T h e Dodo
In 1598, Portuguese sailors landed on the
shores of the island of Mauritius. They discov­
ered an unknown species of bird, the Dodo. This
bird had never seen humans before and was
happy to greet the new visitors. The sailors didn’t
understand the bird’s happiness and thought it
was silly. They gave it the name “dodo” (meaning
something like a simpleton (дурачок) in the Por­
tuguese).
The dodo bird, historically, was a rather fat
bird. It was 20-23 kilograms. It was grey in co­
lour. The Dodo had a large, but weak beak and
a white tail. The Dodo couldn’t fly because it had
small, weak wings. This big bird couldn’t fight.
The Dodo bird built its nest on the ground.
D ogs, m onkeys and pigs, w h ich w ere soon
brought to the Mauritius, became a tragedy to its
eco-system. The D odo’s eggs were eaten by dogs
and pigs. Its young were hunted by monkeys and
eaten too.
( (,
Many Dodos were killed by the human visi­
tors for food, too, because of its tasty meat.
The Dodo existed for centuries or more in the
Mauritian island, but the humans hunted it and
new creatures placed on the island damaged her
habitat. Soon it was lost to the world.
The Portuguese sailors on Mauritius not only
destroyed the famous Dodo, but influenced na­
ture in other ways too.
The Mauritian “calvaria” tree soon after the
Dodo bird became extinct faced extinction itself.
Why? The calvaria’s seeds could grow only after
the D odo bird had eaten and digested
(переварить) them.
The Dodo was a unique species of bird. Scien­
tists all around the world continue to study the
Dodo as the example of the influence of human
activities on the environment. They hope that the
lesson of the Dodo can help stop other extinctions
of species on the earth.
Three centuries later, it is still remembered as
a symbol of the harm humans can bring to the
nature.

T o p ic : "M an and Natural w o rld . Pollution"
Noise Pollution
W e speak much about pollution in different
forms: water pollution, air pollution, and nuclear
pollution. Have you heard about noise pollution?
Of course, we can hear sounds. Sound is a part
of everyday life. It is pleasant when we listen to
music or a bird-songs. Sound is a way of commu­
nication. But noise is an unwanted sound; this
word came from the Latin word “nausea,” mean­
ing seasickness (морская болезнь).
In modern life sound often annoys (раздра­
жать) us. Many sounds are unpleasant but ne­
cessary. Transport is necessary, and because of
this there are very few places where transport
noise cannot be heard. We depend on transport
because it takes people and goods to schools,
shops, offices, factories and many other places.
What makes up transport noise?
It comes from cars, buses, lorries, and motor­
bikes. Each of these makes noise in a different way.
Noise from trains is really a problem for peo­
ple who live near railway stations and railroads.
Another problem is aircraft (planes) noise to
those people who live near busy airports.
Of all sorts of noise, neighborhood noise is the
greatest cause of noise.
The neighborhood noise can be loud music,
dogs, domestic activities,voices, DIY (do it your­
self), car repairs.
The problem with noise is not only that it is
unwanted, but also that it badly influences hu­
man health.The human ear is a delicate and fra­
gile anatomical structure. People can lose hear­
ing; noise can cause stress, high blood pressure,
sleep loss and many other problems.
Sleep loss is probably the most widespread
problem caused by noise in old people.
 Elementary school hildren can face the prob­
lem o f bad reading and writing skills if they live
Ш the noisy environment.
But sometimes people can cause the problem
to themselves by listening to a Walkman (плеер)
for example. A recent study showed that much
ot the ambulatory music is played at high levels
close to the sound level of jackhammers, which
IS about 100 and 125 dB. They don’t know that
a serious damage to the hearing can take place
even below 90 dB!
Disco music and rock concerts in fact develop
hearing losses in young people.
Rem em ber: every person has a right for a
quiet life!

