Задание 1 1. It was a cold January day in York, Pennsylvania. Dr. James turned on the television to check on the weather. The weatherman said that it was going to stay cold for several days. According to him, the roads were very dangerous because of the snow and ice and he strongly recommended staying at home if at all possible. Dr. James couldn`t stay at home. He worked in a hospital and there were patients waiting for him there. He put on a sweater, jacket, gloves, boots and a hat, and opened his front door. Everything was covered with snow. A cold wind blew inside. “Wow,” Dr. James said. “The weatherman was right! I wish I had a reindeer instead of my old car.” When Dr. James was driving slowly to work, he saw an accident. He stopped and ran to the damaged car. There was a man and two children inside. “Is everyone okay?” Dr. James asked. “Yes, yes, we are fine,” answered the man. “I have called 911 already. They are coming to help us. It looks like we won’t get to school today.” 2. Martin was in a hurry as he had to be in the office as soon as possible. His boss didn`t like it when anyone missed the morning meetings and Martin had already been late several times that week. His boss had warned him: “If you are late again, you will lose your job.” Martin was afraid of losing his job. His colleagues were nice to him, the salary was good and he sometimes went on business trips abroad. It was actually the best job he had ever had. He ran out of the house, jumped into his car and backed up without looking. BOOM! There was a sound like someone hitting a drum. Martin had hit the car behind him. “Oh, no!” Martin exclaimed. Martin glanced at his watch. It was 7:18. He looked around. There were no policemen on the street and he decided to drive off quickly. It took him 20 minutes to get to work. The boss was not around. “Thank goodness,” Martin said to himself and sat down at his desk to work. The boss arrived an hour later. “Somebody hit my car and left without leaving a note,” he said angrily. “I wish I knew who he was. My car was absolutely new! It was bought only a week ago.” Задание 2 Страны экспортируют одни товары и импортируют другие, потому что иногда дешевле купить, чем производить самим. В Австралии теплый климат и много растительности. Это благоприятно для овцеводства, поэтому Австралия экспортирует много высококачественной шерсти. В Тайване есть много квалифицированных техников, поэтому она производит радиоприемники, телевизоры и другие электронные продукты для экспорта. Климат Канады благоприятен для пшеницы, а Аргентина является производителем недорогого мяса. Канада поставляет свою пшеницу в Аргентину, а Аргентина продает свое мясо в Канаду.
