I . РАБОТА НАД ТЕКСТОМ

Поскольку основной целевой установкой обучения иностранному языку является получение информации из иноязычного источника, особое внимание следует уделять чтению текстов. Понимание текста достигается при осуществлении двух видов чтения:

1) изучающего чтения;

2) чтения с общим охватом содержания.

Точное и полное понимание текста осуществляется путем изучающего чтения, которое предполагает умение самостоятельно проводить лексико-грамматический анализ текста. Итогом изучающего чтения является адекватный перевод текста на родной язык с помощью словаря. При этом следует развивать навыки пользования отраслевыми терминологическими словарями и словарями сокращений.

Читая текст, предназначенный для понимания общего содержания, необходимо, не обращаясь к словарю, понять основной смысл прочитанного.

Оба вида чтения складываются из следующих умений: а) догадываться о значении незнакомых слов на основе словообразовательных признаков и контекста; б) видеть интернациональные слова и определять их значение; в) находить знакомые грамматические формы и конструкции и устанавливать их эквиваленты в русском языке; г) использовать имеющийся в тексте иллюстрированный материал, схемы, формулы и т.п.; д) применять знания по специальным, общетехническим, общеэкономическим предметам в качестве основы смысловой и языковой догадки.

LONDON

London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and commercial centre. It is one of the largest cities in the world and the largest city in Europe. Its population is about 8 million. London is one of the oldest and most interesting cities in the world. Traditionally it is divided into several parts: the City, Westminster, the West End and the East End.

The heart of London is the City, its financial and business centre. Numerous banks, offices and firms are situated there. Few people live here, but over a million people come to the City to work. There are some famous ancient buildings within the City. Perhaps the most striking of them is St Paul's Cathedral, the greatest of English churches. The Tower of London was founded by Julius Caesar and in 1066 rebuilt by William the Conqueror. It was used as a fortress, a royal palace and a prison. Now it is a museum.

Westminster is the historic, the governmental part of London. Westminster Abbey has more historic associations than any other building in Britain, Nearly all English kings and queens have been crowned here. Many outstanding statesmen, scientists, writers, poets and painters are buried here: Newton, Darwin, Chaucer, Dickens, Tennyson, Kipling, etc.

Across the road from Westminster Abbey is Westminster Palace, or the Houses of Parliament, the seat of the British Parliament. The Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament is famous for its big hour bell, known as "Big Ben". Buckingham Palace is the official residence of the Queen.

The West End is the richest and most beautiful part of London. It is the symbol of wealth and luxury. The best hotels, shops, restaurants, clubs, and theatres are situated there. There are splendid houses and lovely gardens belonging to wealthy people.

Trafalgar Square is the geographical centre of London. It was named in memory of Admiral Nelson's victory in the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The tall Nelson's Column stands in the middle of the square.

On the north side of Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. Not far away is the British Museum — the biggest museum in London. It contains a priceless collection of ancient manuscripts, coins, sculptures, etc, and is famous for its library.

The East End is the poorest district of London. There are a lot of factories, workshops and docks here. The streets are narrow, the buildings are unimpressive. The East End is densely populated by working class families.

MOSCOW

Moscow is the capital of Russia, its political, economic, commercial and cultural centre. It was founded 8 centuries ago by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky. In the 13th century Moscow was the centre of the struggle of Russian lands for the liberation from the tartar yoke. In the 16th century under Ivan the Terrible Moscow became the capital of the new united state. Though Peter the Great moved the capital to St Petersburg in 1712, Moscow remained the heart of Russia. After the October revolution Moscow became the capital again.

Now Moscow is one of the largest cities in Europe. Its total area is about nine hundred square kilometers. The population of the city is over 8 million.

Moscow is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The heart of Moscow is Red Square. It has more historic associations than any other place in Moscow. The Kremlin and St Basil's Cathedral (Vastly Blazheny) are masterpieces of ancient Russian architecture. The main Kremlin tower, the Spasskaya Tower, has become the symbol of the country. On the territory of the Kremlin you can see old cathedrals, the Bell Tower of Ivan the Great, the Palace of Congresses, the Tzar-Cannon and the Tzar-Bell, the biggest cannon and bell in the world. St Basil's Cathedral was built in the mid-16th century in memory of the victory over Kazan.

