If someone asks you what the best way of travelling from London to Paris is, you could suggest flying, taking

Прочитайте текст и выполните задания к нему (А25—АЗО).
§ 1. In 2004, Pen Hadow became the first person to trek to the North Pole alone. That meant swimming
through unimaginably cold waters, fighting frostbite and risking encounters with polar bears. Just eight months
later, he made a similar trip to the South Pole. Now he is back in the Arctic again, preparing for an expedition
he says is somewhat of a different kind. This time there is far more at stake. Pen and two colleagues will set out
on a three-month, 1,000-kilometre trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements of the thickness
and density of the ice. Nobody has ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of vital importance
to the scientific community. This will be the truest picture yet of what global warming is doing to the ice that
covers the polar region.
§ 2. Pen and his wife live in the country with their two children. 'They were one and five when I last went,
and I made a mistake in the way I said goodbye. I thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, "You're the
man of the house now, look after your mum and your sister." He absolutely took it to heart, asking his mum how
she was all the time, but the strain eventually became too much. While it was well intentioned, it was an unfair
thing to do.’ For similar reasons he is planning to have very little contact with them while in the Arctic. 'If you call
them, you remind them how far away you are.’
§ 3. He is spending these last days before departure preparing his kit. ‘Out on the ice, one is virtually incapable
of mending things,' he says. With him will be Ann Daniels, one of the world’s leading polar explorers, and the
expedition photographer, Martin Hartley. They will be supported by a crew of six, flying in supplies. Being part of
a team is actually more stressful to someone with his mentality, says Pen, and something else is on his mind too.
‘I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I've done far less training than I’m comfortable with.’ Why? ‘Organisational things
always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful of what I’m going to ask of myself.’
§ 4. Pen believes his mission reconnects exploration with the search for knowledge that drove previous
generations into the unknown. 'Making it to the North Pole was ultimately a personal ambition,’ he admits,
'and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit from
the data, and we're creating a platform in which to engage as many people as possible in what’s happening in the
Arctic Ocean.’

А25. In paragraph 1, what do we learn about Pen Hadow’s opinion of the new expedition?
1) He thinks it may be harder than his previous journeys.
2) He is aware of the huge significance of its aims.
3) He is looking forward to the scientific work it will involve.
A26. When talking about leaving his children for long periods, Pen mentions feeling
1) guilty that he once added to the pressure caused by his absence.
2) sad that he is missing so much of their growing up.
3) sorry that he can’t telephone more often.
A27. What is worrying Pen about the new expedition?
1) whether the equipment will work properly in icy conditions
2) whether he will be mentally prepared
3) whether he will still be fit enough to take part
A28. When he compares the new expedition to his previous ones, Pen feels
1) pleased that more people will benefit from it.
2) doubtful about its long-term usefulness.
3) relieved that the general public will be more supportive.

§ 1. Whether they’re cheering in the stadium or yelling at the referee from the sofa, sports fans exist all over
the world. The long-term attachment to a particular sport or team appears to develop around the age of eight
or nine, and the sport or team a person decides to follow is largely influenced by their social circle rather than
their personal participation in a sport. Research into the psychology of sports fans has revealed some common
principles that apply to the behaviour of most fans.
§ 2. Have you ever heard a sports fan boasting, 'We’re top of the league at the moment'? They choose to use
the pronoun 'we' to report their team’s performance. Fans’ use of 'we’ to talk about their favourite team
demonstrates the strong sense of identity fans feel with their club. When their team is doing well, they enjoy
experiencing the victory as if they had played a part in the success themselves.
§ 3. The opposite of this often happens after a team suffers a defeat. Fans in this case may refer to the team
as 'they' in order to distance themselves from their team’s disappointing match result. They will be unlikely
to wear any clothing that identifies them as a supporter after losing to a rival team. However, this is not the case
with fiercely loyal or 'true' fans. They will carry on wearing their team scarf even when their team performs
badly and will say with genuine sadness, ‘They beat us three nil.'
§ 4. Psychologists have also studied the way in which fans change while watching their chosen sport. Someone
who is usually shy and quiet can be seen shouting, screaming and jumping while watching their favourite
team play. The effect of being in a crowd of spectators enjoying the same activity allows people to become less
self-conscious and more confident. For many, a live sporting event is the only place they feel comfortable showing
their feelings openly in public. It can be a great way to relieve stress and improve personal well-being.
§ 5. Finally, most interesting is the way in which sports fans swear by their superstitions or lucky charms.
Wearing a certain item of clothing or carrying a ‘lucky’ object is common practice for many. People who may not
be superstitious in any other aspect of their life will claim that wearing a certain item of ‘lucky’ clothing will make
their team play better. Of course in reality it doesn’t matter whether you have your lucky coin, but superstitions
are taken very seriously by sports fans and 1 for one would not like to try and persuade them otherwise!

