You will hear the conversation twice.

Reading. Task1. Read the text and match choices (A-H) to (1-5). There are three choices you don’t need to use.

How to Have Good Relationship with Your Parents.

1)   [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h] Without mutual respect, any relationship will be an unhappy one. People who respect each other: 1) value each other’s opinions, 2) listen to each other, 3) disagree without screaming or insults. And remember, your parents have lived longer then you – don’t discount their experience and knowledge.

2)   [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h] This is your key to freedom. The way to build trust is through honesty and responsibility. Honesty means you don’t lie or manipulate. Responsibility means you are reliable and can be counted on to use good judgment. When your parents trust you, it’s a lot easier for them to say “yes”.

3)   [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h] Your parents want to know what’s going on in your life. If you keep them in the dark, they won’t know when you need their help or whether they can trust you. Tell them what you’re up to, share your thought and feelings with them, and seek their advice for your problems (you don’t have to take it). Communication builds closeness.

4)   [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h] If you’re always honest, a parent will be likely to believe what you say. If you sometimes hide the truth or add too much drama, parents will have a harder time believing what you tell them. If you tell stories, they’ll find it hard to trust you.

5)   [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h] Using a tone that’s friendly and polite makes it more likely that parents will listen and take what you say seriously. It also makes it more likely that they’ll talk to you in the same way. Of course, this is hard for any of us (adults included) when we’re feeling heated about something. If you think your emotions might get the better of you, do something to blow off steam before talking: go for a run. Cry. Hit your pillow. Do whatever it takes to sound calm when you need to.

These guidelines work both ways. Is, on occasions, your parents violate any of the guidelines, talk to them about it. Pick a time when you are both calm and feeling god toward each other (never when you’re angry). Then, explain to them what they did, yow it makes you feel, and what you’d like them to do instead.

a. Win Your Parents’ Confidence

b. Try Not to Argue or Whine

c. Speak Respectfully

d. Never Lie

e. Try to Understand Their Point of View

f. Respect Each other

g. Communicate

h. Give Details that Can Help Parents to Understand Your Situation.

Task 2

Read the text below. For questions (6—10) choose the correct answer (А, В, C, or D).

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT ELEPHANTS NEVER FORGET?

Elephants would be excellent in the business world. Working elephants in Myanmar have been shown to remember verbal commands, other animals, and people. Considering the way they store memories of their interactions, elephants appear biologically disposed to networking. An elephant never draws a blank, leading to the famous saying: "An elephant never forgets." Studies have revealed that as an elephant ages, its memor y improves. When approached by an outsider, a matriarch often signals to the rest of the herd whether the stranger is a friend or a foe. She rises her personal experiences, as well as her sense of smell and contact cues, to protect her brood from rogue and possibly violent Dull elephants. The matriarch passes her knowledge on to other members of her herd. (This was determined from a study of twenty-one elephant families during a seven-year period in Kenya.)

The same survival instinct comes into play when an elephant smells a member of a familiar group that is known to kill elephants. When an elephant catches a whiff of one of these hunters, it will race for safety. If the elephant smells a member of a group that is known not to kill elephants, it will continue grazing in the area. The elephant remembers scents, and it can differentiate between one that means danger and one that doesn't.

The saying itself is likely an alteration of an old Greek proverb: "A camel never forgets an injury." Camels were swapped out for elephants early in the twentieth century after intelligence and an impressive capacity for recall were observed in the latter. It has become common to say someone has an "elephantine" memory — which is much more acceptable than saying that someone has an elephantine body.

A She recognizes enemies.

В She teaches other elephants.

C She has perfect sense of smell.

D She fights with bull elephants.

7. Wha t is described in paragraph 2?   [A, B, C, D]

A How an elephant kills its enemies.

В How an elephant lives in the herd.

C How an elephant feels danger.

D How an elephant hunts.

8. The studies about elephants' intelligence date back to   [A, B, C, D]

A. the matriarch epoch

В. the 20 t h century

C. the Greek time

D. this century

9. Why was the word "camel" exchanged in the saying?   [A, B, C, D]

A. Studies showed camels weren't able to remember injury.

В. Elephants were excellent in business world.

C. Studies proved that elephants were clever.

D. Camels became fewer in number.

10. What does "elephantine" memory mean?   [A, B, C, D]

A. You memorize all details.

В. You have a bad memory.

C. You forget injustice.

D. You have big brain.
