Hi! Nice to see you again. You look great! Where did you get such a great tan? Did you go to the seaside? Where? The Crimea? Tlie Red Sea? Or the Mediterranean Sea? Oh, certainly not! That dark soft tan only can be from the coast of the Dead Sea! Did I guess it? Did you go there this summer? With parents? Friends? Was the hotel expensive? Did you like the food? And why...
■ Will you ever give me a chance to answer at least one of your questions? First can I at least say “Hello! It’s nice to see you again!”
Oh, come on! I don’t care about your good manners. Tell me about your holidays. I’m dying of curiosity.
Yeah, curiosity killed the cat.!. OK, but I’m really afraid to disappoint you. I didn’t go to any of those places,
■ Didn’t you? But you look so different. You’ve become taller ... and look so sporty... Where have you been the whole summer? I called you several times but you were never in.
■ That’s right. It wasn’t easy to catch me at home. I left very early, I bet you were sleeping like a log at that time.
Getting up early? On holiday? Oh, God, what for?
— It was worth it.
— Oh, stop it! Tell me everything: why you were getting up so early, where you went to and why you are showing off (рисоваться) like a Texas ranger now.
— Like 3 ranger? You’ve nearly answered your own question, I spent the whole summer with horses. My uncle works with horses on a farm, so he allowed me to help him,
— Do you mean that,..
— Yes, I took care of them — fed and groomed them and cleaned the stables (конюшня). It was hard work and I came home more dead than alive, but you can’t fancy what beautiful animals they are. One day they let me take them to the river. We had a swim together,
— Well, I never! Do you mean you enjoyed it? Enjoyed working instead of relaxing, watching videos and going to discos?
— Yes, I mean it. And though my classes have started. I’m not going to give it up. Г11 be going there at the weekend and one day a week after classes. The horses trust me and my uncle says that I can still help him and ride them,
— Working at the weekend! Don’t be silly! (long pause) Look here, if your uncle needs more help, can I come, too?
6 Answer the questions.
1 What does Jason look like after his summer holiday?
2 What did Jason do on holiday? What were his Job responsibilities?
3 Why did he work? For money or for fun? Give your reasons.
4 Did Julia work when she was on holiday? Why do you think so?
What do you think she was busy with?
5 How does Julia feel about Jason’s Job? Does she feel surprised?
Does she take him for a fool because he worked hard the whole summer?
6 What could Julia mean by saying “Look here, if your uncle needs more help, can I come, too?”
7 a) Listen and repeat the phrases from the dialogue. Try to copy the speaker’s intonation.

How to Be a Perfect Mate
If your mate is feeling a bit down, why don’t you cheer him / her up by inviting your friend to your place and having fun together?
If he t she is always there for you as a shoulder to cry on, make sure you do the same whenever he / she needs you.
If you see a picture of his / her favourite celebrity in a magazine, cut it out and keep it. It will show that you’ve been thinking about him / her.
Make sure you stick up for your mate if he / she is being bullied. Imagine how you’d feel if he / she didn’t stick up for you.
Don’t worry if you don’t like the same boys or girls, clothes, music, etc. It’s good to know someone who likes different things.
If you have a boyfriend / girlfriend and he / she hasn’t, don’t spend all your time speaking about him / her because it will make your friend feel uncomfortable.
If your mate tells you an important secret, make sure you keep it a secret!
63 Why do you think young people write this way? Choose any variant and give your reasons.
a) ...because they are lazy
b) ...because they are busy
c) ...because they are inventive
b) Read the tips again and say what a perfect mate should be like.

Is it easy to share a room?
A Last summer 1 was in a language school in Malta ['moilta]. f had won an English language competition and the prize was a two-week trip, [ enjoyed it greatly, but there was one thing that really spoilt my impression.
It was my roommate. She was a cute (симпатичная) girl but a real chatterbox. In the morning, when we got up, she used to talk about clothes and boys all the time. She kept talking about these same things during the breaks between our classes, and even in the evening I had no chance to escape from her "boys and clothes".
I'm not a bore and I'm certainly not a bookworm who is interested only in studying. I didn't feel jealous either, but her silly talking made me mad and even the sound of her voice seemed to me very annoying.

В I think sharing a room with a person your age is a great experience. You learn to live in the world of adults where you have to take care of yourself and have everything depend on you. Unlike your mum or dad, your roommate is not going to accept all your "nice and lovely" habits and support you in every situation. You have to earn his or her friendship and any good feelings he or she has for you. This means that you shouldn't do anything that hurts your roommate. The law of co-existence is very simple: you can do anything you like but not at other people's expense (за счет других). In other words, you can enjoy yourself as long as it doesn't hurt other people. Observe this law yourself, make your roommate do the same and everything will be all right.

с It is great fun to have a roommate. It means that you can do whatever you want and not only what your parents want you to do. My parents, for example, tell me day and night that 1 should keep my room tidy. I appreciate their care but Гт annoyed by all of the washing up and cleaning. I don't see what the trouble is if I keep some of my clothes out of the wardrobe and on the sofa or even under it. Our home is not a museum, so why make such a fuss about tidiness? I don't think teenagers care about that at all.

In a new way, the cartoon still proves the traditional fairy tale values: the cruel ruler of the country is punished and the princess prefers the ogre for his heart and kindness and wants to share his fate. No doubt that the voices of several famous actors added to the popularity of the animated film: the ogre has Mike Myers’ voice, the princess has Cameron Diaz’s voice, and one will easily recognise Eddie Murphy as soon as the talking donkey opens his mouth.

2 Read the text and do the tasks below.
When I was as old as my daughter is now, my parents were not happy with my behaviour. I argued with them, ignored their orders and didn’t appreciate their care. Now I see how wrong I was; they wished me only good. Now I have a teenage daughter myself, I think that the main thing with teenagers is not to overcontrol their lives and not to take care of them too much. It sounds strange, doesn’t it? But I mean that parents shouldn’t check if their children’s schoolbags have been packed or their school uniforms are clean and tidy. I never tell my daughter Sarah that she shouldn’t drop her school blazer in the corridor and or that she should go to bed on time. I accept that she can plan her day and can keep her school uniform wherever she likes; on the floor or under the bed or in her own schoolbag. But she should look tidy at school and shouldn’t make a fuss in the morning if she is late and her dress doesn’t look right.
I don’t support the idea of prohibiting something without a good reason. Last month Sarah declared that she was grown up enough to arrange home parties for her friends. I didn’t object to it but explained to Sarah that her responsibility was not only to make up the list of the guests but to manage the whole event: to arrange the time that fits the plans of the family, to think about snacks and drinks beforehand, to make up a scenario for the party and to find time to tidy up the flat before and after the party.
I asked her to make up a kind of a business plan for the event and if everything was OK, there was really no reason to prohibit it, was there?
Sarah put off the party several times. She did it, not because I didn’t let her invite the friends, but because she, herself, couldn’t prepare everything on time. She acted like a grown-up, not a naughty demanding child.
I’m sure that my tactic works with my daughter. She understands now why I don’t allow her certain things. She sees the reason behind it instead of a parent’s wish to treat her as a child. She often asks for my advice and appreciates it when I give it to her. In her turn, she tries to support me in difficult situations. She understands that it’s not easy to be adult and independent and to manage life as best as you can.