 Ecology is a link between living things and
their habitats. If you want to become an ecologist
you should have a strong knowledge in life sci­
ences: botany, zoology, biology, etc. Computers
also are very important. A large part of ecology
is communicating.
All living things depend on each other. Ani­
mals need oxygen. They breathe in oxygen. They
breathe out carbon dioxide as a waste product.
Plants need carbon dioxide to perform photosyn­
thesis. Photosynthesis is the way plants make
their food. Plants use sunlight for energy and
make carbohydrates out of carbon dioxide and
water. Oxygen, which animals need to live, is a
waste product of photosynthesis, along with little
drops of water. So, animals depend on plants for
oxygen, and plants depend on animals for carbon
dioxide. Animals and plants both have to have
water. This exchange is a natural cycle.
When natural cycles are changed, the plants
and animals have to change, too.
Sometimes a change in a natural cycle is so big
that the animals and plants don’t have time to
change. Or, they cannot make the changes they
need to make. That is what happens when our
environment becomes polluted. The plants and
animals are unable to make changes or die before
they can change.
There are five greatest environmental prob­
lems which can cause changes that make it hard
for animals and plants to adapt: air pollution, acid
rains, water pollution, waste and the loss of trees.
Scientists agree that the year 2012 is a very
important year for the environment. We have to
begin cleaning up the Earth now. If we don’t, by
the year 2012 it may be too late. Our Earth may
never be clean and healthy again.

tons. The tops of these stones were joined by a
ring of horizontal stones. The stones in the circle 1.
are carefully shaped.
The outer circles consisted originally of about
60 stones. Inside these two circles lies the horse­
shoe, which consisted originally of five stones.
Stonehenge was first mentioned in 1135. It was
told that the giants brought it from Africa to
Ireland, and from there it was taken by the wiz­
ard Merlin across the sea.
Another legend says that the stones were 2.
stolen from an Irish woman by the Devil and re­
put on the Salisbury Plain by Merlin for the King
of Britons.
In the 12th century people thought that it was
a monument over King Arthur’s grave. There are
other legends, too. Some people thought it was an 3.
observatory to study the sun, the moon, and the
stars.
The most unusual theory is that Stonehenge
was built by visitors from other worlds.
Stonehenge is the most visited monument in
England, the place always full of tourists. The
best view is early in the morning or in the
evening.

Lesson 11
Revision
Hadrian’s wall
Britain was first mentioned in the written his­
tory about BC 350. In 43 AD Claudius (Roman
Emperor) decided to conquer this island.
It took 30 years to conquer the south and west
of England, and Wales.
In AD 78 Julius Agricola was sent as governor
to Britain.
He protected his part of the country by build­
ing roads and forts. Many of these roads can still
be seen on the ground in Northumberland and
Cumbria.
The Emperor Hadrian left Scotland and de­
cided to build a wall along the whole length of
the Tyne-Solway line to be protected from the
Scots.
Along the line of Hadrian’s Wall there were
16 forts.
All of these forts were built in the same basic
design, which was used all over the Empire for
many centuries.
According to his basic design the perimeter of
the fort was a wall of stone, outlining a “playing
card” shape or rectangular (прямоугольный)
with rounded corners. Outside the perimeter wall
were ditches (ров).
A fort usually had four gates, one in the cen­
tre of each side. Between the two gates in the
shorter sides ran a street (the Via Principalis or
Main Street). It was crossed by a shorter street
leading to the other gate. Opposite the main gate
and at the heart of the fort was the Headquar­
ters Building for the fort garrison.
The Headquarters building had the garrison
room and administrative offices.
The second largest building in each fort was
the Commandant’s house. The Commandant was
a Roman citizen of upper-class rank. His house was
large with many rooms. It was usually centrally
heated by underground channels of hot water.
The fort also had barracks, stables (конюшни),
granaries (зернохранилища), workshops, a hos­
pital and other buildings.
Behind the perimeter wall inside the fort was
a walkway along which the guards walked.
Outside the fort, there were the baths, the
villages where soldiers’ wives and families, local
trades-people lived and shops and bars were
situated.

Bonfire Night
At the beginning of the 17th century there
were many plots (заговор) against King James I.
It was a protest against some laws that were made
in Britain. The most famous of these plots was the
“Gunpowder Plot”. Some people planned to blow
up the House of Lords during the State Opening
of Parliament. The King, together with members
of the House of Lords and House of Commons,
were supposed to be in the Lord’s Chamber.
Robert Catesby was the leader. But Guy
Fawkes became the most famous.
The conspirators rented a cellar (подвал)
under the Lord’s Chamber and put 36 barrels of
gunpowder (бочки с порохом). Guy Fawkes had
to light the barrels at the right moment.
Their plot was discovered. Early in the morn­
ing November 5, 1605 Guy Fawkes was found in
the cellar with the 36 barrels of gunpowder. He
was taken to the Tower of London and later
hanged.
It is still traditional in Britain to have bonfires
and let off fireworks on or around November 5.
The first recorded fireworks in England were
at the wedding of King Henry VII in 1486. They
became the most popular during the reign of
Henry VIII, and Queen Elizabeth I.

