A History of London
1. London is an extremely old city, it is more than twenty centuries old. When the Romans came to Britain in the first century of our era London was a small village. They built many roads and buildings and even now you can see the Roman Wall that the Romans built in the second century. Soon London became a Roman stronghold and а trading centre. Later it became the largest city of England.
2. In the middle ages, London was a very rich and independent city, even with its own army. Its citizens supported the king of England or not according to their own decision. When the king came from Westminster where he generally lived to the city of London the Lord Mayor of London met him at the gates and presented him with the keys of the city. This ceremony still takes place when the present monarch of Britain passes through the City on official business, for example opening of Parliament.
3. The City of London nowadays contains mostly financial institutions, business and newspaper offices, banks etc. The City of London became the heart of the business life of Great Britain and plays an important part in the financial and economic life of the world. Very few people live there, but a lot of men and women come every morning to their work places there. Most of them work for the financial sector of the British economy.

Lise Meitner
1. In 1938, an Austrian physicist named Lise Meitner announced the splitting of the atom in the laboratory. That announcement confirmed once again the beginning of the Atomic Age. At that time Lise Meitner was one of the few persons in the world who had a thorough understanding of atomic energy and the uses which could be made of this great power.
2. Lise Meitner, the daughter of a lawyer, was born in Vienna in 1878. She grew interested in science when she read of the Curies’s discovery of radium. The example of Marie Curie showed that a woman was able to achieve something in science. Lise Meitner became the first woman in the history of the University of Vienna who earned her doctorate in physics.
3. In 1906 she went to the University of Berlin to continue her studies by attending the theoretical lectures of Max Planck and by doing experimental work. There she began her research in the new field of radioactivity. She focused her attention on the behaviour of beta radiation from radioactive elements, experimenting with the primitive methods then available for measuring and analyzing radioactivity. Meitner's work in the 1920s and early 1930s emphasized the physical aspects of radioactivity.
4. In 1938 she left Germany for Sweden. Lise Meitner declined to work on the development of the atom bomb remaining in Sweden throughout the war. She was concerned with the properties of new radioactive isotopes, produced by the cyclotron. Her career was illustrious and productive (she published more than 135 scientific papers), but throughout her life she remained a shy person, with a deep interest in music. Her devotion to science had been total. She never married. In 1960 she moved to Cambridge, England, where she died in 1968.

Economic progress
1. Approximately half the Russia’s territory is economically well developed. The nearest task is to develop the other half in a planned manner, that is, the tundra in Siberia, the Far East. Much has already been done in these lands. But no matter what projects are to be built manpower is always the No. 1 problem.
2. Manpower has to be invited from the more developed areas. Can one induce the population from the industrialized zone move to the areas needing development? Apart from investments, our society is vitally interested in making migration, which is necessary for developing new territories.
3. Our economy needs methods capable of attracting investments in order to revitalise entire branches of our economy. Large sums are to be spent on attracting a worker to move and to settle at a new place of work where new production processes can be started. The securing of investments and manpower resources for the new development are the main tasks of today.
4. The need to launch projects in harsh conditions calls for special attention not only to the professional aspect, but also to the physical and moral qualities of the workers. This makes it necessary to place new criteria on the selection of people who want to come to new construction sites. They should be judged by their physical and intellectual abilities, the ability to perform definite functions, capability to adapt to the new conditions of life and work, their psychological features, etc.
5. These demands are fulfilled best of all when the workers are transferred to the projects in an organized way within production collectives, formed earlier and having work experience. ВАМ proved that such an approach is effective. The stability of such collectives has a favourable influence not only on the activities of the enterprises themselves, but on the entire system of regional manpower resources.

2. D.I. Mendelyeev was born in Tobolsk. At 16 he was taken by his mother to St. Petersburg to seek higher education. He entered the Pedagogical Institute where his father had also studied. In 1856 he took a degree in chemistry and in 1859 he was sent abroad for two years for further training. He returned to St. Petersburg in 1861 as Professor of Chemistry.
3. In 1868 Mendelyeev began to write a great textbook of chemistry, known in its English translation as the "Principles of Chemistry". In compiling this he tried to find some system of classifying the elements – some sixty in all then known – whose properties he was describing. This led him to formulate the Periodic Law, which earned him lasting international fame. He presented it verbally to the Russian Chemical Society in October 1868 and published it in February 1869.
4. In this paper he set out clearly his discovery that if the elements are arranged in order of their atomic weights, chemically related elements appear at regular intervals. The greatness of Mendelyeev's achievement lies in the fact that he had discovered a generalization that not only unified an enormous amount of existing information but pointed the way to further progress. Mendelyeev created the system of classifying chemical elements.

