“A lot of time.  My husband always forgets to take off his boots.”

“And how much time do you spend cleaning the sofa and the armchairs?”

“A  lot of time. The dog always sits on them,” she replied.

Henry smiled at the farmer’s wife and said,

“ Madam, this is your lucky day. I am going to show you something that will change your life.”

Henry showed her his vacuum cleaner and said, “You can clean the house in minutes with this machine.”

The farmer’s wife didn’t look interested. Henry took out a big bag. It was full of dirt and very small pieces of paper. He opened the bag and threw the dirt and paper over the floor and carpets of the farmhouse. The farmer’s wife was very surprised. Before she could speak, Henry said, “Madam, if this machine does not pick up all the dirt and paper, I will eat the dirt and paper.”

Task 2      Multiple matching

You are going to read extracts  from a newspaper. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-I for each part of the article (1-8). There is one extra heading that you do not need to use.

There is an example at the beginning (0).

1. My First Jeans

4. Death of a clone
5. Greek word tetra or four
6. Original Authors of Tetris
7. Teenagers & sportswear and play clothes
8. The Gold Rush
9. The Story of Jeans.

The first jeans were made in 1873 in California

 by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis.

Levi was a German who came to San Francisco during the Gold Rush.

He was a successful businessman. He sold a lot of things that gold miners needed.

Among other things gold miners needed strong clothes for their work.

At first miners’ work pants were made of canvas.

But the miners complained that the pants were uncomfortable. Later denim was used.

This material felt comfortable, it was strong, practical and perfect for work clothes.

“Jean” was a material made in Europe .It got its name from sailors in Genoa, Italy because their clothes were made from it. Before the 1960 jeans were called overalls. The name “jeans’ was given to them by teenagers who turned jeans into sportswear and play clothes.

The name Tetris come from the Greek word tetra or four. Tetris is a computer puzzle game in which various shapes each made of four squares fall down a well.

When the well fills up the game ends.

Tetris first appeared in Russia around 1985 and was never patented.

The original authors of Tetris were Alexey Pazhitnov, Dmitry Pavlovsky and Vadim Gerasimov.

Computer engineers A. Pazhitnov and D. Pavlovsky worked together at the Computer Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences. A. Pazhitnov had already published and sold several psychology based games. D. Pavlovsky had written several computer games by that time.

High school student V. Gerasimov who was only sixteen at the time, had just written a programme for MS DOS when he joined the group.

It was A. Pazhitnov who first designed the Tetris game.

A. Pazhitnov and Henk Rogers later founded the Tetris Company.

On Friday February 14, 2003 Dolly the sheep died. Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. She was created by the Roslin Institute, a research centre in Scotland. Dolly became internationally famous in 1997 when she was shown to the public seven months after her birth. It was considered one of the most significant scientific achievements of the decade. But many people believed that it was unethical to clone a living being. Dolly became a symbol of the promise, or threat, of cloning.

During her six years of life, Dolly suffered from different health problems. When she was young she was overweight. She had arthritis at the age of five, a fact that suggested she was getting old very quickly. Before she died, scientists discovered that Dolly had a lung disease. They took the decision to put her down. She was six years old. Many normal sheep live to twelve years of age.

Dolly had four baby sheep before she died. All four of them are still in good health. Dolly will be stuffed and put on display in the National Museum of Scotland.

SOME FACTS ABOUT NOVOSIBIRSK

Novosibirsk, the largest Siberian city, arose on the crossroads of two great routes — the Ob waterway and the Trans-Siberian railway. This was the site A22 for a railway bridge across the Ob river by an outstanding Russian engineer and writer Garin-Mikhailovsky. A settlement that sprang up here in 1893 during the years of construction developed into a small town, named Novonikolayevsk. In 1925 the town was A23 - --------------Novosibirsk.

In 1993 Novosibirsk celebrated its hundredth anniversary, and there are not many cities in the world that grow up as rapidly as our city. Today it covers an area of 480 square kms, and is the third largest city in Russia after Moscow and St.Petersburg. The birth of its millionth citizen was celebrated in 1965. It now has A24 -a----------of over 1,500,000.

Novosibirsk is a major industrial, cultural, trade, scientific and educational A25 _-------_in Siberia. Dozens of factories and plants have been built to produce heavy machine-tools, powerful generators, TV-sets and radio-parts, farm machinery, various apparatus, etc.

„Complex" is the best word to describe the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1956 academicians M. Lavrentyev, S. Sobolev, A. Trofimuk and other leading scientists readily responded to set up in Siberia foreposts of modern science. Soon construction was begun some 25 A26 ---------from Novosibirsk, in the pinewood and birch coppices spreading along the shore of the man-made Ob sea. This was a daring A27 _--------------_____. Never before had people of science moved so quickly to developing regions. Siberia assigns to the scientists so many tasks, opens so many new vistas that only a complex of researches in many fields can cope with them. Between 1958 and 1968 the Siberian branch developed many large subdivisions with research centres of their own. They extended research centers in Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, Ulan-Ude, Yakutsk and Vladivostok, Sakhalin, Chukotka, and Kamchatka. The Academic Centre in Novosibirsk studies a wider range of problems. Twenty institutes have been A28 _-------- here, including a computer center, specialised design offices, a university, a botanic garden, and a large technical library.