§ 1. I'm on ту feet, team scarf raised above my head, yelling at the TV as our top scorer touches down in
the closing seconds of the game. I look around at my grandpa, dad and uncle and tears sting my eyes. Three
generations of the same family united in their love for their team. I was raised on a diet of live and TV games.
But if a team or sport isn’t in your family DNA, how do you know who to support?
§ 2. The most obvious route to becoming a sports fan is geographical. If there's a team or player who
competes for your hometown, it creates an almost automatic sympathy. You share the same space and the same
history. Local sportspeople are a source of civic pride and provoke fierce loyalty in their fans, even when the
sporting performance is less than perfect.
§ 3. Another reason is style. A person can be simply so impressed by an individual sportsperson that they
adopt the sport. Usain Bolt powering along the track has made athletics fans of us all. Dream teams can also have
the same effect. Now you don’t need to be from the city of Barcelona to back Barca football club. They have
developed into a brand that stands for style and success, with huge international appeal.
§ 4. Some say that sport should be about a gut feeling (внутреннее чувство) that you will support players
through thick and thin. For any 'true’ supporter, the worst kind of fans are those who shout their support loudest
when times are good, but are nowhere to be seen when the bad times hit. And they really annoy the fans who
remain loyal through the inevitable highs and lows of sporting life.
§ 5. If team-switching makes you a fake fan, so does peer pressure. No one should support a team or player
because they are told to. Of course, if you spend time with a crazy fan of any sport, the enthusiasm starts
to influence you. So you may find yourself developing a genuine interest and benefiting from that person’s
knowledge. But to be told you have to offer your support is unacceptable.
§ 6. So what about my own case? Do I consider myself a ‘true’ fan? Of course. Hasn’t there been pressure from
my family to do what they do? Well, I don’t see it that way. I don't have to devote myself to their team or to sport
at all. I enjoy the tight connection that being in a fan family offers me. The support we show our team is an
extension of the support we show for each other. It’s a kind of inheritance, as much as having my dad’s nose,
or being good at music like, my mom. Who wouldn't want to stand for that?

А25. What does the writer say about being a fan of a local team or player?
1) The sportspeople don't have to play brilliantly to get huge support from the fans.
2) It’s cheaper to get to matches if you live in the same geographical area as your team.
3) If you can't get to a stadium to see a game, it's easy to follow it on the news.
A26. According to the writer, what might make a person become a sports fan?
1) being influenced by a particular brand of sports clothes
2) developing an interest in a sport you have never tried before
3) witnessing outstanding sporting performance by a team or player
A27. In paragraph 5, the writer suggests that you can't be a true fan if you
1) don’t listen to others who have more knowledge than you.
2) haven't made the choice of team voluntarily.
3) don’t have friends who are as enthusiastic as you.
A28. In paragraph 6, how does the writer summarise the importance of family and sport?
1) Being fans of the same team brings the family closer together.
2) Having to devote time to sport is just part of family life.
3) Having the same interests as older generations which is quite natural.

