Task 4.
Read the text and answer the questions, choosing the right answer.
19th-century writers in the US, whether they wrote novels, short stories, poems or plays were powerfully drawn to the railroad in its golden years. In fact, writers responded to the railroads as soon as the first ones were built in the 1830’s. By the 1850’s, the railroad was a major presence in the life of the nation. Writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau saw the railroad both as a boon to democracy and as an object of suspicion. The railroad could be and was a despoiler of nature furthermore, in its manifestation of speed and noise, it might be a despoiler of human nature as well.
By the 1850’s and 1860’s, there was a great distrust among writer and intellectuals of the rapid industrialization of which the railroad was a leading force. Deeply philosophical historians such as Henry Adams lamented the role that the new frenzy for business was playing in eroding traditional values. A distrust of industry and business continued among writers throughout the rest of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth.
For the most part, the literature in which the railroad plays an important role belongs to popular culture rather than to the realm of serious art. One thinks of melodramas, boy’s books, thrillers, romances and the like rather than novels of the first rank. In the railroads’ prime years, between 1890 and 1920, there were a few individuals in the United States, most of them with solid railroading behind them, who made a profession of writing about railroading – works offering the ambience of stations yards and locomotive cabs. These writers who can genuinely be said to have created a genre, the “railroad novel” are now mostly forgotten, their names having faded from memory. But anyone who takes the time to consult their fertile writings will still find a treasure
trove of information about the place of the railroad in the life of the United States.
1. With which of the following topics is the passage mainly concerned?
A. The role of the railroad in the economy of the United States.
B. Major nineteenth-century writers.
C. The conflict between expanding industry and preserving nature.
D. The railroad as a subject for literature.
2. The word “it” refers to
A. railroad
B. manifestation
C. speed
D. nature
3. In the first paragraph, the author implies that writers’ reactions to the development of railroads were
A. highly enthusiastic
B. unchanging
C. disinterested
D. both positive and negative
4. The word “lamented” is closest in meaning to
A. complained about
B. analyzed
C. explained
D. reflected on
5. According to the passage, the railroad played a significant role in literature in all of the following kinds of books EXCEPT
A. Thrillers
B. boys’ books
C. important novels
D. romances

8 Ways to Keep the Earth Clean
The environment
It’s up to all of us to look after the environment. So what can we do?
Use less paper. Paper comes from trees, and we need to protect the forests where trees grow.
Recycle things like glass and plastic. When we use things more than once, we help to protect our environment.
Turn off taps when you aren’t using the water. Water is a very precious thing, and we shouldn’t waste it.
Don’t throw litter on the streets! Always put your rubbish in a bin, or take it home and put it in the bin there!
Try to travel less by car or plane. Cars and planes produce fumes which pollute the atmosphere. And remember – that’s the air that we breathe, so we should do our best to keep it clean!
Please consider the structure of the essay
Essays are organized into paragraphs. The first paragraph (պարբերություն) is called the introduction. It includes a thesis statement. The thesis statement tells the reader what the essay is about. It comprises an interesting opening, called a hook (հրապուրիչ սկիզբ, խայծ, որպեսզի հետաքրքրի ընթերցողին), background
that defines unfamiliar terms, and your thesis statement, which is one sentence that outlines your opinion or preference and your reasons.
After the introduction write the body of the essay. The body of the essay is made up of paragraphs that support the introduction. Each paragraph of the body discusses one supporting point or set of ideas for your thesis. It is important that each body paragraph has a unique topic. It should have topic sentences: key points supporting your thesis; explanation and example. It is better to have 3 body paragraphs.
The last paragraph is the conclusion. It restates your thesis and adds some general comments, predictions, or suggestions to your essay.
