It’s interesting to know…...that Alfred Nobel, Swedish chemist and engineer, was known for the invention of dynamite. Everything that he invented served military purposes. He understood how terrible his inventions were, but he easily forgot about them saying: "The things which we develop are terrible indeed, but they are so interesting and so perfect technically that it makes them more attractive." But one morning, while looking through a French newspaper Nobel read about... his own death. The paper described his inventions as a "terrible means of destruction" and he was named "a dynamite king" and "a merchant of death". The thought that his name would always be connected with dynamite and death shook Nobel. He felt he could never be happy again. He decided to use all his money (about 2,000,000 pounds) for some noble purpose. According to his will, prizes for "the most outstanding achievements" in physics, chemistry, medicine, physiology, literature and fight for peace are awarded every year. Nobel prizes have become the highest international scientific awards. Perhaps it's an irony of life that some of Nobel prize winners helped to make the atom bomb. Контрольная работа № 2 по английскому языку для студентов заочного отделения, обучающихся по всем техническим направлениям и специальностям II семестр Вариант 5I. Прочтите и переведите текст (устно). SIBERIAN OIL GIANTUntil Surgut’s vast oil reserves began to be exploited in the late 70s, the territory bordering the river Ob saw only Khanti tribes, that camped on patches of dry land and survived on fish and berries. Now Surgut is a town of 260,000 people, most of whom work for one of the Russia’s biggest oil companies. At the time when production is collapsing at other oil companies, during the financial crisis, they manage to have stable, low-cost production and look much better positioned than most competitors in the field of oil production. Today Surgut is the Russian oil industry’s lowest-cost profitable producer. Most investments go toward improving existing oil fields, rather than making new ones. The company has invested much in horizontal drilling which can increase fivefold the flow of an old well. Half of the horizontal wells worked out in Russia at the end of the 20th century are drilled in Surgut. Millions have already been invested in roads, power lines and pipelines in the area. Analysts recognize Surgut’s power and say it is the best oil company in Russia today. But the labour conditions are rather hard in Surgut. In Canada, drilling platforms are enclosed in concrete walls, which enable the workers to be protected from cold. In Surgut, which is situated near the Arctic Circle, the platforms are open, and at temperatures of minus 50 degrees, the eyes of the workers are sometimes shut with freeze. But most people in Surgut are true Siberians who don’t want to live and work anywhere else. II. Выберите правильный вариант ответа на вопросы по тексту. 1. What is Surgut famous for?

Mikhail Lomonosov, the famous Russian scientist, once said that the increase of Russia’s power would come from Siberia. That these words said more than 200 years ago were true is quite evident today. Siberia is extremely rich in natural resources, and the potential of Siberian power generation is truly unique: cheap coal and powerful rivers are in abundance there. One of the main objectives of the programme of Siberia development is to transform the region into the major national fuel and energy base. Among the strategic ways for accelerating economic growth of Siberia was the Baikal-Amur Railway, known as BAM, and the development of the lands around it. The construction of the BAM main line was completed in 1984. Great difficulties had to be overcome during the construction of the railway. It runs through the taiga, huge marshes and rivers. Though the BAM main line lies in approximately the same latitude as Moscow, Copenhagen and Glasgow, winter here lasts for eight months with temperatures down to -60ºC and snow up to one metre deep.

DAILY PROGRAMMENow I am going to tell you a few things about myself. As you already know, my wife Helen studies at a medical college and is going to become a medical nurse. I study too, but not in the daytime as Helen does. I am an evening student. Last year I entered the Extramural Polytechnical Institute.1 If you think that it is easy to work in the daytime and to study in the evening at the same time, you are mistaken.2 It takes a lot of effort.3 I have my hands full the whole week.4 On weekdays the alarm-clock wakes me up at 6.30. I jump out of bed, open the window and do my morning gymnastics, then I go to the bathroom, take a shower, shave, clean my teeth and brush my hair. After that I go to my bedroom to get dressed. I don’t spend much time on my breakfast, I have time only for a cup of coffee and a sandwich or two. While having breakfast, I listen to the latest news on the radio. I leave the house at 7.30 and go to the nearest underground station. It takes me an hour and a half to get to work5. I arrive at work at ten minutes to nine though my working day begins at 9 sharp to get everything ready. I work from 9 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon with an hour’s break from 1 to 2 o’clock for lunch. Three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have lectures, classes and lab work at the Institute. So after work I hurry to the Institute. After classes I come home and have supper. In the evening I usually watch TV, read newspapers or talk to my wife. I go to bed at 12 o’clock. On Sunday, when I have my day off, I get up a little later and in the evening I go to the theatre, to the Philharmonic, if there is a good concert, or I stay at home and read some favourite book.