§ 1. Doug Allan films wild animals in cold places. He trained as a marine biologist and commercial diver.
Diving was his first passion, where he learned about survival in cold places. His big break came when a TV crew
turned up in Antarctica, where Allan was working, to film a wildlife documentary. T ended up taking the crew to
different places, and I realised that being a wildlife cameraman ticked all the boxes: travel, adventure, underwater.’
§ 2. He is now a top cameraman and has worked on many major TV wildlife series. '1 came along at a good
time. When I started, hardly anyone had been to the Antarctic. You had elephant people, chimpanzee people.
1 just became the cold man. It was like all these amazing sequences were just waiting to be captured on film.’
The camera and communications technology was very basic when he started 35 years ago. ‘It is certainly easier
to film today. If you shot something then, you had to remember it. Today, with digital technology, you can shoot
a lot and look at it immediately. You used to have to think what shots you needed next. You shot less. Film was
very expensive.'
§ 3. 'My value is field experience in cold conditions. I have a feel for it. I have spent so much time on sea ice
it now feels like crossing the street. I do get cold toes but the poles are healthy places. There are no diseases
or mosquitoes.'
§ 4. Allan recently got permission to film sequences for a major TV series in Kong Karls Land, a group
of islands in the Arctic Ocean. It is a world of polar bears and is strictly off limits to all but the most fearless
or foolish. After watching polar bear dens in the snow slopes for 23 days, Allan had seen just one mother bear
and her cub. By day 24, though, he says, he was living in bear world, at bear speed, with bear senses.
§ 5. 'We find a new hole and wait. We hop, stretch and run to stay warm. Five hours of watching and then
with no warning at all I catch a glimpse so brief that I almost miss it. But the camera’s locked on the hole on full
zoom and my eye's very’ quickly on the viewfinder. Nothing for a couple of seconds and then an unmistakable
black nose. In less than a minute she has her front legs out and is resting on the snow in front of the hole. I’ve
just taken a close-up, thinking this can't get much better ... when she sets off on a long slide down the slope. Then
two cubs appear at the den entrance. Clearly it's their first view of the world ... It’s show time on the slopes and
we have front-row seats.'

§ 1. Не is not much bigger than his racket and struggles to see over the net, but that has not reduced the
amount of excitement about Marc Kemp, a five-year-old tennis player from Texas. He even has his own website,
and there cannot be many boys his age who have an official biography that stretches to more than 1,000 words.
At an age when most boys just want to have fun and may not even have started school, Marc is already famous.
But his plan now seems to be to concentrate on tennis, and to cut down on the endless media promotion.
§ 2. An offer from a special tennis academy in France has meant Marc’s entire family have now relocated there
to support him. His father is a confident man. ‘If I’m going to make a prediction, I’d say he could become world
number one,’ he has said. Critics have responded that he is either crazy or deliberately exaggerating his son’s
prospects. T suppose if I were in their shoes, I’d have made a snap judgement too, but I get really annoyed when
people don’t have the full facts. It would also be nice if they actually bothered to come to the court and see what
he is capable of.’
§ 3. Top tennis coach Martina Voronova has watched Marc and, although she is impressed, adds a note of
caution. 'I think it’s notoriously tricky to make accurate predictions about a child’s future at this stage. There are
some kids who don’t build up either the muscles or the skill until they are 16 or so, and it is only then that you
can make a realistic decision about whether they should turn professional. Marc looks as if he is having fun
practising on the court, and there’s no evidence he’s being pushed to do this against his will, but we don't know
how he’s going to develop either physically or mentally.’
§ 4. Ex-tennis prodigy Andrea McDonald, who left the sport before she was 20, says, 'He’s obviously incredibly
dedicated. 1 was not dissimilar in that respect. But more impressive is the fact that Marc goes through all the
repetitive exercises with a big smile on his face. He always seems ready for more, whereas I can remember feeling
miserable because of all the pressure. I was painfully aware of not having much freedom. Sometimes I just
wanted to switch off and forget tennis for a while.’ Marc’s father insists that he won’t be disappointed if Marc
eventually decides tennis isn’t for him. ‘I just want him to stay healthy and to enjoy his life. Our love is not tied
to wins and losses. We are just doing our best to make sure that he stays grounded and down to earth.’