Latin words started to be used in the names of English places a very long time ago. The Latin word strata later developed into the English word street The Latin portus became the English port and is seen in the names of many English places: Southport, Portland, Portsmouth.
The oldest names of places in the USA, as you can guess, are American Indian. They are mostly the names of what people saw in nature: mountains, lakes, rivers and waterfalls. The name of America’s greatest river, the Mississippi, is made from two American Indian words: mist (great) and sipi (water). Like all ancient names, these American Indian names were passed on from father to son by word of mouth. They were not written down, only spoken. Europeans found the names very difficult to pronounce and so they said them in ways closer to their own languages. Even in their changed form, the unusual and poetic sounds of the American Indian words remain: Niagara, Chicago and others.
The Europeans who came to America renamed many of the mountains, lakes and rivers, and gave names to the new towns they built. We can easily tell where Europeans from different countries settled in America by looking at the original names. There are English names in the northeast and along the eastern coast, for example. New London. Portland, New Yort There are Dutch names in many districts oi New York City (Brooklyn, Harlem) and in other parts of New York State and Spanish names in Florida. There are lots of French names in the southern states and along the Mississippi. The oldest names imthe west -in the states of California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona — are Spanish.
All these names and many others are language monuments of the early days of American history when the first Europeans arrived in I *, the new world. They came as adventurers who ^ expected to find gold and riches, as conquerors who wanted to set up empires, or as people ready to go anywhere to escape from tyranny in the Old World.
33 Listen to the recording and follow it in the text (passages D and E). Find and read the names of places of:

Useful Tips for a First-Time Air Passenger
1 Get to the airport at least two hours before takeoff.
2 Go to the check-in desk. (Remember that you can also check in via the Internet and avoid the queues.)
3 At the check-in desk, your ticket is checked and your luggage is weighed and registered. If it is overweight, you will have to pay an excess baggage charge. (Different companies allow from 20 to 25 kilos.)
4 Then you have to go through customs where your bags can be opened and checked. You can keep hand luggage with you, but the heavy luggage is taken to the baggage cabin.
5 When the airport official makes sure that everything is all right with your ticket and with your luggage weight, you are given a boarding pass. The number of your seat is printed on it.
6 The next step is passport control where your passport is checked.
7 When everything is done, you go to the departure
lounge and wait till the number of your flight is announced. ,
8 Be careful not to miss the announcement of your flight and the number of the gate you should go to.
9 When you are at the right gate, the airport official checks your boarding pass and you are directed to the plane or taken by a special bus.

The Last Inch
(by James Aldridge, adapted)
It wasn't easy for Ben, a pilot of forty-three, to find a flying job. That's why it was a stroke of luck when he was offered a job by the Commercial Television Stock Company. They paid a thousand dollars for every five hundred feet of shark film. Ben used a light plane to get to a little desert island in the Red Sea where the water along the coast was always filled with good-sized sharks.
Ben took his ten-year-old son Davy with him. He was a shy quiet boy who had never been particularly loved by his parents.
While filming the sharks, Ben was attacked by a huge tiger shark. He was lucky to get out of the water, but his body was a bleeding mess. He couldn't feel his arms or his feet. He had lost a lot of blood and was in and out of consciousness. The boy had to either fly the plane or die from thirst and the hot sun on the island where nobody would ever find them.
Only once had Ben shown the boy how to fly a plane. He also explained that it was the last inch above the ground that mattered if the plane was going to crash while landing or not.
84
70 Now read the extract from the book. Complete the sentences after the text.
What finally awoke Ben was the engine coughing.
"Please wake up!" shouted Davy. "What's the matter?"
"Push the lever forward," whispered Ben.
Davy couldn't have known about the lever and now Ben wasn't able to point to it. But the boy saw the direction of his father's eyes in time and the engine took up again.
"What direction do I take?" Davy cried again.
"You're not telling me how to get the right direction."
"Follow the coast. Keep it on your right.
And for God's sake, don't do anything else. It'll be all right, Davy..." Ben could see the sharp profile of Davy's pale face with his dark eyes. The boy had remembered how to level off and to keep the speed. "He'll do it," Ben whispered to himself and then fainted again.
At three thousand feet, on his own, Davy did not think he could ever cry again. He had run out of tears. He had boasted only once in his ten years of life that his father was a pilot. He had remembered everything his father had told him about flying, but he had guessed a lot more that his father had not told him. Now Davy couldn't even look at his father because he was horribly covered in blood. He didn't want his father to die, but he knew that it was now a possibility. People did die. ______________
The tears that Davy thought had dried up in him were now in his dark eyes, and he felt them running down his cheeks.
Ben felt a sharp pain and opened his eyes. "Davy! What's happened? What are you doing!" he managed to shout.
"We are almost there. I can see the buildings of Cairo," Davy said. "But the plane doesn't want to go down."
"Cut your engine..."
"I did, but it doesn't seem to make a difference."
"Use the tail lever," Ben said, and the plane put its nose down into a dive.
"Cut your engine!" Ben shouted again. He knew that getting a plane off the ground and flying it was easy but getting it down was another thing. The wind was blowing them back up. They lost air speed now because the nose was up. If the engine stopped at this height in this wind, they'd crash into a thousand pieces. ...
They were approaching the airfield and the dust was like a yellow sea over the land. But then Ben saw the plane, "Look out! You'll hit that plane," Ben yelled.
Ben could see a big four-engined plane that was taking off. If it was only taking off and not testing its motors, they'd be all right. Ben closed his eyes and when he opened them again, the big plane was directly in their path but moving so quickly that they were going to miss it.
to be out of consciousness — быть без сознания lever ['li:v3] — рычаг to level the plane off —
выровнять высоту to faint — терять сознание
to take / get the plane off the ground — поднять самолет в воздух to put the plane down —
посадить самолет
85
Now the yellow dust was just below them, "Six inches," Ben cried to Davy painfully. "Six inches, Davy... Wait! Not yet! Not yet...!" he cried,
It was when they reached the last inch from the ground that Ben lost his nerve at last. He was trying to shout, "Now! Now! Now!" but fainted again. He hardly felt it when the plane's wheels hit the ground. When the plane's tail finally touched down, Ben knew it was the last inch of it. The plane moved uncontrollably for a while and when at last it stopped dead, he heard only silence and thought that it wasn't time to give in yet.
1 When Davy managed to take the plane off the ground,
a) he felt panic because he thought that his father was angry with him.
b) he felt panic because something was wrong with the engine and he didn't know what direction to take.
c) he felt happy because his father was pleased with him.
2 Davy was able to fly the plane
a) because he remembered everything his father had told him about it.
b) because his father helped him ail the time.
c) because he wasn’t afraid of flying,
3 The most dangerous stage of the flight was the landing
a) because it was stormy at the Cairo airport.
b) because getting a plane off the ground and flying it is easier than getting it back down.
c) because Davy felt tired and thirsty.

or disagree with the following sentences.

