and some large squares in it. There is a river running through
our town with a new bridge across it. There are some machine-
building plants in our town. There are some cinemas, clubs, and
parks there too. And I must tell you that there is a large stadium
where all the young people of our town often go. It is here that.
we see football matches and other games. There is quite a good
basket-ball team at our school.
II
In the main street, which is quite wide, there are always many
people. Some are on bicycles1 and motor-cycles. Young people like
to have bicycles and motor-cycles. Have you a bicycle or a motor-
cycle? Is it a good one? Is it a new one? In the main street there
is also a cinema, the Sputnik. Young people like to go there.
There are many night schools in our town, so young people can
work and study at the same time. There is a very good library,
where they can read books, magazines, and newspapers.
I like our town very much. I think it is very good. But before
I finish, I want to ask you if you also think it is good and
beautiful. Is it?

долготы гласной не влияет на смысл слова, в английском
языке замена долгого звука кратким и наоборот часто из-
меняет смысл слова. Например: slip [slip] — поскользнуться
и sleep [si i:p] — спать. Поэтому нужно строго соблюдать
долготу гласных звуков.

Q A MEETING AT THE PLANT
I
There is a meeting at the machine-building plant In our town.
Sokolov has come back from Moscow. He has been to a machine-
building plant in Moscow, and now he must tell his comrades about
what he has seen there.
Sokolov: I shall begin, comrades, with what you all know. You
know that we must fulfil the decisions1 of the 25th Party
Congress, that we must help the country to build Commu-
nism, that our Five-Year Plan is that of quality, of high
quality. The collective farmers will produce more -bread,
milk, butter and meat. They must have many fine machines.
And the machines we produce must be of a really high
quality.
I have been to the Moscow machine-building plant and
have seen how they work there. Now they have six Quality
Teams at their plant already. All the members of the
Quality Teams not only fulfil their plans in good time and
work at the highest standards, but they always help others to
keep the quality of production high.
The members of these teams are not only good workers.
Many of them study at night schools, technical schools or
different institutes. Some of them are good at sports or
amateur activities. * * They read newspapers and books together
1 decisions [di'sijanzJ — решения

a good worker. He must live like a Communist.

times.

do without useless waste.1 And if we do, we shall also have
Quality Teams at our plant. Comrades, let us have a com-
petition for a Quality Teaml
Workers: Yes. You are nght. Let us have such a competition.

Some Words About England
Many people have a rest on Sunday in our country. On this
day people like to go to the cinema or to the theatre. They often
go to the shops on Sunday, but in England almost all the shops
are closed'on Sunday. The theatres and many cinemas are closed
too. People in London like to rest in the parks on. this day, or
they go to the sea in a car if they are rich. The sea is not far
from London, so people go to the seaside in the morning, spend
the day there, and come back in the evening. The south coast is
only fifty or sixty miles from London.
English people like tea very much. They often go to tea-rooms
in the day-time if they want some tea. But they will not have
tea in the open air because there is often rain in England.
We like to ask our friends to come for dinner or for tea.
English people like that too. In our country you say ‘thank you’
after tea or dinner. But in England you must not say ‘thank you’
after tea or dinner. You must say ‘thank you’ when you are leaving.
You must thank the Englishman because he has asked you to come.
to the seaside —к морю
mile —миля (английская миля —1609 м)

west the Atlantic Ocean [at'laentik 'otijnj. The capital of Great
Britain is London. You can see London on this map too. Look!
It is in the south of
the large island.
The name Britain
is’ very old. Some peo-
ple think that it comes
from the Britons. These
were the people who
lived on the British
Isles very long ago.
The name England
came much later. The
Angles 1 were the peo-
ple who came and land-
ed1 2 on the coast of
the British Isles in the
fifth century. They
gave their name to a
part of the country in
the south. England
means ‘the land of
the Angles’.
England is in tne
south of the large
island and Scotland
['skotland] is in the north. The island that is to the west of Eng-
land is Ireland ['aialand]. Only the north-eastern part of the island
which is near Great Britain (called Ulster or Northern Ireland) is
part of the United Kingdom. ’ The rest is the Irish Republic called
in Irish Eire ['earej. When you speak about all the parts of the
country, you must say Great Britain and not England, because
England is only a part of Great Britain.

Did you work on the second shift?

ball team. We trained really hard to prepare for competi-
tions. fn winter I often skied and skated because I liked
sport very much. At school I did not study very well.
I did not know English, but I wanted to know it. So I
asked my friend to help me. We worked really hard for a

.JACK LONDON’S MARTIN EDEN
I
On my day off I am going to read a book about an American
worker who became a well-known writer. My friend told me all
about it. It was very hard for the American worker [because he
didn’t know much. But he wanted to become a writer so much
that he worked day and night reading, studying and writing. At
last he became a good writer. People in his country started reading
his stories and liked them. He became famous. But he lived in
a capitalist country, so no one helped him, and he could not study
at the university because he had no money.
The book I am going to read is very interesting. I like the
character very much. His life was very hard, but still he became
what he wanted to be. Of course, in our country it would have
A a ring—-кольцо
89
been1 different for him. In our country
every man who wants to study can study,
and he who has talent will become famous.
I think you know the book I am going
to read, don’t you? It is Martin Eden by
Jack London, a famous American writer.
II
Jack London’s life, like the life of his
character, was very hard before he became
famous. He had to work at different plants
and farms. He had to do different work. He
went to Alaska to find gold there. He did
not find any gold, but he found the charac-
ters of his stories: strong, brave people. Lenin liked London’s story
The Love of Life very much. Have you read it? I am not going to
tell you the story. I am sure that, if you have not read this story,
you are going to read it some day. I -am sure you will enjoy it.
And what about Martin Eden? Have you read it or heard about
it? If not, you must read it. It will be useful. You will learn
about a man with a hard but interesting life. You will see how
difficult it is for a worker in a capitalist country to become a fa-
mous writer.
Have you read any stories by Jack London? Which ones? Did
you like them? Are you going to read Martin Eden now that I
have told you about it? Read it! I am sure it is going to be inter-
esting and useful for you.

A FRENCHMAN IN NEW YORK
One day a Frenchman came to New York on business.1 He did
not know English at all.
When he came to New York, he took a taxi and told the driver
to take him to an hotel [ou'tel]. The French and the English for
an hotel is almost the same, and, as the Frenchman kept repeating
the word, the driver understood him and took him where he wanted.
The Frenchman decided to go for a walk, before it grew dark
and to look at the town about which he heard people speak so
much. So he left his things in the wardrobe in his room at the
hotel and went out into the street.
The street looked very narrow because the houses were very
high. The Frenchman went down the street. Suddenly he stopped.
i on business ['bizmsj — по делам
108
“How am I going to find the way back?” he thought. “I know
neither the name of the hotel nor the name of the street in which
it is situated.” He did not want to go back to the hotel, so he
decided to write down the name of the street. He looked up at
the houses and saw some words written in large letters at the
corner of the street. He was sure that it was the name of the
street, so he took his notebook out of his pocket1 and wrote the
words down.
He walked about the streets for a long time until it grew quite
dark. At last he wanted to get back to his hotel. He took his
notebook out of the pocket, stopped a man and showed him the
words. The man looked at the words and went on. The Frenchman
kept showing his notebook to the people in the street, but they
could not tell the way to his hotel. In the notebook they read:
“One way street”.1 2

THE STRONGER MAN
Ma»y, many years ago there was a man in England who was
very strong. Everyone knew him. He often said, “If I ever meet
anyone who is stronger than I am, I’m going to give him all the
money in my purse.”1
One day as he was riding
somewhere, his horse lost a shoe.1 2
When the man came to the
nearest town, he asked for some-
one who could shoe his horse.3
The smith in that town was
very strong too. The man told
the smith to bring him some of
the best horseshoes he had. When
the smith brought him some horse-
shoes, the strong man looked at •
them, took one of them and said, “This is a bad shoe. It’s no
good for my horse. Haven’t you got anything better? Look!” And
he took it in his strong hands and broke it easily. The smith
looked at him, but said nothing. Then he brought another horseshoe.
The man took it and broke it as easily as the first one. The smith
brought him a third one. The strong man broke it too and then
said, “I see that you haven’t got any good horseshoes. Don’t you
see that I need something really good for my horse? Bring me one
more and I’ll go.” The smith brought a fourth shoe and the strong
man gave him some coins.
The smith looked at the coins, took one and said, “This is a
bad coin. Haven’t you got anything better? Look!” He took the
coin between his fingers and broke it into two. It was now the
strong man’s turn to be surprised. He didn’t say anything, but
gave the smith another coin. The smith broke it too. The man
gave him a third coin. The smith broke it like the first two and
1 a purse [pars] —кошелек
2 a shoe (horseshoe)—зд. подкова
8 to shoe a horse — подковать лошадь
119
said, “I see that you haven’t got any good coins. Don’t you see
that I need some really good ones? So give me one more and we’ll
be quits.”1
The strong man looked at him and said, “I’ve promised to give
my purse to anyone I meet, who is stronger than I am. Here it is.
Take it! It’s yours now.”

