The purpose of this research was to find out how many hours of TV students aged 14-18 watch in a typical week. It also aimed to find out what kind of programmes they watch. In addition, it looked at the kind of programmes watched by male and female students to find out if there was any difference in their preferences. We found that 60% of interviewees have a TV in their bedroom and most watch it alone. On school days, 40% of boys and 50% of girls watch TV for two hours or more, mostly between 6.00 and 9.00 p.m. Only 20% of boys and 15% of girls watch less than one hour. However, at weekends, 60% of boys and 70% of girls watch more than two hours a day, in the mornings and in the evenings. Boys prefer to watch sport, cartoons and music programmes, whereas girls prefer to watch soaps, dramas and music. Only 18% of boys and 16% of girls say they watch news regularly. However, more girls than boys watch documentaries. Закончите предложение: Only 18% of boys and 16% of girls say they watch news …

Чтение текстов с извлечением нужной или интересующей информации (поисковое чтение) (Гуманитарно-социальный профиль) Прочитайте текст и ответьте на вопрос: How many children did she want to have? Unlike most of my friends I grew up in a big, noisy, happy family so naturally, when I got married, I wanted to have lots of children. The trouble was that my husband and I were not wealthy. In fact we were quite poor so it came as an awful shock when I had triplets. Everyone in the family was very supportive of course and the babies were absolutely adorable, but it was not easy. Small children are extremely active and three little girls running around the house made me feel nervous because I was afraid they might hurt themselves. There were funny moments of course and we were both extremely thankful that our children were happy, healthy, and such good friends for one another. In the end, the money was not important!

How many actors who come to Hollywood are really successful? Many people who think they have professional future in films go to Hollywood only to find disappointment instead of success. They often have to give up the more enjoyable aspects of their chosen career to play parts in advertisements because these provide financial security – but they are not satisfying. For many actors, even basic survival can be difficult. Some do not earn enough to pay their rent or electricity bills, and the time and money they invest in the preparation of a portfolio for interviews is often wasted. Of course there is a possible explanation why only 1% of actors are really successful. There are just too many people who believe that their next performance will be the one that makes them a star!

Чтение текстов с извлечением нужной или интересующей информации (поисковое чтение) (Гуманитарно-социальный профиль) Прочитайте текст и ответьте на вопрос: When was Stephen King involved in a terrible accident? Stephen King is a very famous author today but it was not always that way. He had to work hard to become successful, like most writers. Until he began to make money from his writing, he worked in a laundry and then later as a teacher. Although his stories are full of strange characters and terrifying events, at the same time they seem to be very realistic to most readers. A few years ago, King himself was involved in a terrible accident. He was walking along a country road when he saw a car coming towards him. It was moving dangerously from one side of the road to the other almost as it was no one driving it. In fact, there was a driver but he was drunk. Although King tried as hard as he could to get out of the way, the car hit him. The driver was not hurt but behaved as if he didn’t care at all. King said later that he felt just like a victim in one of his novels. The man even looked like someone King had once written about. It took Stephen King more than a year to recover from the accident and even things he had always loved doing, like writing, were almost impossible for him.

The greenhouse effect is very important; if it didn’t occur at all, the temperature of the planet would be 40 degrees lower and the oceans would freeze. But an increase in the greenhouse effect may lead to global warming with disastrous consequences. The higher average temperature produced by global warming could cause dramatic changes in the weather. Less rain might fall over large land masses. Central Africa, south Asia and some parts of the United States could risk severe drought and famine. More rain might fall in coastal areas and over the oceans; there might be more storms and hurricanes in the Pacific. A rise in the earth’s average temperature of only one or two degrees would probably melt the polar ace caps and raise sea levels. Sea levels throughout the world are already rising by about two millimeters a year. If the polar ice caps melt, sea levels could rise by more than a meter over a few decades.

Now there are 20 towers in the Moscow Kremlin; the Italian architects – Antonio Fryasin and Pietro Solari – were made responsible for the main work. At the end of the 15th century, the length of the Kremlin wall was more than 2 km. The oldest Kremlin Tower Tainitskaya (Secret) was built in 1485. It faces the Moscow River and its name is connected with a secret underground passage to the river so that the citizens were not left without water in case of a siege.

Many girls dream of a career as an ice skater. The costumes and graceful movements make it seem a very romantic thing to do. What’s more, young skaters like Carolina Kostner attract huge numbers of fans when they compete. Nevertheless, ice skating, like most sports, is very demanding and Carolina has to work hard. She spends hours practicing complicated routines and also follows a fitness programme in the gym. Carolina is naturally slim and she doesn’t put on weight but she still has to watch her diet and make sure she eats the right food to get her through her busy schedule. She also needs plenty of sleep. Even after all the celebrations when she wins a competition, Carolina is usually in bed by 9 p.m. She travels with her family so she doesn’t usually feel lonely though she says she sometimes misses being at home with her own things. For Carolina, skating is lots of fun and she enjoys competing against other young skating stars very much.