There are a lot of beautiful palaces, old mansions, cathedrals, churches and monuments in Moscow. Now Moscow is being reconstructed and we all hope that in a few years the city will become even more beautiful.

There are more than 80 museums in Moscow. The largest museums are the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and the State Tretyakov Gallery. Other unique museums in Moscow include the All-Russia Museum of Folk Arts, the Andrei Rublev Museum of Early Russian Art, Alexei Bakhrushin Theatre Museum, Mikhail Glinka Museum of Musical Culture and many others.

WASHINGTON , DC

Washington is the capital of the United States of America. It is situated in the District of Columbia and is like no other city of the USA. It's the world's largest industry city. And that industry is government. The White House, where the US President lives and works, the Capitol, the home of the US Congress, and the Supreme Court, are all in Washington.

Washington was named after the first US President George Washington. He selected the place for the capital and Pierre L'Enfant, a French engineer, designed the city.

Washington was first settled in 1790 and since 1800 it has been the Federal capital.

Washington is one of the most beautiful and unusual cities in the United States. In the very centre of it rises the huge dome of the Capitol — a big white dome standing on a circle of pillars. The 535 members of the Congress meet here to discuss the nation's affairs. It's easy to get lost in this huge building, full of paintings and statues.

Not far from the Capitol is the Library of Congress, the largest library in the States. It contains more than 13 million books, more than 19 million manuscripts, including the personal papers of the US presidents.

The White House is the official residence of the US President. He works in the Oval Office.

One can hardly find a park, a square or an open area in Washington without a monument or a memorial. The most impressive and the best-known ones are the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.

There are some important museums in Washington where you can see all kinds of things: famous paintings and sculptures, the dresses of President’s wives, the original of the Declaration of Independence, the largest blue diamond in the world, etc.

There are 5 universities in Washington.

There are no skyscrapers in Washington, because they would hide the city's many monuments from view. No building in the city may be more than 40 meters tall.

Thousands of tourists visit Washington every day. People from all parts of the United States come to see their capital.

ST. PETERSBURG

St Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great as the «Window to the West». St Petersburg, a city of great beauty, with palaces, cathedrals, churches, and government buildings became the capital.

Under later rulers the new capital of the Russian Empire grew rapidly in wealth and beauty. Architects were brought from Western Europe to lay out the city in harmonious squares. Buildings were constructed of grey and rose-colored granite. The Hermitage Palace and the Winter Palace, the homes of the tsars, were equal to any in Europe.

When the First World War began in 1914, the German-sounding name, St Petersburg, was changed to Petrograd. After the Great October Revolution the city was renamed after Lenin.

During the Great Patriotic War the city suffered a great deal. The German armies laid siege to it in 1941, and for the next year and a half it was cut off from the rest of the country. No-food could be brought in, and people died of starvation; Daily shelling and air raids destroyed parts of the city, thousands of people were killed. Rebuilding took years.

Now St. Petersburg is an important industrial, cultural and educational centre. The population of the city is over 5 million.

St Petersburg is indeed a wonderful city. At every turn there is something to catch your eye. The Winter Palace, the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, St Isaac's Cathedral, the Peter-and-Paul Fortress, the Admiralty building attract thousands of tourists from every comer of the world.

Petersburg's many museums house some of the world's famous art collections. The Hermitage, for example, contains the richest collection of pictures in the world. The city is called Northern Venice because there are 65 rivers and canals there with artistically decorated bridges. It's also famous for its beautiful white nights.

NEW YORK

New York is a city where all the languages of the world are spoken and where people live on the ground, travel under the ground and work in the sky.

New York makes a great impression on all visitors because of its many high buildings, its theatres, museums and hotels, its beautiful bridges, and its expensive shops with their fabulous prices.

The first permanent white settlers came to New York from Holland in 1626. These Dutch settlers bought all of Manhattan Island from the Indians for the equivalent of twenty-five dollars, while today some of this land costs a million dollars an acre. This island is the heart of the city.

It is on Manhattan Island that most of the skyscrapers are located. This island is connected by six long bridges, as well as by tunnels and ferries, with the other four districts that constitute New York City.

New York is the largest city in the United States. Today there are more people living in the New York City than in Australia, Peru or Sweden.

For transportation New York depends mainly on buses, the subway, taxis and ferries. The buses are slow because of the crowded streets, whereas the subway train can go as fast as railroad trains, sometimes stopping only at the most important stations. We may go all day by the subway for the same fare, if we only change trains but do not go out of the stations.