1. Powell was a prominent English scientist noted for his techniques and discoveries in particle physics. He was also deeply concerned with problems relating to the social responsibility of scientists. Powell was a leader in the World Federation of Scientific Workers in the mid-1950s and was a founder of the Pugwush Conferences on Science and World Affairs in 1957. As a public man and in his published articles Powell stressed the perils of destructive weapons and the need for international cooperation.
2. Powell was born in December 1903 in England. His parents were poor and they were determined to give their children a good education to increase their opportunities for a better life. In 1921 Powell won a scholarship of one of the colleges at Cambridge which he graduated in 1925 with first-class honours in science. He started his science career at the Cavendish laboratory headed by Ernest Rutherford. After gaining his scientific degree at Cambridge in 1928 Powell accepted a position at the new Physics laboratory in the University of Bristol. Powell spent the rest of his career there advancing to professor in 1948 and director of the laboratory in 1964.
3. In 1947 Powell Bristol group identified a new particle in the cosmic radiation. Powell and other two scientists discovered the π-meson and demonstrated that this subnuclear particle was produced directly in nuclear reactions and rapidly decayed in flight, producing the μ-meson. The discovery solved a complicated scientific problem and helped open a new era of particle physics.
4. Powell continued to develop and apply the photographic method of Bristol. His laboratory became the source of new experimental discoveries in meson physics and an international training centre for physicists of many countries. In 1950 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his development of the photographic method and his meson discoveries.

Number 7 - International Train
   It’s 8.15 in the morning and Manuela Garcia is on her way to college in New York City. She is sitting on the Number 7 train and doing her homework. Chinese women are sitting next to her, they are chatting in Chinese. An old woman gets on the train; she is wearing a sari and reading a book in Hindu. At Jackson Heights the old woman gets off. It’s raining outside and Manuela can see Indian and Pakistani shops in the street below.
   Welcome to the International Express, the most international train journey in the world. Every day some of New York’s three million immigrants take Number 7 train from Queens to Manhattan and each stop is like a different country. Get off at Flushing station and experience China, go to Corona and you’re in Mexico, the next stop is India at Jackson Heights. Many people are from Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa or Asia. If you listen carefully, you can hear more than 100 different languages.
   Why is this train so popular? A hundred years ago, most immigrants lived in Manhatten, but in 1910 Manhattan was overcrowded and life was very difficult. Then in1917, things improved, thanks to a new train to suburbs called Queens. Immigrants moved out of the city because there was more space in Queens, but they could still get to work in Manhatten.
   These first immigrants came to New York to escape from poverty and war, and to have a better life. Today, people come for the same reasons. Manuela Garcia’s family is typical. Her father, Tomas, came from Mexico in 1986 and sold tacos from a small food stall next to Corona station. Tomas got through hard times, saved his money and bought a bakery. Today the jukebox there plays Mexican songs and satellite TV shows Mexican TV programs. “We are proud of our culture, but the bakery is not just for Mexicans”, says Tomas. “We have Polish and Turkish customers, too. We all get on with each other.”
   The train speeds past LaGuardia airport as the rain stops and the sun comes out. Manuela looks out of the window and watches the planes take off. People are getting away to experience the world. Manuela smiles. She doesn’t need to go to faraway countries - the world is right there on the Number 7 train.

