6 ______ a lack of
sensitivity, which helped to explain why as a psychologist he had risen
no higher than the underground railway. “You have failed this test and we
are unable to offer you a position.” Failing to get that job was my low
point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such
a job 7 ______ exactly this sort of elementary
responsibility a dreamer like me is unlikely to have. But, I was still
far short of self-understanding as well as short of cash.

Tracy
Tracy was as excited as a
child about her first trip abroad. Early in the morning, she stopped at
a 1 ______ agency and reserved a suite on the
Signal Deck of the Queen Elizabeth II. The next three days
she spent buying clothes and luggage.
On the morning of the
sailing, Tracy hired a limousine to drive her to the pier. When she 2 ______ at
Pier 90, where the Queen Elizabeth II was docked, it was
crowded with photographers and television reporters, and for a moment
Tracy was panic stricken. Then she realized they were interviewing the
two men posturing at the foot of the gangplank. The members of the crew
were helping the passengers with their luggage. On deck, a steward looked
at Tracy’s ticket and 3 ______ her to her
stateroom. It was a lovely suite with a private terrace. It had been
ridiculously expensive but Tracy 4 ______ it was worth
it.
She unpacked and then
wandered along the corridor. In almost every cabin there were farewell
parties going on, with laughter and champagne and conversation. She felt
a sudden ache of loneliness. There was no one to see her 5 ______,
no one for her to care about, and no one who cared about her. She was
sailing into a completely unknown future.
Suddenly she felt the huge
ship shudder as the tugs started to pull it out of the harbor, and she
stood 6 ______ the passengers on the boat deck, watching
the Statue of Liberty slide out of 7 ______, and then
she went exploring.

Busy Day
Let me tell you what happened once when my dear
Uncle Podger decided to hang a picture on the wall. He told us not
to 1 ______ and just watch him do it.
He said he would do it by himself. Well, he came up to the picture which
was waiting to be put up in the dining room and took it. But suddenly it
fell down and the glass 2 ______ into
pieces and he cut his finger. He started to 3 ______ his
handkerchief but couldn’t find it because he had put it in his coat and
none of us knew where his coat was.
“Six of you!” Uncle Podger exclaimed, “and you cannot find the coat that
I put down only five minutes ago!” But then he got up from his chair and
found that he had been sitting on his coat the whole time. “Oh, you can
stop your 4 ______. I’ve found it myself!”
Then after an hour was spent in tying up his finger Uncle Podger wondered
where the hammer had disappeared to. And while everybody was trying to
get the hammer he was standing on the chair saying: “Well, I want to know
if you are going to 5 ______ me here all
evening!”
Finally the hammer was found, but we noticed that the nail which he had
prepared was lost. And, of course, Uncle Podger didn’t
keep 6 ______ while he was waiting for
another nail to be brought. We heard all he had to say about our habit of
losing all the things he needed.
When the picture was hanging on the wall at last, everybody looked
very 7 ______, all except Uncle Podger, who
was lively as ever. Aunt Maria remarked that if Uncle Podger wanted to do
a job like that again, she would spend a week with her mother until it
was over.

A
Storyteller
In my early 20s, after a year and a half in
England, and four months in France, I returned to the United States and
got a job at a camp in northern Virginia. My 1 ______ that
summer was Dan from Mississippi, and I am from Rhode Island. We worked
together with a group of boys from 12 to 14 years old. I’ve always been a
bit untidy, but Dan was 2 ______ and
clean, even after a night in the woods with our campers. We could not
have been more different, but we got on because we shared the
same 3 ______ of humor.
At the end of the summer, a few of us went to 4 ______ a
cave in West Virginia and got stuck in the cave for the night. It wasn’t
as dramatic as it sounds. The park rangers had told us to stay there if
anything happened. They knew where we were going, and when we should have
been back. Dan hurt his right foot badly. So we had to 5
______ the night in the cave. Food and water were not a problem,
but we turned off our lights to save power. In the distance, we could
hear the sound of running water.
To 6 ______ the time, we told stories. That
night in the cave we moved from one family story to another. As the night
wore on, I remembered more and more. I was not alone–the cave, the blue
light and the flowing water released stories and memories that we had
never revealed to anyone. It was as if a river of stories had started
flowing in each of us.
When the rangers came the next morning, we didn’t want
to 7 ______. «Can’t we just tell a few
more stories?» In the cave, that night, I became a storyteller.

