ПЕРЕДМОВА
Успішне складання таких важливих віпробувань для випускників, як
зовнішнє незалежне оцінювання і державна підсумкова атестація, залежить від
якісної підготовки з англійської мови. Навчальий посібник «Англійська мова» із
серії «Готуємося до ЗНО за 100 днів», що виходить у двох частинах (10 та 11
класи), призначений для повторення і систематизації знань, отриманих
упродовж вивчення шкільного курсу.
Згідно з рішенням Міністерства освіти і науки, молоді та спорту України
контроль навчальних досягнень учнів з іноземних мов проводиться за двома
компетенціями — читанням і письмом.
Посібник включає передмову, основну частину, практичну підготовку
(тести), ключі до тестових і контрольних завдань.
Основна частина складається з таких розділів:
1. Навчання іншомовного матеріалу
SECTION I. GRAMMAR.
SECTION II. VOCABULARY.
2. Навчання іншомовного спілкування
SECTION III. READING AND WRITING.
РОЗДІЛ «НАВЧАННЯ ІНШОМОВНОГО МАТЕРІАЛУ» передбачає фор-
мування у старшокласників основних навичок писемного спілкування та вклю-
чення їх до складу мовленнєвих умінь. Метою навчання граматичного матеріалу
є оволодіння репродуктивними навичками письма і рецептивними навичками
читання. Відпрацювання лексико-граматичного матеріалу відбува-ється в
умовнокомунікативних вправах та вправах на переклад.
РОЗДІЛ «НАВЧАННЯ ІНШОМОВНОГО СПІЛКУВАННЯ» присвячений
навчанню читання та письма. Згідно з програмовими вимогами, контроль
засвоєння шкільного матеріалу здійснюється у форматі тестів, зміст, форма та
структура яких орієнтовані на міжнародні тести типу FCE (First Certificate in
English), TOEFL та ін. У розділі надаються методичні рекомендації, які
ознайомлюють учнів не тільки зі структурою, змістом тестів та формами
тестових завдань, але й детально роз'яснюють послідовність кроків, необхідних
для успішного виконання кожного їх виду.
Усі тексти, на яких побудовані тестові завдання, відібрані з автентичних
джерел (газет, журналів, брошур, інтерв'ю, англомовних Інтернет-сайтів).
Посібник укладено в повній відповідності до вимог Програми ЗНО-2012 з
іноземніх мов Міністерства освіти і науки, молоді та спорту України та
загальноєвропейських рекометдацій із мовної освіти.
Отже, шановні старшокласники, беріться за роботу і пам'тайте стародавню
мудрість. На питання учнів як досягти успіху, Арістотель відповів:
«Наздоганяти тих, хто попереду, і не чекати тих, хто позаду».
УСПІХІВ ВАМ!

UNIT 2. ARTICLE (АРТИКЛЬ)
Артикль — це службове слово, яке вживається з іменниками.
В англійській мові є три артиклі: означений (the), неозначений (а/аn) та нульовий.
Вживання артикля залежить від типу іменника і контексту.
Щоб вибрати необхідний артикль, слід визначити:
1) чи називає іменник предмет взагалі (не виділяючи його з однорідних
предметів), чи він указує на конкретний предмет.
Наприклад:
I bought a book yesterday (книжку, а не зошит).
The book I bought yesterday is really interesting (саме та книжка, яку я купив);

IS IT TRUE THAT ELEPHANTS NEVER FORGET? The saying "an elephant never forgets" first (1) ............ in print in 1904, when the
New York Times reported a speech given by a trainer at the Ringling Brothers Circus.
In the 1950s the German zoologist Bernhard Rensch investigated the relationship
between brain (2) ......... and intelligence. During his studies he experimented with a five-
year-old Indian elephant. He (3) .......... the animal with two boxes: an empty one bearing
the symbol of a circle on the lid, and one containing food marked by a cross. After more
than 300 attempts the elephant (4) .......... twigged and thereafter consistently chose the
box that contained the food. Rensch introduced further pairs of boxes marked with
symbols, and the elephant was able to learn twenty different pairs and locate the food
correctly nearly 600 (5) ........... in a row. In 1964 Leslie Squier taught three elephants to

Elephants travel long (9) ............ to find food and water, and being able to remember
favorable locations is vital for survival. This was highlighted in a 1993 study of three
groups of elephants in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park during a severe drought. Two

Jack is very unhappy. He is writing to his sister.

Dear Maria,
Thank you for your letter. You asked me about my weekend. Frankly speaking, it
wasn't the best one in my life. Sunday morning was the day after the fancy-dress
party. I woke up late and wasn't feeling very well. I went to the kitchen and found out
that the hot water tap was dripping. The drain was blocked and the radiator was
leaking. When I came into the dining room I saw that there were stains on the carpet,
it was ruined! I wanted to open the window, but I couldn't. It was stuck. The lock
hasn't been fixed. There was something wrong with the light switch. I called my friend
and asked him for help. What happened next...
Sorry, I have to go. I'll write to you soon. Remember me to our friends.
With love, Jack
ЗАПАМ'ЯТАЙ! Fix is more informal than mend or repair.

A. Дебора мешкає у власному будинку, який розташований у затишному місці
на тихій вулиці. Біля дому — чудовий сад. У домі багато кімнат: простора
вітальня, зручна столова, величезна, сучасно об-ладнена кухня, гарна спальня.
Під будинком — великий гараж. Дебора хоче купити новий «мерседес».
B. Мені дуже подобається вітальня Дебори. Посередині на підлозі —
величезний зелений килим. У кімнаті шовкові штори. Праворуч — камін. Поряд
із каміном стоїть диван із подушками. Біля дивану — лампа, стіл для кави, на
ньому — ваза з квітами. Ліворуч — книжна шафа, телевізор, крісло. На стіні —
красивий годинник.
C. Спальня в Дебори невелика, але дуже гарна. Ліжко біля стіни. На ньому —
рожеві покривало, простирадло та подушки. Біля ліжка — туалетний столик. У
спальні — велике вікно. Вікно закривають штори з рожевим візерунком.
D. Ванна кімната в Дебори невелика, але зручна. Зліва біля стіни — ванна з
душем. Справа — умивальник. Біля нього на вішалці висить рушник. На стіні —
дзеркало. Над умивальником — полиця. На полиці — шампунь, зубна паста,
мило, щітка для волосся. Праворуч від умивальника — унітаз.
E. У Дебори сучасна кухня. На кухні є холодильник, плита, посудомийна та
пральна машини. Праворуч — раковина, над нею — кран. На стіні — шафи.
Дебора не любить прибирати. На столі у неї — каструлі, сковорідки. Я не міг
знайти чистих ножів, виделок, ложок, чашок і тарілок. Чи є в неї серветки?
96
F. Я запитав Дебору: «А хто миє посуд, готує їжу, витирає пил, пере, прасує у
твоєму домі? Ти хоч інколи працюєш у саду? Взагалі чи є в тебе пилосос,
праска, швабра та відро?» Дебора відчинила шафу та показала мені голку,
плоскогубці, молоток, цвях, ножиці, кілька шурупів. «А ще в мене є драбина та
ліхтарик», — сказала вона.
G. Коли вчора я прийшов до Дебори, то був шокований. У кухні з крана
крапала холодна вода, а батарея протікала. У вітальні килим був зіпсований
плямами. У кімнаті було душно. Я хотів відчинити вікно, але його заклинило.
Щось трапилося з вимикачем. Я не міг увімкнути світло. Я хотів покликати
електрика, але замок не відчинявся. Тільки Дебора була в чудовому настрої і
збиралася на вечірку.

on Sunday. My dad, on the other hand, is really unfit. He spends all day in front of the
TV — he gets out of breath if he has to get up to answer the phone! My sister's a
swimming instructor. As you can imagine, she's as fit as a fiddle, but my brother, who
used to play rugby every weekend, has let himself get really out of condition — he
must have put on twenty kilos in the last two years. Finally, there's my grand-dad.
He's nearly eighty but he's got loads of energy. He plays golf three times a week and
jogs round the park.
FIT AND HEALTHY NOT FIT

EXERCISE 9.
Match these lifestyle problems with the pieces of advice below.
THE PROBLEMS
1.
My hair always feels lifeless and oily. If I wash it in the
morning, I need to wash it again when I come home from
work. And I can't get rid of the spots on my face.
2.
If I buy a new pair of trousers, they don't fit me after a
couple of months. So now I buy all my trousers one size too
big. That way they last twice as long.
3.
I get really breathless if I have to go upstairs nowadays.
I used to be able to run up the stairs. Now I have to stop
halfway up and have a rest.
4.
When I come home from work, the first thing I do every
evening is pour myself a large gin and tonic. It's the only
way I can relax.
THE ADVICE
A You are simply eating too much. If you are putting weight on so quickly, you
must simply eat less and eat more healthily. Try cutting out all sugar and butter
immediately, then start cutting out other things, like cream. Change to semi-
skimmed milk.
B You're smoking too much. At the moment you are breathless. What will you do
when the doctor tells you it's cancer?
C Look carefully at your diet. Are you eating too many oily foods, like chips or
potato crisps?
D You'd be far better playing squash or tennis after work. That would help you
relax far better. You need less stress in your life.

