Now we are ready to start

Speaker 1

My cat is rather special. She understands perfectly well when I ask her to come and sit with me, but she can pretend that she doesn "t hear. And she always knows which of the people that I invite to my home are okay and which ones aren" t. And when I have a headache in the evening she comes and sleeps over my head. I sometimes ask myself how she knows that I have a headache.

Speaker 2

When I was 4 years old, my mum found a kitten in the street and brought it home. So, the kitten and I grew up together! I remember that every night the cat would scratch at my door and I let her in. She waited for me to come home from school to be with her and liked watching me, as I was doing my homework. She lived 8 years. And she was truly my cat. I really miss her much.

Speaker 3

The thing I love about cats is the way they look. Their eyes are big and the colour is deep-blue like the sky, green like leaves or brown like amber. Their fur can be long or short, and if you treat your cat well, its fur will look shiny and rich. I haven "t seen a combination of colours that looked bad on cats - black and white, gray and white, orange and white - they all look perfect.

Speaker 4

The best thing about cats is that they "re wonderful to talk to when you" re sad or angry and you can "t control your emotions. Cats won" t talk back while you are talking to them, and will listen intently. They make me laugh when I "m in a bad mood, they comfort me when I" m sick. And when I "m happy they start playing with me and we all have lots of fun.

Speaker 5

Although I have had many cats, for everyone of them there is a reason why we found each other. Now I have three cats. One of them is the boss of my other cats. The second one is very smart and likes to open doors. And the third one thinks that the world turns around her and she is very proud of herself. All of my cats are very special to me because each of them has her or his own character. They are a great part of my life!

Speaker 6

What I like about cats is that they can take care of themselves. You don "t have to take a cat out for a walk several times a day. You don" t need to wash them too often, because they clean themselves. Cats can play on their own and don "t require too much of your attention. They can spend most of the time sleeping. And they even can get their own food by catching mice and spiders.

Philip: Ellen, come here and stand by the back door. Look at the rain.

Ellen: This is quite a storm! It "s good to be home in such a nasty weather.

Philip: Remember the last time we had thunder and lightning like this? The old cherry tree we had in our back yard was struck by lightning. I was afraid the nearby trees would also catch fire. If I "m not mistaken it was two or three years ago. We lost our electrical power as well.

Ellen: Luckily, it was in the middle of the day. Having no electricity at night is a lot different from having none during the day.

Philip: We must have talked about that because I remember going out the next day to buy a box of candles - just in case of a power failure.

Ellen: Well, let "s hope that doesn" t happen tonight and we won "t need them. Shall I call your friend Mark and ask him for dinner? He is a good storyteller and it would be nice to hear one of his stories.

Philip: Why not? Would you hand me the electric mixer, please? I forgot to finish mashing the potatoes.

Ellen: Here you are.

Philip: Thanks.

Ellen: There go the lights. It has happened again. We "ve got no electricity.

Philip: I can "t see a thing. I guess, no mashed potatoes for dinner today.

Ellen: Philip, why don "t you call the power company? Tell them we have a problem on Linden Street. And I" ll light the candles if I manage to find a box of matches in the cupboard. Here they are. Philip, doesn "t the kitchen look great in candlelight?

Philip: It does ... I called the company. They already know about the electrical problem. A tree fell onto a power line on the next street. People from nearby houses called them. They don "t know how long the lights will be out.

Ellen: Philip, I just thought about Mrs. Romero. She "s quite old, and she lives all alone in that big house. Wouldn" t she be more comfortable spending the evening with us?

Philip: Ellen, set another place for dinner. I "ll go and invite her over right now.

Now we are ready to start.

Interviewer: With us today is Cynthia Barnes, a travel writer. Cynthia, how did you happen to become a travel writer? Let "s start with a bit of history. Tell us about your childhood.

Cynthia: I grew up in a small town in the state of Arkansas with kids who had never been to any other places and who desperately wanted to see the world. They used to invent adventures for themselves in order to make up for the monotony of their real life. But I was lucky. My mom used to go on business trips to the neighboring states and once in a while she took me with her. They were real adventures and I was delighted but it had always been my dream to go to the far off countries I had read about in the "National Geographic" magazines. There were piles of them in dad "s study as well as an unlimited supply of books about explorations and adventures.

Interviewer: What do you usually feel before you set out on a journey?

Cynthia: I remember when I was little the night before we "d leave for a trip I had an absolutely unforgettable feeling - that" can "t-sleep, butterfly feeling". I couldn "t wait to go. It" s still with me today.

Interviewer: And how did you get started writing?

Cynthia: I have always been writing. I even won a Daughters of the American Revolution poetry contest in the fifth grade, and they gave me a fifty dollar saving bond. It was a childish little poem that began: "Our nation, it was founded by brave people long ago ..." Then I moved to Columbia and fell in with a group of writers ... Actually after school, all my jobs eventually were about producing newsletters, correcting ads, rewriting bad brochures. I "ve always kept journals, written letters, played around with personal essays. I never stopped writing. I can "t do without it. It "s in my blood.

Interviewer: You spend most of your life traveling. What do you do when you don "t travel?

Cynthia: If I don "t travel, I write. But I don "t stop traveling, to be honest. I travel everywhere at any time and in any possible way: by car, by plane, by horse or camel, by canoe or simply on foot.

Interviewer: Is it the major challenge for you as a travel writer?

Cynthia: Well, you see, traveling is a great pleasure and a thrill for me although some of my friends find it tiring to be constantly away from home for a long time. I like meeting new people, hearing their stories, tasting their food. But writers need time alone to reflect on what they have seen, what they have heard. And that "s where the problem lies. In a true to life story, a lot depends on whether you can balance your own solitary exploration and other people "stories. When you "re with others, you "re distracted. But when you" re by yourself, you have only your own impressions and observations and they can be misleading.