THEATRE IN THE DAYS OF SHAKESPEARE
I
I am sure it will be of some interest for you to know what
the theatre in the days of Shakespeare looked like.
It did not look like our modern theatres. It was a high round
building without any roof1 except over the stage, and people sat
i a roof [ru:f]~крыша
133
and stood around the stage. In winter the theatres were closed
The buildings were small and could not hold so many people as
our modern theatres can. As there was no artificial light in those
days, the plays took place in the day-time, between one and three
o’clock in the afternoon. A flag was put up above the building to
show to everybody that a play was going on at the theatre.
Then there was no scenery1 and the public was informed where
the action was taking place by a paper put up in such a way
that the people could easily read it. There it was written: Field;
Sea coast; Forest, and so on. Sometimes the actors told the public
where they were.
II
In those days women were not allowed to work in theatres.
All the parts1 2 of girls and women were acted by boys. A boy
first played the parts of women and when he grew up, he started
acting men’s parts at the same theatre.
The actors were .often partners3 in the theatre business. Shake-
speare was one of the partners in the theatre where he acted and
for which he wrote his dramas. It was the famous Globe,,
Quite a few of Shakespeare’s tragedies and comedies are pro-
duced in the theatres of the Soviet Union and some have been
filmed: Othello [ou'Selou] with Bondarchuk as Othello; Hamlet
['haemht] with Smoktunovsky as Hamlet; Twelfth Night with
1 scenery ['si znarij— декорации
2 a part—зд. роль
3 a partner —партнер, компаньон
134
Larionova, Skobzeva and Merkuriev; King Lear [ha) with Yuri
Yarvet as King Lear. Music to the ballet on Shakespeare’s Romeo
and Juliet ['roumiou and 'dgurljat] was composed by one of the
greatest Soviet composers Sergei Prokofyev. This ballet was also
filmed with Ulanova dancing the main part —Juliet.
I am sure you have seen some of these films. If not, you must
go and see them when they are on. You will enjoy these films
very much. You will go to see them if you can, won’t you?

The Shirt
Many, many years ago there lived a king. He was very rich
and he had everything he wanted. His country was strong and
famous, but the king was not happy. So one day he went to con-
sult a wise old man, who told him:
“Happiness is a very rare thing in this world, but I know the
way to find it.”
“How shall I find it?” asked the king.
The king thanked the old man and began to look for the shirt
of a happy man. He visited most of the capitals of the world, met
kings, writers, professors, actors, doctors, and others ...

DINNER FOR MR. MARTIN
(Adapted from a story by George. Surdez)
I
It isn’t only at school that we learn.
When 1 was a child, I was afraid of many things. I was afraid
of the dark, of dogs, of older boys. My mother was always trying
to teach me not to be afraid.
She often told me: “What will you be doing when you grow
up if you are afraid of everything? How will you be living? How
wjll you be working? How will you be struggling for your country
in case of war or danger?” '
One day she told me a story about herself. A story that I
remembered so well.
When she was about fourteen, she was living in a small village.
Her father often invited people to spend an evening with him, for
he liked to have people in his house. One day a travelling show-
man1 came to the village with a bear that he called Mr. Martin.
It was a fine big bear, and it could dance, count and do other
1 a travelling showman ['Jouman] — зд. бродячий артист
145
funny things. The people were looking at the bear and laughing.
Sometimes the showman started struggling with the bear himself,
and the people were enjoying that best of all. But the showman
told them not to come near the bear because it was dangerous.
My grandfather invited the man to spend the night at his place,
and the bear was put into a shed.1 Some friends joined them and
came to spend the evening with my grandfather. They were having
dinner, and the showman was telling different funny stories and
singing songs to them when we all heard some great noise coming
from the shed. “I’m sorry,” the man said, “it’s my Martin. I forgot
to give him food, so he started making a noise there.”
II
My grandfather called my mother and sent her to take food to
the bear. My mother was afraid. She did not know what to do. She
did not know whether it was better to say ‘no’ to her father or
to go to the bear. She chose the bear.
The people kept laughing and singing in the house. My mother
was shaking all over. The bear was making a great noise, yet she
began walking slowly to the
shed. She was shaking all
over but she opened the door
and put the food behind the
door. Seeing food, the bear
stopped making the noise,
looked up at the girl and
started eating. Then my mother
suddenly understood that she
had been afraid for nothing.1 2
The bear was old and not
dangerous at all. Her father
knew it. He understood that the showman told the people that the
bear was dangerous to make the show more interesting, and she stop-
ped shaking. “After that,” my mother finished, “I was never afraid
of anything before I knew if there was anything to be really afraid of.”
Many years passed. I went through the war. I was no longer
afraid of many things and it was my mother’s story that helped
me in that, for in a moment of danger I always tried to see if
there was anything to be really afraid of. Very often there was not.

WATER-MELON MOON
(Adapted from a story by Borden Deal)
[1] When I think of the summer I was sixteen, I remember
Willadean ['wib,di:n] Wills, the first girl I was interested in. But
there was her father, Mr. Wills, and we, the boys of the village,
were all afraid of him. Mr. Wills was a big man and the best
farmer in the region.
The summer I was sixteen Mr. Wills had the greatest water-
melon ever grown in that part of the country. He was fond of the
melon and out of the seeds1 of that great melon he wanted to
plant a field of water-melons the next year. Every night I could
see Mr. Wills sitting at the window with a gun2 in his hands,
looking over his melon field. *
That autumn the weather was really fine. About the time the
great water-melon was ripe, there was a night with a full moon.
It was such a night that you felt as if you could do anything in
the world, a night when you had to do something dangerous and
courageous, something that would surprise Willadean Wills.
[2] To this day I don’t know why I said that I could steal the
great water-melon with Mr. Wills sitting there gun and eye on the
field and the full moon above it. Maybe I wanted to show to the
boys that I was no worse than they and was afraid of nothing.
But once I said it, it was impossible not to go or to wait for a
dark night.
Shaking all over, I went slowly across the field. I was think-
ing of all sorts of danger. The melon was heavy. My legs seemed
1 seeds [si:dz] —семена
8 a gun [длп] —ружье
155
to be wooden. And then there was Mr. Wills with a gun who could
always kill1 me.
When I came back with the heavy melon, I was surprised
to see how excited the boys were. They were almost sure that
Mr. Wills would see me. Now they could enjoy my success. But
I went home with a strange feeling in my heart. It was not a feel-
ing of satisfaction, but something quite different.
[3] Suddenly we heard a terrible cry coming from Mr. Wills’
field. When my father and I came running there, we saw Mr. Wills
standing on the place where the great water-melon used to grow.
He did not shout any longer. “They have stolen my great melon,”
he said crying. No man in our village ever cried, but Mr. Wills
was crying now.
“1 had two plans for that melon,” he explained to my father.
“Mrs. Wills has been ill all the time and she likes water-melons
so much. That very water-melon was for her. And then next year
I wanted to grow a field of such water-melons, so that other farm-
ers in the region could grow water-melons of the same size.
Every day Mrs. Wills keeps asking me if the great water-melon is
ripe. And now it’s gone!”
I could not stand there listening to him any longer and ran
home.
[4] I don’t know what I thought of that night. But next morn-
ing, finding courage, I went to Mr. Wills and told him:
“I have stolen your melon, Mr. Wills.”
“Why did you take it?” he asked me.
“I don’t know,” I said.
1 to kill —убивать
156
“Did you know that it was for my wife who was ill?” That I
did not know. I wanted to run away, but I could not move.
“I’ll help you grow water-melons next year,” at last I said
excitedly.
Suddenly I saw him examine me smiling.
“We’ll grow them together,” he said. “A man with a farm needs
a son.”
I looked at Willadean who now stood next to me holding my
hand and I saw her smile too.

HIS FIRST VISIT TO LONDON
I
Not so long ago a night-school pupil was sent to London to
work on a machine at an exhibition.1 2 When he came back, he
told me of his impressions3 of London and the English.
“When I got to my hotel,” he said, “I was met by the mana-
ger4 * who smiled without stopping. I studied English at school,
but what he said I could not understand. I told him my name.
He smiled and said something to one of the boys who showed me
to my room. I was so tired after the trip that I was glad to go
to bed.
“I was never hungrier than when I woke next morning. Before
I came down, I looked up three times.in my book to make sure
that the word ‘breakfast’ really meant ‘breakfast’.
“At the table the waiter6 asked me something I could not
understand. I said my one prepared word —‘breakfast’. He looked
at me in surprise, so I repeated it. The waiter shook his head
and went away, but he came back in a minute together with the
manager. I said ‘breakfast’ in an angry voice. The manager smiled
and looked quite helpless. So I took out a pencil and wrote
‘breakfast’.
“I have never seen such surprised faces in my life —I understood
I did not say it correctly after all.
0 II
“A little later the waiter brought a tray* with tea, bread,
butter and marmalade — enough for a small army —and went away.
1 porridge ('ponds] каша (чаще овсяная)
2 an exhibition [,eksi'bijan] —выставка
3 an impression [im'prejon] —впечатление
4 a manager ['maenid^a]— управляющий; директор (предприятия)
6 a waiter ['weito]— официант, кельнер
3 a tray (treij — поднос
165
I was hungry and left nothing. When the waiter came back, I
thought his face showed a little surprise. In another minute he
brought a plate with bacon and eggs. When I finished the bacon
and eggs and was trying to get up, here was the waiter again.
This time it was a whole fish in white sauce. Before I could tell
him anything, he put it down and was gone. I was really angry;
but there was nothing for it but to eat the fish.
“All the time I was eating it, I was trying to think of what I
could say to the waiter when he came. At last I made up two
sentences. I called the waiter and told him in very correct English
that only a man who was dying of hunger could eat such a break-
fast. He must have understood me at once. I felt very proud of
my English, especially of ‘dying of hunger’ — it was very well said.
“I have never seen anyone run out of the room as quickly as he
did, but in a minute he was back again —with a big plate of
sandwiches.1 This was too much. I got up and slowly went to my
room.”

