`New York

New York, America’s largest city,  is the national leader in business, finance, manufacturing, the service industries, fashion and the arts. Its history begins with an Italian navigator, Giovanni da Verrazano, who about 1524 sailed into the present New York bay. In 1609 Captain Henry Hudson explored the harbor and the river, later named after him. In 1624 Dutch colonists arrived and settled the permanent settlement, named New Amsterdam. The following year the Dutch West Indian Company bought the whole island of Manhattan from Indians for a few trinkets. Dutch was the official language of New Amsterdam, but before its population reached 500 it was reported that 18 different languages were spoken there. In 1663 the colony was captured by the British fleet under Duke of York and renamed New York, but the Dutch and those who came with them stayed, so far from the very first years of its existence New York was truly an international city.

New York was active in the colonial opposition to Britain and several battles were fought in this area. In 1778 the British conquered the city and controlled it for the rest of the war. When in November 1783 the Americans returned, they found New York in a very poor state. Out of its 4000 buildings, 1000 had been burned and the rest were hardly inhabitable. An energetic programme of general reconstruction was taken. Within the next four years the population doubled and in 1800 reached 60 000. By 1815 the value of imports arriving in New York harbor was double of that of Boston and three times that of Philadelphia, the major colonial ports before the revolutionary War. The construction of the Erie Canal, the bridge canal between Buffalo, on Lake Erie, and Albany, on the Hudson, was built in 1826. It cut travel time one-third, shipping costs nine-tenth, opened the Great Lakes area and made New York City chief Atlantic port of the USA. The opening of the Erie Canal accelerated even more the expansion of the city, already the nation’s largest.  

After the Civil War of 1861-1865, industrial development was improved and brought a massive wave of immigration from all over the world. During the 19th century the city expanded northwest from the tip of Manhattan and by 1784 included the whole island as well as the territory of the present Bronx. In 1898 New York assumed its boundaries annexing Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

11.   According to the passage, the settlement on the Hudson River was started by

A   Captain Henry Hudson.

B   Giovanni da Verrazano.

C   the Dutch West Indian Company.

D   immigrants from the Netherlands.

12.   Which of the following is not true?

     A   The British fleet occupied New Amsterdam.

     B   The Dutch West Indian Company bought the settlement for a few trinkets.

     C  New Amsterdam was renamed New York in honour of Duke of York .

     D   New Amsterdam was an international city.

 13.    The plan for general reconstruction was adopted because

      A   the population of New York doubled.

      B   New Yorkers took an active part in the Revolutionary War .

      C   5000 houses were burned.

      D   3000 houses were hardly inhabitable.

 14.    Which of the following is true?

      A Before the Revolutionary War Boston was the largest colonial port.

      B   Before the Revolutionary War New York was the largest colonial port.        

      C After the Revolutionary War the port of Philadelphia was larger than the port of Boston.

      D  During the Revolutionary War the port of New York was larger than the port of Boston.

 15.     Why was the construction of Erie Canal so important?

A  Erie Canal made New York the major port of the US.

B   Erie Canal decreased travel fare three times.

C   Goods were transported at a lower price.        

 D   According to the construction of Erie Canal the Great Lakes were discovered.

Task 2.

Read the text and decide if the statements (6-10) True or False.

 Marie Tussaud

Marie Tussaud was born in Strasbourg in 1761. Her father died two months before she was born, and her family moved to Switzerland. Her mother worked for a German doctor. The doctor was a kind man who enjoyed making wax models of parts of the human body. He soon got a reputation for making good likeness of people’s heads as well.

He moved to Paris because he wanted to earn money by making models of the rich and famous. Soon Marie and her mother joined him in Paris. When she was six years old, the doctor taught her how to work in wax. Her portraits became so popular that by the time she was twenty she was living in the Palace of Versailles because the royal family invited her to live there.

The French Revolution started in 1789, and this was the beginning of hard times for Marie. However, she met and married Francois Tussaud, who was an engineer. They had three children, a daughter who died and two sons.

In 1802 she received permission from Napoleon to go to London because she wanted to take her waxwork collection to England. She went round Britain and Ireland with her four-year-old son and her shows were a great success. She never saw France or her husband again.

She opened her exhibition centre in London in 1835, and it has been in the same place ever since. Marie died in 1850. Madam Tussaud’s is now London’s most popular tourist attraction. About 2.2 million people visit it every year.

      16. Marie Tussaud was born in London in 1671.

     17. She was famous by the time she was twenty.

     18. She had four children.

     19. She wanted to take her waxwork collection to Britain.

     20. She opened her exhibition centre in 1839.

Dave: Well, everyone has been talking about having a barbecue down by the river, so why don’t you  pick up some hamburgers and hot dogs?

Scott: Okay, but how much hamburgers meat are we going to need? And hot dogs too?

Dave: Uh, I don’t know. How about three pounds of hamburgers and a couple packages of hot dogs?

Scott: Oh, that’s not going to be enough. Do you remember the last picnic we went on? Your roommate, Jim, ate about ten hamburgers by himself!

