Прочитайте текст и выполните задания Gifted education 1. Gifted education (also known as Gifted and Talented Education (GATE), Talented and Gifted (TAG), is a broad term for special practices, procedures and theories used in the education of children who have been identified as gifted or talented. There is no standard global definition of what a gifted student is. 2. Appropriateness of forms of gifted education is the most hotly debated aspect among educators. Some people believe that gifted education resources lack availability and flexibility. They feel that in the alternate methods of gifted education, the gifted students «miss out» on having a «normal» childhood, at least insofar as «normal childhood» is defined as attending school in a mixed-ability classroom. Others believe that gifted education allows gifted students to interact with peers that are on their level, be adequately challenged, and leaves them better equipped to take on the challenges of life. 3. While giftedness is seen as an academic advantage, psychologically it can pose other challenges for the gifted individual. A person who is intellectually advanced may or may not be advanced in other areas. Each individual student needs to be evaluated for physical, social, and emotional skills without the traditional prejudices which prescribe either «compensatory» weaknesses or «matching» advancement in these areas. A person with significant academic talents often finds it difficult to fit in with schoolmates. These pressures often wane during adulthood, but they can leave a significant negative impact on emotional development. 4. Social pressures can cause children to «play down» their intelligence in an effort to blend in with other students. «Playing down» is seen somewhat more frequently in socially acute adolescents. This behavior is usually discouraged by educators when they recognize it. Unfortunately, the very educators who want these children to challenge themselves and to embrace their gifts and talents are often the same people who are forced to discourage them in a mixed-ability classroom, through mechanisms like refusing to call on the talented student in class so that typical students have an opportunity to participate.

There are two basic types of tariffs. Revenue tariffs are levied as a way to raise money. Protective tariffs are levied to protect a domestic industry from foreign competition. The goal is to make the foreign product more expensive then a similar item produced by a domestic producer. Then people will stop buying the foreign-made item and purchase its domestic counterpart. Restrictions on the numbers of certain specified goods that can enter the country from abroad are called quotas. Like protective tariffs, quotas limit the amount of foreign competition a protected industry will have to face.

Trade and payments across national borders require that one of the parties to the transaction contract to pay or receive funds in a foreign currency. At some stage, one party must convert domestic money into foreign money. Moreover, knowledgeable investors based in each country are aware of the opportunities of buying assets or selling debts denominated in foreign currencies when the anticipated returns are higher abroad or when the interest costs are lower. These investors also must use the foreign exchange market whenever they invest or borrow abroad. The foreign exchange market is the largest market in the world in terms of the volume of transactions. That the volume of foreign exchange trading is many times larger than the volume of international trade and investment reflects that a distinction should be made between transactions that involve only banks and those that involve banks, individuals, and firms involved in international trade and investment.

Pest outbreaks can contribute either directly or indirectly to economic and environmental losses. Insects and diseases can have adverse effects on tree growth and survival, yield and quality of wood and non-wood products, wildlife habitat, recreation and scenic and cultural value. Yet they are integral components of forests. 2. Invasive plant species can also cause damage through competition and prevention of regeneration of native tree species, posing new challenges especially to the in situ conservation of forest biological diversity. Pollution is another threat to forest health and vitality. 3. Insects and diseases influence the health of natural and planted forests, trees also outside forests and other wooded lands. Movement of insects and diseases has been facilitated by increased long-range air travel and reduced travel time, increased international trade of agricultural and forest products, and the exchange of plant material. Forest pests can be extremely destructive, as seen in recent years in both developed and developing countries. Ответьте на вопрос What does forest health depend on?

Прочитайте текст и выполните задания What is a crime? 1. Crime is a part of public law — the law regulating the relations between citizens and the state. Crimes are acts which the state considers to be wrong and which can be punished by the state. There are some acts which are crimes in one country but not in another. For example, it is a crime to drink alcohol in Saudi Arabia, but not in Egypt. It is a crime to smoke marijuana in England, but not (in prescribed places) in the Netherlands. It is a crime to have more than one wife at the same time in France, but not in Indonesia. 2. In general, however, there is quite a lot of agreement among states as to which acts are criminal. A visitor to a foreign country can be sure that stealing, physically attacking someone or damaging their property will be unlawful. But the way of dealing with people suspected of crime may be different from his own country. 3. In many legal systems it is an important principle that a person cannot be considered guilty of a crime until the state proves he committed it. The suspect himself need not prove anything, although he will of course help himself if he can show evidence of his innocence. The state must prove his guilt according to high standards and there are elements that must be proved. In codified systems, these elements are usually recorded in statutes. In common law systems, the elements of some crimes are detailed in statutes; others, known as «common law crimes», are still described mostly in case law. 4. There are usually two important elements to a crime: (1) the criminal act itself; and (2) the criminal state of mind of the person when he committed the act. In Anglo-American law these are known by the Latin terms of (1) Actus Reus and (2) Mens Rea.Ответьте на вопрос When can a person be considered guilty?

