Betty Botter Bought Some Better Butter
Betty Botter bought some butter
But she said the butter's bitter,
"If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter,
But a bit of better butter
Will make my batter better."
So she bought some better butter
Better than the bitter butter,
And she put it in her batter
And her batter was not bitter,
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

If you want to think and live green, the first thing you should reconsider is how you use water. Water shortages are a big problem all over the world. So, it is important to get serious about saving water. Check if there is any leak and fix it as you may be losing a lot of water because of it.
There are also many lifestyle changes you can introduce to save more water. Don’t run the tap when you brush your teeth. It’s also a good idea to install a special water-saving shower head. You may also shorten your time in the shower and prefer showers to baths. If you are going to use a dishwasher or a washing machine, make sure it’s full. It will also help you to save water and energy. You can use only cold water to wash your linen and collect grey water for watering plants. Finally, a lot of water is wasted in the kitchen while cooking or rinsing dishes, so install special devices to control the use of water in the kitchen.

When you are thinking of starting to live green, your cooking habits are probably the last area where you think you need some improvement. However, being smart in the kitchen is very important for a truly eco-friendly lifestyle. One important example is that you can lose a lot of heat if you open an oven door while baking something. Even if you do it for a short period of time, it will take a significant amount of energy to heat the oven back up.
Another important problem is buying pre-packaged products. Billions of plastic packages like milk bottles or coffee capsules end up in landfills. It is much better to buy products with packages that can be recycled. Use energy-saving cooking methods and turn on your dishwasher only when it’s full. Don’t buy too much food not to throw the leftovers away. These simple steps are in fact a great contribution to fighting environmental problems.

If you want to live green, you will have to reconsider many aspects of your life. Housecleaning is certainly one of them. We clean our homes on a regular basis, but we rarely think about what products we use to do it. Using harmful chemicals to clean is very bad for the environment. When you wash them away, you are simply putting them into the global water supply. This means water will have to take more purification before it is safe enough to use it again.
The obvious solution is to use natural products like vinegar, lemons and soda which can easily cope with most dirt in your house. When you go shopping for cleaning products, make sure they don’t contain any harmful ingredients. Do not forget that some cleaning products may actually be toxic and thus damage your health, so check for that as well. This is an easy way to contribute to fighting pollution all over the world.

A. Charles Darwin's five-year voyage on H. M. S. Beagle has become legendary and greatly influenced his masterwork, the book, On the Origin of Species. Darwin didn't actually formulate his theory of evolution while sailing around the world aboard the Royal Navy ship. But the exotic plants and animals he encountered challenged his thinking and led him to consider scientific evidence in new ways.
B. The 19th century was a remarkable time for exploration. Vast portions of the globe, such as the interior of Africa, were mapped by explorers and adventurers. It was the time when David Livingstone became convinced of his mission to reach new peoples in Africa and introduce them to Christianity, as well as free them from slavery.
C. Louis Pasteur's various investigations convinced him of the Tightness of his germ theory of disease, which holds that germs attack the body from outside. Many felt that such tiny organisms as germs could not possibly kill larger ones such as humans. But Pasteur extended this theory to explain the causes of many diseases — including cholera, ТВ and smallpox — and their prevention by vaccination.
D. Frederick Law Olmsted, the architect who designed New York City's Central Park, called the Yosemite Valley «the greatest glory of nature.» Californians convinced one of their representatives, Senator John Conness, to do something about its protection. In May 1864, Conness introduced legislation to bring the Yosemite Valley under the control of the state of California. President Abraham Lincoln signed the bill into law.
E. The Maya thrived for nearly 2,000 years. Without the use of the cartwheel or metal tools, they built massive stone structures. They were accomplished scientists. They tracked a solar year of 365 days and one of the few surviving ancient Maya books contains tables of eclipses. From observatories, like the one at Chichen Itza, they tracked the progress of the war star, Mars.
F. Bali has been a surfing hotspot since the early 20th century, and continues to attract surfers from all over the world. The island's small size and unique geography provides wonderful surfing conditions, in all seasons, for surfers of any level of experience. Inexperienced surfers might like to try Kuta's kind waves, while more able surfers will try Nusa Dua's powerful waves.
G. Base jumping is an extreme sport, one which only very adventurous travelers enjoy. Some base jumpers leap off bridges, others off buildings and the most extreme off cliffs in Norway. Once a year, base jumpers in the US get to leap off the New River Bridge in West Virginia. During the annual Bridge Day, hundreds of jumpers can go off the bridge legally. Thousands of spectators show up to watch.