1. SCHOOL
EXERCISE 1.
Read the text below.
For questions (1-5) choose the correct answer (A, B or C).
SCHOOLS IN THE USA
School usually means the same in American English as in British English, but
sometimes it can also mean 'university'. If a parent says 'I work during the mornings
when the children are at school', it means that the children are young and are probably
at elementary school. But 'My youngest son is always at school now' almost certainly
means that he has started university in another city.
Many Americans send their children to a nursery school, or to day care or pre-
school at an early age. At 5 children go to kindergarten. As in Britain US schools are
divided into primary and secondary, but these words are rarely used. It is more
common to talk about elementary school, junior high school and high school and the
grade, or year group, students are in. Elementary schools teach children from
kindergarten till the end of sixth grade. Grades seven and eight are taken at junior high
school, and the ninth to the twelfth grades at high school.
1. In American English "school" is a .................... .
A secondary school
B university
С secondary school + university
2. As a rule "to be always at school" means .................... .
A to go to university
B to spend a lot of time at school
С not to miss classes
3. Before five children .................... .
A go to kindergarten
B attend a day care school
С stay at home

THE ROOTS OF ENGLISH
English began as a West Germanic language which was brought to England by
the Saxons around 617. Old English was the spoken and written language of England
between 400 and 1100 AD. Many words used today come from old English, including
man, woman, king, mother, give and wash, as do many slang expressions and swear
words. But Old English was very different from modern English and only a few words
can be easily recognized. In the 9th and 10th centuries, when Vikings invaded
England, Old Norse words, e.g. sky, take and get and many place names, enter the
language. From the "Norman Conquest" (1066) until the late 12th century English was
replaced as the official language by Norman French, though English was still used by
the lower classes. English from about 1300 to 1500 is known as Middle English. It
was influenced by French and also Latin in vocabulary and pronunciation. French
brought many words connected with government, e.g. sovereign, royal, court, legal,
and government itself. Latin was the language of religion and learning and gave to
English words such as minister, angel, master, school and grammar. Literature began
again to be written in English.

THE MONKEY'S PAW
You can make three wishes. You can ask for three things in the world, and your wishes
will come true. 'But this cannot happen in the modern world!' you say. Well, think about it.
What can you ask for? What do you want?
When you make your wish, that is only the beginning. When you change one thing, then
you change everything in the world. One change makes another. And who knows where the
changes will end? The White family in this story can make three wishes. But they make one
small mistake. Their first wish comes true, then suddenly, their life is like a terrible dream.
W.W. Jacobs (1863—1943) was a writer of short stories. The Monkey's Paw is probably
his most famous story.
VOODOO ISLAND
Haiti is an island where people do not always die — they only sleep. Voodoo san bring
dead people back to life. Voodoo can speak to the spirits of all things, alive or dead.
Voodoo is the magic of Haiti. There are still people, today, who use voodoo magic to speak
to the dead. Or perhaps you don't believe in magic... ?
This is a story about the fight between the old world and the new world. James Conway
wants to bring the new world to Haiti. He wants to build new houses, shops, and hotels.
Most of all, he wants to make money. Kee is an old man who understands and loves the old
world. Kee has very little money; he is not an 'important' person in the new world. But Kee
understands people. Kee understands. James Conway better than James Conway
understands himself. And Kee understands voodoo.
Michael Duckworth, the author of this story, is an experienced teacher and writer. He
lives and works near Oxford.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Do you believe in ghosts? Of course not. We like to talk about ghosts, and to tell stories
about them, but we don't really believe in them ... Do we?
In the Paris Opera House in 1880, strange things are happening. One of the dancers sees
a shadow in a dark passage. It comes through a wall in front of her, and its face has no eyes.
One of the stage workers sees a man in a black evening coat, but he has the head of a dead
man, with a yellow face and no nose. People hear a voice in another room, but the room is
empty. It is the Phantom of the Opera ...
The first story about the Phantom of the Opera was written by a Frenchman, Gaston
Leroux, in 1911. His book was very popular, and in 1925 it was made into an American
silent film, with the great Lon Chaney as the Phantom. Since then, there have been many
other films and plays, including the famous British musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Jennifer Bassett, the author of this story about the Phantom, is an experienced teacher
and writer. She lives and works in Devonshire.

Gustave Mahler hated to wake up early. He enjoyed working at night and sleeping
during the day. One day Mahler received a notice to appear in court as a witness at
7:00 am. On the day of his court appearance, he overslept. The same thing happened a
second time. Mahler got a third notice. But this time it said if he didn't appear, he
would be thrown in jail for contempt of court. A friend of Mahler's decided to help
him. He came to Mahler's apartment and managed to get the composer dressed and
ready in time for court. As Mahler stepped outside early in the morning, he looked
around and was amazed to see crowds of people up and around. He turned to his
friend and asked in amazement, "Do all these people need to appear in court?"

FIVE TIPS FOR BACKPACKING 1 ....................
This may seem fundamental to most but I, like many others, set off on my first
backpacking Europe trip with just a one way ticket. When the money ran out sooner than
expected it was a major hassle getting back home. Make sure you have a (preferably
open dated) return ticket with you.
2 ....................
Do some research and have an outline of your backpacking trip and possible places to
stay (hostels are the best for meeting up with other backpackers and like-minded
travellers) but aim to go with the flow and don't pre plan your trip too much. Don't try to
pack in too many places. Backpacking Europe does not mean you have to visit every
European capital in four weeks, or even four months. Relax, taste and feel the different
culture, get to know the locals and immerse yourself a little.
3 ....................
Backpacking is hard work! Whatever you take with you on your backpacking trip will be
carried on your back for the duration. Obvious? Yes but it's amazing how heavy that
backpack can become after you've lugged it on and off buses and trains numerous times.
Travel light. Really really light. Wear a pair of comfy shoes and pack one more pair. One
jacket, a couple of jumpers and T shirts, an extra pair of jeans, shorts, swimwear, towel.
You shouldn't need much else.
4 ....................
You'll meet lots of new people, other backpackers, travellers, locals, and you'll most
likely end up chatting easily to strangers. Most of them will be good people, but not all
of them. Girls should be particularly vigilant. Stay in touch with family. If immediate
strangers ask, always tell them that your family or friends at home know exactly where
you are, i.e which city you are in and the address where you are staying.
5 ....................
This from a female backpacker (me again!) who hitched thousands of miles in the 80's
across France, Italy and Greece. Yes, there are lots of wierdos out there. You may feel
there is safety in numbers but that's not always so. Catch the bus or the train, really it's
worth it!
A Don't travel alone E Try to enjoy every minute of it
B Be aware of personal safety at all times F Don't plan to visit too many places
C Avoid hitchhiking G Carry little cash
D Don't put too many things into your backpack H Get a ticket back home in advance

UNIT 2. НАВЧАННЯ ОЗНАЙОМЛЮВАЛЬНОГО ЧИТАННЯ
(MATCHING)
Навчання і контроль цього виду читання здійснюється на матеріалі
автентичних текстів, які містять інформацію про історію, побут, традиції,
культуру країни, мова якої вивчається.
Темп ознайомлюваль-ного читання становить 180 слів за хвилину.
Тестові завдання контролюють наявність таких умінь:
• прогнозування змісту за заголовком або початком тексту;
• визначення смислових частин тексту та зв'язків між ними;
• виділення головних фактів, випускаючи другорядні.
Навички читання з метою загального розуміння прочитаного перевіряються
за допомогою завдання на встановлення відповідності (Matching). Це завдання
належить до категорії легких. Воно містить п'ять коротких текстів/абзаців
одного тексту (обсягом 50—80 слів), об'єднаних спільною темою, та вісім
заголовків/запитань до них, три з яких є зайвими. Кожен текст містить певну
ідею. Для виконання завдання (підбору заголовку або співвіднесення запитання
з текстом, у якому міститься відповідь на нього) необхідно зрозуміти основну
ідею кожного тексту.
Для успішного виконання завдання дотримуйтеся таких рекомендацій:
• ознайомтесь із загальним заголовком, якщо він є;
• прогляньте тексти і визначте їх тематику;
• ознайомтесь із пропонованими заголовками (запитаннями);
• поверніться до текстів, уважно прочитайте кожний із них; знайдіть
ключовий мовний вираз (слово, групу слів), який розкриває основну
ідею тексту;
• співвіднесіть кожний заголовок (запитання) з відповідним текстом;
• виключте три зайвих заголовка (запитання).