New
York City: Nostalgia for the Old Neighbourhood
Life
is made up of little things: some unimportant memories from childhood
that, in fact, shaped your character. I 1 ______ on
Third Avenue in midtown Manhattan during the 1950s-60s where family life
was centred around old 2 ______ of
flats and small stores. Third Avenue was my old neighbourhood and it had
character. It was 3 ______ with working
families of Italian, German and Irish origin. We shopped together with
all those people and their kids played together. Third Avenue influenced
the way our family lived. I absorbed the street life. It gave me
an 4 ______ that I could not have
received in any other place. To me, it was home.
In a recent walk around Third Avenue my eyes 5 ______ signs
of the old neighbourhood but couldn’t find any. If I hadn’t been born
here and someone described the area, it would be 6 ______ to
believe. It wasn’t because a few buildings had changed – everything had
changed. The transformation began in the late 1950s and 60s when
corporations replaced the old neighbourhood. In the early 1960s, the
houses were pulled down. Families were forced to 7
______, the small stores went out of business and the old
neighbourhood was changed forever. And now there is a lack of character
in the transformed neighbourhood.

To Hear A Child
I
believe in patience. I
live as a volunteer residential counselor in a small group home. These
boys have brought joy and happiness into my life; they have made me laugh
and made me proud. However, they have also challenged me, made me angry
and tested my patience.
Each day we start anew, going about a 1 ______ routine.
I drive them to school, pick them up, cook for them and help with
homework. We spend the evenings 2 ______ about
what happened during the day. I meet their teachers and study for tests
with them. They are the last people I see each night and the first ones I
hear in the morning. They have become a 3 ______ of
my life. I am twenty-two and am beginning to understand the love of a
parent.
I could not have come this far without patience. They do not think like
miniature adults and it is not fair to expect them to. 4 ______ my
expectations of them are high, I must remember that so much of what they
see and understand is for the first time. First loves, first failed test,
first time feeling the need to break away from the nest. I must have
patience with them, because there is still a child within that comes out
when I least expect it.
This world is a fast-paced, fast food, fast-internet
place. 5 ______, no matter how fast things
move, children will be children. I believe they will mature quicker and
with more tools if I am patient. I see it in their eyes. Over time, sad
eyes can glisten again, but only if I am 6 ______ of
the fact that it takes them longer to get somewhere.
I see around them a world that expects too much of them. They
come 7 ______ too many things that give
them too much sadness. They listen to me, respect me and understand
reason but not always when I want them to. This opportunity has given me
wisdom but only when I was patient enough to hear a child.

To the North of London
The Aldenham Country Park is a large and pleasant area
easily reached if you are travelling north out of London. It is worth visiting
if you want a quick breath of fresh air and a reasonably attractive place for a
brief picnic. The most important point of the park is Aldenham Reservoir. It
was built in 1796 to __maintain__ the

were impressive, many of them furnished with mosaic floors. The beauty of the
mosaics can hardly be described on paper, and it is best __appreciated__ by standing and looking for a while. The

which __dates__ back
to the 3rd century.

Searching for a New Programme
A healthy lifestyle can vastly improve your well-being.
This is a lifestyle designed for those who wish to feel more certain about
their health and more in control of what the present and future will bring them
in that important __area__ of
existence. None of us wants to be sick. None of us enjoys the idea that we may
become a medical statistic. This is a simple, easy-to-follow health-style that
can enable you to get cards very much in your __favour__. The doctors were fortunate enough to come into __contact__ with a field of study that brought them to healing and
well-being that they so desperately needed. They personally have __witnessed__ thousands of people improve their health
using only a small part of information.
Many more people begin to improve their health now. Embracing
the most current information from many health-related fields, the programme of
healthy lifestyle gives you an understanding of the impact of exercise,
breathing, sunshine, sleep and much more on your health. In order for this
programme to work for you, you have to be willing to apply at least some part
of it. Some change will be __required__. And as you make those first modest changes, you will get
positive results that encourage you to do more. Changing is fun. And if you
realize that your new healthy lifestyle __involves__ the making of new habits,
not the __breaking__ of old
ones, you will feel very positive about what the future holds for you.