Interviewer: What was the most thrilling experience you had as a traveler?

Cynthia: It was an incredible expedition together with two adventurous travelers. We went to the rainforest in New Guinea, the most remote forest on Earth. We trekked across the island and lived with the local tribe. They are hunters, they live in total isolation from the rest of the world. Their only tools are stone axes and arrows. To survive in the jungle with them was a hard-core challenge. We had to learn how to eat insects as we simply couldn "t hunt even small wild animals the way they do. But in fact the biggest challenge was to establish contacts with the local tribe. You see, when we arrived, they met us with arrows, which they pointed at our heads very aggressively. It wasn "t the kind of greeting we were used to. We didn "t know a word in their language to speak to them, to ask them what all these rituals meant. We had to learn all this stuff to survive, to watch our gestures and tone of voice or we would die in the jungle.

Interviewer: What advice would you give to someone who is considering going into travel writing?

Cynthia: It "s great work ... but it" s work. It "s also an obligation. You are in charge of what you write. Maybe your reader will never go to a place you" re writing about but he has always dreamt about it. Don "t sell yourself or your observations short. And never ever trade your stories for TV clips. Writing is not about bargaining or getting profits. Telling stories about travel is an honorable profession. Mark Twain was a travel writer. So was Hemingway.

Interviewer: What is the biggest reward of life as a travel writer?

Cynthia: I sometimes go to luxury resorts to write stories about the area. Of course I "m kidding (laughs). You see, I" ve watched the sunrise on the Pacific coast and seen the Grand Canyon under a full moon. I saw fascinating sights in these places, the views. But most valuable is the incredible generosity and the spirit of the people I "ve met on my routes. It" s the biggest blessing to have a glimpse into their lives. This is what makes me stay in my business.

Практика показує, що найчастіше олімпіади - terra incognita як для учнів, так і для їх батьків. Та й вчителі далеко не завжди володіють повною інформацією. Мета даної статті - коротко розповісти, які бувають олімпіади, як вони проводяться і для чого потрібні.

Головні відмінності між Всеросійської олімпіадою і перечневий - схеми проведення та пільги.

Всеросійська олімпіада

• Проводиться Міністерством освіти
• Складається з чотирьох етапів (PSE, МЕ, РЕ і ЗЕ)
• Дає пільги під час вступу
• Підтверджувати пільги не треба
• Диплом дійсний 4 роки

перечневий олімпіади

• проводяться вузами
• Складаються з двох етапів (відбір і фінал)
• Дають пільги під час вступу
• Пільги треба підтверджувати балами ЄДІ
• Дипломи дійсні 4 роки в теорії і 1 рік на практиці

Всеросійська олімпіада школярів

Всеросс - найпрестижніше подія олімпіадного сезону. Про цю олімпіаду зазвичай знають більше, ніж про інші. Причина проста: перший етап вош проводять у всіх школах, Тому не почути про неї хоч що-небудь практично неможливо. За шкільним етапом йдуть муніципальний, регіональний та заключний. У шкільному етапі можуть брати участь всі бажаючі, а для участі в кожному наступному необхідно набирати встановлений прохідний бал.

Призери та переможці заключного етапу Всеукраїнської олімпіади отримують різні пільги при вступі до вузів: БВИ (вступ без іспитів), 100 балів в залік ЄДІ, бали за особисті досягнення. Ці пільги не вимагають підтвердження результатами ЄДІ.

Призерство і перемога на Всеросс - дуже складне завдання, часто з непередбачуваним фіналом ( «два роки ботал, і навіть на ЗЕ не пройшов»). Тому не можна робити ставку лише на одну цю олімпіаду. Обов'язково підстраховувати за допомогою перечневий (особливо в 11 класі).

Перечневий (вузівські) олімпіади

Перечневий олімпіади, на відміну від Всеросійської, до шкіл ніякого відношення не мають. Їх проводять вузи (тому перечневий олімпіади часто іменуються вузівськими). Наприклад, олімпіаду «Вища проба» проводить ВШЕ, «Євразійську» олімпіаду проводить МЛУ, олімпіаду РАНХиГС проводить, як легко здогадатися, РАНХиГС. Оскільки школи не займаються питанням вузівських олімпіад, відстежувати всі пов'язані з ними події необхідно самостійно.

По-перше, потрібно знати, які олімпіади є перечневий. Щороку Російський рада олімпіад школярів (РСОШ) становить список олімпіад, а Міністерство освіти стверджує його. Цей список і є перелік. Якщо олімпіада знаходиться в цьому списку, значить вона перечневая. Якщо відсутня, значить вона не перечневая, і жодних вступних пільг по ній не передбачено. Олімпіади з англійської мови, що увійшли до переліку поточного року, зібрані на відповідній сторінці сайту Upwego.

Кожній перечневий олімпіаді присвоюється певний рівень: від I до III. У 2017/18 навчальному році, наприклад, було чотири олімпіади з англійської мови I рівня, 7 олімпіад II рівня і 2 олімпіади III рівня (одна з яких проводилася не по всій Росії). Знати рівень олімпіади необхідно для визначення того, яка вам дістанеться пільга.

Набір пільг по перечневий олімпіад такий же, як і у Всеросс: БВИ, 100 балів в залік ЄДІ або кілька балів особистих досягнень. Однак на відміну від пільг Всеросійської олімпіади, будь-які пільги по перечневий олімпіад потребують підтвердження результатами ЄДІ: Потрібно скласти іспит на 75 балів і вище (кількість балів може відрізнятися в різних вузах, але зазвичай це саме 75).

