Pop art 
What is art? In the 1960s a collection of artists made that question even more difficult to answer. They created Pop Art, a style of art that represented everybody's everyday experiences. Pop artists were fascinated by realistic images from everyday life that everybody saw. One element of Iife they noticed was that almost all people are consumers who buy and use millions of different things every day. As a result, many Pop artists used images of products from the supermarket or advertisements in their works. 
The most famous Pop artist was the American Andy Warhol. Warhol painted products like Campbell's Soup1 Coca Cola bottles and bananas. He also painted other everyday images. For example, his bright portraits of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, the famous actress, became very fashionable. The British Pop artist Eduardo Paolozzi collected pictures and advertisements from magazines to use in his works. Another well-liked Pop artist was Roy Lichtenstein. Instead of using products or advertisements, most of his works were similar to images in the comic books that children read every day. 
Many people in the art world do not accept Pop Art as a real art form. They can’t see why a dull painting of an ordinary can of soup should be part of an art exhibition. However, many original Pop Art works have sold for millions of dollars. Many works have also appeared on music album covers. All in all, the most important result of Pop Art is that it has created a new artistic way of looking at the everyday world. 
1 Pop artists were interested in people’s everyday experiences.... 
2 Pop art was only in America.... 
3 All Pop artists used images of products in their works.... 
4 Paolozzi was only famous in Britain.... 
5 Marilyn Monroe was a Pop artist who painted celebrities....

Вопрос: Translate the situations into English: 
1. Существует множество легенд о загадочных чудовищах Люди из разных уголков земли сообщают о встречах с ними. Некоторые видят снежного человека, Йети, ростом 2—2,5 метра, с человеческой головой, короткой шеей и длинными руками. B 1966 году заговорили о Мотмане, существе коричневого цвета размером с человека, с огромными крыльями, похожими на крылья мотылька. Несколько очевидцев видели, как он пролетал над городом Чарльстон. Ученые сомневаются, что эти существа реальны, так как, к сожалению, не найдено ни их следов, ни останков (скелетов). 
2. В. И. Суриков написал картину «Боярыня Морозова» в 1887 г., вспоминая детство, проведенное в Сибири. Ha переднем плане мы видим женщину в русской национальной одежде XVII века, полулежащую на санях. Это Феодосия Морозова, Она призывает всех бороться за веру. Ha заднем плане зимний сельский пейзаж, снег и толпа людей. Цвета — естественные, преимущественно синий, белый и черный. Контраст делает картину очень реалистичной.

Ответы:
1. There are a lot of legends about various mysterious monsters. People from different places of the world report sightings of them. Some see Snowman, Yates, rising to two or two and a half meters in height with a man-like head, a short neck and very long arms. In 1966 for the first time people reported the sighting of Mothman, a brown man-sized creature with giant moth-like wings. Several witnesses saw him flying over Charleston. Scientists doubt that these creatures exist as unfortunately no one has found their prints or skeletons.
2. V.I. Surikov painted the picture "Boyarynya Morozova" in 1887 in memory of his childhood which he spent in Siberia. In the foreground we see a woman in the national Russian costume of the 17th century who is half lying on the sledge.
It is Feodosia Morozova. She asks/appeals to everybody to fight for the Faith. In the background we see winter countryside, snow and a crowd of people. The colours are mostly blue, white and black in natural shades. The contrast makes the picture realistic.

Вопрос: Complete the text using: figurative, emotional, home, household, artificial. 
Do you think it is possible to have an 1) emotional response to a robot, such as love? Well, robot researchers do! In a few decades, some think we may have 2) household robots that look like humans, a a like humans and even talk using 3) figurative speech like humans! We will feel for these robots the way we feel about other humans and animals. 
However, scientists probably need to create an 4) artificial brain before machines are able to think, and this is no easy task. But if you doubt that this will happen, stop and think: who could have predicted 100 years ago that 5) home computers and the Internet would exist?

Текст аудирования: 
Speaker 1 
My little brother and sister always use my computer, and I don’t like it at all! I don’t mind them using it for homework, but it really gets on my nerves when they download music and games from unknown sites and my computer ends up with all sorts of viruses. I told them that from now on they can only use my PC if I’m there to see what they’re doing. 
Speaker 2 
I know that many people believe computers are here to make life easier, but I do not agree. Last week, I was typing up my history project. I had typed four pages and I was on the last one, when my computer crashed. All that work gone! I know I should have saved it as I was typing, but I didn’t. All I know is that I had to write everything all over again! 
Speaker 3 
I can’t imagine my life without my computer. I use my laptop for hours every day: chatting with friends, downloading music and surfing the Net. I find it’s the best way to stay informed and communicate with my friends. I don’t know how people managed before the invention of the Internet! 
Speaker 4 
You really have to be careful about viruses when downloading music from the Internet. Last Saturday I was downloading a song from a new site I had discovered, when my computer crashed. I tried to reboot, but nothing. I called my cousin who is good with computers and he came over and fixed it. He even installed new anti-virus software to protect my computer. 
Speaker 5 
I really think more schools should start teaching students all about computers. Some people think that computers are taking over our lives, but I disagree. Computers make life easier. With just a click of the mouse you can find information about everything, explore different countries and keep in touch with family and friends.

Вопрос: Read the opinion essay below and list the viewpoints and their supporting reasons/examples. 
THE INTERNET: FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE? 
Nowadays, at work or at home, a large number of people use the Internet. It is clear that the Internet is hugely popular, but has it really improved our lives? 
In my opinion, it has, and will continue to improve our lives as more and more people become connected around the world. 
First of all, the Internet has increased our ability to communicate. We no longer need to use letters (or 'snail-mail') to contact people. On the Internet, you can send an email to a person on the other side of the world, and they will receive it immediately. 
Furthermore, the Net gives us instant access to information and knowledge. If you want to know something you no longer need to go to the library or ask a teacher. For example, you can type a question in an Internet search engine and it will look for a site that will help you answer it. Anyone with Internet access has information that can help them improve their knowledge of the world at their fingertips. 
On the other hand, some people believe that the Internet is anti-social and has actually worsened our lives. They complain about sites on the Internet that cause anti-social behaviour. For example, they say some sites encourage violent behaviour. 
In conclusion, it is clear that the Internet has changed our lives forever. I believe that it has greatly improved our lives by allowing us to communicate faster and giving us access to information. However, we should not forget that the Internet is a powerful tool, and like any powerful tool it can be used for good as well as bad. It is up to us to choose.