Ordinary
“Ordinary” was the worst word she could find for anything.
She and I would argue fiercely because I wanted to be ordinary as desperately
as my mother wanted to be __unusual__ .
“I can’t __stand__ that
hair-do”, she said when I went to the hairdresser with my friend and came back

ordinary”. Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary.
Her __fear__ of
ordinariness came out most strongly in her clothes.
“Couldn’t you please __wear__ something else?” I asked her when she was dressing for
Parents’ Day in tight-fitting pants and a bright pink sweater, with a Mexican
cape.
“What’s wrong with my outfit?”
What wasn’t wrong with it!
“It’s just that I wish it would be something more plain,” I said
sheepishly, “something that people won’t __stare__ at.”
She looked at me angrily and drew herself __up__ to her full height of five feet ten inches.

Alaska
The first Europeans to visit what is now called Alaska were
Russian sailors led by Captain Bering. The __expedition__ was funded by Russian czar Peter the
Great. In 1728 Bering and his crew __sailed__ through the strait that is now named after him, between the
easternmost part of Asia and the westernmost part of the Americas. Their
journey __proved__ that
Asia was not connected to North America; however, due to the heavy fog, they
never actually saw the nearby land of North America. In 1741 Bering headed
further south, landing on tiny Kayak Island off the __shore__ of what is now the southeastern part of the state.
In the 1780s and 1790s Russians began small colonies, first on
Kodiak Island and later on the mainland. In 1799 the Russian-American Company
was established to __look_after__
Russian interests. For the next 68 years the company provided the only form of

the __area__ until
the late 1860s, when they sold it to the United States for $7.2 million
dollars.
The __discovery__ of

The First Day at School
Do you remember your first day at school? It was probably __rather__ confusing. Now, to __avoid__ this confusion, many primary schools in England have a
special teacher who welcomes new pupils. She is __called__ a reception class teacher. The children are __threatened__ with the idea of school and if they have
been good, they can’t understand why they have to go to school. They imagine
that school is optional. When the child goes to school on his first day and
watches his mother leaving he thinks that she is deserting him. The teacher
must __convince__ him
that at the end of the day his mother will be back and take him home. The
children are not the only people that are disturbed by going to school. The
teacher sometimes has as much difficulty in __coping__ with the mothers. They hang around and dislike leaving the
child without their protection.
The best way to __deal__ with the situation is to get the child used to the idea of
school. Before the beginning of term, the mother should take her child to see
the teacher and to look __round__ the
school. The first day should be something to emphasize the regularity of
school.

Your Future World
What will you be doing in 2025? Will you be living in an
undersea research station? Will you be the chief engineer __designing__ a bridge across the Atlantic Ocean? Will
you be leading an __expedition__ to the
planet Mars? Will you be …?
You can daydream, of course, but nobody knows exactly what the
world will be __like__. But
scientists have made some guesses.
Based on the advances made, they believe people will be
healthier. Diphtheria, malaria, tuberculosis, polio and many other killers are
under control now. These diseases are on the way out, __thanks__ to germ-killing chemicals, new ways of finding out about our
bodies, and new ways of providing clean, safe __food__ and water.
Healthier people live longer, so we can expect the world’s population
to __increase__
sharply. It may double in the next forty years! This brings up a serious
problem: how will we find food, water, and minerals for such a huge population?
Scientists are at work on some __solutions__. From the ocean they hope to get new
fertilizers to increase the yield of the soil; new chemicals to kill
crop-destroying insects without __harming__ other animals, new sources of water or supplies of food.