What’s in a word?
Welsh is one of the Celtic languages, like
Scottish and Irish Gaelic. Welsh is spoken by 16
to 20 per cent of the population, but only 50 per
cent of people in North and West Wales speak
this language.
The Welsh Language Act of 1967 said that all
official documents and road signs are both in
English and Welsh.
Since the 1960s there has been more interest
in Welsh. At secondary schools almost 50 per cent
of all pupils learn Welsh as a first or second lan­
guage. Since 1982 there has also been an inde­
pendent fourth TV channel in Welsh.
Not many Welsh words are well-known in
England, but the word “eisteddfod” is understood
by almost everybody. This is the Welsh name for
a competition where people meet to dance, sing
and read poems. Usually, only Welsh is spoken
there. It attracts people who want to protest
against the influence of English on the Welsh
language and culture.
The way in which Welsh surnames have de­
veloped is very long and difficult. Before the
Normans arrived, the use of surnames wasn’t
really known.
The most common Welsh surnames were all
originally Christian names in some form: Dylan
Thomas, Roger Dames (a form of David), Geof­
frey Jones (from John), David Williams, etc. Many
other names come from the tradition of calling a
child “son of” his father using the Welsh word “ap”
(or ab). This “p” can be found at the beginning of
many common Welsh names, e.g. Gary Pritchard,
which is the same as the English Richardson. Other
examples are Frees, Price, Parry, and Pugh.
Welshmen living in England are often called
by the nickname “Taffy”. This may come from
the River Taff, which runs through Cardiff, or it
may come from Dafydd, the Welsh form of David.
Welsh is a language, which is very difficult to
learn. It has very musical intonation, and difficult
sounds such as ch and II.
Because many people in Wales speak English,
the Welsh language has borrowed a lot of English
words. Many Welsh-speakers going out to buy
the most famous British meal would ask for “fish
and chips”.

@ ) (149)

(
 г (
Parts of the m otorcar such as “ clutch” ,
“brake” or “radiator” have come into Welsh al­
most unchanged.
Many Welsh-speakers use English words and
add a Welsh ending, so we hear “switchio”, “clim-
bio” , and “recommendio”.

 Why is Lake Superior unique? It took billions
of years to form. The landscape around Lake
Superior is unchanged. It is 31,700 square miles
(81,000 square km) and is about 1,000 feet (about
300m) deep. It is almost as large as New England.
Lake Superior is 22 feet higher than all the other
Great Lakes. Its waters are as clear as crystal
with temperature of about 39 degrees Fahren­
heit (4degrees C) which differs little in summer
and winter. The areas near the shore become
very warm in summer and freeze during the
coldest weather.
Do you know which Great Lake has ship­
wrecks on the floor of it? Lake Superior does. A
lot of people lost their boats in this Great Lake,
too. Shipwrecks are good habitats for fish. There
are 45 species of fish in the lake.
Unlike many other lakes, there are a lot of
reefs in Lake Superior.
The Soo Locks were built to connect Lake
Huron to Lake Superior.
Horses and camels live around Lake Superior.
The lake has 9 islands. The largest island in
Lake Superior is Isle Royal. It is partly situated
in Lake Michigan, too.

Supreme Court justice
It is rather difficult to become a judge at the
H Supreme Court. A person has to be a judge for
many years. The president nominates a judge
only after studying all his writings, speeches, and
job history. The president then gives the name to
the Senate. A special Committee holds a public
hearing then the Senate vote the person in by a
majority (большинство).
There have been only two women on the
Supreme Court of the USA! One of them is
Sandra Day O’Connor.
Sandra Day O’Connor was born on March 26,
1930, in Texas. Her family had a ranch in south­
eastern Arizona. As a little girl, Sandra rode
horses, helped with the animals, and did many
things which usually boys do. The ranch was far
away and her parents sent her to live with her
grandmother where she went to a private school
for girls.
Then, Sandra went to Stanford University.
There she studied economics and went to law
school. She became the Master of Law in two
years. She was the third out of the 102 students
in her class. The second best student in the class
was John Jay O’Connor. They married in 1952.
They had three sons. For several years, San­
dra worked part-time with a partner in their own
law office. She was bright, sociable, and attrac­
tive, and also a hard worker.
During O’Connor’s first year at the Court, she
understood that she was a conservative, but she
always fought for women’s rights. She has a lot
of difficulties in such a male profession!