Визначившись, які олімпіади входять до переліку, потрібно йти на сайти цих олімпіад і вивчати регламент їх проведення. Загальна схема однакова для всіх: спочатку проходить відбірковий тур (як правило, online), потім слід фінал (очний). Точні дати проведення публікуються на сайтах олімпіад.

Важливий момент: для участі в будь-який перечневий олімпіаді необхідна реєстрація, яка у різних олімпіад відкривається в різний час. За цим потрібно стежити, заглядаючи на олімпіадні сайти починаючи з жовтня. На деяких олімпіадах (наприклад, на «Вищої пробі») реєстрація закінчується раніше, ніж починається відбірковий тур. Тому питанням реєстрації слід потурбуватися заздалегідь, не відкладаючи на останній момент. Для реєстрації, як правило, потрібні певний набір документів: згода батьків, довідка зі школи. Повний список вимог вказано на сайтах олімпіад. Обов'язково вивчіть їх, коли плануєте участь.

Інформація про те, коли і як проводиться відбірковий тур, також публікується на сайтах олімпіад. Дізнавшись дату і час проведення, необхідно самостійно зайти на сайт олімпіади і пройти відбірковий тур у відведені для цього терміни. Набравши на відбірковому турі прохідний бал, ви проходите в фінал.

Фінали перечневий олімпіад проводяться очно. У більшості з них є кілька майданчиків проведення - в різних містах. Шукати відповідне місто проведення олімпіади, а також їхати туди необхідно самостійно. Деякі олімпіади надають іногороднім учасникам гуртожитку і сплачують транспортні витрати.

Увага! Перечневий олімпіади - це особиста відповідальність учасника.Ніхто не буде нагадувати, що треба зареєструватися, пройти відбірковий тур, подивитися свої бали, з'їздити на заключний тур. Якщо ви забули, що не встежили, не встигли - самі винні.

Як зрозуміти, які пільги покладаються за олімпіаду?

Рішення про те, які пільги давати олімпіадника, приймають вузи.Тому, щоб дізнатися, які вам покладаються пільги, необхідно йти на сайт вузу, який вас цікавить, і шукати там документи під назвою «Особливі права, що надаються переможцям і призерам Всеросійської олімпіади школярів» (якщо у вас диплом вош) і «Особливі права, надаються переможцям і призерам олімпіад школярів, включених до Переліку олімпіад »(якщо у вас диплом перечневий олімпіади). У цих документах докладно розписано, які дипломи олімпіад на яких факультетах приймають.

Зверніть увагу, що різні факультети одного і того ж вузу встановлюють різні пільги. Наприклад, в 2018 році факультет ВШЕ «Іноземні мови і міжкультурна комунікація» приймав без вступних іспитів тільки переможців олімпіади «Вища проба», а факультет «Мова і література Ірану» в тому ж вузі давав БВИ переможцям і призерам будь олімпіади I рівня, а також переможцям будь олімпіади II рівня. Також зверніть увагу, що протягом року опублікований список пільг може змінюватися без попередження, Причому як у бік розширення, так і в бік звуження. Слідкуйте за цим уважно і перевіряйте його частіше.

Терміни дії олімпіадних дипломів

Дипломи Всеросійської олімпіади діють 4 роки.Це означає, що виграв Всеросс в 9 класі, під час вступу до вузу після 11 класу ви можете скористатися всіма пільгами, які дає ваш диплом.

Теоретично термін дії дипломів перечневий олімпіад теж становить 4 роки.Однак тут, на відміну від Всеросс, вузи мають право уточнювати, клас, в якому був отриманий диплом, і в більшості випадків вимагають, щоб він був отриманий в 11 класі. Таким чином, диплом, отриманий, наприклад, в 9 класі, є формально дійсним (4 роки не минув), але практично марним (його ніде не приймають). Точні відомості про те, які класи враховуються, можна почерпнути на сайтах вузів, в тих же документах про особливі права.

Приходьте вчитися!

Заняття в групах

Я готую до олімпіад в міні-групах (від 2 до 6 осіб). На заняттях основна увага приділяється розширенню словникового запасу, роботі над ідіомами, країнознавством та іншими олімпіадних штучками. Заняття йдуть повністю англійською мовою. Обов'язковим компонентом є домашні завдання.

програми навчання

Готуючись самостійно, легко випустити з уваги щось важливе. Щоб цього не сталося, я пропоную вам спеціальні олімпіадні програми. Займаючись за програмою, ви регулярно отримуєте організований набір вправ. На відміну від групових занять, програми проходять on-line, тому доступні для будь-яких регіонів.

Курси

На відміну від програм, які охоплюють відразу кілька напрямків, кожен курс присвячений окремій області. Наприклад, курс «Олімпіадний асорті» дасть можливість спробувати на смак різні формати олімпіадного листи, а курс «Олімпіадні доповідь» детально опрацьовує формат Report. Повний список доступних курсів можна знайти на сторінці Курси, граматика, країнознавство, говоріння. Також вирішуйте варіанти минулих років. Потрібно займатися кожен день, приділяючи підготовці не менше години. допоможе в цій непростій справі :)

Integrated reading and listening

Task 1. Read the text, then listen to a part of the lecture on the same topic. You will notice that some ideas coincide and some differ in them. Answer questions 1-12 by choosing A if the idea is expressed in both materials, B if it can be found only in the reading text, C if it can be found only in the audio-recording, and D if neither of the materials expresses the idea.

Now you have 2 minutes to read the text.

For many years, scientists have known that music can help soothe babies. Then they discovered that listening to music, Mozart in particular, can help babies in ways they had not imagined before. The phenomenon, called the Mozart Effect, was found to have positive benefits on intelligence and creativity.

