           The Stone Age was a period of history which began in    approximately million B.C. and lasted until 3000 B.C.  Its name was   derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists     found.  This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and    Neolithic Ages.  During the first period, (2 million to 8000 B.C.) the         first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed.          As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into          the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, and develop new tools.

           During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C.) people made    crude pottery and the first fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and    developed a bow and arrow, which was used until the fourteenth    century A.D.

           The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind   domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than      in previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and creating       governments.

           The Spartans lived in that part of southern Greece called          Laconia.  Sometimes people called them Spartans and sometimes          Laconians.  Those people were very brave and their way of life was        very simple.  One of their rules was that they should always speak      very briefly (кратко) using no more words than were necessary.  To         this day we often call a short answer laconic; that is, such an answer        as a Laconian might give.

           There was in northern Greece a land called Macedonia, ruled    over by a king, Philip by name.  Philip wanted to become head of all Greece.  He had a great army and conquered state after state.  But    although his strength was so great, Laconia remained free.  When       Philip reached Laconia, he sent a letter to the brave Spartans saying,      “If I conquer your country, I will level your great city to the     ground.”  In a few days he saw the answer brought to him.   Upon     opening the letter he found only one word written in it.  That word     was “If”.

Children and Work

           England could be growing richer using the workforce of schoolchildren who are working too young.  Perhaps England has       about a million children workers.

           A national study that will be organised by specialist Chris         Pond, will find out if employers are making young people do difficult    work for a child’s wages.

           Mr. Pond says the aim of the study is not to stop children’s     work.  He thinks many young people enjoy working - and they        especially enjoy the pocket money they earn.  However, they may     also be paid less money.  They risk being in danger and they miss      school very often.

           Six weeks ago the Government started a campaign against        children missing classes, with a plan to punish parents who allow       their children not to go to school regularly.  Politicians were shocked        by a new report which showed as many a seven out of 10 children     who don’t got to school at least once a month.

           Through his study, Mr. Pond also hopes to find out what         children spend their money on. ‘I don’t expect to find that they are      working to help their families- although some might be.  Most are        likely to be spending money on compact discs and sporting clothes   for themselves,’ he said.

  1.  What becomes clear from this part of the text?

        In England

  A.  children who have a job earn a lot of money.

  B.   many children who are not old enough have jobs.

  C.   parents often force their children to take on jobs.

  2.   What will Chris Pond try to find out?

  A.  What kind of work children ususally do.

  B.   Whether working children are paid too little.

  C.   Why so many children have jobs.

  3. What does this part of the text make clear?

  A. Children should not be allowed to work for money.

  B.  Young people often know the disadvanges of jobs very well.

  C.  Working not only has positive but also negative sides for                   children.

  4. What sort of campaign did the Government start six weeks ago?

       A campaign against

  A.  children behaving badly to teachers.

  B.   children having all kinds of jobs.

  C.   children staying away from school a lot.

  5.   What does Mr. Pond want to find out?

  A.  How much money working children have to give to their parents.

  B.   On what things children spend the money they have earned.

  C.   With what kind of work children earn most.

Fred Savage

An interview with 16-year-old American film and TV actor Fred Savage, who starred in the TV series “The Wonder Years.”

  How did you start acting?

When I was six years old I did a Pac Man vitamins commercial.  I love doing commercials because it’s such a lot of fun.  A lot of my friends still do commercials on TV, and it’s just great because some day that money will pay their college course.

  Why did you want to become an actor?

I’ve never done this to be popular or to have fans or anything.  I’m doing this because I enjoy it.  I don’t do it for the job or because I need the money.

  Do you still go to school?

I have a teacher when I’m filming; he helps me with my schoolwork.  I should spend three hours a day on it, but a lot of the time I do only one or two hours.  I like science, but I hate English, because it is boring.
