The swinging sixties

.
Fifty years ago, on 5th October 1962, four young men from the Northern English city of
Liverpool released their first single, and Britain changed forever. They recorded the song “Love
Me Do”, in Abbey Road recording studio in London and the song went straight into the charts.
Britain at the beginning of the 1960s was a slightly depressing grey place, still trying to recover
from the effects of World War II, which had only finished a decade and a half earlier. The
Swinging Sixties had started and for a while Britain became the fashion and music centre of the
world. The Beatles went on to become the most famous group in the world and had lots of hit
records, but split up in 1970. McCartney and Ringo Star, still play music. Paul McCartney
performed a favourite Beatles song “Hey Jude” at the opening ceremony of the London 2012
Olympics.
Bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Who became famous all over
the world. Their long hair, laid back attitude, and their apparent disrespect for authority and
tradition shocked and worried many of the older generation, but the younger people loved this
new sense of freedom. The generation gap was perhaps wider than it had ever been before.
But the 1960s wasn’t just about pop music - the world was changing fast in lots of ways. In the
USA the civil rights movement kept moving faster as the black American minority demanded
equal rights. In October 1962 while protests and rioting were taking place, James Meredith, the
first black student to attend the all white University of Mississippi, was escorted on to the
university campus by US marshals. It was a real historic moment.
The 60s was also the age of the car. New motorways were opening up all over the country and in
the beginning, there were no speed limits. More people tasted the freedom of the car and
thousands of them abandoned old-fashioned train travel. Famously Dr. Beeching, the chairman
of British Railways responded by cutting off large parts of the railway network.
It’s all a long time ago now but some people still argue whether the changes that came in the
1960s were good or bad. But one thing is certainly true - Britain became a freer and more
tolerant place, and surely that must be good! The 1960s changed attitudes. Britain became a
more liberal and less restricted society. People at all social levels had more money to spend and
more time to enjoy it. The 1960s ended on a note of optimism for a better, fairer and brighter
future.

Halloween- the Druids’ holiday
Halloween is an important public holiday in the USA celebrated on October 31. On that day Americans
decorate their homes with lights and jack-o’-lanterns: pumpkins with frightening faces and candles
inside. The shops sell more candy than on any other holiday.
The holiday dates back to the Druids who lived in Great Britain 2000 years ago. The Druids said that
their chief God named Saman would tell the spirits of dead people to visit the Earth on the 31st of
October, the last day of the year according to their calendar. To keep the evil spirits away from people,
the Druids told their people to sacrifice an animal on Druid altars. This old custom grew and changed
over the centuries. To help their children keep away from evil spirits, parents would dress up their
children as ghosts and other figures that looked like evil spirits, trying to frighten away real spirits! For
the same purposes, farmers used to light big fires in their fields and the farm workers and their families
would walk around the fields singing old songs and hymns. And also, some parents would send their
children out to collect food from friends and neighbours.
Great care was taken not to leave farm animals in the fields. The animals would all be locked up safely
in their stables and over each of the stable doors the special tree leaves would be hung. It was believed
that witches and evil would not go anywhere near that plant.
In more recent times, Halloween has become a time for parties not only for children but also for their
parents. On the holiday children dress up as witches and play all kinds of special Halloween games such
as “ducking for the apple”, which is trying to catch an apple from a bowl of water with your teeth. A
very popular Halloween game is called “Trick or Treat”, when children run down each street knocking
on the doors crying loudly “Trick or Treat!”, and most people have some sweets ready to give them.
Those who do not give sweets to the children can have their windows covered in soap. Or the children
may just knock on the door and run away. But these days children seldom play tricks on people.
Halloween is often a contest to choose the best costume. After the games there is often a big supper
with plenty of pumpkin pie, cakes and a lot of other delicious things to eat.

Task 6
• Read five texts below in which five people are describing their rooms. Then match the
headings (A-J) with the texts (1-5). There are five extra headings, which you do not need
to use.
A. The room full of toys F. The room that needed a lot of repair
B. Special invitation needed G. The garage and the kitchen
C. The garden – the best place H. Sharing a room is not fun
D. My room – a place for getting together I. The room for drawing
E. The room on the last floor J. The guest room
A room of one’s own
1___.‘When we came to view the house, the thing that really charmed me was that it was spacious and
full of light thanks to a lot of windows around. In addition, there was this marvellous room at the top of
the house with a window overlooking the garden. The room might look a bit untidy at first glance, but I
know exactly where everything is. I’ve got a spacious work space along the wall and a couple of
shelves holding my favourite books, CDs and DVDs. My computer and the printer are also in this
corner. It’s a comfortable place both for working and relaxing.’
2___.‘Our house is always busy. We have four children and they’re always in and out with their friends
and my husband runs his business from home. I needed a place where I could be by myself. We had this
cellar under the house, and it was dark and uninviting. And I thought that I could make it into my space.
I had to work hard to make the place livable: the floor was re-laid and the walls painted. The biggest
luxury was the sofa. It’s really cosy and relaxing. I can stretch out and close my eyes or curl up and
read a book. This is my private space. No one is ever allowed in.’
3___.‘Our house is unusual because it was built to our own design. The bedrooms are on the ground
floor and the living space is on the first floor. I found I couldn’t really relax upstairs - the sitting room is
just too big and official. So I looked around the house and found this area under the stairs which has
good lighting because of the windows but still feels comfortable and intimate. I moved in my stereo and
the TV and when I want to be alone, I retreat to my ‘den’, put my feet up and listen to music. It’s
important to me to have this personal space - somewhere where no one comes unless they’re specially
invited.’
4___.‘My room is both my relaxing space and my working space, which in some ways is not ideal.
There isn’t much room for hanging pictures but I’ve got some photos of people I admire. I don’t have a
coffee-maker up here, but I’ve got a lovely brass table where I can put coffee that I make downstairs.
I’ve got lots of the teddy bears and cuddly toys that I had when I was young. They cut down the sense
of isolation you get when you spend lots of time working on your own.’
5___.‘My family and I live in a nice spacious house in the suburbs of London. We have an open
swimming pool and, thus, often have swimming pool parties here. My friends love coming to our place
because we can have fun both indoors and outdoors. But because my family is large I shared a room
with my elder sister for many years and I was not allowed to do many things. Now she got married and
the room is all mine. No one tells me not to put this poster up or not to put these things there. I can
make the place even cosier but at the moment I enjoy being alone in the room which some time before
was meant for two people.’