Light from the Past
When you stand and look at the stars, you are really looking at
past history. The light from Alkaid, the end star in the handle of the Big
Dipper, has taken about 210 years to __reach__ your eyes. If Alkaid stopped __shining__ today, people on earth would still see it __for__ about 210 years. Some of the stars you see here tonight may
have stopped existing several thousand years ago. The light from some __faraway__ stars right now will not be seen on earth until thousands, or
even millions, of years from now!
It’s __quite__
breathtaking, and it __adds__ to the
great mystery about the nature of light. Think about water waves. They get
smaller and smaller in amplitude as they travel. Their energy is lost in friction
among the water molecules. Think of sound waves in air. They too get weaker and
weaker because of friction among the air molecules.
But light waves stop only if they strike something, and their
energy is transferred __into__
another form. __Otherwise__, they
can go on and on, at the same terrific speed, with no loss of energy, forever!

The Channel Tunnel
|
B4 |
For nearly two hundred years before it became a reality, people had been talking about building a tunnel under the sea to link England and France. |
TALK |
|
B5 |
Digging did actually start at the end of the 19th century, but the work was soon stopped because politicians were afraid that such a tunnel could be used by armies to attack England. |
USE |
|
B6 |
Despite all the difficulties and fears, a railway tunnel connecting the two countries was finally completed in 1994. |
CONNECT |
|
B7 |
Since then, thousands of people have made the journey under the English Channel seabed from the centre of Paris to the centre of London. |
MAKE |
|
B8 |
The trains travelling between England and France not only carry people, but vehicles, too. |
CARRY |
|
B9 |
Special trains are used to carry cars and lorries between stations, which have been put near the coast at both ends of the tunnel. So you can now take your car from one country to the other a lot faster than by ferry. |
PUT |
|
B10 |
Recently, second and third phases of the Channel tunnel have been built with intermediate stations and faster trains. |

A. Distance education or e-learning offers several advantages. Students participating in e-learning programs are often able to set their own schedules and work at their own pace. The learning experience can be supported by multimedia such as videos, interactive websites, and real-time conferencing with experts from anywhere in the world. Additionally, e-learning programs are less expensive than traditional ones.
B. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm did not expect to create a children’s collection of fairy tales. Instead, they wanted to preserve Germany’s oral tradition by collecting different stories. Not until several editions of their collection were published did the brothers realize that children were to be a major audience. Once the Brothers Grimm saw this new public, they tried to refine and soften their tales, which had originated centuries earlier as folklore.
C. The five Potter books have sold 250 million copies worldwide in 55 languages, including Latin and Ancient Greek. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, J. K. Rowlings uses spells and charms that are largely based on Latin. But one of the most serious spells, Avada Kedavra, may be a variant of «abracadabra». In the Harry Potter series, it is a spell that causes death. Harry Potter is the only one known to have survived it.
D. Critics of the Harry Potter books point out that the main characters who are supposed to be «good» are consistently and regularly portrayed as breaking all manner of ethical rules like those against lying, cheating, and stealing. They also regularly break school rules against behavior like going out at night, using magic in the Muggle world, and so forth.
E. On Christmas Eve of 1968, NASA astronaut William Anders, while orbiting the moon with the Apollo 8 mission, took a photograph that provided a foundation for the modern green movement. His photo shows a small, blue planet Earth peeking over the horizon of the Moon. The image of a small planet, alone in a vast ocean of space, showed billions of people the fragility of our planet and the importance of preserving and protecting Earth.
F. There are many indoor air pollutants that can be harmful. Indoor air can be up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Organic compounds from some paints, carpets, synthetic fabrics and adhesives are a known health hazard, contributing to the disease known as Sick Building Syndrome. Proper technology can help — open windows to let fresh air in and bad air out.
G. Some people, especially in rural areas, burn their trash in pits or barrels. It seems an easy way to get rid of your garbage, but the smoke it creates has a lot of really unhealthy toxic chemicals. Burning things like foam cups, plastics, and colored and bleached paper in backyards or even fireplaces causes toxic smoke that can spread throughout the neighborhood.