ПРИКЛАД
Read the texts below.
Match choices (A—H) to (1—5). There are three choices you don't need to use.
Choosing a university can look like a daunting process, but there are lots of resources to
help make it easier. Before you start filling out those university application forms,
consider the many variables that affect the "fit" of a university to your unique personality
and educational goals. Take a look at the following factors.
1 ....................
Make sure the university offers the program you want — you can check program listings
in this directory, or online www.aucc.ca/canuni/search/index/e.html. Remember that
your first year is often a time to try a variety of courses, and then choose the area in
which you want to specialize. You could try new fields of study that aren't available in
high school — courses like astronomy, philosophy or international studies.
2 ....................
Have a look at the university calendars and read the individual course outlines. You can
also compare how individual programs are designed by different universities (such as
course components), the structure of courses (is it group work or exam-based?) and the
flexibility offered each year in terms of what students can choose to study.
3 ....................
Do you want a small university, where most of the students are undergraduates and live
on campus? Alternatively, would you prefer a larger university, with access to a greater
range of facilities and programs?
4 ....................
A University's reputation continues to be a major factor in how students choose where to
study. That said, choosing a university should not be done solely on reputation. Be aware
that reputations are sometimes out of date or overstated, so first-hand experience is often
beneficial. Prospective students can visit the campuses of their top university choices and
spend some time talking with current students and getting a feel for the campus. Try to
get a sense of how you'd see yourself living in that particular place for 3 or 4 years.
5 ....................
The costs associated with attending university go well beyond tuition fees to include
housing, food, books, supplies, and personal living expenses. These costs are different
depending upon the type of program, type of university and the size and location of the
school.
A Start with studying your admission requirements
B Find out about the course content
C Try to get your own impression of the university you choose
D Make sure you can afford it
E Learn how far away from home it is
F See if you'll be satisfied with the housing conditions
G Consider the size of the university
H Check on the curriculum

Dear Maria, Thank you for your letter. You asked me about the Lake District. It
certainly is a beautiful place to visit. I’m enclosing a map and a postcard. Isn’t it lovely?
You can travel to the Lake Distlict by train or coach from London. I think you should take a train, as you have very little time and its much quicker and vely comfortable.
As for the places to stay, I guess you ought to try a Youth Hostel. They’re quite cheap and good places for meeting people. You sleep in single beds but you share a room.
Speaking about sights, the Lake Distlict was the home of the famous poet William Wordsworth, who spent most of his life there. It’s a wonderful place for walking. There’s also a very interesting museum, about Lakeland life and industry. Unfortunately, the whole area gets very crowded in summer with people coming to visit the Lakes and the poet’s home, so perhaps the best thing to do would be to travel on a Friday morning and come back on Monday or Tuesday to avoid the weekend rush.
Concerning the weather, it’s often wet, so bring light, waterproof clothing and it might be an idea to buy an umbrella! Hope this helps. We’re looking forwald to meeting you.
Love, Sally

UNIT 3. НАПИСАННЯ ЕСЕ
Есе (франц. еssai — спроба, нарис) — твір невеликого обсягу, що виражає
індивідуальні враження і міркування з конкретного питання. Есе має демонструвати
Ваше вміння чітко формулювати думки і логічно їх обґрунтовувати, використовуючи
необхідні факти та приклади. Через усе есе повинна чітко проходити його головна
тема. Усі інші міркування можуть лише підкріплювати її.
Есе зазвичай складається з передмови (introduction), у якій чітко окреслюється коло
питань, що Ви розглядатимете; основної частини (main body), у якій наводиться
Ваша аргументація за чи проти точки зору, що була висловлена; заключної частини
(conclusion), у якій підсумовуються розглянуті питання, робляться висновки і
надається Ваша особиста точка зору.
Важливим елементом есе є плавні переходи від абзацу до абзацау, адже саме вони
демонструють Ваше вміння логічно мислити і чітко формулювати свої думки.
Засобом, що може забезпечити таку плавність, є слова-зв'язки.
Якщо Ви додаєте якусь інформацію, то використовуйте
and, moreover, as well as, in addition to, additionally, furthermore, what is more.
Для позначення контрасту вживаються
but, however; on the other hand, in contrast, by contrast, yet, on the contrary.
Якщо йдеться про виключення або протиріччя застосовуються
despite, in spite of, notwithstanding.
Причинно-наслідкові відношення можна передати за допомогою so, therefore, as a
result, as a consequence, consequently, this results in, this leads to, this has the effect of.
Прислівники послідовності, порядкові числівники і прислівники, що від них утворені,
допомагають відтворити послідовність подій або положень, що є важливими для
Вашого есе: then, next, after, afterwards, finally, lastly, first, second, third або firstly,
secondly, thirdly.
Намагайтеся урізноманітнювати мовні одиниці, що Ви вживаєте, шукайте синоніми.
Уникайте використання скорочених форм (isn't), розмовних слів та виразів, прикладів
з особистого життя. Есе, у якому надається власна точка зору, зазвичай пишеться з
використанням дієслів теперішнього часу.
Для висловлення особистого ставлення вживайте фрази I believe/think that.,
I strongly believe., in my opinion/view..., I (do not) agree that..., As far as I am concerned...,
I am totally against..., I (strongly) disagree with/that., I couldn't agree/disagree more.

ПРИКЛАД ЗАВДАННЯ НА НАПИСАННЯ ЕСЕ
At present at school you are working on the topic "Education".
Your home assignment is to write an essay on pros and cons
of taking a correspondence course.
When writing keep to the following plan:
• introduction — general comments on correspondence courses
• advantages of correspondence courses and facts/reasons
• disadvantages of correspondence courses and facts/reasons
• conclusion — give your opinion using different words
Nowadays people of different ages and background education try to get
training in different fields in older to improve their chances of getting a good
job. Correspondence courses give you an excellent opportunity to get the
necessary knowledge and qualifications.
I think that the main advantage of correspondence courses is a possibility
to combine training and a part time job or standard courses at colleges or
universities. Moreover, they are not so time consuming and you may have spare
time to enjoy yourself. What is more, it is much easier to get into a
correspondence course than a university.
However, it is the student who has to study and work hard at the end of
the day. Unfortunately, not everybody can work systematically without
constant control of the teacher.
I stlongly believe that correspondence courses are one of the finest options
available, especially for people who do not care about attending lectures or
have to earn their living.