Forests on Fire
There are some places where you can expect wildfires. In California, fires burn from 50,000 to 500,000 acres of land every year. Some of the plants A_______________________ have oily sap. They can survive the dry, hot summers, but if they catch fire they explode into flame. Grasses grow thick during the spring rains and then die. They dry into a thick layer of straw B_______________________, making a very hot fire.
Fires can start wherever there’s fuel to burn. Southern California has plenty of fuel and a hot, dry wind C_______________________ between mid-September and late October. This wind, called the Santa Ana, passes over the inland desert, D_______________________, and rushes toward the ocean to the west. The Santa Ana wind fans the flames and makes fighting the fires nearly impossible.
In 1988, Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park was burned by several fires at once. Lightning struck in two places. A worker dropped a lit cigarette in another place. On the worst day of fire, more than 600 square kilometers of forest burned. Clouds of smoke E_______________________ rose into the atmosphere. Smoke blocked the sun and drifted far beyond the park.
Firefighters work hard to control fires like those in Yellowstone and California, F_______________________. But long before humans learned how to start or put out a fire, prairies and forests burned every year. Both kinds of land recovered, as they have in Yellowstone and in California.
1. that burns fast
2. many of which are caused by people
3. that blows every year

Reading Task 3
What Do You See in a Logo?
The typical person is bombarded by hundreds of logos each day. We see them on signs, vehicles, television, and even on the clothes we wear. Logos are distinct images used to represent brands. There are logos such as the famous Nike "swoosh", the colorful rings to identify the Olympic Games, and the Mercedes three-pointed star in the circle, just to name a few. All of these logos are designed to attract our attention. They also help us remember a product or service connected to that image. However, research conducted at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) supports the idea that remembering what a logo looks like is a very difficult task.
In 2015 researchers at UCLA gave 85 students a simple assignment. They had to draw the Apple logo purely from memory. Most of the students were Apple users, so they had the opportunity to look at the logo every day. Surprisingly, only one student in the study could accurately draw the logo from memory. Many of the sketches the other students made were flawed. Some of them drew the basics right but missed minor details of the design — no bite out of the apple or the wrong number of leaves. At first the researchers thought the problem might be that the students were just not very good at drawing. They decided to ask the students to look at several different images and choose the logo that was most accurate. Less than half of the students could detect the correct image.
The UCLA Apple study is not the first time our ability to remember the details of images has been tested with the same result. So why is it so difficult for people to recall the details of images, such as logos, that they see every day? Researchers have developed a theory they think might help to explain this blind spot in our memories.
Logos are typically designed to be simple and easy to recognize with a quick glance. Yet the frequent exposure to these logos can actually make our brains overlook them. This process is known as "attentional saturation". It would be challenging to try to remember every single thing that crosses our path. We take in so much information every day that the brain works to spot information that does not need to be stored. It allows this unimportant information to fade from our memory. Our brains actually signal us to ignore information we do not think we will need to remember.
The details of product logos are just the kind of information our brains tell us we do not need. This may be discouraging to logo designers and to companies that use these eye-catching logos. But there are still many business experts who believe in the importance of a recognizable logo.
Even though the brain is accustomed to ignoring unnecessary details, it is also programmed for recognition. When we see images such as logos over and over again, we become familiar with them. This constant exposure leads to something scientists refer to as gist memory. "Gist memory" means that our brain remembers the basic idea without all of the details. This general sense of memory has its own benefits. When we see that "swoosh" or the apple with a bite out of it, we are acquainted with the image. We may not be able to draw a perfect outline of the logo, but we are able to recognize the image. When people are able to recognize an image, it can make them feel like they really know the product behind the logo. In fact, familiarity with a prevalent logo can even make people feel more comfortable about purchasing or using certain products.
1) prove a point.
2) give an example.
3) offer an opinion.
4) support the idea.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
1) The results of the research study.
2) The popularity of Apple products.
3) The elements of the Apple logo.
4) The students' poor drawing skills.
14. What example of "attentional saturation" does the author give in the article?
1) Companies use memorable logos to represent their brands.
2) Business experts believe that brand logos are important.
3) Students couldn't remember details of a familiar image.
4) Researchers gave students a simple task to complete.
spot in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to the word …
1) notice.
2) place.
3) ignore.
4) learn.
16. "Gist memory" occurs when the brain…
1) pays attention to specific details.
2) gets acquainted with a new image.
3) connects the image to the product.
4) notices the general shape or idea.
17. According to the last paragraph, people are more likely to buy a product if they …
1) notice a clever logo design and want to try a new product.
2) see a colourful label and want to read the information on it.
3) recognize the logo and think that they know the product well.
4) glance quickly at a brand and are attracted to the packaging.
18. How does the author organize the article?
1) By describing problems of logos and then offering ideas on improving them.
2) By presenting research on logos and then showing how the human brain works.
3) By listing familiar logos and showing their role in advertising campaigns.
4) By comparing common logos and then identifying the most effective ones.