A Bear at School
One morning a boy saw a little brown bear in the forest. The

fond of the bear and often gave it some meat or bread and butter.
They were good friends.
Once the bear went to the forest and did not return.
Many years passed. Once on a very cold winter day the door
of the school opened and a large bear walked into the room. The
boys were frightened. They ran out of the room, but the bear did
not even look at them. He went to the baskets of food and took
some bread. Then he went out of the house. It was the old friend
of the boys, that remembered his friends when it was cold and
hungry in winter.

THE OLYMPIC GAMES
The Olympic Games began more than two thousand years ago
in Greece.1 They were held every four years at mount Olympus.* 2
Greek cities sent their best athletes to take part in
the Games. Numerous spectators came to watch the и
Games. All wars were stopped during the Games, ..
and people became friendly. So the Olympic Games .11,
were always full of spirit of peace and friendship. IIII
The Olympic Games in Greece were held up to И II
the year 349. But at the end of the nineteenth —
century a French pedagogue, Pierre de Coubertin,
put forward the idea3 of organizing international
Olympic Games. Thanks to his energy the 1st
Olympic Games were opened on April 5,1896, in Athens.
Since that time they were held more or less regularly:
1896 —Greece
1900 — France
1904-USA
1908 — England •
1912 —Sweden
1920-Holland
1924 — France
1928-Holland
1932-USA
1936 — Germany
1948 — England
1952 — Finland
1956 —Australia
1960 —(summer) Italy
1960 —(winter) USA
1964 —Japan
1968 —Mexico
1972 — (summer) GFR
— (winter) Japan
1976 — (summer) Canada
— (winter) Austria
In Greece wars were stopped during the Olympic Games, but
in the first half of our century the Olympic Games were not held
* Greece [gri:s] —Греция; Greek —греческий; грек

Кубертэн, выдвинул идею

during the years of war— 1916, 1944. The Games that were not
held still have their numbers —6th and 12th.
Already during the 4th Olympic Games Nikolai Panin-Kolo-
menkin became Olympic champion in figure-skating and Nikolai
Orlov and Andrei Petrov won silver medals in wrestling.1 After
the Great Patriotic War numerous Soviet sportsmen became Olympic
champions, won gold, silver, and bronze medals and are always
having high team places ever since.
1980 is the year of the Moscow 22nd Olympic Games. No
other city in the world has so many sports structuresi 2 as our
capital. Yet it was decided to add more, to rebuild those in opera-
tion, and to build new hotels for numerous sports fans from all
over the world. It was decided, for example, to build a new
stadium (the largest in Europe) for 35,000 — 45,000 spectators in
Mir Prospect, with an additional building of a swimming pool for
15,000 spectators. In short, 1980 Moscow Olympics are the most
memorable, well-organized Games that demonstrate not only
achievements in sport but also spirit of peace and friendship among
nations.

The Story of Hockey
How old is hockey?
We can say for sure that it is very old. On one of the walls
of an Egyptian tomb, more than four thousand years old, there
were found images of men playing grass hockey. On a wall of an
ancient Greek house (about 500 В. C.) there were also found im-
ages of men playing grass hockey. It is known that the Aztec of
Central America and the Indians of North America knew grass
hockey. The Japanese played it in the 9th —12th centuries. A game

similar to grass hockey is still played in Tajikistan, Georgia,
Lithuania.
But grass hockey may be older than all that. It was an ancient
shepherds ball game played with the help of shepherd rods bent
at the end to catch and to direct sheep. The shepherds used to
play it to while away the time when grazing sheep. Even the word
‘hockey’ comes from old Anglo-Saxon ‘hoc’ which meant ‘shepherd’s
rod’ a stick bent at the end.
Grass hockey gave rise to all other kinds of hockey: ice hockey,
rink hockey, etc. and is most ptobably the .oldest ball game on
Earth.

звуки, не стоящие под ударением, редуцируются, т. е. произно-
сятся нечетко. Это явление представляет некоторую трудность для
обучающихся иностранному языку как при говорении, так и при
чтении. В английском языке гласные звуки, не стоящие под уда-
рением, часто произносятся как звуки [э] или [i], а в отдельных
случаях даже опускаются совсем.

STRATFORD-UPON-AVON
[1J Stratford is a very interesting town in the central part of
England. Around Stratford there are beautiful forests, green fields
and a quiet little river —the Avon feivan].
[2] 0 The first place we went to when we came to Stratford
was Shakespeare’s birthplace, a small house in the centre pf the
town with small rooms in it. We saw the very room where Shake-
speare was born.
[3] In one of the rooms we saw a little wooden desk, just the
very desk that Shakespeare sat at when he went io study at
school in Stratford. But it was the garden behind the house that
drew our attention. There are planted all the flowers and trees that
are mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays.
[4] When Shakespeare became successful in London, he bought
the biggest house in Stratford, a house called New Place. Here
he wrote his last plays A Winter's Tale3 and The Tempest* and
here he died. I wanted to see that house, but there is nothing
left of it. Our guide explained that Mr. Gastrell ['gastril], the man
who bought the house after Shakespeare’s death, was so angry
» furntture ['fatmtjaj—мебель
2 A Winter's Tale—«Зимняя сказка»
* The Tempest—«Буря»
186
because a lot of people came to see the house, that he pulled it
down in 1758. 0
[5] After lunch we went across the fields, about a kilometre
and a half out of Stratford, to Anne Hathaway’s ['haeBaweis] Cot-
tage f'katid^] — a lovely black-and-white wooden house. Anne Hath-
away was Shakespeare’s wife, and the cottage is just as it was
in Shakespeare’s time.
[6] We had a look at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre1 which
has one of the best stages in England. The productions of Shake-
speare’s . plays on the stage of the theatre are famous all over
England and the best actors of the country take part in them.

coat shows that you’re an Englishman. Your haircut shows that
your hair has been cut by a German barber. I put all that together

Now that you know about Shakespeare and his birthplace, here is one of
his famous comedies. Read it and try to understand it without word for
word translation. Then do Exercises 1 and 2.
TWELFTH NIGHT
[1] Sebastian [si'baestjan] and Viola ['vaialo], a young gentleman
and a lady, were twins,1 and it was difficult to tell who was the
brother and who the sister, except for their clothes. One day, when
the twins were on board a ship, a terrible storm broke out and
their ship sank.1 2 The captain of the ship and some men saved
themselves in a boat and took Viola with them. The girl was crying
all the time because she thought that her brother died. She was
in low spirit because she was alone in an unknown country,
without money, tired, and hungry.
[2] The captain gave her a man’s clothes and brought her to the
palace3 of Orsino [o:'si:nou], the duke4 of Illiria [I'hna]. Viola
took the name of Cesario [se'za:riou] because she did not want to
show that she was a woman. The duke liked Cesario very much
and made him his page.5 They spent much time together and the
duke told young Cesario of his love for a beautiful lady whose
name was Olivia [ou'lkvia]. But Olivia did not love the diike and
1 twins “близнецы
2 sank —npouz. вр. от to sink (sank, sunk) —тонуть, погружаться (в)
3 a palace —дворец
4 a duke — герцог
5 a page — паж
198
did not wish to see him. Cesario was sorry for the duke because
now Viola-Cesario herself was in love with Duke Ofsino.
[3] The duke sent his page to Olivia to speak instead of him of
his great love for her and to ask her to allow him to see her.
Olivia did not want to seeOrsino, but she liked his page very much.
When Viola saw that, she was quite at a loss at such a turn and
left Olivia’s house. But the duke again sent his page to speak to
Olivia.
When Viola-Cesario was leaving Olivia’s house for the second
time, a man, who was also in love with Olivia, attacked him and
wanted to kill the page because, he learned that Olivia was in love
with the page. Being a woman, Viola did not know how to fight.
Suddenly, one of the numerous spectators of the scene ran. up to
her and fought instead of her with the man who wanted to kill her.
Then the newcomer asked her to return his money. But Viola
had no money and knew nothing about the man. At that moment
the man was arrested for fighting and killing. As they were taking
him away to prison, he appeared to be quite at a loss and cried:
“Sebastian, Sebastian, why don’t you remember your good friend
Antonio [aen'touniou], who helped you in danger!”
Viola understood that the man imagined her to be Sebastian
and it made her be sure that her brother was in the town too.
[4] Antonio saved Sebastian after the storm and brought him to
Illiria. They became great friends, and Antonio gave Sebastian
money to buy some things that he needed.
When Sebastian was returning to the ship looking for his friend,
Olivia saw him and, imagining him to be Cesario, spoke to him
about her great love for him. Sebastian was greatly surprised, but
199
the lady was beautiful and he liked her too. Olivia asked him to
marry her and he agreed.
[5] After some time Sebastian left his wife for a short while. He
went to look for Antonio and to bring him to his new house.
At that time Duke Orsino came to see Olivia with his pageViola-
Cesario. Olivia thought Cesario to be her husband and began speak-
ing with him. Cesario was quite at a loss, and the duke was angry
that his page was married to Olivia. At that moment Sebastian,
the real husband of Olivia, returned. Now everything was explained.
The duke saw that Olivia was married, but now he also learned
that his page was a woman and that she loved him very much.
She was beautiful and loved him dearly, so he decided to marry
her instead of marrying Olivia. Antonio was freed from prison.
Sebastian, Viola, and Antonio stayed in Illiria and Hived happily
ever after.

