Examination Card 1
I. Read the text and answer the questions following it.
Washington is an administrative city without much industry. It is considered to be one –industry

city and that industry is government. It was built specially to be the seat of the government and was
called Washington after the first President of the United States George Washington.
In 1971 George Washington chose the place for a capital city. He thought it was a good place
because the Potomac River was deep enough for ships to come to the city. Washington was first settled
in 1790. In 1800 it became the federal capital.
Washington is not a typical American city. It has no skyscrapers and nobody will build a house
higher than the Capitol, which is the building where the Congress meets. Like any other capital
Washington meets millions of tourists from different countries and all parts of the USA. They come to
see the Capitol and the White House, which is the official residence of the President, the Lincoln
Memorial and the Washington Monument, the Library of Congress and Kennedy Center and other
monuments to those who struggled to make an English colony a free country. The Library of Congress
is the largest library in the USA. It contains millions of books, manuscripts and personal papers of the
US presidents. There are five universities in Washington. Washington is not only the city where the
President lives and works. It is the city where you think about the glorious history of the USA.

Examination Card 3
Henry Ford (1863-1947) is an American industrialist, best known for his pioneering achievements in the
motor vehicle industry. Ford was born on a farm near Dearborn, Michigan, on July 30. He became a
machinist’s apprentice in Detroit at the age of 16. From 1888 to 1899 he was a mechanical engineer,
and later chief engineer , with the Edison Illuminating Company.
In 1893, after experimenting for several years in his leisure hours, he completed the construction of his
first car, and in 1903 he founded the Ford Motor Company. In 1913 Ford began using standardized
interchangeable parts and assembly—line techniques in his plant. Although Ford neither originated nor was
the first to employ such practices, integral to the factory system, he was chiefly responsible for their
general adoption and for the consequent great expansion of American industry.

There is no one who hasn’t heard of Walt Disney; he is one of the most famous figures in the twentieth
century and yet most people hardly know anything about him. Although he became one of the most
successful men in history, he left school at the age of sixteen and then studied art for a short time. By the
early years of this century, he had already started to produce cartoons in Hollywood in partnership with his
brother Roy, who, for some reason, never managed to become as famous as Walt. Disney is perhaps most
well known on account of his lovable cartoon character, Mickey Mouse, who first appeared in 1928 in a film
called Steamboat Willie. One of the most popular cartoon films of all time is Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs which was the first full-length cartoon in the history of the cinema. By the 1950s, Walt Disney had
become one of the world’s major producers of films for cinema and television. He also published books for
children.

Examination Card 6
On the first day of the New Year, people put on new clothes to symbolize the discarding of the old year and its
misfortunes. Then they give gifts to friends and relatives. These usually include special rice flour cakes and
fruits. Many adults, particularly married ones, also follow an ancient custom of giving small red packets of
money to children, unmarried adults, and employees or servants.
Among the most spectacular festivities of Chinese New Year are the dragon and lion dances. As many as 50 or
more people support long paper dragons and lions while dancing in processions down city streets. The dancers
perform to the beating of gongs and drums, while other celebrants perform acrobatic displays. Some of the
performers may occasionally reach up to take red money packets or fruits and vegetables hung from store-fronts.
The celebrations end with the lantern festival, an event in which merchants hang lighted paper lanterns outside
their shops. Many of the lanterns rotate with the heat of the candles they contain. Children often parade through
the streets during the lantern festival, carrying lanterns of various shapes and patterns.

According to legend tea has been known in China since about 2700 BC. For millennia it was a
medicinal beverage obtained by boiling fresh leaves in water, but around the 3rd century AD it
became a daily drink, and tea cultivation and processing began. The first published account of
methods of planting, processing and drinking came in 350 AD. Around 800 the first seeds were
brought to Japan, where cultivation became established by the 13th century. The Chinese from Amoy
brought tea cultivation to the island of Formosa (Taiwan) in 1810. Tea cultivation in Java began
under the Dutch , who brought seeds from Japan in 1826 and workers, and implements from China
in 1833.
In 1824 tea plants were discovered in the hills along the frontier between Burma and the Indian
state of Assam. The British introduced tea culture into India in 1836 and into Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in
1867. At first they used seeds from China, but later seeds from the Assam plant were used.

One of the most spectacular sights in the entire U.S. is the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River.
The Canyon is 217 miles long, and it is more than one mile deep. It varies in width from four to
eighteen miles.
The Canyon walls were cut by the Colorado River. You can see many plant and animal fossils in
these walls. Today plant and animal life in the Canyon is abundant and varied. The first Europeans to
see the Canyon were Spaniards. They were members of the expedition that came to the Canyon area in
1540. These first European visitors were guided by native Indians. Today, Indians occupy much of the
land around the Grand Canyon and live on reservations just east of the Park.
In the year 1919, President Wilson established the Grand Canyon National Park in order to protect
and preserve the Park’s land and wildlife. President Wilson said that the Grand Canyon was the one

Examination Card 9
My interest in Chinese food started many years ago, when I had my first job. The first time I ever ate
Chinese food I loved it. And since then, it just tastes better and better to me. The first thing I noticed was the
fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why it has
this unique feature. About 5000 years ago, China lost much of its wood because of over population and poor
management of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good
for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for
their valuable wood, or learn how to use it better. In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very
little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the
hot oil. That way the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this manner kept its
fresh flavor – and it’s this flavor that attracts people to the art of Chinese cooking.

