READER

1. Read the text and give the heading to it.

Once there were two men. Each of them had a son. One of the men — we shall call him Mr. White — was very strict with his son, and his friend — Mr. Brown — always used to say, "Why are you so strict? I am not so strict, but my son is as good as yours."

One day both men went to see their friends. Their sons were with them too, playing in the garden. Soon the two men began to talk about their sons, and again Mr, Brown said, "I can't still understand, why you are so strict with your son."

Mr. White looked out of the window and called his son. He wrote a note and gave it to him, saying, "Tom, take this note home and bring me an answer from Mother." "Very well, Father," said his son and went out.

As soon as the boy left the room, his father began to speak, "Tom is going downstairs. He is opening the door. He is going round the corner of the street. He is passing the Opera and Ballet the­atre now. He is going along our street. He is walking up to the house. He is at the door. He is ringing the bell. He is entering the house. He is standing be­fore his mother. He is giving the note to her. She is reading the note. She is writing her answer. He is getting the answer. He is on his way here. He is passing the cinema.

looking towards the door, he called, "Tom!"

"Here I am, Father," answered Tom.

"Did you go home and get what I wanted?"

"Yes, I did. Here is Mother's answer."

"Good, my boy. Thank you. You may go to your friends now." Mr. Brown said then, "My son can also do this." He wrote a note, called his son in, and call — кликати told him to take the note to his mother and bring him an answer.

"Hurry up, Bill. I need Mother's an­swer."

"Yes," said the boy. "I understand." And he went out. His father began to speak just like the other man, "Bill is going downstairs. He is at the door. He is going out. He is walking down the street. He is crossing the street. He is turning to the right. He is at the gate gate — ворота of the park now. He is passing the museum. He is near our house. He is at the door. He is ringing the door-bell. He is going in. He is giving the note to his mother. He is getting her answer. He is hurrying downstairs. He is in the street. He is turning to the left. He is at the gate of the park. He is walking up the street. He is walking up to the house. He is at the door. He is coming upstairs," and then, looking towards the door, he called, "Bill!"

"Yes, Father," answered Bill.

"Give me the answer from Mother."

"I... I... I shall go in a minute, Fa­ther. I can't find my cap."

Both men looked at each other, but did not say a word.

Task 2

1. Read the extract from the novel "The Invisible Man" by Herbert George Wells.

science fiction— на­укова фантастика

Herbert George Wells (1866—1946) is well-known in English literature as the author of science fiction.

He was born in a poor family, but man­aged to get an education. He studied biology. Later he became interested in social prob­lems. He called himself a socialist. Like all progressive men of his time he understood that the world had to be changed.

numerous ['njumaras] — тут багатьох

H. G. Wells is the author of numerous fantastic novels. The most popular among them are "The Invisible Man" and "The Time Machine".

The hero of the novel is Griffin, a gifted young scientist. He invents a substance that makes a person invis­ible and tries it on himself. Wishing to continue his experiments, Griffin co­mes to a quiet provincial town and stops at an inn. His secluded way of life and strange occupation arouse the suspicion of the narrow-minded Mr. and Mrs. Hallthe innkeepers. They begin spying on Griffin. Finally things come to an open quarrel.

The stranger returned to his room about half past five in the morning, and there he remained until near mid-

day. He was very hungry. Three times he rang his bell, but Mrs. Hall did not angwer it, as she was angry with him for his rudeness.What the stranger was doing was unknown. He must have occupied himself with some experi­ments at his table. About noon he sud­denly opened the door and stood star­ing at the people in the bar. "Mrs. Hall," he called. Mrs. Hall came forward holding an unsettled bill in her hand. "Is it your bill you want, sir?" she asked.

"Why wasn't my breakfast laid? Why haven't you answered my bell? You must think I can live without eating. What?"

"You should have paid my bill, sir," said Mrs. Hall.

. "Look here, my good woman..." he began.

"Stop talking," said Mrs. Hall. "Be­fore I get any breakfast, you've got to tell me one or two things I don't un­derstand. Your room was empty, but how did you get in again? You must have climbed in through the window. I suppose you know that people who stop in this house come in by the door. That's the rule."

