5. При общении с иностранным другом у вас зашел разговор о национальных праздниках в России. Ваш друг уверен, что День народного единства возник недавно. Так ли это? Прочитайте указанные абзацы и расположите их в логической последовательности (1−5), чтобы получился связный текст.

A___ Leading the resistance were Kuzma Minin, a merchant from Nizhny Novgorod, and Dmitry Pozharsky, a respected and high-ranking prince. Together, they led the people of Moscow into a victorious battle, freeing the city from occupation. Minin and Pozharsky became national heroes. In 1613, Tsar Mikhail Romanov declared the day a national holiday to symbolize the strength of Russian unity. Russia continued celebrating the Day of Unity until 1917.

B___ In 2005, President Vladimir Putin reintroduced Russia’s Day of Unity and removed November 7 from the list of official Russian holidays. Since 2005, Day of Unity has celebrated Russian solidarity and patriotism, cutting across ethnicities.

C___ The origins of Russia’s Day of Unity go back to ‘Smuta,’ a historically turbulent period when political unrest was at its peak in Russia. Wars with Poland and Sweden weakened an already struggling economy. Sensing vulnerability, Poland took advantage of civil unrest and invaded Russia. They occupied Moscow for two years until 1612 when a historic uprising took place.

D___ But the dreams of a mighty Soviet Union were not meant to be. In 1991, the disintegration of the Soviet Union paved the way for modern Russia. Once again, new values would guide the nation. Gone but not entirely forgotten, the Day of Unity underwent several transformations during this period. It was called the Day of Accord and Conciliation and later became one of the Days of Military Honor.

41

E___ The rise of the Soviet Union put an end to the Russian monarchy and, consequently, Russia’s Day of Unity lost favor. It was the dawn of a new era and ideals. Occasions like the Day of Unity were relics of an oppressive past. There was no space for it in the Soviet Union. The day faded from collective memory, and the Bolshevik state established an official day to commemorate the November 7 revolution instead.

1___ The first thing most Western people notice in the East is the respect everyone has for old people. Elderly people live with their married children and are important members of the family. They look after the children, help with cooking, give advice and often rule family life. Living in an extended family has advantages for everyone: children are taken care of by their loving relatives, and grandparents feel that they are loved and needed.

4___ Pressures on the modern family may have a lot to do with learning difficulties teachers are seeing in classrooms. The strong family remains the best place to bring up children to become creative and engaged persons. Not only parental separation but fear of possible separation has a huge effect on children. This fear interferes with the children’s classroom activities and their social behavior.

5___ Modern parents are still ready to make sacrifices for their children. However, their busy lives are a major factor in a culture that is less and less child-friendly. Working parents need a lot of thought and creativity to find time for their children. Parents mainly think about providing economically for children, and are not attentive enough to their children’s vital emotional needs.

The Winslow Boy

1______Ronald Winslow was nearly fourteen. He was at a school, which trained young boys for the Navy. One afternoon he was accused of stealing a postal order from another student. (This is a kind of check which you can exchange for money at the post office.) The postal order wasn’t for a lot of money — just the student’s pocket money.

believed that their son was innocent. They wanted a public trial to prove Ronnie’s innocence, but the school did not agree. Mr. Winslow and Catherine, Ronnie’s sister hired a very expensive lawyer and spent months trying to bring Ronnie’s case to court. They lost a huge amount of money.

4______ Eventually the case went to court, and Ronnie had his trial. At first things didn’t go well — the judge seemed to be against Ronnie and the family expected a guilty verdict from the jury. But their lawyer proved that the handwriting specialist was wrong and that the woman who had identified Ronnie was unreliable.

5______ Then, at the last moment, something happened that was totally unexpected. The trial was stopped! Ronnie was innocent. His name was clear at last! It was a success for his family against an unfair decision — but the cost to them all was enormous.

8. Вы рассматривали когда-либо вариант приобретения автомобиля в лизинг? Изучите предложенную ситуацию и выберите из списка аргументы за это.

Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people who are thinking about leasing are attracted to this option because they believe it will cost them less money. And they’re right — it is cheaper, but only in the short term. A lease allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. But people who lease cars are often shocked and appalled by how much they must pay when the lease is over. Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles, and if you go over that allotment, you must pay for each mile. That’s why, if you want to lease a car, you should find out all the benefits of buying over leasing.

Arguments “for” leasing a car:

1. People believe leasing will cost them less money.

48

2.Most car leases allow for unlimited mileage.

3.Leasing allows people to drive more expensive cars than they might otherwise be able to afford.

4.Leasing a car is as expensive as buying.

5.Leasing a car is a bad idea.

6.The benefits of buying a car outweigh the benefits of leasing a car.

7.People are often shocked at how much money they end up paying when a car lease is over.