No one really knows why we sleep. There are two theories, but a theory is only an idea or a guess –
scientists don’t know if these theories are correct or not.
One theory of sleep is called “Repair Theory.” This theory says that during the day we use many
important chemicals in our bodies and brains. We need sleep to make new chemicals and repair and fix
our bodies. One piece of evidence for this theory is that our bodies produce more of a growth hormone
(a chemical that helps us grow) while we sleep.
Another theory is called “Adaptive Theory.” This theory says that sleep evolved because it stopped
early humans and animals from wasting energy and putting themselves in danger from the other
animals that killed and ate them. In other words, sleep kept them safe and out of trouble. It was
necessary for their survival.

Everyone sleeps and dreams every night. Many times we don’t remember our dreams, but we still
dream. Like sleep, no one knows exactly why we dream or what dreams mean. There have been many
theories about dreams throughout history. Many cultures believe that dreams can predict the future –
that they can tell us what is going to happen to us. Sigmund Freud and other psychologists and
psychiatrists believe that dreams can tell us about our feelings and desires.
However, some scientists now believe that dreams mean nothing at all – dreams are caused by the
electrical activity in our brains while we sleep. These scientists say that dreams seem crazy and without
any meaning at all. There are still several other theories that emphasize other features of dreaming and
brain activity.

The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Even though the Panama
Canal is not very large, it is still considered to be one of the greatest engineering achievements. When it
was first built, it had a great influence on East-West trade. It brought the Orient and the West closer
together.
There had long been a lot of interest in the development of a canal in that region when the U.S.
began to build it. For many years the early Spaniards had unsuccessfully searched for a natural
waterway that joined the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. They needed a more efficient way to ship the
treasures of the Inca Empire and their other South American colonies back to Spain.
In 1882 a French company began construction of a canal in the Panama region. However,
mismanagement forced the French company to abandon the construction. The U.S. paid the
Panamanian government $10 million and bought the right to build and operate the Canal and govern the
strip of land that extends for five miles on either side of the Canal.

Meanings of words do not usually stay the same. As time passes, words often come to mean more or
less than they used to. For example, “bad” used to mean just “dirty.” Now it means “not good” in
general. “Meat” used to mean any kind of food: now it means a particular kind – food from the body of
an animal.
One thing that causes the meaning of words to change is borrowing from other languages. Very
often, when a foreign word came into English, people kept the old word that means the same thing, but
they changed the meaning of the old word. During the Middle Ages, this happened with many words,
such as “deer.” It used to mean “any kind of animal.” When the word “animal” came from French, the
old word “deer” stayed on in the language, but with a more special meaning. A “deer” is now one
certain kind of animal.
Another kind of change is when people completely change a word. For example, “loaf” was once
the word for “bread” in general; today it means “one large piece of bread.” On the other hand, the word
“bread” used to mean “a piece of something.” So, a long time ago, people asked the baker for a “bread”
of “loaf,” not a “loaf” of “bread.”

In recent years eating habits have changed because people are now more health-conscious than they
used to be. The fashion for healthy food is growing all the time. People are encouraged to eat less fat
and more fiber. High fiber foods and low fat foods can now be found in all shops and supermarkets.
Moreover, now we have an opportunity to eat healthy dishes from international cuisine. Dishes from
China, for instance, use very little oil and are much healthier than the usual way of frying. Another
example is spicy food from India, which clean out the body’s system and help fight illnesses.
People start to think about their food when they think that they are too fat. The most popular way to
lose weight and avoid gaining it is following a diet. Some people count the number of calories they eat
every day. This is called a calorie-controlled diet. On the one hand, it is good if you cut out snacks and
desserts. On the other hand, excessive dieting may be dangerous, because people cut out foods which
are necessary for their health.

People have many bad habits. One of them is smoking cigarettes. It is true people have smoked
cigarettes for a long time now. But people should know about the dangers of smoking.
Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as
the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and, therefore, affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in
the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate.
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. The U.S. Public Health Service stated that cigarette smoking is
the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases. The U.S. government now requires that
each package of cigarettes bears a special warning about the dangers of smoking.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and emigrated to New York City when she was ten years old.
One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the
middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters seeking admission to medical schools, she was
finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. So determined she was, that she taught school and gave music
lessons to earn money for her tuition.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. Unfortunately,
Elizabeth couldn’t realize her dream of becoming a surgeon. A serious eye infection forced her to abandon the
idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman.
By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another female doctor, managed to open a new
hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first female physician and founding her own
hospital, she also established the first medical school for women.

