Task 2.Read the text below. For questions (1-5) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

The first traffic signal was invented by a railway signaling engineer. It was installed outside the House of Parliament in 1868. It looked like any railway signal of the time, and was operated by gas. However, it exploded and killed a policeman, and the accident discouraged further development until cars became common. Modern traffic lights are an American invention.

Red-green systems were installed in New York in 1918. The first lights of this type in Britain were in London on the junction between St. James's Street and Piccadilly, in 1925.

In the past traffic lights were special. In New York some lights had a statue on top. In Los Angeles the lights did not just change silently but rang bells to wake the sleeping motorists of the 1930s. These are gone and have been replaced by standard models, which are universally adopted.

1.Which of the following is not TRUE?   [a, b, c, d]

A The first traffic signal was the cause of death of a British policeman.

B The first traffic signal was invented in the Houses of Parliament.

C The first traffic signal didn't look like the traffic lights of today

D The first traffic signal was placed near the palace of Westminster.

2.What are traffic lights?   [a, b, c, d]

A Special signal controlling road traffic by coloured lights.

B Movement of cars along roads.

C An official controlling over the movement of cars.

D Regulation of traffic with the help of coloured lights.

3.Whom do we owe the traffic lights of the type we use now to?   [a, b, c, d]

A Americans.

B Members of Parliament from Westminster Palace.

C British.

D Sleeping motorists.

4.Why was the changing of the traffic lights followed by the bells in 1930s?   [a, b, c, d]

A To break the silence of Los Angeles.

B To wake the sleeping drivers.

C To replace the standard models of the time.

D To keep step with the time.

5.What does the word junction' mean?   [a, b, c, d]

A A narrow country road.

B The main public road.

C A paved way at the side of a street for people on foot.

3.   [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h]The region of Alsace in north-eastern France is like a country in itself.

4.   [a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h]Two centuries ago China was seen as a combination of mystery and wasteland. A mixture of the West and the East is now found in modern businesses. The production of weapons and the growth of its army have made China a world power.
