Text for Reading Comprehension №3

Nick was bored with life. Every day was exactly the same. He got up at exactly the same time; he caught the same bus to work; he did the same things in the office; he talked to the same people; he came home at the same time; he watched the same programmes on television — and he went to bed at the same time!

«What I need is a little adventure!» Nick thought as he waited at the bus-stop one morning. Nick's «little adventure» happened sooner than he expected!

While he was on the bus, reading his newspaper (the same one that he read every morning), the man sitting next to him suddenly pushed a large brown envelope into his hands. «Here, take this!» he muttered. Then he stood up and got off the bus before Nick could say a word.

Nick sat there, holding the envelope. It felt heavy. There were papers inside, or money perhaps. «I'd better hand it over to the police,» he thought. There was a police-station close to his office. But, as he got off the bus, a man approached him. He was obviously waiting for something. «He wants the envelope,» Nick thought. Nick began to walk quickly—and the man hurried after him. Nick started to run — and the man began to run too. But then, just before he got to the police station, Nick managed to lose the man in the crowds. When he entered the police station, the man was no longer in sight.

Inside the police-station, Nick handed over the envelope to the inspector in charge. The inspector opened it. The envelope was full of money —false money. «Obviously the man made a mistake,» the inspector said. «He thought you were one of the gang! Well, congratulations!»

Nick felt like a hero. He could already see his name in all the papers. He could imagine an interview on television!

«However,» the inspector went on, interrupting Nick's day-dreams, «I'm afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about all this. We're trying to catch some very clever thieves — and we don't want them to know that we have some of the money. So you mustn't say a word to anyone — not even your boss! Sorry!»

«So that's that!» Nick said to himself on his way to the office. He was over an hour late. «I' ve had my little adventure... but I can't tell anyone about it, so what's the point? I've even got to make up an excuse for the boss!»

1. Where did Nick work?

2. Why did the man give the envelope to Nick? What criminals were the police trying to catch?

3. Why did Nick feel disappointed after his «little adventure»?

Meet my family. There are five of us – my parents, my elder brother, my baby sister and me. First, meet my mum and dad, Jane and Michael. My mum enjoys reading and my dad enjoys playing chess with my brother Ken. My mum is slim and rather tall. She has long red hair and big brown eyes. She has a very pleasant smile and a soft voice. My mother is very kind and understanding. We are real friends. She is a housewife. As she has three children, she is always busy around the house. She takes care of my baby sister Meg, who is only three months old. My sister is very small and funny. She sleeps, eats and sometimes cries. We all help our mother and let her have a rest in the evening. Then she usually reads a book or just watches TV. My father is a doctor. He is tall and handsome. He has short dark hair and gray eyes. He is a very hardworking man. He is rather strict with us, but always fair. My elder brother Ken is thirteen, and he is very clever. He is good at Maths and always helps me with it, because I can hardly understand all these sums and problems. Ken has red hair and brown eyes. My name is Jessica. I am eleven. I have long dark hair and brown eyes. I am not as clever as my brother, though I try to do my best at school too. I am fond of dancing. Our dancing studio won The Best Dancing Studio 2015 competition last month. I am very proud of it. I also like to help my mother with my little sister very much. Our family is very united. We love each other and always try to spend more time together.

английский

В школе мы изучаем один из современных языков. Это английский. Это мой любимый предмет. На уроках английского мы учимся читать, писать и говорить. Мы изучаем историю и географию страны, Великобритании и США. Мы читаем рассказы известных английских и американских детских писателей. Мне нравятся истории Алана Милна, Дональда Биссета, Льюиса Кэрролла, Марка Твена и других.

Я хочу быть умным в английском, потому что английский мне в моей будущей жизни. Я буду читать книги на английском, смотреть фильмы, слушать песни и понимать их. Но что важнее, я буду говорить с людьми из других стран, и мы поймем друг друга. Подружимся и будем

English At school we study one of the modern languages. This is English. This is my favorite subject. In English lessons, we learn to read, write and speak. We study the history and geography of the country, Great Britain and the United States. We read stories by famous English and American writers. I love the stories of Alan Milne, Donald Bisset, Lewis Carroll, Mark Twain and others. I want to be smart in English because English will help me in my future life. I will read books in English, watch movies, listen to songs and understand them. But more importantly, I will speak with people from other countries, and we will understand each other. Let's make friends and live in peace. Translation of the text will be available
