A hundred years ago, the lamplighters in London were very busy men. It was their job , every evening, to light thousands of gas lamps in the city and the gentle light from those lamps was all that lit the foggy streets of Victorian London.
Nowadays, there are electric lamps in most London. They switch themselves on and off automatically and do the job of the lamplighter.
But some parts of London still have their traditional gas lamps which look just the same, though there is an automatic clock in them for switching them on and off.
So the lamplighter has just to reset it in each lamp once a week. There are 1.100 gas lamps in London. Most of them are in the parks and outside the Royal palaces. The Queen likes to preserve certain things coming down from the old good times and has gas lights outside Buckingham Palace. Westminster, the home of the Houses of the Parliament, has 400 , more than any other part of the capital. Naturally, traditions are important in that part of London and especially at the Temple where a lamplighter still goes round every evening to light the gas lamps by hand.
1. Are gas lamps still used in London?
No, they aren't used any longer.
Yes, they are used all over London.
Yes, they are still used in some parts of London.
2. Do the modern gas lamps look like the old ones?
No, they are altogether different.
Yes, they are rather alike.
Yes, they look quite the same.
3. How many gas lamps are there in London nowadays?
half a thousand
over a thousand
about two hundred
4. What do they still keep the gas lamps for?
for lighting up the streets
for saving electric lighting
for keeping tradition alive
5. In which part of London are there more gas lamps now?
at Westminster
in the suburbs of the capital
at the temple

TEST 2
1.Прочитайте текст и ответьте на следующие за ним вопросы, выбрав единственно правильный вариант ответа.
Work plays a very important role in Japan. A Japanese
says, "I belong to my company" and not "I work for my company". So a Japanese child, especially a boy, must work very hard, indeed. He begins to study seriously as soon as he starts going to school because if he doesn't pass all his exams he can't go to a good school and later to a good university - and so he can't get the good job he needs!
Because of this system Japanese children don't have as much time to play as children in most Western societies.
A lot of Japanese parents "arrange" marriages for their children. This is because they feel that marriage affects not only the young people, but the whole family. They believe that young people should have the same interests and social background to be happy after their marriage.
Sometimes parents go to a "matchmaker" whose job is to find a good pair and arrange for them to meet. If they like each other they get married. A lot of arranged marriages are very successful and help the tradition of the Japanese family to continue.
1. When does a Japanese begin to study seriously?

before he starts going to school as soon as he begins to attend school

2. Why does a Japanese child have to do well at school?
to pass his exams and enter a good university.
to please his parents.

3. Do Japanese children have as much spare time as children in Western countries?
No, they have no spare time at all.
Yes, they have a lot of time to spare for playing.
No, they have less spare time than children in Western countries.

when he graduates from a university
when he falls in love