"You might have been more polite, at least," the stranger interrupted her in an angry voice, stamping his foot. "You don't understand who I am. I'll show you!" He took off his spectacles and everyone in the bar gasped: there was nothing behind them. He began to remove the bandages that covered the rest of his face. Mrs. Hall fell down unconscious as she saw that the stran­ger had no head. The people in the bar rushed out. The news of the headless man spread all the way down the street in no time and soon a crowd of perhaps forty people gathered at the door of the little inn. A little procession pushed its way through the crowd: first

"What's this?" came an angry voice from above the collar of the figure.

"You are a strange person," said Jaffers, "but head or no head I'll have to arrest you." And he produced a pair of handcuffs. At the next moment the stranger's gloves came off and drop­ped on the floor. He ran his arm down his waistcoat, and the buttons to which his empty sleeves were pointed, became undone. Then he bent down and began doing something with his shoes and socks.

"Why!" said Jaffers, "That's no man at all. It's just empty clothes. Look!" He held out his hand and it seemed to meet something in the air.

"Can't you be more careful? You might hurt my eye," said angry voice. "As a matter of fact, I'm invisible. It's

strange, perhaps, but it's not a crime."

"I've got my instructions," Jaffers said holding his handcuffs ready.

"Well," said the stranger, "I'll come. But no handcuffs."

"Pardon me, but..."

Suddenly the figure sat down. Be­fore anyone could realize what was happening, the shoes, socks and trousers had been kicked off under the table. Then the stranger jumped up and threw off his coat.

"Hold him," cried Jaffers, "he gets the things off."

There was a rush at the white shirt which was fluttering in the air. Jaf­fers grasped at it, and only helped to pull it off.

. "You could have held him faster," one of the men said to the policeman. "Why did you let him go?" "Here he is!" another man cried out. Many people were hit out of the air. The struggling crowd was moving down the stairs and towards the house door.

pain

"I got him!" shouted Jaffers. He held his unseen enemy fast, but he must have been hit suddenly as he cried out with pain and fell heavily on the ground. There were excited cries "Hold him!", "Invisible!" Half way across the "road a woman screamed as something pushed her. A dog must have been kicked by an invisible foot as it ran into the yard nearby. And the invisible man was gone forever from the town.

2. Answer the questions.

Who entered the stranger's room and why?

Did the people succeed in holding the invisible man?

What happened then?

The invisible man was gone forever, wasn't he?

THE TIME MACHINE Parti

prominent — видат­ний

One evening a prominent scientist, the author calls him Time Traveller, showed his friends a small model of a machine which he called the Time Ma­chine. He said that he was going to send that model into the future.

Time Traveller said the big Time Machine was almost ready and that in a week's time he was going to travel into the future himself.

The next Thursday, which was the day when they usually gathered in the scientist's house, his friends came again, but they did not find the scien­tist at home. There was a note asking them to start dinner without him.

In the middle of the dinner the door of the dining-room opened, and the Time Traveller came in. He looked very tired. He "explained to his friends that

he had just returned from the remote remote Tn'moutl________

future and told them the following віддалений story.

The Time Machine was ready at ten
o'clock this morning. I sat down in the
saddle. saddle — сідло, си-

сковий важіль stopping lever — ва­жіль зупинки immediately [i'mi:djath] — негай­но

I took the starting lever in one hand ™Ј leyer __ and the stopping lever in the other. Then I pressed the starting lever. I felt as if I were falling. Almost immedi­ately I pressed the stopping lever. Looking round I saw the laboratory exactly as before. Had anything hap­pened? Then I noticed the clock. Before I started, it had shown ten o'clock. Now it was nearly half past three.