Going to Extremes
   John Hancock reports on the history of some of your favorite extreme sports.
   Whether it’s a jaw-dropping move on a skateboard or the raw speed of BMX there is no doubt that extreme sports have taken off in a big way over the last twenty-five years. Some need snow, some need wheels but they all share an element of danger, usually combined with acrobatic stunts.
   ESPN, the American TV sports network, organized the first Extreme Games (now the X Games) in 1995 and coined the phrase ‘extreme sports’. This is partly because they are often considered to be different from older, established sports. However, some older, more traditional sports, such as freestyle skiing, skydiving, surfing and water skiing, are also sometimes considered extreme sports.
   Extreme sports have also been characterized as ‘alternative sports’. Several of the sports that fall into this category have also been known as ‘outlaw sports’ because they were banned in many areas for being too dangerous. Also, many of the athletes have adopted alternative fashions and have seen themselves as outside the usual sporting world.
   Many extreme sports are in fact new versions of older sports, often made possible by technological changes or improvements in equipment. For example, BMX racing and mountain biking are both based on cycling. In-line skating is a form of roller-skating.
   For the most part, extreme sports originated as recreational activities for the individuals, but often in a group context. As they have become competitive, extreme sports have been at least partly absorbed into the mainstream, although snowboarding is still the only extreme sport to have become an Olympic event.
   One of the most spectacular extreme sports is BMX. There are two main forms, BMX racing, which takes place on a dirt track of about 300 to 400 meters with a series of jumps, and freestyle BMX, involving stunts and
tricks. The sport has come a long way since a group of kids first started organizing races at Palms Park, Santa Monica, California, back in 1969. Fans of motocross, but too young to ride motorbikes, they named their sport ‘pedal cross’. They couldn’t have known what they were starting. Races quickly got bigger and the sport became known as BMX, which stands for ‘bicycle motocross’. The first American national championship was held in 1974 and the first magazine devoted to the sport appeared the same year. It went from strength to strength throughout the eighties and nineties and today there are over 50 national BMX organizations round the world.
   Another popular extreme sport is in-line skating, with around 30 million skaters worldwide. In-line skates are generally assumed to be very new and modern, but actually all roller skates were in-line from the first known pair in 1716 until 1863. It was then that James Plimpton invented a skate with for wheels in a rectangular arrangement. In 1966, the original in-line skates returned, but it wasn’t until 1980 that two ice hockey-playing brothers, Scott and Brennan Olson of Minneapolis, realized that in-line skates could be used for training and practice when there was no ice. They started to make their own skates, selling them to friends, and eventually set up their own company, Rollerblade, to market them. They were so successful that in-line skates are often known simply as ‘Rollerblades’.
   As competitive sport, in-line skating is actually several sports. There are in-line versions of the traditional roller skating events: speed skating, artistic (figure) skating, and roller hockey. However, the best-known and most popular of the competitive sports is aggressive in-line skating, also known as ‘aggro’. Athletes would show off their skills for the people watching to copy. There are two events, street and vert (short for vertical). In street competitions, skaters perform tricks while jumping over boxes, ramps, and rails, while in vert they do a 60-second routine of tricks and stunts in a half-pipe, like that used in skateboarding and snowboarding.
   It seems certain extreme sports will continue to grow in popularity and bring even more people. So, what are you waiting for? Go to extremes!

Nature and Environmental Problems
   Nature is the world around us, except for human-made phenomena. As humans are the only animal species that consciously, powerfully manipulates the environment, we think of ourselves as unique and special. We acknowledge that in an objective view we are merely one of many organisms, and that we are not able to survive outside the natural world of air, earth, water and life. Still we tend to be poor leaders in the “hierarchy” of animal life. Despite our greatness, too often we waste; we destroy, and are too self-centered and short-sighted. Earth is so large, that even if humans destroy themselves, plus most other life forms, there will still be nature. The soil, oceans, atmosphere and weather would still interact with solar power to allow some life to exist. Earth cannot be a barren place like the moon. Humans can, then, reduce our planetary paradise into sort of a hell, but cannot, we may believe, destroy the planet itself.
   Even in this age of high-technology many people who live in cities and work full-time with computers see only little nature intimately. Anyway we all are still aware of the weather and the seasons. We all know that a short, rainy winter day is less pleasant than a warm sunny June day. Most of us enjoy the return of spring, and we mostly have certain pleasant or striking memories we associate with each season.
   The big problem is that what we like and cherish is constantly changing. Much has already changed. There is no denying that. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, different types of weather patterns and much more, people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing.
   Global warming has become an undisputed fact about our current livelihoods; our planet is warming up and we are definitely part of the problem. However, this isn’t the only environmental problem that we should be concerned about. All across the world, people are facing a wealth of new and challenging environmental problems every day. Some of them are small and only affect a few ecosystems, but others are drastically changing the landscape of what we already know.
   Our planet is poised at the brink of a severe environmental crisis. Climate change, ozone layer depletion, waste disposal, - are only a few of the current problems that make us vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and in the future. Unless we address the various issues prudently and seriously we are surely doomed for disaster.

