I. According to one old song, love and marriage go together like horse and carriage. These days, however, a long-lasting marriage may be almost as hard to find as a horse and carriage on our busy streets. Statistically, it is now more likely that a marriage will end in divorce than continue in a loving relationship. It makes you wonder if marriage is worth the effort at all.

II. Is it simply the case that marriage has become a game with less than 50% chance of success? Not really, say the researchers at the Newport Institute, who have discovered that there are clear clues to what makes a successful marriage. They have been conducting a study of married couples for the past ten years. They started with 50 pairs of newly-weds and interviewed them every six months. During that time, 24 couples stayed married. The researchers don't think it was simply a matter of luck.

III. One clear sign of a happy relationship is the frequent use of 'we' by a couple. Another clue is how past experiences are described. The happily married couples focus on their experiences together, even when describing difficulties. Researchers have also noticed that individuals in successful marriages talk about their partners in more positive ways. They focus on achievements. They often mention something new they enjoy doing now because of their partner. They also seem to be willing to change in ways that allow the couple to do things together. On the contrary, in marriages that aren't working,

there is more focus on self.

W. When the researchers asked couples what advice they would give to younger people thinking about getting married, they got some very important answers. Among those who remained married, the answers were more similar and often mentioned the ideas of friendship, support and 'being on the same team'.

V. On the basis of the results, the researchers have concluded that a modern marriage may begin with passionate love, but its survival depends a lot on 'companionate love', a feeling that includes affection, caring and friendship.

A41. Which of the following would make a suitable title for the article?

1. Marriage Grows Out Of Fashion.

2. Marriage Works, Researchers Say.

3. Question: Why Marry Today?

A42. According to the statistics, today's marriages are quite

1. stable.

2. useless.

3. unstable.

A43. The results of the Newport Institute study may

1. encourage young people to focus more on self.

2. give an idea of what is required for a relationship to be happy.

3. be treated as short-term and hardly convincing.

A44. The study proves once again that

1. husbands and wives are forever in conflict with one another.

2. there can be no solution to marriage problems.

3. ‘team spirit’ is as necessary as anything else in married life.

A45. The results may also serve as evidence of the fact that

1. passionate love is not enough for marriage.

2. being in love is the only solid foundation for family.

3. the ability to achieve is of great importance.

Прочитайте текст и выберите вариант ответа, соответствующий содержанию прочитанного текста. Укажите выбранный вариант.

1. Traditionally Canadian population grew through immigration which was encouraged in order to expand the work force and domestic markets. The peak year of immigration in the 20th century was 1913, with more than 400,000 arrivals. Immigration was discouraged during the Great Depression of the 1930s, but after World War II tens of thousands of displaced persons from Europe were admitted, and in the 1970s large numbers of refugees from Europe, Asia, and Latin America were welcomed to Canada. Canada's immigration policy is nondiscriminatory regarding ethnicity; however, individuals with special talents or with capital to invest are given preference.

2. Nevertheless, natural increase is basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War. The country showed impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there was over five in 1966. In September 1966 Canada's population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages, but the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued the decade of the 1950s producing an increase of nearly fifteen per cent.

3. This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before in Canada's history, in the decade before 1911, when the prairies were being settled. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the 1950s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world.

4. After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until in 1966 it stood at its lowest level in 25 years. It was partly caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families. It appeared that Canada was falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution.

5. Although the growth in Canada's population had slowed down by 1966, another large population wave was coming over the horizon. It would be composed of the children of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957.

A41. Which will be the most appropriate title for the article?

1. Increasing Population in Canada

1. increased.

2. natural growth.

3. increased longevity.

A45. One can make a conclusion that

1. improved living conditions will stop population growth.

2. there will be no population growth in the near future.

1. My name's Jordan Baker. I'm just a normal kid, like everybody else. I have an 18-year-old sister and a close relationship with all of my family. But, unlike other kids, I never go to bed on Sunday night and dread having to go to school the next day. I actually look forward to it! That's because I'm a homeschooler. I'm sure most kids imagine I can get up whenever I want, watch TV and pretty much goof off all day. But it's not like that at all.

