Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 9 класс, Дрофа:
7. The texts below (a—e) are parts of magazine articles. Match them with the titles (1—6). One title you don’t need to use.
1) American Food
2) The Key to Your Adventures
3) Get the Certificate

5) Goodbye to Old Traditions
6) Study Abroad
a) The first time anyone really did it, was for nothing more than a shopping trip. For pepper and cinnamon, to be precise. In 1519, fine ships set sail from the Spanish coast in an attempt to find the South-West passage leading from the Atlantic into the “Southern Sea”, what we now call the Pacific Ocean.
b) So basically, it’s all clear. We choose a university, and submit the application forms. However, you soon begin to realise that it’s not all that easy. In the first place, it’s a big shock to learn that someone, who’s finished a Russian high school, in most cases, cannot go directly to a UK university. Why? Firstly, age: Brits tend to finish school at 18; secondly, the qualifications received on finishing a Russian school are considered of a lower level than the British equivalents.
c) The times of Krusenstern and Columbus are long gone; there are almost no places on the Earth left undiscovered by sunglasses-clad tourists, carrying cameras with huge zoom lenses. However, there is one thing which remains true of travellers throughout time — they need money. But while the Conquistadors travelled under the patronage of their kings, modern young tourists must make do1 by themselves — and in this, they are aided by cards — credit cards and discount cards.
d) In today’s modern world, you can’t really manage without a computer. One way or another, professionals working in practically any area must be able to use a computer. Therefore, there is a need for a uniform assessment of computer literacy, something like the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL). Nowadays, in many countries, going to a university or training at the workplace requires having ECDL. In Romania, for example, ECDL is approved by the Ministry of Education.
e) The truth is, that families in the US eat together less often than they used to. Instead of meeting at the dinner table, families often meet in the kitchen, around the refrigerator. There’s no time for old-fashioned cooking. Quick snacks all through the day have taken its place. And to save trouble, people eat wherever they like, in the street, in front of the TV, or at their desks.