Immediate families are another type of family. This includes just the parents and their children. Immediate families can be found in both nuclear and single-parent families.
Blended families are becoming more common as well. These families include children from previous relationships or marriages. The new spouse becomes a stepparent to the children, creating a blended family.
Single-parent families are families with only one parent. This could be due to divorce, separation, or death of a partner. Single parents work hard to provide for their children and offer them love and support.
Regardless of the type of family, they all share a bond of love and support for each other. Each family is unique and special in its own way.

The life of Indians is centered in the family. Extended families often live together, with two or more adult generations, or brothers, sharing a house. In much of the countryside, neighbouring houses share a wall, so from the street one sees a continuous wall pierced by doorways. In other areas, in the south for example, the main house will have a veranda on the street, with an open courtyard behind. As people get richer, they introduce improvements like tiled roofs to their houses. Most home activity is outside in the compound courtyard or on the verandas of the house.
Only in a few parts of India do people live on their farmland. The village is thus is a settlement area, or a set of settlement areas, surrounded by unbroken fields, with farms frequently made up of separated plots. A large village will have a primary school, and a small shop or two.

English Reading Practice "Our Human Rights"
1. Watch the video .2. Read the article "Our Human Rights" just below it.
3. Do the exercise at the bottom of the page.
Here is the Story of Human Rights video. You can watch it in your own language at www.youthforhumanrights.org. (Simply click the word "langauge" at the top of their homepage.)
In 1948 a special United Nations commission, headed by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, wrote a special document which stated the rights that all people should have. This document is called the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
"Universal" means "of all the people in the world."
A "declaration" is a formal announcement.
"Human rights" are the rights that each person has, simply because he or she is human.
The human rights are there to protect us and help us live in peace. For example, "the right to life" is a human right. Each and every one of us has the right to life, simply because we are human.
Another example is "the right to freedom of thought." We all have the right to believe in what we want to believe, to have a religion, or to change it if we want.
Studying and knowing our human rights is as important today as it was after World War II. This is because when people don't know their natural rights things such as injustice, discrimination, intolerance and slavery can happen.
The more aware people are to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the closer we get to a peaceful, free and fair world.
And now, practice: Fill in the gaps (follow the link)

