Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 9 класс, Дрофа:
6. Read the texts (a—f) and match them with the titles (1—7). There N is one title you don’t need to use.
1) A Bit of the Thames’ History
2) Beautiful and Magnificent Creatures Are Dying Out
3) Most Unusual Finds
4) The Newest Inhabitant of the Thames
5) An Unusual Event
6) An Unusual Disease
7) Unusual Places on the River
a) The River Thames in London is getting cleaner! How do we know? Because there are seahorses living in it. These seahorses are rare and usually live in the waters around the Canary Islands and Italy. They like shallow muddy water, so they are quite hard to find. And if you do spot one, don’t touch it! There is a special new law to protect them.
b) How do you feel after taking a shower? Refreshed and clean? Imagine that you felt pain after it. That’s what it’s like for 15-year-old Ryan Clarke. Ryan is allergic to water. “Whenever my skin comes in contact with water,” says Ryan, “I get a rash all over my body.” Ryan’s condition is very rare — only 30 people in the world suffer from it. In spite of his allergy Ryan goes swimming and showers daily. “He has just to put up with it,” says his mum.
c) The Thames was for many centuries part of the fierce ritual of “ducking”. It is such a ritual when people push someone underwater for a short time. It was a usual punishment in the Middle Ages in London. Imagine such a cruel punishment for women just for swearing or nagging their husbands.
d) Tigers are on the brink of extinction. Their home is vanishing. The forests which these animals used to rule have become much smaller, their hunting grounds have nearly disappeared. When they are gone, tigers will not share the Earth with us any more. There are only 4,000 tigers in the wild now. A hundred years ago there were 80,000 tigers.
e) Every year people lose about 150,000 items on the London underground. The famous Lost Property Office is in Baker Street and it gets 600 items a day — from umbrellas and handbags to wheelchairs, footballs and laptops. People in the office could hardly believe their eyes when they saw there false eyes, a park bench, a 50 metre boat, and a stuffed eagle.
f) “Red Nose Day” is a charity organised by famous comedians. Clowns make people laugh. Clowns wear red noses. People in the UK sell cakes with red noses, they put red noses on their cars and they wear red noses to work. They do it to raise money for charity. “Red Nose Day” is held every two years. The UK raises millions of pounds on this day.
