Soon he went bankrupt and the family decided to leave St. Petersburg and go to America. (1) _______. Immanuel also experimented with nitroglycerin with his sons. Explosions often occurred in the laboratory one of which killed Alfred Nobel's younger brother Emil and several other people in 1864.

Numerous scientists had been intrigued by nitroglycerine but only Alfred Nobel managed to turn this dangerous substance into a safe and useful explosive. (2) _______ .

He made a special condition that this prize had to be awarded annually without distinction of gender and nationality. (5) _______ . Surprisingly, there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics.

I can listen to classical music for hours. My …….……... (1.FAVOUR) composer is Mozart

and I am fortunate enough to have a cousin who is also a very gifted pianist. As a ………..…….

(2.PROFESSION) musician, she strongly believes that the……………..... (3.MUSIC) ability is

8

TASK 5 READING Read the text. Then read the statements (1- 8) which follow and say whether the statements are true or false. Put a cross (X) in the appropriate box. Then, next to it write the number of the paragraph where you have found the necessary information. One example is given.

Button Design and Fashion

1. In clothing and fashion design, a button is a small disc- or knob-shaped, typically round object usually attached to an article of clothing in order to secure an opening, or for ornamentation. Functional buttons work by slipping the button through a fabric or thread loop, or by sliding the button through a slit called a buttonhole.

2. Buttons come from ancient times. Archaeologists even found buttons or button-like objects in pre-historic burial grounds. The Crusaders, returning from battles in the Middle East, are believed to have introduced the buttons to Europe. Buttons were made from almost every material found in nature or created by man. Metals are one of the most popular materials, including everything from iron to gold. Another popular material used in button making is mother of pearl, or shell of any kind. Bone, ivory, cloth, glass, stone, horn, leather, ceramic, celluloid and wood, plus any combination of these, have been used to fashion these miniature works of art.

3. One of the most interesting materials used in buttons is jet. This is a natural mineral with a carbon base. It is lightweight and fragile, so surviving examples are very hard to come by. Queen Victoria started a fashion in 1861 by wearing black jet buttons to mourn the death of her husband Albert. As jet was such a rare and expensive mineral, black glass buttons were often used instead of jet by the rest of the population for their mourning attire. Consequently, black glass buttons are still very common today, but are often mislabeled as ‘jet’ buttons. One way to test whether that black button is jet or glass is by giving it the floating test. Glass buttons will sink to the bottom in a glass of water, but the lightweight jet buttons will float.

4. Throughout the years, the decorations on buttons have reflected both the fashion and passions of the time. Nearly everything has been pictured on a button. Animals are one of the most popular subjects, along with plant life and things like belt clasps and hats. A ‘habitat’ is the name of a very rare type of button. This button has a metal back covered with a dome-shaped glass cap. But what makes this kind of button special is the ‘thing’ placed under the glass. These ‘things’ are mostly dried plants and animal material, usually arranged to create a natural looking scene. Because of their age, these buttons are rarely seen, and are often in poor condition.

5. Architectural objects like buildings, bridges and monuments also decorate many buttons. People and their many activities is another popular subject. Political candidates, opera stars and fairy-tale heroes are also richly represented on the buttons. Buttons produced for George Washington’s inauguration are the most sought-after buttons by collectors in the United States.

9

6. Uniform buttons fall into a special category of their own. Most of us automatically think of the military when we think of uniforms, but there is an amazing variety of uniforms in our society. Both Police and Fire Departments have their own buttons, as well as airlines and shipping lines. State employees, hotels, railroads, banks and even schools may have their own unique buttons as well. A related field is Livery buttons. These buttons were worn by servants in large households, usually in England, and had the family’s coat of arms or crest on it. The history of buttons reveals many secrets about the past and the civilizations that used them. One never knows how valuable a simple button in the old button-box can be in the future.

True False Paragraph No

Ex. Buttons are usually used for decorating clothes. X 1

1. Buttons with dried plants are rarely found in good condition.

2. One can learn many interesting things from the history of buttons.

3. It is not possible to find out the difference between black glass and jet buttons.

4. Uniform buttons unite many types of buttons.

5. Who first brought buttons to Europe is unknown.

6. A lot of good examples of jet buttons can be found.

7. Fashion had a serious influence on the shape and range of buttons.

8. There is a variety of buttons with famous faces on them.

Type of a mistake

Hi Mary,

I’m completely √ a loss what to do after I finish the Caucasus School of

Business. Next month our university is arranging a Job Fair. The representatives

from various of organizations, such as banks, NGOs, state enterprises will attend

the Fair and talked to us about different jobs available. As you know, I do need

money to support my family but if I want to have a successful career in business,

I need to study a lot. The other day I’ve come across an advertisement in the

newspaper about study opportunities in England. I know it will cost a lot to

study there but I also know that there are some organisations which offers

scholarships to families with low income. Do you think I will be eligibly for

that? If I am lucky enough get the scholarship and study abroad, this will be a

wonderful opportunity for me. If I decide to apply at the scholarship, I’ll need

to fill in a lot of forms and documents, which I hate so much. I’ll also need two

references from my professors. You recommend whom? I need to make a quick

decision and I really appreciate your advice on these matters.

All the best,

Anna