The history of Christmas cards
Sending Christmas cards is a very popular tradition in the USA as well as in many European countries.
At Christmas times post offices become jammed with Christmas cards which people send to their friends
and families all over the world wishing them Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. But probably very
few of them know how this tradition started.
In the middle of the 19th century Henry Cole was a well-known museum director and a very popular man
in London. Every year he sent short notes to his friends at Christmas, wishing them a happy holiday
season. But in 1843 Henry Cole had no time for letter writing so he asked an artist John Horsley to design
a card with a printed message that would substitute his annual greeting. His request eventually started a
billion-dollar industry and added a tradition to the holiday season. He invented the Christmas card with
three pictures and one message which read Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You. Cole decided
to sell his card in a shop, and thousands of copies were placed on sale. By 1960 the tradition of sending
Christmas cards started.
Louis Prang, a German lithographer who settled in Boston, US, popularized the Christmas card in
America. He started a business of beautifully made Christmas cards, which dominated the market for
nearly 20 years. Today Americans send about four billion cards every Christmas. Ninety-five percent of
families send from 60 to 70 cards at Christmas, for which they pay an average of 20 cents each. For years,
landscapes have been the most popular design on Christmas cards, followed by holiday symbols such as
bells, wreaths, candles, also religious themes and, finally, Santa Claus. Not all Christmas cards are
professionally made. Some people sent out photographs of the baby, the new puppy or the retirement
home under the palms. Last year one family sent a card showing the husband and wife with their
progressively more expensive automobiles during their 20 years of marriage.
The growing paper shortage and rising postal rates affected the Christmas-card industry within the next
few years. The cards changed into smaller ones and to simple postal cards without envelopes.
Occasionally, Christmas cards have messages that have double meanings. But they are very rare. Since
the days when Henry Cole was too busy to write his annual greeting, the messages remain, with few
exceptions, specific, traditional and hopeful. The most popular phrases in holiday cards are Merry
Christmas and Peace on Earth.

E. Advice should come from a J. No formal advice about careers.
professional.
Career advice
1___. Getting good advice about your future career is very important when you are still young. But
what I received at school when I was a high-school student was a ten-minute interview about a
career in banking or insurance. I was not interested in either of them. After university I remembered
how unhappy I was with the advice I was given at school about my future career and decided to
become a career adviser myself.
2____. I don’t understand how a complete stranger can help you choose your career when you are
so young. I believe it’s completely useless. In those days I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was
interested in films and music, but I did not know how to follow this career. After I left school, I did
not apply to any university and started going to clubs regularly. Only then did I realize that singing
was my vocation.
3____. I wanted to do engineering but I studied at a little rural school in Wales. If I’d been living in
Manchester, maybe they would have known better what to advise me as my future career. But even
at Cambridge University where later I studied engineering, hardly anyone gave you the right
advice. You had to learn on your mistakes. I guess it’s always different when the advice comes
from the people who are directly involved in this or that profession and know all in and outs of the
profession.
4.____. I went to a grammar school that was very sports-oriented, but the teachers always advised
us to concentrate on good exam results first. It was good advice. 70 percent of the graduates of our
school successfully applied to various universities. I also became a university student, but
unfortunately I didn’t finish my course because Leicester Football Club offered me a contract in the
middle of it.
5____. There was no careers advice whatsoever in my school. Maybe some students did have a
teacher talk to them, but there were no lessons or anything formal. I always knew I wanted to do
something like acting or being in front of a camera but had never got any useful information about
how to become an actress. However, it was my headmistress who noticed my talent and told me
that I should go on stage.

Die alten Griechen hatten großen Einfluss auf spätere Kulturen, auch auf unsere. Sie lebten gar nicht alle in

sondern in vielen kleinen Ländern. Das Zentrum jedes Landes bildete die so genannte "Polis" - das war eine
Art Stadtstaat.
Diese Stadtstaaten hatten oft Streitigkeiten miteinander, es wurden auch nicht selten Kriege geführt. Aber sie
hatten auch sehr viel gemeinsam, denn sie sprachen dieselbe Sprache, benutzten dieselbe Schrift und sie
beteten zu den gleichen Göttern.
Am Anfang hatten alle Stadtstaaten der Griechen noch Könige, es herrschte also eine Monarchie (das ist die
Herrschaft eines Einzelnen). Aber nach und nach setzte sich in allen Königreichen mit Ausnahme von Sparta
die Demokratie durch. In Sparta regierten immer die Könige. Das Wort "Demokratie" bedeutet soviel wie
"Herrschaft des Volkes".
Im alten Griechenland waren nur alle freien Männer wahlberechtigt. Sklaven und Frauen hatten kein
Wahlrecht. Das ändert aber nichts daran, dass das Staatssystem der Demokratie eine Erfindung der alten
Griechen war, die sich bis heute weiterentwickelt und in vielen Ländern der Erde durchgesetzt hat.
Aber die Demokratie ist bei weitem nicht die einzige Erfindung, für die die alten Griechen berühmt sind. Die
Griechen waren zum Beispiel die Begründer der Theaterkunst und natürlich der Olympischen Spiele.
Ebenfalls wichtig und einflussreich war die Schrift der Griechen. Sie war tatsächlich die erste Schrift, die
man so schreiben konnte, wie man sie sprach. Andere Völker nahmen sich die griechische Schrift zum
Vorbild, wie zum Beispiel die Römer. Sie wandelten die Buchstaben ab, aber das Prinzip blieb dasselbe. In
der Wissenschaft, zum Beispiel in der Mathematik, werden heute noch oft griechische Buchstaben verwendet.
In Griechenland gab es zahlreiche Philosophen, Wissenschaftler und Dichter, die auch heute gelesen und
bewundert werden.
Natürlich war nicht jeder Grieche ein einflussreicher Wissenschaftler oder Philosoph. Die meisten Menschen
in Griechenland waren "einfache Leute". Sie lebten in einfachen Holzhäusern. Das ist auch der Grund, warum
von den damaligen Wohnhäusern heute nichts mehr übrig ist. Einige der mächtigen Tempel haben allerdings
bis heute überdauert, obwohl sie schon über 2.000 Jahre alt sind. Die griechischen Tempel wurden aus
massivem Stein gebaut und können deshalb noch heute bestaunt werden .
Die Ernährung im alten Griechenland war im Allgemeinen ziemlich karg. Viele Lebensmittel waren in
Europa überhaupt nicht bekannt. Reis, Mais, Kartoffeln, Tomaten - das alles gab es im alten Griechenland
noch nicht. Die meisten Griechen ernährten sich von Brot oder Brei, von Bohnen sowie Früchten und
Milchprodukten. Die wohlhabenden Griechen konnten es sich leisten, auch regelmäßig Fleisch, Fisch oder
Gemüse zu essen.

