Здравствуйте , помогите пожалуйста сделать данное задание по английскому языку, умоляю вас пожалуйста и заранее я вам очень сильно благодарен!!! На завтра очень нужно и надо!!! Have you ever wondered how birds find their way when flying? Read and find out. Choose the best answer a,b.c , or d for the question 1-5. The pigeon is famous for always being able to find its way home.In fact racing pigeons is a popular sport in some countries.Owners take their birds hundreds of miles away and then release them.The bird that gets back home in the fistest time is the winner.Until now it has been thought that the birds have their own built-in system of navigation and use the position of the sun and starts to quide them. However a ten-year study has proved to scientists that pigeons travel rather like drivers do and follow the major roads.The birds that were monitored in the study were constantly flying along motorways and even turning left and right at main junctions , while ignoring small winding roads. A professor of zoology at Oxford University and a racing pigeon expert agree.The professor says that birds use their traditional forms of navigation first but when they fly the same route again they remember the roads and follow them. A group of birds was released as a test and all flew along the same major road and turned right at the first junction.The pigeon racer describes this research as absolutely accurate.Every Saturday , he , says you can see flocks of pigeons flying along the motorways. 1.Pigeon racing consists of: a) owners see how far each pigeon can fly. b) scientific research into the way pigeons fly. c) pigeons are released on the motorways. d) owners see which pigeon gets home first. 2.Pigeons` `built-in system of navigation` refers to: a) their natural instinct for finding their way. b) their natural ability to follow major roads. c) the fact that they fly as a large group. d) special equipment the researches have used to track them. 3.The roads pigeons followed were: a) all the roads going in the right direction. b) only motorways. c) the important direct routes. d) the smaller less busy country roads. 4.A junction is: a) a sharp bent in the road. b) where a motorway and a road meet. c) a place where one road crosses another. d) a place where you can buy petrol. 5.Pigeons are expecially seen on Sarurdays because: a) that`s the day the roads are busiest. b) that`s the day the research takes place. c) that`s the day pigeon racing takes place. d) that`s the day the motorways are open.

One of Britains greatest ever writers, Charles Dickens is most associated with Victorian London and in particular the misery and poverty we call Dickensian, so he has not — up until now — been much used as a literary brand. Now on an industrial estate in the rather run down town of Chatham in Kent where the writer grew up, Dickens World is opening, a theme park dedicated, so it says, to giving a flavour of life in Dickenss England. The centrepiece is a boat ride through an elaborate interactive stage set of picturesque slums and their associated smells, to bring back an illusion of real Victorian life — and misery. It has caused a familiar debate of entertainment versus education. While critics have attacked the trivialisation of Dickenss legacy, the organizers reply that the writer was a great popular entertainer who would have heartily approved of such a theme park. The critics say the real Dickens experience is in the books — and trips down fake Victorian sewers wont get people reading. But it is of course ultimately a business proposition, investing 120 million dollars, and predicting 300,000 visitors a year. That shows a lot of confidence in both the pulling power of Dickens and of theme park versions of misery and poverty. A5. Dickenss World shows the life of people in Dickenss England. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated А6. The theme park doesnt reproduce the real life described in Dickenss books. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated A7. The critics say that people dont like reading Dickenss books. 1)True 2) False 3) Not stated A8. The organizers predict that a lot of visitors will come to the theme park. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated

Переведите пожалуйста текст! только не через переводчик!! заранее спасибо :) _ _ Хип-хоп - молодёжная субкультура, появившаяся в середине 1970-х в среде афроамериканцев и латиноамериканцев. Для неё характерны своя музыка (также называемая хип-хоп, рэп), свой сленг, своя хип-хоп мода, танцевальные стили (брейк-данс),графическое искусство (граффити) и свой кинематограф. К началу 1990-х г. хип-хоп стал частью молодёжной культуры во многих странах мира, а также в России. Музыка хип-хопа состоит из двух основных элементов: рэпа (ритмичного речитатива с чётко обозначенными рифмами) и ритма, задаваемого ди-джеем, хотя нередки композиции и без вокала. На сцене музыканты часто сопровождаются танцевальным ансамблем. В настоящее время хип-хоп является одним из наиболее коммерчески успешных видов современной развлекательной музыки.
