Ideas on sale A. Born in 1743, Thomas Jefferson helped shape the new American nation and also shaped some of the country's most famous buildings. The twentieth century architects who designed the circular Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C. drew inspiration from Thomas Jefferson's architectural ideas. And from where did Jefferson get his ideas? The Pantheon in Rome! This building with its classical portico became a model that influenced Western architecture for 2,000 years. B. Postmodern architecture evolved from the modernist movement, yet contradicts many of the modernist ideas. Combining new ideas with traditional forms, postmodernist buildings may startle, surprise, and even amuse. Familiar shapes and details are used in unexpected ways. Philip Johnson's AT&T Headquarters is often cited as an example of postmodernism. Like many buildings in the international style, this skyscraper has a classical facade. C. The Industrial Revolution in Europe brought about a new trend: the use of metals instead of wood and stone in construction.

The metal latticework, formed with very pure structural iron, makes the tower both extremely light and able to withstand tremendous wind forces. D. By the early 1800s, Belfast had become a major port at the beating heart of the region's industry.

Many more impressive ships would leave the yard in the coming years before the decline of the shipbuilding industry began in the 1950s, but the Titanic marked the zenith of the great shipbuilding era in Belfast /9

3 E. Thomas Andrews was the chief naval architect at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast during the early 1900s. He brought the idea of 'Olympic class' ocean liners to life. The most famous of these was Titanic, which he joined on its first voyage. His actions when the ship sank on 15 April 1912 are believed to have saved many lives, but at the cost of his own. In his home town of Comber, the life of Thomas Andrews is commemorated by the Memorial Hall, opened in F. An e-book or "electronic book" is available digitally downloaded, and accessed through a device such as a computer, a smart phone or, popularly, a portable e-book reader. In 1971, Michael Hart began storing vast contents of libraries in electronic formats. Hart named his efforts Project Gutenberg, after the inventor of the printing press. Libraries were early adopters of the technology. But it took nearly thirty years for the idea of the e-book to take firm hold with the consumer. G.

Even before reading became available to the general public, stories were told around campfires, passed down from generation to generation. First of all, stories are a good way to escape from your ordinary life, to get immersed in another world, if only for a little time. While reading, you can imagine yourself in different situations B, but in the moment that doesn t matter. Whether you re suffering from depression or are just bored, reading is a great distraction. Similarly, another reason people are attracted to stories, is because they are lonely, very often they feel as if they are the only ones in the world C. Identifying with a fictional character can make a big difference in helping a person understand D. Other people read because it can be a good way to relax. It can be very nice to sit down and enjoy a good plot unfold, to watch the actions of fictional characters from the side, and to see the consequences of these actions, E. Lastly, people read because it is the easiest way to gain knowledge in a certain area. Instead of finding a teacher, you can just find a book, sit down, and spend a few hours reading. This way you can study wherever you want, whenever you want F. There are countless books in the world, and whoever you are, whatever you re feeling, there is definitely a book out there, just waiting for you to discover it try to avoid the boredom of life 2. that has consistently remained part of society 3. that they are not alone 4. going through something difficult 5. without having to bear any responsibility 6. that range from unlikely to impossible 7. at your own pace Пропуск A B C D E F Часть предложения All over the world people think that tea ceremony in England is 1) similar to tea ceremony in China. 2) connected with the cult of food. 3) is conducted in a formal style. 4) the same as it was in the 18th century. Why The English Love Drinking Tea Ever since the 18th century, tea time has been an integral part of English life. People from other countries have a set idea of what English tea time means: smart dresses, delicate finger foods, and hot tea all served on the best china. This is not a passion that England shares with most of the rest of the world, where coffee is almost universally more popular /9

