Listening Comprehension Test Form 11
Rag Week
When the 12.25 train from Cambridge arrived in London and all the people got put, fifty of them hadn’t got any shoes on their feet. With red faces they hurried along the platform to where a hundred shoes, men’s, women’s and children’s were already waiting. How did they lose them? One of the people, a tall man with his shoes in his hand, explained.
“We were travelling on the train from Cambridge to London when three young men in white coats went into our compartment with important papers from the government. They gave us the paper to look at. Then they explained that a disease was killing all the chickens near Cambridge and the government wanted to stop it. They asked for our shoes and of course we all gave them at once. One of the young men took them along the train to wash them,” said the tall man looking at his shoes, “and for he rest of the journey we sat with our feet on newspapers because the floor was dirty. We arrived in London before he brought them back.”
But there was something he and all the people on the train didn’t know. The young people weren’t from the government. They were only students from the Cambridge University. And here was no disease. It was all a joke. When the train left Cambridge the students walked along the train asking for shoes. When they had about two hundred, they started to give them back. But the train arrived in London and they had a hundred shoes left. So they put them on the platform for the people to find.
This happened during the students’ “rag week”. At English Universities the students study all the year, but one week during the year they keep for jokes. Often people give them money for their jokes and they put all the money together and give it to charity. There was no money for this joke. But of course everyone laughed when they heard what had happened to their shoes.

ЕГЭ по английскому языку (аудирование №11: детальное понимание текста)
Who invented it first?
I’m not really what you would call a patriot, but of course, I love my country. I was born as a result of pure chance on an island off the northern coast of Europe called the United Kingdom — in the southern part of it called England. So I can’t see the reason for being proud of my country. I had nothing to do with its history or achievements. I just happened to be born there. If I was born in France or America or Russia, maybe I would feel differently. I don’t know. But as with most English people I’m not really into waving flags or boasting about achievements in one field or another. We’re happy enough to celebrate Ireland’s St Patrick’s Day on the 17th of March or even the 4th of July for the Americans but we’re not too fussed about our own national day — St George’s — on the 23rd of April.
Nevertheless, I do find it as a minimum interesting how many inventions were discovered in the UK. Over the past 50 years, according to Japanese research, more than 40 per cent of discoveries taken up on a worldwide basis originated in the United Kingdom. Many of these
British inventions have had an enormous impact on the world. For example, imagine how different life would be today if Michael Faraday hadn’t built the first simple electrical generator or if James Watt hadn’t developed the steam engine?
I also find it interesting and even more amusing to see the international arguments over who invented what, especially between the UK and the USA. For example, the Americans claim the first powered flight as their invention for the Wright brothers in 1903. But the British claim that the invention belonged to a British man, Percy Pilcher, who designed and built a powered aeroplane in 1899. Unfortunately, Pilcher died before being able to fly it, but he was still (the Brits say) the inventor.
The Americans, similarly, claim that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. But Sir Joseph Swan of Newcastle announced that he had made a working light bulb on the 18th of December, 1878 and on the 18th of January, 1879 he gave a public demonstration in Sunderland — 10 months before Edison. The Americans say it was just a working model and not a commercial reality, but then they would say that, wouldn’t they?
The first telephone message was made at 5 Exeter Place, Boston, Massachusetts on the 10th of March, 1876. Alexander Graham Bell called to his assistant, ‘Come here, Watson, I want you.’ The rest is history. But Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He moved to Canada for health reasons when he was 23, and only then migrated to the USA. He was British, so Brits can rightly claim the telephone as a British invention.
In 1896 Guglielmo Marconi won even greater fame for sending a wireless telegraph over 94 miles. But David Edward Hughes, born in London of Welsh parents, is recorded as the first person in the world to transmit and receive radio waves in 1879. Yet another British first!
So forget the Wright Brothers, Marconi and Thomas Edison. All they had was good PR. In their own quiet, modest way the Brits were always first there. As if it had anything to do with me or as if I really care!