In one study, psychologists gave study participants three tests. During each of the tests, the participants of the study listened to either Mozart, relaxation music, or nothing at all. The results of the study showed that all of the participants scored better on the tests after listening to Mozart. On average, the participants added about nine points to their IQ after listening to Mozart.

The Mozart Effect also affects the creativity of babies. In his book, American author Don Campbell described how playing Mozart for babies before they are born can help them become more creative as adults. According to Campbell, the music helped stimulate their mental development. By the time the babies were born, they were already more creative than babies who did not listen to Mozart. His argument was so strong that some hospitals decided to give all new mothers CDs of Mozart's music.

Now listen to a part of the lecture on the same topic and then do the task (questions 1-12), comparing the text above and the lecture. You will hear the lecture twice.

1. Music can calm babies down.

2. The Mozart Effect has a good impact on children's intelligence and creativity.

3. The study involved three tests.

4. One group of the test-takers did not listen to any music at all.

5. The test-takers were college students.

6. A molecular basis for the Mozart Effect has recently been revealed.

7. The extra nine points, added to the IQs of those who listened to Mozart, disappeared after 15 minutes.

8. Rats, like humans, perform better on learning and memory tests after listening to a Mozart sonata.

9. The Mozart Effect has not been proved scientifically.

10. Don Campbell's book The Mozart Effect has condensed the world's research on all beneficial effects of certain types of music.

11. Some hospitals gave new mothers CDs of Mozart's music.

12. The theory of the Mozart Effect was a marketing tool.

Do not Worry Be Happy

One of my many faults has been my tendency at times to attempt to cross a difficult bridge before I have come to it. 1) ____________ I will tell you of an example of this sort of experience which overtook me many years ago and of which I was reminded just recently.

In the early Sixties, the British India Steam Navigation Company embarked upon a project to offer educational cruises to pupils of secondary and junior schools in Britain, a project which turned out to be very popular, and I was invited to be the Protestant chaplain on the second of the early cruises.

I was pleased to accept since it was during my month "s holiday from my church. 2) ______ I was being regaled by kindly friends with stories of how badly seasick passengers could become if it was stormy - as it often was - when sailing through the Bay of Biscay, which our ship would be navigating on its way to the Mediterranean.

I decided to seek help. 3) _____________ To my surprise and disappointment, he laughed ruefully.

"I" m afraid I can offer you no help at all. I was seasick every single time we left port during my service days! "

My anxieties proved needless. 4) _______________ It was different on our homeward voyage, with a force ten gale through Biscay. Many of my fellow passengers were seasick, but to my surprise and relief I was not in the least upset by the stormy conditions and the violent movements of the ship. 5) ____________ I had tortured myself needlessly, by trying to cross bridges before I came to them.

A Then I began to worry a bit, as I had never yet been to sea.

B People can cause themselves considerable pain and nervous tension by trying to cope in

Task 2. Read the following newspaper article and answer questions 6-11 by choosing А, В, C, or D. Give only one answer to each question.

UP Up and AWAY

You may remember King Kong on the Empire State Building in the film, where a comparison is implied between the then highest building in the world (at 380m) and the giant, menacing ape. Ever since the Tower of Babel, man has liked to think big in terms of building. Whether it be by constructing pyramids, ziggurats or palaces (while, perhaps paradoxically, living in huts and hovels), he has had an urge to reach for the sky and it is this that has led to the twentieth / twenty-first century craze for skyscrapers. Indeed, thrusting aggressively into the sky like rockets about to take off, these structures seem to mimic our passion for space exploration.

In order for modern skyscrapers to be a practical possibility, however, something had to happen. That was the invention of the lift, by Elisha Graves Otis, in 1854. Three years later, it was put to commercial use in New York and buildings higher than five storeys became feasible for the first time.

The first high-rise constructions were not skyscrapers as we would recognise them today, but merely taller than average buildings. In 1899 however, the Park Row office block was constructed with a steel frame, and this led to new techniques where the form of the building is skeletal, with the main loading being located in the central core and the external "curtain wall" constructed of lightweight materials, for instance glass and aluminium. This substitution of lighter materials for concrete made it possible for architects to design buildings of 400 to 500m in height. Having said that, it should be borne in mind that the tallest building in the world is currently Petronas Towers, rising 452m above Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and that it is also the tallest concrete structure in the world.

Getting higher and higher with the development of relevant technology, skyscrapers are a fair indication of economic trends, going up during the boom years only to come to a standstill when recessions cut off funds. For this reason, the 1980s heralded a wave of skyscraper building while the less promising 1990s slowed it down. Furthermore, the bulk of the building work has moved from its home in the USA (Chicago being the birthplace of the skyscraper) to Asia, reflecting the new power, prestige and confidence of the growing tiger economies. It is, therefore, no wonder that Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers superseded Chicago's Sear's Tower, which at 443m had been the tallest building in the world for 22 years, in 1998.

The New World is, nevertheless, fighting back against this competition from the Pacific Rim, with plans for Chicago South Dearborn project (610m), to be completed by 2003. Europe, on the other hand, seems to have оpted out of the race altogether , the planned London Millennium Tower being scaled down from a projected 486m to 386m because otherwise people would consider it too tall! Europe's current highest building, Commerzbank headquarters in Frankfurt, is, at 261m, no match for the American and Asian giants, and neither is London's Canary Wharf (236m) which was the highest building in Europe until 1997. Asian giants in the pipeline are Tokyo's Millennium Tower at 840m and Hong Коng's Bionic Tower at a staggering 1,128m.