PART 3                                WRITING

Task 1/5.            This is part of a letter from your English-speaking pen-friend.

  … I’ve never been really slim, so when I started school I was worried about PE. We did badminton and volleyball, which were OK, but I still felt uncomfortable. At first I didn’t like putting on my sports kit in front of the other girls in the changing room, but after a few weeks it was OK.

Then we started gymnastics. I really hated it and my teacher, Miss Bell, made me worse.

Last week one by one my classmates jumped over the horse. Then it was my turn. It was really high and I was scared. I couldn’t move. Miss Bell laughed at me and joked, “Hurry up, Fatty!” It was terrible. I ran out of the gym. My face was red and I was crying. I don’t know what to do about PE now.

Write back soon.

  Love,

Joanna

Reading

Forms 7-8

1. Read the text and number paragraphs A-E in the correct order.

The teenager who changed world history

1. Franz Ferdinand was the direct cause of the First World War, which started the same year, and which resulted in the deaths of nine million soldiers. The war ended in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles, which was very unfavourable to Germany. This, in turn, resulted in Germany going to war again in 1939, a war in which approximately 60,000,000 people around the world lost their lives.
2. For example, do you know who Gavrilo Princip was? Probably not. He was a Serb, born in Bosnia in 1894 and was one of nine children, six of whom died when they were very young. Gavrilo's health was also very bad and he suffered from tuberculosis. He studied in Belgrade where he spent most of his time with nationalists who wanted a union between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia. He died when he was just 24 years old.
3. The Second World War ended with the Treaty of Yalta in 1945 which led to the division of Eastern Europe, which eventually led to the conflict in Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Possibly no other person has had so much impact on world history over the last century than the sickly teenager, Gavrilo Princip.
4. History tells us about famous leaders, Kings and Queens, but what about the great changes which have been caused by one small act carried out by a relatively unknown person?
5. So why is he so important? Well, Gavrilo Princip is the boy who, at the age of 19, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914. Franz Ferdinand was going to be the next Austro-Hungarian emperor and the nationalists wanted their country to be independent from the empire. After shooting and killing the Archduke in his car, Gavrilo was captured by the police and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. But he died in prison of tuberculosis in 1918.

2. Read the text and choose the best possible answer to the questions given below 

In the 1400s, merchants and traders from Europe travelled long distances to the east by land and by sea. They exchanged, bought, and sold things to people in Asia. Merchants from Italy, Spain, and Portugal travelled to Asia to buy such things as jewels, gold, tea, and silk. They also bought salt and spices that were necessary to preserve food. The trade route back and forth to Asia by land was very long and difficult. On the sea, ships had to travel all the way around Africa. It was a long and dangerous trip.

An Italian sea captain and mapmaker named Christopher Columbus believed that there was an easier way to travel to Asia from Europe. In the 1400s, many people believed that the world was flat! They believed that ships would fall off the earth if they travelled too far west. Columbus believed that he could travel west across the Atlantic Ocean and arrive in Asia. He believed the world was round. Many people laughed at Columbus, but the queen of Spain believed Columbus was correct. She gave him money, ships, and men. He went to look for a faster trade route to Asia.

In 1492, Columbus travelled across the Atlantic Ocean with three ships. After about 30 days, he reached a land. He thought he had arrived in India. In fact, he had really found Islands of North America. Columbus showed the world's people that the Earth was not flat! He opened up a «New World» for exploration, for trade, and for settlement.

When Columbus reached the islands of North America, he thought he was in India. He called the people on island Indians. Of course, they were not Indians.

They were Native Americans whose ancestors had migrated from Asia thousands of years ago. Millions of Native Americans lived in the Americas. They lived in many beautiful cities in over 2,000 separate and advanced societies. Many of these societies were attacked and totally destroyed by the Spanish and Portuguese who came after Columbus in the 1500s. These explorers came to find gold and other riches. They came to take new land for their countries. They killed the Native Americans, stole their women, their gold, their land, and their possessions. These explorers became rich and powerful. Spain and Portugal controlled all of the people and land in what are now the southern and western parts of the United States and all of Mexico, Central America, and South America. France and England also controlled land in North America.

Inexcusable Mistake

One day a young gentleman accompanied by1 his man-servant entered a jeweller's2 shop in Royal Street in London. The gentleman wore his right arm in a sling3. He began to examine a couple of rings to the value of one thousand pounds. He wanted to pay for the rings at once, but realized that he had left his wallet4 at home.

«Peter», he said to his servant, «take the car, drive back home and tell my wife to send me the money at once».

He asked the jeweller for a sheet of paper to write a note to his wife. But as he started writing, he couldn't manage to do it because it was too painful for him.

