Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer and the first European to reach India by sea. His initial voyage to India in 1497—1499 was the first to link Europe and Asia by an ocean route, connecting the Atlantic and the Indian oceans and, in this way, the West and the Orient. Traveling the ocean route allowed the Portuguese to avoid sailing across the highly disputed Mediterranean and traversing the dangerous Arabian Peninsula. Unopposed access to the Indian spice routes boosted the economy of the Portuguese Empire, which was previously based along northern and coastal West Africa. The spices obtained from Southeast Asia were primarily pepper and cinnamon at first, but soon included other products, all new to Europe. Portugal maintained a commercial monopoly of these commodities for several decades. It would be a century later before other European powers such as the Netherlands and England, followed by France and Denmark, were able to challenge Portugal’s monopoly and naval supremacy in the Cape Route.

A. The first thing that a good speaker does is looks at the audience and takes a pause before beginning his speech. This helps to create a good impression on the audience. Throughout the speech, the speaker should maintain eye contact with the listeners, otherwise they will feel that they are being ignored and it is quite likely that they also ignore whatever he is trying to convey.

B. Proper variation in emotion and tempo of the voice improves the quality of performance. Accurate pronunciation of words with due stresses wherever required must be done. One more important thing while communicating is that your voice must be clear and loud enough for the audience to hear it. A loud voice can be a strong point for being an effective speaker.

C. Concentrate on your ideas and do not get distracted by the activities performed by the audience, for example, smiling or whispering. To make your communication successful get the clue about the listeners and their interests. Think over the age, sex and background of the people. See whether the audience is patient enough to handle you for hours. Check out if they are friendly or hostile.

D. Facial expressions reveal what thoughts are running through a person’s mind. So while communicating, make sure that your facial expressions reveal your interest for the subject on which you are communicating. The body movements while speaking must coordinate with your convincing power. They must add to the things which are more effectively caught visually than verbally.

E. If you are trying to improve your own communication, concentrate on ways to make your nonverbal signals match the level of formality necessitated by the situation. Some situations require more formal behaviour that might be interpreted very differently in any other setting. So when you are communicating with others, always take into account the situation in which the communication occurs.

F. Don’t be afraid to pause and breathe. Listeners need time to reflect on what you are saying. Just like we need «white space’ and punctuation on the written page, we need pauses when we speak. Talking non-stop is a huge drawback. Having the confidence to pause for a few seconds in between sentences commands attention rather than diverts it.

G. The appearance plays an important role in presenting ourselves to society. The people who wear clothes suitable to their body structure look attractive. A person’s physical appearance creates a definite impact on the communication process. Our clothes should not be too modern for the people whom we are interacting with. However, they should be able to create a positive impression on them.

Satellite TV


Ever wonder ___ (A)? There’s actually quite a bit of science going on behind the scenes, with several components working together to bring you that digital quality signal.

Your channel selection begins with the programming sources themselves. Companies like Showtime, HBO or Cinemax create their programming. Channel providers then purchase rights to this programming ___ (B). Once a provider has their programming in place, they turn their attention to the broadcast centre to compress and convert the programming for satellite broadcast.

Your Dish Network Programming originally arrives as a digital stream of video, which is then compressed and converted through an encoder, typically using the MPEG2 format. This format reduces the overall size of the video, ___ (C).

Once encoded, the video is then encrypted ___ (D). After the video has been encrypted, it is sent to the provider’s satellite, strategically positioned in the sky.

The satellite itself uses a dish similar to your own satellite dish, to receive the video and send it back down to Earth. When the satellite sends the signal back down to Earth, it is picked up by your satellite dish, a small round antenna that receives the satellite’s broadcast and sends the video on to your satellite TV receiver.

The satellite TV receiver is that little black box that sits inside your home and allows you to choose ___ (E). The receiver actually performs several important functions in the satellite viewing process, including the decryption of the signal itself. If you remember, the satellite signal was scrambled by the provider to protect it from unpaying consumers. Your receiver «de-scrambles’ that signal and converts the signal into a format ___ (F). Together these amazing components create a vividly clear digital picture for over 200 satellite channels.


1. which channel you want to watch

2. including a power source and a computer system

3. so that the broadcast can only be viewed by paying subscribers

4. so that they can broadcast the shows via satellite

5. how your satellite TV system works

6. making it possible for a satellite to broadcast hundreds of channels at the same time

7. that your television can handle


Ответ… A – B – C – D – E – F

Justice Hurts


At this time, William’s trial was nearing its end in the courthouse, and everything became clear. The jurors had grown tired over the course of the case but listened to the judge pronouncing William’s sentence. Things had clearly come to a sad end.

