It <u>WAS (1)</u> friday afternoon. Mike and his friend Peter <u>WANTED (2)</u> to go to the cinema. They <u>DECIDED (3)</u> to see the new action film BLOOD DIAMOND with Leonardo DiCaprio. Peter <u>SAID (4)</u> that he was going to check the newspapers in order to see at what time the film is on schedule at their local cinema.
Peter <u>CALLED (5)</u> Mike and <u>TOLD (6)</u> him that the film starts at 7 p.m. Mike's dad <u>DROVE (7)</u> them to the cinema in his new car. The boys <u>ARRIVED (8)</u> at the cinema at 6:30 p.m. Mike <u>BOUGHT (9)</u> the tickets for the front row. They <u>WANTED (10)</u> to be as close to the action as possible. Peter <u>BOUGHT (11)</u> some pop-corn and M&M's. They <u>WENT (12)</u> to their seats in the front row.
They <u>WERE (13)</u> excited. They <u>COULDN'T (14)</u> wait for the film to start. After the usual commercial messages, the film finally <u>STARTED (15)</u>. As the music <u>STARTED (16)</u><em></em>loud and the screen <u>WAS (17)</u> dark for a few seconds, Peter's and Mike's eyes <u>WERE (18)</u> glued to the screen as the film title appeared: HAPPY FEET.
Mike and Peter were silent. The even <u>STOPPED (19)</u> breathing for a few seconds. They <u>WAITED (20)</u> for the title to change from HAPPY FEET to BLOOD DIAMOND. But the title <u>DIDN'T CHANGE (21)</u>. All of a sudden the screen <u>WAS (22)</u> full of animated penguins. The two of them <u>FELT (24)</u> to laugh out loud. They almost <u>FELL (25)</u> off their seats from laughter.
They <u>LOOKED (26)</u> at each other and <u>DECIDED (27)</u> to stay and see the film till the end. Instead of beind in the middle of an action film, they were in the middle of the North Pole.
They <u>WERE (28)</u> very happy after this film. Their parents <u>LAUGHED (29)</u> too when they <u>TOLD (30)</u> them what <u>HAPPENED (31)</u>.
"Next time I'll check the newspapers," said Mike when they <u>GOT (32)</u> home.
Твой друг хороший или плохой ученик ? Почему ?
Старый мужчина показал Джеку бобы, но Джек потряс головой.
"Я не хочу бобы. Мне нужны деньги. У нас дома нет еды."
Старый мужчина сказал Джеку, что эти бобы особенные.
"Но эти бобы волшебные. Возьми их, и ты увидишь,что я имел в виду."
Джек взял бобы и старый мужчина взял Дейзи, корову. Джек побежал домой и отдал бобы его (Джека) маме. Но миссис Тротт была очень зла. Она не хотела бобы. Она хотела деньги, и она накричала на Джека.
"Мы не можем купить еду за бобы!" ( Или "Мы не можем купить еду с бобами!")
The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. Its species name refers to its camel-like appearance and the patches of color on its fur. Its chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones and its distinctive coat patterns. It stands 5–6 m (16–20 ft) tall and has an average weight of 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) for males and 830 kg (1,800 lb) for females. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. The 9 subspecies are distinguished by their coat patterns.
The giraffe's scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands. Their primary food source is acacia leaves, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. Giraffes are preyed on by lions, and calves are also targeted by leopards, spotted hyenas and wild dogs. Adult giraffes do not have strong social bonds, though they do gather in loose aggregations if they happen to be moving in the same general direction. Males establish social hierarchies through "necking", which are combat bouts where the neck is used as a weapon. Dominant males gain mating access to females, which bear the sole responsibility for raising the young.
<span>The giraffe has intrigued various cultures, both ancient and modern, for its peculiar appearance, and has often been featured in paintings, books and cartoons. It is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as Least Concern, but has been extirpated from many parts of its former range, and some subspecies are classified as Endangered. Nevertheless, giraffes are still found in numerous national parks and game reserves.</span>
