Whales

Whales are large, intelligent, and beautiful animals. The biggest whale is the blue whale, which grows up to 29 metres long - the height of a 9-storey building.

The whale is not only the largest animal in the world today, it is the largest animal which has ever lived, it's bigger than the dinosaur. These enormous animals eat about 4 tons of tiny krill each day.

All whales are mammals. We call mammals the animals which are warm-blooded, and feed their kids on milk. In spite of their big bodies, whales move easily through the water. They have adapted to life in the open oceans and never come on land. Unlike fish, whales breathe air into lungs and swim by moving their strong tail up and down. Fish swim by moving their tails left and right.

Whales usually migrate over very long distances each year. They often travel in groups which are called pods. Most whales are very acrobatic and can jump high out of the water.

Whales live in social groups and have very strong social ties. The strongest social ties are between mother and calf (a whale's kid is called a calf). Normally a female whale gives birth to one calf and feeds it on milk, which is very fat. Mother whales care for their calves for a long period of time, for a year at least, feeding them on milk and protecting them. In 2006 an adult whale was spotted in the waters of the Thames. It was very unusual, and the scientists could not understand what the whale was doing in shallow waters of the Thames. Then they found out that it had made up its way to Central London as it was looking for its lost calf. The rescue party tried to save the whale and get it down into the sea, where the other whales of the pod were waiting for it. Unfortunately, the whale died during the rescue operation because of a great shock.

There are still lots of fascinating facts about whales. And lots of mysteries are still waiting to be solved.

Reading

1. Read the texts and find the suitable title. There is one extra title.      

1.  The opening ceremony                        5.  A symbolic meaning

            2.  A great honour                                     6.  A place to visit

            3.  The Olympic team                               7.  A new start

            4.  The Greek calendar                              8.   The best location

A.   The   first   winners   of   the   Olympic   Games   got   free   food   and   housing   for   the          whole lives. They were mentioned in poems and well-known all over Greece. Sculptors      even   built  statues   of  the   competitors.    Everyone     respected    and    admired the winners. In short, the victory in the competitions made the man a national hero and all the little children wanted to be like him.

B.  Olympia was chosen as the place of the Games because it was a peaceful and  neutral area.       There   the   ancient   Greeks   praised   their   most   important   God  – Zeus.   Another  factor   was   that   it   had   a  beautiful   green   valley.   It   was   very  suitable   for   all   kinds   of   sports   competitions.   Also   people   could   easily   get   to Olympia   because   there   were   two   rivers  nearby.   It   was   impossible   to   find   a better place anywhere else in Greece.

 C.  The   Olympiads   were   named   in   honor   of   the   runner   who   came   first   in   the

        stadium   race.   For   example,   the   Olympiad   of   Dionis.   So   the   years   after   this

        Olympiad were named as the first, the second, the third or the fourth year since the Olympiad of Dionis. The early historians used this system to give dates to  important events.

 D.  The    Olympic     Museum     was   founded     in 1993    in  Switzerland.    It  has  a  big

            collection   of   pieces   connected   with   the   Olympic   movement.   It   also   has   the

            largest   number   of   books   and   documents  about   the   Games   in   the   world.   No

            wonder     the  place   is  one   of  the  main   tourist   attractions.  The   museum is

            surrounded by a park with wonderful works of art based on a sporting theme.

E.   The modern Olympics began in 1894. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman    decided to bring back the ancient Greek tradition. He wanted to begin a sports festival to celebrate health, youth and peace. The first modern Olympiad took  place in Athens in 1896. Since then the Olympic Games have been held every four years with two exceptions because of the two world wars.

F.   The Olympic Games traditionally start with the “Parade of the Nations”. Most  of the participating athletes walk out into the stadium. The Greek athletes open  the parade and the hosts appear on stadium the last. The name of each country is   announced   in   French   and   English,  the   official   languages   of   the   Olympic Games, and the language spoken in the country that organizes the Games.