Asia and America may be experiencing an urge to push ever upwards, but there are sound reasons that have nothing to do with economy or lack of ambition, for keeping tall buildings to the 400 to 500m mark. Heights exceeding that present logistical problems, such as how to transport large numbers of people up and down the building, such as how to minimise wind sway (which may be as much as 3 metres (9 ft) in either direction, especially in the home of the skyscraper 'windy city,' Chicago!) and how to find investors to rent space in the middle, assuming that the bottom will fill with shops and the top with hotels and observation towers. Experts, however, are working on two of these problems, experimenting with different kinds of lift and conducting extensive wind tunnel tests to help eliminate wind-induced sway.

In times of economic austerity, though, can we really afford to build these energy-intensive structures? Well, they are in several respects eco-friendly, providing a lot of office space on relatively little land, concentrating several services in one place and reducing overspill into green belts.

Nevertheless, it is no mean feat to equip skyscrapers with renewable sources of energy, as ideas such as covering the facade with photo-voltaic cells to convert light energy into electricity are extremely expensive. Street-level winds, however, may be utilised to power turbines which generate electricity within the buildings, and there specific plans for a citygate ecotower in London (456m), which would derive half its energy sources from solar and wind power.

So, what will the future hold for skyscrapers? Will they change the face and the skyline of our cities just to make a point, as it were? Who knows? Even today, though, King Kong would be spoiled for choice.

6. Why does the author mention King Kong?

A. To remind the reader of the famous film.

B. To show the size of the building.

C. To prove that today King Kong would not be a good choice.

D. Because King Kong was a menacing ape.

7. The author states that people like to build big because

A it compensates for their inability to travel in space.

В it is rooted in our history.

З it seems to be an innate desire.

D they like to live in pyramids and palaces.

8. The modern skyscraper was first made possible by

A a device invented in the nineteenth century.

З the steel-frame building technique.

D a commercial building in New York.

9. Skyscrapers are a mirror of

A the tiger economies.

В Asian power.

З building trends.

D economic tendencies.

10. What is the European attitude towards very high buildings?

A More enthusiastic than American and Asian ones.

У Competitive and aggressive.

З A lack of ambition.

D Not particularly enthusiastic.

11. Why are so many skyscrapers no more than 400 - 500m tall?

A Because people like them that way.

В Because investors don "t want them taller.

З Because taller buildings present specific problems.

D Because the middle floors can not be let easily.

12. In ecological terms, skyscrapers today

A are too expensive and energy-intensive.

У are always eco-friendly.

З can not be heated by alternative energy.

D are of some benefit to the environment.

Task 1. For questions 1-15 read the text about school calendars in America. Solve the crossword puzzle by replacing the underlined words or word combinations with their synonyms. The (0 down) and (00 across ) In the beginning of the text have been done as examples to help you.

Today we continue our discussion of school calendars as a new American school year(0 down) starts.

Some people say the (00 across) conventional calendar of one hundred eighty days no longer meets the(1 down) requirements of American society. They point out that students in most other industrial countries are in school more hours a day and more days a year.

Critics also say a long summer vacation causes students to forget much of what they learned.

Schools are under pressure to raise test scores. Some have changed their calendars to try to improve students 'results. They have(2 across) extended the school day or added days to the year or both.

This can be (3 down) expensive if schools need air conditioning on hot days and school(4 across) staff need to be paid for the extra time.

Local businesses may object to a longer school year because students are unable to work long in summer jobs.

Some schools have a year-round(5 down) program . The school year is extended over twelve months. Instead of a long vacation, there are many short ones.

The National Association of Year-Round Education says almost five percent of public school students(6 down) go to year-round schools. It says almost all of the states have some public schools that are open all year.

Some parts of the country had year-round programs in the nineteenth century, mostly for economic reasons. They felt it wasted money to use school(7 down) buildings for only part of the year. Some(8 across) teachers think year-round education gives(9 across) help and encouragement to students from poor families who(10 down) do not have much financial assistance at home as their parents might not have permanent(11 across) work.

Year-round (12 across) education can also (13 across) decrease crowding in schools. In one version, students attend school for nine weeks and then have three weeks off. The students are in groups that are not all in school at the same time.

Another year-round calendar has all students in school together for nine weeks and off for three. This is meant to(14 across) supply the continuous learning that can be lost over a long break. And the main purpose of schools is to improve students '(15 across) achievements.

But year-round schooling has opponents. They say it can cause problems for families when they want to make summer plans. And they say it interferes with activities outside school - including summer employment.

Some experts say no really good studies have been done to measure the effect of school calendars on performance.

Task 1.

Police Officer: Hello. 24th Precinct. Officer Jones speaking.

Man: Help. Yeah, uh, it was wild, I mean really bizarre.

Police Officer: Calm down sir! Now, what do you want to report?

Man: Well, I "d like to report a UFO sighting.

Police Officer: A what?

Man: What do you mean "what?" An unidentified flying object!

Police Officer: Wait, tell me exactly what you saw.

Man: Well, I was driving home from a party about three hours ago, so it was about 2:00 AM, when I saw this bright light overhead.

Police Officer: Okay. And then what happened?

Man: Oh, man. Well, it was out of this world. I stopped to watch the light when it disappeared behind a hill about a kilometer ahead of me.

Police Officer: Alright. Then what?

Man: Well, I got back in my car and I started driving toward where the UFO landed.

Police Officer: Now, how do you know it was a UFO? Perhaps you only saw the lights of an airplane, or the headlights of an approaching car. Things like that happen, you know.

Man: Well if it was that, how do you explain "the BEAST"?

Police Officer: What do you mean, "the BEAST"?

Man: Okay. I kept driving for about five minutes when all of a sudden, this giant, hairy creature jumped out in front of my car.

