 1. A group of university students from Brazil have been given the job of
 discovering and locating all the waterfalls in their country. It is not easy
 because very often the maps are not detailed. The students have to remain in
 water for long periods of time. Every day they cover a distance of 35 to 40
 kilometers through the jungle, each carrying 40 kilos of equipment.
 
 2. For many years now, mail-order shopping has served the needs of a certain
 kind of customers. Everything they order from a catalogue is delivered to their
 door. Now, though, e-mail shopping on the Internet has opened up even more
 opportunities for this kind of shopping.
 
 3. Another generation of computer fans has arrived. They are neither spotty
 schoolchildren nor intellectual professors, but pensioners who are learning
 computing with much enthusiasm. It is particularly interesting for people
 suffering from arthritis as computers offer a way of writing nice clear letters.
 Now pensioners have discovered the Internet and at the moment they make up
 the fastest growing membership.
 
 4. Shopping centres are full of all kinds of stores. They are like small, self-
 contained towns where you can find everything you want. In a large centre,
 shoppers can find everything they need without having to go anywhere else.
 They can leave their cars in the shopping centre car park and buy everything in
 a covered complex, protected from the heat, cold or rain.
 
 5. Not many people know that, back in the fifties, computers were very big, and
 also very slow. They took up complete floors of a building, and were less
 powerful, and much slower than any of today’s compact portable computers. At
 first, the data they had to process and record was fed in on punched-out paper;
 later magnetic tape was used, but both systems were completely inconvenient.
 
6. Potholing is a dull name for a most interesting and adventurous sport. Deep
underground, on the tracks of primitive men and strange animals who have
adapted to life without light, finding unusual landscapes and underground lakes,
the potholer lives an exciting adventure. You mustn’t forget, though, that it can
be quite dangerous. Without the proper equipment you can fall, get injured or
lost.
 
7. Substantial remains of an octagonal Roman bath house, probably reused as a
Christian baptistry, have been uncovered during a student training excavation
near Faversham in Kent. The central cold plunge pool was five metres across,
and stood within a structure which also had underfloor heating and hot pools,
probably originally under a domed roof.

  Before the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, scientists thought they
 knew the universe. They were wrong.
 The Hubble Space Telescope has changed many scientists’ view of the
 universe. The telescope is named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble,
 1 _______________________.
 He established that many galaxies exist and developed the first system for their
 classifications.
 In many ways, Hubble is like any other telescope. It simply gathers light.
 It is roughly the size of a large school bus. What makes Hubble special is not
 what it is, 2 _______________________.
 Hubble was launched in 1990 from the “Discovery” space shuttle and it is
 about 350 miles above our planet, 3 _______________________.
 It is far from the glare of city lights, it doesn’t have to look through the air,
 4 _______________________.
 And what a view it is! Hubble is so powerful it could spot a fly on the moon.
 Yet in an average orbit, it uses the same amount of energy as 28 100-watt
 light bulbs. Hubble pictures require no film. The telescope takes digital images
 5 _______________________.
 Hubble has snapped photos of storms on Saturn and exploding stars. Hubble
 doesn’t just focus on our solar system. It also peers into our galaxy and beyond.
 Many Hubble photos show the stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. A
 galaxy is a city of stars.
 Hubble cannot take pictures of the sun or other very bright objects,
 because doing so could “fry” the telescope’s instruments, but it can detect
 infrared and ultra violet light 6 _______________________.
 Some of the sights of our solar system that Hubble has glimpsed may even
 change the number of planets in it.
 
 A. which is above Earth’s atmosphere.
 B. which are transmitted to scientists on Earth.
 C. which is invisible to the human eye.
 D. who calculated the speed at which galaxies move.
 E. so it has a clear view of space.
 F. because many stars are in clouds of gas.
 G. but where it is.

