Generation Gap
Generation gap refers to the differences that exist between people of a younger age and their elders. It occurs when people do not understand each other because of their different experiences, opinions, habits and manners. They live under the same roof but have different attitude to music,songs, fashion trends, hobbies and spoken language.
Young people want to enjoy independence and freedom.Their parents are overprotective and think that their children are too young to make decisions alone.This leads to conflicts and they argue.
Parents and children spend less time with one another. Parents do their best to earn money. Children’s time is taken up with after-school activities, homework, dating and surfing on the Internet.
As parents and children have fewer common interests, it makes it difficult for the family to reduce the alienation between each other. At the same time, parents are satisfied when they see their children succeed.
So, if you want to improve your relationship with your parents, try listening to them. Try to be interested in their health and work, keep your promises.
To conclude, people of all ages must become tolerant, open-minded, understanding and helpful. It’s a fact that communication plays the most important role in bridging gaps between parents and children.

Task 1
The spectacular and famous eruptions of Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone
National Park do not occur like clockwork. Before the earthquake of 1959, eruptions
came every 60 to 65 minutes; today they are as little as 30 minutes or as much as 90
minutes apart. Changes in weather and in atmospheric pressure can influence the
regularity of the eruptions and the height of the column. The geyser usually gives a
warning: a short burst of steam. Then a graceful jet of water and steam rises up to
150 feet in the air, unfurling in the sunlight with the colors of the rainbow playing
across it.
The eruption is only the visible part of the spectacle. In order for a geyser to
erupt, there are three necessary ingredients: a heat source, a water supply, and a
plumbing system. In the geyser fields of Yellowstone, a steady supply of heat is
provided by hot spots of molten rock as little as two miles below the surface. The
water supply of Old Faithful comes from groundwater and rainfall, but other geysers
in Yellowstone are located on river banks. Geysers have various types of plumbing
systems. Geologists studying Old Faithful theorized that it had a relatively simple
one consisting of an underground reservoir connected to the surface by a long,
narrow tube. In 1992 a probe equipped with a video camera and heat sensors was
lowered into the geyser and confirmed the existence of a deep, narrow shaft and of a
cavern, about the size of a large automobile, about 45 feet beneath the surface.
As water seeps into Old Faithful underground system, it is heated at the
bottom like water in a tea kettle. But while water in a kettle rises because of
convection, the narrow tube of the plumbing system prevents free circulation. Thus,
the water in the upper tube is far cooler than the water at the bottom. The weight of
the water puts pressure on the column, and this raises the boiling point of the water
near the bottom. Finally, the confined, superheated water rises, and the water in the
upper part of the column warms and expands, some of it welling out of the mouth of
the geyser. This abruptly decreases the pressure on the superheated water, and
sudden, violent boiling occurs throughout much of the length of the tube, producing
a tremendous amount of steam and forcing the water out of the vent in a superheated
mass. This is the eruption, and it continues until the water reservoir is emptied or the
steam runs out.
There are two main types of geysers. A fountain geyser shoots water out in
various directions through a pool. A columnar geyser such as Old Faithful shoots
water in a fairly narrow jet from a conical formation at the mouth of the geyser that
looks like a miniature volcano.

Sleep is very important. Did you know that sleep is more important than
food? A person who does not sleep dies at a younger age than a person who does
not eat. Let’s say you go to sleep 12 hours later than you usually do. It will take
your body about three weeks to return to normal. We spend about one-third of our
lives in sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of
sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of
sleep. A teenager needs 9 to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8
hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need
10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours
a night. We need less sleep as we get older.
Most people have some nights when they cannot sleep. About one in three
Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep or stay
asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia. The word insomnia means “no
sleep.” Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” They may sleep lightly and wake
up several times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake, so
they think they were awake all night.
This is not a new problem. According to the previous studies, many famous
people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make
them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman and inventor, had four beds.
