2. Прочитайте четыре мини-текста и ответьте на вопросы 1 - 8, приведённые после них. В каждом случае вашим ответом должна быть буква, соответствующая выбранному вами мини-тексту.

A) Dublin. You will find fine old buildings, monuments and statues round every corner of this fascinating city in Ireland, the island country to the west of England. The centre of the capital is small so it is better explored on foot rather than by bus or taxi. The city is also an important cultural centre with a wide range of art galleries, theatres and museums to suit all tastes and budgets. If you like music why not go to one of the many bars near the river? Here you can enjoy traditional Irish folk music for free.

B) Warsaw. This is a relatively modern city by Polish standards. The centre part of the capital was destroyed during the Second World War so you'll discover an interesting mix of old and new architecture. Start your visit with a walk in the old town before stopping for a coffee in one of the attractive cafés on the square. It's a perfect place to sit and watch the world go by. Then perhaps you will be ready to visit the Royal Castle and learn how kings once lived. After lunch, head for the new town and do some serious shopping in the city's department stores and souvenir shops.

C) Budapest. The river Danube divides the city into two parts - Buda and Pest so you can enjoy a walk near the river or pleasant boat trip. If you are feeling more energetic, why not spend the afternoon swimming in one of the many thermal spas? The city has an excellent public transport system and many visitors get on the number 2 "sightseeing" tram which takes in lots of the capital's finest sights, including the beautiful five-star Gresham Hotel, the Chain Bridge and the whole panorama of the old city of Buda.

D) Istanbul. Istanbul may not be the capital of Turkey but it is the country's largest city and main business centre, too. The Bosporus is on one side of the city and the Black Sea is on the other. So make time for an interesting cruise during your visit. The city is also famous for its fine examples of Islamic, Roman and nineteenth-century architecture. If you don't mind the crowds why not head for the lively market district? There you can buy just about anything from second-hand clothes and antiques to exotic spices. Don't forget to check out the book bazaar.

Tour guide: Welcome to our tour, Ghosts of the Tower of London, everyone. The Tower has stood on this ground since 1066, when Duke William of Normandy invaded England, and throughout its history it was used as a prison and place of execution... That's may be why today, some people say this is one of the scariest places on earth. There are many tales of ghosts here. The ghost most people see is Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII. When she didn't give birth to a boy she was beheaded on Tower Green in 1536. People said that they saw a headless female figure in a white dress close to where she was killed, near Queen's House. She is also said to be in the Chapel Royal, where the same headless figure were seen leading a ghostly procession of Lords and Ladies... towards where her headless body is buried. Are you afraid of this story? Let's go to the next stop of our tour...