Представлены результаты разработки нового опросника академической мотивации (на выборке студентов вузов, N= 459), теоретической основой которого являются представления о внутренней и внешней мотивации учебной деятельности в теории самодетерминации. Различные типы мо-тивации выделены в соответствии с представлениями о человеческих потребностях, связанных с учебной деятельностью (потребности в познании, достижениях, саморазвитии), а также внешних по отношению к ней потребностях личности – в автономии и уважении. Результаты конфирматор-ного факторного анализа подтверждают наличие семи независимых шкал, характеризующих три типа внутренней мотивации (познавательная, достиженческая, мотивация саморазвития), три типа внешней мотивации учебной деятельности (мотивация самоуважения, интроецированная, экстер-нальная) и амотивацию. Все шкалы опросника обладают приемлемой надежностью (0.71< < α < 0.91) и демонстрируют предсказуемые корреляции с показателями любознательности, други-ми опросниками внутренней и внешней мотивации, а также показателями базовых потребностей (в автономии, компетентности и связанности). Половые различия в показателях академической мотивации оказались более слабыми, чем различия, связанные со спецификой вуза. Анализ це-лостных мотивационных профилей как для групп, так и для отдельных студентов позволяет дать качественную характеристику их учебной мотивации.

19. Imagine that you are preparing
a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the
presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 2 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it
out aloud. You will not have more than 2 minutes to read

Snow is a
form of ice. Snow forms when water in the atmosphere becomes frozen. Snow comes
in all different shapes and sizes.
Snow is used
for some winter sport activities like skiing and sledding. Sometimes people
make artificial snow so they can ski. People also commonly build things out of
snow for fun.
Snow can also
be dangerous, as it can lower visibility and make driving very difficult. When
it snows, the snow will melt a little during the daytime and freeze again at
night. This makes ice which can make driving conditions very treacherous. Snow
plows are used to remove snow from roads to make driving easier and safer.
Also, sand or salt may be added to the road to help tires grip the road. When
salt is mixed with snow, the snow will melt more easily. This is because salt
water has a lower melting point than fresh water.

A.
Dover Castle is a
medieval castle in Dover, Kent. It was during the reign of Henry II that the
castle began to take recognisable shape. The inner and outer baileys and the
great keep belong to this time. Maurice the Engineer was responsible for
building the keep, one of the last rectangular keeps ever built.
B.
The outbreak of the
Second World War in 1939 saw the tunnels converted first into an air-raid
shelter and then later into a military command centre and underground hospital.
In May 1940, Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay directed the evacuation of French and
British soldiers from Dunkirk, code-named Operation Dynamo, from his
headquarters in the cliff tunnels.
C.
Dover Castle was
featured in a lot of major cinema releases. Over the years the castle brought
to life many big movies. Starring Mel Gibson and Glenn Close, Dover Castle
provided the main location for Elsinore Castle, the home of Hamlet and his
family.

refreshments to satisfy your appetite. You may choose from snacks and sandwiches

УСТНАЯ ЧАСТЬ
19. Imagine that you are preparing
a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation
and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 2
minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud.
You will not have more than 2 minutes to read it.
Wind is the
flow of gases. On Earth, wind is mostly the movement of air. In outer space,
solar wind is the movement of gases or particles from the sun through space.
The strongest winds seen on a planet in our solar system are on Neptune and
Saturn. Wind can move land, especially in deserts. Cold wind can sometimes have
a bad effect on livestock. Wind also affects animals’ food stores, their
hunting and the way they protect themselves.
Wind can also
be caused by the rising of hot air, or the falling of cool air. When hot air
rises, it creates a low pressure underneath it, and air moves in to equalize
the pressure. When cold air drops, it creates a high pressure, and flows out to
even out the pressure with the low pressure around it. The wind is usually
invisible, but rain, dust, or snow can show how it is blowing.
These are
photos from your photo album. Choose one photo to describe to your friend.

•
why you decided to show

«I’ve chosen photo number…»