«Would you kindly help me»? he asked the jeweller. «I can't write it myself».

Jeweller agreed to help. At the dictation of the gentleman he wrote: “Please send me a thousand pounds via bearer5. Your husband George».

«You don't say so»! exclaimed the jeweller. «My name is George, too». «Oh», replied the gentleman, «Glad to hear that». He gave a letter to his servant and stayed at the shop to wait for the money.

They waited for a long time. At last the gentleman said: «I must go home and see what has happened. Keep the rings please, tomorrow I'll buy them».

When jeweller came home in the evening, he told his wife about strange incident in his shop.

«I can't understand one thing», told his wife. «Why did you send home for a thousand pounds»? And she showed him a note. The jeweller recognized his own handwriting and fainted6.

Once a philosopher was travelling down the river in a small boat. While he 1________(cross) the river he asked the boatman: ' 2____you ever______(hear) about Philosophy?' 'No,' said the boatman. 'I have never heard about it. What 3______(be) it?' 'I am sorry for you, indeed,' replied the learned man, 'you 4____(lose) a quarter of your life as it's a very interesting science!' Several minutes later the philosopher asked the boatman another question: '5________ you________(hear) about Astronomy, when you were at school?' 'No, I 6_______ (leave) school many years ago and I 7______(forget) all about it,' was the answer. To this the philosopher answered that he was really sorry for the man, and he 8______(think) that the boatman had lost a second quarter of his life.

Some minutes passed and the passenger again 9        (wonder) if the man ever had heard about Algebra. And the man 10        (have to) admit that he 19 _____ never_________(know) anything about it. 'In that case you certainly 11_________(lose) a third quarter of your life!' said the scientist.

At that moment the boat 21struck on a big stone. The boatman jumped and cried: '12_______you ever         (learn) to swim?' 'No,' was the answer. The boatman explained sadly to the philosopher that he 13_____(be) sure the scientist had lost his whole life as the boat 14_____(sink).

Archimedes

Little is known for sure about the Greek physicist and mathematician, Archimedes. He was born in 287 ВС and he died in 212 ВС. He lived in Syracuse in Sicily. Yet the story of how he (1)         his greatest discovery (2)______known for over 2000 years. The story goes like this.

King Hieron II of Syracuse asked Archimedes to find out (3)_________a goldsmith had told him the truth or not. The goldsmith (4)_________make a pure gold crown for the king but the king suspected that he had in fact used (5)__________of gold and silver.

Archimedes knew that a mixture would take up more space than the same weight of pure gold because silver is less dense than gold. But how could he possibly measure (6)_____________ of the crown? He found the answer when he was getting into his bath and slopped some water over the edge. He realized that anything put

into a tub of water would displace exactly its own volume. All he needed to do was to compare the level of water in his bath (7)_________ and after he put

(8)        in. He was so excited by this idea that he ran naked through the streets of Syracuse crying 'Eureka!' (9)        means 'I have found it!'

He went home and did the test. The crown displaced more water than a block of gold with (10)        weight. This proved that the goldsmith (11)________tried to cheat the king.

Who was Robin Hood?

Stories and rhymes about a band of robbers led by a man called Robin Hood have been popular for over 600 years. Five hundred years ago, a man called Wynken de Worde collected the rhymes together and printed a book about Robin Hood's life. Since then, thousands of other books have been based on the rhymes — as well as television programmes, films and computer games.

The Robin Hood stories were certainly very popular with King Henry VIII, who ruled England at the start of the 16th century. Henry was a child when the stories first appeared in print, but they fascinated him for the rest of his life. 21……………………………..  

After all this time it is hard to tell how the stories began. Some people think that Robin Hood is a fictional character; others think he really lived, and they argue about which part of England he was from. 22………………………. The idea that they were stealingfrom rich folk to give to the poor has saved them from being branded as villains. They certainly chose their victims carefully, sparing the poorand picking on those who were wealthy and proud.

            23………………………..A porter is someone who has to do fetching and carrying work, and the idea fits in badly with all the other stories about his life and character. Enthusiasts prefer to believe that he spent the whole of his life in the woods. They say that most of the stories about him are perfectly true − but not this particular episode. 24.....................................

InNovember 1324, Hood received his final payment: ‘five shillings because he could no longer work’. 26…………………………..If so, Robin Hood was a genuine outlaw who lived in the reign of Edward II. His career of crime was apparently brought to a sudden end when he was captured and made to work as a servant 27…………………………

A         Historians have tried to check the facts by looking for clues in all sorts of places.

В         All these things have spread his fame throughout the world.

С         One story says that Hood was captured and made to work as a porter at the court of King Edward II.

D         According to the stories, Robin Hood and his men were thieves who pounced on wealthytravellers in lonely woods.

E         They prefer the idea of a Robin Hood who was free and defiant from birth until death.

G         We cannot be sure that this is the famous Robin Hood but it seems very likely.

H         As a man he sometimes wore Robin Hood costumes for dances and May Day celebrations.

Politeness Strategies. (Items28-35)