He moved from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413
beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American
writer, had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!
Task 1. Decide if the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
1. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night.
2. Food is more important than sleep.
3. After age 50, the average sleep time is 6.5 hours a night.
4. One in four Americans has a problem with sleep.
5. We spend about a quarter of our lives in sleep.
6. Insomnia is the state when a person is full of energy.
7. The question of sleep has never been researched.
8. Benjamin Franklin could choose a bed.
9. French Kings and Queens didn’t have any problems with sleep.
10. Mark Twain was a famous inventor.
MOTHER TERESA
Mother Teresa was a simple nun. She never wanted to be famous, but
everyone in the world knew who she was. She received many important
awards. She travelled around the world to accept them. She asked people
for help. Then she gave everything to poor people.
Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha in 1910 in what is now Macedonia.
She was the youngest of three children. Agnes's father died when she was a
child. Her mother made dresses to support their family Agnes's mother also
liked to do charity work, such as visiting the sick. Agnes often went with
her and she enjoyed helping these people. She was a good and religious
girl. Even as a child, Agnes wanted to be a nun. When she was 18 years old
she joined a group of nuns in Darjeeling. India. There, she chose the name
Teresa. Then she went to Calcutta to work at St. Mary's School. The school
was in a convent. Sister Teresa lived in the convent and worked at the
school for 20 years. She eventually became the principal. During all those
years, Sister Teresa was always concerned about how other people lived.
The convent had clean buildings and beautiful lawns. But outside the
convent, the streets were dirty and crowded and full of very poor people.
One day in 1946, Sister Teresa was riding on a train to Darjeeling. She
looked out of the window and saw dirty children. They were wearing rags
and sleeping in doorways. Sick and dying people were lying on filthy
streets. She loved her work at the school, but she realized that other people
needed her help more. At that moment, she believed God sent her a
message. She decided to go to work with the poor. Two years later, Sister
Teresa left the convent. First, she went to a hospital to learn to take care of
sick people. After three months, she was ready to live with the poor and the
sick. One day, she saw a group of poor children and called them to her. She
told them she was going to open a school. The school had no roof, no
walls, and no chairs. On the first day, only five students came. She used a
stick to write lessons in the dirt.
Several months later, Sister Teresa had many students. Everyone in
Calcutta knew about her. A friend let her use part of his house for the
school. She taught the children language and math. She also taught them
how to keep clean and stay healthy. Soon, other nuns came to help her.
Sister Teresa was happy that they wanted to join her. But she told them that
life with her was not easy. She said that everyone had to wear the same
clothes — white cotton saris. She wanted all the nuns to look like the poor
people in India. In I948, Sister Teresa started her own group of nuns. They
were called the Missionaries of Charity. She was their leader, so they called
her "Mother" "Teresa. The nuns lived in the slums with people who were
poor, dirty and sick. It was hard work and the days were long. But many
other nuns came from around the world to join Mother Teresa. One day,
Mother Teresa saw an old woman in the street. She took her to a hospital.
They refused to help the woman because she was poor. Mother Teresa
decided to open a place for the sick and the dying. Later, she started homes
for children without families. She also started clinics. Over the years, news
of her work spread around the world. Many people sent her donations of
money. Others came to work with her in India or other places. By 1990, the
Missionaries of Charity were working in 400 centres around the world.
Over the years, Mother Teresa received many great awards, such as the
Nobel Peace Prize. But she always said her greatest reward was helping
people. Her message to the world was, '"We can do no great things - only
small things with great love". She died in 1997 at the age of 87. The whole
world mourned her death.

Hi, I am Nastia from Marhanets. It is in Dnipropetrovsk region. I am a pupil of the 11th form and I study English at school. I try to master the language as well as I can do it at school. “ Why?” you can ask. Well, I have my point of view as for this. I want to reach success in life and English will help me.