New York moves vertically as well as horizontally, taking its people by elevator to their offices on the fortieth, sixtieth, and eightieth floor.

New York is the richest and the poorest, the most modern and the most old-fashioned of cities. It is the home of expensive hotels and cheap boarding houses, the home of symphonies and popular jazz, of cathedrals and night clubs; the home of the famous Metropolitan Opera and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the home of most of the largest publishing houses of the United States and the biggest newspapers. On the Fifth Avenue there are many expensive stores of international fame, but around the comer one may find little shops where imitation diamonds and cheap souvenirs are sold.

PIG BREEDING

The most common rearing system is to leave the piglets with the sow until they are 6 to 8 weeks old. The sow and her litter can be housed in a rearing hut and run on a concrete yard, or reared completely indoors in a pen, or moved out into a clean field and given a rearing hut when the piglets are 10 to 14 days old.

For the first 3 weeks of its life the piglet is almost entirely dependent on its mother's milk. That is why she should be well fed at this time. Infra-red lamps are a great aid in the successful rearing of young pigs.

In order to achieve good weaning weights most farmers give piglets creep food in addition to the sow's milk. Food is first offered in clean, low, metal troughs in the creep when the piglets are between 2 and 3 weeks of age. Initially, scattering a little food on the floor near the troughs will encourage the piglets to start eating. The food provided must be fresh and palatable, and is usually fed dry. Water must be provided in a clean trough close to the food.

Whether the pigs are intended for bacon or pork, the feeding from weaning until they reach 100 (45 kg) or 120 lb (54kg) in weight is the same. The food must be palatable to encourage the pigs to eat the maximum amount, and it must be nutritious and particularly well fortified with protein, minerals and vitamins. So, barley or maize meals are much to be preferred to oats.

From about 120 lb (54 kg) live weight onwards, the feeding of pigs will be varied according to the market for which they are intended.

Bacon pigs are sold at between 190 lb and 210 lb (86 kg and 95 kg) live weight and they must be lengthy animals without excessive quantities of fat. The difficulty is to produce a relatively lean animal at a stage in its life when it would normally be laying down fat. That is why the production of bacon demands the greatest skill in breeding, feeding and management.

SHEEP REARING

The success in sheep rearing is largely dependent upon the choice of a suitable breed of ewe and ram.

Having decided upon the breed of ram, various points must be looked at in selecting a suitable animal. He must be free from disease and foot troubles and must have no broken or missing teeth.

Excessively fat rams are lazy and may temporarily be sterile. The animal must also be well-grown and mature. These points are especially important if a ram-lamb is to be used, that is, one which is under a year old. With a shearing ram, that is, one which has been shorn and is over one year old, these points are less important but much more notice must be taken of whether or not he is fat.

Rams should be selected from the progeny of ewes capable of producing lambs that grow rapidly and produce a good carcass. The only method of ensuring that rams come from prolific and good-mothering strains is to record the performance of a ewe and her offspring.

The aim in selecting a ewe is to get an animal that is prolific and a good mother. Prolificacy, or the ability to produce, if possible, twin-lambs, is influenced by breed as well as by general management. Prolificacy is usually expressed in the form of a lambing percentage. A satisfactory percentage is 150. This means that a flock of 100 ewes produces 150 lambs, some ewes having twins, some triplets, others single lambs.

To judge the mothering ability, one must assess whether a ewe will milk well for at least 8 to 10 weeks, enabling her lamb to grow fast. An important point in selecting breeding ewes concerns their health. Ewes should have sound feet and mouth and have a good udder.

FEEDING OF DAIRY STOCK

A liberal diet is given to the cow in calf for the last 6 or 8 weeks before she is to calve. It is best to prepare the cow slowly so that she has time to build up body reserves. High feeding over a short period is not satisfactory. It should last 2 or 3 months as it is during the last 2 to 3 months of pregnancy that the unborn calf makes its most growth.

