LIGHTER SUITCASE 1..Package holidays, which include flights and hotel accommodation in the same booking, have been popular for several decades. Recently, however, a new type of package holiday has been introduced: the 'all-inclusive' package. Many holidaymakers, particularly those with families or those on a limited budget, are attracted by all-inclusive holidays. This is because all meals, drinks and snacks such as ice creams, as well as flights and accommodation, are included in the price. 2. The Isles of Scilly, off the south-west coast of Cornwall in the UK, are a popular tourist destination. Many of the visitors to the islands arrive in their own boats, cither from Cornwall or from the north coast of France. Those without a boat have a range of options for getting mere. There are daily flights from Plymouth and Newquay airports, and a helicopter flies several times a day from Penzance. The ferry Sciuonian III is also based in Penzance, sailing to the islands once a day, and twice on Sundays. 3.If you're going on a trip and are unsure what and how much to pack, follow this simple rule. Get everything that you could possibly want to take with you ready. Then, when you've made a big pile, put half of it back. Be strict with yourself! People always take too much with them when they travel - clothes they won't wear, toiletries they won't use. Carrying heavy bags is never fun, so don't take too much with you! 4.Bicycles are not just used for recreation. In Britain, thousands of postmen and women deliver the mail each day by bike as it's much quicker than walking. In towns and cities with traffic problems, such as Los Angeles in the USA, a bike is often the quickest way for a police officer to move around. In India, bicycles are often used to deliver lunch to shop and office workers. At large airports in Germany, it's quite common to see airport workers riding around on bikes. 5.On long flights, it's important not to sit still for too long, as this can be bad for your health. A good exercise for your hands is to squeeze a tennis ball - or even a pair of socks if you haven't got a tennis ball ten or fifteen times. For your feet, take your shoes off and put your feet on the floor. Raise your toes as high as possible and hold them there for about five seconds. Repeat the exercise until your toes get tired. 6.Not long ago, if you wanted to book a plane ticket or a package holiday, you had no choice - you had to go to a travel agent's. The Internet has changed that, however, and now flights and trips can be booked in the comfort of your own home. It's often cheaper, quicker and more convenient to book tickets online, but you do need a credit card. If you want to pay by cash or cheque, you still have to make that visit to the high street. 7.Travelling can be dangerous because things can always go wrong. And if you have an accident in a moving vehicle, the result can be terrible. However, travelling is much safer than it was, say, fifty years ago. This is thanks to the thousands of men and women who have worked hard to improve safety, by inventing and developing things such as seatbelts and airbags, and making cars, planes, trains and ships stronger and safer. Millions of people are alive today because of them

Занесите букву, обозначающую соответствующую часть предложения, в таблицу. Can you think of a place on Earth that isn't part of a particular country? There are very few. One of them is Antarctica. Antarctica is a frozen continent 1. In the middle of Antarctica lies the Geographic South Pole, 2. In the winter, Antarctica is one of the most inhospitable places in the world. It's dark for almost 24 hours a day, and temperatures can reach as low as -70 C. The only people who live on Antarctica in the winter are scientists, 3. Much of this research helps us understand climate change and global warming, 4. Because Antarctica isn't a country, though, the scientists don't need to show anyone their passport when they arrive! In the summer, conditions are much better. It's warmer, and in parts of Antarctica it's only dark for about four hours each night. Because of this, and because it's such a fascinating place, many tourists now visit the continent each year. They come on cruise ships, usually from South America, and spend a week or two 5. If you go on a cruise to Antarctica, make sure you see the stunning and enormous icebergs in Paradise Harbour. You should also visit the Dry Valleys, which are near the South Magnetic Pole. There's no snow or ice in the Dry Valleys, and it hasn't rained there 6! Expect to see lots of penguins too. If you visit Zavodovski Island you'll see quite a few several million, in fact! Test 8 A. which is the southernmost point in the world B. who was the first person to reach the South Pole С which covers an area of more than 14 million square kilometres D. so it's extremely important work E. for more than two million years F. who endure the extreme conditions in order to do their research G. seeing the amazing sights on offer Задание 4 Reading TEST 13.