TEST YOURSELF
CONTROL TEST
TASK 1 Read the texts below.
Match choices (A—H) to (1—5).
There are three choices you don't need to use.
1. LIBRA
The planets haven't been brilliantly kind to you over the last few days,
and thanks to the continuing challenges from the stars you're likely to be
feeling a twinge of dissatisfaction today too. Arm yourself with a couple
of trusty friends who will be able to keep you feeling as optimistic as
possible!
2. VIRGO
It's going to be a very relaxing day for you today thanks to the positive
influence of the moon. At the beginning of the day you may feel a little
drained after all the energy that has been buzzing around you lately.
However, by the end of the day you will have found a way to simply
ease into a more relaxed state!
3. LEO
You can look forward to a generally good day, but for the one or two
obstacles that are standing in the way of your happiness in matters of the
heart. Maybe you need to rethink the way you approach this. Being more
tolerant will certainly help you overcome the problem!
4. PISCES
You are not usually one for loving lots of attention, preferring to sit back
and quietly take stock. However, thanks to the power of the elements you
will be full of witty comments today and everyone around you will be
keen to allow you to take center stage in any social gatherings!
5. SAGITTARIUS
You should try and avoid the mall today, because the planetary line-up
suggests that you're likely to fritter your money away, especially if you're
not feeling on top of the world. To give your mood a boost you should
arrange an evening of dancing the night away instead!
People of which sign ....................
A are going to have the most enjoyable day?
B are likely to need a helping hand?
C should be ready to get out of the background?
D may hope for a more successful day in the near future?
E are sure to succeed in business?
F are going to have a wonderful day for romance?
G should be more flexible?
H are going to have a bad day for shopping?
158
TASK 2 Read the texts below. Match choices (A—H) to (1—5).
There are three choices you don't need to use.
TOP 5 TIPS FOR NEW STUDENTS 1 .................... Starting to establish connections on campus can help you feel
more settled. The perception of many first years is that everyone else already has
friends on campus and that they are the ONLY person who doesn't know anyone. Get
to know people in your course. This can help you feel more socially connected and
enable you to chat with other students about assignments or set up study groups. There
are lots of different clubs and societies that you can join to get to know other students
with similar interests to yours.
2 .................... Unlike high school, no one will follow you up if you don't go to
class. However, it is easy to fall behind quickly if you're not attending lectures, and
your grades may be affected. Some courses have compulsory attendance requirements,
or a participation component to the final grade. Even if you are not feeling great, just
being in a lecture and listening is a good idea.
3 .................... Many students feel shy, anxious or awkward when attending
new classes. If you have come from a small school, you may have been a big fish in a
little pond and now you may feel like a very small fish! Be positive about yourself and
your abilities. Remember that you have demonstrated the abilities and qualities needed
to get you in to university and you will feel more confident with time.
4 .................... The first few weeks of university can seem pretty manageable
— then the first few assignments are due in the same week! In the first week of
lectures you will be given a course outline for each subject which will list all of your
assignments and their due dates. Write these in your diary and on a wall calendar so
you can see clearly where they fall and plan ahead to ensure that you can meet all the
deadlines.
5 .................... At university it can be hard to tell how well you're going.
Standards are high and your grades may be a bit lower than what you are used to, or
you may not have many assignments from which to gauge your performance. This is
why it is important that you recognise the achievements you make and reward
yourself. Celebrate finishing an assignment, getting to all of your classes, doing a
presentation or just keeping a balance in your life and feeling like you are managing.
A Go to sleep earlier E Be sure of yourself
B Prize yourself F Think about the timetable
C Keep a balance G Ask for help
D Don't miss classes H Make friends
TASK 3 The central part of your city is overloaded with traffic, there is
shortage of parking lots. The City Council is looking for ways to solve
the problem. Write an essay on the problem following the plan below:
• state the problem • suggestion 1 and reason • suggestion 2 and reason • summary

Exercise 8. It is midnight and everybody in Charlie and Susan's house is about to climb into bed when
Charlie's wife informs him that there is a light on in their garden shed. Charlie starts to go outside
to turn off the light, but notices some thieves in the shed who are busy stealing his belongings and
his sons' bicycles.
He runs back inside right away and calls the police, who ask him "Are there any intruders in
your house?" to which Charlie replies 'no' and explains his circumstances. The policemen's answer
is that all patrol cars are otherwise occupied, and that Charlie should just lock his door and a
uniformed policeman will be at his house when one is free.
Charlie answers, "Alright," hangs up, waits 30 seconds, and then calls the police again.
"Hello, I have just called because there are some people stealing stuff from my shed. I want to
let you know that they're not a problem anymore because I've just shot every one of them."

Exercise 7.
— Stephenie Meyer's life changed dramatically on the 2nd of June, 2003. The stay-at-
home mother of — three young sons woke up from a dream featuring — seemingly
real characters that she could not get out of her head. "Though I had a million things
to do, I stayed in — bed, thinking about the dream. Unwillingly, I eventually got up
and did the immediate necessities, and then put everything that I possibly could on the
back burner and sat down at the computer to write — something I hadn't done in such
a long time that I wondered why I was bothering".
— Meyer invented the plot during the day through — swim lessons and — potty
training, and wrote it out late at — night when the house was quiet. Three months later
she finished the first novel, Twilight. With — encouragement from her older sister
(the only other person who knew she had written a book), Meyer submitted the
manuscript to — various literary agencies. Twilight was picked out of a slush pile at
Writer's House and eventually made its way to the publishing company Little Brown,
where everyone fell immediately in — love with the gripping, star-crossed lovers.
Twilight was one of 2005's most talked about novels and within — weeks of its
release the book debuted at #5 on The New York Times bestseller list.

Most British people prefer to live in a house rather than a flat and one of the

Some houses have only a very small back garden, (6) .......... of concrete, called a
backyard or, in more fashionable areas, a patio. People often (7) ........... it with plants

The word garden is used only for the areas where flowers and vegetables (10) ........... .
Yards usually consist of a lawn and trees, flowers and bushes. They may have fences

EXERCISE 3. Read the text and choose the correct answer (A, B or C).
The main field sports in Britain are hunting, shooting and fishing. They are often
also called blood sports because they involve killing animals. All three sports were
traditionally associated with the upper classes, although today they all, especially
fishing, attract a much wider group of people.
Shooting game birds, such as pheasant and grouse, is a sport mainly of the upper
and middle classes. Grouse shooting begins each year on 12 August, and takes place
mainly in Scotland. The hunters often employ beaters to drive the birds towards their
guns. Those who object to shooting at live birds for sport do clay-pigeon shooting
(shooting at clay discs fired into the air).
Fishing is a very popular sport, mostly among men. There are three main kinds of
fishing: fly-fishing, coarse fishing and sea-fishing. Fly-fishing, which is expensive, is
fishing for salmon, trout and other fish in fast-flowing rivers, using specially disguised
hooks. Coarse fishing in rivers and lakes for fish other than salmon and trout, most of
which are thrown back after being caught is more widely popular. On the coast people
may fish with a rod and line on a boat or from the shore.
Americans do not use the name field sports. Instead they say outdoor sports or,
because that can include camping, walking and boating, simply hunting and fishing.
Bird hunting is often used instead of shooting, because that cаn also mean shooting at
targets made of wood. People who enjoy these sports buy magazines like Field &
Stream and American Rifleman. There are also many television programs about
hunting and fishing.

WHY IS THE OCEAN SALTY?
The ocean is the eventual depository for most of Earth's water. Over the millenniums of
land and ocean formation, dissolved minerals from Earth's crust were washed into the
ocean. As time went on, water was continuously evaporating from the ocean, leaving behind
mineral salts until they reached their present-day concentrations. Salt water is roughly 3.5
percent dissolved mineral salts. Fresh water contains dissolved mineral salts too, but at
concentrations too low for us to taste. Salt lakes often are found in a region where the rate
of evaporation is high and dissolved salts are left behind. One famous lake, which is saltier
than the ocean, is the Great Salt Lake in the state of Utah. The Dead Sea has a 25 percent
salt content, so high that, it is almost impossible to drown.