Hugo was the new man in the travel agency. He’d only been working there as an Assistant to the Manager for three months and he really enjoyed his job. Hugo was looking forward to the moment when he would become a manager so that he could work with customers by himself. The only problem with his job was that Hugo lived a long way from the office, so the way there and back took ages. He hated wasting time and fell into a new habit of reading on the train. He read travel magazines. The disadvantage seemed to turn into an advantage: Hugo read the latest news about tourist resorts, people’s experiences and analytical articles on tendencies and prospects in the tourist business. He accurately made notes on the most useful information. He thought that the knowledge could compensate for his own poor travel experience, and would eventually help his clients, too.
One day, a retired couple turned up in the office. "We are planning to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary in Alice Springs, Can you arrange a tour there for us?”
“Yes, sir, we certainly can,” the manager said promptly. “Sit down, please. My assistant, Hugo, will make coffee for you. Til enquire about the hotel and flight availability and calculate the total cost of the trip. It’ll take ten minutes."
“You are very efficient." the lady looked impressed. “Thank you. But could I have weak tea instead of coffee? I’ve got weak heart, coffee is poison for me.”
“Of course, no problem. Hugo, did you hear that?” and the manager focused on the calculation.
“Why do you want to go to Alice Springs?” Hugo asked the couple, serving their tea on the coffee table.
“It’s because of my wife,” the gentleman said. “Her name’s Alice, And she thinks that it will be romantic to go there for our anniversary."
“There’s one more reason.” the lady added. “Once I had a ring with a beautiful opal. It was lost, and I want to get another one like it. It was my mum’s, and I remember her saying that the ring had been delivered from Alice Springs. It’s somewhere in Australia, isn’t it?"
"It is,” Hugo nodded, “It’s in Central Australia.” He paused, and then added; "Tm sorry, it’s not certainly my business, but I’m not sure you should go there at this time of the year."
The customers raised their eyebrows.
“It’s a very hot place, actually. Day temperatures are in the high thirties, and often go far above forty. Taking into consideration the weak heart...”
The couple looked puzzled.
“But my ring?” the lady muttered at last,
“If you want to go to somewhere really unusual, consider New Zealand instead. It has milder temperatures and the views there are fantastic! 1 can show you photos of some hotels that provide very comfortable stays. And as for the ring,.., well, if you fly via Hong Kong, you can buy it right inside the airport. There’s a shop there that offers a very good choice of opals. I can give you the contacts if you want."
“Good job.” Hugo heard his boss’s voice while he was searching for the contacts of the Hong Kong shop in his notes. “I’ve been watching you talk with those people. You definitely care for the customers, and the agency’s image, too. You’ve deserved your promotion, Hugo. Start as a manager from tomorrow.”
“Thank you, sir,” Hugo looked up in surprise,
“But why didn’t you put that you’ve been travelling across Australia and Oceania in your CV, I wonder? We appreciate applicants with rich travel experience. I mean, those who can advise customers from their own experience are always needed."

79 Imagine that you are going to have a week-long trip. Form two groups.
The first group is arguing for a packaged tour. The second group would rather go on their own.
Read the suggested arguments. Add some of your own. Debate the best way to arrange your holiday. Choose someone to decide which group has more convincing arguments.
Group 1
Packaged Tour Tourists
The travel agency arranges everything for you.
They book and buy the plane or train ticket for you.
When you arrive, you are met at the airport or at the station by a representative of the travel agency.
A comfortable room in a hotel is already reserved for you.
You are offered a programme of excursions which is paid for in advance. A guide tells you about lots of interesting things while sightseeing. You don't have to worry about food, if you are not very lucky with the weather, there are plenty of indoor activities in the hotel.
There can be special low prices if it's not high season. ’
It's very comfortable and reliable.
\
Group 2
Tourists on Their Own
When travelling by yourself, you feel a sense of adventure.
When you arrive, you can choose any place you want to stay — not just a boring room in an average hotel.
If you don't feel like going on an excursion, you don't have to go. It hasn't been paid for anyway.
When you're in a new place, you can investigate it yourself. This is the only way to feel the real atmosphere and to understand what people are like there. You might prefer baked potatoes and a delicious fish soup to the dishes in a cafeteria.
On rainy days, the drops tapping on the roof of the tent sound very romantic.
It is the cheapest type of tourism but a very rewarding one.

102 Read the text about the British floral symbols and match the pictures with the parts of the text.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has four historic parts: England with its capital in London, Scotland with its capital in Edinburgh, Wales with its capital in Cardiff and Northern Ireland with its capital in Belfast. The floral symbol of England is the RED ROSE. Earlier, it decorated the arms of the House of Lancaster. The Lancastrians argued for the throne of England with the Yorkists whose arms had a white rose. The war for the throne between the Lancastrians and the Yorkists became known in the history of the country as the War of the Red and White Rose. It lasted 30 years (1455-1485). When the Lancastrians won the war, their arms of the Red Rose became the symbol of the whole England.
■>v.
The Scottish symbol is a wild plant called the THISTLE. At one point, the Scandinavians planned to attack a Scottish village. But since the Scots knew they were coming, they started to prepare for war. Late at night, the Scandinavians came in their bare feet so as to not awaken the Scottish warriors in the village. But the thorns of the thistle hurt their bare feet. Their howls of pain pierced the silence and the Scots awoke to fight the enemy.
; I Bd'iyir«iui lanie
The Welsh symbol is a vegetable called the LEEK (or, on occasion, the flower, the daffodil). The patron saint of Wales, David, ate only leeks and bread. In memory of this Christian saint, the leek became the symbol of Wales, Daffodils which burst into flames by the 1st of March celebrate the revered Welsh saint.
The Irish symbol is another wild plant called the SHAMROCK, This plant helped St Patrick explain to the people of his country what the Holy Trinity is. The historic colours of the parts are: England, WHITE, Scotland, BLUE, Wales, RED, Northern Ireland, GREEN. Sport teams of the nations wear these colours.

Cleopatra's Needle
There is an unusual monument in London.
It is in the centre of London on the bank of the Thames, not far from Trafalgar Square, and it is called Cleopatra's Needle. It is an obelisk made of red granite (гранит). Its height is 20.87 metres and it weighs about 187 tons.
The obelisk is covered with hieroglyphs (иероглифы) that tell us about the war victories of the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.
But how did the obelisk that has the name of a beautiful queen appear in London? Is it possible that Cleopatra herself ever visited the misty banks of the Thames?
The obelisk was cut from granite in Egypt in the 15th century BC. There were only several obelisks of that kind in Heliopolis. A thousand years later, two of them were transported to Alexandria. After a couple of centuries, one of the two fell in an earthquake. Much later, in 1819, the last one was given as a present to the British nation by Mahommed Ali, the ruler of Egypt. It was not easy to transport it from Egypt to England. A special metal container was made. The Needle was put into it and then taken aboard a ship. It was a dangerous and tragic voyage. Six sailors died, and the obelisk was nearly lost at sea. In spite of all the problems, it arrived in London and in 1879 was put on the pedestal near the Thames.
There is one more curious thing about the obelisk. Perhaps it could be called a present for archaeologists of the future because under the obelisk there are some objects from today's world. They can give unique information about our time. The scientists of the future will find Bibles in various languages, British Empire coins, a railway guide, daily newspapers, and twelve photographs of the most beautiful British women.

27 Read what a talk show host is saying about conflicts and find the answers to the following questions.
• What do people want to know about conflicts?
• Why do conflicts happen?
• What can different conflicts lead to?
Dear Friends,
(1) Many people ask questions about conflicts. They want to know why conflicts happen in a family. They want to know why political parties and states have conflicts. They ask me what they can do about conflicts. -
(2) Conflict is a natural thing in our life. Conflicts happen because people are different: they want different things, they have different ideas and their values are different. Very often people have conflicts because they do not listen to each other well. They think about what they want to say and don't really hear what the other persqn is saying.
(3) Conflicts may lead to fights, bad relations and violence. If conflicts happen between parties or states, they can lead to war. That is why people should try to prevent conflicts.
(4) But it is impossible to prevent all conflicts. Every day you are in contact with people whose values are different from yours. And you have the right to disagree with their values. But you should understand that other people also have the right to be different from you.
You must respect the right of other people to have ideas that differ from your ideas. People who respect each other's ideas can resolve conflicts in a peaceful way. If people resolve conflicts peacefully, they will have better relations in the future. That is why many people want to learn about conflict resolution.

