CHOOSING AN OCCUPATION

One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do about a career. There are individuals, of course, who from the time they are six years old "know" that they want to be doctors, or pilots, or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.

Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or may find out that you will need to get some actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to counsel you and to give detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions. But even if you get other people involved in helping you make a decision, self-evaluation is an important pan of the decision-making process.

Its collection of French Impressionists is marvellous. There is the Victoria and Albert Museum in Brompton Road. It has an outstanding collection of the applied arts of all countries and periods.

The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square has one of the best picture collection in the world. It has the most valuable display of French paintings from the early of the Impressionists, and, of course, the finest English painting, with Gainsborough, Turner, Constable and others. It shows the progress of Italian painting from the medieval to the Renaissance, some outstanding pictures of the old Roman masters. It also has a great variety of Dutch and Flemish masters and an excellent choice of Spanish painters. There are great treasures dispersed in private collections all over the world.

2.  It promotes accurate, detailed depiction of nature or contemporary life. It rejects imaginative idealization in favour of close observation.

9.Control work (SPORT AND GAMES)

1. Read the text .

People all over the world are fond of sports and games. That is one of the things in which people of every nationality and class are united. All kinds of physical exercises are very useful to make our bodies strong enough to keep ourselves fit and healthy. The most popular outdoor winter sports are shooting, hunting, hockey, in the countries where the weather is frosty and there is much snow — skating, skiing and tobogganing. Some people greatly enjoy figure-skating and ski-jumping. It's so nice to go to the skating-rink or to the forest on a frosty sunny day!

Summer affords excellent opportunities for swimming, boating, yacht­ing, cycling, gliding and many other sports. Among outdoor games football takes the first place in public interest; this game is played in all countries of the world. The other games that have firmly established themselves in favour in different countries are golf, lawn-tennis, cricket, volley-ball, basket-ball, and so on. Badminton is also very popular.

All the year round many people indulge in boxing, wrestling, athletics, gymnastics and track and field events. Scores of young girls and women go in for callisthenics. Over the last few years aerobics has become popular with young girls. It helps them to be slim, healthy and strong. The founder of this kind of sport was a well-known American actress Jane Fonda. Being a great enthusiast of aerobics she has been trying to initiate many young women from all over the world into this sport.

Among indoor games the most popular are billiards, table-tennis, draughts and some others, but the great international game is chess, of course. The results of chess tournaments are studied and discussed by thousands of en­thusiasts in different countries.

So we may say that sport is one of the things that makes people kin. To cut the long story short, J should admit that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Physically inactive people get old earlier than those who have plenty of exercises. If you do daily exercises you feel refreshed, have a good posture, and that makes you feel good. I can add that good health is better than the best medicine. You have "A sound mind in a sound body," as the old Latin saying goes. The English proverb "Sickness in the body brings sickness to the mind" expresses a similar idea, but from a different point of view.

Fill in the missing words:

Travelling by air and by train

It is very interesting to travel. You can see other countries, continents; you get acquainted with other people, their traditions and customs. You can travel by car, by train, by air, by sea. If you like to see the nature, enjoy the process of travelling and have a route it will be easier if you travel by car. Travelling by train is usually chosen by people who have enough time to get from one place to another Travelling by air usually preferred by people who haven't got much, time and want to get to another city, country or continent as quickly as possible Nowadays there are a lot of businessmen who have to communicate with people from other countries. Every day they must sign a lot of contracts. Sometimes they have to sign several contracts within one day, for example in France and in Spain. And if there are no planes it will be impossible. Each of us has a lot of  relatives and friends. Some of them  live in other countries. For example you  live in Russia, Moscow and you  have some relatives in France or in Britain. You certainly can get to GB by train or by sea but it will take you a lot of time. It would be easier if you choose a plane.

Silly Like Fish?

When people are asked to name the cleverest species, they usually talk about dolphins, monkeys, dogs and horses. When it comes to fish, people don't give them much credit. Fish are con­sidered to have tiny brains, no memory and no ability for learn­ing. Fish pet owners, fishermen and some scientists don't agree with that at all.

According to them, fish are much smarter than most people think. Experiments and tests prove that fish are able to receive, analyze and remember information. They are able to learn! And some of them are even able to identify and remember symbols. In some tests, fish were put in a large tank of water. To get food the fish had to swim through the labyrinth. The corridors were marked with different symbols: blue square, red circles, and green triangles. The route that led to food was marked with tri­angles. The fish soon found out which route led to the award and headed there immediately. Then the labyrinth was changed, but the corridor which led to food was marked with the same green triangles. It's amazing - the fish recognized the symbols! They followed the green triangles and ignored squares and circles.

Fishermen can tell even more amazing stories about bright and resourceful fish. They say fish can be smart enough to avoid cleverly set nets, and to make a fool of a fisherman. Fish are bril­liant navigators and are able to find the place where they were born. They know how to return there to spawn. They can remem­ber deep and shallow places in their rivers, and stay in "safe pools" when the weather gets too hot and the river dries up. They can even leap from one safe pool to another, which means they remember the map of the riverbed.

3.       The experiment took place in one of the swimming- pools.