А25. What is unusual about Marc Kemp compared to other talented children?
1) He has actively tried to become well-known.
2) He has started full-time education at a young age.
3) He has a greater level of physical development.
A26. Why does Marc’s father express irritation with his critics?
1) They know very little about tennis.
2) They put too much pressure on his family.
3) They judge Marc without having seen him in action.
A27. Why is Martina Voronova unconvinced that Marc will continue to do well?
1) She has noticed that he lacks mental strength to win.
2) She is aware that he may develop in unexpected ways.
3) She feels he is being forced to practise too much.
A28. Andrea McDonald says that compared to Marc, she was
1) unable to match his level of dedication.
2) given a lot of freedom to decide her schedule.
3) less positive about the hard work she had to do.

§ 1. As the plane landed in Saint Lucia, I had no idea of the enormous size of the challenge 1 had taken on.
Having worked solidly for three months prior to my flight in order to raise funds, I thought I might now get the
chance to take it easy for a bit. There was sun, palm trees and clear blue water. It seemed as far away from hard
work as 1 could imagine. This thought couldn’t have been further from the truth.
§ 2.1 had been selected as one of twenty-one trainees to participate in a three-month transatlantic voyage
from the Caribbean to the UK. Although a few were in their twenties, at only eighteen years of age and full
of excitement, I was fairly typical of the kind of trainee aboard the forty-metre sail training ship. The first thing
the permanent crew had to do was to demonstrate how we were going to successfully get the ship back to
the UK. Those who had sailing experience had a lot to learn. Those who hadn’t, like myself, were few in number
and had an even greater challenge!
§ 3. There was no time to lose. We were immediately sent up the masts (мачты) to take down the sails, which
meant anyone with a fear of heights had to get over it pretty quickly. Twenty-five metres might not seem that
high in the calm seas off the local beaches, but it would prove to be very different in the middle of the Atlantic,
when we would have to cope with gale (штормовой) force winds as well. Next was taking orders from the chef.
Peeling potatoes for thirty is not the most stimulating job, but it is one of the most vital. Anyone who works
outdoors knows how much a good meal is appreciated. Initially we must have been a hindrance rather than
a help, but day by day we learned to overcome obstacles like homesickness and tiredness, and became an efficient,
supportive unit.
§ 4. Having been at sea without setting foot on dry land for a fortnight, it came as a massive blow that we
would be unable to stop at Flores, an island in the middle of the Atlantic, because of a violent storm. We wouldn't
get to the neighbouring island until the following day.
§ 5. After three months at sea, 1 felt a mixture of emotions as my family rushed to greet me at Southampton.
It truly had been a character-building experience and I wasn’t ready to give up my deck shoes. Twenty years
later, I learned that the boat, named Astrid, was no more. She sank off the coast of Ireland in rough seas, but her
memory will live on in the hundreds of teenagers who had the chance to be part of her adventure.

§ 1. Glancing down at the screen, I see that yet again my face is all over social media. This time eating
a sandwich. In fact, wolfing down a sandwich as I’m starving after a football match. It’s at that moment when
I’m hot, sweaty and with mayonnaise all round my mouth that my mum takes a picture and posts it. Comments
flood in about how I look, how greedy I must be, and even how I’m showing off. Me showing off? I wasn’t ready
for the picture, didn’t ask for it and the last thing I wanted was for it to go online. But my mum went ahead
anyway.
§ 2. To be fair to her, we had in fact just won the match, so she wanted to spread the news of our success.
Capturing some post-match action was in her mind just a bit of fun. And me with food round my mouth just

you’re fifteen, it’s not a great look. 1 know I should be happy that she felt proud of me, but I just wish she would

their parents share about them online. There’s even a word for it — ‘sharenting’ — the constant posting
by parents of content related to their children. And even for someone born into the so-called digital age, I was
amazed by the facts and figures. The average child will have had a digital identity created by the age of six
months, many from the day they are born. A study found that typical parents will have done 1,500 picture shares
by the time their child is five.
§ 4. This is what gets me about the whole sharenting question. In a world where adults are telling us to
respect others and think before we act, how does that fit with them taking pictures of their kids' every move?
One of my friends has her social media accounts monitored 24/7 by her parents, but her family posts images of
her online without a second thought. Of course, we all need to stay safe online, but we also want some control
and privacy.
§ 5. It might seem strange to talk about privacy in relation to global communication, but for some teenagers
the Internet is their personal space, the one opportunity to be themselves away from the boundaries of school
and home life. If I’m not happy about a picture or other content related to me, I should have my say on whether
it gets uploaded or not. If family life is about respecting each other, then on behalf of teenagers, parents please,
no posts without permission.