Healthy living
   Being healthy is not just about what you eat, even though that means a lot. Being healthy is about how you treat your body, meaning what you put into it, and the type of things you put your body through. Most people think being healthy is an expensive and difficult lifestyle. It is really not much different or much more expensive than the way that most people live now. People are just reluctant to make changes in their lives.
   One thing that can be done to lead a healthier life style is to change the way you eat. Everyone should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and healthy oils and fats. Some people think fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meats are more expensive. Sometimes this may be true, but most of the time, you pay for what you get. So if you buy cheap food, with no nutritional value, then it is usually not healthy. If you spend the little extra on your meats, vegetables, and fruits, then in the long run you are doing yourself a favor. Also at many local farmer’s markets you can get fruits and vegetables for a much more discounted price and usually you know your products are pure and natural because they came from a farmer in your community. Another thing you can do to eat healthier is buying from a local butcher. Then you can know that it is not from a major meatpacking company. This proves that not all healthy food is more expensive.
  Another component to being healthy is exercise. It takes exercise to maintain a healthy body. You should exercise daily, even if it is just for an hour. Exercising keeps the body in shape and youthful. It helps metabolism. People who exercise also have good strength and are able to perform physical activity for a good amount oftime.
   Exercise is also proven to produce endorphins that make you feel better. Some people claim they are too busy to exercise, but there are some simple ways that exercise can be incorporated into a busy life. Some examples are going on walks, pushing children in a stroller, doing pushups and sit ups at home, and stretching. Exercising can be fun if you make it, and anyone can do it without a gym membership.
   Being healthy is also about the choices you make. If you put drugs and alcohol into your body on a regular basis then you are abusing your body. Alcohol is full of empty calories that cause weight gain. This is not a healthy choice.
   Having a healthy lifestyle is what you make it. It is not as hard and expensive as people say. It is just people having to change habits and get used to eating healthier. Eating healthy, sometimes taking vitamin supplements and exercising are all part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

New York City

   A simple and exciting way to travel around America is to take a tour and adventure package, which includes transport, accommodation, food and a guide. One of the popular holiday destinations in the world is New York City. NYC is an adrenaline-charged, history-laden place that holds immense romantic appeal for visitors. Towering skyscrapers serve as monuments of the modern age. Street life buzzes round the clock. New York City comprises five boroughs – Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. The waterfront, redeveloped in many places, and the Central Park give the city a chance to catch its breath. Iconic symbol of world culture is the neon of Times Square, known around the world as a symbol of the American spirit. It is located in central Manhattan at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. More than a third of a million people pass through the iconic square every day. From the Top of the Rock located 70 stories up at Rockefeller Center you’ll enjoy 360 degree stunning views of beautiful city.
   There are some key attractions and pleasures that you won’t want to miss: Chinatown, Soho, the East and West villages. Soho was a big centre for art galleries in the 1970s and 80s; it’s better known today for its shops and some historic cast-iron buildings. The East and West villages are known for their gorgeous, tree-lined streets, bohemian history and their hip bars, restaurants and shops.
   Of course, there is also the celebrated architecture of Midtown and the Financial District, as well as many fabulous museums. Midtown is dotted with some of the city’s most impressive sights, including the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal and the Museum of Modern Art. Fans of museums cannot miss the dinosaurs and planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, the mummies and medieval art work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and thought-provoking collection of modern art in a breathtaking setting of glass atriums at Museum of Modern Art (or simply put, MoMA). Don’t forget to visit the renowned Bronx Zoo and the botanical gardens in the Bronx. You could easily spend a whole day at the vast Metropolitan Museum of Art, exploring everything from Egyptian artefacts to modern masters. Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History are also worth a visit.
   There’s no greater symbol of the American dream than the magnificent Statue of Liberty gracing New York Harbor. A symbol of the city’s role as the gateway for generations of immigrants, was brought from France in 1886. You should enjoy a sea-sprayed, refreshing free trip on the Staten Island Ferry to have a perfect view of the Manhattan’s skyline and the Statue of Liberty.