Прочитайте рассказ и выполните задания А15 – А21. В каждом задании
обведите цифру 1, 2, 3 или 4, соответствующую выбранному вами
варианту ответа.
 Sometimes my father scares me. He can tackle something he knows
nothing about, and nine times out of ten, it will come out all right. It’s pure
luck, of course, but try convincing him. “Frame of Mind,” he says. “Just
believe you can do a thing, and you’ll do it.” “Anything?” I asked. “Some day
your luck will run out. Then see what good your Frame of Mind will do,” I
said.
 Believe me, I am not just being a smart alec. It so happens that I have
actually tried Frame of Mind myself. The first time was the year I went all out
to pass the civics final. I had to go all out, on account of I had not cracked a
book all year. I really crammed, and all the time I was cramming I was
concentrating on Frame of Mind. Just believe you can do a thing – sure. I made
the lowest score in the history of Franklin High. “Thirty-three percent,” I said,
showing my father the report card. “There’s your Frame of Mind for you.” He
put it on the table without looking at it. “You have to reach a certain age and
understanding,” he explained. “That’s the key to Frame of Mind.” “Yeah?
What does a guy do in the meantime?” “Maybe you should study. Some kids
learn a lot that way.”
 That was my first experience with Frame of Mind. My latest one was for
a promotion at the Austin Clothing Store. Jim Watson had a slightly better
sales record and was more knowledgeable and skillful. Me, I had Frame of
Mind. Jim Watson got the job. Did this convince my father? It did not. To
convince him, something had to happen. To him, I mean. Something did
happen, too, at the Austin Clothing Store. My father works there, too. What
happened was that Mr Austin paid good money for a clever Easter window
display. It’s all set up and we’re about to draw the curtain when we discover
the display lights won’t work. I can see Mr Austin growing pale. He is thinking
of the customers that could go right by his store in the time it will take him to
get hold of an electrician.
 This is when my father comes on the scene. “Is something the matter?”
he says. “Oh, hello, Louis,” Mr Austin says. He calls my father “Louis.” Me,
Joe Conklin – one of his best salesmen – he hardly knows. My father, a stock
clerk, he calls “Louis.” Life isn’t always fair. “These darned lights won’t
work.” “H’mm, I see,” my father says. “Maybe I can be of service.” From
inside his pocket comes a screwdriver. Mr Austin looks at him. “Can you help
us, Louis?” “No, he cannot,” I volunteer. “You think he’s Thomas Edison?” I
don’t intend to say that. It just slips out. “Young man, I was addressing your
father,” Mr Austin says, giving me a cold hard look. My father touches
something with his screwdriver and the display lights go on.
 What happened next was that the big safe in Mr Austin’s office got
jammed shut with all our paychecks in it. From nowhere comes my father. “Is
something the matter?” he says. “The safe, Louis,” Mr Austin is saying. “It

 won’t open, I was going to send for you.” “H’mm, I see,” my father says. “Can
 you help us, Louis?” Mr Austin inquires. I start to say he cannot, but I stop
 myself. If my father wants to be a clown, that’s his business. “What is the
 combination of this safe?” my father says. Mr Austin whispers the combination
 in my father’s ear. Armed with the combination, he starts twirling the knob. I
 can’t believe it: grown men and women standing hypnotized, expecting that
 safe door to open. And while they stand there, the safe door opens.
 “Go ahead, say it was luck, my opening the safe today,” my father says.
 “OK,” I reply. Then I tell him what I saw in the faces of those people in Mr
 Austin’s office: confidence and trust and respect. “The key to Frame of Mind is
 you have to use it to give support to those who need it when there’s no one else
 to save the situation. Otherwise it will not work.”
 
A15 The narrator thought that his father
 1) believed that he was the luckiest man in the world.
 2) was a knowledgeable and highly qualified man.
 3) succeeded in almost everything he did.
 4) didn’t mind being called a lucky man.
 
 
A16 In paragraph 2 “I had to go all out” means that the narrator had to
 1) take the civics examination one more time.
 2) take the civics examination in a different school.
 3) try as hard as he could to prepare for the exam.
 4) find somebody to help him pass the exam.
 
 
A17 They didn't promote the narrator because he had
 1) proved less successful than Jim.
 2) sold few records.
 3) no Frame of Mind.
 4) not reached the promotion age.
 
 
A18 Mr Austin was in despair because
 1) the curtain wouldn’t draw open.
 2) he couldn’t find an electrician.
 3) the display had cost him a lot of money.
 4) he was likely to lose some customers.

 1) proud of his Dad.
  2) hopeful of his Dad.
 3) jealous of his Dad.
 4) sorry for his Dad.
 
 
A20 The narrator was sure that
 1) his Dad would open the safe.
 2) his Dad knew nothing about safes.
 3) Mr. Austin wanted to make fun of his Dad.
  4) Mr. Austin had sent for his Dad to open the safe.

 2) ready to help other people.
 3) a lucky person.
 4) respectful and trustful.