2. Answer the questions.

1. What is the name of the scientist?


 




2. What did Time Traveller show to his friends?

3. What did he explain to his friends, when he came into the dining-room in the middle of the dinner?

Task 5

1. Read the extract from "The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells, part II.

THE TIME MACHINE Part II

suppose [sa'pouz] — вважати shoot (shot) — про­нестися, промчати extreme [iks'tri:m] — крайній
disappear — зникати
destroyed — зруйно­ваний

I took the starting lever with both hands and pressed it. The laboratory became dark. Mrs. Watchett came in and walked without seeing me, to­wards the garden door. I suppose it took her a minute to cross the room, but it seemed to me that she shot across the room like a rocket. I turned the lever to its extreme position. Night came at once, and in another moment came tomorrow. Tomorrow night came at once, then day again, night again, faster and faster. The laboratory disappeared and I saw the sun moving very quickly across the sky, every minute marking a day. I supposed the laboratory had been de­stroyed, and I had come into the open air.

greyness ['greinis] сірість

The speed of the Machine became greater and greater. I could not see the sun any more, the change of the day and night had turned into one continu­ous greyness.

dials with hands — циферблат зі стріл­ками

I was still on the hillside, on which this house now stands. I saw trees growing and changing the colour: now brown, now green, as the seasons changed; they grew, then became old and died. I saw how huge buildings appeared and disappeared.

On my Machine I had dials with hands, which registered my speed.


Now, looking at them, I saw that I was moving at a speed of a year a minute.

I felt more and more curiosity. — Ціка­вість моя все зроста­ла.
desire [di'zaia] — ба-sudden — раптовий

As I was moving further and fur­ther into the future, I felt more and more curiosity. What should I see when I stopped? How had humanity changed? What wonderful progress had been achieved? I saw splendid architecture passing before my eyes, and I noticed that the climate had changed as there were no more winters.

huge ['hju:d3] — ве­личезний column fkolam] — колона pedestal ['pedistl] — п'єдестал

The desire to stop was growing more and more, and finally I pressed the stopping lever. The stop was so sudden, that the Machine overturned and I was thrown out of it on the grass.

kl looked round me. I was in a beau­tiful garden. In the distance I saw huge buildings with columns. Before me stood a stone Sphinx on a bronze pedestal.

frail [freil] — сла­бенький, кволий touch [tAtJ] — торка­тися

Then I saw some men and one of them approached me. He was small and looked very handsome, but very frail. Then he turned to two others and spo­ke to them in a language which I did not understand. They talked to me and touched me with their little hands.

2. Answer the questions.

1. Where did Time Traveller find himself when the Time Machine suddenly stopped?

2. What did he see around him?

3. How did the people look like?

flowers around my neck. The others liked the idea and they began running about and throwing flowers at me. Then they took me by the hands and led to the nearest building.

heap — купа
thirsty ['6a:sti] спраглий

The building was very large, very old and partly destroyed. Everything was covered with dust. There were many low tables and on the tables I saw heaps of fruits, which I did not know. The little people began eating and I followed their example because I was hungry and thirsty. These people ate only fruit, and while I was with them, I also ate nothing else. I found later, that in this world there were no horses, sheep or dogs. But the fruits were excellent.

surprised [sa'praizd] — здиво­ваний
get tired — стоми­тися

I was surprised to see that these people had very little interest in me. They were like children: they came up to me, looked at me and said some­thing, but very soon they got tired of me and walked away to find some other toy.

slow [slou] — повіль­ний

I tried to learn their language, pointing at things and asking them to say the words for them. But it was a very slow and difficult process be­cause they were not interested in teaching me.

view [vju:] — круго­зір

I left the building and walked up a hill to get a better view of the sur­rounding world. I saw large palaces, very beautiful but partly destroyed. There were no small houses at all.

2. Answer the questions.

1. How did the little people greet Time Traveller and where did they take him?

2. Did Time Traveller and the people understand each other?

3. The people were not interested in teaching Time Traveller their language, were they?

4. What did Time Traveller see around him?


Task 7

THE TIME MACHINE Part IV

All the people were dressed in the same way, had the same long curly hair. I could not say which of them were men and which were women. The children looked like grown-ups. Another thing that surprised me was that I saw no old people. I thought and thought, but I could not understand this world.

the slope of the hill — схил гори horror
жах

The sun had set and I decided to go down and find a place where I could sleep. I ran down the slope of the hill to see the Time Machine behind it. You can't imagine the horror that I felt: the Time Machine was not there.