When they first saw the dog, they weren't sure, in fact, that it was a dog. A small pile of rubbish by the side of the litter bin began to move. Verity and Sally, walking past on their way to the beach, both jumped back, expecting a rat to emerge from the litter. What they saw instead was the back end of a small brown dog, which seemed to be connected to a plastic bag. They both let out shrieks of delight. 'Oh, it's a puppy!' cried Verity, and bent down to release the dog's head from the plastic bag. The dog looked up at them with ketchup on its face. Now that they could see the whole animal, it was clear that it was not quite as young as Verity had thought at first sight. It carried one or two scars of life on the streets - it had a cut below one eye and one ear seemed to be permanently at an angle - but on the whole it was not in bad health for a stray dog. Its coat was shiny and you couldn't see its ribs under die skin, like you could with many dogs in a similar position. Judging by the litter bin, visitors to the beach were a good source of chips, hot dogs and hamburgers without knowing it. The dog sat. looking up at the girls with its tongue hanging out as it panted. 'Come on,' said Verity. 'Let's take him down to the beach!' Sally hesitated a moment before agreeing. She could see where it 2

3 was leading. Her father always told her to walk away from a stray animal because there was a danger you would want to keep it. Then it would be harder when you actually did have to walk away. However, she couldn't deny that die dog was cute, so she was pleased when it trotted along behind them on the way to the beach. They spread their towels on the beach and got sun cream out of their bags. When they turned round, the dog had settled on one of the towels as if he owned the place. He seemed glad of the opportunity to rest and Verity could imagine the constant battle he faced each day to survive. Apart from the search for food and shelter, which perhaps were less of a problem here than they would have been in the city centre, there was the competition from other dogs. This dog must be pretty smart, she decided, to survive against the others because he certainly wouldn't win too many fights, even if his injuries showed that he didn't give up easily. They spent the day lazing in the sun, swimming and playing beach tennis. The dog joined in after resting for a while. To the casual observer, it would have looked like two girls and their dog playing together. Sally knew, however, that that wasn't the case and she was dreading the moment when they would have to leave. Eventually, the sun began to set and it got cooler. Verity stared at the sun, as if willing it to stay in the sky for another hour. She avoided looking at Sally and didn't seem to notice Sally looking at her watch. Verity stroked the dog, which was lying on the towel next to her. Sally knew that they couldn't put it off any longer. 'It's probably time we were getting back,' she said at last. Verity turned round and Sally saw tears running down her face. The dog looked from one of them to the other and waited. 1. Verity and Sally's first reaction is 1) amusement at the dog's appearance. 2) worry about the dog's condition. 3) fright at what might be under the rubbish. 4) curiosity at the dog's behaviour. 2. The dog seems to be 1) in good condition despite its injuries. 2) in a worse state than most stray dogs. 3) rather overweight for its size. 4) in urgent need of medical attention. 3. It seems that people who go to this beach 1) enjoy feeding die stray dogs. 2) are careless with their rubbish. 3) throw a lot of food away. 4) don't know they are harming the dogs. 4. Sally doesn't immediately agree to take the dog to the beach because 1) they don't have a lead to put on the dog to control it. 2) her father stops her from doing what she wants to do. 3) she thinks the dog might be dangerous, in spite of his appearance. 4) she doesn't want to form a relationship with the dog. 5. Verity thinks that the dog 1) needs their help to avoid the other dogs. 2) is a coward when it comes to fighting other dogs. 3) is more attractive than the other dogs. 4) uses his brains to beat the other dogs. 6. The girls don't want to leave the beach because 1) they think the dog will be attacked. 2) they want to sunbathe for another hour. 3) they want people to think it's their dog. 4) they are trying to delay leaving the dog. 7. Sally feels uncomfortable because 1) she and Verity have argued about the dog. 2) she thinks that someone is watching diem. 3) she knows that leaving the dog will be hard. 4) she wants to get rid of the dog without Verity knowing.
