Прочитайте текст, укажите, верны (True) или ложны (False) утверждения, данные после текста When you see a man with a beard, doesn’t he somehow look dignified, or even important? In the history of man, this has been the usual attitude towards beards. It was a sign of manhood. That’s why you will find that in ancient times, when an important person was shown, he was usually shown with a beard. The Greek god, Zeus, was shown with a beard; drawings representing God showed a beard; Abraham, King Arthur, Charlemagne were always pictured with beards! In our western civilization, there is no general rule about beards. Sometimes they were considered stylish and right for men to have, some times no man would want to be seen with a beard! Long before the conquest of England by the Normans, the beard was considered unfashionable and not worn by men. Then the style changed and beards became popular again! The kings of England, who set the fashions that men followed, varied in their taste for beards. For example, Henry II had no beard, Richard II had a small beard, Henry III had a long beard. By the middle of the thirteenth century, most men were wearing full and curled beards, and it was common in the fourteenth century. Then beards disappeared again during the fifteenth century, and slowly began to come back into style with the sixteenth century. It was Henry VIII who made the beard fashionable again. During the time of Queen Elizabeth, lawyers, soldiers, courtiers, and merchants all had beards. But when Anne became queen of Eng land, nobody who was anybody wore either a beard or moustache, or whiskers! In fact, when George III was imprisoned and his beard was allowed to grow, many of his followers felt this was the most insulting thing of all! So you see that shaving the beard off for a man has not been a question of having a razor. These have existed for thousands of years. To wear a beard or not has been simply a question of style! 1 In ancient times people believed what a beard made a man look more important. 2 Fashion for beards changed with time 3 On the British Isles men began shaving their beards off only as a result of the Norman conquest 4 All English kings wore small beards 5 Henry VIII lived in the sixteen century II Раскройте скобки, поставив глагол в нужном времени Once a philosopher was travelling down a river in a small boat.

Прочитайте текст, укажите, верны (True) или ложны (False) утверждения, данные после текста This happened more than fifty years ago, in a little American town called Springfield. The newspaper "The Springfield Voice" had a very difficult life. The newspaper hadn't enough money and could not pay its workers. But it had one difficulty that was even worse. Whenever some interesting news appeared in "The Springfield Voice", the rest of the newspapers in the town at once published the same news as their own. At last "The Springfield Voice" decided to teach their enemies a lesson. In the morning, April 1, "The Springfield Voice" published the news that a coffee king whose name was Lirpa Loof had come from abroad and was going to visit Springfield. Of course, this was tremendous news in such a little town. That same afternoon all the other newspapers in the town wrote about Mr Lirpa Loof. One of the newspapers published an interview with the rich businessman, another newspaper told its readers that Mr Lirpa Loof had had a meeting with the businessmen of the town, who were planning to buy coffee from him. The next day, April 2, "The Springfield Voice" wrote: "Of course, we are proud that the other newspapers believed our story about the rich foreign businessman Lirpa Loof. But they must not forget what the date was yesterday. Read the first, then the second word — Lirpa Loof — from the end to the beginning and you will see why they must not forget that date." 1 It happened about fifty years ago in America. 2 The newspaper had financial problems. 3 The newspaper wrote about a coffee king who was going to visit Springfield. 4.