§ 1. At the home of the Oscars on Hollywood Boulevard, 500 sets of golden cutlery had been laid out. The
well-groomed guests and a smart group of reporters had flown into Los Angeles. Now they were taking their seats
in the theatre. In the wings the Hollywood stars who were acting as presenters for the evening awaited their cue.
And there in the front row sat a little-known man who spends much of his time staring into puddles.
§ 2. Not just puddles, actually. Some of the pools he likes to examine, far away in the Arctic, resemble drill
holes, just a centimetre across. Some days he flies drones over them. Other times, he bends over them himself,
gathering their contents into test tubes.
§ 3. On this November evening, the man, Joseph Cook, arrived at the theatre with his family. Before the
ceremony began, his father stepped up to the stage to take a picture of Cook, his wife and his mother. Cook had
never known them to fuss so much about their outfits. They were not the only ones. Searching for their seats
in the rows behind the Cooks were mathematicians in tuxedos and biologists in cocktail dresses. They were here
to witness the science world’s closest approximation of the Academy Awards.
§ 4. Every two years, the Rolex Awards for Enterprise honour scientists and explorers who have ambitious
plans to register unknown corners of our planet or develop life-enhancing technology. Launched 40 years ago,
this latest ceremony would welcome five new ‘laureates’ — who would each receive 100,000 Swiss francs towards
their projects — and another five young laureates, who would be given 50,000 Swiss francs. This being a Rolex
affair, just before the ceremony the engraved watches the laureates also received were put on, and they were
entertained to a luxury dinner.
§ 5. Why had Cook been singled out as one of this year’s winners? The answer lay on the vast expanse of the
Greenland ice sheet. You will probably imagine a vast piece of ice, all of the brilliant white of a snowstorm in
a Hollywood movie. In fact, the ice is rich in colour. 'There are colours there that I’ve seen nowhere else,' says
Cook. ‘You see these wonderful neon blues, deep purples and pastel shades everywhere.’ Cook knows these
colours are important for more than their beauty. They also hold scientific secrets, and Cook, as one of only
around 200 glacial (about ice) microbiologists in the world, is trying to discover them. His research focuses
on how, as the ice darkens, it melts more quickly and the effect this has on the harm already caused by global
warming.

§ 1. I recently visited a hotel in France which has no visible human staff. It runs with apparently no human
contact. Most of the services are provided by robots and machines. The concept is to provide an environmentally
friendly hotel where staff and running costs kept to a minimum.
§ 2. So I lost no time in booking myself a room at one of these hotels and going to see it for myself. And sure
enough, there at the reception desk was a machine. 'I’d like to check in please,’ I shouted, wondering if the
machine would respond to my voice, and feeling thrilled that I was about to have my first ever conversation with
a check-in machine. Nothing. But then I noticed a written message in the machine's screen. 'Please insert your
credit card and key in your booking reference, then follow the instructions.’ No conversation. How disappointing.
§ 3. Staying at the hotel costs from €35 (more if you want a bigger room). That's a bargain for Paris, where
a stay in a more conventional hotel can easily cost two or three times that much. The hotel is located near to the
amusement park, Disneyland Paris.
§ 4. Back in the hotel, as well as machines to check in, there are vending machines to serve drinks and snacks
and vacuum cleaners that work without a human, using sensors to navigate around the rooms. The laundry has
robots which do all the washing unaided. Another innovation is the use of face recognition instead of keys to
get into your room. A photograph of the guest’s face is taken at the reception desk by the check-in machines.
With 60 rooms in the building, there is a lot of coming and going. Guests are actively encouraged to stop and
get a coffee from one of the machines in the guest lounge with other guests, so there is at least some social
interaction. One area where humans are absolutely essential for the hotel is security. There are scanners and
CCTV cameras everywhere, and the footage from these is watched by human security guards, no matter whether
or not the hotel is full. It is their job to make sure that the guests are safe — and that no one causes any damage
to hotel property.
§ 5. Critics say that businesses like this automated hotel will mean that more and more roles can be
performed by robots and machines. But there are many who argue that robots can make our lives easier. But this
can only happen if guests are prepared to put their trust in machines and don’t mind the lack of personal contact.
Only then will this type of hotel be a success. Time will tell if this is the case.