People choose to use mobile phones for communication because they are very convenient. First of all, they
are small enough to fit into our pockets so we can easily take it everywhere and always stay in touch. Besides,
they allow us not only to phone, but to send small messages, which is very cheap. What is more, if you have
one of the new multimedia mobiles, you can use the Net, play games, watch TV programmes and take photos.
However, some people are against mobile phones because they think that radiation from mobile leads to
cancer, which hasn’t been actually proved.
I believe it’s a good idea to have a mobile with you everywhere, even at school, because in case of
emergency we can contact our parents to let them know that we are OK or to ask for help. Besides, if we need

By the time the United States became an independent country, people had been living in America
for over a hundred years. They already spoke and wrote differently from people in Britain. Yet the only
books that told the “correct” way to write and spell things were written by British people. Noah
Webster, an American lawyer and teacher, thought Americans needed their own guides to the language.
So in 1783, 1784, and 1785 Webster published a grammar book, a reading book, and a spelling book.
The speller, like Webster’s other books, was based on the way Americans used English. It became the
basic textbook all over the country. In 1806 he published the first edition of this dictionary. It included
words that Americans used and British people didn’t. It was the first dictionary that described what
people actually said, instead of telling them what they ought to say.

Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English.
However, French almost became the official language because of a war. The French and Indian War
was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually
between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.
France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and
England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by
moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia.
When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington
to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington. The French, aided by the Indians,
outsmarted the English and won many early battles.
Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada,
General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France.
Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of
North America today has the English culture and language.

Examination Card 21
We are all sensitive to colour. There are some colours we like a lot and some we don’t like at
all. Some colours excite us, some make us happy or sad. Experts in colorgenics (the study of the
language of colour) believe that the colours we wear say a lot about us. They are sure that we
choose certain colours to wear in order to communicate our desires, emotions and needs.
Red indicates a high level of physical energy. People who wear red do everything at a high
speed. Brown is the colour of wealth and it shows a need for independence and material security.
Wearers of green have a love of nature and enjoy peaceful moments. The idea of associating colours
with emotions is not new. Colours have always been used to describe not only our feelings but also
our physical health.
The study of colour can help us to understand ourselves and to improve our lives. It offers an
alternative way to heal the body and spirit, and it can help us to understand what others are trying to
communicate.

Books can tell us a lot about the modern world and ancient times. Books teach us to be kind
and honest. While reading we learn how to solve our problems and make people happy. Finally, I
think that reading is the perfect way to spend free time and not to be bored.
There are a lot of different kinds of books in the world, for example, thrillers, historical
novels, science fiction, adventure books and others. Teenagers all over the world like reading about
adventures because they enjoy characters who go through dangers to complete their mission. Boys
are also fond of thrillers and detective stories because they have interesting story lines and unusual
endings. As for girls, they prefer romances, historical novels and poetry.

When cars first started appearing on the streets of the world, few people took them seriously. They
were toys – playthings for grown men who didn’t have much to do.
No one thought that the automobile would ever become the world’s most popular form of
transportation.
When Henry Ford started selling his Model T in 1908, he changed all that. Ford believed that a car
should be low-cost transportation that everyone could afford. So he decided to make such a car. First,
he wanted a dependable automobile that would not break down easily. Then he wanted a simple engine
that almost everyone could fix.
Ford wanted to sell the car for a low price, so he had to make it at a low cost. So, he made only one
model and he made it in only one color – black.

The White House, the official home of the United States president, was not built in time for George
Washington to live in it. It was begun in 1792 and was ready for its first inhabitants, President and
Mrs. Adams, who moved in on November 1, 1800. When the Adames moved in, the White House was
not yet complete, and the Adamses suffered many inconveniences: for example the main staircase was
incomplete, which hindered movement from floor to floor. Thomas Jefferson, the third president
improved the comfort of the White House in many respects and added new architectural features such
as the terraces on the east and west ends.
When the British forces burned the White House on August 24, 1814, President Madison was
forced to leave. All that remained after the fire was the exterior walls, the interior was completely
destroyed. It was not until December of 1817 that the following president, James Monroe, was able to
move into a rebuilt residence. Since then, the White House has continued to be modified but has been
continuously occupied by each succeeding U. S. president.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, coffee was introduced into one European country after another.
Coffee gained popularity as a beverage in the London coffee houses, which became centers of
political, social, literary, and eventually business influence. The first coffeehouse in London was
established about 1652. Until the close of the 17th century, the world’s limited supply of coffee was
obtained almost entirely from the province of Yemen in southern Arabia. But, with the increasing
popularity of the beverage, the propagation of the plant spread rapidly to Java and other islands of
the Indonesian archipelago in the 17th century and to the USA in the 18th century. Coffee cultivation
was started in the Hawaiian Islands in 1825. But the 20th century the greatest concentration of
production was centered in the Western Hemisphere - particularly Brazil.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, industrial roasting and grinding machines came into use,
vacuum-sealed containers were invented for ground roasts, and decaffeination methods for green
coffee beans were developed. After 1950 the production of instant coffee was perfected. The
popularity of instant coffee led to increased production of the cheaper Robusta beans in Africa.