I was sure that the little people we­re too frail to be able to move the Machine. So it was some other power, which I did not know, that had moved it. I was afraid. Only one thought com­forted me: the starting and stopping levers were in my pocket, so nobody could move the Machine in time. Some­body had moved the Machine and hid­den it.

I was in despair and I went into the big palace. The great hall with tables was dark and empty. Behind it I found another great hall covered with cushions on which many of the little people were sleeping. I struck a match and roared, "Where is my Time Ma­chine?" They woke up and were sur­prised to see the match. Some of them laughed, some were afraid. It was clear that they knew nothing about my Ma­chine and did not understand what I wanted.

I went across the big dining-hall again, and came out. I walked about,

1. Why was it difficult for Time Traveller to distinguish men, women and children?

2. Why did Time Traveller feel the horror?

3. Why was he in despair?

Task 8

1. Read the extract from "The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells, part V.

THE TIME MACHINE Part V

quietly ['kwaiath] — спокійно
tool — інструмент

When I woke up, it was morning. Now I was able to think clearly and tell myself quietly, "I must be calm. I must study this world and these people. Perhaps, I shall be able to get materials and tools to make another machine."

track [trsek] — слід hollow ['holou] — по­рожній
conceive [kan'sirv] — збагнути, зрозуміти

I went up to the Sphinx and exam­ined the ground. And there I found tracks which led to the pedestal. Then I knocked on it. The pedestal was hol­low. It was clear now that my Time Machine was inside the pedestal. But I could not conceive how to open it.

behave [bi'heiv] — поводитися shameful ['jeimful] — ганебний

Two little men came up to me. Pointing to the pedestal I showed that I wanted to open it. But they behaved in a very strange way. They turned and walked away, looking at me as if I was doing something shameful. I tried to break the walls of the pedestal with stones, but could not do it.

watch [wotj] — спос­терігати fear [fia] — страх by and by — поступо­во

Watching these little people, I thought at first that they were not afraid of anything, that they did not know what fear was. But by and by I found out that they were afraid of


dark, afraid of black things. After dark they gathered in big houses and J slept together. Yet I was fool enough not to understand the reason of that fear.

I slept in an empty room. At night I dreamed that I was drowned, and some sea-weeds were touching my face. I woke and it seemed to me that some grey animal was running out of the room. I got up and went out of the palace. Near the ruins I noticed several white figures. They were carrying some dark thing.

As it grew lighter, the white figures disappeared. I was telling myself that those white figures were simply the play of my imagination. But I was thinking of them all the morning.

It was very hot and I was looking for a place where I could hide from the sun, I found a dark passage and walked along it. It was very dark in it. Suddenly I stopped: two bright eyes were looking at me out of the dark­ness.

I was afraid. Still I stepped for­ward, put out my hand and touched something soft. At once something white rushed past me. I turned and saw a strange little аре-like figure. It quickly crossed the open space and dis­appeared down one of the wells.

I ran up to the well, struck a match and looked down. It was very deep. I couldn't see any water in it, but heard some noise like the work of a big en­gine. The white figure was climbing down.

2. Answer the questions.

1. Where was the Time Machine?

2. How did the little people behave near the pedestal?

3. What did Time Traveller see after waking?

4. What did he hear from the well?

Part VI

gradually
Upper World — Верхній Світ Underground World — Підземний Світ

. It became clearer and clearer to me that the figure I had seen was a human being. Gradually, I began to see the truth: as hundreds of centuries passed, Man had developed along, two lines. Now there were two different kinds of human beings: the beautiful frail little people of the Upper World, and these white people of the night, that lived in the Underground World.

