10-11 класс

was working by the riverside when he found some small pieces of yellow metal in the water. He showed them to his boss. It was gold. The two men tried to keep a secret but without success. Soon, the magic word 'gold' was repeated all around the world. Everybody wanted to go to California to get rich. Thousands of people started to rush to the golden river by horse, by ship and even on foot. Night after night, a few more new towns appeared along the river. Some people brought tents to live in while others built wooden houses called huts. Looking for gold was hard work and many people were disappointed. Only the lucky ones found gold - sometimes up to $2,000 in one day. It is not surprising that many small hotels, restaurants and bars opened in these new towns. Their owners made for- tunes providing services to people who arrived in a town in search of gold. By the end of 1850, the California Gold Rush was over. However, about forty-seven years later gold was discovered again, this time in Canada. Once more, over a thousand people left their homes and families to look for a better future. Today, at the original site of the California Gold Rush, near Sacramento, visitors can still try their luck with finding the yellow pieces of metal in the river. The old buildings have been redecorated and tourists can experience the life of the old days. Many of them are sure that they can find at least a small bit of gold. __________1.

Read the text and mark if the following sentences are

true or false.

Mr. and
Mrs. Barker were having a quiet day ay home. Their 17-year-old daughter was
away in Scotland staying with a friend. At 12 noon, Mr. and Mrs. Barker had a
phone call from the friend where their daughter was staying. They said that the
girl had disappeared. The parents were going to call the police when the phone
rang again. A hoarse voice informed Mr. Barker that their daughter had been
kidnapped and unless he paid a ransom of 1000 dollars he would never see his
daughter alive again. The voice gave him instructions about where and when to
hand over the money. The voice warned Mr. Barker not to tell the police or to
attempt to have the phone traced. Mr. Barker went to the bank and immediately
withdrew the money out of his bank account and left on the next train to
Brighton. When he arrived, he entered the Grand Hotel at five to six and
carefully placed the briefcase beside a sofa as arranged. At six o’clock
precisely, a woman in a scarf and raincoat approached, took the briefcase and
walked away quickly.

At 10 p.m.
the same evening, to his great relief, his daughter returned home. She could
hardly refrain from laughing. Imagine Mr. Barker’s surprise when she handed him
his briefcase containing the 1000 dollars. It turned out that she and her
friend had decided to play a practical joke.
The parents did not appreciate the joke as much as their daughter did.

There are many different kinds of activities for us to enjoy nowadays. In fact, there is something for all personality types.

If you are the brave, adventurous kind,

you can try skydiving or white-water rafting.

Many people are crazy about sports like these (1). Today we live in the 'extreme' sport world. We seek adventure instead of

(2).

If you are the quieter type, you may enjoy gardening or fishing. These activities are more relaxing 9 (3). Seeds sewn in the spring result in beautiful flowers that can brighten up your mood; fishing with friends can strengthen the relationship you have, or may just be a relaxing day out with a tasty supper at the end!

The imaginative may take up art classes or learn sculpture. In today's fast-paced world we all appreciate the opportunity to express

ourselves and take it easy (4) . Solitary

activities like knitting or stamp collecting, once considered to be old-fashioned, are becoming popular again.

Traditional team sports like football or basketball are great for developing team spirit and a sense of national pride. However, shy, reserved types prefer to watch them from the comfort of their couches rather than practise the sport itself. It is a pity(5).


Today's pastimes are often linked to technology and may encourage us to be lazy. Surfing the Net or chatting online is a popular pastime for many but more sociable types prefer to go to the cinema or go to an exhibition (6).

Whatever we like to do in our free time, the main thing is to find something that we enjoy doing and be open to new experiences.

A as sports like these have the ability to make us fit and strong

B and they bring many rewards

C because some people would rather go snowboarding

D where they can be in direct contact with people

E because of the adrenaline rush they get from them

F after a hard day at the office

G staying at home and playing cards or board games

INTERNET ACCESS.

Public places to use the Internet include libra
ries and Internet cafes, where computers with Internet connections are available. There are also Internet access points in many public places like airport halls, in some cases just for brief use while standing. Many hotels now also have public terminals.
There have been experiments with proprietary mobile wireless networks like Ricochet, various high-speed data services over cellular or mobile phone networks, and fixed wireless services. These services have not enjoyed widespread success due to their high cost of deployment, which is passed on to users in high usage fees.
Countries where Internet access is available to a majority of the population include Germany, India, China, Chile, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Greece, Italy, Australia, Denmark, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea and Norway. The use of the Internet around the world has been growing rapidly over the last decade, although the growth rate seems to have slowed somewhat after 2000. The phase of rapid growth is ending in industrialized countries, as usage becomes widespread there, but the expansion continues in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
However, there are still problems for many. ADSL and other broadband access are rare or nonexistent in most developing countries. Even in developed countries, high prices, unsatisfactory performance and access restrictions often limit its uptake. Within individual countries, wide differences may exist between larger cities (often having multiple providers of broadband access) and some rural areas, where no broadband access may be available at all.

1. There are Internet access points in many public places.
