Do you agree with the phrase «He who has not seen Scotland does not really know Great Britain»? If you do, why?

Текст, с помощью которого можно ответить на вопрос:

Scotland is a country in the United Kingdom to the north of England. Its symbol is a thistle; its patron is St. Andrew. The country is divided into Highlands and Lowlands. Most of the industry is concentrated in Lowlands, in the Clyde Valley. Glasgow is its largest and busiest town; Edinburgh is its capital. Glasgow and Edinburgh are the two great centres of Scotland. There is only 45 miles between them, and it will take you an hour to get from Glasgow to Edinburgh by train but the cities are very different.
Glasgow is the heart of industry. It is a centre of business and trade. It is very busy, prosperous, dirty in some parts and smart in others. It is beautiful and ugly with its large port and busy streets.
Edinburgh is rather cold but attractive, very proud but friendly and has a great past. Edinburgh is known as Athens of the North. It is an ancient city and if you walk around it, you can feel history at every step. Practically every building has a tale to tell.
The most interesting parts of the city are the Old Town and the New Town. The Old Town lies between the Castle and Holyrood Palace. The Castle hangs over the city like some Disney cartoon – but it is real. The Castle, in fact, is older than the city. No one can say exactly say when the first settlers came to live on the huge rock that stands high above Edinburgh. Later they built a castle that used to be a fortress and then a royal palace. It looks good in any weather but at night when it is floodlit it looks just like a castle in a fairy tale. It is not surprising that the Castle attracts a lot of tourists. The Edinburgh military tattoo takes place every August and September and is known throughout the world. For 90 minutes on five or six nights a week, 600 people perform in the square in front of the Castle.
The performers play military music and march to it. At the same time as the tattoo, you can go to the famous Edinburgh festival. The festival started in 1947. Every year the best performances from all over the world can be seen in Edinburgh.
A line of streets, which runs from the Castle to Holyrood House, is called the Royal Mile. Holyrood House is a big royal palace which is the residence of the Queen when she is in Edinburgh. The most picturesque part of the Royal Mile is the Cannongate, which gives a good idea of what the Old Town was like. Closes (narrow passages) lesd to little years and attractive historical buildings. One of the most modest and yet one of the best known monuments in Edinburgh is a monument to a dog called Bobby. The dog belonged to John Gray. When he died Bobby lived near his grave for twenty-six years. Later Bobby was buried near his master and his statue in the Old Town has become a symbol of devotion. The Old Town is a striking contrast to the New Town with its white and beautiful streets lined with trees. Princes Street is the most beautiful street of the New Town. It has at lot of gardens on one side and it is also Edinburgh’s popular shopping centre. Princess Street is connected with the name of the famous writer, Sir Walter Scott. A monument 200 feet high rises among green trees. They call it a poet of stone. It is the Scott monument. Inside it there is a marble statue of the writer, and of his favourite dog.
Princess Street lies between the New Town and the Old Town. The modern town is on the lower side, the old one – on the higher. They look at each other across the valley under Scotland’s blue sky.

требуется грамотный перевод: When I called on Sherlock Holmes on the second morning after Christmas, he was lying on the sofa next to some newspa

pers. On a chair, there was a very dirty old hat and a magnifying glass.
I suppose,” I said:”that there is a story about that hat which will help so another mysterious crime.”
“There is no crime,” said Sherlock Holmes laughing.”Just a strange little incident. Peterson, the door attendant, found the hat. At about 4 o’clock in the morning, he was coming back from a party when he saw a tall carrying a goose. Suddenly, two thugs appeared. One pushed the man and the other thug tried to take the goose. Peterson went to protect the man, but saying some in uniform he dropped the goose and ran away. All the attacker disappeared so Peterson was left with both the goose and old hat. There was a card with the goose saying ”For the Mrs Henry Baker” and the initials ”H.B” inside the hat but there are a lot Henry Baker in London. Peter did not know what to do with either the hat all the goose so he brought both to me on Christmas morning. I kept the hat and Peterson had the goose for his Christmas dinner.”
“So can you find any clues about the man from this old hat?”
“What can you see,Watson?”
“Well,it is an ordinary black hat.The lining is made of red silk and there is no elastic.There is some dust on it and several spots.Someone has tried to cover all of the spots with ink,But I can not see any clues.”
“Well,Watson,the hat tells us a lot about the hat’s owner.He used to be quite rich but something must have happened to him,probably with drink.His wife no longer loves him.He is middle-aged with grey hair-which he has had cut recently.He does not do much exercise and he has not got gas in his house. ”
“You must be joking Holmes.How do you know all that information?”
“Elementary,my dear Watson.”

After that,Holmes explained all the clues about the hat to Watson. Then Peterson came into the room carrying an enormous diamond which his wife had found inside the goose.Holmes realized that this was the famous diamond stolen from a countess when she was staying at a London hotel .Two hotel servants had been involved.One was the butler,James Horner,a plumber.Horner had been working in the countess’room when Ryder noticed that the diamond had been stolen.Since then,Horner had been in prison for several days.Sherlock Holmes decided to asvertise for the goose and hat in the newspapers,That evening a man appeared;it was Baker.Baker did not know anything about the goose.They went there and saw a man,who turned out to be Ryder,the hotel butler,asking about the goose.Holmes invited him back to his house and when Holmes mentioned the diamond Ryder confessed that he had stolen it.After Horner’s arrest,Ryder had gone to his sister’s house to hide the diamond.There had been some geese in the garden and Ryder had put the diamond into its mouth and then asked his sister for this goose for Christmas.Later,he had taken the goose away and killed it there was no diamond as he had chosen the wrong goose!Holmes had enough proof to put Ryder into prison,but he decided to let the man go.In the end,Horner was released from the prison and the diamond returned to the countess.

America is a nation of risk-takers. Most Americans are descendants (потомок) of immigrants who left the known of the Old World* for the unknown of the

New.*

The pioneers who lived on the frontier had a hard life, so they had to be tough and self-reliant.
Frontier men and women were often facing new problems and situations which needed new solutions (решение). Under these circumstances (условия), they soon learned to experiment with new inventions and new ways of doing things. This willingness to experiment and invent led to another American trait, a sense of optimism that every problem has a solution.

The frontiersmen had to overcome (преодолевать) many difficulties. Friends and neighbours came for help without any reward. They shared food, together built each other's houses and fought fires. This extraordinary willingness to cooperate gave a rise to American's capacity (способность) for volunteer actions.
К этому тексту ответить на вопросы:
1.Where did the American descendants come from?
2.Why did the pioneers have a hard life?
3.Why are Amerians optimistic?
4.What facts help to explain why Americans are responsive?
5.Where did Americans more to?