It is compulsory for children to have an education, but you may find it surprising that the teaching doesn’t always have to take place in the school building. As long as they have the necessary paper qualifications, parents themselves can teach their children at home. They may make the decision to do this because they are unhappy with a particular school, or because they feel that they have more knowledge of their own child’s needs than teachers at school. However, there may be critics of parents who make this choice because some people feel that children who are taught at home find it difficult to mix socially with young people of their own age. However, supporters of the idea disagree with this. They think it is a better way of teaching children what is really important.

 It is compulsory for children to have an education.

Research has shown that when they were children, many successful sportspeople were more adventurous than their friends. Why is it so? It seems that some children have very little understanding of the potential risks of doing activities like climbing trees or jumping from heights. They have such faith in their own ability that even when they do make some kind of miscalculation which results in a fall or injury, they do not change their behaviour. Such children continue to ignore or disobey adults who tell them not to do dangerous things and their parents’ disapproval does not seem to make any difference to them. While some insecure children may panic when faced with the possibility of danger, others seem to ignore it and appear to be fearless. These may be the ones who go on to be the sportspeople of tomorrow!

The idea of the Olympic Games absolutely captivated the modern 19^th century nationalities. A Frenchman called Baron de Coubertin may be the famous person behind the actual revival of the modern Olympic Games as we know them today. At the end of the nineteenth century he had an idea to bring the Olympic Games back to life. Following his suggestion, fifteen nations met at an international congress in 1894. Two years later, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens. Since then they have been staged every fourth year, except during World War I and World War II. Perhaps the main difference between the ancient and modern Olympics is that for the ancient Greeks the Games were a way of saluting their gods, when the modern Games are a manner of saluting the athletic talents of people of all nations.

The different styles of training reflect the different worlds that the solicitors and the barrister live in, and also the different skills that they develop. Solicitors have to deal with the realities of the everyday world and its problems. Most of their work is done away from the courts. They often become experts in the details of particular areas of the law. Barristers, on the other hand, live a more rarefied existence. For one thing, they tend to come from the upper strata of society. Furthermore, their protection from everyday realities is increased by certain legal rules. For example, they are not supposed to talk to any of their clients, or to their client’s witnesses, except in the presence of the solicitor who has hired them. They are experts on general principles of the law rather than on details, and they acquire the special skill of eloquence in public speaking. When they present a case in court, they, like judges, put on the archaic gown and wig which, it is supposed, emphasize the impersonal majesty of the law.

There are 51 basic legal systems in the United States: the federal system and a separate system in each of the 50 states. Although these systems are mainly similar, they also have important differences. For example, laws governing marriage and divorce are not the same in all states. The differences among legal systems exist because each of the original 13 states was previously sovereign (independent)

One of the views of law is that it is a method of social control – an instrument of social, political, and economic change. ¹_______. It is difficult to determine whether the law brings about changes in our society or whether changes of society bring about a change in the law. ²_______. The law-responding to the goals, desires, needs, and aspirations of society is in a constant state of change. ³_______. In this event the law and our legal system provide leadership in bringing about changes. At other times our society is ahead of the law in moving in new directions, and changes are brought about by the people who act according to their new attitude and convictions. When these changes are accepted by the rest of society, it often happens that the law then gives approval and recognition of the changes, and the law has thus been brought into line with the changing needs of society. ⁴_______. As a result of this laws have been enacted that require that devices be installed to control pollution. Here the public pressure resulted in the enactment of laws and the law was a follower rather than a leader. It is important to note that the law is not static – that it is constantly changing and that the impetus for the changes may come from many different sources.

1 Really law is both an instrument of change and a result of changes that take place in our society.

3 Sometimes the law changes more rapidly that does the attitude of the majority of society.

4 For example, in the field of ecology various groups have put pressure on legislators to clean up the air and water.

2 In our legal system both are true.

In the English legal system a practising lawyer must hold one of two professional qualifications; s/he must either have been admitted to practice as a solicitor or have been called to the Bar as a barrister. This division of the legal profession is of long standing and each branch has its own characteristic functions as well as a separate governing body and professional rules. The barrister is usually thought of primarily as an advocate, since this is the work in which s/he is most often engaged. Until 1990, s/he had the virtually exclusive right of audience as an advocate before all the superior courts, and s/he can also appear in the inferior courts. When acting professionally, barristers are known as “counsel”. In total there were, in 1991, 6,901 barristers in practice, a number which is just about small enough to make this branch of the profession a closely-knit unit.
