How
Fast One Travels in 2000
The earth also
seems smaller because travel is now very quick. In
1850 we could travel as fast
as a
horse. In 1950 our planes could fly at one
thousand miles an hour (1,000 m.p.h.). In 1970 we
can
fly at 25,000 m.p.h. Who knows how
fast we shall be traveling in the year 2000?
IV. Translate the following article.
A
I used to travel by air a
great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to
live in South America
and I used to fly
there from Europe in the holidays. A flight
attendant would take charge of me and
I
never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to
traveling by air and only on one occasion have I
ever felt frightened. After taking off,
we were flying low over the city and slowly
gaining height,
when the plane suddenly
turned round and flew back to the airport. While
we were waiting to land, a
flight
attendant
told
us
to
keep
calm
and
to
get
off
the
plane
quietly
as
soon
as
it
had
touched
down.
Everybody
on
board
was
worried
and
we
were
curious
to
find
out
what
had
happened.
Later
we
learnt
that
there was a very important person on
board. The police had been told that a bomb had
been planted on
the
plane.
After
we
had
landed,
the
plane
was
searched
thoroughly.
Fortunately,
nothing
was
found
and
five hours later we were
able to take off again.

When you visit London, one
of the first things you will see is Big Ben, the
famous clock which
can be heard all
over the world on the B.B.C. If the House of
Parliament had not been burned down,
it
would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its
name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible
for
the
making
of
the
clock
when
the
new
Houses
of
Parliament
were
being
built.
It
is
not
only
of
immense
size,
but is extremely accurate as well. Officials from
Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked
twice a day. On the B.B.C you can hear
the clock when it is actually striking because
microphones are
connected
to
the
clock
tower.
Big
Ben
has
rarely
gone
wrong.
Once,
however,
it
failed
to
give
the
correct
time.
A painter who had been working on the tower hung a
pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed
it down.
C
Dreams of finding lost treasure almost
came true recently. A new machine called
“
The
Revealer
”
has
been
invented
and
it
has
been
used
to
detect
gold
which
has
been
buried
in
the
ground.
The
machine
was used in a cave
near the seashore where
—
it
is said
—
pirates used to hide
gold. The pirates would
often bury gold
in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed
with the new machine, a search party
went
into
the
cave
hoping
to
find
buried
treasure.
The
leader
of
the
party
was
examining
the
soil
near
the
entrance to the cave when the machine showed that
there was gold under the ground. Very excited,
the party dug a hole two feet deep.
They finally found a small gold coin which was
almost worthless.
The party searched
the whole cave thoroughly but did not find
anything except an empty tin trunk. In
spite of this, many people are
confident that
“
The
Revealer
”
may reveal
something of value fairly
soon.

When he had killed the
guard, the prisoner of war quickly dragged him
into the bushes. Working
rapidly in
the darkness, he soon changed
into
the dead
man’s clothes. Now, dressed in a
blue
uniform
and
with a rifle over his shoulder, the Prisoner
marched boldly up and down in front of the camp.
He
could
hear
shouting
in the camp itself.
Lights were blazing and
men
were running here and there: they
had
just discovered
that a prisoner
had escaped. At that moment,
a large black
car with four
officers
inside
it
stopped
at
the
camp
gates.
The
officers
got
out
and
the
prisoner
stood
to
attention
and
saluted
as they passed. When
they had gone, the driver of the car came towards
him. The man obviously wanted
to talk.
He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear
blue eyes. The prisoner felt sorry for him.
But there was nothing else he could do.
As the man came near, the prisoner knocked him to
the ground
with a sharp blow. Then,
jumping into the car, he drove off as quickly as
he could.