Aufgabe 6
y Lesen Sie zuerst die Texte 1 bis 5 und dann die Überschriften A bis J.
y Entscheiden Sie dann, welcher Text zu welcher Überschrift passt.
y Sie können jeden Text und jede Überschrift nur einmal verwenden.
y Fünf Überschriften sind zu viel.
Schüler antworten auf die Frage: Wer ist stärker - Mensch oder Natur?
1. Das ist ja gerade das Problem: Viele Menschen denken, sie sind stärker als die Natur und verändern alles
nach ihrem Geschmack. Das ist leider nicht mehr anzuhalten. Dass die Menschen angefangen haben, die
Umwelt zu zerstören, das finde ich einfach bescheuert. Viele Pflanzen und Tierarten sind ja schon
ausgestorben. Ich denke, dass wir schon soweit sind, dass die Welt schon vollständig aus den Rudern
gelaufen ist und niemand in der Lage ist, diesen Prozess rückgängig zu machen.
2. Gute Frage. Manche irren sich, dass der Mensch stärker ist als die Natur. Das stimmt aber nicht. Die Natur
kann viel mehr. Sie kann Winde wehen lassen, das kann kein Mensch. Sie kann Wasser strömen lassen, so
wie kein anderer. Sie lässt Pflanzen wachsen, und Blumen blühen. Sie ist weise, und zestört sich nicht selbst,
egal was der Mensch tut.
3. Andauernd hört man doch die Schlagworte in den Nachrichten: Ölkatastrophe im Golf von Mexiko, zuviel
CO² in der Luft usw. Diese Naturkatastrophen sind eigentlich nicht Naturkatastrophen sondern
Menschenkatastrophen, da sie von Menschen verursacht sind. Die Menschen haben aber gelernt, dass sie
diese Katastrophen auch vermeiden sollen, jetzt müssen wir lernen, wie man den Schaden wieder gut macht.
Das gibt Hoffnung.
4. Die Zukunft liegt in Weltraumforschung. Ich denke, dass die Menschheit bald die Erde verläßt und andere,
vielleicht sogar, bessere Planeten findet. Das ist wie die Landwirtschaft, wir werden immer wieder neue
Flächen bearbeiten und die Alten werden sich inzwischen regenerieren. Die Natur kann sich selbst helfen. So
werden wir immer genug Platz zum Leben haben.
5. Ich denke, dass die Frage nicht ganz korrekt ist. Der Mensch ist ein Teil der Natur und alles was er macht
gehört der Natur. Wenn der Mensch stark ist, dann ist auch die Natur stark. In vielen Zoos werden seltene
Tierarten gerettet, man kümmert sich um Flora und Fauna. Ich denke, dass es keine Gründe für die Panik
gibt. Einige Fehler machen ja kein Bild der Menschheit aus.
A. Die Natur ist wunderschön und einzigartig.

B. Der Prozess der Weltvernichtung ist nicht mehr zu stoppen.
C. Flora und Fauna sind Bestandteile der Natur.
D. Die Menschen leben in Einklang mit der Natur.
E. Im Vergleich zu Natur macht der Mensch gar keine Fehler.
F. Ohne Menschen entwickelt sich die Natur besser.
G. Für die bessere Zukunft muss der Mensch der Natur helfen.
H. Viele Tierarten sind nützlich für die Menschen.
I. Die Macht der Menschen hat seine Grenzen
J. Die Zukunft der Menscheit hängt von natürlichen Ressourcen ab.

Aufgabe 4
Wir verbringen einen großen Teil unseres Lebens im Schlaf. Ausreichend Schlaf ist sehr wichtig für unser
körperliches und seelisches Befinden.
Eine genaue Stundenzahl, wie viel Schlaf ein Mensch braucht, gibt es nicht. Vielmehr zählt die Qualität des
Schlafens. Manch einer ist schon nach fünf Stunden fit, ein anderer benötigt mindestens neun Stunden, um
erholt aus dem Bett zu kommen. Außerdem stimmt es nicht, dass man umso weniger Schlaf braucht, je älter
man wird. Es erscheint so, da ältere Menschen nachts oft weniger schlafen - das holen sie allerdings tagsüber
nach.
Säuglinge hingegen schlafen tatsächlich besonders viel - bis zu 20 Stunden täglich. Normalerweise schlafen
die erwachsenen Menschen 7 – 8 Stunden. Für uns alle gilt allerdings: Schlaf ist lebensnotwendig. Leiden
wir unter anhaltenden Schlafstörungen, hat das erhebliche Folgen: Wir sind körperlich wenig leistungsfähig,
wir sind reizbar und unausgeglichen. Schlafen ist also nicht nur für unseren Körper wichtig, sondern auch für
unser seelisches Befinden. Schlaf gilt als „die beste Medizin“.
Im Schlaf gibt es viele verschiedene Schlafphasen. Die erste Hälfte des Schlafs ist für uns die wichtigste.
Wenn wir in dieser Zeit oft gestört werden, sind wir danach nicht richtig ausgeruht. Allgemein ist der Schlaf
weniger erholsam, wenn wir durch Licht oder Geräusche gestört werden. Deshalb ist es weniger entspannend,
tagsüber zu schlafen. Dabei träumen wir auch deutlich mehr, weil wir uns seltener im Tiefschlaf befinden.
Im Tiefschlaf sinkt die Körpertemperatur und alle Funktionen werden auf das Minimum heruntergefahren.
Der Körper ist beinahe wie gelähmt, in diesem Zustand wären wir kaum in der Lage, ein Bein, einen Arm
oder einen Finger zu bewegen. In dieser Phase des Schlafens erholen wir uns am besten.
Die Schlafphasen wechseln sich nachts mehrmals ab. Die meisten Tiefschlafphasen erlebt man allerdings in
der ersten Hälfte der Nacht. Hat man es bis zur ersten Tiefschlafphase geschafft, ist auch die Traumphase
nicht mehr weit. Der Körper wechselt nun zu einem leichten Schlaf, und wir beginnen zu träumen.
Viele Menschen können sich nur an Träume in schwarz-weiß erinnern. Andere glauben, ausschließlich bunt
zu träumen. Manche Menschen träumen sowohl in Farbe als auch schwarz-weiß. Laut Traumforschern und
Psychologen sollen Frauen viel häufiger farbig träumen als Männer. Was die Ursachen dafür sind, weiß man
nicht mit Sicherheit. Einige Forscher vermuten, dass farbige Träume mit einem emotionaleren und
intensiveren Gefühlsleben zusammenhängen.
Nicht nur Frauen und Männer, sondern auch Kinder und Erwachsene träumen auf unterschiedliche Art. Im
Kindesalter kommt es häufiger zu Albträumen, und oft sind die Träume fantastischer und weniger real.
Kinder erinnern sich auch öfter an ihre Träume.
1. Was wird im Text über die Schlafphasen gesagt?