For questions 1—5 choose the correct answer A, B or C.
The dishwasher was invented as a dish-saving appliance, not a laborsaving one. In
1886 socialite Josephine Cochrane invented a machine to help clean up after her
dinner parties without breaking the china.
Impressed with the "steam servant girl," hotels and restaurants began placing
orders. But because early home models could cost up to $1,000 and could use up a
whole tank of hot water for one load, sales to housewives were not brisk. Most
surprising to dishwasher manufacturers was women's claim that they enjoyed washing
dishes by hand. As machines got quieter, more efficient, and better at removing stains,
and as attitudes toward housework began to change, sales picked up. Today more than
half the homes of America have dishwashers, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many
contrasts. He was a scientist with a love of literature, and industrialist who managed to
(1) ......... an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in
company he was often sad in private. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to
love him; a patriotic son of his (2) ........ land, he died alone on foreign soil. He invented a
new explosive, dynamite, to (3) ........ the peacetime industries of mining and road building,
but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellow men. During his useful life
he often felt he was useless. "Alfred Nobel," he once wrote of himself, "ought to have been
put to death by a kind doctor as soon as, with a cry, he entered life." World-famous for his
works he was never (4) ......... well known, for throughout his life he (5) ....... publicity. "I do
not see," he once said, "that I have (6) ......... any fame and I have no taste for it." But since
his death, his name has brought fame and glory to others.
He was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833 but moved to Russia with his parents
in 1842, where his father made a strong position for himself in the engineering industry.
Most of the family returned to Sweden in 1859, where Alfred (7) ............. them in 1863,

Alfred Nobel was imaginative and inventive. He was quick to see industrial openings for his

lay in his outstanding (8) ......... to combine the quаlities of an original scientist with those of

WHO INVENTED ZERO?
If you want to split hairs and (1) .......... this a trick question, then the answer is no
one "invented" zero, since it was sort of always there and just (2) ........... discovering.
Then again, numbers are a human construct, so there is a (3) ............ argument that
someone indeed invented it, since the number zero is very different from the concept
of nothing. The idea of nothing, or "not having," must have been in people's (4) ..........
as soon as numbers were invented. What was lacking for so many years was a special
symbol for zero to bring it into the number line. We know that the Babylonians used a
space a placeholder for empty "columns" as far back as 1700 В.С. They wrote in
cuneiform, a system which relied on making a series of marks on soft clay tablets,
leaving a space in the clay to (5) ......... a place without value. They didn't, however,
(6) ............ the space as a number itself. It was seen rather as the lack of a number,
which is not the same thing as the modern number zero. The Babylonians didn't use
their zero symbol on its own or at the end of a number. (7) ........... of the Babylonians,
the Mayans had (8) ............. the concept of zero by 36 В.С. and used a shell-shaped
figure to signify it. There is some (9) ........... to suggest that a neighboring
Mesoameriсаn civilization such as the Olmec may have used a zero symbol even
earlier. In the second century A.D., the ancient Greeks devised a symbol for zero — a
small circle with a long overbar — which they used alone rather than as a placeholder.
They were very uncomfortable with the paradox of something being nothing,
however, and restricted the zero to the fractional part of a number, rather than
including it among the integrals. The truly modern concept of zero as a number rather
than a symbol for separation didn't really blossom until the ninth century in India. The
Indians embraced both the philosophical and spiritual significance of zero, as well as
its concrete (10) ........ . They (11) .......... practical calculations with it, and (12) ..........
it as a separate number in its own right, with none of the philosophical reservations
that plagued the Greeks.

TASK 1
Read the text below. Match choices (A—H) to (1—5).
There are three choices you don't need to use.
BIGFOOT From around the world come reports of peculiar animals that most people don't
believe in because they have never seen them and because no one has ever captured
one to show to the public. The most famous examples are the Loch Ness Monster of
Scotland, or Yeti of Asia. Canadians call the latter Sasquatch, in the Pacific Northwest
it is known as Bigfoot, in Mongolia - as Almas.
Bigfoot is an apelike creature believed by some people to exist in certain areas of
the United States and Canada. Hundreds of people since 1840 have reported sighting
such a creature in wooded areas of the Pacific Northwest, California, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and British Columbia, and one photographer took a brief
movie sequence supposedly showing a Bigfoot in northern California in 1967. Tracks
measuring up to more than 17 inches (43 cm) long and 7 inches (18 cm) wide, and
attributed to Bigfoot, have also been found. However, no specimen has ever been
captured or photographed clearly. Bigfoot is generally described as a primate
resembling a man or ape, 6 to 8 feet (1.8—2.4 meters) tall, standing erect on two feet,
with massive shoulders and a body covered with gray, black, or brown hair. It flees
when approached, and generally makes no sound. Although most scientists do not
recognize its existence, a few believe that it may be the descendant of an extinct
apelike creature, Gigantopithecus, that may have crossed the Bering land bridge from
Asia to North America in prehistoric times.
On October 23 1975, at 7:30 p.m., the police sergeant answered a call to a house
where something had been heard pounding on the back wall. The woman who lived
there had gone next door to her son's house and there was no prowler to be found, but
something had apparently torn some plastic that covered a back doorway, and there
was a window broken. At 2:20 а.m. the same night something was again reported
behind the house, and when the sergeant arrived, along with several other people, his
spotlight quickly picked up what looked like a very large ape standing in the back
yard. While someone else held the light on it the sergeant walked to within 35 feet of
the animal, which made no attempt to run but crouched down as he got near. There
they stayed for "many minutes," while the sergeant wondered what to do next.
285
He had a shotgun loaded with buckshot but he was not sure if the thing was some
kind of human, and if it wasn't, he didn't know how much buckshot it could take.
He noted afterwards in his report that it was black in color, would stand seven to
eight feet tall and appeared to have no neck. It was covered with short hair, except on
the face. He could see no ears. The eyes were small. It appeared to have four teeth
larger than the others, two upper and two lower. Its nose was flat. He could see the
nostrils. At the end there were seven people watching it, although only two others
approached close to it. Then there were noises heard off in the dark at both sides, and
the man with the spotlight swung it off to the right and called that there was "another
one over there". At that point the sergeant decided to return to his patrol car...

ПРИКЛАД
Read the text below.
For questions (1-5) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
Are most business people honest? When they were children, the businesspeople
of today were taught by their parents that honesty pays and that the dishonest will
suffer. Their parents and teachers told them moral stories about honest people who
were rewarded and dishonest people who were punished. Then they grew up and went
out into the cold hard world of business. Faced with a choice between honesty and
dishonest profit, which road do these people take? According to a study conducted by
Harvard Business Review, most U.S. businesspeople do conduct their affairs honestly.
They also are willing to trust other businesspeople, because their experience has
taught them that most of them are honest too. But the Harvard team found numerous
examples with a different outcome: sometimes dishonesty was greatly profitable. A
computer company deceived an advertising agency in order to get good terms, and
that single ad helped them sell $150,000 worth of software. Expensive department
stores in New York City have a reputation for breaking their promises to suppliers and
costing the suppliers a great deal. Some investment brokers deceive their clients and
lose all their money. Yet more clients come along, the suppliers keep working with the
department stores, and ad agencies take new chances with unknown firms.
Given examples like these, it may seem strange to you that businesses would be
so trusting. It's partly due to an assumption in the business world that some dishonest
people are going to come your way, and you just have to take it in stride. In other
cases the reason is greed: the investor convinces the client that he will make such
incredible profits that the client can't resist. The smooth talk of the sales rep may win
over the customer. Clients have their lawyer go over the contract with a fine-toothed
comb, hoping that they can outfox the deceiver. And another reason that dishonesty
pays is because most businesspeople believe that most others are as honest as they
themselves are. You might think that dishonest companies and businesspeople would
be sued, but they seldom are. The victims may be afraid of the person's power, they
may just not want to spend the time and money and effort, or they might not want to
endanger their own reputation.
It sounds bad, doesn't it? Crime pays, honest people suffer. Yet these stories do
seem to be in the minority. It's true that you can always find ways to lose your money
if you want to take foolish risks with people who have bad track records, but the truth
is, most business people generally trust people. Most of them also said that they
themselves were honest in their own business dealings. Why? Not because they
believed that it would bring them higher profits, but because of their own self-respect
and moral principles. They "took pride in their good names." Said one: "We keep
promises because we believe it is right to do so, not because it is good business."

