I. Прочитайте текст и выберите правильный вариант, продолжающий предложение:

Christmas

Christmas in England is biggest celebration of the year. Quite unlike the New Year's Day, which is usually, dedicated to big and noisy parties Christmas is a home and family holiday. In Western Europe people usually have special Christmas holidays, which last for about ten days. These are used to get ready properly.

Christmas time is the busiest for housewives. Most shops have season sales so they get a wonderful chance to buy lots of useful things and presents much cheaper. You just have to know what you want to buy and where you have to go. There are special services delivering Christmas trees in special pots. These firms take care of the environment and prevent wild trees from being cut down.

Small children believe that on Christmas night Santa Claus travels from chimney to chimney on his deer and brings presents to everyone. That is why to get a present you have to put up a sock next to the fireplace. Of course, in modern houses most flats are equipped with central heating and have no fireplace, which is why children usually put their gift socks next to their beds. This is quite comfortable because you can see what Santa has brought to you as soon as you wake up.

Thanksgiving day

Thanksgiving day is a legal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. This is a family holiday when all the members get together to have a meal. Most people go to church in the morning, and then comes the Thanksgiving dinner at which roasted turkey is usually served.

This holiday is a harvest festival which is thought to be one of the oldest and most popular ones in the world. The first celebration in the United States was held in 1621 when the settlers gathered their first harvest. First people came to New England in Deсember 1620 on a ship called "The Mayflower". The winter was very cold so half of them died during the first months of 1621 of hunger and decease. The settlers weren't good farmers, so they couldn't grow anything by themselves. The Indians whose land it was gave them some seeds of corn which they planted, and the first harvest was very good.

Later Thanksgiving days were celebrated all over the country among the settlers but the dates were different. During the third year of the Civil war in October 1863 President Lincoln proclaimed this holiday to be a national one. And even later, in 1951, the United States Congress fixed this celebration on the fourth Thursday of November.

1. Прочитайте текст и выберите правильный вариант, продолжающий предложение:

NANNY

If both parents go to work it is wise to take on a nanny. Some nannies live in the house where they work, some come in the morning and leave when one of the parents come back home. Having a nanny is not a new idea, most rich families have always had one, even if mothers don't work. Nannies can also work as cleaning ladies or housekeepers, for additional money, of course.

In most European countries there are agencies who send nannies to families. These firms care about their reputation so you practically don't run any risk when you leave your child alone with a new person. Agencies also require some qualifications from the nannies which can be obtained in special colleges or evening classes.

Is it good to leave a child in the charge of a nanny? Parents will say it's wonderful as they can work or go out freely without worrying about their child. Nannies must be content, too - they get reasonable money for doing what they like. The only disadvantage of this is that children spend less time with their parents and get less love and affection. But on the other hand, when a qualified nanny brings your child up you can be sure he or she will become more friendly and less spoilt.

Выберите правильный вариант, продолжающий предложение:

  1. Live with the family they work in;

  2. Having a nanny in the house can be bad because

    2. Parents can go to work without worrying;

    3. Children become more spoilt;

    4. Parents don't see their children very often.

  3. Agencies which send nannies require qualifications because

    1. They don't want to play more money;

    2. They don't like risking;

    3. They care about what people say;

    4. There is a serious competition between nannies.