Where’s Papa going with that ax?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
“Out to the hoghouse," replied Mrs Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
“I don’t see why he needs an ax,” continued Fern, who was only eight.
“Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt. It’s very small and weak, and it will never amount to anything- So your father has decided to do away with it.”
“Do away with it?” shouted Fern. “You mean кШ it? Just because it’s smaller than the others?” “Don’t yell, Fern!” Mrs Arable said. “Your father is right. The pig would probably die anyway.”
Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled of springtime. Fern’s sneakers were sopping by the time she caught up with her
father. “Please don’t kill it!” she sobbed. “It’s unfair.” Mr Arable stopped walking.
“Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself”
“Control myself?” yelled Fern. “This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself” Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand.
“Fern,” said Mr Arable, “1 know more about raising pigs than you do. A weakling makes trouble. Now run along!”
“But it’s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small, could it? If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?” Mr Arable smiled. “Certainly not,” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But
116
this is different. A little girl is one thing, a little runty pig is another.”
“I see no difference,” replied Fern, still hanging on to the ax. “This is the most terrible case of injustice I ever heard of.”
A queer look came over John Arable’s face. He seemed almost ready to cry himself “All right,” he said. “You go back to the house and I will bring the runt when I come in. ru let you start it on a bottle, like a baby. Then you’ll see what trouble a pig can be.” When Mr Arable returned to the house half an hour later, he carried a carton under his arm. Fern was upstairs changing her sneakers. The kitchen table was set for breakfast, and the room smelled of coffee, bacon, damp plaster, and wood smoke from the stove,
“Put it on her chair!” said Mrs Arable. Mr Arable set the carton down at Fern’s place. Then he walked to the sink and washed his hands and dried them on the roller towel.
Fern came slowly down the stairs. Her eyes were red from crying. As she approached her
chair, the carton wobbled, and there was a scratching noise. Fern looked at her father. Then she lifted the lid of the carton. There, inside, looking up at her, was the newborn pig. It was a white one. The morning light shone through its ears, turning them pink.
“He’s yours,” said Mr Arable. “Saved from an untimely death. And may the good Lord forgive me for this foolishness.”
Fern couldn’t take her eyes off the tiny pig. “Oh,” she whispered, “Oh, look at him! He’s absolutely perfect.”

3 Do such conflicts often happen in families?
Chris: Hey, Tom, give me the remote control
(пульт дистанционного управления)! Quick!
Tom: No! I can’t! Rambo 3 begins in a minute!
Chris: Just let me switch to the World Cup,
OK? I want to see the game. Give me the remote! Now!
Mother: Are you boys fighting again? Chris, let your brother watch TV. You are 15, and he is only 7.

Compare:
— Я попросил его (велел ему, посоветовал ему) сделать это,
— Я хотел, чтобы он это сделал,
— Я ожидал (полагал), что он это сделает.
The infinitive is used without to after the verbs make and let
I made him do it.— Я заставил его сделать это.
I let him use my mobile phone.—
Я разрешил ему воспользоваться моим мобильным телефоном.

56 Read the editor’s letter to the mother’s question that was published in the magazine. Did the editor say who was right: the boys’ father or the boys’ mother? Why or why not?
Dear Ann,
Of course you want your sons to live in peace. But I don’t think parents can help their children resolve conflicts by deciding what their children should do. Let them resolve their conflicts by themselves... with your help.
Tell your sons about the five steps they can take to resolve a conflict.
A
They are:
1 Decide what the problem is.
2 Let everyone suggest an idea about how to solve the problem.
3 Together discuss what will happen with each idea.
4 Choose the best idea.
5 Put the idea into action.
The five steps may work better if the parents take part in the discussion.
I hope that the next time your sons have a conflict, they will know better how to resolve it.
If you need to discuss the steps further, please make an appointment to visit my office.
Sincerely yours, 'Нли.к.^ Editor

105 Read the text. Say what is the most important thing to prevent war?
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights appeared soon after World War II. People in many countries suffered greatly in that war. They hoped that war would never happen again. They hoped that the declaration would help to prevent future wars. But since that time, there has not been a time on our planet without war.
To prevent war, people should understar\d that every person has the right to liberty, justice and equality.
People should really respect the rights of other people. In other words, they should be tolerant of other cultures, religions, ideas and values that differ from theirs. This is how we can build peace in the world.
Building peace begins with your family, your school and your relationships with your friends. Every day you meet people whose thoughts and ideas are different from your own. You should leam to respect the opinions and values that are different from yours. You should learn to be tolerant. But remember that you have the right to disagree with values different from your own.

I’ll do my best to catch up with the class, Mrs Carter, I promise,
I feel that you haven’t been working hard lately. Something is distracting you from studying. What is it, may I ask?
Well, actually, you are right. Mrs Carter, We, three other girls and I, formed a band three months ago. We’ve been rehearsing like mad since then. We play pop and rock music and we are going to take part in the town music contest next month. When we win, I promise I’ll get back to the lessons. Look, Kelly. Since you’ve always been a bright student, I can tolerate this outrageous situation for two more weeks. But I’m not going to put up with anything like this in the future, OK?
Thank you for understanding, Mrs Carter.
What are you rehearsing for the contest, by the way?
Oh, we’ll be singing two songs we’ve written ourselves, and a remake of the old hit “Kansas City”.

117a) Read the text and say how people suffer from wars.
Wars have been happening between nations long before people started writing down their history. In the 20th century Europeans suffered from two world wars, which involved many countries even in the other parts of the world. Hundreds of towns and cities were destroyed,
A large number of people including children were killed or wounded during those wars. In the Soviet Union only, the number of victims of the Second World War exceeded twenty million people. That is about 40 per cent of all people killed during the War.
Young Europeans should be positive in their decision to prevent wars in future.
b) You and your classmates are now going to do a project. The project title is “War and Conflict in Modern History”. Each student is supposed to write a page about war in one of the countries listed in Ex. 115. Read through the list and decide which country you would like to write about.

• What country would you like to write about?
• Where is this country situated? (Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America)
• Where are you going to find information about the conflict? (the library, the Internet, a teacher of history and social studies, other)
119 Report on what you have learnt to the class.
Example: Sveta would like to write about Spain. This country is situated in Europe. (But she isn’t exactly sure of where this country is in Europe.) She is going to find some information on the Internet (in the library) or ask her history teacher. (She isn’t sure of where to find the information.)
120 Decide which country each student in the class is going to write about.

When did the conflict start?
Was the conflict settled, or is it still going on? If settled, how long did it last?
Was / Is the conflict violent?
What kind of conflict was / is it: political? economic? ethnic? religious?
In your opinion, was it possible to prevent the conflict?
If the conflict is not settled, do you think it can be solved by peaceful means? If so, what can be done to resolve the conflict?
— to observe human rights, to give people freedom
— to ask the UN to discuss the problem
— to organise meetings in support of the people

3 Have you seen movies that have a lot of violence? Do you enjoy such films? Why or why not?
4 What are online shooting games?
5 Do you play shooters?
126 Read the text. Answer the following
questions^
• What shocking fact does military science reveal (обнаруживает)?
• What facts do social studies in this country reveal?
• What do these facts mean?
SOCIETY IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE VIOLENT
Military science reveals a shocking fact about young Americans. In World War II, only 20% of soldiers were willing to fire their rifles (ружья). In the Korean War, 50% of soldiers were willing to shoot an enemy while, in the Vietnam War, 90% of soldiers were willing to kill.
Social studies in this country (в нашей стране) have shown that in the late nineties, more than 40% of young people were willing to have a gun.
These facts show that modern society is becoming more and more violent. Why? Some people think that violence on TV and in movies, plus point-and-shoot video games, make young people more violent today.

