Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived
through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and dying ten
years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation,
and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as a
printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the Pennsylvania
Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped him to rise from his
poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was shared in
his famous Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies.
In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life, he shows the
same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity and
lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the
conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including
the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and - because he was a pragmatic man - a
fire prevention service. In 1753 he became Postmaster-General of the colonies. Through this experience
he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a single nation. Later, he went
to London to try to persuade the British government to change the conditions, especially the taxes, that
later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states, he
worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George
Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last
contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the
creators of the United States.
1. What is a good description for this text?

TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Every nation and every country has its own customs and traditions. In Britain traditions play a more
important part in the life of the people than in other countries. Englishmen are proud of their traditions
and carefully keep them up.
It has been the law for about 300 years that all theaters are closed on Sundays. No letters are delivered,
only a few Sunday papers are published. To this day an English family prefers a house with a garden to a
flat in a modern house with a central heating. English people like gardens. Sometimes the garden in front
of the house is a little square covered with cement painted garden in inmitation of grass and box of
flowers.
Holidays are especially rich in old traditions and are different in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England.
Christmas is a great English national holiday, and in Scotland it is not kept, except by clerks in banks, all
shops and factories are working.

V. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards:
literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years
after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the
interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the
judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No
awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II Some people have won two
prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
1. When did the first award ceremony take place7
A. 1895 B . 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968
2. Why was the Nobel prize established?
A. To recognise worthwhile contributions to humanity.
B. To resolve political differences.
C. To honour the inventor of dynamite.
D. To spend money.
3. In which area have Americans received the most awards?
A. Literature B. Peace C. Economics D. Science
4. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Awards vary in monetary value.
B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel's invention.
C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.
D. A few individuals have won two awards.

Question VI: Read the following passage and answer the questions below.
A burn is an injury to the skin caused by exposure to fire, hot liquids or metals, chemicals,
electricity or the sun’s ultraviolet rays. When someone gets a burn , it’s necessary to provide first - aid
right away. First aid for burns involves removing the source of the burn as soon as possible. The burns
should be cooled immediately with cold water. A clean, cold wet towel or dressing can be placed on less
serious burns to ease pain and protect the burns from contaminating. If the burn is caused by chemicals,
it should be bathed continuously with running water for at least 20 minutes to reduce the substance. Any
powder should be carefully brushed off with gloved or protected hands before washing. Wet dressings
should never be used for burns. Instead, the first - aid provider should gently apply dry, sterile dressing
held in place by bandages and seek immediate medical attention.
* Question:
1. What can cause burns?
...............................................................................................................................................
2. When should the source of the burn be removed?
...............................................................................................................................................
3. Why should we place clean, cold wet towels on less serious burns?

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of
dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards:
literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years
after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the
interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the
judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No
awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II Some people have won two
prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

A. 1895 B . 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968

invention.