I was thinking hard, trying to understand the social system of this world.

property fpropati] власність

Maybe these underground people did the work there that was necessary for the comfort of the Upperworld people? Already in our time there is a tendency to use more and more under­ground space for industry and our workers spend more and more time un­der the ground. Again in our time the growing tendency of rich people is to make more and more of the land their private property. So, above the ground you must have rich people who enjoy pleasure, comfort and beauty; and un­der the ground live the workers.

intelligence [in'tehd3ans] лект
інте-

However, this future world was not so beautiful, this civilization was dy­ing. The Upperworlders which were called Eloi had degraded in size, strengh and intelligence. That I could see clearly enough. What had happened to the Undergrounders which were called Morlocks — I did not know yet.

I decided to go down into one of the wells and see with my own eyes what was there.


2. Answer the questions.

1. What did Time Traveller understand?

2. What did Time Traveller think about the social system of that world?

3. The future world was not so beautiful, was it?

4. What did Time Traveller decide to do?

THE TIME MACHINE Part VII

bar — брус (дерев'я­ний) ladder ['laeda] — дра­бина opening ['oupnin] — отвір, щілина

Early in the morning I went up to one of the wells and began to climb down by the bars which formed a lad­der. I was climbing down a long time. At last I saw an opening in the wall from which a horizontal tunnel began. I got into the tunnel and lay down to rest.

I don't know how long I lay. Sud­denly I felt a soft hand touching my face. I quickly took out my matches and struck one. I saw three white fig­ures. But as soon as I struck a match they ran away along the tunnel.

I got up and walked along the tun­nel. Soon I came to a large open space. I struck another match and looked around. I saw some big machines. The smell of fresh blood was in the air. On the metal table I saw big pieces of meat, and I was surprised because I had not seen any large animals in this world. Then the match burned down and it was dark again.

breathing ['bri:6in]— дихання crowd [kraud] — на­товп

While I was standing in the dark, a hand touched my arm, cold fingers touched my face. I thought.I heard the breathing of a crowd of these little beings around me. Some of them were pulling at my clothes, others were try-


 




 

match-box ['maetfboksj — короб­ка сірників shiver [71V3] — здри­гатися

ing to take the match-box out of my hand. I shivered and shouted loudly. They stepped back but immediately ap­proached me again. I was terribly frig­htened. I struck a match and qu­ickly moved back along the tunnel. At last I reached the opening into the well. When at last I got out of the well, I fell on my face and did not move for a long time.

2. Answer the questions.

1. What did Time Traveller do early in the morning?

2. What did he see in the tunnel?

3. Whom did he meet there?

4. What did Time Traveller do when he got out of the well?

to be wrong [ron] — помилятися
change [tjeind3] — змінюватися
cattle [ksetl] — вели­ка рогата худоба supply [sa'plai] — по­стачати

Now I was afraid. I feared the dark nights when there was no moon in the sky. It was not so difficult now to understand that I had been wrong when I supposed that the Upperworld people were the aristocracy and the Morlocks their servants. Maybe it had been so a long time ago, but now all had changed. Suddenly I remembered the meat which I had seen in the Un­derworld. At last the real state of things became clear to me. These Eloi were simply cattle of the Morlocks. They took care of them, like our farmers take care of their cattle, and supplied them with food and clothes. And in the dark nights they came out


of their wells, examined their cattle and took as many as they needed for their food.

tool [tu:l] — знаряд­дя lawn [lo:n] — лужок, газон

However, I was not so helpless as these little people. I could at least fight and defend myself. I decided to find some tool to break the pedestal of the Sphinx and get my Time Machine.

About eight or nine in the morning I came to the lawn where the Sphinx was. My plan was to break the walls of the pedestal with my iron bar and get in.