Твердження 1 (the passage is primarily about) спрямоване на з'ясування основної теми
тексту. Щоб знайти правильну відповідь, доцільно дотримуватися таких рекомендацій:
• прогляньте кожний абзац;
• визначте ідею, яка їх об'єднує;
• якщо головна ідея не очевидна, об'єднайте ідеї, що містяться в кожному абзаці і визначте
узагальнюючу;
• упевніться, що Ваша відповідь стосується всього тексту, а не окремого абзацу.
У першому абзаці йдеться про ділових людей (business people), чесність та шахрайство
(автор вживає такі слова, як honesty, dishonesty, moral stories, to trust, to deceive, to break
promises). У другому абзаці також говориться про світ бізнесу (business world), чесність та
шахрайство; про ділових людей та про те, що вони піклуються про свою репутацію (they
might not want to endanger their own reputation). У третьому абзаці автор робить акцент на
тому, чому ділові люди намагаються бути чесними в діловому світі (Not because they
believed that it would bring them higher profits, but because of their own self-respect and moral
principles. They "took pride in their good names".). Відтак, твердження А та B можна віднести
до всіх трьох абзаців, проте вони є надто загальними.
291
У твердженні А не йдеться про чесність та шахрайство саме серед ділових людей, а
твердження В стосується будь-якого аспекту діяльності ділових людей. Твердження C
більш стосується другого абзацу. Таким чином, правильною відповіддю є твердження D,
адже саме воно відображає основну тему тексту — чесність і шахрайство у діловому світі.
Завдання 2 (Which of the following is true, according to the passage?), 4 (The author of the
passage states that...) та 5 (Most business people are honest because...) спрямовані на пошук
детальної інформації, що базується на фактах, викладених у тексті.
Очевидно, що у завданні 2 відповідь А не може бути правильною, тому що в першому
абзаці автор говорить, що нечесність іноді приносила великий прибуток (sometimes
dishonesty was greatly profitable). Твердження В не містить інформації тексту, хоча в цілому
відповідає темі тексту. Ми можемо припустити, що чесність насправді гарний бізнес, але
автор не надає нам конкретних фактів. Твердження C також не відповідає дійсності, тому
що в другому абзаці автор стверджує You might think that dishonest companies and
businesspeople would be sued, but they seldom are (Можна було б припустити, що нечесні
компанії та бізнесмени будуть переслідуватися у судовому порядку, але таке трапляється
рідко). Таким чином, правильною є відповідь D. Окрім того, в першому абзаці говориться
про те, що businesspeople do conduct their affairs honestly. They also are willing to trust other
businesspeople, because their experience has taught them that most of them are honest …
(Бізнесмени насправді ведуть справи чесно. Вони також мають схильність довіряти іншим
бізнесменам, бо їхній досвід свідчить про те, що більшість із них—чесні люди).
У завданні 3 слід знайти факти, що суперечать інформації тексту. Надаються три правильні
відповіді і одна, що не відповідає дійсності. Ключовим словом запитання є victim (жертва).
Детальна інформація про жертв шахрайства надана в другому абзаці: The victims may be
afraid of the person's power, they may just not want to spend the time and money and effort, or
they might not want to endanger their own reputation (Жертви можуть боятися могутності
людини, не бажати витрачати час, гроші та зусилля або не ризикувати своєю репутацією).
Отже, твердження автора, що іноді жертви не бажають мати справу із впливовими особами
відповідає A, витрачати час, гроші та зусилля на з'ясування стосунків — B, піклуються про
репутацію — D. У третьому абзаці автор також говорить про безглуздий ризик (foolish
risks), але в зовсім іншому контексті. Таким чином, правильною відповіддю є C.
У завданні 4 відповідь А не може бути правильною, тому що в першому абзаці автор
говорить про те, що більшість бізнесменів (але не всі) насправді є чесними людьми (most of
them are honest too). У твердженні В ідеться про прибутки чесного бізнесу, але в тексті
немає прямих фактів, які б підтвердили це. Твердження D також не може бути прийнятим з
цієї ж причини: автор не надає доказів того, що шахраї завжди несуть покарання. Відтак,
правильною відповіддю є С. Про це свідчить речення з третього абзацу They took pride in
their good names (Вони пишалися своїм добрим ім'ям).
У завданні 5 А та D не можуть розглядатися як правильні відповіді тому, що батьки та
вчителі дійсно говорили дітям про те, що слід бути чесними Their parents and teachers told
them moral stories about honest people who were rewarded and dishonest people who were
punished (Їх батьки та вчителі розповідали їм повчальні історії про чесних людей, які
отримали належне, та нечесних, які були покарані), але автор не стверджує, що кожен
фактор окремо відіграв вирішальну роль при виборі стратегії поведінки бізнесменів у
діловому світі. Твердження В не може бути прийнятим, тому що автор не надає доказів
того, що чесні люди завжди отримують винагороду. Відтак, правильною відповіддю є С.
Про це свідчить і твердження у третьому абзаці: Said one: "We keep promises because we
believe it is right to do so, not because it is good business" (Говорять: «Ми дотримуємось
обіцянок тому, що вважаємо це правильним, а не тому, що це гарний бізнес»).

THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF
By James McGowan, Ph.D.
What are dreams? Do they mean anything? These are two questions my clients
often ask. When Pocket Digest asked me to write a brief article about dreams for this
month's issue, I was happy to agree.
So, first: What are dreams? Dreams are stories people create, watch, and
participate in while sleeping. Dreams are imaginary, of course, but they seem real to
the dreamer. Whether we are awake or asleep, our brains continually produce
electrical brain waves scientists can measure. During sleep, there are two basic types
of waves: (1) large, slow waves; and (2) smaller, faster waves. The type of sleep that
occurs when the waves are smaller and faster is called REM, which stands for Rapid
Eye Movement. Most dreaming happens during REM sleep. If you watch someone
who's asleep and dreaming, you'll probably see that person's eyelids moving quickly.
REM periods usually occur from three to five times per night. When we wake up in
the morning and remember our dreams, it often seems that they've gone on for hours
and hours. They haven't, though; REM periods usually last from five minutes to half
an hour.
Second: Do dreams mean anything? Well, yes, they mean something. But it's a lot
more difficult to assign a specific meaning to a dream than we might think. Sigmund
Freud, whose theory of psychoanalysis has dominated psychiatry in the twentieth
century, said that dreams are usually disguised wish fulfillments. Suppose, for
example, you have a red-headed co-worker you don't like who's always criticizing
you. One night you dream you're driving a car. You see a man dressed in red, and you
hit him with your car. According to Freud, hitting the man in red would represent your
anger at the red-haired man at work. Your dream fulfills your wish. But not all
psychiatrists agree with Freud. Some say that this kind of matching of dreams and
reality is too easy. The reality of people's lives, they say, is much more complex.
Dreams have meanings, of course, but we shouldn't be too quick to interpret them.
293

Choose from (A—H) the one which best fits each space (1—6).
There are two choices you do not need to use.
FIRST TIME ON THE SNOW? As with any type of holiday you can choose a package ski or snowboard holiday
with a tour operator or you can go alone and (1) .................... . There are advantages
and disadvantages with both options so take the time to investigate which is best for
you before you book.
Booking a skiing or snowboarding holiday is not a complicated process and it can
be done in the same way as you would book any other sort of holiday: book a package
with a travel agent or tour operator, or arrange your own flights, transfers and
accommodation and (2) .................... .
Package ski and snowboarding holidays remain popular with UK travellers
probably because they require less organisation (3) .................... . However,
independent travel can provide much more flexibility and it is often a good way to get
off the beaten track or away from the crowds. Independent travel also means you may
be able to visit a few mountain resorts in one trip.
If budget is important to you — and let's face it, it is for most of us —
(4) .................... . You may not get as wide a choice of accommodation on late deals
but there is the added advantage of picking an area where you know there has been
recent snowfall.
It is sometimes possible to save money by booking skiing and snowboarding trips
independently (5) .................... . However, some tour operators get discounts on a lot
of products so don't assume a package is more expensive. In the past you may have
been tempted by a package holiday (6) .................... .
However, the Internet means that it is now easy to gather all the information you
need and to book your travel, accommodation, tuition and equipment rental online.
295
FIRST TIME ON THE SNOW?
A travel when you want to
B when you arrive in the resort
C because you only pay for what you need to
D when the day's skiing comes to an end
E you might consider a late package deal
F on your part
G book your trip independently
H because everything is arranged for you
У пропуск 1 структурно вписуються відповіді A та G, проте за містом підходить
лише G: you can choose a package ski or snowboard holiday with a tour operator or
you can go alone and book your trip independently (Ви можете вибрати тур на
лижний курорт через туроператора або замовити його самостійно).
Правильність вибору доводиться змістом усього тексту, адже в ньому йдеться
про два альтернативних способи організації відпочинку: вдатися до послуг
турагентів або замовити все самостійно.
Подібним чином за змістом i граматичною формою пропуск 2 заповнюється
фрагментом А: book a package with a travel agent or tour operator, or arrange your
own flights, transfers and accommodation and travel when you want to (замовте тур
у тур-агента або самі подбайте про рейс, доставку до місця відпочинку та житло
й подорожуйте, коли вам заманеться).
Пропуск 3 корелює з фрагментом F: Package ski and snowboarding holidays
remain popular with UK travellers probably because they require less organization
on your part (Організовані тури на лижні курорти залишаються популярними
серед подорожуючих британців, оскільки вони вимагають від них особисто
менше клопоту).
У пункті 4 єдино можливою є відповідь E: If budget is important to you — and
let's face it, it is for most of us — you might consider a late package deal (Якщо
бюджет дуже важливий для вас — давайте визнаємо, що він турбує більшість із
нас, — ви можете розглянути можливість оплати туру зі знижкою).
Правильність вибору підтверджує наступне речення, у якому йдеться саме про
тури зі знижкою (late deals).
Пропуск 5 заповнюється фрагментом C: It is sometimes possible to save money by
booking skiing and snowboarding trips independently because you only pay for what
you need to (Іноді можна заощадити, займаючись організацією лижних турів
самостійно, оскільки ви сплачуєте лише за те, що вам потрібно).
І, нарешті, інформацію, втрачену через пропуск 6, реконструює фрагмент H: In
the past you may have been tempted by a package holiday because everything is
arranged for you (У минулому вас, можливо, вабили організовані тури, бо в них
усе для вас було передбаченим).
Відповіді В та D є зайвими.