Aufgabe 6
y Lesen Sie zuerst die Texte 1 bis 5 und dann die Überschriften A bis J.
y Entscheiden Sie dann, welcher Text zu welcher Überschrift passt.
y Sie können jeden Text und jede Überschrift nur einmal verwenden.
y Fünf Überschriften sind zuviel.
Schüler antworten auf die Frage: Sind wir Menschen von Natur aus eher gut oder böse?
1. Man kann das ja nicht so schwarz-weiss sehen. Wir Menschen sind eher grau, wenn ihr versteht was ich
meine? Ich glaube, dass fast alle Menschen nur gute Absichten haben, und dass es nur an der Umsetzung
manchmal scheitert. Ich denke, dass Außerirdische uns nicht als böse sondern als dumm und rücksichtslos
bezeichnen würden, weil wir so nachlässig mit unserem Planeten und mit uns selbst umgehen.
2. Also: ich denke, wenn ein Mensch geboren wird, ist er schon "gut" oder "böse". In der weiteren
Entwicklung spielen die Gene des Menschen eine größere Rolle, als der Einfluß der Erziehung oder der
Kultur allgemein. Wir, mein Nachbar und ich, lernen in einer Schule. Seine Eltern verhalten sich grob und
unfreundlich. Und ich muss sagen, dass es kein Wunder ist, dass das Sozialverhalten des Sohnes auch nicht
ideal ist. So wie im Sprichwort: der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm.
3. Wir Menschen werden durch Erziehung geprägt und das ist in mancher Hinsicht gut oder schlecht. Wenn
man z.B. als Kind stets geschlagen wurde, kann man als Erwachsener schon mal böse sein. Aber wer ist
daran dann schuldig? Ich bin überzeugt – die Eltern. Weil die Eltern das ja so weiter gegeben haben. Sie
haben ihre Kinder auch so erzogen... Ich habe Glück mit meinen Eltern und hoffe, dass ich gut bin.
4. Ich glaube, man ist von Natur aus gut! Die meisten Leute werden böse, weil ihnen in ihrem Leben etwas
Schlechtes passiert ist, z.B. ein Todesfall von einem Familienmitglied oder ein hartes Leben. Viele böse
Leute wollen sich einfach an der Menschheit rächen und darum machen sie schlechte Sachen. Ich denke, dass
solche Leute Probleme haben, sich wieder in die Gesellschaft zu integrieren. Sie fühlen sich als ob man sie
vom Bort geschmissen hätte.
5. Der Mensch ist von Natur aus „Mensch“, und Mensch zu sein heißt ein Tier zu sein. Wenn das stimmt,
dann sind wir von der Natur her eher böse. Tiere sind egoistisch und agressiv, wie auch die Menschen. Ich
weiß, dass viele mit mir nicht einverstanden werden, aber versuchen wir etwas selbskritischer zu sein. Das ist
nur Kultur und Erziehung, die uns zwingen, sich gut zu benehmen, einanader etwas zu schenken, Gutes zu
tun, aber im Herzen sind wir doch anders.
*das Verhalten – qceva
A. Schwere Kindheit ist oft Grund der Bosheit der Menschen.

B. Wegen Kultur sind die Menschen so rücksichtslos.
C. Die Eltern haben oft probleme mit den Kindern.
D. Die Menschen erben ihr künftiges Verhalten.
E. Die Erziehung ist sowohl für die Menschen als auch für die Tiere wichtig.
F. Die Menschen denken zu wenig an ihre eigene Zukunft.
G. Die Eltern sind viel besser als ihre Kinder.
H. Tragische Fälle verändern oft das Verhalten des Menschen.
I. Unter Einfluss der Kultur verhalten sich die Menschen besser.
J. Mit Hilfe von Eltern kann man fast alle Probleme lösen.

Jean-Paul Belmondo
Jean-Paul Belmondo est né le 9 avril 1933 à Neuilly-sur-Seine d’un père sculpteur réputé d’origine
italienne, et d’une mère artiste peintre. C’est lors d’une période de convalescence en Auvergne, que Jean-Paul
Belmondo, âgé de 16 ans, décide de devenir acteur.
3

Ce passionné de sport, va dès lors intégrer les cours de Raymond Girard , qui l’aide à préparer son
admission en 1951 au concours du Conservatoire d’art dramatique. Il aura pour mentor, dans cette prestigieuse
institution, Pierre Dux . Mais il n’y fera pas long feu, le jeune homme peu enclin à la discipline sera renvoyé
au bout de quatre ans. Il y rencontrera quand même Jean Rochefort. Il fait ses vrais débuts sur les planches
avec Médée de Jean Anouilh au Théâtre de l’Atelier, dans la mise en scène d' André Barsacq .
A seulement 20 ans il épouse Elodie Constantin, une danseuse. Son premier enfant, Patricia
Belmondo, naîtra en 1958, année où Jean-Paul fait ses débuts au cinéma en interprétant un petit rôle dans Sois
belle et tais-toi . Dans la salle où il a auditionné pour le rôle, il rencontre un certain Alain Delon , encore
inconnu, qui sera lui-même engagé. Ce sera leur premier film ensemble.
Jean-Paul Belmondo a 25 ans quand il joue avec Bourvil, Arletty, Danielle Darrieux et Roger Hanin dans « Un
drôle de dimanche » de Marc Allégret sorti en 1958.
Il enchaînera, entre autres, avec Les tricheurs . C'est lors de ce tournage que Jean-Paul Belmondo fait
la rencontre d'un jeune cinéaste, Jean-Luc Godard . Rencontre prodigieuse, Jean-Luc Godard lui offrira, en
effet, son ticket pour le succès en lui proposant son premier grand rôle dans l’inoubliable A bout de souffle (les
Américains en feront d’ailleurs un remake en 1983 avec Richard Gere en tête d’affiche). Contre toute attente,
le film provoque une véritable déferlante à sa sortie en 1960, et est érigé en symbole de la Nouvelle Vague du
Cinéma.
Accaparé par le septième art, Bébel délaissera le théâtre à partir de 1959, et n’y reviendra que presque
trente ans après, en 1989, avec la pièce Kean de Jean-Paul Sartre, mise en scène par Robert Hossein au
Théâtre Marigny.
L'acteur est une véritable tête brûlée. C'est un véritable cascadeur connu pour s’être toujours opposé
au fait de se faire doubler dans ses scènes d’action à haute voltige, et le hasard fait que c'est sur les planches
que Belmondo, fait un malaise cardiaque lors de la représentation de « Frederick ou le Boulevard du Crime »,
en 1999.