144 а) Arrange the boxes in the right order to make up a story on tolerance.
0 ^ ■ I paid for some doughnuts the cafe was famous for and sat down at the table, I was looking
through the window and thinking about a recent argument with Carol, She was really angry
with me, saying that 1 was the worst person to be out with as I always bullied somebody, got
into fights, and always managed to hurt someone’s feelings or worse, “She’s right,” I said to
myself, “1 don’t care much about others. But I do care for Carol and 1 don’t want to hurt her
feelings. That’s why I'll try to be nice, polite, and tolerant of people. Carol says a lot of these
clever words as she is going to be a Journalist. She has got a lot of ideas on human rights,
tolerance and equality, peace making and preventing conflicts. If she ever manages to put all
her ideas into action, the world would be better I bet,"
©
It was a dull winter afternoon. I was waiting for‘Carol, but she was hopelessly late. The weather didn’t encourage a long walk, so 1 dropped into a little cafd. Though it was practically empty, the only table, from which 1 could see the bus stop where Carol would appear, was occupied. A tall fellow of approximately my age was sitting there reading a pocket-size book. Can I take this seat?
— Yeah, sure.— The fellow glanced at me and went on reading.
Td just finished the last cake when the waitress put a plate full of hot doughnuts and a cocktail in front of me. “I’m so sorry,” she said. “I kept you waiting a long time. Have this cocktail for free and thank you for your patience and understanding.”
©
Absorbed in my thoughts, I hadn’t noticed when the waitress brought me my doughnuts, A plate of them, hot and steaming, was already on the table and ...the fellow in front of me was already tasting one of them. He didn’t even stop reading. An absent-minded bookworm... At any other time, I wouldn’t have forgiven a person who was asking for trouble. But Td promised to be nice to people. So I pretended I hadn’t seen anything and took a doughnut for myself. The fellow glanced at me with surprise and took another one.
Well, that beats everything! My fist was about to start its journey towards his chewing mouth when I remembered Carol’s words: “Sometimes people behave in a way you don’t like because they have some reason for it,” OK, he may be hungry and can’t afford to buy them. But he might have at least asked!
©
Boiling inside, but with my face cool, I kept eating my doughnuts. The tall fellow with the stony face was doing the same. He’d forgotten about his book and tried to eat as fast as possible. His eyes were full of anger and despair. My look was tough and concentrated: “I have promised to avoid conflicts and 1 won’t give in.”
It was he who tost the game. Muttering something and calling me names, he rushed out of the cafe.
b) Read the story again and suggest your moral to the story.

145 Read the advice from these young people. Say what each of them advises.
Use: ...advises that we should... because...
Example: Nancy advises that we should give each person a chance to speak because what each person says is important. She advises that we should listen without interrupting.
Nancy: What each person says is important. Give each person a chance to speak.
And listen to people without interrupting.
Bruce: If you have done something wrong, admit your mistake. Say: “I was wrong.
I am sorry.” In this way, you show respect for other people and self-respect. William: Never call people names. Name-calling hurts. It also makes other people form stereotypes.
Sharon: If you want to say something that may hurt a person’s feelings, first tell the person what you appreciate about him / her and then what you don’t like.

Start Smiling Now
The United Nations was founded to bring peace, human rights and solidarity to people of the world. Now the organisation includes 185 Member States and its aim is to prevent discrimination, armed conflicts and terrorism. To achieve it, the UN is publishing books that encourage people to resolve racial, religious or territorial conflicts without using arms. One of these books is called Peace Museums Worldwide. Most of the peace museums that exist in the world appeared after World War II. *'
According to the authors of the book, peace museums can be of two kinds. Some of them concentrate on the past. They demonstrate historical events, such as wars, violence and terrorism. For example, if you visit the museums in Hiroshima and Nagasaki (founded in 1955), you will see pictures of the nuclear bombing in Japan in 1945. The aim of these museums is to prevent a tragedy like this in the future.
There are also museums that aim to educate people about peace. They organise different art exhibitions, as art helps people of different nations and nationalities understand each other. One of the most famous museums of this kind is the International Museum of Peace and Solidarity in Samarkand, its collection includes over 20,000 examples from more than 100 countries of the world, including drawings, paintings, flags, books, stamps and records.
The museum is proud of its wonderful collection of photographs, letters and articles, many signed by peacemakers from ail the continents of the world.
In recent years, the Museum of Peace and Solidarity has organised exhibitions of children's artwork from many countries both within the museum and in other museums internationally. Many of these children suffered disease, violence and crime in wartime conditions.
Every year the museum holds a special Children's Peace Festival. The slogan of the festival is: "War is not a game. Why play with military toys? Peace starts with me." At the festival, children are invited to exchange their military toys for peaceful, non-violent and educational toys. Children who have no military toys can bring along a poem or a drawing and exchange it for a creative game, a pencil, a ball and so on.
The museum has got another wonderful collection: a worldwide collection of smiles. The smiles have come and are still coming in all different forms, including photographs, paintings, drawings, computer graphics, poems and jokes. The museum is planning to open a special Hall of Smiles. So start smiling now! Come on, today... right now.

It’s safer to make friends with people who are most like you. It’s easier to be friends if you have common interests and share the same values. Any diversity can cause conflicts and destroy your relationship.

Friends can have different interests and values and not have conflicts between them. Conflicts happen not because people are different but because they don’t listen to each other.

Do English students and students of our country have the same opportunities when they graduate from school?

10 Read the dialogue and write down all the opportunities that Sue gives to Carol, Consult the Linguistic and Cultural Guide in Appendix 5, page 201 for the words in bold. Which of the opportunities are most suitable for Russian students and which are not? Give your reasons.
Sue; Hi, Carol. What are you up to after school today? Would you like to go for coffee?
Carol: OK, Sue. That would be lovely.
1 need a friendly ear.
Sue: Great. Г11 see you in the coffee shop at
half past three.
(Later in the coffee shop)
Sue; What’s up Carol? You look a bit
confused. Is there something wrong with your coffee?
Carol: Oh, no, the coffee is lovely... I am just thinking about what to do after my GCSEs. I don’t know if I should I do my ‘A’ Levels?
Sue: Have you thought about your options?
You know like university?
Or do you want to get a job that would train you?
Carol: Oh, I don’t know. I need to get high
grades in my ‘A’ Levels to go to a good university and 1 also don’t think my family can afford the fees (плату). My parents really need me to contribute to the family income (доход).
Sue: OK. Well, what I would do is go to
a sixth form college and do your very best in your ‘A’ Levels, Then your good results can get you to university when you are ready,
Carol: Yes, I shouldn’t waste my time at school just because I need to go to work. My results do matter. They will help me get a good job and, like you say, I can use them at a later date.
Sue: Some companies even help you
study. They may want you to do certain courses for your position so you can develop and get a promotion. Or they may be flexible so that you can study one day a week or do evening courses.
Carol: Thanks Sue. You have given me
some good ideas and have made me feel a bit more focused.
Sue: That’s OK, Carol. I mean, even if
your job doesn’t offer any training or opportunities for you to study and work, at least you will get good experience. Hopefully, you will be able to save up some money so that you could then go to university. Time off from education may make you think about what you really want to study. And if worst comes to worst and you really don’t enjoy your work and want to get back to studying, you could always get a student loan that you pay back later.
Carol: You know so much Sue, I knew it would be good to speak to you. You always keep an open mind and are always so positive.
Sue; You’re welcome! Phone me anytime you need a chat.

Match the questions with the adverts. Consult the Linguistic and Cultural Guide in Appendix 5, page 201 for the following:
vocational courses school sixth form sixth form colleges an apprenticeship the GCSEs
What shall I do after my GCSE examinations?
Questions
1 Should 1 stay on at school sixth form? 3 What about a further education college?
2 What about sixth form college?
4 What if I want to go straight into work?
©
If you want to specialise in more vocational courses, this may be a good option for you. Unlike school sixth form and sixth form colleges, you will get courses which are more closely linked to the needs of industry, professional companies or universities. As part of the application process, you may be asked to attend an interview. This is a great chance to ask questions about your chosen course and whether it's the best option for you.
School sixth form will let you continue learning in familiar place with teachers that you already know, plus there’ll be lots of your friends there already. Think about the subjects you’ve enjoyed studying and which ones will give you the best results, particularly if you are thinking about university.
©
Then perhaps an apprenticeship would be right for you. This gives you the opportunity to start earning whilst learning the skills you need for your chosen career. Apprenticeships are available in a wide range of occupations, such as accountancy, hairdressing, construction, plumbing and retail and are currently available for 16 to 24-year-olds.
Students from different schools can continue their education here. These are often larger than school sixth forms and can therefore sometimes offer a wider range of options to help prepare you for university or employment. Ask what’s available
1 5 Think of jobs you are interested in or that might be suitable for you.
Would you like to work with people, with PCs {personal computers), with animals? List as many jobs as you can think of and report them to the class.

