Task 5
Read the text below. For questions (22-26) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
According to a new research carried on by scientists of the University of Michigan, students who realize that their school can be meaningful for their future career, eagerly do their home assignment.
600 middle-school students participating in the study were asked to reflect on what they wanted to do in the future, and as a result these students showed greater willingness to do the homework that night.
Another finding be the scientists was the fact that students who saw college education as a part of their career path were up to eight times more likely to do extra homework.
It's beyond the shadow of a doubt that middle-school students are able to make the connection between school work and future earnings, and only need to be reminded of this connection to become more motivated to learn. With younger students the connection might not be so clear, however, there are other ways to increase motivation in them.
In particular, younger students can be told that if they want to be like one of their action heroes they need to work hard in school. "Most sports personalities are excellent role models for young children and often work in schools to encourage children to learn and do well", the researchers say.
But how often should teachers and parents make sure that children understand the school's impact on their adult life? Instead of being concentrated on short-term objectives - the next test, exam or learning stage - parents and educators had better give children the bigger picture of why students are in school.
This idea is supported by a study conducted some time ago when children were asked why they had to learn to read. The answers they got were not too inspiring. Some children said they had to learn to read "because the teachers says so", or because "my parents want me to". It took some time to tell and show them that teachers were not making them learn to read for the sake of reading , but so they could learn more and become clever enough to get a good job when they left school. The children were quite surprised at this new way of looking at the reason for learning to read and most of them were more motivated to learn as a result.

Task 6
Read the texts below. Match choices. There are two choices you do not need to use.
Elon Mask is the co-founder and CEO at Tesla who is in charge of all product design, engineering and manufacturing of the company's electric vehicles, battery products, and Solar Roofs.
He wished for online payment, so he created PayPal; he wanted to drive a fast and chic electrocar and designed Tesla Roadster; he said he wanted "to die on Mars" and Falcon Heavy is on its way toward "The Red Planet".
Currently, he's been working on Hyperloop, a high-speed, solar-powered transportation system, capable of transporting from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes.
He is also CEO of Neuralink, which is developing ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect the human brain to computers.
has changed the world with his discovery.
J. K. Rowling is known as the creator of Harry Potter fantasy series that became one of the most popular books in history.
Before she came up with the idea of writing fantasy books, Joanne used to do different things such as bilingual secretary for Amnesty International and an English teacher in Portugal.
Today she dedicates much of her time to many charitable projects. Thus, she insisted on Coca-Cola donating $18 million to the Reading Fundamental charity providing a link-up withe the Potter movies instead.
has directed three of the most profitable documentaries.
Maria Montessori was an outstanding Italian educator of the 19th century. The method of teaching she developed has had a great impact on modern educational approaches.

She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times for her work.
used to teach English in European country.
A British scientist, Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, is mostly credited withe the invention of the World Wide Web. He had been at the head of the WWW Consortium since 1994 trying to lead the Web to its full potential. Queen Elizabeth II granted him the Knight title for his achievements (so he is called "Sir"), and the Time Magazine ranked him as the world's greatest living genius. And it is fair as it's difficult to deny that today's world would be very different without his discovery.

Task 7
Read the text below. Choose the one which best fits space (33-38). There are two choices you do not need to use.
There are numerous stories about well-known painters and their works of art. A fine example can come from Leonardo da Vinci. Everyone (33) [Mona Lisa's lips to perfection, has heard about, by art masterpieces , at a very high price, to be hanging upside down, if one looks hard enough, by many art-lovers today to thank for, to use a mirror in order to read them] Leonardo da Vinci's most famous artwork, The Mona Lisa. However, only a few may have known that it took the renowned artist 12 years just to consider, paint and bring (34) [Mona Lisa's lips to perfection, has heard about, by art masterpieces , at a very high price, to be hanging upside down, if one looks hard enough, by many art-lovers today to thank for, to use a mirror in order to read them] . No wonder people still try to solve the mystery of her tight-lipped smile.
During the time when the famous artwork was stolen from the Louvre in 1912, there were known to be six replicas that were sold as originals, each (35) [Mona Lisa's lips to perfection, has heard about, by art masterpieces , at a very high price, to be hanging upside down, if one looks hard enough, by many art-lovers today to thank for, to use a mirror in order to read them] . This was done for a good three years until the original painting was finally found. Another thing to mention about Leonardo da Vinci is that he wrote all his private notes in reverse, requiring others (36) [Mona Lisa's lips to perfection, has heard about, by art masterpieces , at a very high price, to be hanging upside down, if one looks hard enough, by many art-lovers today to thank for, to use a mirror in order to read them] .
There are also interesting stories that concern other world-famous artists. For example, despite Vincent Van Gogh's fame today, he was only able to sell one and only one painting during his lifetime - his The Red Vineyard at Arles.
On December 3, 1961 Henri Matisse's painting Le Bateau (a light flat-bottomed riverboat used in Canada) was finally put the right way up after being found (37) [Mona Lisa's lips to perfection, has heard about, by art masterpieces , at a very high price, to be hanging upside down, if one looks hard enough, by many art-lovers today to thank for, to use a mirror in order to read them] for 46 days without anyone noticing at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, America.
The famous artist Picasso learned how to draw before he could walk. His first word was the Spanish word for "pencil".
In every painting made by the famous Salvador Dali, one will be able to find a self-portrait (38) [Mona Lisa's lips to perfection, has heard about, by art masterpieces , at a very high price, to be hanging upside down, if one looks hard enough, by many art-lovers today to thank for, to use a mirror in order to read them] . One could see, at the very least, the artist's profile in some of them.
And another interesting fact for art-lovers out there. A camel-hair painting brush isn't actually made from real camel hair. The brush can be made of horse, bear, sheep or even squirrel hair, but surely nor camel.

Task 9
Read the text below. For questions 49-58 choose the correct answer.
Long long ago there lived a wise ruler. People used (49) [come, came, to come, coming] to him with their problems, and he often gave some useful advice. One man, though, kept coming to the ruler and complaining about the same problem over and over again. The wise ruler gave his opinion about the problem and said what the man should do to (50) [solve, try, decide, present] it. However, the man didn't (51) [give, provide, follow, offer] the ruler's advice and continued to his house always moaning and groaning.
One day, the ruler (52) [listen, listened, has listened, lad listened] to him and decided to tell him a joke; the joke was funny, and the man roared (53) [at, in, out, with] laughter.
After a few minutes, when the man returned o his problem, the ruler told him the same joke, and the man only smiled (54) [although, rather than , as well as, as to ] laughed.
When the ruler told the same joke for the third time, the man did not laugh or smile (55) [anymore, no more, so more, that more]. Rather, he looked (56) [confuse, confusing, confusingly, confused].
The wise man smiled and said: "You can't laugh at the same joke over and over. So (57) [why , when, what, how ]are yo complaining about the same problem?Complaining won't solve your problems, it'll (58) [already, yet, just, ever]waste your time and energy."