Then, do Exercise 1.
GOOD MORNING, MISS DOVE
(Adapted from a story by Frances G. Patton)
I
Miss Dove was a very strict1 teacher. If a pupil wanted to
leave the classroom to have a drink of water, Miss Dove only
looked at him and said nothing. She never allowed her*pupils to
leave the classroom before the break, and they called her ‘the
terrible Miss Dove’. Only after she had told them to close their
books and go, did they quietly leave the classroom in silence,
without pushing and pulling each other.
1 strict — строгий
209
The next geography lesson began. The pupils took their places
silently and Miss Dove made them write, for it was Tuesday and
on Tuesdays they always had some written work.
When they were writing, she was looking at them and think-
ing. Life was a strange thing. It took her children to such strange
places. One was in Germany, another in the jungle of New
Guinea.1 War brought the children she had taught to different
places of the world.
A boy in the corner pushed a girl who was sitting next to
him. Miss Dove looked at him and he stopped pushing. Miss Dove
kept looking at the boy, but she did not see him. Instead of him
she saw his brother, Thomas Baker, who had sat in that place
some six or seven years before. The German planes had bombed
his ship and for many days he had stayed on a raft1 2 without
anything to eat and almost nothing to drink. The newspapers had
written a lot about him in those days.
Randy Baker put his hand up.
“Yes, Baker?” Miss Dove said.
“I got a letter from Tom yesterday,” said the boy. “May Г read
it to the boys?”
“Yes, certainly, do.”
II
Randy started reading in a clear voice. Tom told his younger
brother what he had seen from above flying in the plane in which
he was brought back to England. The land below looked like the
1 in the jungle ['djAggl] of New Guinea ['gmi] — в джунглях Новой Гвинеи
2 a raft [raft] —плот
210
map he had used at the lessons of geography at school. Then he
told him how he had suffered from lack of water on the raft.
“Do you know who I was thinking about then?” he wrote. “I was
thinking of Miss Dove. Strange, isn’t it? Out there in the open
sea I was playing. Yes, and it helped me to stay alive.1 I played
that I was back again in the geography room. 1 remembered the
look Miss Dove gave us when we wanted to leave the classroom.
I kept saying to myself: ‘The lesson will soon be over. You can
wait a little longer.’ And it made everything easier. Tell that to
the boys.”
Randy stopped suddenly.
“Is that all?” asked Miss Dove.
“No,” said Randy. His face became very red. “He says here:
‘Please, thank Miss Dove and give her a kiss for me!”’
In the silence that followed little Randy kissed ‘the terrible
Miss Dove’. Everybody kept silence except one little girl who
suddenly spoke.
“It’s like a medal,” she said. “It’s like a medal that he has
given to Miss Dove.”

MARX AND ENGELS IN ENGLAND
I
Do you know that the great teachers of the world proletariat
Marx and Engels spent most of their lives in England and knew
English quite well?
1 berries, mushrooms —ягоды, грибы
222
Engels was the first who came to England in 1842. His father
had some business in 'Manchester, a large industrial town in the
north-west of England, and he sent his son there to help him in
his work. But instead of going about his father’s business, young
Engels was more interested in the position of the workers and in
the struggle of the working class against 'capitalism. He gathered
a lot of material which he published in 1845 in his famous work
The Position of the Working Class in England.
Some years later on his way home Engels met Marx in France,
and since that time they had been true friends until Marx’ death
in 1883. History knows many examples of friendship between great
men, but it is probably difficult to find another case of such a
fine friendship as that of Marx and Engels. Together they studied
the position of the working class, its sufferings, its struggle for
its rights and against exploitation, its role in the society,1 pub-
lished The Communist Manifesto in 1848 and organized the First
International in 1864.
II
When in June, 1849, Marx had to leave France, he went to
London and stayed there up to the end of his life in 1883. At that
time Engels lived in Manchester. Only in the seventies of the last
century did Engels manage to leave Manchester and move to Lon-
don to join Karl Marx.
Both of them knew English well. There was a time when Marx
wrote articles1 2 for an American newspaper The New York Tribune
['tnbju:n], Marx knew English quite well, still he sometimes asked
Engels, who had lived in England for a longer time than he,
to help him with his English. Engels helped Marx economically
and went on helping him until Marx’ death.
After the death of Marx Engels continued the work of Marx
until he himself died in London in 1895.
So we see that Marx and Engels were both born in Germany
['dgaimoni], but they spent the greater part of their lives3 in
England. Many of their books, Marx’ main work Capital, for
example, were written and published in London. Their graves4 in
London are still the places which are visited by thousands of people i
from all over the world.

MAN IN SPACE
I
Man in space. It took hundreds of thousands of years before
Man started leaving his Mother Earth and flying into outer space,
reaching other planets with his clever instruments, making his
machines move and do research work on the Moon and in space.
And at the foot of it all stands a small house in Kaluga looking
over the Oka river. There is a verandah in the house. A usual
verandah with a wooden door to it. Yet it was about that door
that Alexei Leonov, space pilot, said: “I think that without this
wooden door there would have been no rocket hatches,1 no April
12, nor ... Yuri Gagarin.” For it was through that door that
a simple Russian school-teacher and a world’s great scientist,
К. E. Tsiolkovsky, went to look at the stars thinking over prob-
lems of exploring space.
Leaving the Earth was a problem. Tsiolkovsky suggested using
rockets. One rocket was not enough. Tsiolkovsky suggested a ‘rocket
train’. Living in space is another problem. Tsiolkovsky developed
his theory trying to overcome the difficulties. Moving in space,
working in space, building up orbital stations ... there is almost
no problem in space research that Tsiolkovsky, that wonderful
man from the Oka river, did not study. “What is impossible today
will be possible tomorrow,” he said. “The planet is the cradle of
reason,1 2 but one cannot live in the cradle for ever.”

On October 4, 1957, came the first sputnik. Sputniks were
followed by lunniks. On April 12, 1961, a courageous Soviet citizen,
Yuri Gagarin, became the first man to leave the ‘cradle’ and to
orbit3 it. He was followed by others. Almost everyone of these
was the first in something: Titov —the first to orbit our planet
17 times,4 Tereshkova — the first woman space pilot, Leonov —the
first man to walk out into space, etc. Soviet spaceships photographed
the Moon and brought the first moon car, Lunokhod, to its surface.
They started exploring Venus, Mars [maz] and other planets.
Difficult was the work of the pupils and followers of Tsiolkovsky.
Yet, during the short period after the scientist’s death, in 1935,
1 there would have been no rocket hatches—не было бы ни крышек люков
ракеты
2 the cradle of reason ['kreidl ov 'ri:zn]—колыбель разума
3 to orbit—облететь вокруг Земли
4 times—ad. (много) раз
236
so much has already been done and achieved. The first space
flight,1 foretold by Tsiolkovsky for 2017, was moved to a much
earlier date. What will Man manage to do by 2017? Science devel-
ops so quickly that it is almost impossible to foretell what other
new worlds will be reached, explored or discovered. Whatever
it is going to be, it will be something to make us be proud of
our Age, of our Science, of our Man. As years go by, men will
again and again come to that little house over the Oka river, and
to the famous Museum of Cosmonautics [,kozma'n3:tiks] where
Tsiolkovsky’s works are kept and developed, to take their hats off
to a simple Russian teacher who had shown Mankind the Way to
the Stars.

Test Paper No. 7 (3)
1. Read the following and do Exercise 2.
Copernicus [kou'pa:ntkas]
Men have always been interested in stars. The old Greeks were
great watchers of the sky and also great thinkers. Watching the
stars night after night, it was natural for them to think that the
Earth stood still, and the stars, the planets, the Sun and the Moon
were going round the Earth in space. For centuries men thought
this was how the stars moved, though it was difficult to explain
the movement of the planets. But at the beginning of the 16th
century a young scientist at Cracow University in Poland named
Copernicus began studying the stars and the planets. Copernicus
decided that the Earth was not the centre of the stars and the
planets, but that the Earth itself was a planet, just like Mars and
Venus, and it, together with other planets, moved round the Sun.
Not all of Copernicus’ ideas were right. He thought correctly
that the Moon went round the Earth, and the Earth moved round
the Sun, but he thought that the stars did not move at all. Coper-
nicus was so much afraid of what everyone would think of his new
ideas, that he wrote them down only when he was almost dying.
Yet he was the first man to explain correctly our Solar System.
to stand still—стоять неподвижно
Solar System — Солнечная система

other Solar System?
В. 1) Who was Copernicus?
2) Were all his ideas right? Which were wrong?
3) What new scientific discovery have you heard about?
4) Do you (does your friend, ...) want to be a scientist? In
what branch of science?
3. Say it in Russian
A. 1) Watching the stars at night made them think they moved
round the Earth. 2) Planets discovered by old Greeks in the
sky were given different names. 3) He saw the Moon moving
up and up in the dark sky.
241
В. 1) Writing down his new ideas seemed dangerous to Copernicus.
2) The stars and the planets seen in the dark sky were always
of great interest to men. 3) We saw the-sun rising slowly above
the sea.

YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS IN GREAT BRITAIN
I asked one of the visiting Englishmen to tell about youth
organizations in Britain.
He explained that since Britain was a capitalist country there
were numerous different youth organizations in the country. Some
249
were large and some small, some nation-wide and some local. Prob-
ably the largest were the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides Asso-
ciations and the YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) and
the YWCA (Young Women’s Christian Association), or simply “Y”
[wat] for short. The Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides were for
school-age teen-agers and the YMCA and the YWCA were for
school leavers, college students, and young people who had already
started working. Boy Scouts and Girl Guides had to do one good
deed every day, to develop themselves mentally and physically.
In summer they went camping in tents with everything done by
young people themselves. At the YMCA and the YWCA more
attention was paid to sport and different social events, such as
outings in the country, dances, debates, amateur activities, etc.
These organizations were founded in the nineteenth century.
Officially they were non-political but in reality they aimed at not
letting young people think about social and political problems in
their country, at bringing them up in the spirit of nationalism.
Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, for example/- promised to be true to
the king (queen) and had to salute the British flag at their meet-
ings.
II
The visiting Englishman added that different political parties
had their own youth organizations: the Labour Party had -the
organization of Young Socialists, the Conservative and Liberal
parties also had their own organizations for young people. All of
them were for the capitalist class policies1 of their parties.
He said that the most progressive youth organization in Great
Britain was the Young Communist League. It was an organization
of working-class youth based on Marxism-Leninism. It struggled
together with the Communist Party of Great Britain for a better
social order, for better living and working conditions, for peace
and friendship in the whole world.
The YCL was founded in 1922 and had ever since a growing
membership and influence1 2 upon young workers, students, teachers.
Its monthly magazine, the Challenge, was the only really progres-
sive British youth periodical aiming its readers at class struggle.
The man explained that the YCL was different from all other
youth organizations in Britain because, besides different social
events and amateur activities, it organized its members for a po-
litical struggle, for making young workers understand the necessity
of a change in the economic and social system if they wanted to
have their rights and peace in the whole world secured.3

19th century climbers had tried to conquer it and to stand on the
highest point of land in the world, until on the morning of May 29,
1953, it was conquered at last by Hillary, a New Zealander, and
Ten Zing, a Nepalese. In the last thousand feet, between 28,000
and 29,000, the amount of oxygen in the air is only about one-third
of the amount at sea-level. The latest expeditions have taken with
them artificial oxygen. This has helped them to reach the top,
though the weight of the apparatus slowed down the climb.

A PAIR OF RED SHOES
(Adapted from a story by N. Calma)
I
Nancy was a little Black girl who lived in a small town.
Nancy’s mother worked washing up plates and cups at a restaurant.
She had to work hard to earn enough for both of them.
One’ day Nancy discovered that her shoes were worn-out1 and
it was impossible to wear them any longer. She asked her mother
how she would go about in such shoes. Her mother comforted her
saying that she would buy her new shoes as soon as she had the
money. Nancy smiled and started asking Mother to buy her a pair
of red shoes, like those they had seen a girl in the park wear.
She was asking hard until the woman promised her daughter to
do it.
On Sunday they went up town1 2 where the main shoe shops were.
In the shop window there were shoes of all kind and colour. And
there, among all those wonderful shoes, was a pair of red shoes,
like those the girl -in the park had.
When they entered, Nancy’s mother asked one of the shop-
assistants if they could see the red shoes. Slowly the man came
up to them. He said that the shoes were expensive3 and asked
whether they had enough money.
“Yes, sir,” said Nancy’s, mother. “Here it is.” And she showed
the man all the coins she had.
II
Only after that did the shop-assistant give them the shoes.
They tried them on, but the shoes were too small for Nancy. So
her mother asked the shop-assistant whether they had another pair
of a larger size.
“We have,” came the answer. “Only you’ll have to take these
ones too.”
The woman did not understand him and asked him why they
had to take the shoes that were too small for the girl.
“Who, do you imagine, will buy shoes that have been tried on
by a Black girl?” explained the man angrily, and added, “You’ll
have to take them, that’s all.”
1 were worn-out — износились
2 up town —центр города
3 expensive [iks'pensiv] — дорогой (только о цене)
262
Now Nancy’s mother was quite at a loss. If she took these
shoes, she would not have enough money for another pair, and her
daughter would be left without any shoes at all. She started ask-
ing the man to allow them not to take the shose that were no good
for them, but the shop-assistant did not want to listen, for, as he
said, nobody would take shoes after a Black girl.
“You are wrong, my man. I shall take them,” they heard some-
one say.
.Turning round, the woman saw a white man in simple clothes,
who smiled kindly at them and added, “A worker knows but too
well where money comes from and how much it takes to earn it.
These shoes are just the size for my daughter.” And paying the
money, the worker took the shoes and left the shop before the
woman could thank him.

The USA
The United States of America is another large English-speaking
country. It occupies a large part of the North American continent.
On the East it is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and
on the West —by the Pacific Ocean [po'sifik 'oujan]. The United
States is a bourgeois ['buagwa] republic. It consists of fifty dif-
ferent states under one federal government. That is why the country
is called the United States.
The territory of the United States of America is 9,363,400
square kilometres. The population of the United States of America
in 1977 was 216 million people.
At first the USA consisted of only 13 states on the Atlantic
coast of America, that had been previously British colonies. The
colonies proclaimed independence in 1776. Then they fought against
England, and in 1783 became a truly independent country. As
time went on new states were organized on the territory to the
West, and the country became larger. Much land was seized by
the white people from the Indians. Some of the territories were
bought from France in 1803, others were taken away from Mexico
later on.

V. I. LENIN AND ENGLAND
। V. I. Lenin and N. K. Krupskaya first came to London in 1902
1 to organize the publication of the workers’ revolutionary newspaper
Iskra. They stayed there for a year, but were again in London in
1903 where the 2nd Party Congress had to be transferred1 from
Brussels ['brAslz], when the police learnt about it and made its
work there impossible. In April, 1905, Lenin again came to Lon-
don for the 3rd Party Congress. Lenin’s last stay in London was
in April and May, 1908, when he came there to work at the
British Museum Library gathering material and doing research work
for his book Materialism and Empiriocriticism.
In her work on Lenin N. K. Krupskaya mentions that during
their first visit to London in 1902 V. I. Lenin and she thought
that they knew English well, because they had translated a book
on political e'conomy from English into Russian when .they were
in Siberia .[sai'biarra]. How surprised they were when they found
that they could not understand a word of English and nobody
could understand them. This made them begin studying English
again. They went to different meetings and to Hyde Park,1 2 where
they listened attentively to the speakers. V. I. Lenin found two
Englishmen who gave him lessons in English in return for his
lessons in Russian. Soon he could understand and speak English
and read all the books he needed.
1 had to be transferred [traens'ford] —должен был быть переведен
2 Hyde [haid] Park — Гайд-парк (Парк в Лондоне, где в Уголке ораторов
выступают представители разных политических направлений.)
270
When, in 1920, the famous English writer H. G. Wells visited
Soviet Russia and was received by V. I. Lenin at the Kremlin,
they spoke in English, and later on H. G. Wells wrote that Lenin
spoke very good English.
In April — May, 1920, V. I. Lenin wrote a book, Left-Wing
Communism,1 in which he analysed different problems and among
them the activity of the young British Communist Party and point-
ed out its mistakes. This l ook was of great help not only to the
British Communist Party but to all the newly organized commu-
nist parties of the world.
So we may say that V. I. Lenin not only visited England, but I
knew the English language as well as the life and the struggle of \
the working class in Great Britain. , ‘

R. Palme Dutt on V. I. Lenin
Like Marx before him, Lenin paid special attention to the prob-
lems of Britain and the British, labour movement. Lenin under-
stood very well the reasons why the classic country of capitalism,
Britain, once the leading world industrial power, should have fall-
en behind in the race with newer capitalist powers like the Unit-
ed States and Germany. He understood equally why the British
working class, which had once led the way as the pioneer of the
international working-class movement with the epic struggles of
Chartism and the foundations of the trade-unions, should have
later lagged behind and remained under the yoke of landlordism
and 'capitalism, while younger working-class movements, arriving
later in the field, had already advanced to the victory of socialism.

ain and on the British Revolution.