Police Officer: Oh, yeah.Then what?

Man: Well, then, the beast picked up the front of my car and said, "Get out of the car. I" m taking you to my master! "Something like that.

Police Officer: Wow? A hairy alien who can speak English! Come on!

Man: I "m not making this up, if that" s what you "re suggesting. Then, when I didn" t get out of the car, the beast opened the car door, carried me on his shoulders to this round-shaped flying saucer, and well, that "s when I woke up along side the road. The beast must have knocked me out and left me there.

Police Officer: Well, that "s the best story I" ve heard all night, sir. Now, have you been taking any medication, drugs, or alcohol in the last 24 hours? You mentioned you went to a party.

Man: What? Well, I did have a few beers, but I "m telling the truth.

Police Officer: Okay, okay. We have a great therapist that deals with THESE kinds of cases.

Man: "Humph" What do you mean "Humph." I was the star player in high school.

Woman: Yeah, twenty-five years ago. Look, I just don "t want you having a heart attack running up and down the court.

Man: So, what are you suggesting? Should I justabandon the idea? I "m not thatout of shape .

Woman: Well. . . you ought to at least have aphysical before you begin. I mean, it HAS been at least five years since you played at all.

Man: Well, okay, but. . .

Woman: And you need to watch your diet andcut back on the fatty foods, like ice cream. And you should try eating more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Man: Yeah, you "re probably right.

Woman: And you shouldtake up a little weight training to strengthen your muscles or perhaps try cycling to build up yourcardiovascular system . Oh, and you need to go to bed early instead of watching TV half the night.

Man: Hey, you "re starting to sound like my personal fitness instructor!

Woman: No, I just love you, and I want you to be around for a long, long time.

Task 3. Integrated reading and listening

Today let's talk about the effect of music on babies. There's the theory about the so-called Mozart Effect, which refers to the supposed increased performance of babies after listening to Mozart. But the claims made in the book have been challenged and disproved by a number of other studies. Let me tell you about them.

First, let's talk about a study often referred to that supports the Mozart Effect where the participants took three different tests. While the test-takers were completing the test, they listened to either Mozart, relaxation music, or nothing at all. Well, what is often left out is that the test-takers in the study were not babies at all - they were college students. Which explains why they were able to take the tests in the first place, right? Anyway, even if we decide to overlook the fact that we're talking about college students, the effects mentioned in the study were also not long-lasting. The extra nine points that were added to their IQs after listening to Mozart went away after about 15 minutes.

Another claim made is that listening to Mozart makes children more creative. It even says that if you play Mozart for babies before they are born, they will be born more creative than babies who did not listen to Mozart. But there is no actual scientific proof of any of this. Since the theory of the Mozart Effect became popular, claims like this have been made over and over again, mostly to help sell expecting parents CDs of classical music. But, until some proof is reported, we have to consider such claims as nothing more than marketing tools.

Pyramid Legends

There are persistent legends that the Great Pyramid was used as some sort of sacred initiation center. According to one legend, students who had first undergone years of preparation, meditation and metaphysical instruction in an esoteric school (the mythic "Hall of Records" hidden deep beneath the desert sands somewhere near the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx) were placed in the granite coffer of the main chamber and left alone throughout an entire night. The coffer was the focal point of the energies gathered, concentrated, aimed, and directed at the main chamber by virtue of the precise mathematical location, alignment, and construction of the pyramid. These energies, considered to be especially potent at certain precisely calculated periods when the earth was in a particular geometric alignment with solar, lunar, and stellar objects, were conducive to the awakening, stimulation, and acceleration of spiritual consciousness in the suitably prepared adept. While it is now nearly impossible to spend an evening alone in the coffer of the main chamber, it is interesting to read the reports of those persons who have done so in the past. Mention will be made of experiences both terribly frightening (perhaps because of the lack of any appropriate training on the part of the experimenter) and also deeply peaceful, even spiritually illuminating. Napoleon himself spent a night alone in the chamber. Emerging pale and dazed, he would not speak of his powerful experiences, only saying, "You would not believe me if I told you."

A second matter needing further inquiry from the scientific community studying the Great Pyramid - and one that might help explain the subject just discussed - concerns the matter of unexplained energetic anomalies frequently noticed and recorded in the main chamber. In the 1920s, a Frenchman named Antoine Bovis made the surprising discovery that, despite the heat and high humidity of the main chamber, the dead bodies of animals left in the chamber did not decay but completely dehydrated. Thinking that there might be some relationship between this phenomena and the position of the main chamber in the pyramid, Bovis constructed a small-scale model of the pyramid, oriented it to the same direction as the Great Pyramid, and placed the body of a dead cat at the approximate level of the main chamber. The result was the same. As he had observed in the Great Pyramid, the cat "s body did not decay. In the 1960s, researchers in Czechoslovakia and the US, conducting limited studies of the geometry of the pyramid, repeated this experiment with the same results. They also found that the form of the pyramid somehow mysteriously kept foods preserved without spoiling, sharpened dull razor blades, induced plants to germinate and grow more quickly, and hastened the healing of animals "wounds. Other scientists, in consideration of the high quartz content of the granite blocks in the main chamber and the incredible pressures those blocks are subjected to, theorized that the main chamber may have been the focal point of a powerful piezoelectric field; magnetometer measurements inside the chamber indeed showed higher levels than the normal background geomagnetic field.