The legal process that concerns relations among nations is called international law. International law serves the international community; international law is about the relations between independent states. It treats them as equals, whatever their population, wealth and power. International law aims at stability in international life and the encouragement of trade and other contacts between states. 2. International law is almost wholly based on custom. The precedents on which it rests are the acts of independent governments in their relations with one another, including treaties and conventions. Behind many of its rules is only a moral sanction: the public opinion of the civilized world. When treaties or conventions are involved, however, machinery to enforce them exists – either an arbitration or conciliation procedure or the submission of the dispute to a regional or international court. 3. A body of rules and principles is observed or at least acknowledged in international relations. These rules concern such matters as territorial titles and boundaries, use of the high seas, limits on war, telecommunication, diplomatic and consular exchange, and use of air space. The major sources of international law on these matters are multilateral treaties, international custom, and such general principles recognized by civilized nations. The United Nations is one of the primary mechanisms that articulate and create international law. The General Assembly and other agencies of the UN bring a combination of diplomacy, negotiation and propaganda to bear on world affairs in ways that produce effective international treaties and affect world opinion. Certain courts also have indirect impact, including the International Court of Justice. Domestic courts in various nations at times also engage in the articulation of international law.

9. Manufacturers often streamline production in order to adapt to new developments in the market. Look at this description of a plant for producing potato crisps. What reasons are given for rationalization of the operations of the company?
It was during the 1970’s that the need for additional production facilities became evident. Walkers Crisps had become so popular that demand often outstripped production capacity. At the same time, technology was changing and more sophisticated machinery was beginning to become available.
It was an ideal opportunity to take a clean sheet, to create a purpose designed factory on a green field site. Here was the chance to build a facility which would encourage greater efficiency, in a better working environment.
Operating efficiency was to be a prime consideration. The latest technology was to be incorporated in a logical sequence to ensure economy of operation. The 450 employees were to be well catered for, with 1500m 2 of offices, laboratories, locker and laundry rooms, and canteen facilities available for all. Protection was also to be given to the local community with careful control of emissions and waste disposal.
The four lines now operating represent a carefully scheduled combination of human skill and experience with high technology and automation.
10. As you read the introductory passage mark whether the following statements are true [√] or false [x].
1. Production facilities were adequate.
2. Sophisticated machinery was expensive.
3. It was a good time to create a specially built plant.
4. Priority was given to creating a larger work environment.
5. Systematic arrangement of machinery would make production more economic.
6. The welfare of the employees was taken care of.
7. The local community protected their environment.