You see, modern life is impossible without communication. This communication is between people of one country and between people of different nations. So it is necessary to know at least one foreign language. Besides, I think, that to achieve real success in life is impossible without speaking a foreign language. If you are a scientist you need it to read literature and to take part in conferences. If you want to be a good expert in any field you need a foreign language to have business with foreign partners. Many people like to travel. For this a foreign language is necessary too. If you want to get education abroad you must know a foreign language as well.
If you are fond of reading you can read interesting books in the original. If you are fond of music you can understand the words of songs. If you are an athlete you can communicate using a foreign language during international competitions. If you want to find a job abroad you must know a foreign language as well. So in any field of life it is necessary to know a foreign language.
We live in Europe. Europe is integrating now and it is very important for everybody to know at least one foreign language. Ukraine is going to become a member of the European Council and the Common Market.
Our country takes part in many international political, economic, cultural and educational projects. But how to take part in them without knowing a foreign language? A private interpreter isn’t a suitable way out. People can think that you aren’t intelligent enough if you spend money on paying the private interpreter instead of paying for your own education at least when you are young enough to learn any language rather quickly.
English is one of the most popular foreign languages. It is the most spoken language in international communication. I am glad that I know English a little and I plan to learn it better in future.

READING COMPREHENSION
Text 1. Read the text and match the paragraphs 1-5 with headings A-G. There
are two headings that you do not need.
ROBOTS AT WORK
1_______
The newspaper production process has come a long way from the old days when the
paper was written, edited, typeset and ultimately printed in one building with the
journalists working on the upper floors and the printing presses going on the ground
floor. These days the editor, subeditors and journalists who put the paper together are
likely to find themselves in a totally different building or maybe even in a different
city. This is the situation which now prevails in Sydney. The daily paper is compiled
at the editorial headquarters, known as the prepress centre, in the heart of the city, but
printed far away in the suburbs at the printing centre. Here human beings are in the
minority as much of the work is done by automated machines controlled by
computers.
2________
Once the finished newspaper has been created for the next morning’s edition, all the
pages are transmitted electronically from the prepress centre to the printing centre.
The system of transmission is an update on the sophisticated page facsimile system
already in use on many other newspapers. An imagesetter at the printing centre
delivers the pages as film. Each page takes less than a minute to produce, although for
colour pages four versions, once each for black, cyan, magenta and yellow are sent.
The pages are then processed into photographic negatives and the film is used to
produce aluminium printing plates ready for the presses.
3________
A procession of automated vehicles is busy at the new printing centre where the
Sydney Morning Herald is printed each day. With lights flashing and warning horns
honking, the robots (to give them their correct name, the LGVs or laser guided
vehicles) look for all the world like enthusiastic machines from a science fiction
movie, as they follow their own random paths around the plant busily getting on with
their jobs. Automation of this kind is now standard in all modern newspaper plants.
The robots can detect unauthorized personnel and alert security staff immediately if
they find an “intruder”; not surprisingly, tall tales are already being told about the
machines starting to take on personalities of their own.
4________
The robots’ principal job, however, is to shift the newsprint (the printing paper) that
arrives at the plant in huge reels and emerges at the other end some time later as
newspapers. Once the size of the day’s paper and the publishing order are determined
at head office, the information is punched into the computer and the LGVs are
programmed to go about their work. The LGVs collect the appropriate size paper reels
and take them where they have to go. When the press needs another reel its computer
alerts the LGV system. The Sydney LGVs move busily around the press room
fulfilling their two key functions to collect reels of newsprint either from the reel
stripping stations, or from the racked supplies in the newsprint storage area. At the
stripping station the tough wrapping that helps to protect a reel of paper from rough
handling is removed. Any damaged paper is peeled off and the reel is then weighed.
5_________
The question newspaper workers must now ask, however is, “how long will it be
before the robots are writing the newspapers as well as running the printing centre,
churning out the latest edition every morning?”
