When the critic was brought to the palace the king asked him about the stories again. But the critic said he would rather get back to prison.
Of course people were afraid of criticizing the king so they had to lie. Everyone said the stories were extremely good, which was not at all true.
An old king liked to write stories which he thought were very good and professional. He showed them to everyone and asked what those people thought.
After some time the king thought he had been too cruel and decided to set the critic free. He sent his men to the prison and told them to bring the man to the palace.
The king got very angry with him and ordered his men to take him to prison. Sothe critic was sent for telling the truth.

Big Red London Buses.

It certainly can be. Every day, thousands of Londoners use the big red buses to move around the town. Every tourist knows that a one-day London bus pass can be used on all bus routes. London bus can offer a wonderful way to see the sights of Britain"s capital city.
Since 1911 the big red motor bus has been London"s "king of the road". The idea of the "double-decker" is much older than the motor bus. Until the 1930s the "double-decker" bus had no roof. Some passengers sat inside, and the rest travelled on the roof. It was too bad if it was raining! But then all new buses became equipped with roofs over the upper deck.
Today the only open-topped buses are the special tourist buses.
The most popular buses are those from the "Routemasters" which date from the 1950s and 60s. It is popular because it has an open platform at the back end and passengers can climb on and off when they want, even if thebus is moving (though this is not recommended!). These buses were designed specially for London, by people who knew what London needed. They have served their purpose well!
Choose the right answers.

a) They use them to move to another countries.
b) They use them to move around town.

a) a one-day bus pass
b) a seven-days bus pass
c) a three-days bus pass
8) How were all new buses equipped?
a) They were equipped with upper decks.
b) They were equipped with roofs.
c) They were equipped with new wheels.
9) How are open-topped buses used?
a) as special tourist buses
b) as special buses for workers
c) as special buses for students
10) Why is the "Routemaster" the most popular bus?
a) Because it is the fastest bus.
b) Because it is the warmest bus.

1. For the first time since 1948, the British capital will host the summer Olympic Games. It was the fourth participation of Britain in the battle to host the games after failed attempts of Birmingham for the 1992 Olympics and Manchester for 1996 and 2000. "I’m looking forward to what I’m sure will be a fantastic Olympic Games,” said Prince William.
2. There are many factors, both social and psychological, which influence the roles of teachers and learners in the classroom. The book "Roles of Teachers and Learners” by Tony Wright helps teachers to understand these roles. And the ways in which co-operative learning may best be fostered.
3. It’s calculated that Joanne Rowling, the author of very famous books about Harry Potter, is earning $36,000,000 daily and her total profit is already more than $1,000,000,000.
4. In 2005 " Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” broke the previous record of Potter series itself as wall as all other records had ever held by freshly published books: more than 8.9 million copies had been sold within 24 hours since the moment of release.
5. The word "hamburger” comes from the name of the German city Hamburg and not from the word "ham”, and so the word "cheeseburger”, sometimes used to mean a similar kind of sandwich with cheese instead of meat, is based on a false analogy.
6. Reading works of literature gives students an insight into the variety of ways language has been handled over the last three centuries. It is both rewarding and motivating for learners to discover they can understand the language, and that they can even enjoy the experience of reading an English or American classic.
7. The world’s famous cycling race comes to its exiting conclusion when the riders cap off three weeks of road racing and 21 stages with a sprint down the Champs Elysees in Paris. The Tour de France will be broadcast live daily at Sport land at 5 p.m. until the last stage on Sunday, June 24.

There is something about the English Channel that has always fascinated the human race and it has always played a special role in British history. The sea itself has always been important to mankind but the Channel often created a barrier between Great Britain and the Continent. This barrier has existed for more than 12,000 years and the desire to break it has occupied the minds of many people for almost two hundred years.
The construction of the tunnel is perhaps the most incredible engineering project of the 20th century. In fact its completion was called a "technical triumph”.
However, the first proposal to build a Channel Tunnel appeared in 1802, when a French engineer presented his project for two tunnels to cross it. Historians say Napoleon was interested in that plan. But Napoleon was more interested in fighting the British than in linking the two countries, and shortly afterwards a new war between England and France began. There were many other plans to build a tunnel but unfortunately all of them failed. It was not until after the last war that Britain and France began seriously considering the project. On the 12th February, 1986, Mrs. Thatcher and President Mitterrand signed the Franco-British Treaty which allowed the construction and the operation of the Channel Tunnel. The tunnel was completed eight years later.

Sleep…sleep…sleep
In a normal life a person sleeps for about twenty-five years. But why do we sleep? The simple answer is: we don’t know. We need more sleep when we are young. A baby sleeps for about ten hours. A teenager sleeps for about eight and a half hours. An adult sleeps for seven or eight hours. Old people need only five or six hours.
There are two kinds of sleep. When you go to sleep you go into deep sleep. Your temperature falls, your body relaxes, and you breath slowly. After about half an hour you go into active sleep. This is also called rapid eye movement sleep (or REM sleep), because your eyes move. You dream in both deep sleep and REM sleep, but in REM sleep you dream in pictures. If you wake up in REM sleep you can usually remember your dream. Your body spends about twenty minutes in REM sleep and then goes back into deep sleep for an hour.
Do you ever talk or walk in your sleep? People sleepwalk in deep sleep and sleepwalkers do amazing things. They open doors and windows, they ride bicycles and drive cars. They cook, they take a bath or a shower (often in their pyjamas), they shave, they clean their teeth, they get dressed, they dig the garden and do other things.
Sleepwalkers are asleep, but they have their eyes open and they can see. They can’t wake up easily. If they do, they can’t remember anything. Do you ever sleepwalk? Are you sure? Perhaps you do, but nobody sees you.
- Everyone sleeps for eight hours a night.
1) True 2) False 3) Not stated
- Teenagers need less sleep than adults.
1) True 2) False 3) Not stated
- Some people sleep for only one or two hours.

- REM sleep is the same as active sleep.
1) True 2) False 3) Not stated
- You only dream in deep sleep.
1) True 2) False 3) Not stated
- People sleepwalk in REM sleep.
1) True 2) False 3) Not stated
- Sleepwalkers can’t see.
1) True 2) False 3) Not stated
- Sleepwalkers remember everything they do.