I can’t believe there are only two weeks until the big day! I (Al) ... for this race for the last six months, but
I still (A2) ... ready. If I had known it took so long to get fit, I would have started training far earlier! The injuries
I’ve had haven't helped, though. Actually, last Monday, I had another setback. My friend Andy and I (A3) ... in the
park when I tripped over a rock and twisted my ankle. It’s not serious, but my doctor warned me not to make it
worse, so I haven’t run on it since then. Hopefully, it will have healed by next Tuesday when I train with the school
athletics team. What else? Oh, I (A4) ... to register for the half-marathon instead of the full marathon. I considered
doing the full marathon — but over the last few days I have been told by a lot of people that it’s not suitable
for teenagers. I just hope that I (A5) ... fit enough to finish the race! I (A6) ... more and more nervous every
day — but I know it’s OK if I walk some of the distance. Wish me luck everyone!

Being part of the top college tennis team means I have to stay in great shape, so however hard I’m studying,

in which you know the ropes.

have time or the opportunity to do it in the old-fashioned way.

§ 1. Anna has set the alarm for tomorrow morning and is preparing for school as usual. No need to pack her
bag tonight though because this time tomorrow Anna will be having her first of four virtual school days planned
for this school year.
§ 2. Anna’s day will begin as usual as she joins her younger siblings for breakfast, then she’ll retreat to her
room where she’ll log on, check her timetable and get going on the day’s lessons. Maybe she’ll start with maths.
Who knows? For one day, the choice will be hers. What is more, she’ll be able to enjoy this new-found sense of
freedom from the comfort of her own home — knowing that school will remain open for teachers to be on hand
for online support.
§ 3. Is this paving the way for full-time cyber school? Not at all! This pilot scheme starts at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
It will only offer students a small number of planned virtual study days during the academic year. The idea is
becoming a hot topic amongst teachers and students following the success of a trial at a neighbouring school.
A bout of extremely bad weather resulted in some schools closing for several days, or 'snow days’ as they are
known. Poor attendance on snow days means that teachers often have to adapt the syllabus, so that students can
catch up on missed lessons — all very stressful when exams loom. When one neighbouring school offered its
students the chance to study at home the results were surprising, with a 90 % online attendance.
§ 4. The results caught the attention of other head teachers on the look-out for suggestions on how to motivate
teachers and students alike and improve grades. They believe that a few days of virtual school is going to offer
an exciting change to the usual routine. More progressive teachers, keen to make the most of this scheme, insist,
the online collaboration between students and teachers is preparing them for the future. By the time they get
to university, they’ll have been collaborating online for a few years. It’s a win-win situation.
§ 5. However, not everyone is sold on the idea. Some teachers worry that the scheme is likely to put them
under increasing pressure to plan even more than they already do. They’ll also have the added responsibility
of being on call for feedback at any time during the school day.
§ 6. For the time being, Anna’s glad she’s going to have more control over her time and be her own boss for
the day. Will she miss being in class with her friends? 'Yeah, kind of, but we’ll be doing stuff online together
so I think it'll be OK.'

А25. What are the advantages of the free choice of lessons for Anna?
1) Without the teachers present, she can study anything.
2) She can decide for herself which subjects she does when.
3) The right choice leaves her free to do other things.
A26. The results of a one-day trial of cyber school
1) were unexpectedly good.
2) paved the way for full-time virtual school.
3) showed that teachers found it stressful.
A27. Why did the head teachers like the idea of virtual school days?
1) Students would work better from home.
2) It would make students and teachers want to achieve more.
3) Everybody would get more holiday time.
A28. Why do virtual school days cause concern for some teachers?
1) They don’t think the idea helps students get better grades.
2) They don’t want to have an increased workload.
3) They aren’t sure students really benefit from them.