«…despite the lack of evidence of a premeditated murder, pursuant to Paragraph 210 of Part 2 of the USA’s Criminal Code, even the unintentional loss of a person’s life during a robbery, rape, arson, kidnapping or escape from custody must be considered in any case as an extreme indifference to the value of human life, and must be qualified as a first-degree murder. Therefore, the court pronounces a sentence of two life sentences for each murder and the verdict comes into force from the moment of this announcement.»

There were no further comments from anyone. It wasn’t a death sentence. They let him him live. Everyone in the court room looked round in surprise, not daring to express any emotions. William even looked up at the judge, trying to understand what had just happened, but he didn’t succeed. His head was empty and he couldn’t think straight; William’s mind was already dead and a life sentence was no different for him than death, so all the way back to prison he rolled in the back of the van in a complete daze.

In the cell, its narrow walls seemed to shrink even more, as William’s eyes reacted to changes in lighting and in the darkness, his mind wandered to a darker place as he thought the depths of a grave probably looked the same.

William stood inside the cell, hearing the door lock, and he couldn’t take any step forward. He forced himself to look around at the walls and think carefully. He had to talk to his friend Tom again. He approached the door and called a guard over, telling him the request. The guard didn’t answer, leaving William alone with the silence, and the waiting game began. The next morning, he was informed about his impending transfer to another prison, and in the afternoon, the door to William’s cell suddenly opened, and he was informed of a visitor.

«Thomas?», William asked, sitting up.

«What?» the guard asked.

«Is it Thomas Wilson, the detective officer?»

«No,» the guard responded coldly.

«The lawyer?» asked William, less enthusiastic than before.

«No. Turn around and face the wall with your arms stretched out,» it was an order, not a question.

The walk down from the third floor felt like an eternity for William. When he finally reached the glass screen in the visitation room, he couldn’t believe his eyes. The small reporter, Linda Wu, sat in front of him on a wooden chair, holding her purse.

«Hold it,» a voice was heard from behind William and the guard handed him a book. William saw that this book wasn’t in the best condition and had many torn pages and looked crumpled.

«I was asked to give this to you,» Linda said from behind the glass, weakly.

«What? Who gave it you?» William was at a loss as to who’d sent him the book. It had an unassuming and uninteresting cover – it was some kind of romance.

«There, take a look inside,» Linda replied. «I was told that you were looking forward to seeing this photo,» she said, trying to smile, but her face instead showed sadness and sympathy for William’s situation.

«A photograph?» William muttered, taking an envelope from the middle of the book. Surely, this must’ve been scanned before it had got to him to make sure it wasn’t contraband. He opened the envelope to find a Polaroid photograph of a little girl wearing a white raincoat and beret. She stood on the embankment near a large bridge and squinted in the sun, very much like his own daughter. «This looks like Sofia!» he thought, before realizing what had actually happened in the courthouse. It was worse than the life sentences he’d been ordered to serve – William had to live with the thought that Sofia had a daughter and that she lived with someone else.

William clenched his fists and looked up at Linda behind the glass.

«Are you alright? What’s wrong?» she asked.

«This is Sofia’s daughter, I’m certain of it,» William said approaching the glass. «She stayed with that person who’s behind all this, see?» he stopped and realised that the only person that could help was sitting right in front of him. «Linda, listen to me,» he whispered. «Can you find Thomas Wilson for me? My partner, the detective officer… He’s been transferred to the Phoenix’s office; can you find him and tell him I’ve remembered something?»

Suddenly, Linda pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling. She removed her mask and took out a napkin to wipe her nose.

«I’m sorry, I wanted to make you feel better. I’m so sorry. I’ve got a lot of time, though, now, as I’ve got no job, the channel is closed. I think I might be able to move to Phoenix and find work, although it might be difficult.»

«Really?» William couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. «Then, I beg you, write down what I’ve asked you… shit, there isn’t a pen and paper. Okay, try and remember what I’ve asked you and write it down, when you get out of here. Contact Jimmy Huston in the police office, he should tell you where Tom is now.»

«I will, don’t worry,» Linda said with a reassuring tone.

«So, listen. When I entered the hotel room, Fred Brown called me «Dannie’. Let Tom find everyone with this name in the cases I’ve investigated. I’m certain that this «Danny’ must’ve lived here in the city. This man is close to the real killer and he must be found – he’s very important. I’m certain that my granddaughter is with him. Please tell Tom about this, and stop crying. I’ve got two life sentences to serve. Thanks for coming Linda, it’s not for nothing, I’m certain. Yes, justice hurts, but I’ll await your return.»

(Adapted from Justice Hurts by Igor Yevtishenkov)