Julian: What to do after the GCSEs...
Having been a fan of detective and courtroom dramas on TV, 1 was keen to learn more and had an ambition to become a lawyer. After my GCSEs, I didn't know which way to turn but 1 suppose 1 really wanted to find out if I was suited to this profession.
To begin with, 1 left school after my GCSEs to look for work in a law firm, i put my CV together, made lots of copies and posted them to as many law firms as 1 could find. I knew that all I could do was basic office duties, such as what an office junior or a runner would do, but at least I would be getting experience and finding out if I liked this working environment. I managed to get an interview and was accepted as an office junior at a law firm only a 15-minute bus ride from my home.
I loved it. I was seeing for real how cases were being solved, how evidence was gathered... the whole process. I learnt it was very hard work but the rewards were worth it. 1 could see that this job offered me all the traditional job requirements; job satisfaction, career possibilities, good working conditions and stability. This assured me that I wanted to go into this profession.
1 went back to school to do my 'A' Levels. 1 was still able to keep a relationship with the law firm that I had been working for. They were encouraging me to study and they also offered me work during my school holiday. I completed my A' Levels, went on to university and got my degree in law.
Now I am a successful lawyer in the same firm I worked for at 16 years old.
I was lucky to know at an early age what 1 wanted as a career. It is only through experience that you find out what you really enjoy and are able to do well.

Gary: What to do after the GCSEs...
I always wanted to work, I had dreams of earning my own money and I had ambitions. So after my GCSEs, I left school. I didn't think about a higher education. All I wanted was to go out into the world, feel independent and start working.
One of the valuable lessons I learned at school was how to write a CV. I dug up some examples from my old text books and compiled my CV. 1 must have given out about 20 copies to local supermarkets, coffee shops, offices, restaurants, bars, building companies, garden centres and clothing shops. *
After two weeks of waiting, I got a positive reply and so my first job was filing documents as an office junior. 1 had to sort all of their files and keep them in alphabetical order. OK, so I learnt the alphabet and lots of new names, but after two weeks, I was starting to get headaches. And I was not getting any job satisfaction.
Next I got a part-time job in a coffee shop. I used to come home with burnt fingers nearly every day! Then I stocked the shelves with food products in a supermarket. My working hours were 10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. That didn't last long. 1 must have had ten jobs in one year but I didn't fit in. I had fun but that was about all. I needed some help... or some direction. I spoke to my parents and they asked me to think about what I wanted from a job. We decided to write down a list of jobs I thought might be most suitable for me and see which best fit the traditional requirements: job satisfaction, good working conditions, stability and career possibilities. Then I rewrote my CV with all my experience and started looking for a job again. Three weeks passed and nothing came up. This was hard on me.
Then my dad offered me a job to help him out at his bakery. He was getting very busy and needed some extra help. When I started out, I was the night baker. 1 had to get there by 4 a.m. I learnt quickly about the different types of bread and cakes. I got used to the hours and ! realised I was enjoying the job. I was producing food for our local community, meeting new people, making friends and feeling useful. Now that's job satisfaction!
1 am now the manager of our shop, so my dad is able to rest a bit. I feel proud to be continuing in the family business. Just think that this bakery was started by my greatgrandfather and it's been selling bread in our town for over 100 years!
As you can see, it took me a while to find and understand what I really wanted for a career. For some people, choosing a career is the easiest choice they ever make.
My sister knew that she wanted to be a dancer at the age of six.

Section 2
I Why Are Stereotypes Harmful?
30 Discuss these questions with your classmates. The words and phrases in the box can help you. Add your own ideas. Start like this:
If you are a boy, what do you think about girls? If you are a girl, what do you think about boys?
Boys / Girls are...
Boys / Girls always / never / often / seldom. Boys / Girls can / may...
support each other
be helpful
aggressive
weak
strong
helpless
more tolerant than...
appreciate friendship / advice
ignore
betray
care for
envy
feel jealous (of)
hurt
cheat
do without be fair / unfair
31 Read the text to learn about stereotypes. Find out what a stereotype is.
Very often we have an opinion about a person simply because that person belongs to a certain group of people: young or old, men or women, Americans or Chinese. Such opinions are called stereotypes. If you have a stereotype, you think that all people in a group think, act and look the same. But this is not true. In every group, people are different. If we have stereotypes, we may treat people unfairly. For example, tha young girl in the story “The Rose Pin” did not want to meet her great-grandmother because she had
a stereotype about old people. But after she knew her great-grandmother better, the girl changed her opinion.
If you do not like or do not trust somebody because of a stereotype, you have a prejudice against that person (or group of people). People have prejudice because of religion, race, ability, age, gender or anything about a person that makes him / her different (appearance, dress, class in society). Prejudice is dangerous because it leads to discrimination.
32 Note the words in bold in Ex. 31. Match the words with their deBnitions.
stereotype treating a person or a group worse than others
discrimination a firm idea about what a particular type of person or thing is like but which is often not true in reality
prejudice dislike or distrust
165
33 Compare what the two people have said. Which of these are stereotypes and which are facts?
“A” said: “B” said:
Men are the stronger sex. Women talk to express their feelings and to support their friends. Women are good at cleaning, cooking and sewing. Women often cry. Traditionally, men support their families. Women don’t usually have many friends. The best place for a woman is at home. In some ways, women are stronger. They live longer than men. Men prefer to discuss fishing, sports and other activities. Many men are famous as great cooks or tailors. Women show less stress than men. Many women now support their families. Men like meeting and talking with lots of friends. A woman’s role is very strong in modern society.

166
36 а) Read the text and find out if your list contains some of the facts mentioned.
Many stereotypes are about the differences between men and women. To put an end to a stereotype, we must be able to recognise it and to think about it. Is an opinion fair or unfair?
Men and women have a lot in common. But they are also different. Men and women can prevent many conflicts if they learn to respect these differences.
Men and women are different. They talk and think in different ways. For example, men and women even use the Internet in different ways. Men like to “hunt” for information. Women like to browse and “gather”. Women are more likely to join online communication, often with other women.
Men and women’s differences begin when they are boys and girls. Boys like to play in large groups and there is usually a leader in the group who gives orders. Boys want
to have a high position in the group and this position is important to them.
On the other hand, girls like to play in small groups. A girl’s best friend is important to her. Girls don’t like to give orders and they don’t usually have a leader. They prefer to have equal positions.
Boys like to do things together. But when girls meet each other, they like to talk. When boys and girls grow up, nothing changes. Men like to do things together or talk about activities {e.g. sports) or things and events {e.g, cars, politics). For women, people and feelings are important. They often talk to express sympathy and love and not just to say facts.
Because of these differences, men and women sometimes do not understand each other and often have conflicts. They might understand each other better if they know about the differences in how they communicate.
b) Read through the text again and answer the following questions.
1 What is important for girls / boys?
2 How do women and men work with information?
3 What do women / girls and men / boys talk about?