Exercice 6
Parmi les dix affirmations données (A-J) choisissez celles qui correspondent aux 5 témoignages.
Attention ! il y a une affirmation correspondante pour chaque témoignage.
Mettez les réponses dans la grille des réponses.
Que regardez-vous à la télé et pourquoi ?
1. Si je regarde la télé, c’est plutôt pour voir des films. Je suis une fan de séries télé, et notamment de la série
« La génération de chips » qui aborde des sujets qui touchent les jeunes. Il n’y a aucune censure. Les jeunes
parlent un langage familier comme les jeunes d’aujourd’hui.
Ce qui est le plus énervant c’est la coupure pub au milieu des films. Les pubs sont tellement longues qu’à leur
fin je ne sais plus ni ce que je regarde ni de quoi parle-t-on.
6

2. Moi, je regarde la télé pour les journaux télévisés. Mais irrégulièrement, par manque de temps plus que par
manque d’intérêt. Alors souvent je suis obligé d’écouter les infos à la radio en voiture chaque matin. Les
journaux ce n’est pas pratique! Ils me font les mains noires et puis vous savez combien d’arbre on tue et
combien on produit de déchets avec tous ces papelards ? Et puis, ça coûte assez cher !
3. En ce qui me concerne, j’aime regarder les matchs de foot. Je les regarde avec mes copains. On achète de la
bière, de la pizza, on s’installe devant l’écran et on se prépare pour voir un spectacle. Oui, pour moi un bon
match est un spectacle, ça me fait un grand plaisir. Deux équipes sont là pour gagner, se battre. Je ne
comprends pas ceux qui regardent « reality-shows » ou des trucs dans ce genre où on nous trompe, on nous
prend pour des imbéciles.
4. La télévision, j’ai envie de dire quotidienne, telle qu’on la voit tous les jours modifie notre comportement.
On est dépendant, on vit au rythme de la télévision, elle nous montre régulièrement des guerres, elle nous a
habitués à voir plein d’horreurs et ça ne nous étonne plus.
Quant aux adolescents qui regardent beaucoup la télévision pensent que le monde est plus violent et se sentent
plus agressés que ceux qui la regardent moins.
5. Quand j’étais petite je regardais beaucoup la télévision, beaucoup plus qu’aujourd’hui. Je trouve que chez
nous les émissions de jeunesse ont plus de qualité, que celles faites pour mon âge, c’est plus limité quoi. Donc
on fait une sélection plus importante, on est peut-être un peu plus sévère vis-à-vis du programme. Maintenant
je regarde pour vivre une belle histoire en regardant un film. Mes petits-fils ne la regardent jamais car ils
préfèrent passer les soirées devant l’écran de leur ordinateur. Ce n’est plus étonnant, car d’après l’enquête
menée par l’IPSOS la consommation télévisuelle des 8 à 12 ans a baissé de près de moitié en quinze ans.
A. Cette personne regarde des émissions sportives

B. Cette personne assure que les enfants regardent la télévision de moins en moins
C. Cette personne dit que la télévision n’est faite que pour amuser les téléspectateurs
D. Cette personne préfère regarder les feuilletons
E. Cette personne n’a pas de télévision
F. Cette personne a l’habitude de zapper
G. Cette personne regarde la télé pour s’informer
H. Cette personne adore regarder les jeux télévisés
I. Cette personne travaille à la télévision
J. Cette personne pense que la télévision nous influence

nécessaires dans la liste qui suit le dialogue avec trois phrases intruses.
Marie – Imagine-toi, que mes copines ne parlent que de la mode, malgré l’âge qu’elles ont, mais moi
j’aimerais plutôt avoir un nouveau bijou qu’un nouveau vêtement.
Anne – Pour moi aussi, la mode c’est important, parce que ça permet de changer. Moi aussi, j’ai 50 ans
mais je ne peux pas me passer de la mode. Deux fois par an je vais chez Zara ou chez Benetton pour
renouveler mes toilettes. Moi, mes vêtements, je les achète moi-même à Saint-Germain des Prés.
1.__________
Marie- Moi, je n’ai jamais acheté un vêtement toute seule, parce que je ne m’y connais pas du tout et il
faut que je sois accompagnée pour ne pas acheter quelque chose de terrible. 2. __________

longues qui tombent jusqu’aux pieds, oui, ça va, mais pas les robes courtes.
Marie –Grâce à ma sœur, moi, je n’ai que deux blouses mais beaucoup de sweat-shirts. Ce sont souvent
des marques parce que c’est des cadeaux. 4.__________
Anne – Tu as raison, pour moi, les marques, c’est pour se distinguer, pour être différente des autres. Tu
ne penses pas que les tailleurs Chanel sont les meilleurs ? J’en ai un, tout neuf que je porterai à l’anniversaire
de Louise. Mais il me faut un collier en perles pour porter avec.
Marie – 5.__________ . Tu sais très bien que je suis plutôt amatrice de bijoux.

Le Stade de France ________ (1) depuis 1998 les grandes manifestations sportives dans trois

Conçu par les architectes Macary Zubléna Regembal Costantini, construit et exploité ________ (3)

Le coût total de réalisation du Stade de France s'élève à 2,6 milliards de francs. L'ouvrage a été

Exercice 4
Lisez le texte ci-dessous. Parmi les 4 versions suivantes (A,B,C,D) trouvez celle qui correspond à
chacune des questions. Mettez les réponses dans la grille des réponses.
J'ai cru pendant longtemps que je me foutais de la France. J'avais tendance à défendre l'idée
qu'exprime John Lennon cette célébrité de Liverpool au début de sa chanson Imagine : « Imagine there is no
countries. » Pas de pays, pas de frontières, une utopie planétariste. Je continue de penser, comme Jacques
Attali ou Edgar Morin, qu'il faut une gouvernance mondiale. Mais en vieillissant, disons quand j'ai eu
quarante ans, l'âge auquel tout homme cesse de regarder seulement devant lui, je me suis demandé : qui suis-
je vraiment, d'où viens-je, n'ai-je pas un passé, une famille, un frère, des grands-parents. Et quand on se
retourne, on se rend compte qu'on vient bien de quelque part.
Je voyage beaucoup, et c'est quand je suis à l'étranger que je me sens le plus français. Je crois
d'ailleurs que je suis un bon défenseur de la France. Je défends sa nonchalance, son esprit, cette espèce de
légèreté, de frivolité, d'élégance, ce goût du luxe et de la bonne bouffe. Mais quand je suis en France, je passe
mon temps à critiquer la France, et, ça aussi, c'est très français.
J'aime bien Marie Ndiaye, dont j'ai fait la connaissance l'an dernier à New York. Mais je ne suis pas
tout à fait d'accord avec ce qu'elle a dit : « Je n'aime pas la France de Sarkozy, donc je vais m'installer à
Berlin. » Justement, si on n'aime pas la France de Sarkozy, il faut rester. J'aurais plein de raisons de quitter la
France, pour payer moins d'impôts par exemple, mais j'ai envie d'y rester. J'aime la façon de vivre en France
et surtout à Paris, une forme de douceur, un art de la conversation, un goût pour s'habiller, qu'on ne trouve
nulle part ailleurs, sinon peut-être en Italie. J'ai envie d'écrire des phrases dans cette langue, de lire des livres
en français.
Mais Marie Ndiaye a raison sur un point : la France est en train de devenir un État policier. On était
un pays détendu, maintenant l'ambiance est au flicage. Ça ne nous va pas. Ça n'est pas nous. Nous avions une
façon un peu chic, paresseuse, littéraire, de vivre. Ne la perdons pas. Dans la devise qui est au fronton des
mairies, c'est le mot “ liberté ” qui figure en premier, et le mot “ sécurité ” n'y figure pas. Cette manière
poétique de vivre disparaîtra si on a un policier derrière le dos qui contrôle nos moindres faits et gestes.
Bientôt, on ira en garde à vue parce qu'on mange du foie gras sous prétexte que ça fait du mal aux canards !
Si le canard avait gagné dans la hiérarchie des espèces, ça se saurait. Comme ça n'est pas lui qui a gagné,
l'être humain le mange. On a développé une science subtile pour cuire son foie gras à moitié, pour
l'assaisonner d'armagnac. C'est un sommet de raffinement et on veut nous faire croire que c'est le comble de
la barbarie. Qui a écrit Les Fleurs du mal, un canard ou un homme ? Aucun canard n'ayant jamais écrit de
chef-d'œuvre, je considère qu'on peut se permettre de les manger.

