The planet Earth is only a tiny part of the universe, but it's the only place where human beings can live.
Today, our planet is in serious danger. Acid rains, global warming,
air and water pollution, overpopulation are the problems that threaten
human life on Earth.
Who is to blame for the disaster? The answer is simple: all of us.
Our forests are disappearing because they are cut down or burnt. If this
trend continues, one day we won't have enough oxygen to breathe.
The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and
nuclear waste, chemical fertilisers and pesticides. The Mediterranean is
already nearly dead; the North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on the
brink of extinction. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will
be able to live in the seas.
Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for
ever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive
today may soon become extinct.
Air pollution is another serious problem. In Cairo just breathing the
air is dangerous — equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day.
The same holds true for many Russian cities. Factories emit tons of
harmful chemicals. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our
planet. They are the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid
rains. An even greater threat are nuclear power stations. We all know
how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are.
Fortunately, it's not too late to solve these problems. We have the
time, the money and even the technology to make our planet a better,
cleaner and safer place. We can plant trees and create parks for
endangered species. We can recycle litter. We can support green parties
and put pressure on those in power. Together we can save the planet and
all of us with it. Of course, people can’t stay indifferent to these
problems. There are a lot of special organizations, which try to save our
nature. The most known are: The Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals (The RSPCA), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Greenpeace. The RSPCA
tries to protect animals from bad use. It operates big nation campaigns aimed
at lost pets, circus animals. The WWF rescued several species of animals,
mammals as well as birds. These organization also helped to create more than
250 National parks. Greenpeace began its work 20 years ago from saving whales.
And now Greenpeace is a world-famous organization, which saves plants, animals
and people. These organization, want to rescue animals, to help them to survive
and to save jungle rain forests, which are in danger of destruction. And they
also help animals ‘cause many of them have already gone as they have nowhere to
live. Their homes, the trees, have disappeared. We must save wild animals. And
we must find the right way to save land, people and animals. We must lake care
of nature, because we are part of it.

1. THEY OVERDID IT

The London police were looking for a criminal who had robbed a bank. One day they

caught him and took him to prison. But while they were taking photographs of him from

the front, from the left, from the right, with a hat, without a hat — he suddenly attacked

one of the policemen and ran away.

Then a week later the telephone rang in the police station and somebody said: "You are

looking for Ben Jackson, aren't you?" — "Yes." — "Well, he was at Victoria Station an

hour ago. He has probably left London by now."

The city police immediately sent four different photos of the robber to the railway

police. All the trains were searched.

Less than two hours later they got a telephone call from a small town not far from

London. "We have caught three of the men," they said happily, "and we hope to catch

the fourth very soon."

The first record of the Olympic Games dates from 776 BC but it is
likely that many competitions were held before then. The modern Olympic
Games began in 1896. America hosted the modern Olympics 4 times,
Australia twice, and in 1980 it was Moscow that hosted the Summer
Olympic Games. No Olympics were held in 1916, 1940 and 1944
because of war. The Winter Olympics began in 1924, originally the same
year as the summer competition, but now are held on alternate years. The
Olympic Games have сhanged over time and regulated by the International
Olympic Committees. Almost every sport, from archery to yachting, is
included in the Games and it continues to be the world's largest sports
event.

Education in the United States


There is no
federal educational standard in the USA. Schooling and educational programmes
are the responsibility of each state; this is why one can find great
differences in education from state to state. No uniform demands exist on
education in schools or universities through-out the nation. In most states
attending school is obligatory for children between six and seventeen.
Secondary education institutions include elementary schools and high schools.
Higher education in the USA is not nation-wide. Colleges differ a lot from each
other in scale and level of education as well as in the "quality" of
diplomas given. There are private and state universities. Private education is
considered more prestigious. The most famous private university is Harvard.
Higher education is rather expensive in the USA.A typical American university has two levels of education: two years of undergraduate classes and two more years of graduate
classes. The undergraduate years are called the freshman and the sophomore
year. During the first and the second year the students take subjects of general
education: Science, Humanities, Arts. The specialization begins at the third
and the fourth years, named the junior and the senior year respectively. After the
fourth year at college, students get a Bachelor's degree. Graduates may
specialize further and do research. They get a Master's Degree.
