Ex. 41. Read the following, answer the questions, and retell the passage in English.
Свет над россией
Глеб Максимилианович Кржижановский, член партии с 1893 г., отбывал ссылку в Сибири, в далеком Минусинском округе.
Сибирские села Шушенское и Тесинское, куда были сосланы Ленин и Кржижановский, находились неподалеку друг от друга, и это позволяло им часто видеться, обсуждать политические вопросы. Совместная работа Кржижановского с Лениным в петербургских революционных кружках, а затем годы, проведенные в ссылке, определили весь его дальнейший жизненный путь.
После поражения революции 1905 года, активным участником которой стал по возвращении из ссылки Кржижановский, царское правительство лишило его права проживать во всех промышленных центрах и университетских городах. В Петербурге он проживал нелегально.
Когда в стране победила пролетарская революция, Кржижановский, понимая, как важна ленинская идея электрификации России, принимает самое активное участие в разработке и осуществлении Государственного плана электрификации России.
Выдающийся английский романист Герберт Уэллс, посетивший Советскую страну в 1920 году, писал, что осуществление такого дерзновенного проекта в России «можно представить себе только с помощью сверхфантазии».
В 1924 году вступила в строй Кизеловская ГРЭС, в 1925 — Горь-ковская, Балахнинская, Шатурская... План ГОЭЛРО успешно претворялся в жизнь.
В 1921 году, по рекомендации Ленина, Кржижановский становится первым председателем Госплана, в чью задачу входило внедрение планирования в народное хозяйство страны.
Questions
1. Where was Krzhizhanovsky exiled? 2. How was it possible that while in exile, Lenin and Krzhizhanovsky should frequently meet to discuss political matters? 3.

What happened after the Revolution was defeated? 7. Why was Krzhizhanovsky denied the right to live in industrial centres and university towns? 8. How soon after the victory of the proletarian revolution did work start on the State Plan for the Electrification of Russia? 9. Why did Krzhizhanovsky believe it all-important to have the plan worked out and put into practice without delay? 10. What was the attitude of Herbert Wells, the famous English novelist, to Lenin's daring project? 11. Why did he believe that the project was impracticable? 12. Why did Wells speak of "superimagination" in connection with this project? 13. What facts were there to prove that the plan for the electrification of the country was being successfully put into practice? 14. When was the Kizelov hydro-electric power station commissioned? 15. What electric power stations were commissioned in 1925? 16. When was the State Planning Commission set up? 17. On whose recommendation was Krzhizhanovsky appointed chairman of the Commission? 18. Why was it important to introduce planning in the country's national economy?

ATOM УЧИТСЯ РАБОТАТЬ
«He входи!» Надпись весьма категорична. Но я смело вхожу в лабораторию. Стрелка индикатора, укрепленного на лацкане белого халата, абсолютно спокойна.
То, что найдет геолог, часто бывает загадкой, даже если он нашел то, что искал. Сколько руда содержит металла или минерала? Насколько велико месторождение? Ответ на эти вопросы будет получен в лаборатории. В большинстве случаев проводится химический анализ, который известен еще с древних времен. Хотя методы его менялись, но все-таки он занимает пока часы, а то и дни-
И вот передо мной первый электронный циклотрон с детектирующим устройством.
Главной целью лаборатории, созданной десять лет назад, был и остается поиск методов анализа руд одновременно на многие элементы. Наиболее быстро и точно это можно сделать с помощью радиоактивного облучения. Новый циклотрон определяет одновременно и с большой точностью количественное содержание в руде нескольких элементов.
Так, шаг за шагом, усилиями ученых мирный атом все глубже входит в нашу жизнь.
