Chapter II
On that day I went as usual into the garden, and happened to go close to the low fence which separated our garden from the neighbourstask. Suddenly I heard a voice; I looked across the fence, and was thunder-struck. …
A few steps from me on the grass between the green raspberry bushes stood a tall slender girl in a striped pink dress. Four young men were close round her, and she was slapping them by turns on the forehead with those small grey flowers, the name of which I dontaskt know, though they are well known to children. The flowers form little bags, and burst open with a pop when you strike them against anything hard. The young men presented their foreheads so eagerty, and in the gestures of the gir, there was something so fascinating, imperious, mocking, and charming, that I almost cried out with admiration and delight, I thought, I would give everything in the world at once only to find myself one of these young men. I forgot everything; I stared at the graceful shape and lovely arms and the slightly disordered fair hair. …
"Young man, hey, young man," said a voice suddenly near me: taskis it allowed to stare so at unfamiliar young ladies?" Near me, the other side of the fence, stood a man with close-cropped black hair, looking ironically at me. At the same instant the girl also turned towards me. … I caught sight of big grey eyes in a bright mobile face, and the whole face suddenly quivered and laughed, there was a flash of the white teeth, a funny liting of the eyebrows. I blushed and fled to my own room, threw myself on the bed, and hid my face in my hands. My heart was fairly leaping; I was greatly ashamed and overjoyed; I felt an excitement I had never known before.
After a rest, I brushed my hair, washed, and went downstairs to tea. The image of the young girl floated in front of me, my heart was no longer leaping, but was full of a sort of sweet oppression.
"Whattasks the matter? my father asked me all at once.
I was on the point of telling him ail about it, but I controlled myself, and only smiled to myself. As I was going to bed, I rotated - I dontaskt know why - three times on one leg, pomaded my hair, got into bed, and slept like a log all night.

Spotlight on Russia takes a look at the Festival of the North
Текст в учебнике 2019 года:
Summer may be coming but in Russia winter sports are very popular and there are lots of competitions and events to watch or take part in all over the Russian Federation.
The Festival of the North is an annual sports and cultural event in March and April. It includes about 20 winter sports, and takes place in northern Russia, inside the Arctic Circle in the town of Murmansk and its surrounding regions.
The festival is held to celebrate the coming of spring. During winter in this part of the world, there is a time when the sun doesn’t shine at all. This is called the Polar Night, and for two months there is almost total darkness. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that spring is celebrated with a big festival of sports and feasting, singing and dancing over a period of ten days.
The festival was first held in 1934. More events have been added over the years, including a 50 km skiing marathon. About 1200 people compete in this each year. Other events include an ice-hockey tournament, reindeer racing, cross-country skiing and downhill skiing. There is even an underwater swimming competition in the freezing cold waters of Lake Sernyonovskoye.
Athletes from all over the world come to the festival to compete. The Russian cross-country skiing team always takes part. Sports fans can watch all the outdoor events for free. Participants have to pay a small fee to take part in the skiing marathon. It’s very cold and a very long way, but well worth it if you ever get a chance to go.