  G.  The five Olympic rings represent the five main regions of the world – Africa, the   Americas,   Asia,   Europe  and   Oceana.   Every   national   flag   in   the   world includes one of the five colours, which are blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The rings are connected and there is a reason for it. It’s done to show that the Games are for all nations. All good sportsmen can come and compete against  one another in unity.

B. Read the text. Say if the statements are true, false  or not stated.  

        When people all over the world are looking for a quick, easy meal, fast food is   the  most    common      choice.   With    good   service,    low   prices   and   a  relaxed atmosphere,   fast   food   looks   like   the   ideal   choice.   In   fact,   over   25   percent   of Europeans eat fast food every day. Fries and hamburgers are sold everywhere: in big   cities,   small   towns,   shopping   malls,   airports,   bus   stations,   schools,   and   even hospitals! There are 31,000 McDonald's worldwide.

        However, fast food companies make clients eat more. They offer over-sized burgers,   extra-large   French   fries,   and   big  portions   of   Coke.   What's   more,   these "large versions" are usually cheaper. The products have lots of calories, sugar and fat.   A   typical   hamburger   at   a   fast   food   restaurant   weighs   170   grams.   In   1957,   it was    just  50  grams.    According     to  scientists,  your   fast  food  meal    is  like  three ordinary meals.

        Fast food doesn't spoil. This is because it has lots of “special” ingredients. There's a video on YouTube that illustrates this. It is based on a true story. In 1991, an engineer from the USA, Tom Scarvell, met with friends for New Year's Eve.

         They stopped at McDonald's on the way home. He bought some cheeseburgers, ate          one and put the other in his coat pocket. Then he forgot about it. A year later, he  took the coat out of the wardrobe, put it on and discovered the cheeseburger in his pocket    from   New     Year's   Eve.   It  looked  exactly    the  same.   He   was    absolutely shocked. He told his friends and family but nobody believed him. So he decided to  start   a   "burger    museum"      to   show    everyone     that   these   cheeseburgers  and  hamburgers don’t decompose.

         He started collecting burgers, one every year. He kept them on bookshelves in his living room in the open air. These burgers look exactly the same, the bun, the   meat, the   cheese,   the   special   sauce,   the   cucumber, even the   lettuce.   They   all  kept their shape and colour for over five years!

         It is surprising that although most people don't think that fast food is the best choice they can't stop going to fast food restaurants, like McDonald’s. The chain has healthy dishes on the menu, such as fruit and vegetables. Why not order them?

         But   you   don’t   go   to   McDonald’s   for   a  green   salad   or   a   yoghurt!   The   unhealthy  hamburgers, French fries and milkshakes  are more common and attractive and to          many people they are tastier than low calorie dishes.

         There is no problem with eating fast food from time to time. If you really are          dreaming about a hamburger,  go and get it. But if you're having a stressful day, remember      that  lunch    in  a  fast  food  restaurant    is  not  a  good   choice.    Doctors strongly   recommend   avoiding   all   fast  food   and   takeaways   these   days.   You   can        occasionally allow yourself a fast food meal. However, if you are eating it more than once a week, think of giving up.

          Fast food should play a small role in your life. If you don't have a way out, have a fast food meal in  one of McDonald’s restaurants but choose the healthier dishes. You   should   be   aware   of   what   you   eat   and   try   to   develop   healthy   eating habits.

 1     McDonald’s is the main fast food chain in the world.

Why laughter is the best medicine?

A group of adults are lying in a circle on the floor listening to a recording of “The Laughing Policeman”. At first everyone feels ridiculous and there’s only the odd nervous giggle, but suddenly the laughter becomes real. It quickly spreads around the room until everyone is infected by it.

A _____________.

        Doctors are starting to believe that laughter not only improves your state of mind, but actually affects your entire physical well-being. The people lying in a circle are attending a workshop to learn the forgotten art of laughter. B ______.

        C _________. A French newspaper found that in 1930 the French laughed on average for nineteen minutes per day. By 1980 this had fallen to six minutes. Eighty per cent of the people questioned said that they would like to laugh more. Other research suggests that children laugh on average about 400 times a day, but by the time they reach adulthood this has been reduced to about fifteen times a day. D _________.