Although much research remains to be done in these areas, legend, archaeology, mathematics, and earth sciences seem to indicate that the Great Pyramid was a monumental device for gathering, amplifying, and focusing a mysterious energy field for the spiritual benefit of human beings. We do not know exactly how the pyramid and its main chamber were used, and the geometric structure of the pyramid has been subtly altered by the removal of the casing stones and the cap-stone. None-the-less, the Great Pyramid of the Giza plateau still emanates great power as a transformational power place. It has done so for uncounted thousands of years and seems destined to continue for ages to come.

11 Why were the ancient meditation students placed inside the Great Pyramid?

1) to practice meditation skills

2) to be taught there

3) to learn more about there inner balance

4) To gain physical and spiritual power

12 It's impossible to spend a night in the Pyramid because

1) it's too scary

2) it's forbidden by law

3) the admittance is not allowed

4) there are too many people there

13 The potential energy of the Pyramid could be experienced

1) at night only

3) when the Earth is in balance with solar system

4) when stellar objects are close to the Earth

14 Which energetic anomalies were not registered in the Pyramid?

1) it kept water fresh

2) it kept the dead bodies from decay

3) the injuries were healed quicker

4) it made the plants grow faster

15 What helped to keep food fresh in the Pyramid?

1) the form of the Pyramid

2) sharpened dull razor blades

3) the geomagnetic field

4) a powerful piezoelectric field

Time: 45 minutes (40 scores)

Task 1

For items 1–10 , Read the passage below and choose option A, B, C or D which best fits according to the text.

Duncan Phyfe

Duncan Phyfe made some of the most beautiful furniture found in America. His family name was originally Fife, and he was born in Scotland in 1768. In 1784 рік, the Fife family immigrated to Albany, New York where Duncan's father opened a cabinet making shop. Duncan followed in his father's footsteps and was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker. After completing his training, Duncan moved to New York City. Duncan Fife was first mentioned in the тисяча сімсот дев'яносто дві NYC Directory as a furniture "joiner" in business at 2 Broad Street. Two years later, he moved, expanded his business, and changed his name to Phyfe. He was a quiet-living, God-fearing young man who felt his new name would probably appeal to potential customers who were definitely anti-British in this post-Revolutionary War period. Duncan Phyfe's name distinguished him from his contemporaries. Although the new spelling helped him better compete with French émigré craftsmen, his new name had more to do with hanging it on a sign over his door stoop.
The artisans and merchants who came to America discovered a unique kind of freedom. They were no longer restricted by class and guild traditions of Europe. For the first time in history, a man learned that by working hard, he could build his business based on his own name and reputation and quality of work. Phyfe's workshop apparently took off immediately. At the peak of his success, Phyfe employed 100 craftsmen. Some economic historians point to Phyfe as having employed division of labor and an assembly line. What his workshop produced shows Phyfe's absolute dedication to quality in workmanship. Each piece of furniture was made of the best available materials. He was reported to have paid $ 1,000 for a single Santo Domingo mahogany log.

Phyfe did not create new designs. Rather, he borrowed from a broad range of the period's classical styles, Empire, Sheraton, Regency, and French Classical among them. Nevertheless, Phyfe's high quality craftsmanship established him as America's patriotic interpreter of European design in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Although the number of pieces produced by Duncan Phyfe's workshop is enormous, comparatively few marked or labeled pieces have been found extant. In antiques shops and auctions, collectors have paid $ 11,000 for a card table, $ 24,200 for a tea table, and $ 93,500 for a sewing table.

1. Based on the information in the passage, what can be inferred about Duncan Phyfe?
   • A) He regretted that Great Britain no longer governed New York City.
   • B) He was an excellent businessman with a good sense of craftsmanship and design.
   • C) He built all his furniture by himself in a workshop in Santo Domingo.
   • D) He joined the cabinetmakers 'guild after he moved to Scotland in 1792.
2. According to the passage, which of the following does the author imply?
   • A) Duncan Fife and his father had the same first name.
   • B) Duncan Fife worked for his father in Scotland.
   • C) Duncan Phyfe made over 100 different kinds of tables.
   • D) Duncan Fife and his father were in the same business.
3. Which sentence in paragraph 2 explains Duncan's name change?
   • A) The third sentence.
   • B) The second sentence.
   • C) The first sentence.
   • D) None of the above.
4. Which choice does the word 'it' refer to in the second paragraph?
   • A) His spelling.
   • B) His chair.
   • C) His name.
   • D) His French.
5. Which of the following does the word 'freedom' refer to?
   • A) Restricted.
   • B) No longer restricted.
   • C) By working hard.

   • A) Organization of craftsmen.
   • B) Verdict of a jury.
   • C) Political party of émigrés.
   • D) Immigrants 'club.
7. Where in the passage could the following sentence be added to the passage? Every joint was tight, and the carved elements were beautifully executed.
   • A) After the word "workmanship" in paragraph 3.
   • B) After the word "cabinetmaker" in paragraph 1.
   • C) After the word "stoop" in paragraph 2.
   • D) After the words "sewing table" in the last paragraph.
8. In his business, Duncan Phyfe used all of the following EXCEPT:
   • A) division of labor.
   • B) an assembly line.

Task 2

For items 11-20, Read the passage below and choose which of the sentences A-K fit into the numbered gaps in the text. There is one extra sentence which does not fit in any of the gaps. Write the correct letter in boxes 11-20 on your answer sheet.

