CROCROSSWORDS
The crossword (puzzle) first appeared on December 21, 1913. Arthur Wynne created it
for the New York World newspaper. Wynne gave 35 clues and called it a word-cross. The
puzzle was a great success. The cross-word, as it called today, is the world’s most popular
game. Nearly 90 percent of the world’s newspapers publish them. In the United States there are
nearly thirty million fans of this game.
Most forms of games require a partner. Crosswords do not. This is, perhaps, the reason
why they attract so much attention.
Why do people do crosswords? Maybe for educational value. Most fans say that they
play crosswords to check their abilities and their speed in doing the puzzle. The more they play,
the more they become to solve the most difficult crosswords.
But most experts doubt that puzzles teach anything. They say the most evident reason
why the crosswords are played is that they are done just for fun.

ТЕСТ №3
There was once a very rich sick lady whose husband had died, and whose children had
married and gone to live in foreign countries. When she reached the age of 80 and was too old
to look after herself, she went to live in an expensive and comfortable hotel near the sea in the
south. This rich old lady had a pair of nasty dogs which she loved dearly. They lived in the
hotel with her and went wherever she did. There was a young waiter at the hotel who did
everything he could to help the old lady and be nice to her. He even pretended to like her
unpleasant dogs and offered to look after them in his free time. He fed them, cleaned and
looked after them, took them for daily walks for some years.
The young waiter did not doubt that when the rich widow died she would leave him a
lot of money, to pay him for everything that he had done for her dogs. But when she died a few

Mr. Jones liked to be comfortable, so when he gets into a train he always puts his
suitcase on the seat beside him and pretends that it belonged to another passenger who had
gone to buy something in the station.

the train in all the other seats except the one which his suitcase was lying on. Then an old

“Answered Mr. Jones. “ A friend of mine is travelling with me, he has gone to buy some
cigarettes, he will return soon.” “All right,” said the old gentleman. “I’ll sit here until your
friend comes back. And then I’ll stand somewhere.” And he sat down after he had put the
suitcase on the shelf above him.
Several minutes passed, the whistle blew, and the train began to move. The old
gentleman jumped up suddenly and said, “I’m very sorry but your friend seems to have missed

TEST 9
Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though
people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is known that many of these "monsters"
which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish. Occasionally unusual creatures are
washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar
fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing-boat was carried miles out to sea by the
powerful fish as it pulled on the line. Realising that this was no ordinary fish, the fishermen
made every effort not to damage it in any way. When it was eventually brought to shore it was
found to be over 13 feet long. It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shining silver skin, and a
bright red tail. The fish, which has since been sent to a museum, where it is being examined by
the scientists, is called an oar-fish.
Such creatures have rarely been seen alive by men as they live at depth of 600 feet

Charles Dickens was very fond of children. One morning he was walking in the little
square opposite his house in London. On a bench he saw a little girl who wasj>laying with a
big doll. Suddenly the doll fell on the ground and broke. The girl began to cry. Dickens went
up to her and said: "Come to my house, little girl, and we shall see -if we can find another
doll there."

TEST 13
A hundred years ago, the lamplighters in London were very busy men. It was their job ,
every evening, to light thousands of gas lamps in the city and the gentle light from those lamps
was all that lit the foggy streets of Victorian London.
Nowadays, there are electric lamps in most London. They switch themselves on and off
automatically and do the job of the lamplighter.
But some parts of London still have their traditional gas lamps which look just the same,
though there is an automatic clock in them for switching them on and off.
So the lamplighter has just to reset it in each lamp once a week. There are 1.100 gas lamps in
London. Most of them are in the parks and outside the Royal palaces. The Queen likes to
preserve certain things coming down from the old good times and has gas lights outside
Buckingham Palace. Westminster, the home of the Houses of the Parliament, has 400 , more
than any other part of the capital. Naturally, traditions are important in that part of London
and especially at the Temple where a lamplighter still goes round every evening to light the
gas lamps by hand.

a) No, they aren't used any longer.
b) Yes, they are used all over London.
c) Yes, they are still used in some parts of London.
2. Do the modern gas lamps look like the old ones?
a) No, they are altogether different.
b) Yes, they are rather alike.
c) Yes, they look quite the same.
3. How many gas lamps are there in London nowadays?
40
a) half a thousand
b) over a thousand
c) about two hundred
4. What do they still keep the gas lamps for?
a) for lighting up the streets
b) for saving electric lighting
c) for keeping tradition alive
5. In which part of London are there more gas lamps now?