Here is one example of a method of feeding giving good results with calves from such breeds as the Ayrshire, Friesian and Shorthorn, or cross-bred calves from these breeds. The calves are removed from their dams, within 12 hours of birth and fed colostrum from a bucket. Alter a few days the colostrum is changed to milk and whole-milk feeding is continued until the end of the second week that is to 14 days of age. During the third week the feed is half milk and half milk substitute mixed with 0.5 gal of warm water and fed twice a day. By about the beginning of the fourth week the changeover to milk substitute will be completed. A little good hay and concentrates should be offered from about 3 weeks of age.

Summer Feeding. In early spring grass is of high feeding value, and particularly rich in amino acids and proteins. It is laxative and has so little fibre at this time that it becomes necessary to give the cow some fibrous material such as hay or good-quality oat or barley straw. As the summer progresses the grass becomes more mature, more fibre is then available for the proper functioning of the rumen.

Concentrates are usually fed in some small degree to dairy herds in the summer-time. They may be absolutely necessary to supplement poor or inadequate grazing, and they may be necessary in the ration of the cow that is in peak production.

Winter Feeding. From time immemorial in winter cattle have been fed on a diet consisting wholly or mainly of hay. The practice of providing hay for winter period for all classes of cattle is still very popular. Despite the fact that other kinds of winter forage as kale, cabbage and a variety of kinds of silage are being used now, hay is still by far the most commonly used winter fodder.

THE GESTATION PERIOD (SHEEP)

A higher lambing percentage will result from raising the level of nutrition of ewes before mating. This is called flushing. Where ewes are fat, flushing is a twofold operation. The first involves heavy stocking on bare pasture for about 2 weeks. This allows ewes to lose any surplus of fat they may carry. In the second stage, they are moved on to good sheep pasture which is stocked at normal rates. Raising the level of nutritious stimulates coming into heat (период течки) and higher percentage of twins may be produced in this case.

During the first three months of the gestation period there is no need, in a normal season, to allow ewes anything but grass. Most grazing is sufficiently productive until late in November to feed a pregnant ewe. During the last two months of the pregnancy period management must be of high standard if good results at lambing time and afterwards are to be expected. As there is only little feeding value in grass in the winter months, supplementary feeding of the ewes must begin about December.

A gradual introduction of the additional feed to the ewes will raise the plane of nutrition and keep pace with the increasing feed demands being made on the part of the foetus. The supplementary feeding consists of good-quality hay, roots, silage. Concentrates are of great importance for the final development of the young lamb and should be introduced to the ewes about 4 weeks before lambing.

It is best to keep ewe and lamb for a day or two in a pen until they have settled and the sheepman is sure the lamb is getting plenty of milk. Two or three days after lambing the ewe and her lamb are to be moved into a field which preferably has been rested from sheep for at least 2 months. Lambs are solely dependent upon their mother's milk for the first 2 to 3 weeks of their lives. In order to maintain a high milk yield the feeding must be sufficient to supply the ewe not only for her own maintenance but also with an adequate remount of nutrients for a good level of milk production.

MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY STOCK

In farming practice the majority of calves are born to dairy cows kept for the production of milk for sale. Therefore, in order to rear calves it is frequently necessary to deprive them of their natural feeding and environment and to rear them in some artificial way.

As soon as the calf is removed from its mother, it is important that there is a dry bedding of straw for the calf to lie on and for it to be well away from draughts.

The first milk, or colostrum, produced by the cow after calving has been designed by nature as a food most suited to the needs of the young calf.

If the calf is left with its mother, it will start to suckle almost as soon as it can stand. With calves being removed from their mothers, the first milk must be provided regularly for at least the first 3 or 4 days.

The first 6 months or so in the life of a calf, whether it be ultimately for beef or dairy, is the most important time in the rearing programme. Good feeding and management at this stage are the best means of ensuring the calf grow quickly for production and profit.

It is very common for a heifer to be bred at the age of about 2 years.

The gestation period of the cow is 280 days. Normally, the cow will calve at 12-monthly intervals.

The calf born in autumn will get most of its food from good nutritious grazing during the first summer. The calves certainly grow faster with some grain, and are also better able to resist disease and parasitic troubles. Up to about 2 lb (0.9 kg) of a mainly cereal mixture per head per day is quite adequate. At the same time, a mineral supplement can conveniently be added to the concentrates. A clean water supply is most important.

It is well-known that the sire is half of the herd. That is why the herd bull must be kept in good breeding condition, especially at the time of service. It is also well-known that the ability to produce milk and butterfat can be transmitted to the offspring through the male as well as through the female.