PRISONER’S DOG
(Adapted from a story by Albert Maltz)
Last year, in London, I was asked to have tea with some
friends —Hugh Stuart ['hju: 'stjuat] and his wife, Libby. It was
there that I met a man named 'Edmund ’Donat, 'Polish by birth.
He looked about 55, and I was surprised to learn later that he
was ten years younger. Libby told us that he had been a prisoner1
in a concentration camp.
Now, Libby liked dogs and thought very highly of them, while
her husband did not.
“Dogs can be taught certain things, my dear,” Hugh said, “but
they don’t reason, and so cannot be intelligent.”2
“I believe,” said Donat, “there is a great difference in the in-
telligence of dogs, just as there is in men. There surely are some
dogs that are able of intelligent reasoning.8 I once saw a dog
that reasoned about what was best to do.” Donat stopped; but
when Libby asked him to tell all about it, he continued.
“There was a house on the farm where we usually spent our
holidays. I was a good friend of the two sons of the farmer. One
of them, Antek ['aentak], was a year older than I, almost 18.
They had a dog, whose name was Pani ['pani]. Pani loved every-
one in the family, but above all she was Antek’s dog. Between
Pani and Antek there was real understanding.
“In December, 1939, when the Germans had Poland4 under
their control, they ordered that every thoroughbred8 dog was to
be turned over to them. All other dogs were to be killed.”
“Why killed?” Libby asked.
“Why not?” Donat answered with a smile. “They needed cer-
tain dogs for guard duty;6 all others were useless to them. In
1 a prisoner ['pnzna] —заключенный
2 intelligent [m'tehdsant] —разумный
3 to be able of intelligent reasoning—быть в состоянии разумно мыслить
4 Poland ['poulandj — Польша
6 thoroughbred ['SArsbred] — чистокровный, породистый
6 for guard duty—для охраны
280
fact, they looked upon people more or less the same way. Well,
when Antek heard of it, he hid Pani in the barn.1 He did more
than just hide her —he built a hiding-place under the floor that
would have been hard to find.
“About a week later, an army truck with SS men came to the
farm. They asked for dogs, 'but were told that there were none.
Then the corporal walked up to Antek and put a pistol to his
face. ‘I’ll count ten. If you don’t say where the dog is in that
time, I’ll kill you, and don’t think that I shall not.’ Before he
began to count, the mother shouted, ‘The dog’s in the barn!’ So
the father was sent to bring Pani.
“Soon Pani came. She was a beautiful big dog, though not thor-
oughbred.' There was so much intelligence in her brown eyes that
the Germans were impressed with her. Antek, of course, never
stopped asking the corporal to show Pani to his officer. He said
that she would learn whatever they wanted quicker than any other
dog. At last, that was how the corporal decided it, and Pani was
taken away.
“Eight months later we met Pani again. Antek and I went to
the partisans, and one night were arrested. We were kept a month
in Warsaw,1 2 and then sent to the concentration camp of Auschwitz.3
The work we had was to build a road from a new airfield. The
work was hard from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week, and
the food was very bad.
“One morning, in August, Antek suddenly saw Pani with an-
other work group. Late that evening he told me, ‘Pani’s here, and
she doesn’t remember me!’
“But first you must understand something about the way we
worked there; every group had about 40 men and was guarded by
two SS men and three dogs. If a man came nearer than three-four
metres of the line, the dog on that side would be on its feet with
a snarl4 * that would make the bravest afraid. At two metres the
dog would jump at the man.
“That morning Antek saw Pani not far from him. He was
afraid to call to her. What surprised him then was to see Pani
suddenly turn her head and look at him. He said she looked at
him attentively for about 30 seconds, without showing in any way
that she knew him. Then her guard moved away with her. Yet,
as Antek said, Pani was a dog, not a man, and if she had not
forgotten him, it was impossible that she wouldn’t react6 to him.
“About a week later, our group had a change of guards. With
one of the new SS came Pani. By the second day I saw that there
was something strange in her: each time Antek’s work brought him
1 a barn [ban]—сарай
* Warsaw ['woiso:] — Варшава
# Auschwitz ['aujwits]—Освенцим
4 a snarl — рычание
8 to re'act — реагировать
281
anywhere near her, I had the feeling that she was quietly watch-
ing him.”
Hugh said, “Are you telling us that she knew Antek, but was
not showing it? That’s hard to believe.”
“Antek noticed the same thing, and neither of us knew what
to believe. Well, after a week of this, Antek said to me one morn-
ing, ‘I’m sure Pani does know me. I’m going to find out.’ That
day, as Antek did his work, he moved nearer to her and kept
saying her name in a low voice. When he reached the line, Pani
jumped up. And then something strange happened, she didn’t snarl
at him or get ready to jump, but looked over at the guard who
was her guard —and then she turned back to Antek and watched
him. When Antek moved away, she lay down again.”
“So you are telling us she knew him, but was hiding it,” Hugh
said, but Donat continued.
“That night Antek told us that not only was he sure that Pani
knew him, but he was sure that Pani knew she was a prisoner of
the Germans, just like him. ‘I’m made to build
a road for them,’ he told me, ‘and she’s a pris-
oner made to do guard duty. And we both
know that we’re prisoners.’ Then he added,
‘Pani and I are going to run away.’
“One of the coming days a man in our group fell ill. He was
\ carried to the truck. When the guard’s eyes were on the truck,
Antek suddenly ran to the field bf sunflowers. When he was about
two metres to Pani, I heard him shout, ‘Pani, cornel’ Pani jumped
up with a terrible snarl. In the next second I thought she would
jump at Antek. And then, as if something had suddenly pulled
her back, she stopped where she was.
“Antek disappeared into the thick1 forest of plants. The guard
behind started shooting. Two large dogs ran into the field —and
then one of the two guards also ran into the field carrying a gun.
“For a few seconds Pani stood where she was without moving.
In the next moment Pani let out a howl2 that made me think
she had been wounded.3 And in the very next second she disap-
peared into the sunflowers. Was she running away with
Antek, or was she running to tear him to pieces? I did
SsgKj not know-
“The field of sunflowers was probably 600 metres deep.
It ran down away from us so that I could see on the
other side some farm buildings. Behind was a mountain.
Antek surely would try to go there, I thought. Then,
suddenly, from the field, there was the most terrible howling of
dogs. They’ve caught him, I thought. The howling went on, and
then there were shots. Suddenly, there was quiet, like the quiet
1 thick—зд. густой
2 a howl [haul] — вой; to howl — выть
? to wound [wu:nd] — ранить
282
of death. And then I saw Antek running near the farm buildings.
Everyone saw him, but the SS man couldn’t do anything because
his gun had no effect at that distance. Antek ran behind a barn,
and when we next saw him he was moving up the mountain to
the trees.”
After a moment’s silence Libby asked, “And Pani? Was she
with Antek?”
“No. Just then out of the field came the SS man. His left arm
was wounded and his clothes torn. By his side came one of the
dogs, also wounded. I didn’t know German, but there were others
who did. They said that Pani had gone mad,1 killed one of the
dogs, wounded another, and then, when the SS man came, she at-
tacked him too. He had shot her.”
There was silence in the room. Then Hugh said quietly, “Do
you know what happened to Antek?”
“Yes, I do. He made his way to a group of partisans. He is
a farmer again. Sometimes I get letters from him.”

OCR FAMILY
(Adapted from a story by Charles E Eckersley)
At a family gathering it was decided that our flat needed a fresh
coat of paint.1
Grandfather said that he was always painting his rooms him-
self and could manage to do it that time also, but for his rheuma-
tism. Everybody expected me to be sitting and reading for my les-
sons, since I worked and had night-school studies, while Brother
and Sister were too small to do the job. So it was left for Father
to do it.
As Father was going up, the ladder1 2 started moving and he
almost fell. Mother was upset and shouted that we must not let
Father fall because paint left terrible spots on the floor; and my
younger brother, Tim, was ordered to hold the ladder.
When Father was finally up, balancing on the ladder with the
paint in his hand, he asked Tim to pass the brush. So Tim let go
of the ladder and took the brush; but just at that moment the
ladder started moving again. Tim explained that he could not be
expected to do two things at a time. Mother shouted to Father
that he should not be silly and should be more careful, while
Grandfather explained that he knew a man who had broken his
back falling from a ladder and who never left his bed ever since.
At last Father managed to find balance and start painting.
Then Grandmother said that the colour was terrible, that green
made her feel quite ill. Mother agreed with her and told Tim to
go to the kitchen and bring Grandma a nice cup of tea to quieten
her nerves.3 So Tim let go of the ladder again and went into the
kitchen. Father shouted that nobody was holding the ladder and
it was- dangerous. Mother got angry with Father for making noise
about Tim going to get tea for poor Grandmother.
Then Aunt Julie said that Father’s brush was dripping,4 and
Sister added that it was very difficult to clean paint marks off
the floor. Mother told Father to be more careful, while Grandma
added that Grandpa had always managed to paint without a spot
to clean.
Father said that all he needed was someone to hold the ladder,
to what Grandma remarked that Father expected a lot of people
to be standing round the ladder helping, while Grandpa added that
it was all a matter of knowing how to do the job properly. But
just at that time the ladder started moving more energetically than
ever before. Father let the paint go, and it fell all over Grandpa.
Mother got angry with Father for being silly about nothing and
1 a coat of paint —слой краски, покраска
8 a ladder f'laeda]—лестница (приставная)
* to quieten ['kwaiatn] her nerves—чтобы успокоить ее нервы
4 the brush was dripping —с кисти капало
290
for falling off the ladder, while Grandma was upset that the paint
on Grandpa’s head was green.
So the question of a new coat of paint for our flat was left
off until the time when Father got well and strong enough to do
the job.

weights and measures based on the metre and kilogram.
The metre, the unit of length, is the distance at 0°C (zero
Centigrade) between two lines on the bar of platinum and iridium,
which is kept at Sevres [seivr] in France. The composition of the
alloy is 90% (per cent) platinum and 10% iridium. This distance
varies as the bar becomes hotter or colder, so the temperature of
0°C is specified. The metre rule is divided up into a hundred
centimetres and each centimetre into 10 millimetres.

Read the text. Try to understand it without word for word translation.
Then do Exercises 1, 2 and 3. When reading, find answers to the following
before-questions.
1) What are the scientists studying today?
2) What is there surprising about the ability of birds to navigate
by the sun and the stars?
3) What are the questions that science must still answer?
THE MYSTERY OF THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCKS
Why do plants flower in spring? How do birds know it is time
to fly South? Why do you feel more active at certain periods of
the day? Scientists are beginning
to discover the mystery of nature’s
built-in timepieces.1
All living beings are able to
tell time. How—it has been a
mystery for a long time. Today
scientists are studying the relation
between the Earth’s 24-hour day-
and-night cycle, the length of the
day and night and the mecha-
nisms, often called biological clocks.
Still more surprising is the
ability of birds and animals to
navigate by the sun and the stars. Such navigation needs not only
a feeling of direction, but a feeling of time because the sun and
the stars are in different positions in the sky at different times
of the day. A bird, navigating by the sun, must “know” the dif-
1 nature’s built-in timepieces—заложенная в организме природой способ-
ность узнавать время
300
Terence between a 10-o’clock-in-the-
morning sun and a 2-o’clock-in-the-
afternoon sun if it is to fly correctly.
We know very well that birds can
do this, but how they do it is still
a mystery.
Science has. learnt much. Yet
there are many, impojtant questions
still to be answered. For example: where is the biological clock
mechanism situated in plants and animals, and how does it work?
Do the clocks work by physical or chemical means? Is it in every
living cell1 or is It centred in some part of the body?
Further knowledge of biological clocks and what makes them
go will help to a better understanding of the main processes of life.

The Electronic Computer
With the development of science and technique man began to
understand that his senses, such as nature had provided him with,
were too poor to serve his purposes. He had invented new ma-
chines—the computers — that could think and calculate instead of
him at a much quicker rate.
The development during the past years of fully automatic high-
speed computing machines —the so-called ‘electronic brains’ — is
having a great effect upon computational methods in scientific
work. The speed at which the calculations can be done has been
greatly increased. - Recently new and much more highly perfected
machines have been built in which transistors are used instead of
ordinary electronic valves. These machines are much faster than
the previous ones.