Exercice 6
Parmi les dix affirmations données (A-J) choisissez celles qui correspondent aux 5 témoignages.
Attention ! Il y a une affirmation correspondante pour chaque témoignage.
Enfants uniques
1. Etre enfant unique signifie souvent qu’on est forcément incapable de tenir compte de l’autre et de partager.
Certes, il existe des enfants uniques qui se sentent en décalage avec des amis de leur âge et n’arrivent pas à
faire partie d’une bande. Apprendre à instaurer des relations équilibrées n’est pas facile pour eux. On peut les
aider en leur montrant que, même au sein de la famille, chacun a besoin de donner et de recevoir. L’échange
est nécessaire pour des relations satisfaisantes. Et quand il y a divergence, chacun doit céder un peu pour
trouver un accord qui satisfasse partiellement des autres.
2. Si on croit certaines études, les enfants uniques réussissent mieux que les enfants qui sont membres d’une
famille de trois enfants ou plus, mais pas mieux que ceux qui ont un frère ou une sœur. On peut supposer
qu’une grande partie des enfants uniques sont bons élèves. Normal, au fond, puisqu’ils bénéficient de
l’attention exclusive de leurs parents et que ceux-ci s’investissent souvent à fond dans leur rôle d’éducateurs.
Sans compter qu’à grandir dans le monde d’adultes, les enfants uniques acquièrent vite un vocabulaire
élaboré. « Ils tiennent des conversations de grands, ont l’habitude d’analyser, d’argumenter et d’être pris au
sérieux », témoigne une institutrice en primaire.
3. N’entend-on pas encore souvent « Ah ! bien sûr, c’est un enfant unique » pour expliquer l’égoïsme ou
l’arrogance d’un petit ? Comme s’il n’était pas un enfant comme les autres et que grandir sans frère ni sœur
modifie forcément la construction de la personnalité. On entend souvent que les enfants uniques sont
insupportables, égocentriques, accaparent toute l’attention de leurs parents.
4. Comme tous les enfants, il ne demande sûrement pas mieux que de vous faire plaisir. Mais trop peut-être,
au point de renoncer à ses propres désirs. En voulant éviter la désapprobation parentale, il risque de sacrifier
son authenticité. Ne lui imposez donc pas systématiquement votre opinion (en le reprenant d’un « c’est
idiot » chaque fois qu’il exprime un avis différent du vôtre, par exemple). Il aime le sport et pas vous ? Tant
mieux, ce sont ces différences qui vont vous enrichir mutuellement.
5. Au centre de toutes les attentions, l’enfant unique est souvent surprotégé. Les parents s’intéressent
toujours : où va-t-il, avec qui, pourquoi ? « Dès que j’arrivais chez des copains ou que je sortais d’une séance
du cinéma, je devais téléphoner à ma mère et affronter les railleries des amis qui me trouvaient trop couvée,
se souvient Anne-Laure. Mes parents redoutaient toujours qu’il m’arrive quelque chose. J’ai, aujourd’hui, 28
ans et ma mère continue de m’appeler tous les jours. Je n’ose toujours pas lui dire de me laisser enfin en
paix. »
A. Cette personne dit que selon l’opinion générale l’enfant unique est trop gâté
B. Cette personne affirme que l’enfant unique est un enfant divin sous contrôle
C. Cette personne trouve que l’enfant unique a du mal à se faire des copains
D. Cette personne pense qu’il faut protéger l’enfant unique de tous les pièges
E. Cette personne considère que l’enfant unique n’aime pas la compétition
F. D’après cette personne l’enfant unique est avantagé sur le plan scolaire
G. Pour cette personne l’enfant unique a ses atouts
H. Selon cette personne l’enfant unique est stressé à l’arrivée d’un petit frère ou d’une petite sœur
I. Cette personne pense qu’il faut aider l’enfant unique à être lui-même
7