A. Preparing LGVs for takeover
B. Looking ahead
C. The LGVs’ main functions
D. Split location for newspaper production
E. Newspapers superseded by technology
F. Getting the newspaper to the printing centre
G. Beware of robots!

THE FOOD FESTIVAL
Ben and Anna stood outside, the bright sign of the Italian restaurant glowing
before them. Ben’s eyes were fixed on the menu displayed in the window, specifically
on the lasagna that promised layers of creamy cheese and succulent meat sauce. ‘I
could really go for some lasagna right now,’ he murmured, the image of the savory
dish clouding his thoughts. Anna, on the other hand, was not so sure. ‘I was thinking
something lighter, maybe a nice risotto or even pizza,’ she suggested, picturing a dish
filled with bursting flavors of saffron and earthy mushrooms.
As they debated between the rich tapestry of Italian cuisine and the simplicity
and precision of Japanese dishes such as onigiri or a warm, comforting bowl of miso
soup, the aroma from neighboring restaurants filled the air, making their decision
even more challenging. ‘We could also consider Japanese,’ Anna said, her voice laced
with indecision. ‘I’ve been craving ramen ever since that chilly evening last week.’
Ben nodded, his thoughts now shifting to the steam rising from a hot bowl of ramen,
the perfect antidote to the cold weather they had been experiencing.
Amidst their back-and-forth, they noticed a colorful flyer on the ground, carried
by the wind. It announced a local food festival happening that very evening,
promising an array of dishes from all over the world. Their eyes lit up at the
opportunity to not just settle for one type of cuisine but to indulge in a plethora of
flavors. With a shared look of excitement, they decided that the food festival would be
the perfect spot to end their culinary indecisiveness. ‘We can have it all!’ exclaimed
Ben, his enthusiasm infectious.
The food festival was bustling with people, stalls lined up showcasing not just
Italian and Japanese foods, but also Thai, Mexican, Indian, and many others. Ben
made a beeline for the first Italian stall he saw, ordering a slice of pizza while Anna
opted for a small plate of risotto from another. They met again, sharing their dishes
before moving on to their next craving. The Japanese stall was not far off, and soon
they were enjoying onigiri and sipping on miso soup, their taste buds dancing with
joy.
As the night wore on and the crowd thinned, Ben and Anna sat on a nearby
bench, their appetites satisfied, their earlier debate now just a fun memory. They had
traveled the world on a culinary adventure without leaving their city, all thanks to the
unexpected discovery of the food festival. With happy hearts and full stomachs, they
promised to return next year, eager for whatever gastronomic delights would greet

SPAM MESSAGING
SPAM, as every user of mobile phones in China is aware to their intense
annoyance, is a roaring trade in China. Its delivery-men drive through residential
neighbourhoods in “text-messaging cars”, with illegal but easy-to-buy gadgetry they
use to hijack links between mobile phone users and nearby communications masts.
They then target the numbers they harvest, blasting them with spam text messages
before driving away. Mobile-phone users usually see only the wearisome results:
another sprinkling of spam messages offering deals on flats, investment advice and
dodgy receipts for tax purposes.
Chinese mobile-users get more spam text messages than their counterparts
anywhere else in the world. They received slightly more than 300 billion of them in
2013, or close to one a day for each person using a mobile phone. Users in bigger
markets like Beijing and Shanghai receive two a day, or more than 700 annually,
accounting for perhaps one-fifth to one-third of all texts. Americans, by comparison,
received an estimated 4.5 billion junk messages in 2011, or fewer than 20 per mobile-
user for the year –out of a total of more than two trillion text messages sent.
1. In China, SPAM text messaging is a successful business.
2. People’s phone numbers are collected through the use of technology which
cannot be readily bought.
3. In no other country do people receive more Spam texts than in China.
4. Chinese mobile users feel irritated by receiving spam text messages.
5. The majority of all texts received in Beijing and Shanghai are SPAM.