2. Basically, I wake up every weekday at about 8 a.m., shower and get dressed. After breakfast, I do algebra in the kitchen with my mom, then we move on to other subjects. My mom is my main teacher (even though she's not certified), but my dad helps out, too. After lunch, if I have a big load of schoolwork, I study for another hour or two and then have piano lessons. After that, I either play tennis or eat dinner and maybe watch TV or read. I also work out at a gym two or three days a week to be sure I get enough exercise.

3. My favorite subjects are history and literature, and my least favorite is algebra because it doesn't come easy to me. I study the same stuff most kids learn in public school but at my own pace. And, yes, I do have to take tests and exams like everybody else. As a matter of fact, I take standardized tests every year just to see how I'm doing. Right now, I'm about a year ahead. That means I'm going to graduate when I'm 16-1 don't think I could have done that if I'd gone to public school. Graduating early brings me closer to my ultimate goal, which is to become either a pediatrician or a teacher in Africa.

4. I would say the greatest thing about homeschooling is that I can study things that apply to what is going on in my life. Plus, since my schedule is flexible, we get to travel and take day trips when we feel like it rather than waiting for summer vacation or field trips.

5. Even with all the pluses, there are a few downsides. Making new friends can be tricky - of course, it's not so easy to socialize when there are no other kids around. Luckily, I have friends from church and extracurricular activities (most of them go to public school). We stay in touch through e-mail. One day, I'd like to homeschool my own kids - even with all the work involved-because I know it's definitely worth it.

A41. The narrator is mainly focused on

1. typical difficulties in homeschool life.

2. her experiences as a homeschooler.

1. her mother teaches her best.

2. her parents are rarely involved in her studies.

A44. In Jordan's view, the best thing about homeschooling is that

1. the curriculum is largely reduced.

1. Young English teacher saved the lives of thirty students when he took control of a bus after its driver suffered a fatal heart attack. Guy Harold, 24, had collected the students and three course leaders from Gatwick airport and they were traveling to Bournemouth to meet their host families. They were going to start a course at the International Language Academy in Bournemouth where Harold works as a teacher.

2. Harold, who has not passed his driving test, said, "I realized that the bus was out of control when I was speaking to the students on the microphone." The bus collided with trees at the side of the road and he noticed the driver was slumped over the wheel. The driver didn't move. He was unconscious.

3. "We hit a barrier and swerved to the other side of the road and I grabbed the wheel," Harold explained. "The driver's legs were over the pedals and I had difficulty reaching the brakes. We hit a lamp post and it shattered the glass on the front door before I managed to bring the bus to a halt." Police praised the young teacher's quick thinking. If he hadn't reacted quickly, there could have been a terrible accident.

4. The bus driver never regained consciousness. He was later pronounced dead at East Surrey hospital. He had worked regularly with the school and was very well regarded by the staff. Harold said, "I was so relieved that no one else was hurt, but I hoped the driver would survive. It was only later I heard he had died. That's a terrible tragedy."

1. "Buffaloooo!" Donnie shouted to start the game. This call was a familiar sound on the playground in my elementary school days. This was to be our last day of school for the year, but more significantly, the last day of school at Readfield Elementary.

2. A group of about seventeen of us were out by the jungle gym to prepare for the upcoming game of "buffalo". The rules of the game were that one person was the "Buffalo hunter", while the rest lined up in a line on one side of the field and tried to get to the other side without getting caught. The "Buffalo hunter" had to tackle or trip people as they ran across, and if he caught someone, they had to help him catch the rest of the kids. The teachers did not approve of this game because it was so rough and sometimes violent so we had to play on days with unaware teachers on recess duty.