J. Cette personne dit que l’enfant unique connaît de petites déceptions du quotidien

Задание 4
• Прочитайте текст.
• Продолжите данные после текста предложения (1-10), используя один из четырех
вариантов ответов.
Генрих Шлиман родился 6 января 1822 года в небольшом немецком городке Нойбуков. Когда
Генриху исполнилось 8 лет, отец подарил ему книгу «Всемирная история для детей», в которой
мальчик впервые прочитал рассказ о легендарном городе Трое, воспетом древнегреческим поэтом
Гомером в поэме «Илиада». Генрих был поражён прочитанным. Он решил во что бы то ни стало
разыскать место, где некогда находилась Троя, и доказать, что все события, описанные в «Илиаде»,
происходили на самом деле. Путь к этой цели оказался долгим и тернистым, а от биографии Шлимана
захватывает дух, как от самого крутого детектива.
С 14 лет, в связи с финансовыми сложностями семьи, Генрих оставил школу и пошёл работать в
бакалейную лавку, где он трудился с утра до ночи. Через пять лет Шлиман решил наняться юнгой на
корабль, уходивший в Венесуэлу. Корабль попал в жесточайший шторм и затонул, а чудом
оставшийся в живых Генрих несколько дней провёл в госпитале Амстердама.
Генрих остался в Голландии. По рекомендации друга семьи он начал работать служащим в
компании по продаже чая и оливкового масла. Применяя необычный, им самим созданный метод,
Генрих за два года овладел английским, французским, голландским, испанским, португальским,
итальянским языками. После того, как Генрих изучил и русский, руководство компании в целях
расширения сферы деятельности командировало его в Россию. Здесь он женился, а через некоторое
время завёл и собственное дело. Вскоре ему удалось заработать очень много денег. Разбогатев,
Шлиман оставляет коммерцию и полностью посвящает себя науке. Сорокапятилетний миллионер
начинает изучать филологию и археологию в Сорбонне. Шлиман выдвигает теорию, согласно которой
древняя Троя расположена внутри холма Гиссарлык на территории нынешней Турции. Обоснование
этой теории принесло ему докторскую степень.
1870 год оказался для Шлимана переломным и вместе с тем счастливым. Женившись вторично на
прекрасной гречанке, он вместе с ней отправляется на поиски гомеровской Трои. На протяжении трех
лет супруги, не зная ни сна, ни отдыха, занимались раскопками холма Гиссарлык. Но поиски были
тщетными. Пятнадцатого июня 1873-го года решено было сделать последнюю попытку отыскать
исчезнувший город. Именно в этот счастливый день Шлиман нашел наконец то, что увенчало его
упорную работу, то, что привело в восторг весь мир - он отыскал золото Трои.
В том, что произошло с сокровищами дальше, много запутанного и таинственного. Согласно
договору с властями Турции, которые не догадывались об истинной стоимости найденного,
сокровища Трои за символическую плату приобрела Германия. Уже после Второй мировой войны они
оказались в Москве, где их и сегодня можно увидеть в Музее изобразительных искусств имени
Пушкина. Споры о том, кому должно принадлежать «золото Трои», продолжаются до сих пор.

Задание 6
• Прочитайте тексты (1-5).
• Подберите к каждому из них соответствующее утверждение, выбрав его из перечня
(А-К). Учтите, что 5 утверждений – лишние.
1. У дельфинов уникальные способности к обучению, удивительные отношения между собой.

Некоторые учёные утверждают, что у дельфинов есть свой «язык». Дельфины не агрессивны, они
охотно идут на различные эксперименты. Они умны и имеют высокий уровень развития нервной
системы. Их головной мозг похож на мозг человека. Много тайн и открытий ждёт людей при
изучении этих удивительных животных.
2. Акула - самая большая хищная рыба. Она всегда голодна, поэтому готова проглотить все, что
встречает на своём пути. Чего только не находили в желудке этого чудовища! Здесь были и почтовые
посылки, и драгоценности с затопленных судов, и разнообразная домашняя утварь, и одежда, и
пишущие машинки, и даже… ключ к японскому шифру! Трофей в виде акулы с шифром в брюхе
очень помог американцам в боях на Тихом океане во время Второй мировой войны.
3. «Кенгуру» на языке австралийских аборигенов значит «я вас не понимаю». Когда европейцы в

первый раз стали расспрашивать жителей Австралии об этих удивительных животных, аборигены
ответили «Кен-гу-ру» - «не понимаю». Как известно, кенгуру хороший прыгун. Длина его прыжка
достигает четырёх метров. Он может и быстро бегать, обгоняя не очень мощные машины.
4. Жираф не только самое высокое, но и очень крупное млекопитающее; больше жирафа только кит,
слон, бегемот и носорог. Зрение у жирафа острее, чем у многих других обитателей огромной
малонаселённой африканской саванны. На первый взгляд нескладные, жирафы прекрасно чувствуют
себя в саванне: далеко видят и хорошо слышат. У жирафа не только уникальная шея, но и длинный –
до шестидесяти сантиметров – язык. А вот голоса жирафа никто еще не слышал.
5. Лиса – любимая героиня русских народных сказок. И, как настоящая героиня, она красива, изящна,
сообразительна и умна. Лиса имеет прекрасное зрение и чутье. Она - настоящая плутовка. Недаром в
народе говорят, характеризуя чью-то находчивость и изворотливость, «хитрый, как лиса». Лиса умеет
ловко уходить от преследования, изменяя следы. Охотники смотрят на лисьи следы в лесу и ломают
голову - то ли собака здесь пробежала, то ли заяц проскакал.
А. Зрению жирафа могут позавидовать все млекопитающие.
Б. Самый мощный прыгун в мире живёт в Австралии.
В. Морские хищники не раз удивляли содержимым своего желудка.
Г. Редкого плута не сравнивают с находчивой обитательницей леса.
Д. Морские животные с трудом соглашаются принять участие в опытах.
Е. Немые гиганты отлично чувствуют себя на пустынных просторах.
Ж. Европейцы не знали языка коренного населения.
З. Героини русских сказок всегда красивы, изящны и сообразительны.
И. Изучение мозга морских интеллектуалов раскроет человеку множество секретов.
К. Во время войны в жeлудках акул прятали ключи от шифров.

Задание 4
• Прочитайте текст. Продолжите данные после текста предложения (1-10), используя один
из четырех вариантов ответов.
Наполеон, всегда внимательно изучавший своих противников, сказал: «Генералов хороших у

России нет, кроме одного Багратиона». Багратион по праву считался одним из лучших русских
полководцев. Испытывая гордость за своего командира, подчинённые по-своему произносили его
фамилию «Бог рати он!» и называли его «наш орёл». Багратион действительно был «орлом» русской
армии. Он всегда был там, где труднее и опаснее всего, и везде добивался выдающихся успехов.
Грузин по крови, Багратион был куда более горячим патриотом России, чем иные русские. Однажды,
во время совещания, заподозрив начальство в измене, он сострил: «Господа, здесь кто-нибудь говорит
по-русски?».
Храбрость Багратиона была феноменальной, но при этом он не был фанатичным воякой, ради
победы готовым вести людей на смерть. Бескорыстный, щедрый, заботливый, никогда не помнящий
зла, он стремился воспитать те же качества в подчинённых ему офицерах. В приказах его читаем:
«Главная обязанность командиров думать о здоровье нижних чинов, которые заслуживают отеческой
заботы...».
Пётр Багратион происходил из царского рода. Его дед, царевич Александр, перебрался из
Грузии в Россию в 1757 году и дослужился в русской армии до подполковника. Военная служба Петра
началась, когда ему было 17 лет. В своей первой экспедиции против чеченцев он был ранен, взят в
плен, но горцы вернули его в русский лагерь в знак уважения к деду, даже не потребовав выкупа.
За блистательный подвиг, совершённый Багратионом в русско-французской войне 1805 года,
он был удостоен звания генерал-майора. Имя Багратиона гремело на всю Россию. Москва и Петербург
встречали его как национального героя. В честь Багратиона давали балы и обеды. Портреты генерала
висели и во дворцах и в крестьянских избах. Сам император Павел I восхищался его мужеством.
Узнав о том, что Багратион безответно влюблён в необыкновенно красивую, но очень
легкомысленную графиню Екатерину Скавронскую, император решил облагодетельствовать боевого
генерала. Противиться воле императора красавица не посмела. Состоялось венчание... Через
несколько лет Екатерина уехала в Европу якобы для лечения и больше в Россию не возвращалась.
В Европе, где бы ни появлялась принцесса Багратион, как её здесь называли, она везде
производила фурор. Ею был очарован и великий немецкий поэт Гёте, чертами её характера наделял
своих героинь знаменитый французский писатель Бальзак.
Несмотря на всю ветреность, своему Отечеству Екатерина принесла ощутимую пользу. Во
время войны с Наполеоном она собирала по Европе политическую, разведывательную по сути
информацию. В её доме в Вене буквально бурлили антинаполеоновские настроения.
В 1812 году Екатерина овдовела. Бородино стало последним полем битвы для
прославленного генерала. Через несколько лет, выйдя замуж за английского генерала, она сохранила
фамилию Багратион.
Екатерина на 45 лет пережила своего знаменитого мужа. Похоронили ее в Венеции. И сегодня
туристы могут посетить тихий уголок венецианского кладбища, где на мраморной плите сохранилась
надпись Princesse Catherine Bagration, напоминающая о женщине, небольшой портрет которой
сопровождал её мужа во всех сражениях.