Visiting the UK
    England is a great destination to visit or explore, and whether you’re a resident or tourist the country retains a boundless capacity to surprise, charm and excite. England has always had a history and heritage to be proud of, and a glorious regional diversity. Accommodation and food, the two essentials on any trip, were once a lottery in the UK. Now you can stay in boutique B&Bs, designer hotels and cheap campsites with an expanding choice of real English cuisine.
    The largest capital in the European Union, stretching for more than thirty miles from east to west, and with a population of just under eight million, a cosmopolitan city since at least the seventeenth century, today`s London is truly multicultural, with over a third of its permanent population originating from overseas: from the Caribbean, the Indian subcontinent, the Mediterranean, the Far East and Eastern Europe.
    The capital’s great historical landmarks – Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London with its Beefeaters, Crown Jewels and ravens, draw millions of tourists every year. Since the turn of the millennium, all of London’s world-class museums, galleries and institutions have been reinvented, from the Royal Opera House to the British Museum and the area of King’s Cross, home to the British Library and the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras, now being at the centre of a massive redevelopment project.
    With Tate Modern and the London Eye, the city boasts the world’s largest modern art museum and Europe’s largest Ferris wheel. And thanks to the 2012 Olympics, even the East End and Docklands, traditionally inhabited by working-class, were reconstructed. The former warehouses have been converted into apartments. Canary Wharf became a major business district in east London– along with the City of London – and contains many of Europe's tallest buildings.
    A good place to start exploring the city is Trafalgar Square, home to Nelson’s Column and the National Gallery. In Whitehall and Westminster you will find some of London’s most famous landmarks: Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. The grand streets and squares of the centre contain some of the city’s busiest tourist zones with theatres, cinemas, shops, cafés and restaurants: Piccadilly, Bond Street, Regent Street and Oxford Street.
    You could spend days just shopping in London, mixing with the upper classes in Harrods, or spend a day at markets of Portobello Road, Brick Lane and Camden. The city’s pubs, music, clubbing are now major attractions too. There is a growing network of markets where farmers and producers sell direct – not just fruit and vegetables but local cheeses, breads, pies, ales and more.

UK Higher Education System
   The largest group of higher education qualifications is bachelor’s degrees. Programmes leading to a bachelor’s degree are normally of three or four years’ duration for full-time students. A three-year course is more common, also there are four-year programmes for languages and for ‘sandwich’ courses that include a year abroad or a work experience year. Most, but not all, higher education institutions (HEIs) use credit-based systems in the design and management of curricula.
   Degree awarding institutions are responsible for the design of their own programmes and awards. The number of different courses offered is very high though the number has reduced in recent years. Programmes typically focus on a particular subject area, but there are also combined studies programmes involving two, or possibly three, specializations. Institutions which were originally set up as, for example, institutes of technology, but which subsequently gained university title, tend to retain a strong focus on their original specialism.
   Teaching methods are decided by the individual teacher, department, faculty or institution, or a combination of these. Most courses involve both formal lectures and less formal seminars, in which students are encouraged to participate and lead discussions. Certain courses require practical sessions such as work in a laboratory for science subjects and oral classes for foreign languages.
   Distance learning is increasingly available. The Open University admitted its first students in 1971 and is now a major provider of distance learning and the UK’s largest university in terms of student numbers. Other institutions also increasingly provide courses on this basis.

The University of London
   The University of London is the third oldest university in England founded by Royal Charter on 28 November 1836. It has expanded and changed since then and now is a federal University, comprising 18 Colleges and a number of academic Institutes. Thus, students study at a College or an Institute. Each College/ Institute has its own entrance requirements. Candidates must apply through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service).
   Bachelor’s degrees begin in September/October and are usually three years in duration. Most Master’s degrees also begin in September/October and are one year in duration. Besides, the University has a wide variety of short courses and summer programmes. Teaching is conducted in a combination of lectures, seminars and practical work. For most degrees students are assessed by coursework and written examinations.
   Today more than 170,000 students studying at Colleges and through distance learning programmes receive degrees each year. The University has been delivering its qualifications via distance learning for over 150 years. This allows students to combine studying with work and family commitments, without having to live in London. The award is exactly the same as that obtained by full-time students.
   The University of London has been a pioneering force in higher education since its early years. It introduced many new subjects into university education, including modern languages and laboratory science.
   In 1878 it became the first university in the UK to admit women to its degrees. In 1880 four women passed the BA examination and in 1881 two women obtained a BSc. By 1895 over 10 per cent of the graduates were women and by 1900 the proportion had increased to 30 per cent.