TEST 14
Work plays a very important role in Japan. A Japanese
says, "I belong to my company" and not "I work for my company". So a Japanese child,
especially a boy, must work very hard, indeed. He begins to study seriously as soon as he
starts going to school because if he doesn't pass all his exams he can't go to a good school and
later to a good university - and so he can't get the good job he needs!
Because of this system Japanese children don't have as much time to play as children in
most Western societies.
43
A lot of Japanese parents "arrange" marriages for their children. This is because they feel
that marriage affects not only the young people, but the whole family. They believe that young
people should have the same interests and social background to be happy after their
marriage.
Sometimes parents go to a "matchmaker" whose job is to find a good pair and arrange
for them to meet. If they like each other they get married. A lot of arranged marriages are very
successful and help the tradition of the Japanese family to continue.
1. When does a Japanese begin to study seriously?
a) before he starts going to school
I
b) as soon as he begins to attend school

a) to pass his exams and enter a good university.

3. Do Japanese children have as much spare time as children in Western countries?
a) No, they have no spare time at all.
b) Yes, they have a lot of time to spare for playing.
c) No, they have less spare time than children in Western countries.
4. When does a Japanese marry?
a) when he graduates from a university
b) when he falls in love
c) when his parents find a good match for him '
5. Are "arranged" marriages successful?
a) Yes, in most cases, they are quite a success.

One day Peter Johnson had to go out and could not take his dog with him, so he asked
his girl-friend to look after the dog. She agreed, but when she was in another room, the dog
chewed up several things and among them was the book by that famous writer with his
signature. The girl was very upset and looked for that book in many bookshops. At last she

TEST 16
It must have been about two in the morning when Henry returned home. He was coming
from a party given by his friend to celebrate his moving into a new flat.
Victoria, his wife said she was tired of his being so sociable and declared she wanted to
have a rest.
So Henry content with the evening spent among his friends rang the doorbell. But
nobody answered the ring. In vain hе tried to wake his wife up. Half an hour later the
neighbours, their babies and their pets were awake, but he was still calling his wife to open the
door.
Then he got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall and began
climbing towards the bedroom window. He was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said: "I
don't think the windows need cleaning at this hour of the night."
Henry looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when he saw a policeman. He immediately
regretted answering in the way he did, but he said , "I enjoy cleaning windows at night." "So
do I", answered the policeman in the same tone. "But would you mind coming with me to the
station?"
50
"Well, I'd prefer to stay here", said Henry, "You see, I've forgotten my key".

upstairs to her bedroom to do some cleaning. But she was too excited to do any housework that
morning, for in the evening she would be going out with her husband to a fancy-dress ball.
She intended to be dressed as a ghost. And as she had made her costume the previous night, she
wanted to try it on.
After putting it on, Mrs Richards went downstairs to see if it would be comfortable to

change her dress she hid herself in a store-room under the stairs.
The baker entered the house and finding nobody in put the bread on the table as he had
been told. On leaving the house he mixed the doors and opened the store-room door. He let out a

TEST 18
By midday, the small party of boys, led by their schoolmaster , had reached a height of
2500 feet. At this point the
party had to stop climbing because one of the boys became seriously ill. The only thing the
master could do was to return to the mountain hut where they had spent the night. From there
he telephoned the police. As no rescue party could reach the boy quickly enough, the Royal
Air Force Rescue Centre sent a helicopter with a policeman and a doctor on board. The
helicopter soon arrived on the scene, but the sides of the mountain were so steep that it could
not land. A helicopter usually lands on four wheels , but it can also land on two. However, the
slope was too steep even for that. The pilot, therefore, kept the helicopter in the air with only
one wheel touching the mountain-side while the party carried the boy on board.

TEST 19
People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "White collar workers" for the
simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. A great many people are
60

can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a
dustman. When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his
job. Every morning, he left home dressed in a fine black suit. He then changed into overalls
and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a
shower and changed back into his suit. Alf's wife never discovered that she had married a
dustman. Alf has now found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior
clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is
well' worth the loss of money.

up and artificial blood had been used to make the injuries look realistic. A lot of people were