Have you evel seen a cow on the ice? You could have seen one, if you had been among the guests of Susan Arnold’s bilthday party last Saturday. At least those, who were skating at the Chateau Ledau that evening, giggled and said something about cows going in for sports.
The moment I put on the skates I undelstood that was going to be the most difficult bilthday party in my life. While all the guests made for the ice rink, laughing and chattering cheerfully, I felt my legs shaking and was afraid to make even one step. So the fact that finally I pulled myself together and followed everybody to the ice was a great victory for me.
I had never thought ice could be so slippery! Have you? Anyway, among the guests there was a boy whose opinion is important for me. I couldn’t let him think I was a clumsy coward, so I closed my eyes and tried to skate. Luckily I didn’t get too far from the board. That saved me from falling down right away.
Gradually my legs got firmer, my heart stopped jumping in my chest, I dared to open my eyes. In my opinion, I did pretty well for a person skating for the first time. Sometimes I even took my hands off the board!
Even though for others I seemed to be a skating disaster, I started enjoying what I was doing. I am even thinking of keeping my own birthday on the ice!

SECTION IV. TESTS AND CONTROL WORKS
TEST 1
READING TASK 1
Match choices (A—H) to (1—5).
There are three choices you don't need to use.
1 …………………….
Fallout 3. Ideal audience: old-school role-playing gamers and anyone who wants to
see Washington in ashes. The return of the classic Fallout series is a sprawling re-
creation of the Capitol area after a nuclear war. The tone is darker and less slyly
humorous than previous Fallout games, but the sheer size and ambitions of the game
impress. For Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Rating: M for mature.
2 …………………….
Grand Theft Auto IV. Ideal audience: well-adjusted adults who want to explore a
rich, intelligent, politically incorrect digital rendition of New York City. As long as
you can accept that a great work of modern entertainment can revolve around
criminals - something long assumed in television and films -then it is almost
impossible to deny that G.T.A. IV is one of the most compelling games in recent
years. For Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Rating: M for mature.
3 …………………….
Gears of War. Ideal audience: testosterone-fuelled core gamers who like chain saws.
When you think about the stereotypical video game, this is what you're thinking
about: big guns, voracious alien bad guys, great graphics, huge explosions, cardboard-
cutout characters, silly dialogue and cheap thrills all around. Not that there's anything
wrong with that. For Xbox 360. Rating: M for mature.
4 …………………….
Fable II. Ideal audience: emotionally mature children and most fans of delicate
entertainment design. This game is rated M not because it is especially violent or
profane. It is rated M because in between casting spells and swinging swords you can
have children, you can get married (and have affairs if you choose), and you can buy
condoms. Shocking, I know. For Xbox 360.
5 …………………….
Professor Layout and the Curious Village. Ideal audience: puzzle fans. One of the
sleepers of 2008, Professor Layton ties together more than 100 beautifully designed
brainteasers with an endearing anime-style story. The puzzles themselves are perfectly
intelligible to non-gamers. For Nintendo DS. Rating: E for everyone.
303

TASK 2
Read the text below.
For questions (6—10) choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D).
Write your answer on the separate answer sheet.
Halloween has its roots in Samhain (pronounced sow-in), an ancient harvest
festival held at the end of the Celtic year. The festival marked the end of summer and
the beginning of the dark wintertime. It was believed the spirits of the dead returned
on this eve to damage crops and play tricks on the living. It was also believed that the
Celtic priests, or Druids, were able to make predictions about the future, which they
did during large bonfire celebrations where they wore animal skins and sacrificed
crops and animals to the spirits.
In early A.D., Romans came to the Celtic territories of modern day England,
Scotland and Northern France, and were the first people to influence the celebration of
Samhain. They brought their own holidays: Feralia, the Roman day to honor the dead
in late October, as well as another holiday to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of
fruit and trees. It is possible that this Roman influence is the reason apples are given
out and bobbed for on Halloween.
By 800 A.D., Christianity spread to the Celtic Territories and brought with it
another holiday, "All Saints Day." Pope Boniface IV, the designator of All Saints Day,
was likely trying to replace Samhain with a similar but holier holiday meant to honor
saints and martyrs. Later on, All Saints Day was renamed "All Hallows" and thus the
day of Samhain (Oct. 31st) began to be called "All Hallows Eve," and eventually
shortened to "Hallowe'en."
All of the holidays that were melded together to create our modern version of
Halloween involved dressing up in one way or another. The celebrators of Samhain
wore animal skins at their bonfire celebrations and those that observed "All Saints
Day" often dressed as saints or angels. Later on men in Scotland would impersonate
the dead on the day, explaining the ghoulish tradition we still observe.
During the mid 1800's, Irish and English immigrants flooded the United States
and brought Halloween with them. From these immigrants we received the Halloween
traditions we recognize today, however skewed they are now. For instance, the first
trick-or-treaters were far from today's smiling children with commercialized costumes.
They lived in Medieval England, and practiced "souling," in which poor people would
beg for sweet breads, in return for praying for the families' souls. Later, the
immigrants who brought Halloween to America would develop their own version of
trick-or-treating, but it didn't become popular here until the 1930s.
What used to be just a singular holiday with minimal things to purchase has
turned into an entire "Halloween Season." Between decorative lights and lawn
ornaments, elaborate costumes and loads of candy, the average American spends a
pretty penny on this fall holiday. However popular Halloween has become, the
recession has affected spending for this year's spooky night. Spending is down,
according the National Retail Federation.
305
Shoppers will spend an average of $56.31 on the holiday compared to $66.54 in
2008. Some ways people are cutting down include making homemade costumes, using
last year's decorations and buying less expensive candies. For the children's sake, let's
hope everyone doesn't resort to giving out apples and pennies. Didn't you just hate that
as a kid?

A Halloween used to be celebrated at the end of the summer

7. According to paragraph 2 .................... .

READING
TASK 1
Read the text below.
Match choices (A—H) to (1—5).
There are three choices you don't need to use.
Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.
TIPS ON BEING HAPPY
1. Free yourself from negative emotions such as, guilt, anger, doubt, fear,
resentment, and worry. Your goal in this area should be to constantly
examine, and then eliminate the negative emotions you find in your own
life. This is, quite possibly, the largest part of finding true happiness.
2. Imagine yourself as perfectly healthy. Good health is another huge key to
achieving true happiness. You become what you think and imagine.
Imagine yourself eating the right things, exercising, and being happy when
you look in the mirror.
3. You need to take the time to examine your past experiences in order to fully
understand your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You must learn
to forgive others and embrace all the experiences, good and bad, that have
shaped who you are today. Only then can you move forward to becoming
the best you possible.
4. A true measure of your personality is the loving and intimate relationships
you have. If you are involved in relationships you know are unhealthy, it's
time to make a change. Strive to be around people who love you, build you
up, and whom you look up to.
5. This is about living on purpose. You need a commitment to something
greater than yourself if you want to find happiness. Start thinking about
how you can use your talents, personality, and skills to make the world a
better place.