3. "Who's on duty today?" I asked the group. "I think it's a sub," replied Mike with a smile. "Great!" I said. "We can play today." - "O.K. guys," someone shouted. "I'm it." We all lined up and waited for the command. "Buffaloooo!" shouted Donnie. A mass scramble was seen as we all tried to get to the other side like there was no tomorrow. When I got to the end I turned around just in time to see Mr. Bean turn the corner. I looked at Mike who also made it across.

4. "Look who's coming," I said shakily. "He's going to kill us!" Mike replied terrified. Mr. Bean was not a person who you would want to meet in a dark alley. He was very strict and the fact that he was built like the Hulk didn't convey comforting thoughts. His huge build was the only thing I saw as he walked over slowly to our now-trembling group.

5. 'What are you doing?" his voice sounded. "Playing buffalo," a weak and honest voice said. Mr. Bean looked us over carefully for a while as we waited for our fate. "How do you play?" he asked curiously. The same weak voice explained the rules to him quickly and nervously. "Okay then," Mr. Bean explained after hearing the rules, "line up and I'll start off as the Buffalo hunter". A sigh of relief and sense of uncertainty filled the air as the game started. As it turned out it was the best buffalo game we ever played.

A41. The story gives us the description of

1. a buffalo hunting adventure.

2. a game young children play.

3. a school where games are not allowed.

A42. The narrator of the story recollects the time when he was

1. a senior grade student.

2. a middle school student.

3. an elementary school student.

A43. For the kids, the attraction of the game lies in the fact that

1. teachers and students played together.

2. it was highly competitive indeed.

3. it involved risk and even some violence.

A44. When the narrator describes the teacher, he probably

1. laughs at Mr. Bean.

2. pays Mr. Bean a compliment.

3. stresses the impression Mr. Bean produced.

A45. Most likely, the teacher makes up his mind to play with the kids because

1. he is just a fine teacher.

2. he is new to the school.

3. he wants play not work.

1. According to one National Union of Students survey, four out often students attending universities in the UK had a job during term-time. With more tuition fees and other additional costs, it seems reasonable to assume that this figure is increasing. The students we talked to confirmed that this is the case.

2. For many of the students we interviewed, the idea of a part-time job on top of their full-time studies is no longer an option, but a necessity. At the same time, some of them said that their universities offer little help regarding employment or simply advise students against having a job. They expect students to be working on their degrees and nothing else.

3. Most students are employed in part-time or temporary jobs and, as a result of this, don't have job security and don't qualify for sick leave or holiday pay. Most students are hired in place of regular workers, but are generally paid less than them. Some students don't actually work for pay, but do jobs in exchange for lower rent and/or meals.

4. With the exception of those able to find jobs inside their universities, the majority of students have jobs at night or during the weekend. One student reported that, apart from working, her weekends were spent sleeping because she was generally too tired to do anything else. Another student said that she works 22 hours a week in addition to her 20 weekly hours of lectures: "I wouldn't say it has had any effect academically, but it means I can't go out much."

5. According to the NUS employment study, more than 10 per cent of students had missed lectures or failed to submit work because of job commitments. For those with term-time jobs, 30 per cent had missed lectures, while 20 per cent had not handed in assignments. It seems almost inevitable that, due to financial pressures, the university experience will change. Increased costs in education together with pressures to succeed in a competitive world are defining the circumstances in which today's students struggle to complete their degrees. Student life really does involve a lot more work these days.

A41. The article mainly discusses the problem of

1. student part-time employment.

2. student long-term projects.

3. student term-time assignments.

A42. The author implies that students seek part-time jobs due to the fact that

1. educational costs are growing.

2. college workload is decreasing.

3. students are less motivated to study.

A43. According to the article, university tutors find part-time jobs

1. a welcome idea.

2. a realistic choice.

3. a bad idea.

A44. For university students, part-time jobs seem to have

1. many undersides.

2. many advantages.

3. lots of benefits.

A45. In the near future, many students will face the necessity

1. to leave university.

2. to work even harder.

3. to leave jobs, if any.
