VIDEO MISSION TO MARS
DWe are leaming more about Mars with
of rovers. These are robots with whole
American rovers, Opportunity and Cunos
already there. They are exploring and
intormation to Earth for scientists to study i
be like rush hour on Mars as a Eurage
Russian rover and a third American roves de
to join Opportunity and Curiosity soon.
D. Of course, the dream for many people uses
humans to Mars NASA, the American
agency, is aiming to do this in the 2030s. It was
easy for the astronauts as they will have to
almost three years away from Earth, but it
worth it. Neil Armstrong made one quant les
mankind" The first astronaut on Mars will ma
even greater one
A Humans love to explore. We crossed oceans to
discover new lands. We explored the highest, coldest
and most remote places on Earth. In 1961, Yuri
Gagarin boarded Vostok 1 at Baikonur Cosmodrome
and became the first person in space. Eight years
later, Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on
the Moon. Now, we're turning our attention to Mars
as the next step on our journey of exploration.
B Why Mars? Well, firstly, it's not too far. Apart from
Venus, it's our closest neighbour, so the journey will
take months and not years. Temperatures on Venus
are over 400°C so humans can't go there, but on Mars
the average temperature is about -63°C. Other planets
like Jupiter and Saturn are big balls of gas with
extremely strong winds, but Mars has a solid rocky
surface.​

Carol Chadbond leant on the counter by the till, chewing gum, and gazed at the customers in the shoe shop. There were only two: a young girl and her mother. They had been A21 trying on (примеряя)shoes for twenty minutes, unable to agree on anything. The girl wanted something expensive and fashionable, A22 while( в то время как) the mother wanted something cheap and practical. Carol watched them argue and thought how bored she was.She wished she hadn't agreed to stand in for Julie on a Saturday morning. She could be out with her friends now, drinking coffee and gossiping instead of waiting for people to A23 make(решат) their minds up . The mother came over with a shoe in her hand.'I wonder if you have this in a size 4,' she said. Carol took the shoe and smiled the automatic smile she A24 reserved (берегла), for customers.I’ll go and have a look. Won't be a minute,' she said and went into the storeroom. She quickly found the shoes, then sat on a stool, hoping to waste a few minutes by A25 pretending (притворяясь)to look for the shoes. She thought about her plans for that evening. She was looking forward to going to the cinema and seeing her favourite actor's latest film. Realising that she hadn't invited Amy, she got out her mobile and quickly dialled the number. It rang twice before Amy answered.'Hi, it's me!' Carol said. 'Guess what? I'm at work. Listen, what are you doing later?'Soon, Amy was telling Carol all about what had happened the night before and who had said what to whom. Forgetting where she was, Carol got more and more A26 involved (все больше увлеклась)in the conversation, crying 'Really?' and 'I don't believe it!' at the more interesting moments in the story. A low cough came from the door of the storeroom. Carol looked up to see the woman customer standing there with a very annoyed A27 look(выражением) on her face. Even worse, the shop manager, Mrs Lewis, was standing right behind her.'Erm ... I'll call you back,' Carol said into the phone, and hung A28 up (положила трубку(закончила беседу)). Somehow, she had the feeling that she might not have to work the following Saturday morning.

Bo I’m fourteen years old. I’m fond of reading. Books take an important place in my life. I was taught to like and take care of books from the childhood. I find out much new, useful and interesting information from books. They teach me to take right decisions and apprehend school subjects better. I can find an answer to any interesting question in books. I get knowledge from them. I like to read books about the Middle Ages and also I like historical and fantastic works. I plunge into another world at once. Also I like scientific stories about animals and plants. The book is a medicine for soul. When I finish reading of a good book I always feel upset because of its fast end. One famous writer said that books are our friends. I completely agree with him. It seems to me that books take an important place in our life and they are necessary for everybody.