История культуры застолий (1)___ в глубь тысячелетий. Ещё в Древнем Египте фараонам (2)____

Особая культура застолий была у древних греков: знатные греки ели лёжа, сидя ели лишь

Задание 6
• Прочитайте тексты (1-5).
• Подберите к каждому из них заголовок, выбрав его из перечня (А-К).
Учтите: 5 заголовков – лишние.
1. С древних времен известны случаи, когда животные помогали человеку в его ратных делах.
Например, во время войны с Египтом персы выпустили перед колоннами воинов огромное
количество кошек. Кроме того, персы держали кошек в руках. Египтяне, поклонявшиеся кошке
как божественному животному, бежали, не приняв боя, так как считали, что лучше проиграть
битву, чем ранить или убить это "святое" животное.
2. Одна из самых ярких страниц во всемирной истории войн связана с боевыми слонами,
которые наносили большой урон врагу. Но вот парадокс! Бывали случаи, когда слоны
становились невольной причиной поражения собственной армии. Так, бирманский царь
выставил против врагов огромную армию, главной мощью которой были слоны. Однако в
отряде противника сражались профессионалы, знавшие слабые места боевых слонов. Свои
стрелы они направили в незащищённые ноги слонов. От боли слоны взбесились, повернули
назад и бросились на собственных воинов, топча всё на своём пути.
3. Кошки давно известны своими удивительными способностями. Так, во время Второй мировой
войны английские военные заметили: кошки чувствуют приближение вражеских
бомбардировщиков намного раньше радаров. Шерсть у животных вставала дыбом, они шипели
и неслись прямиком в бомбоубежище. В Англии даже была учреждена медаль «Мы тоже
служим Родине», которая вручалась отличившимся кошкам.
4. На окраине Парижа есть музей. Он открыт в честь голубей, отличившихся при обороне
столицы Франции. Среди его необычных экспонатов – останки голубя по кличке Храбрый,
который во время войны доставил важное донесение, пролетев сквозь едкий дым отравляющих
газов. Выполнив приказ, птица возвратилась и скончалась в родной голубятне на руках солдат.
За этот подвиг Храбрый был удостоен высшей военной награды страны - Ордена почётного
легиона.
5. Животные не всегда подчиняются воле человека. Так, полным провалом закончилась
попытка американских военных инструкторов обучить морских львов находить в морских
глубинах вражеские мины. Тренировки прошли блестяще. Но как только морских львов
выпустили «на дело» в открытое море, они тут же «удрали». Провалом закончилась и другая
попытка - использовать дельфинов в качестве «живых торпед». Когда один из дельфинов
взорвался во время эксперимента, остальные, с громким криком сбившись в кучу,
отказались выполнять приказы инструктора и стали вести себя крайне агрессивно.
А. Пушистые телепаты и предсказатели Б. Наши любимицы
В. По вкусу морским «царям зверей» дела земные Г. Вся наша сила – в ногах!
Д. «Не сотвори себе кумира!» Е. «Военные игры человека не для нас!»
Ж. Крылатые герои–курьеры З. Воздушные почтальоны всегда в строю
И. Виновники побед и поражений К. Конкуренты служебных собак

TASK 5
Read the text. Then read the sentences (1-8) which follow and circle the right choice (A-D).
Write your answers in the answer sheet.
The other day I came across an interesting article, which said that in 1954, American President
Eisenhower met with alien visitors. According to the article the President was on a planned
meeting in Palm Springs, California, when he suddenly disappeared from the meeting. This fact
did not stay unnoticed from the inquisitive journalists who demanded an explanation. The
explanation was not given immediately which caused further spreading of the rumours. The
media suspected that the President was either very ill, or worse, had died.
In order to stop these rumours from spreading, Press Secretary James Haggerty invited the
journalists to a press conference, and told them that Eisenhower had suffered from a broken
tooth while eating a chicken dinner, and was treated by a local dentist. Sounds reasonable, right?
But, later in 1979 it was discovered that the dentist’s wife knew nothing of this visit. The
rumours gained new strength, and continue even to this day.
The journalists went further and examined Eisenhower’s health documents kept at the
Eisenhower Library. The documents said nothing about the dental treatment as if he had for the
month of February, 1954. Furthermore, many ‘thank you’ notes were sent out to those who
assisted in the President’s visit to California including florists, those who offered to play golf
with Eisenhower, people who met his plane, and the minister who attended the Sunday church
service with the President. However, no dentist was mentioned.
This ongoing rumour has been lately discussed on Larry W. Bryant’s blog site. Bryant is a well
known columnist for UFO ⃰ Magazine. Bryant raised this issue again after a man who called
himself ‘Bob’ called the radio programme ‘Coast to Coast AM’ and told its journalist George
Noory that he had an old 16mm black and white film which showed Eisenhower and eccentric
inventor and billionaire, Howard Hughes. The two men were shown inspecting remains of a
crashed flying saucer, along with its alien crew.
Of course, all we have here is one man’s testimony. And a disturbing fact is that during the radio
broadcast, George Noory told the man that he would talk to him off the air. What the two
discussed or what additional details Noory obtained from this conversation is not known. While
on the air, the unknown man told the audience that he was military, and his job was monitoring
satellite cameras. When the man was asked how he got the film, he stated that his parents gave it
to him. The man added that he had watched some of the film, and what he had seen ‘scared him
to death’. This is all very interesting, and if the entire story could be proven, it would certainly
shock the world.