And now came a most unexpected thing. As I came to the Sphinx, I found that the pedestal was opened.

hesitate fheziteit] вагатися

I stopped, hesitating to enter. I could see my Time Machine inside. The levers were in my pocket.

trap [treep] — зама­нювати в пастку

Suddenly I understood what the Un-dergrounders thought. Laughing to myself I stepped into the pedestal. As I was standing near the Time Machine and examining it, there happened just what I had expected. The door of the bronze pedestal closed. I was in the dark — trapped. So the Undergroun-ders thought. And I laughed.

seize [si:z] — хапати
slow down ['slou'daun] — спо­вільнювати
gently ['d3enth] — м'яко, обережно tremble ['trembl] тремтіти workshop ['wa:kJop] - майстерня

I was sitting in the saddle and fixing the levers, when they came and tried to seize me. I pressed the start­ing lever, and they disappeared. The darkness fell from my eyes. I was going back to my own time. When I was near, I slowed the Machine down little by little, remembering my fall when I had stopped it suddenly. At last the old walls of the laboratory came round me. Very gently I stopped the Machine. I got off and sat down on a bench. For several minutes I trembled. Then I became calmer. Around me I saw my old workshop again, exactly as it had been.

2. Answer the questions.

1. How did Time Traveller plan to defend himself against the Undergrounders?

"Take your medicine, sir," said Koppel, the servant.

"No!" said Mr. Ellsworth.

"But it's good for you, sir."

"No!"

"It's doctor's orders."

"No!"

When the doctor came, Koppel told him, "I can't do a thing with him. He

won't take 'his medicine. He doesn't want me to read to him. He hates the radio. He doesn't like anything."

Doctor Caswell received the infor­mation with his usual professional calm. The old gentleman was quite well for a man of seventy-six. But he had to be kept from buying things. This was a kind of mania with him. He bought everything he saw — cars, horses, factories. His money was dis­appearing quickly. It was necessary to get him so interested in something that he would forget business.

cheerful [' tjiaful] — бадьорий suggest [sa'djast] — пропонувати

Mr. Ellsworth was sitting in a chair. He turned to answer the doctor's cheerful greeting.

The doctor sat down next to the old man. "I've got something to suggest," he said cheerfully.

"What is it, more medicine, more

"How would you like to take up art?"

The old gentleman's answer was a sharp, "Rubbish!"

"I don't mean seriously," said the doctor. "Just fool around with chalk and pencils."

foolish enough — до­сить слабенький

To the doctor's great surprise, the old man suddenly said almost child­ishly, "But, Caswell, how shall I start playing with the chalk if I'm foolish enough to start?"

"I've thought of that. A friend of mine is the head of an art school and I can get a student from his school to come here once a week. If you don't like it after some time, you can stop it."

Doctor Caswell went to his friend and told him about Mr. Ellsworth's wish. The friend just had a young man — Frank Swain, eighteen years old, a very good student. He needed

money and worked as a lift-boy at night to pay for his lessons. How much would he get? Five dollars a visit? Fine.

Next afternoon young Swain came, and the lessons began. Swain gave the old man a pencil and a sheet of paper and said, "Let's try and draw that vase. Try it, Mr. Ellsworth, please."

foolishness ['fu:h;ms] -

The old man took the pencil and made a line. He made another line and connected the two with several other lines. "There it is, young man," he said. "Such foolishness!"

Frank Swain did not get angry. He could not. He needed the five dollars. "If you want to draw," he said, "you will have to look at what you're draw­ing, sir."

Old Ellsworth turned and looked. "It's rather nice. I have never noticed.it before."

The doctor came in and said that Mr. Ellsworth was rather weak, so it was enough for the first lesson.

The weeks went by. Swain came more and more often. The old man asked him to come two and even three times a week. Swain brought him a box of water-colours and some tubes of oil. It was difficult to say whether Ells­worth had really become interested in art or whether he was secretly laugh­ing to himself while looking at Dr. Caswell, Swain and Koppel. But one thing was certain: Ellsworth stopped buying things, his relatives were greatly pleased.

2. Find out in the text English equivalents to the following

One day the doctor allowed Ells­worth to visit with Swain the Museum of Modern Art, the famous Lathrop Gallery and other exhibitions. The re­sults were excellent. The old man for­got business and became interested only in art. He wished to know every­thing about the galleries and the painters who exhibited in them. How were the galleries run? Who selected the pictures for the exhibitions? These were questions which he often asked.