Dave: You are right. Let’s see. I’d better write this down. Uh, let’s see about nine pounds of hamburgers meat and, uh,.., seven packages of hot dogs.

Scott: And you better buy some chicken for  those who don’t like hamburgers or hot dogs.

Dave: Okay. How about five or six bags of potato chips?

Scott: Hhh. Better make that eight or so.

Dave:  Alright,. Oh, and we are going to need some hamburgers and hot dog buns. How about five packages? I think that sounds about right.

Scott:  Yeah, you better  pick up some mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise  too.

Dave: Okay. What else? Uh, we are going to need  some soft drinks. How about ten of those big 2-liter bottles?

Scott: Sounds fine.

Dave: Okay, and what about desserts?

Scott: Well, maybe we could  ask Kathy to make a few cherry pies like she did last time.

Dave: Well, I would mind that, but you know, she’s been very busy  working two jobs, so I’d hate to ask her. Why don’t you make some of your oatmeal cookies? You could ask Susan to help you!

Different Colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen.  In her new series «Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make.  They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are. 

«Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?» says Verity.  “Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red.  It’s never green.  Why not?  For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products as being a bit disgusting.  It’s the same for businesses.  We respect a company, which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange.  People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”

During this four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each programme.  She meets people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who design food packets, to people who name the colours of lipsticks.  Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of coloured lights.  However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results. 

Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new.  But because Verity is goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it’s up to the viewers to make their own decisions about how much they should believe.

11. What is the writer doing in this text?

1. giving information about how colours influence us 
2. reporting what happens in a new television series
3. giving information about a television presenter 
4. giving his opinion of a recent television show 

12. Which of the following shows the probable content of the four shows?

1. Part 1 – Health; Part 2 – Products and Industry; Part 3 – Emotions; Part 4 – Decisions 
2. Part 1 – Blue and Black; Part 2 – Red and Orange; Part 3 – White and Grey; Part 4 – Green and Yellow

4. Part 1 – Cleaning Products; Part 2 – Make-up; Part 3 – Clothes; Part 4 – Food  

13. According to Verity, why is a knowledge of colour important?

1. It can help you to choose the best products. 
2. It can give you new ideas.
3. It can help you to change people’s minds.
4. It can help you to sell products.

14. Who does the writer respect least?

Those days there were not a lot of theatres in towns and actors and actresses had to travel moving from one place to another with (26 THEY) shows. Sometimes they visited Stratford-on-Avon. William liked to watch them playing. He got fond of their profession and he decided to become an actor.

In his works he reflected events of his contemporaries` life. His plays (27 STAGE) in many theatres, translated into many foreign languages. That made Shakespeare a very popular man.

Part 1:

You are going to read an article about social networks. Choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

Social networks

Business applications
Social networks connect people at low cost; this can be beneficial for entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to expand their contact base. These networks often act as a customer relationship management tool for companies selling products and services. Companies can also use social networks for advertising in the form of banners and text ads. Since businesses operate globally, social networks can make it easier to keep in touch with contacts around the world. 
Medical applications
Social networks are beginning to be adopted by healthcare professionals as a means to manage institutional knowledge, disseminate peer to peer knowledge and to highlight individual physicians and institutions. The advantage of using a dedicated medical social networking site is that all the members are screened against the state licensing board list of practitioners. The role of social networks is especially of interest to pharmaceutical companies who spend approximately "32 percent of their marketing dollars" attempting to influence the opinion leaders of social networks. 
Languages, nationalities and academia
Various social networking sites have sprung up catering to different languages and countries. The popular site Facebook has been cloned for various countries and languages and some specializing in connecting students and faculty. 
Social networks for social good
Several websites are beginning to tap into the power of the social networking model for social good. Such models may be highly successful for connecting otherwise fragmented industries and small organizations without the resources to reach a broader audience with interested and passionate users. Users benefit by interacting with a like-minded community and finding a channel for their energy and giving. 
Business model
Few social networks currently charge money for membership. In part, this may be because social networking is a relatively new service, and the value of using them has not been firmly established in customers' minds. Companies such as MySpace and Facebook sell online advertising on their site. Hence, they are seeking large memberships, and charging for membership would be counterproductive. Some believe that the deeper information that the sites have on each user will allow much better targeted advertising than any other site can currently provide. Sites are also seeking other ways to make money, such as by creating an online marketplace or by selling professional information and social connections to businesses. 
Privacy issues
On large social networking services, there have been growing concerns about users giving out too much personal information and the threat of sexual predators. Users of these services need to be aware of data theft or viruses. However, large services, such as MySpace, often work with law enforcement to try to prevent such incidents. In addition, there is a perceived privacy threat in relation to placing too much personal information in the hands of large corporations or governmental bodies, allowing a profile to be produced on an individual's behavior on which decisions, detrimental to an individual, may be taken. 
Investigations
Social network services are increasingly being used in legal and criminal investigations. Information posted on sites such as MySpace and Facebook, has been used by police, probation, and university officials to prosecute users of said sites. In some situations, content posted on MySpace has been used in court.
