III. Shortly after the war my friend returned to England after working abroad most of his life as a doctor. He decided to retire to the country, where he bought himself a small cottage. The cottage was in quite good condition, except for the roof, which leaked rather badly when it rained hard. But my friend who had led an adventurous life, did not seem to mind that. Not so long after he had moved in, one of his nephews came down to visit him, without even sending a letter to warn him that he was coming. As his nephews car drew up drew up outside his gate, my friend saw it from the kitchen window, and for a moment he wondered if he should pretend to be out. He had a good idea what his nephew wanted: he was going to try to borrow some money. In spite of the fact that the cottage was not very comfortable, my friend's nephew decided to stay for two or three weeks. As they sat round the fire after supper, my friend told his nephew about some of the exciting adventures he had had abroad. He was just in the middle of one of his stories when there was a tremendous crash upstairs. They both rushed up to the bedroom, where a strange sight met their eyes: part of the ceiling had collapsed on to the bed where the young man was going to sleep.

IV. One day Mr and Mrs Brown went up to London to do some shopping. They had a busy day, though in the end they did not buy very much, and by about four o'clock they were both looking forward to having a cup of tea. They found a restaurant, but just before they went in, Mrs Brown remembered that she had to buy some medicine for their son who had a bad cough. While she was in the chemist's, her husband noticed a bookshop on the other side of the street. He went across to have a look in the window and saw a copy of a novel which had wanted to buy for a long time. So he went in and bought the book. After they had had their cup of tea, they caught the train hack to the seaside town where they lived. When they were in their compartment they met their neighbour who noticed the book that Mr Brown had bought. As he opened the book his eyes lit up. He asked Mr Brown how much he had paid for the book. Mr Brown told him: only a few shillings. The man said that he was very lucky: the book was a rare edition and was worth several pounds. A Write down whether the following statements are true or false. 1. The Browns bought a lot of things in London. 2. Mr Brown bought his book by chance. 3. Mr Brown showed his neighbour the book he had bought. 4. The book was worth much more than Mr Brown had paid for it. В Answer the following questions. 1. Why did Mrs Brown go to the chemist's? 2.

FORM 8 Read these texts and questions below. For each question, mark the letter next to the correct answer - A, 8, or C. I. Violent storms cause damage and deaths all over the world, but sometimes people make the consequences worse. For example too many people living in dangerous areas can turn a storm into a disaster. In Bangladesh, the flat river valley often floods. In the past, there were few people in that area and they could escape to higher land. Now, millions of people live there and they cannot escape when there are floods. Sometimes, too, there is more damage than necessary because people do not build homes that are safe or strong enough. This was a case when a terrible storm hit southern Florida. Many people died or lost their homes because the wind blew away poorly-made buildings. When summer brings very hot weather, many people suffer more than they need to. There are a number of ways to make life more comfortable in the heat. First of all you could try to make your home as cool as possible. It's best to close your windows and curtains during the hottest part of the day. It is also important to keep yourself cool by wearing light, loose clothes. Scientists believe that the earth's climate may be warming up. This trend probably began thousands years ago. Many areas of the earth used to be covered with ice that has now melted. However in recent years the warming trend has speeded up. 1. What influences the damage during natural disasters? A Poor housing conditions. В Warm climate. С Inefficiency of rescue teams. 2. What should people do at the time of the heat wave? A Leave the city. В Drink more water. С Adapt themselves and their houses to the heat. 3. What do scientists believe? A It has become warmer. В Warming up can't be stopped. С Warming up began hundred years ago.

II. The \"idea box\" is a useful concept in management. It was first introduced in the early 20lh century by Kodak in the United States and Michelin in France. The managers of these companies used idea boxes to collect suggestions from employees about improving production. Today the idea box today is not used much in the United States or Europe. However it is used a lot in Japan. Japanese managers have found it to be a very valuable resource. Employees often know more than managers about the details of production. In the long run, their suggestions can make real difference to the company. Employees who offer useful ideas may receive extra money in their paycheck. In a recent study, researchers interviewed 1,500 business managers in the United Sates. They asked all kinds of questions about the managers' habits and opinions regarding their work. The researchers learnt that only 33% of the managers worked 40-45 hours. The majority of them (57%) worked from 46-60 hours a week and 6% worked over 60 hours. Only 2 of the managers said they fell satisfied and had enough time to do everything. The rest of the managers said they did not have enough time for their families and hobbies. At present, some managers spend much of their working time at home, especially those who work a lot on computers. There are many advantages of working at home, including more flexible hours and better productivity. \"Home managers\" also save time and money they would have spent on transportation. 1. Where are the idea boxes popular? A In America. В In Europe. С In Asia. 2. What did the recent study show? A Managers overwork. В Managers work as much as other categories of employees. С Managers do not work much. 3. Where do some managers work? A In the office. В At home. С In transport.

III. People who are looking for outdoor adventure often go to Maine. This state in the northeastern United States contains large areas of wilderness. There you can enjoy a new and exciting sport: white water rafting. In the past, this sport was practiced only in western states. But now, several out door travel companies offer weekend rafting trips. They provide guide service, equipment, end even food and they invite people who have had no experience at all. Thus, city residents, too, can get a taste of wilderness. All they need to bring with them is a desire for adventure. \"White water\" is the water of a river when it moves very fast over rocky areas. As the water fills with air bubbles, it looks white. The areas of white water are also the most exciting areas for rafters — and also the most dangerous. In fact, rafting guides must always be on the look for white water. For that reason, rafters should always wear special life vests that will keep them afloat. Rafting is a sport that almost anyone can do. It does not require great physical strength. Sometimes, at very rocky parts of the river, rafters will need to walk for a while. But the main activity is simply to enjoy the wonderful scenery. Most rafting companies offer overnight trips that combine with camping. This kind of trip is ideal for a family with children over twelve. 1. What people can go to Maine? A People who like to do camping. В People who enjoy travelling. С People who are looking for adventure. 2. Who can do white water rafting? A People with special skills. В Well-trained sportsmen. С Any person. 3. What does white water rafting require? A Physical strength В Special equipment С An ability to enjoy nature

IV. Hundreds of different species of plants and animals have arrived in the United States. This number has increased greatly as international travel and business have increased. Some of these new \"residents\" have caused problems for agriculture or for the environment. The Mediterranean fruit fly, for example, arrived in California on some imported fruit in the 1970s. In its original home in the Mediterranean area, it had never caused much damage. In California, however, it multiplied very quickly. Soon the California fruit industry was in trouble. The government had to take serious measures, including using lots of chemicals to try to kill the flies. However, they have not managed to get rid of the fly altogether. Another example of an animal that has recently settled in North America is the zebra mussel. This small shellfish was first discovered in the Great Lakes in 1986. It may have come over from Russia on a cargo ship. In a very few years zebra mussels had spread over all the Great Lakes and in to many important rivers. They have grown into thick masses, covering many areas of lakes or river bottoms. They have also cov- ered and closed up pipes for power stations and water treatment centres. Government officials say that the mussels have caused many millions of dollars worth of damage. Sometimes the damage caused by an immigrant species is not measurable in dollars. It may not harm us directly, but it may change the environment. And that may cause problems for the plants or animals that were living there before. 1. What caused problems for agriculture? A A change of the climate. В Overpopulation. С Different species of animals and plants that came from other countries. 2. What did zebra mussel cause? A It affected other animals. В It affected the plants. С It polluted the cleaning systems. 3. How do immigrant species damage environment? A They bring about diseases. В They change it. C They ruin it.
