THE PILIGRIMS
The Pilgrims were puritans, that is to say, people of England who objected
to the form of religious feelings shown to God and religious services used in
the Church of England. King James punished all who refused to follow laws
and traditions of the Church of England and to give money to support it.
These people had to leave their country and went to Holland trying to find
religious freedom there. But they were not allowed to own land in Holland
and, besides, they did not want their children to grow up and become Dutchspeaking
people. They wanted to remain English; so, they soon returned to
England with the idea of leaving for America. There, where the lands were
still wild, they hoped to build homes for themselves and start a new life based
on their own ideals of religious an ... Читать дальше »

1. Прочтите текст "What Happened to the Dinosaurs" и выберите единственно правильный ответ.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DINOSAURS?
Science may never answer the most puzzling question. What killed these
mighty creatures?
One of the most popular theories about the death of the dinosaurs is that the
world just grew too cold for them. Indeed, for large, cold-blooded creatures,
even a few nights of cold could spell death.
Not everyone agrees that a change in weather would have been enough to kill
the dinosaurs.
The latest development in the debate amongst scientists about what killed the
prehistoric dinosaurs is the suggestion that acid rain was the cause. Some
geologists suggest that a large meteor hitting the earth at 65 kilometres per
second would have led to strongly acidic rain falling all over the world. These
geologists calculated that if an ice-rich meteor weigh ... Читать дальше »

HEALTH TIPS FOR TRAVELLERS
Travel is fun. Travel is exciting. But it's not fun or exciting if you get ill. You
may think, "Not me. I won't fall ill on my holiday!" But, for many people, that
is what happens.
Of course you do not want to spend your holiday ill in bed. If you have heart
trouble, you don't want to make it worse. So what can you do to stay in good
health? There are three things you should remember when you travel: relax,

A STORY ABOUT FORKS
In 1608 an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He