Ever since the 1910s, when film-makers first set up shops in Hollywood, mapmakers have been making quite unusual and even unique things: maps showing the locations of the fabulous homes of the stars. Collectively, they form an unofficial version of the Oscars, showing who's in and who's out in the film world. 'Each one looks different,' says Linda Welton, whose grandfather and mother pioneered these maps. 11 ________. Former film stars vanish from them, new ones appear on them, and some of the truly greats are permanent fixtures on them.
In 1933 noticing the steady stream of tourists going westward to follow the stars from Hollywood to Beverly Hills (the nearby district where most of the stars went to live), Linda's grandfather, Wesley Lake, got a copyright for his Guide to Starland: Estates and Mansions. 12 ________. For 40 years Linda's mother, Vivienne, sold maps just down the road from Cary Cooper's place at 200, Baroda *. The asterisk indicates that it was the actor's final home, as opposed to a plus sign (denoting an ex-home) or a zero (for no view from the street).
'My grandfather asked Mom to talk to the gardeners to find out where the stars lived,' Linda recalls. 'She would come up to them and say: "13 ________" Who would suspect a little girl?' Linda Welton and her team now sell about 10,000 maps a year from a folding chair parked curbside six days a week. 14 ________.

The evolution of the maps mirrors both the Hollywood publicity machine and real estate and tourism development. 15 ________. The first celebrity home belonged to the artist Paul de Longpre. 16 ________.

Although it is not known for certain who published the first map, by the mid-1920s all sorts of people were producing them. 17 ________.
One of the most famous of the early maps was produced to show the location of Pickfair, the home of the newly married stars Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, and the homes of some of their star friends. During World War I, they opened their home to serve refreshments to soldiers. As Vivienne Welton once explained in an interview, to a map and cartography magazine, 'She asked a few friends to do the same. 18 ________. '

For over 40 years, people have marched toward the corner of Sunset and Baroda with hand-painted yellow signs saying: 'Star Maps, 2 blocks', 'Star Maps, 1 block', 'Star Maps here'. The maps reflect the shifting geography of stardom as celebrities, looking for escape from over-enthusiastic fans, some with quite unhealthy intentions, have moved out to various districts in Malibu. 19 ________. Legendary stars - Garbo, Monroe, Chaplin - remain on them. 20 ________.

• A. As they do so, they give advice to the tourists on star safaris through the lime green landscape of Beverly Hills.
• B. Studios like Paramount published the names and addresses of its stars on theirs, and businesses distributed them as a promotional gimmick.
• C. Others, however, say that the star maps are still an essential part of Hollywood and the film world.
• D. More profoundly, perhaps, the maps suggest the temporary nature of fame.
• E. Early film stars like Lillian Gish lived in modest, somewhat grubby rooming houses, taking street cars to and from the studio.
• F. Updated regularly, they are still for sale at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Baroda Drive.
• G. And so a map was needed.
• H. It is the oldest continuously published star map and one of a half-dozen or so maps of varying degrees of accuracy and spelling correctness sold today.
• I. Oh, this is a beautiful garden, but who lives here?
• J. Others, however, hang on for about a decade and then vanish.
• K. He had a luxuriously-landscaped house at Cahuenga Avenue and Hollywood and real estate agents would take prospective clients past it on tours.

Now we begin.

Some time ago, I was in a bicycle shop looking for a new lock for my bicycle. The shopkeeper showed me several, patiently explaining their advantages and disadvantages. None of them was quite what I wanted and eventually I said to the shopkeeper, "I'll think about it. Thanks very much ", and left the shop. Why did I say, "I'll think about it"? Not something more straightforward like, "None of these is right", "They're too big", "They are too small", "They're too expensive", "I'll go elsewhere"? I think, there are two reasons why I chose to say "I'll think about it". The first is that I did not want the shopkeeper to feel that his products were not valued or that his time had been wasted and second is that I did not want to be the object of his possible annoyance or irritation. In other words, I did not want him to feel bad. And I did not want me to feel bad. We have words for this general behavior pattern of not wanting ourselves or other people to feel bad as a result of the interactions that we have ... have with other people. We talk about tact, which is defined in the Collins Concise Dictionary as 'the sense of what is fitting and considerate in dealing with others so as to avoid giving offence', or we might equally call this, as many people do, politeness behaviour. Now notice that the definition of tact talks about avoiding giving offence. It is not talking about something positive that we do in order to make people feel better than they otherwise would. So, here we are not talking about the kind of behaviour we get into when, for example, we console a friend whose cat has just been run over or compliment our partner on a very well-cooked meal. We are not trying here to positively make people feel better, but trying to avoid them feeling bad. So, this is a negative kind of behaviour that I'm talking about. But the fact that it's negative does not mean that it's not terribly important. It is extremely important. It is essential to our self-preservation and to social cohesion. And for this reason avoidance behaviour is of great interest to many different kinds of scholars.

A Lonely Job

Jane: Wherever have you been, Patrick? I have not seen you for months. Someone said you'd emigrated.

Patrick: Whoever told you that? I've been working on a weather research station on the Isle of Collett.

Jane: Where on earth is that?

Patrick: It's a lump of rock about 100 miles north-west of Ireland.

Jane: Whatever did you do to pass the time?

Patrick: Fortunately I had my university thesis to work on. If I had not had a pile of work to do, I'd have gone off my head.

Jane: Was there anything else to do?

Patrick: Well, if you were a bird watcher, it would be a paradise; but whenever I got tired of studying, I could only walk round the island - and that took me less than twenty minutes.

Jane: However did you stand it? If I'd been in your shoes I'd have taken the first boat back to civilization.

Patrick: Well, I needed some information for my research there, and they paid me, so I saved some money. Now I can have a short holiday before I start looking for a job.

Jane: Have you finished your PhD already? I thought you had another year to do.
Patrick: No, time flies, you know. As long as they do not reject my thesis, I'll be leaving for London next week.

Jane: If I were you, I'd go off to the Mediterranean or somewhere before starting work.

Patrick: No thanks, I'll stay in London. I've had enough of the sea for a while. This is the end of the listening comprehension part. You have 1 minute to complete your answer.