3) What were Marx* favourite writers and poets?
4) Did Marx study Russian? Did he know it?
ON KARL MARX
(Adapted from the book by Paul Lafargue)
Marx didn’t like his books to be taken by anybody for he
always wanted them to be where he had put them. In fact, every-
thing was in its exact place, and without searching he could put
his hand on any book he wanted. Books were intellectual tools
309
for him. He often said that they were his slaves 1 and he wanted
them to serve his will.
Everybody knew Marx to be able to read in all the main Euro-
pean languages and to be able to write in three — German, French
and English. He liked to say, “A foreign language is a weapon in
the struggle of life.”
He knew poems by Heine ['haini] and Goethe ['go: to] by heart
and there was a great love for Shakespeare in his family. Dante
j'daenti] and Burns were his favourite poets, and it was always a
great pleasure for him to hear his daughters read Burns’ satirical
poems or sing Burns’ love songs.
Marx was already fifty when he began to learn Russian and he
made such good progress in six months as to be able to' read Push-
kin, Gogol and Shchedrin in the original.

River Pollution
Since the middle of the nineteenth century, when the dire con-
sequences of the pollution of rivers were forced upon public by
outbreaks of cholera, there has been a continual development in
our knowledge of the effects of pollution and the means by which
it may be prevented or controlled.
Because of the unique solvent qualities of water the number of
constituents for which analyses are required is large. Specialists
working in pollution problems or water analysis have been constant-
ly studying these problems.
The problem has become especially acute in the second half of
the twentieth century when in the USA water in a number of lakes
and rivers proved to be already undrinkable.

A DAY’S WAIT
(Adapted from a story by E. Hemingway)
When I came downstairs, I noticed that the boy was dressed,
sitting by the fire, looking very ill with dark circles round his
eyes. I saw at once that he had fallen ill and was running a tem-
perature. I sent him to bed and
called in the doctor.
The doctor examined the boy
and took his temperature.
“What is it?” I asked.
“One hundred and two.”1
The doctor left; and wishing
to comfort the boy, I read aloud
from The Book of Pirates, but
noticed that he was not following.
In some minutes the little one
л said, “You don’t have to stay in
here with me, Papa, if it’s hard for you.” I thought he was a
little light-headed,2 and, giving him medicine, I went out for a walk.
Upon returning I went straight upstairs and took his tempera-
ture.
“What is it”? he said rising in bed.
“Something like a hundred.” It was one hundred and two and
four-tenths.
“It was a hundred and two,” he pointed out. Then, suddenly, he
asked, “About what time do you think I shall die?”
“What?” I shouted, for the question came quite unexpectedly.
“About how long will it be before I die?”
“You aren’t going to die. What’s the matter with
you?”
“Oh, yes, I am. I heard the doctor say a hundred
and two.”
“People don’t die with a temperature of a hundred
and two degrees,” I explained. “That is a silly way
to talk.”
“I know they do,” he went on. “I’ve read in a
book that you can’t live with forty-four degrees. I’ve
got a hundred and two.”
1 В Англии и США температура измеряется по Фарен-
гейту, а не по Цельсию, как в СССР. По Фаренгейту точка
замерзания — 32°(0°С), а точка кипения воды +212° (100°С).
8 light-headed —в состоянии бреда
318
So that’s what it was: the boy had been expecting to die all
day, ever since nine o’clock in the morning, and it took all his
will not to break down.
“You poor boy,” I said. “Poor old boy! It’s like miles and
kilometres. That’s a different thermometer. On that thermometer
thirty-seven is normal. On this kind it’s ninety-eight.”
“Are you sure?” he said with doubt in his voice.
“Absolutely! It’s like miles and kilometres. You know, like
how many kilometres we make driving our car when we do seventy
miles an hour.”
“Oh!” he exclaimed. But his look changed, and the next day
he cried very easily at little things that were of no importance.

MICHAEL FARADAY
Michael Faraday ('maikl 'faerodei] (1791 — 1867), the great Eng-
lish experimental physicist, was born in the family of a black-
smith. i 2 3 He spent his early life earning his living by doing differ-
ent kind of work at a bookbinder’s* shop. Taking time from his
work, Faraday managed to read some of the books passing through
his hands and became greatly interested in science. He even made
such of the simpler experiments as his money made it possible for

the young man had an independent way of thinking, Davy became
so interested in him that he took Faraday to work for him. In
1814—1815 travelling with Davy on the continent, Faraday saw
and heard many of the famous continental scientists. He was en-
couraged by Davy to begin his own independent research, and in
1816 he published his first paper. In 1817 Michael Faraday pub-
lished six more, in 1818 —eleven, and in 1819 —nineteen papers.
This great result in scientific research was achieved by Faraday
without a university training. He was almost self-taught.
About 1820 Faraday began his researches in electricity which
resulted in the famous discovery of the motion of a wire carrying
a current in the field of a magnet. Faraday thought that if a
current-carrying wire moved in a magnetic field, could not the
opposite be true and wasn’t it possible to make a magnet produce
current in a wire. One day, experimenting with magnets and coils
of wire, Faraday put, by chance, a magnet down into a coil and
noticed that a current was generating in the coil. Why had he not
discovered this before? The motion was the thing that Faraday
didn’t understand at first. For this discovery, which opened to
Mankind the door to the Age of Electricity, the whole scientific
world paid him due tribute.1

The Electric Bell
If you press the button of an electric bell, an electric current
is sent along the wire from a battery to the contact point. From
here the current goes through the iron bar attached to the striker,
1 a root—зд. корень слова
332
through the spring and along a wire to two electromagnets. From
the electromagnets it returns to the button and the battery.
When the current passes through the electromagnets, they pull '
the iron bar towards them, the spring bends and the striker strikes
the gong. But at the same time the iron bar comes away from the
contact point and this stops the current. The electromagnets become
non-magnetic and release the iron bar, which is immediately pulled
back by the spring.
When the iron bar touches the contact point, the whole process
is repeated. It takes only a fraction of a second and is repeated
many times, as long as you continue pressing the button.
20. What do you think of the following? You may give your answers in Russian.

LONDON
[1] Here are some words about the capital of England’s past.
In 55 В. C.1 the 'Romans under Julius Caesar ['djuiljas 'sirza]
came to the British Isles [adz] and found there on the bank of
the river Thames a village named Llyn-din.
» В. C. (Before Christ)—до нашей эры
335
The people who lived on
the island were called 'Britons.
The Briton? ,were not strong
enough to fight against the
Romans at that time, yet they
managed to drive them away.
About a century later the Ro-
mans returned and occupied
'Britain for quite a longtime.
The Romans started calling
Llyn-din in their own way —
Lon'dinium. The greater part
of goods that were sent to
Rome from Britain went
through Lon'dinium. Because
of its convenient position for
navigation and defence,1 Lon-
dinium became a rich city
and the main trade centre of
the country. The City, the
business centre of modern
'London, is situated in the
very spot where Londinium
had been.
Nowadays nothing is left
of what Belonged to the Ro-
man times except for a few
parts of the old wall that
had run round Londinium.
The Romans stayed in
Britain for four hundred years.
After they left it in the fifth
century, other people came
from the continent. They were
the 'Angles and the 'Saxons.
The Angles and the Saxons
managed to occupy that part
of the island which was the
nearest to the continent and
drove the Britons away to the
north and to the west of the
island. In time people started
calling the southern part of
the island England that means
the land of the Angles.
1 defence—охрана, защита
336
A
[2] In 1066, the 'Nor-
mans came from the north
of France. They were met
near Hastings ['heistigz] by
the Anglo-Saxons who
fought courageously against
the newcomers, but lost.
The country was occupied
by the Normans; and the
life of the English people
became rather hard, since
now everything belonged to
the Normans, who even
tried to make the English
I
speak French.
To guard themselves, since they were afraid of the Anglo-
Saxons, the Norman kings built a large fortress1 on the banks of the
Thames — the Tower [Чаиэ]. Now it is a museum. If you go to
London, you will see the famous Tower of London, which is by
now almost nine hundred years old.
As time went on London developed into an important industrial
and trading centre and one of the largest cities of the world. Today
one of the most famous buildings in London is the Houses of Par-
liament. It is an impressive building with two tall towers, one of
which is a clock tower with a clock called Big Ben. Big Ben is
the main clock of Great Britain.

I
[3] Among the squares the best known ones are Trafalgar
Square and ^icca'dilly Circus. With its tall column to Admiral
Nelson rising high above it, the spacious Trafalgar Square has
become the place where meetings of the British workers, the fighters
for peace are held, while the busiest square in London is the
,Picca'dilly Circus with the statue of 'Eros, the god of love, in
the middle. It is interesting to note that the statue of 'Eros was
made of aluminium when aluminium was thought to be a rare
metal. It is so light that it can easily be lifted by two or three
men.
There are many interesting places in England and in London, -
its capital, but it is impossible to speak about them all. I hope
that some day you will read more about them or maybe even
enjoy seeing them yourselves.