4 than tea. In fact, the per capita consumption of tea in the United Kingdom is 12.85kg per year, which is almost three times as much as in Morocco which comes in second place at 4.34kg per year. This per capita consumption is even higher if you looked at England (one of 4 countries in the United Kingdom) on its own. Perhaps surprisingly, in Japan the popularity of tea has been suffering a slight decline since the start of the new millennium. During the early 1700s the British East India Company began growing tea in the newly conquered Indian territories on an industrial scale using cheap labour and conquered land. The massive scale of tea production in India, the majority of which was sent straight to England, sent the price of tea plummeting. Suddenly, what was once a rare treat for the wealthy became an affordable product which ordinary British people could enjoy on a regular basis. Not only that, but sugar was just starting to become more affordable for ordinary people as well. As a result of this, tea became a powerful symbol of the benefits of Empire for the ordinary English citizen. It is one thing to understand why the English first started drinking so much tea, but that doesn't really explain why we continue to do so some 300 years later. My own personal opinion is that one of the biggest reasons behind our continuing love affair with tea is because we find tea comforting. Its familiarity is like a cosy comfort blanket to us, and the long tradition of tea drinking provides a calming ritual with which to punctuate the day. At times of stress, grief or hardship it is not uncommon for the first response of an English person to be 'making a nice cup of tea'. The sheer familiarity of the ritual serves to centre you, diminishing the pressing concerns of the moment by making them seem small in comparison to such a long and often repeated tradition. Being an Englishman, I prefer drinking tea with milk. Debate continues whether to put milk in the cup before or after pouring tea. Originally milk was always added before tea to prevent hot tea from cracking the fine bone china cups. Tea experts agree with this tradition but also state that tea needs to be left in the water on its own for the flavour and colour to develop and a splash of milk should be added later. Tea itself seems to have calming properties, and it most certainly has a range of proven and suspected health benefits. Although many English people actually drink more tea than is strictly good for them, it cannot be denied that in moderate quantities (4 cups per day is usually said to be ideal) tea drinking has a remarkable range of health benefits. Studies have shown that drinking three to four cups of tea per day reduces your risk of having a heart attack, as well as protecting you from a range of degenerative heart conditions. Although the link has not yet been fully proven, several studies have suggested that tea drinking may help to prevent a range of different kinds of cancer, including lung cancer. 13. Tea consumption 1) is three times as much in Morocco as in China. 2) differs from country to country within the UK. 3) is the same as coffee in many countries of the world. 4) is increasing rapidly in Japan. 14. Which statement DOES NOT refer to the content of paragraph 3? 1) Tea companies grew a lot of tea in colonies. 2) Prices for tea were high before the 18th century. 3) England exported tea to many countries. 4) Sugar became less expensive. 15. The author believes that the English love tea because 1) tea is the best drink to start the day. 2) tea has a soothing effect on people. 3) people in England warm up with tea. 4) tea is a good way to begin relationship. 16. The reason for drinking a cup of tea when suffering is that it 1) makes the situation less stressful. 2) gives you time to forget about the problem. 3) doesn't take much tme or effort to make. 4) it allows your body muscles to relax. 17. People used to pour milk in a cup before tea /9

5 1) to change the taste of tea. 2) not to spoil the flavour of tea. 3) to achieve the best colour of tea. 4) not to break expensive cups. 18. According to the text, people who like tea 1) over time may develop lung cancer. 2) should drink as much tea as they like. 3) should not drink over 4 cups a day. 4) have a good chance to live a healthy life. 19.

8 42. The mystery of why trees don t stop growing is still unsolved. Human beings usually stop growing sometime during their teens. Many animals reach full growth within a year. Others are fully grown in just a few years. Birds and insects also stop growing at a certain age. But trees keep growing as long as they live. Trees live, grow, and reproduce themselves by an amazing process. The thousands of leaves put forth by the tree breathe for it and manufacture its food. Its root system gathers minerals and vast quantities of water. To carry this water to the leaves, the tree is equipped with an intricate circulation system that extends upward from the millions of root hairs through the trunk and branches. The trunk holds the leaves up to the sunlight, sends them water from the roots, and gets food back from them. Then seeds are borne in flowers or cones. Study the advertisement.