Script 1
London often gives the impression of being more comfortable with the past than its present. From the world-famous landmarks of St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London to the traditional and well-loved double-decker buses, the theatres and the many grand hotels, England’s capital offers visitors a journey through centuries of history. This journey is even better now that the building works, which covered many historic sites have been taken down. Newly cleaned and restored buildings are revealed, and the city looks as if it has been revitalized.
The city has also rediscovered its river. The area between the South Bank Arts Center, which includes the National Theatre and Tower Bridge, has been brought back to life, and the city has found a new heart along the forgotten riverside. As you walk eastwards along the river from Westminster, you will discover that old warehouses have been transformed into galleries, shops and clubs.
Across the river from London Bridge is ‘the City of London’, the financial district of the capital. The City has its own historic delights, such as the 15″‘ century Guildhall and churches designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The best way to explore the City is on foot. For instance, you can «walk through the ages»‘ starting from Fournier Street and ending at the modem Lloyd’s building on Lime Street . Remember, however, that in London you are never far away from the past; the old-fashioned red telephone boxes are becoming popular again, and many London pubs — where a visitor might ask for a pint of bitter — have been restored to their original Victorian beauty.
But the capital is not a historical theme park. It is a lively and exciting metropolis which is well-known for its popular culture, music, clubs, street fashion and visual arts. Today many of its wide variety of restaurants claim to be as good as any other European capitals. For example, Marco Pier Whites is highly recommended restaurant of the Hyde Park Hotel is a perfect example of new English quisine — unusual sophisticated and extremely expensive.
When it comes to shopping Covent Garden and King’s Road in Chelsea offer a mixture of reasonably priced chain store clothing and unique boutiques selling anything from rave gear to skateboards. Shoppers with full wallets and more sophisticated tastes should head for Knightsbridge where Harrods and Harvey Nichols compete to be the most exclusive department store in London.
Much of London’s energy and originality is now centered in Soho — the city’s liveliest and most bohemian area squeezed in between the department stores of Oxford Street and the bookshops of Charring Cross Road. Soho, once considered one of the most dirtiest and dangerous parts of London was cleaned up in the early 1980s. Today with its gurgling cappuccino machines and pavement cafes it has become a meeting place for all kinds of people from all over the world whatever the hour of day or night. So even if you are new to the city yon don’t have to tr\ hard in order to experience the real London. Despite its heavy traffic and shaking underground railway, it is still one of the world’s greatest and most cosmopolitan cities.

Script 2
Hеllo and welcome to another edition of our programme, ‘Living today’. On today’s programme, I’ll be talking to you about nutrition for people who are not used to having to think about it — perhaps you’ve just gone off to college, or you’re living alone for the first time — these are the people I’m mainly talking to. But if you’re not one of them, don’t switch off just yet, as there will still be plenty to interest you.
I think the mistake a lot of people make is that they confuse nutrition with cooking. Why is that such a bad mistake to make? Well, if you have to survive on your own, and you think you have to learn all about cooking, you might not succeed very well. Not all of us make great cooks. But you don’t need to cook everything you eat — you don’t actually need to cook anything at all, of course, and you’ll still survive very well and be healthy. With that in mind, I’d like to focus today on the kind of food that doesn’t need cooking.
The first food that a lot of people turn to when they don’t cook is bread. Now as long as you don’t live on it, bread is an excellent food. If you’ve ever seen a food pyramid, you’ll know that bread is a food that forms the base of the pyramid — in other words, we should eat it often. I’m not saying eating a loaf of bread a day is good for you, but toast for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch is fine.
Just what you’re going to put in that sandwich is another question. If you like cheese, you’re lucky because there are so many different types of cheese. So, a slice of cheese or, if you don’t like that, there are plenty of meat-based fillings you can use for sandwiches, like a slice of ham. Just remember one thing — we are all supposed to eat five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day. So remember to put some lettuce or tomato (or both) in that sandwich. A big healthy salad, of course, is a great idea. You can add ham or boiled eggs or cheese for variety … and for vital protein. And don’t forget the fruit. An apple a day, or an orange, or any fruit, is an excellent source of vitamins and will help to keep doctor away.
Without cooking at all, you may need to use some tinned or packed food. A tin of tuna, for example, is a great source of protein and will go well in a salad. And when we say packed food, we don’t mean you should live on packets of biscuits or crisps — that’s the worst thing you can do as you are just putting your health at risk! Make sure you get something fresh every day if possible.
Finally, there’s always ready-made or frozen meals. You might have to heat them up but that’s not really cooking, is it? All you need is a microwave oven and you just press a button or two. The problem is that these meals aren’t always healthy, and they often have a lot of salt and sugar added to them. They frequently have a high fat content too, which is bad, so you definitely ought to avoid eating them too often. Of course, I don’t need to mention that you are serious about your health, you should cut down on junk food for the same reasons.
Let’s see then – could you survive without cooking at all? Well, if you had cereal with low-fat milk for breakfast, a cheese sandwich for lunch, and a big salad and a tin of fish for your main meal, you would have a very healthy diet. If you ate fruit for snacks, it would be perfect — your health would definitely this kind of food. … But it just might get л little boring if you do it every day, tune in next time when I will give some tips on simple cooking — the kind everyone can do!. Until next time then.