17. With the help of the picture in Exercise 16 try to translate the following
text. Use the dictionary when you cannot understand a whole sentence-
internal Combustion Engine
The internal combustion engine, like a steam-engine, has a
piston, a connecting rod and a crankshaft. Its cylinder contains in
its head a sparking-plug and the inlet and exhaust valves. The
carburettor is attached to the inlet pipe.
Lubricating oil is carried in the base of the engine. There is
a water-jacket round the cylinder and its head which keeps them
at reasonable temperature. The problem is to convert the power of
the gas in the inlet pipe into power which can drive a car.
The gas flow through the engine from the carburettor to the
exhaust pipe is accomplished through the four-stroke cycle of opera-
tions, so called because the piston makes four movements — two
down and two up before all the work of the charge is completed.
The four-stroke cycle consists of the following four phases or
operations, which succeed one another in the order in which they
are given:
1) admission of the charge to the cylinder; 2) compression of the
charge; 3) combustion of the charge, which includes its ignition
and expansion; 4) expulsion of the products of combustion.
18. What do you think of the following? You may give your answers in

Sam Pickens grew up on a plantation in South Carolina [.каегэ-

self in Chicago working half a day in a restaurant and putting all
his free time into a public school education.1 2

Sam liked geography and history. Yet, it was in his drawing
classes, however, that Sam made his greatest successes. He had
never been in a drawing class. Before he reached Chicago, he did
not know what drawing was.
Drawing classes in Chicago were something new to Sam. The
teacher of drawing was a specialist who taught only this subject.
She was a white woman named Frances Ralston ['fransis 'ro:lstan] —
tall, dark, with brown eyes and wavy hair. Sam liked her from the
first lesson, when he watched her set a red rose on a piece of
white paper as a model for class work.
Sam finished his rose. Then, putting an extra piece of paper
over the drawing, he began to make lines. He looked about the
room. Between him and the north window sat a Negro girl, her
head and shoulders silhouetted against the sky. Immediately Sam’s
pencil was working. He did not see Miss Ralston cross the room;
did not feel her standing there till he woke to find the whole class
looking and laughing.
“Where is your rose?” Miss Ralston asked.
Sam uncovered the drawing and silently showed it to her.
“You did this in so short a time?” she questioned.
“Yes, ma’am,” said Sam.
“But this!” Miss Ralston held up the silhouetted figure at arm’s
length, examining it. “Where did you learn to draw?”
“I’ve never learned,” Sam answered. He was not sure that Miss
Ralston was not making fun of him.
“See me after class,” was all she said.
After class Miss Ralston talked to Sam, asking him -where he
had come from, what he was doing, and if he would like to take
up some special work in drawing. She was friendly and very much
in earnest.
“I have a class at home,” she told him. “It meets Wednesdays
and Fridays at eight o’clock. Would you like to come?”
Sam hesitated. Seeing it, she added, “If it’s money, you needn’t
worry. It costs you only a dollar a month.”
Sam agreed gladly. Here was a chance to learn, and here was
a teacher who seemed to understand. On Wednesday evening Sam
hurried away when his work at the restaurant was over; found the
house; asked for Miss Ralston, and was given a place among the
young men and women who were bending over their work. Of this
group three besides Sam were Negroes.
Sam set to work at once. Strong lines quickly appeared on his
paper. Sam felt at home. Miss Ralston was very pleased with his
work.
By. the end of the winter Miss Ralston was giving Sam special
work ahd special attention. After each class she stayed for a few
minutes to go over some of the things that Sam had done at home
and brought in to show her. She examined them — praising, sug-
gesting.
344
“Sam,” she said one Friday evening late in May, “you’re doing
wonderful work. That Negro boy against the big wagon wheel and
the woman behind the machine—they live.”
She hesitated a moment.
“Let me take these two,” she went on. “When this class ends
next week, I am going East for a few days. I want to try some-
thing.”
Miss Ralston returned the drawings to Sam, upon her return.
She had shown them to some of her artist friends in the East,
who sent Sam words of praise.
After the second winter in the art classes Frances Ralston took
some of Sam’s pictures East on one of her trips. Sam’s hopes ran
high. Here was a chance to drop his dirty restaurant work and
make a name for himself.
“If we can place only one of these drawings into a well-known
magazine,” Miss Ralston told Sam, “it will give you a startv
Then you can throw yourself into the work with your whole hearf
and make a career that will be well worth the effort.”
“That’s it,” Sam agreed. “I must get a start.”
Frances Ralston went first to one art editor1 in one of the
well-known Philadelphia [Jila'delfja] publishing houses. The man
looked over Sam’s work.
“Genius!” he exclaimed. “Wonderful! Where did you find him?”
He got up, rubbed his hands excitedly; held up the drawings
one by one —near, at arm’s length.
“A discovery, Miss Ralston. I congratulate you!”
“There were more than two hundred young men and women in
my art classes this last winter,” she told the editor. “Among them
all, this boy is the best. If it were not for his colour.”
The editor turned on her.
“His what?”
“His colour,” Frances Ralston repeated. “He is a Black man.”
The art editor sat down very quietly in his chair. Then, one
by one, he took the drawings, laid them together, and pushed
them towards his visitor.
“But you don’t mean to say that his colour makes any difference!”
“Miss Ralston,” the art editor said slowly. “We serve a very
wide public North and South. We don’t even allow Black people
to ride in the front elevator1 2 here in this building,” he added.
“This boy does not want to ride in your elevators. He lives
a thousand miles away. Besides, if you don’t want to deal with
a Black man, you can do it through me. I am not afraid ...”
The art editor was a picture of civility.
“I quite understand how you feel, Miss Ralston,” he said. “But
1 an art editor —художественный редактор, редактор художественного
отдела
2 an elevator ['eliveito] —лифт
345
if it became known that one of our artists ... well, let’s not speak
about it any further. Are there any more of your pupils from
whom we might expect something?”
Frances Ralston stood up.
“As I told you, Sam Pickens is the one outstanding talent
among my pupils.”
“Come in again, Miss Ralston,” said the editor. “It’s always
a pleasure.”
But she was already in the passage.
“How did he dare,” she asked herself, “selling art to race preju-
dice!1 ... At least in New York ...” and she went over to New
York that afternoon.
She spent a week in New York among her friends —artists,
critics, editors, dealers. On the question of Sam’s work, the verdict
was short and final. Probably, they told her, he might get a
chance in some of the Black people papers. If Sam was willing to
work hard without pay for five or ten years, he might have a
chance to show New York what he could do.
Frances Ralston returned to Chicago heavy-hearted. She had
been so sure that talent would make a way for itself. She did not
tell Sam everything that she had learnt; but she said enough to
leave him no doubt. As a pastime he might use his pen and brush,
but no matter what his talent might be, his black face would close
for him the best art field in the United States of America.

THE COMPLEX OBJECT (СЛОЖНОЕ ДОПОЛНЕНИЕ)
Сложное дополнение состоит из прямого дополнения (существительною
или местоимения в объектном падеже) и неопределенной формы глагола (инфи-
нитива) или причастия настоящего времени.
I want her to dance. Я хочу, чтобы она станцевала.
I saw her dancing. Я видел, как она танцевала.
Не made те do it again. Он заставил меня сделать это еще раз.
В сложном дополнении употребляется неопределенная форма глагола для
выражения законченного действия и причастие настоящего времени для пере-
дачи действия в процессе его совершения.
После глаголов to feel, to hear, to see, to make и некоторых других
потребляется глагол без частицы to.
ПРИЧАСТИЕ
I. Причастие настоящего времени (The Present Participle) образуется путем
прибавления окончания -ing к неопределенной форме глагола (инфинитивх)
без частицы to.
Причастие настоящего времени может употребляться как прилагательное
или как наречие. Как прилагательное оно может быть определением: a smiling
woman. Как наречие причастие настоящего времени употребляется как обстоя-
тельство образа действия и соответствует русскому деепричастию: he spoke
standing; she came crying. В английском языке оно также широко употреб-
ляется как обстоятельство времени: Entering the room, she saw them watching
the TV.
Причастие настоящего времени употребляется также для образования
всех глагольных временных форм группы Continuous.
2. Причастие прошедшего времени (The Past Participle) образуется а) у стан-
дартных (правильных) глаголов так же, как и the Past Indefinite, —путем при-
бавления окончания -ed; б) у нестандартных (неправильных) глаголов — по-раз-
ному (см. третью колонку в таблице нестандартных глаголов на с. 360—361).
В предложении причастие прошедшего времени может быть определением:
an unwritten letter, a closed door, именной частью сказуемого: The door is
closed, а также обстоятельством времени: When asked, she kept silence, усло-
вия: This island, if explored, may be of great interest to science и т. д.
Причастие прошедшего времени, употребленное как определение, можсг
быть простым: a known fact и сложным: a well-known fact.
Причастие прошедшего времени употребляется при образовании всех гла-
гольных временных форм в Perfect и Passive: She has written a letter to her
mother. This book was written by our teacher.
THE GERUND (ГЕРУНДИЙ)
Герундий — часть речи, которой нет в русском языке. Герундий имеет
свойства как существительного, так и глагола. В предложении он играег ту же
роль, что и существительное.
354
Reading is useful. .(Здесь герундий является подлежащим.)
I don’t like reading such books.
J like his reading. (В этом и предыдущем предложениях герундий является
дополнением.)
After reading the letter, he went home. (Здесь герундий входит в состав
обстоятельства времени.)
Как глагол герундий имеет временные и залоговые формы.
Действительный залог Страдательный залог
Indefinite reading being read
Perfect having read having been read
Форма having read отличается от формы reading тем, что показывает на
действие, предшествовавшее действию обозначенному сказуемым, например:
She forgot of having read it.
После следующих глаголов нужно всегда употреблять герундий: to finish,
to go on, to be fond of, to keep, to stop, to be tired of.
После следующих глаголов можно употреблять как герундий, так и неопре-
деленную форму глагола (инфинитив): to begin, to start, to remember.
НАРЕЧИЕ
Наречия обычно образуются путем прибавления окончания -1у к прилага-
тельному, например: warm—warmly; beautiful— beautifully.
Некоторые наречия образованы от других корней, чем прилагательные,
например: good — well и др.
