Упражнение 2. Прочитайте и переведите текст, обращая внимание на грамматику уроков 7—9. How It Works Fuel warning light. Many cars have a fuel warning light. The level of fuel (petrol) in the tank being very low, this light switches on and the driver can see that he needs more petrol. How does this fuel warning light work? The level of the fuel falling, the float moves downwards. When this happens, the arm also moves downwards and makes the lever touch an electrical contact, thus switching on the fuel light in the car. Seeing the fuel warning light, the driver puts more petrol into the tank. This makes the fuel level rise and pushes the float up wards. When risen, the float makes the arm move upwards and this causes the level to move upwards also. The fuel warning light then switches off. A car cooling system. Most car engines are cooled by water. The water flows around the engine and then passes through the ra diator. It then passes through the water pump and around the en gine again. Thus, there are several stages in this cycle:
Finding a fault in a car. If your car doesn’t start in the morning, you should check three things first: the battery, the fuel level and the spark plugs (свеча зажигания). It is easy to repair these faults. If the battery is flat, you should recharge it. If this doesn’t work, you should replace it. If the petrol tank is empty, fill it up. If the spark plugs are dirty, clean them, and if the gap in a spark plug is too narrow or too wide, adjust it to the correct width. If your car still doesn’t start, the petrol pump may be broken, or the fuel pipe may be blocked. If the pump is broken, it must be re paired or replaced. If the fuel pipe is blocked, take it off and unblock it. If there is a loud click when you turn the key, the starter motor may be jammed (заклинивать). If it is, you can try to release it by pushing the car forwards and backwards (in 2nd gear). If the car still doesn’t start, the starter motor should be repaired or replaced. Упражнение 3.

Automotive Engines Speaking about automotive engines one should say that the two most common types of engine for land vehicles are the petrol en gine and the diesel engine. Since petrol engines are usually lighter and smaller than diesel engines, they are cheaper. Therefore, most cars and motorbikes use petrol engines. Petrol engines are also less noisy than diesel en gines. They usually go faster. On the other hand, diesel engines use less fuel and last longer than petrol engines, and this is why larger vehicles such as trucks and trains use them. They are also safer than petrol engines, because there is less danger of fire. There are two main types of petrol engine — 4-stroke and 2-stroke. All cars and larger motor-cycles use 4-stroke engines. But most smaller motorbikes use 2-stroke engines. These are lighter and smaller than 4-stroke engines, and are therefore cheaper.
1. Which is the lightest of the three engines (2-stroke, 4-stroke or diesel)? 2. Which is the least expensive? 3. Which is the noisiest?
