| Задание № 1 I. Reading I.I Read the article and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. Nick is now in his sixties, and like many homeless people who live on the street, he buys a newspaper every day. Today, with his fellow beggars, he reads about yesterday's student demonstrations. Like many of the beggars who live under the bridges in Paris, Nick was not always so poor. A long time ago he was in the Navy, and like many who had been to sea for a long time, he had stayed slim and fit. Despite the strict organization on board ship, he loved the life, and had the opportunity to see many countries. He visited Poland and Russia, in South Africa he realized what he valued in each country was the people he met. He was always surprised and delighted by the ways in which the people he met differed from one country to another. After many happy years in the Navy, he had to retire. The good things in life always come to an end. His mother and father died and he lost touch with his other relatives. He came to Paris and became an industrial designer. He was happy, although it wasn't the same as the sea. He never wanted to get married and have children. That was the period of darkness. Then he smiled sadly. He shrugged his shoulders and looked at his hands. There were tears in the corners of his eyes. There was something that he could not bring himself to talk about. "It all went wrong" he whispered. He was silent for a minute, then recovered. He began to talk more loudly. "Look at me now, it makes me angry. And what about our government? It has been in power for years, and look what it has done for us. Nothing! I'm still out on the streets and I live the life of a dog." |
