Установите соответствие между текстами A − G и заголовками 1–8. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний. 1. Brave partners in action 2. Hardworking employees 3. Immortalized by the authors 4. On the verge of the universe 5. Tested by time 6. Let sleeping dogs lie 7. Guardian angels of the mountains 8. Where artistic talent is encouraged A. For thousands of years cats and dogs have been people's favourite pets. You can find proof of that in the ancient world — in Egyptian pyramids and cave paintings — as well as today. Go to a park in any country early in the morning, and you will see many people walking their dogs. Open any kind of social media, and cats are among the most popular posts. But cats and dogs are not just pets. They have always been people's loyal friends and helpers, as well. B. There are several museums around the world that employ cats. Perhaps the one with the longest history of using cats as mouse and rat hunters is the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, where cats have been officially working for over 250 years. The British Museum in London also used to have cats as "mousers" on their payroll, but this practice has been recently stopped. The Ernest Hemingway Museum in Florida also employs cats, most of which are descendants of Hemingway's original cat, Snow White. However, unlike other museums, they keep the cats as part of a tradition rather than for catching mice. C. The Kuklachev Cat Theatre in Moscow is one of the most unusual theaters in the world, where cats are the main performers. Founded by Yuri Kuklachev in 1990, the theatre features trained cats that jump, balance, and perform tricks alongside human actors. Unlike in circuses, the cats are not forced to do tricks but are trained based on their natural abilities and preferences. The theatre promotes kindness to animals and emphasizes that cats should be treated with love, patience and respect. D. Dogs' jobs are much more diverse than those of cats. Traditionally kept as guards, dogs have also been used for many years by the police, military and rescue teams. Perhaps the most famous rescue dog breed is St. Bernard, which was used by monks in the Alps to save travellers lost in the snowy and dangerous St. Bernard Pass. During their 200 years of service as rescue dogs in the 18th and 19th centuries, St. Bernards saved over 2,000 people, from lost children to Napoleon's soldiers. E. There are several monuments to rescue dogs in Moscow. One of them, located at Victory Park, honors over 60,000 frontline dogs who, during World War II, rescued more than 700,000 wounded soldiers from battlefields, as well as delivered ammunition and combat reports, and detected and neutralized enemy explosive devices. Another monument, dedicated to both human and canine firefighters, pays tribute to the heroic dogs who assist in finding people trapped under ruins during fires, showcasing their vital role in saving lives. F. Moscow is home to several monuments honoring heroic dogs. One of them is dedicated to Laika, the first dog to orbit the Earth. Laika was sent into space aboard Sputnik-2 in 1957, paving the way for human spaceflight. Another monument celebrates Belka and Strelka, the first dogs to travel to space and return safely. This monument features the two space dogs alongside the Sputnik satellite, the Vostok rocket, and the Soyuz spacecraft, symbolizing their contribution to space exploration and scientific progress. G. There are several famous cat characters in literature. Three of the most well-known are the Cheshire Cat from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, Murr from "The Life and Opinions of Tomcat Murr" by E.T.A. Hoffmann, and Behemoth from Mikhail Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita". There is a sculpture of Behemoth near Bulgakov Museum in Moscow, and inside the museum, a real cat plays the role of the famous "primus-mending" cat.

Установите соответствие между текстами A $-$ G и заголовками 1 $-$ 8. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний. 1. | Always in a hurry 2. | The city of skyscrapers 3. | Winning and losing 4. | Unknown side of the city | | 5. | Saving the variety 6. | Getting around the city 7. | For the holiday and more 8. | Nickname for a building A. | New York is really the melting pot of the world. Over 30 percent of its residents have come from abroad. It is believed that the city has the greatest linguistic diversity on the planet. There are over 800 different languages divided among its people. As some of these languages are nearly extinct, the City University of New York has begun a project called the Endangered Language Alliance. Its aim is to preserve rare languages like Bukhari, Vhlaski, and Ormuri. B. | New Yorkers love to think they know everything about their city: where to find the best fruit, how to avoid paying full price at museums, what route to take to avoid traffic. But New York City can reveal new treasures even to its veterans. Beyond the city where New-Yorkers work, eat, play and commute every day lies a hidden New York: mysterious, forgotten, abandoned or just overlooked. There are places about which you’re not likely to read in any guidebook. C. | The Chrysler Building was in a race with the Bank of Manhattan for getting the title of the tallest skyscraper in the world. The Bank was likely to triumph, with its height of 282 meters. But the spire of the Chrysler Building was constructed in secret inside the tower. Just one week after the Bank of Manhattan was finished, it was put in place, making it 318 meters tall and beating the Bank. It wouldn’t keep this title for long: one year later the Empire State Building was erected. D. | The Flatiron Building was constructed between 1901 and 1903 at the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue. It was designed by Chicago’s Daniel Burnham as a steel-frame skyscraper covered with white terra-cotta. Built as the headquarters of the Fuller Construction company, the skyscraper was meant to be named Fuller Building. But locals soon started calling it “Flatiron” because of its unusual shape. The name stuck and soon became official. E. | How does Rockefeller Center manage to find the perfect fur-tree each Christmas season? They do aerial searches by helicopter, of course, and bring it to the city during the night when there isn’t much traffic on the streets. After the tree is taken down for the year, it continues to be useful. For example, in 2005 Habitat for Humanity used the wood to make doorframes for houses for the poor and in 2012 the paper was used to publish a book. F. | In New York life never stands still. People have to call cabs, ride subway cars, do business of all kinds, eat pizzas and sandwiches for lunch. When you multiply that by more than eight million people in less than 500 square miles, you get the idea: everyone goes everywhere as fast as it is humanly possible. Whatever you do, don't stop in the middle of the sidewalk or you’ll make everyone around you incredibly angry. G. | New York is extremely easy to navigate. Manhattan is divided into numbered streets from north to south and avenues from east to west. It’s almost impossible to get lost there. Buses are useful to travel around Manhattan, and the subway is the best means of transport to the other parts of the city. At some stage you’ll definitely use a yellow taxi. Try to get one on an avenue that’s going in the same direction you are $-$ you’ll save time and money. And don’t forget to leave a tip for the driver.