Baccara. Yes Sir, I Can Boogie. Да, сэр, я танцую
Эквиритмический перевод песни «Yes Sir, I Can Boogie» испанской группы Baccara с альбома «Baccara» (1977).
С 22 октября 1977 года песня возглавляла британский чарт «UK Singles Chart» в течение 1 недели.
Майте Матеос (Mayte Mateos) окончила Королевскую Испанскую Академию Искусств по классу «Драма и танец» и была принята в балет испанского телевидения, где познакомилась с танцовщицей Марией Мендиолой (Maria Mendiola). В 1976 году девушки решили создать вокально-танцевальный дуэт Venus («Венера»), и под этим названием впервые выступили по испанскому телевидению. Позже они устроились в отеле на острове Фуэртевентура из Канарского архипелага, где развлекали туристов народными песнями и танцами. Там их заметил менеджер германского филиала RCA Леон Дин (Leon Deane) и пригласил в Гамбург на прослушивание к голландскому продюсеру Рольфу Соя (Rolf Soja). Соя создал для дуэта всё: от названия Baccara, означающего сорт розы, ставшей логотипом группы, до имиджа (Матеос в чёрном, а Мендиола в белом) и стиля, состоящего из мелодий фламенко, наложенных на диско-ритм, с ведущим вокалом Матеос и мощной поддержкой Мендиолы на бэк-вокале и в припевах. Кроме того, он познакомил девушек со своим соавтором Фрэнком Досталем (Frank Dostal), с которым написал большую часть песен группы. Первый же сингл «Yes Sir, I Can Boogie» («Да, сэр, я танцую буги» 1977) стал международным хитом, возглавив хит-парады большинства европейских стран, в том числе Великобритании. Он стал первым примером феномена, названного потом «летний хит», когда песня звучит повсюду и становится символом года в воспоминаниях. Сингл был продан в 16 млн.экз. и дуэт попал в Книгу Гиннесса, как самый продаваемый женский дуэт на то время. Кроме того, группа стала первым женским дуэтом на вершине британского чарта и единственным испанским исполнителем там до Хулио Иглесиаса через 4 года. Успех закрепил второй сингл «Sorry, I’m a Lady» («Простите, я дама» 1977)(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-rlXGvMiNA) (http://www.stihi.ru/), опять покоривший европейские чарты, а в британском занявший 8 место. Обе песни вошли в дебютный альбом «Baccara» (1977), ставший формулой евро-диско. В 1978 году дуэт, представляя Люксембург, занял седьмое место на Евровидении с песней «Parlez-Vous Fran;ais?» («Вы говорите по-французски?» 1978)(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayiHyVR4DXY) (http://www.stihi.ru/), французская версия которой вошла во второй альбом группы «Light My Fire» («Разожги мой огонь» 1978) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtXUR4ZDwSU) (http://www.stihi.ru/), заглавная песня которого является своеобразной диско-обработкой песни группы Doors (http://www.stihi.ru/2017/08/19/9320). В 1980 году Мария Мендиола со скандалом потребовала изъять из продажи сингл «Sleepy-Time-Toy» (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDquKVyv2cg) (http://www.stihi.ru/) и даже подала в суд на звукозаписывающую компанию, так как её голос был практически не слышен на записи. Она выиграла суд, сингл был перезаписан, но провалился, а Рольф Соя и Фрэнк Досталь отказались дальше работать с Марией Мендиолой. Последний 4-й альбом «Bad Boys» («Плохие парни» 1981), записанный с другим продюсером, также провалился, и девушки занялись сольными карьерами, хотя сохранили дружеские отношения. Так 1982 году Майте Матеус пригласила на свою свадьбу Марию, причём та познакомилась там со своим будущим мужем. Майте продолжила сотрудничать с Рольфом Соя, выпустила 3 сольных альбома, а в 1983 году возродила Баккару с ещё одной подругой по Испанскому балету Марисой Перес (Marisa Pеrez), но в 1987 году Перес ушла к Марии Мендиоле, создав дуэт New Baccara. Майте продолжила менять партнёрш (всего их было около 20) и в 1999 году с Кристиной Севиллой (Cristina Sevilla) записала альбом под названием Baccara 2000, т.к. имя Baccara в то время носила уже группа Мендиолы и Перес. Она также пыталась отобраться на Евровидение-2004 от Швеции, но не прошла конкурс. В 2008 году Севилла заменила заболевшую Перес в дуэте с Мендиолой, а Майте нашла опять новую партнёршу. Обе группы продолжают выступать и записывать в основном новые версии старых хтитов, и чаще всего «Yes Sir, I Can Boogie».
ДА, СЭР, Я ТАНЦУЮ БУГИ
(перевод Евгения Соловьева)
О, да, сэр, я танцую
Буги, если вы не прочь.
Протанцую буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
Да сэр, я танцую
Буги и могу помочь.
Протанцуем буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
Нет, сэр,
Я не люблю бесед от скуки,
Как и прогулки.
Умею ли я танцевать?
Да, сэр,
Уже сказала я в куплете.
В припеве эти
Слова я повторю опять.
О, да, сэр, я танцую
Буги, если вы не прочь.
Протанцую буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
Да сэр, я танцую
Буги и могу помочь.
Протанцуем буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
Да, сэр, если буги,
То я танцевать не прочь
Без натуги буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
Да, сэр, если буги,
То я танцевать не прочь
Без натуги буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
Да сэр, если буги,
То сумею я помочь.
Будем в круге буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
Да сэр, если буги,
То сумею я помочь.
Будем в круге буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
Да сэр, если буги,
То сумею я помочь.
Будем в круге буги-вуги
Хоть всю ночь.
