17. Прочитайте тексты и установите соответствие между текстами и их заголовками: к каждому тексту, обозначенному буквами А––F,

подберите
соответствующий заголовок, обозначенный цифрами 1––7. Используйте каждую
цифру только один раз. В задании есть один лишний заголовок.
1. What is the capital of the Falkland Islands?
2. Where can you learn about the islands’
history?
3. What is the emblem of the Falkland Islands?
4. What do the local people do for a living?
5. What energy resources are used on the
islands?
6. What is the educational policy of the
Falkland Islands?
7. What was the result of the conflict between
Argentina and the UK?
A. About 250 miles off the coast of South America lie
the Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory. About 3,000
people live on the islands. Like most isolated communities around
the world, they are always pleased to welcome tourists. The
people of the Falkland Islands mostly work in sheep farming and
fishing.
B. Everything outside Stanley, known locally as Camp, is home
to numerous farms and settlements spread across the islands. In
fact, over three quarters of the population live in Stanley.
Although one of the smallest capitals in the world, Stanley
provides a variety of supermarkets, excellent restaurants and
hotels, a swimming pool, gym and golf course.
C. Open whenever tour ships are in the port, the Falkland Islands
Museum contains artifacts from everyday life, natural history
samples and a fine collection relating to the islands’ shipwrecks.
Outdoor exhibition sites include the Reclus Hut, originally made in
Stanley, then shipped to Antarctica and set up there in 1956.
Forty years later the famous house was brought back.

7. What was the result of the conflict between

D. There are only about 380 children of school age living on the
islands. For them, there is a primary and a secondary school in
Stanley and three small settlement schools on large farms. Other
rural pupils are taught by ‘travelling’ teachers. Schooling is free
and compulsory for children between five and sixteen years of
age. The government pays for older students to attend colleges,
usually in the UK.
E. The Falkland Islands government is taking advantage of cheap
wind power. Since 1996, the government has been investing in
the development of alternative sources of energy and can already
enjoy the results. The Islands have experimented with other
forms of energy, including hydro-electric and solar power.
However, these forms cannot match the effectiveness of wind
power yet.
F. The Falklands War was fought in 1982 between Argentina and
the United Kingdom. It started with the Argentine invasion and
occupation of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. The war
lasted 74 days and ended with an Argentine defeat. However,
Argentina still has not fully given up its claim to the territory of the
islands.

The Great Plague* of London
The Black Death arrived in Europe by sea in October 1347 when
12 trading ships came to an Italian port after a long voyage
across the Black Sea. A crowd of people gathered on the docks
to greet the ships. Soon the smiles changed into a horrifying
surprise. Most of the sailors aboard the ships were dead, and
those who were still alive were fatally ill. They had a high
temperature, couldn’t eat and suffered from pain. The sailors
were covered in black swellings which gave their illness its name:
the Black Death. The Italian authorities made the ‘death ships’
and their sailors leave the port, but it was too late. Over the next
five years, the mysterious Black Death (or the plague) would kill
almost one-third of the European population.
The Black Death first appeared in Britain in 1348. Since that time
the British islands were never totally free of plague.
In the year 1665 the Black Death came to the city of
London, even though King Charles II had tried to prevent the
epidemic of plague and had forbidden any trade with Holland,
where there was a great plague epidemic. Despite the safety
measures, in the early spring of 1665 thousands of people died in
the poor parts of London. At first the government didn’t pay much
attention to this fact. But as the spring turned into a hot summer,
the number of deaths rose and panic set in.

7. August was the peak of the plague epidemic.
8. There is no documentary evidence about the
exact number of people who were killed by the
plague.
The rich aristocracy and royal family left the capital for their houses in the
country. They were followed by the merchants, and the lawyers. By June
the roads were full with people who wanted to escape London. The Lord
Mayor ordered to close the city gates to anyone who did not have a
certificate of health. By mid July over 1,000 deaths per week were reported
in the city. It was said that dogs and cats spread the disease. By the Lord
Mayor’s order, more than 40,000 dogs and 200,000 cats were killed in
London. The real effect of this was that the population of the rats, who were
the plague carriers, increased. The Black Death began to spread more
rapidly.
Anyone who was in constant contact with plague victims, such as doctors,
nurses and inspectors, had to carry coloured sticks outdoors so that they
could be easily seen and avoided. When one person in a house caught the
plague, the house was closed until 40 days after the victim had either
recovered or died (usually the latter). The members of the family were not
allowed to leave the house either. Special guards were put at the door to
see that no one got out.
Throughout the summer the death rate grew till it reached 6,000 people per
week in August. From there the disease very slowly went down until the
winter. However, King Charles II decided that it was safe to return to the
capital only in February of 1666. How many died? It is hard to say. It was
said that 100,000 people had died in and around London, though the figure
may have been much higher. The Black Death was the worst and the last
of the epidemics in Great Britain.

J.K. Rowling
J.K. Rowling is one of the most popular writers today. She was born into the
family of an engineer in 1965. Her childhood was happy, although she does
remember getting teased in primary school because of her surname
‘Rowling’. She was often called ‘Rolling pin’ by her schoolmates. The writer
says that she never really liked her own surname, she liked the surname of
her friends Ian and Vikki Potter who lived nearby. Later she would give their
surname to the hero of her popular books.
From an early age, Joanna Rowling had an ambition to become a writer.
She often tried her hand at writing fantasy stories. Aged six, she wrote a
book about a rabbit who got measles. After, she understood that her
parents enjoyed her story, Joanna suggested with confidence ‘well, get it
published then.’
After finishing school, her parents encouraged Joanna to study French. She
slightly regretted choosing French, saying she would have preferred to
focus on English and English literature. However, it was her parents’ wish
that she should study something ‘more useful’ than just English. After
graduating from university Joanna Rowling took various jobs in London.
It was in 1990, that she first got the idea for Harry Potter, a boy attending a
school for wizards. As she recalls, it was on a long train journey from
Manchester to London, when she began forming in her mind the characters
for the book. On arriving at her flat, she started writing the book
immediately, although, it would take her several years to finish it. In the
meantime, she went to teach in Portugal, married a Portuguese journalist,
had a daughter, Jessica, divorced her husband, and returned to Britain, to
Edinburgh.

7. It was the publisher’s idea to put initials, not her
first name, on the cover of Joanna’s book.
8. Joanna chose the leading actors for the Harry
Potter films.
Eventually, she finished her first copy of The Philosopher’s Stone,
but her agent spent over a year trying hard to get a publisher. It
was rejected by 12 major publishing houses. But, finally, quite a
small publisher, Bloomsbury, agreed to take the book on. The
decision to take on the book was, in large part, due to the
publisher’s daughters who read and liked the first chapter of the
book.
When the first ‘Harry Potter’ novel was published, the publisher
asked Joanna to use initials rather than her first name. The
publisher was afraid that boys would be against a book written by
a woman. Since Joanna had only one given name, she took ‘K.’
from her favorite grandmother, Kathleen.
Within a few weeks of publication, book sales started to take off.
A number of other novels about Harry Potter followed. In 1998,
Warner Bros secured the film rights for the books. The films have
increased the success of the books, making Harry Potter into one
of the most recognisable media products. Under the close
guidance of J.K.Rowling, all the films were shot close to the
original plot; also at J.K.Rowling’s request the filming took place
in Britain.
The final book of the Harry Potter Series – Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows was released in 2007. J.K.Rowling said that the
book was her favorite and she would continue writing, but there
was little chance of continuing the Harry Potter Series.
