B 2 Установите соответствие между заголовками 1-8 и текстами А-G.

Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз.
В задании один заголовок лишний.

1. Future rescuers 5. Discredited myth

2. Origin of the superstition 6. Distress call
3. Risky sport 7. Visible obstacle
4. Oldest creatures 8. Significant difference

A. ‘When men first flew in space, they were amazed to discover that the only men-made
object visible from orbit was the Great Wall of China.’ This is a nice idea, but it’s not
true. The Great Wall is mostly grey stone in a grey landscape and, in fact, is very
difficult to see even from an airplane flying at a mere 15 kilometres above.
B. The term ‘Mayday’ is an internationally recognized radio signal which is only used
when a ship is in great danger and needs help immediately. The signal is transmitted
on a wavelength of 2.182 kHz, which is permanently monitored by rescue services on
the shore. The use of this expression has a very straightforward explanation. It came
from the French phrase ‘m’aidez’, which means ‘help me’.
C. In 1700, Henri Mission, a Frenchman visiting Britain, asked villagers why they had
horseshoes nailed above their doors. They said it was to keep witches away.
Horseshoes are made of iron and the strength of the iron was thought to protect from
evil. Still today they are thought to bring good luck and many brides carry silver ones
at their weddings. The position of the horseshoe is very important. It must point
upwards like a cup so that the luck cannot fall out.
D. Women generally live about six years longer than men. Evidence suggests that boys
are the weaker sex at birth, which means that more die in infancy. Also women do not
have as much heart disease as men. In terms of lifestyle, men smoke more than
women and thus more die of smoking-related diseases. Also, they generally have
more dangerous occupations, such as building work.
E. Scientists say that rats can help look for earthquake survivors buried in the ruined
buildings. Dogs are already used to search for people, but rats can be even more
useful. Like dogs they’ve got a great sense of smell, but scientists still need to train
rats to sniff out people and to carry special radio transmitters to let them know when
the survivor is found. Rats may also be trained to find bombs or explosives.
F. Dinosaurs roared for about 150 million years before they disappeared. We, humans,
have only been around for about 2 million years. But cockroaches are 350 million
 years old and still going strong! Cockroaches can survive in extreme conditions. They
can be frozen, then thawed, and walk away as if nothing had happened. They can go
for incredibly long time without eating anything. And that is the secret of their
success!
G. Founded in 1980, base jumping grew out of skydiving. But base jumping is much more
dangerous than skydiving that is why it is banned in many countries. Legal jumps now
happen on specific days and from approved structures. However, like other extreme sports,
it’s the risk of disaster that makes base jumping so exciting.

It was during a radar-related research project around 1946 that Dr. Percy Spencer,
while working for Raytheon Corporation, noticed that a candy bar in his pocket melted
during the testing of a new vacuum tube called a magnetron. This intrigued Dr. Spencer,
A _______________ . This time he placed some popcorn kernels near the tube and
watched B _______________ .
The next morning Spencer decided to put the magnetron tube near an egg.
Spencer and a colleague both watched C _______________ . Spencer’s colleague
moved in for a closer look just as the egg splattered yolk all over his face. Dr. Spencer
concluded that if you can cook an egg that quickly, D _______________ . He began
experimenting. Dr. Spencer enclosed the food to be cooked in a metal box that he fed
the microwaves into. He had invented what was to revolutionize cooking and form the
basis of a multimillion dollar industry – the microwave oven.
In 1947, Raytheon demonstrated the world’s first microwave oven and called it a
Radarange. The first microwave ovens cost between $ 2,000 and $ 3,000. Around 1952 –
55, Tappan introduced the first home model priced at $ 1295. In 1967 Raytheon owned
Amana Refrigeration introduced the first countertop microwave oven, E
_______________ .
By 1975, sales of microwave ovens had, for the first time, exceeded those of gas
ranges. In 1976, the microwave oven became a more commonly owned kitchen
appliance than the dishwasher, F _______________ . America’s cooking habits were
being dramatically changed by the convenience of the microwave oven. Once considered
a luxury, the microwave oven has developed into a practical necessity for a fast-paced
world of today.