42 Read the text and answer the following questions.
We should be very careful about the words we use to describe certain groups of people. People in civilised countries are taught never to use words that show disrespect toward women, people with disabilities) older people and minorities. These groups of people have been hurt by stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination. That is why it is important to avoid language and behaviour that may hurt such people. The language and behaviour which shows respect toward people is called "political correctness".
What is political correctness? Why is it important?
43 Look at the pictures from the US media. What are these people like? Choose one of the words in each pair to describe these people.
Strong - weak happy - unhappy friendly - unfriendly good-looking - ugly energetic - helpless
169
44 Read quickly through the text and say which part of it is about:
I) ethnic groups; 2) elderly people; 3) people with disabilities.
STEREOTYPES AND COMMUNICATION
a) Today in the United States, mass media never shows old people as weak or helpless. Old people in the US are called "senior citizens". In this way, Americans show respect for the long life people have lived. It is an honour to be a citizen of a great country, and the word "senior" means "high in rank and status" Senior citizens are called the "generation at the top". The age of retirement is sometimes called the "golden age"
Old people are as different as young people in their talents, skills and abilities. Nowadays, after people retire, they remain active. They often work and they help their children and grandchildren. They travel and do sport. They can give young people good advice and tell them exciting stories.
b) Another group hurt by stereotypes are people with disabilities. Many cannot do certain things, including seeing, hearing or walking. But these people have other abilities and talents. Johann Sebastian Bach, Albert Einstein and Agatha Christie were all people with disabilities. But they could still do great things.
In the US, people are taught to avoid words that may hurt people with disabilities. Here is some advice you might hear in the United States.
First, use words that focus on the person's individuality, not his / her disability. Instead of "the disabled", say "people with disabilities". Don't say "the deaf", say "people who are deaf". Second, never use words that show pity or fear of people with disabilities, and never use the word "normal" in contrast. Never use the words "victim" or "sufferer" to name a person who has a disability or disease.
For example, instead of saying "a victim of AIDS" or "an AIDS sufferer", say "a person with AIDS".
c) In the US, you have to be very careful about the words you use to speak about minorities (ethnic groups). You will be accused of discrimination if you show disrespect toward different groups. Making ethnic jokes is very hurtful to people and shows politically incorrect behaviour.
You will be accused of racism if you use the improper term for people who have black skin. The US no longer uses the word "Negro" like in the old days. The term "Negro" does not refer to a person's country of origin so it is not politically correct. Most black people in the US now prefer the term "African American".

2) people with disabilities; 3) ethnic groups. Then do the following programmes.
Study how older people are represented in newspapers, on television programs and in books. Are they shown as strong and happy or weak and helpless? Ask an elderly person (a grandparent, a neighbour, etc) if he i she has ever been hurt by stereotypes. Decide what can be done to show more respect toward elderly people.
Find out if any services are available for people with disabilities in your city. Think about the words that are used to describe people who cannot see, hear, speak or walk. Do you think that people can be respected or disrespected because of their nationality? Suggest how to avoid conflicts between people belonging to different ethnic groups.

Student 3: It’s more dangerous than parachuting.
Student 4: When jumpers are falling down, they make different figures in the sky and it looks beautiful.

■ travel twice a year, it is a "must”; otherv^ise. I’ll feel unfit both for my work and for my studies. The thing is that, for three years, I’ve been a member of a diving club and every season we get together at a new place. We arrange these trips to escape from everyday problems and to get into the beautiful and calm underwater world. We have already done some diving in the Red Sea, on the coast of South Africa and in the dark, cold and clean waters of Lake Baikal. Nothing can compare to the excitement you feel while exploring deep underwater caves without knowing what kind of wonder or danger you might face there. There are people of all different nationalities in our club. I feel like I can call them close and reliable friends in spite of the fact that we see each other only during our trips. We don’t have any communication problems even though not everybody speaks English fluently. We work as a team. It’s not the words but the care, help, and support that are essential for survival. Yes, it can be dangerous sometimes, and I’m often asked why I take the risk. I don’t really know, but I'm going to keep on doing it.

62 Read the rest of the interview between Dave and Tom. Then find the words and word combinations that describe BASE jumping as a dangerous sport. Do you think Tom is tolerant of the people around him? Use phrases from the text.
Dave: The sport you are doing now... it’s called BASE jumping, isn’t it? What kind of sport is it? And how did it get the name BASE?
Tom; It’s the most extreme of the extreme
sports. It’s like skydiving but no planes or helicopters are used. People jump from buildings, antennas, bridges (or spans) and cliffs (high parts of the Earth). This is why it’s called BASE. Its name is made from the first letters of Building, Antenna, Span and Earth.
Dave: It seems awfully dangerous to me.
Tom: It’s obvious that the chance of injury is very high. Some jumpers say that it is as high as 90% and a bad injury or death is just a matter of time. Sometimes it happens that the parachute opens too late or doesn’t open at all, or the jumper miscalculates the speed of the wind or fails to notice something that can make the jump fatal.
Dave: It’s a very risky activity. Do you intend to quit it?
Tom: No, the feeling I get during the jump means too much to me.
Dave: Are there many excited fans who are watching you when you are jumping?
Tom: If we jump from some cliffs
somewhere in the countryside, only my mates are there. But when we jump from buildings and antennas, there are a lot of people watching us. There ha(^e been some jumps from Nelson Column and St Paul’s Cathedral. Can you imagine that?!
Dave: Tom, I’ve got one last question. Do you realise that BASE jumping in cities can be a life-threatening activity not only for you but for people around you? The fact is that you can cause serious traffic accidents or other dangers. People can get injured. They haven’t chosen to do this sport but they still can suffer the consequences. It’s really not fair.
Tom: Well, I have to admit that I’ve never thought about it that way before...
63 Read the dialogue again and find the
phrases which have a similar meaning.
1 It can happen and it does happen very often that people who do extreme sports get injured.

Hairstyles are also the subject of creative talent. Any colour is allowed.
Eccentricity has always been an aspect of the British character. The older generation is sometimes surprised and puzzled.

The Music for AU Ages
(by James Clarke) *
The Beatles changed the style of popular music in an unbelievable way and caused a new musical phenomenon in the Sixties. Their music was fresh and original. It has stuck with generations of people and is still an influence on pop and rock bands to this day.
They became a worldwide sensation. They wrote about day-to-day subjects, mainly love, which everyone could relate to. They touched the hearts of millions of people with songs such as "Hey Jude”, "Love me do”, "Help” and "Michelle”. Their songs were simple and catchy but also very technically composed with strong classical influences.
The Beatles were also the first "Boy Band” who was very well-presented, dressed in suits and good-looking, which made them very attractive to ladies of all nationalities.
They also wrote songs about world issues, such as living in peace, which the different generations of the time were able to relate to and still do to this day. Their songs were trying to encourage people to look on the bright side of life.

• the “Pessimists” who feel negative about everything and speak only about problems
• the “Optimists” who look on the bright side and are able to see the advantages in every situation. Even when something is really wrong, they try to find a way out, give some good advice and cheer up the Pessimists,
80 Tick all the items that you consider
valuable to you personally. Explain why. Add
some more points if something is missing.

3 Read the dialogue. Then mark the sentences as true (T) or false (F).
A: Hi, Ben! How were your exams?
B: Nice of you to ask about them. Everything’s all right. Thanks.
A: Is it? You look worried. Is there anything wrong?
B: No, everything’s all right, but when we were waiting for the results of the exam, we spoke about our future and our career plans. You know, I was the only one who hadn’t decided yet.
A: Well, let’s try to find out what kind of job could be suitable for you. I’ve got a special test that might give us the answer. All you need to do is to answer some questions. The first one is: “Would you like to work in an office or be out and about during working hours?”
B: It depends... But no, I think I would rather work inside. It could be difficult to be outside if the weather is bad. But I want to have the opportunity to be out in good weather, too.
A: Are good working conditions, job
satisfaction and stability important to you?
B; Yes. I want my job to be exciting but not very stressful. Stability is very important to me, too. But I don’t want to work at the weekend or in summer.
A: And how about job satisfaction?
What does that mean to you?
B: To me, job satisfaction isn’t just a quick promotion or good money, I want to feel useful.
A: Would you prefer working with machines or with people?
B: When I was little, I enjoyed taking things apart to see how they worked. But now communicating with people is much more important to me. I want to work with nice and friendly people.
A: OK. That’s enough. Let’s have a look at the test results. Well, there is a long list of jobs which meet your requirements. And the job of babysitter is at the top of the list.
B: Babysitter?! I have never thought about babysitting, but I don’t mind working with children. I'm very good at sports and the job of a coach has a lot of advantages. I’ll definitely try to learn more about it.