 from the steps of the Capitol Building. President­
Sv
elect George W. Bush repeated the same words
that George Washington, the first President,
spoke in 1789. Bush had planned to place his hand
on the same Bible used by his father, former
President George H.W. Bush, and by the nation’s
first President, George Washington. But because
of the rainy weather, the Bible was not taken in
from New York City for the ceremony. It stayed
in its box. Bush used a family Bible instead.
The swearing-in is the center of Inauguration
Day. Inauguration festivals began three days
earlier on January 18. Events included a salute to
A m erica’s authors by soon-to-be First Lady
Laura Bush, a ceremony honoring America’s war
veterans by Vice President-elect Richard
Cheney, and a concert celebrating America’s
youth.
Inauguration Day began with the swearing-
in, followed by a parade and an evening of inau­
gural balls. This year’s parade featured 38 high-
school bands from across the country and military
troops (войска).
Later, Bush danced with his wife Laura at
each of the nine official inaugural balls. First Lady
Laura Bush’s dress was especially designed for
the balls. The red silk, and cotton dress was
decorated with beading (биссер) and rubies
(рубины). Her dress will now become part of the
First Ladies exhibition at the Smithsonian Mu­

Topic: "Australia"
Geographical Outlook
Australia is the only country situated on a
whole continent, though the smallest one. It is
situated north and south from the Tropic of
Capricorn (тропик Козерога). Its area is
7,682,300 km^ (2,966,136 square miles). It is the
sixth largest country of the world after Russia,
Canada, China, the US and Brazil.
The coastline consisting of quiet bays, won­
derful beaches, rocks and dramatic cliffs is
36,735km (22,812 miles) long. Australia is washed
(
by the dark blue waters of the Pacific Ocean to
the east, the Arafura Sea to the north, the Indian
Ocean to the west, and the Southern Ocean to
the south.
Australia occupies one of the oldest landmass-
es and it is the flattest of all continents. The
highest peak, Mt Kosciuszko is 2,228 m
(7,310 feet) in the Australian Alps between NSW
and Victoria. The coastline hides a dry and inhos­
pitable centre, the Outback — with its colours of
red, rich brown, pale yellow and orange changed
by the bluish-green of low grass and the linen-
white trunks (стволы) of ghost gum trees (euca­
lyptus). This endless land is broken by saltlakes,
beautiful mountains like the MacDonnell Ranges
near АИсе Springs, FHnders Ranges in South
Australia and the mysterious rocks.
The longest river, starting in Queensland, is
the Darling which is 2,736 km.

 Topic: "Climate and W ildlife"
Y ou’ll think you’re alone. Just you in your
sleeping bag out there in the Outback under the
,S stars. You and that ink-black sky, filled with a
million diamonds of light. Sleep, then wake be­
side kangaroos, wombats, wallabies (кенгуру-
валлаби), possums and galahs... That’s just some
of the wildlife you’ll see in Australia.
From the rainforests to the ocean floors (дно),
Australia is a mix of flora and fauna. You can
find the cackling laugh of the kookaburra, or see
the brilliant rainbow — blue, red, yellow and
green. Across the land you’ll find flock (стая)
after flock of cockatoos and pink and grey galahs.
Fish, birds, sharks, kangaroos and dugongs...
Don’t be surprised to meet a hopping (пры­
гающий) kangaroo or running emu — a large
flightless bird — while driving along in the
countryside. The national symbols from the Aus­
tralian coat of arms (герб) are found throughout
the continent in large numbers. Australia’s isola­
tion for more than 55 million years has created
unique animals and plants found nowhere else in
the world. Australia’s marsupials (сумчатые) did
not have to com pete with highly developed
mammals and there are still over 100 species
which live in ideal conditions.
Take koala, sleeping peacefully on a branch
high above the ground in a gum-tree with the
young holding itself tight to mum’s back. Keep
your eyes wide open, they’re hard to see but can
be found in national parks and forests along the
east coast.
@>
Australia has a really interesting animal
group, the egg laying mammals, that are often
referred to as living fossils (ископаемые), like the
echidna or anteater. While visiting a zoo, don’t
forget to look at the wombat, a large, grazing
marsupial. Wombats have been in Australia for
15 million years and are found in many parts of
Australia.
The Tasmanian Devil is a fascinating animal.
Now it can be only found in the wild in Tasmania,
the Tassie Devil with powerful jaws (челюсти).
There are 520 lizard species in Australia from
small squeaking geckos to the frill-necked
(ушастый) lizard and the swift moving goanna
that can reach a size of 2m.
Whales migrate from Antarctica during win­