The Slate Quarry

Bethesda used to be at the heart of the Welsh slate industry. The famous dark
blue-green stone, used for roof and floor tiles, had been exported all over the world
during the 19th century. The nearby quarry, now deserted, had been the world’s biggest
at nearly a mile long and 1,200 feet deep. It was a spectacular sight, a man-made Grand
Canyon. The area still provided a source of income for the residents of Bethesda, as
numerous outdoor activity centres had been set up around the town.
David’s speciality was rock-climbing. Climbing had become more popular recently,
along with other so-called ‘extreme sports’. David believed this was because of
television. The advanced cameras used by the television companies could show
spectacular images of hang-gliders taking off from the tops of mountains or climbers
hanging from a cliff by their fingertips. David worried that these sports, which actually
required years of dedicated practice, were shown as being deceptively easy. Annoyingly,
because of this, he had to spend the first morning of each course lecturing the
participants on the dangers involved.
North Wales is one of the most beautiful regions of Britain. However, it rains
regularly, even throughout the summer. Slate becomes dangerously slippery in the rain,
and David made sure that his climbers used safety ropes and harnesses at all times. That
day he was leading a group of seven teenagers from a town near London. As he tried to
demonstrate the equipment, they continually mocked his accent and whispered to one
another. At times, David muttered angrily to himself in his native Welsh language,
knowing that they wouldn’t understand a word.
The three girls in the group had soon understood the technical procedures and
David was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked as a team. The boys were a
different kettle of fish entirely. They argued over who would go first and then over who
had done the best. By the time David and the boys returned to the quarry floor, they
were running almost an hour late. David announced that they were going back to the
hostel immediately, despite loud complaints from the girls. The original plan had been to
stop off in the town for a bit of shopping on the way back.
 David was too irritated to argue, and stormed off towards the hostel. He phoned
a couple of friends, in an attempt to drown out the teenagers’ complaining. Suddenly,
one of the boys was pulling at his arm. ‘Sir, Sir! The girls, Sir, they’ve run off!’ The girls, it
seemed, had decided to arrange their own shopping trip. David was immediately
gripped by a sense of panic. It was easy to get lost in these hills, and now it was
beginning to get dark.
As the group marched on, the weather steadily worsened. Within minutes a light
drizzle had turned into driving rain, which didn’t surprise David at all. He knew that one
minute the sun could be shining in these hills and the next the sky could be covered with
big, black clouds. He had no choice but to alert the Mountain Rescue Team.
David tried to prepare himself for the inevitable questioning, and of course the
deserved criticism. He spoke to the operator in Welsh as the boys looked on. Suddenly,
David sighed with relief. The operator had informed him that the girls were safe and
well. They had already reached the town centre safely and had stopped a policeman to
ask where to catch the bus back to the hostel.

A15 The writer tells us that the residents of the town of Bethesda

1) couldn’t survive without the slate industry.

2) were starting to move away from the area.
3) now arranged sight-seeing trips around the slate quarry.
4) were continuing to benefit from the slate quarry.

A16 David suggests that his job had been made more challenging because of

1) the higher numbers of people in his classes now.

2) the way the media presented extreme sports.
3) the new, stricter safety rules he had to follow.
4) the very difficult climbs around Bethesda.

A17 David got annoyed while teaching the teens because

1) they were making fun of him.

2) they didn’t seem to understand him.
3) the weather was so wet and miserable.
4) they didn’t follow his safety instructions.

A18 David cancelled the shopping trip because

1) the boys’ bad behavior had wasted too much time.

2) he was fed up of the girls’ complaining.
3) the boys didn’t want to go shopping.
4) he hadn’t finished the teens’ lesson.

A19 David didn’t notice the girls leave because

1) they had told him they were going back to the hostel.
2) he had decided not to pay attention to them for a while.
3) the sun was setting and it was difficult to see anything.
 4) he was busy helping some of the boys.

A20 The weather in the area was generally

1) very wet.
2) mild.
3) severe.
4) unpredictable.

A21 In the final paragraph, the writer suggests that David

1) was more angry about the incident than worried.

2) was surprised the girls were found so quickly.
3) thought people would say the incident was his fault.
4) wished he hadn’t phoned the Mountain Rescue Team.

Mentoring
Many adults in America and increasing numbers elsewhere take part in mentoring
schemes. A
mentor is an adult who provides support and friendship to a young person. There are
numerous
different A22 ___________ of mentoring: passing on skills, sharing experiences, offering
guidance. Sometimes the most helpful thing to do is just listen. Mentoring is open to
anybody –
 no particular A23 __________ experience is required, just a desire to make a difference

people
find they have a real A24 __________ for it.
The support of a mentor can play an important A25 ___________ in a child’s
development
and can often make up for a lack of guidance in a young person’s life. It can also improve
young people’s A26 ___________ towards society and build up their confidence in
dealing with
life’s challenges. For the mentor, it can be incredibly rewarding to know that they have
had a
significant A27 ___________ on a child and helped to give them the best possible
chance in