(Ex. 27-28) The Pirates’ Old Map and instructions HOW TO PLAY
1 The counters (фишки) of all the players are at number 1 — at the point where the journey starts. Throw the dice in turn and move your counter according to the number of points scored. You should keep to the yellow road with numbers. Read and follow the instructions when you are at the blue, grey and red circles.
4 While going along the coastline, you notice an octopus ['oktapas] below the surface of the water. He explains to you how to get to the opposite side of the river without a bridge. This information saves you four steps.
10 A cunning and curious monkey sitting in the tree knows how to get from this place to the palm wood more quickly. You should leave the road and climb to the top of the mountain. If you get through the bushes, you’ll find a secret road nobody knows about. You realize that иЦ not safe to rely on a monkey’s word but take this risky chance and get to circle A.
C Moving in the direction to the top of the mountain is very difficult. You feel tired, hungry and thirsty. You can’t help eating some bananas that have fallen down from the palm tree. Miss a turn.
D This mountain road is good only for monkeys. When you are at the top of it you fall and roll down the mountain to circle 9.
F You come across a colony of parrots. There is one very talkative parrot among them. It is saying something about pirates and treasures. You stop to listen to it. Miss a turn.
13 You notice a cave (пещера) in the rock. Somebody may live there. There is a boat outside the cave. It helps you get to the opposite side of the river more quickly.
14 You’ve taken a boat to get across the river. But it’s not good to take somebody’s boat without permission, especially when you don’t know how to operate it. The boat doesn’t do what you want it to do. You float down the river and only the bridge can stop the boat. Wet and unhappy, you are at circle 7 again.
18 You see a snake. It is moving busily towards the large round stones.
Fortunately, it doesn’t care about you; it wants to have a nap on the warm stones. But it looks rather poisonous and it’s wise to wait till it passes.
Miss a turn.
20 You are a good jumper and jumping over the cactuses makes you move much faster. You are at circle 22 already.
23 You are in front of Robinson’s house. As the saying goes, “curiosity killed the cat”, and you can’t pass the house without going inside. There is a hedge [hecfe] round the house. You climb over it and go inside the house. Miss a turn to investigate it.
26 You see a tiger sleeping on a broken tree above the road. The big cat doesn’t see you yet and you rush back to Robinson’s house. You wait there in the hope that the cat will leave. Miss a turn.
29 You are finally at the place you’ve been looking for! There is a big stone between two old palms. The treasure is deep in the earth, just under the stone. Suddenly you find out that you’ve forgotten your spade (лопата) on the ship. You have to start all over again from circle 1.
30 You are the winner! Congratulations! Get the treasure out of the box.

(Ex. 96-98) The flags of Russia, the UK and the USA
Flag
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The Flag of the United Kingdom is called the Union Flag or THE UNION JACK.
In 1603, King James 1 of England (or Jack for short) united England and Scotland, Then in 1801, there was the union with Ireland. Now the flag combines the emblems of the three countries (England, Scotland and Northern Ireland) united under one monarch. Wales is not represented in the flag because at the time the flag appeared in 1606, Wales was already united with England.
The Union Jack is a combination of the crosses of three patron saints of the country:
• the red cross of Saint GEORGE for England on a white background;
• the white diagonal cross of Saint ANDREW for Scotland on a blue background;
■ the red diagonal cross of Saint PATRICK for Ireland on a white background.
The United States of America
The American flag is known as THE STARS AND STRIPES. It consists of fifty stars which represent the fifty states. Thirteen red and white horizontal stripes (seven red and six white) stand for the original thirteen States that were united in 1776.
The first flag was called The Grand Union Flag, It combined the flag of Great Britain with the thirteen stripes. It showed that these first thirteen states were British colonies. After the War of Independence, all thirteen states became free and the flag changed. The British flag in the corner was replaced by stars. Every time a new state entered the Union, a star was added.
So now today’s flag shows the thirteen stripes for the original number of states in 1776 plus the 50 stars which represent today’s total.
The Russian Federation
The Russian flag is sometimes called the IMPERIAL FLAG, It consists of three equal stripes of white, blue and red. The first flag of this design appeared more than 300 years ago. Peter the Great adapted the flag from the National flag of the Netherlands. Later a black two-headed eagle on a golden background was added to the flag of Russia. The flag existed until фе revolution in 1917. In the nineties, with the democratic changes, the three-colour flag was restored again. On 21 August 1991, the flag was officially adopted by the Russian President and the Russian Parliament.
In Russia the colours of the current flag symbolise:
' white — frankness and generosity;
' blue — honesty and wisdom;
■ red — courage and love.

Appendix 1 Additional Information for Unit 2
(Ex. 99, 100) The State Emblems of Russia, the UK and the USA
Emblem
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The State Emblem of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland shows the union of its four parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The emblem was introduced after the union with Scotland in 1603. The shield of the emblem is divided into four parts. There are emblems of England (three lions on a red background), emblem of Scotland (a red lion on a yellow background) and the emblem of Northern Ireland (a yellow harp (арфа) on a blue background).
The two emblems of English lions symbolise the leading role of England in this union. The SHIELD is supported by two mythic animals: the ENGLISH LION and the SCOTTISH UNICORN. The emblem is headed with a crowned lion, the symbol of power and might. Below the emblem, there are floral symbols of the four parts of the country.
The United States of America
The symbol of the country is the BALD-HEADED EAGLE with its wings spread on a white background.
The first Americans chose the eagle as the emblem to symbolise their power. The bald eagle owes its name to the early American colonists.
It actually isn’t really bald at all but white-headed. This bird lives only in the USA and Canada. In 1782, Congress selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the newly formed union to show the courage and might of the nation.
The Russian Federation
The Russian National Emblem is the golden DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE with a horseman (St George) on a shield on the eagle’s breast with a red background. Above the two heads of the eagle, there is an historical crown.
The first emblem of the double-headed eagle was introduced in 1480, by Prince Ivan III. It was at the time of the establishment of the Russian state system. It symbolised the supreme power and sovereignty of the state.
Since then, the double-headed eagle is the main part of the emblem of our country. But now the crown is a symbol of the sovereignty both of the Russian Federation (as a whole) and of its parts (subjects of the Federation),

How to deal with True / False / Not stated tasks
1 Skim through the text to understand what it is about. Do not pay attention to details, ignore unfamiliar words.
2 Read True / False / Not stated statements attentively. Make sure you understand them.
3 Scan the text for the sentences which you expect to contain the information you need. Read those sentences attentively, paying attention to sentence structure, linking words and other details,
4 Remember that you should mark the statement
• as True only if the information in the text confirms it
• as False only if the information in the text denies it
• as Not stated — if you cannot find enough information in the text to make either of the choices above. Neither your personal opinion nor common knowledge count there.
5 When all the statements are marked, read the text again to make sure that
a) the logic of the text goes with your answers;
b) you haven’t missed any information and the Not stated statements are marked correctly
Tips for doing Internet research
In the Internet you’ll be able to find much more information than you need.
You should be able to make choices about what to read and how best use it.

2 Make a list of the keywords you already know on the subject.
Example: teenager, rights.
3 Check the source of the information. It should be reliable and up-to-date.