TASK 2
Read the text below.
For questions (6—10) choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D).
Write your answer on the separate answer sheet.
The Wallet is a tiny, often pocket sized tool for storing cash, and other small
articles such as credit cards, bank cards, drivers licenses, identification cards, and
other valuables such as these. Usually it is made from fabrics such as leather, or
synthetic plastics. Typically, wallets are associated with men, as most women
carry a similar object known as a purse. However, in modern day society, many
women now also carry wallets as they are smaller and often, more convenient.
Some women carry purses with wallets tucked inside of them.
Wallets were invented in the late 1600's, almost immediately after paper
currency was introduced. Paper currency was invented in Massachusetts in 1690.
Prior to this, simple purses were used to carry around metal coins. The first
wallets were generally made from cow or horse leather, and had one small pouch
for where people would place their identification cards (know then as calling
cards).
Today's modern wallet, which has many different slots for our many cards
was invented in the 1950's, because of the invention of the first credit card.
Wallets virtually remained the same throughout the 20th century, with the
exception of the Velcro wallet which was introduced in the 1970's. Late in the
20th century, in 1996, what is known as the All-ett billfold wallet was invented.
This type of wallet reduced the bulkiness of the original wallet by nearly half. In
the 21st century, wallets have evolved in many ways including numerous shapes,
sizes and color, all mostly for stylistic purposes rather than function.
Wallets are a huge hit among pick-pockets, who target people carrying
wallets in the pockets of their pants. To avoid this, some wallet owners have
chains connecting their wallets to their pants. Other wallet owners have inside
pockets on their coats, so that they can not be pick-pocketed without noticing.
Although the wallet was originally designed to carry around cash, in modern
society they are more often used for carrying credit cards. With the advanced
systems of banks and other money institutes, people feel that carrying around
cash is often unnecessary and a hassle. Some people still like to carry around
change purses, which can be convenient for small purchases where using a credit
card or bank card would be silly and wasteful.

Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.
1. …………..
Having definite objectives will help you to work towards your goals. Break them
down into smaller ones as you work towards your ultimate goals. It is much
better than having everything going round in your head and being unsure whether
you are actually carrying out your plans.
2. …………..
Keep abreast of what your competitors are doing. Many times I talk to people
who are in business and yet have no idea even of who their competitors are. Also
find out about your customers. Who are they? What and why they purchase from
you? This will help you to get more of the right type of customers.
3. …………..
On a regular basis you need to continuously review and monitor your progress
and where you are. Monitoring the progress means that if something isn't
working you can modify it immediately. This will help you to take your business
to the next level.
4. …………..
Get help from experts —use their knowledge to help you grow your business.
Recruit a PR person, a bookkeeper, an admin person etc. Check out the expert
advice and list of recommended experts contained in the Business Essentials

family, friends and of course Mums in Business.
5. …………..
We often get lost in our businesses, especially when it is new so try and take time
out for yourself on a regular basis. Treat yourself to lunch with friends, get your
hair/nails done, play golf, go shopping etc. Every one of us has the ability to
achieve our goals and dreams. So believe in yourself, believe that you can do it
and with help and support from your friends and family this is possible.

TASK 2
Read the text below.
For questions (6—10) choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D).
Write your answer on the separate answer sheet.
According to legend, Marco Polo brought the secrets of ice cream with him from
the Orient, together with a lot of other savories. There is, however, no proof of that,
although there is some evidence that the Chinese indulged in iced drinks and desserts,
which gives some weight to the Marco Polo theory.
The Chinese did, however, teach Arab traders how to combine syrups and snow,
to make an early version of the sherbet. Arab traders proceeded to show Venetians,
then Romans, how to make this frozen delight. The Emperor Nero was quite fond of
pureed fruit, sweetened with honey, and then mixed with snow - so much so that he
had special cold rooms built underneath the imperial residence in order to store snow.
In the 1500s, Catherine de Medici brought the concept of the sorbet to the French,
who were soon to make a great improvement on it.
As you must have noted, the above are frozen desserts, not ice cream. That
invention awaited the development of the custard, then the discovery that freezing it
would create a heavenly dessert. This notable event occurred in 1775 in France, and
was shortly followed by the invention of an ice cream machine, which did a much
better job of creating a light and fluffy frozen custard than beating by hand could do.
Thomas Jefferson, who imitated Nero in having a special cold room for storing
snow, provided us with the first recipe for ice cream found in the United States. Not to
be outdone, George Washington invested in one of the ice cream machines.
Until 1851, ice cream (or, more frequently, cream ice) was solely made at home.
But a daring man from Baltimore, named Jacob Fussell changed all that by opening
the first ice cream factory.
Near the turn of the century, the ice cream soda was created, although by who
seems to be in question - either James W. Tuff or Robert Green. It does seem to have
been done by accident, however, a scoop of ice cream falling in a glass of flavored
soda water. At any rate, the drink became a national craze, and many a girl and boy
went courting over an ice cream soda. So many, in fact, that many municipalities
passed laws forbidding the sale of soda water on Sunday. Quickly afterwards, the
'sundae' was invented - it contained ice cream, syrup, and whipped cream of the soda,
but without the evil influence of soda water. Numerous variations existed.
The next ice cream craze came with the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in
Saint Louis. Charles Menches was doing a lively business selling scoops of ice cream
in dishes, all the way up to the point that he ran out of dishes. Frustrated, but
determined to still find a way to make a profit, he lighted upon his friend Ernest
Hamwi, who was selling a wafer-like cookie called zalabia (a Syrian treat). The
combination proved irresistible.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE
In 1851 Great Britain was arguably the leader of the industrial revolution and
feeling very secure in that ideal. The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London was
conceived to symbolize this industrial, military and economic superiority of Great
Britain. Just representing the feats of Britain itself would have excluded many of the
technological achievements pioneered by the British in its many colonies and
protectorates, so it was decided to make the j exhibit truly international with
invitations being extended to almost all of the colonized world. Many people felt
secure, economically and politically, and Queen Victoria was eager to reinforce the
feeling of contentment with her reign. It was during the mid-1850's that the word
"Victorian" began to be employed to express a new self-consciousness, both in
relation ; to the nation and to the period through which it was passing.
The Great Exhibition was held in Hyde Park in London in the specially
constructed Crystal Palace. It was originally designed by Sir Joseph Paxton in only 10
days and was a huge iron goliath with over a million feet of glass. Over 13,000
exhibits were displayed and viewed by over 6,200,000 visitors to the exhibition. The
millions of visitors that journeyed to the Great Exhibition of 1851 marvelled at the
industrial revolution that was propelling Britain into the greatest power of the time.
The objects on display came from all parts of the world, including India and the
countries with recent white settlements, such as Australia and New Zealand that
constituted the new empire. Many of the visitors who flocked to London came from
European cities. The profits from the event allowed for the foundation of public works
such as the Albert Hall, the Science Museum, the National History Museum and the
Victoria and Albert Museum.

Exercise 7
In the 1950s people were richer and
teenagers spent a lot of money on
clothes. For men this was the age of
the teddy boy. Teddy boys wore long
jackets in very bright colours - pink,
orange or yellow -and very tight
trousers called 'drainpipes'. For wom-
en jumpers with wide skirts and short
sockets were the fashion. Both men
and women wore shoes with long
pointed toes. The women's shoes had
high stiletto heels.
In the late 1960s and the early
70s the hippy 'flower power1
style was in. Women wore
loose maxi-dresses. Men
wore jeans and brightly
coloured shirts or T-shirts.
Clothes were very colourful.
Very long hair was fash-
ionable for men and women,
and beards became more
common (but only for men)
Before the First World War
fashions did not change
very quickly. Men wore
dark suits. They had short
hair and moustaches were
popular. Women wore long
dresses and they had long
hair. Under their dresses
they wore stiff corsets.
These gave women a very
narrow waist, but they were
very uncomfortable.
The 80s brought teenagers with punk
hairstyles in red, blue, purple and
green, and brightly coloured makeup
The-1960s saw a revolution
in clothes. Everything
changed. This was the time of
the mini-skirt and long boots.
For the first time in the
twentieth century men had
long hair the famous Beatle
haircut.
In the 1930s and 40s hair,
dresses and coats became
longer again. Men's fashion
didn't change very much.
Men wore a suit, a tie and
usually a hat, too.
Moustaches were less
popular.
In the Roaring Twenties dresses and hair became much shorter. People saw women's
knees for the first time! Corsets disappeared. A straight figure with no waist or bust
was fashionable. For men, trousers with very wide legs became fashionable. They
were called Oxford bags.
In the 1990s people.....
The beginning of the 21 century was marked by...