Разница между remind, remember, recall, recollect, memorize
Глаголы remind, remember, recall, recollect, memorise так или иначе связаны с запоминанием информации.
1. REMEMBER
Слово remember встречается чаще других синонимов.
По данным Cambridge Dictionary, глагол remember означает «возможность восстановить или хранить в своей памяти какую-либо информацию».
Remember употребляется, когда нужно:
1. сказать о том, что вы помните какое-то действие — to remember doing smth
I remember walking into the pub. — Я помню, как заходил в бар.
2. сказать, что вы точно что-то помните — to remember rightly/correctly
It was August, 2nd, if I remember correctly. — Это было 2 августа, если я правильно помню.
I clearly remember whiskey was Johnny Walker. — Я четко помню, виски был Джонни Уокер.
4. рассказать о деталях какого-то воспоминания — to remember when/where/how
I even remember when I got home! — Я даже помню, когда я пришел домой.
Здесь важно подчеркнуть, что после глагола remember может стоять как инфинитив (глагол в начальной форме), так и герундий (глагол с окончанием -ing).
Смысл сказанного будет зависеть от формы глагола, например:
I remember to visit my grandmother. — Я помню, что нужно навестить бабушку.
В первом предложении мы говорим о том, что нужно не забыть выполнить действие в будущем, а во втором примере мы вспоминаем, как уже выполнили действие.
2. REMIND
Глагол remind переводится как «напоминать».
Отличие remind от remember заключается в том, что remind означает «побудить кого-то вспомнить информацию», а remember — «помнить какую-либо информацию».
Рассмотрим наиболее популярные случаи употребления глагола remind:
1. напомнить кому-то сделать что-то — to remind someone to do something, to remind (somebody) that, to remind somebody about something
My mom always reminds me to put my hat on. — Моя мама постоянно напоминает мне надевать шапку.
2. когда одна ситуация/предмет/человек напоминают другую ситуацию/предмет/человека — to remind somebody of, to remind someone what/when/where/how
My colleague reminds me of my classmate. — Мой коллега напоминает мне моего одноклассника.
3. RECALL / RECOLLECT
Recall означает «восстанавливать в памяти какие-либо события или факты, чтобы этим поделиться».
I can still recall how Margareth entered the room. — Я до сих пор помню, как Маргарет зашла в комнату.
Recall используется:
1. когда что-то вызывает определенную ассоциацию
This building recalls the baroque style. — Это здание напоминает стиль барокко.
2. когда какие-то события или предметы вызывают определенные воспоминания
This song recalls that wonderful evening. — Эта песня напоминает мне тот чудесный вечер.
Recollect и recall — синонимичные слова, но стоит учесть, что recollect чаще используется в формальной беседе.
I can hardly recollect the events of that evening. — Я с трудом могу восстановить в памяти события того вечера.
MEMORIZE
Memorize переводится как «запоминать», «заучивать».
Этот глагол предполагает проделывание определенных усилий для запоминания чего-либо наизусть.
Sally memorized all her coworkers’ names just in a week! — Салли запомнила имена всех своих коллег только через неделю!
CHECK YOURSELF:
1. Напомни мне, пожалуйста, удалить мои сообщения из Facebook.
2. На уроках актерского мастерства нам приходилось заучивать длинные монологи.
3. Мозговой штурм был напрасен. Я не могу вспомнить ни одной из идей.
4. Я просила тебя больше не устраивать драку в театре, ты помнишь?
5. Это пугало напоминает мне фильм «Джиперс Криперс»!
6. Его новая песня напоминает один из хитов the Beatles.
7. Даже не пытайся запомнить мой пароль. Я завтра его поменяю.
8. Я до сих пор помню каждую деталь его костюма.
9. Мое мобильное приложение напоминает мне придерживаться диеты.
10. Я четко помню, как сохранил документ на диске.
11. Ты помнишь о том, что надо проверять почту каждый день?
12. Можешь мне напомнить о нашей поездке?
********
HOWEVER
However means ‘but’.
However is normally used at the beginning of a sentence, before a comma (,) and after a full stop (.) or a semicolon (;).
- We didn’t like the hotel. However, we had a good time.
- I would like to have a dog; however, my husband is allergic to dogs.
ALTHOUGH
Although means ‘despite the fact that’, or ‘but’.
Although can be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. We do NOT use a comma after although; we use although + subject + verb.
- Although he had a bad leg, he still won the game.
- I passed the exam, although I hadn’t studied.

ancestors. The traits that we today recognize as human evolved over a period of approximately six million years. One of the earliest human traits was the ability to walk on two legs. This ability evolved some four million years ago. A large and complex brain, the ability to use tools and the capacity for language have developed more recently. Some studies lead us to believe that humans have some relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Scientists say that humans and the great apes of Africa — chimpanzees and gorillas — share a common ancestor who lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. However, researchers do not all agree about how these species are related to the modern human. Genetic research into this relationship has produced some controversial results and more discoveries, perhaps sensational ones, are to be expected. |

Islands that appear and disappear are certainly part of the world's legends. But in 1963, with the aid of cameras and scientific observers, some of those legends were given a solid basis of fact. For example, on November 13, 1963, a kind of miracle occured. An island was born.
On that day a fishing boat sailed into waters that were boiling and rolling and foul with a strong smell. The world still had a hard time believing the miracle that was to occur. It was the first time that scientists were to witness the unexpected birth of an underwater island.
First the engineer, then the captain, and at last the cook were aware of awful smell and the peculiar roll of the sea. But it was the cook who first noticed the smoke. He thought there was a ship in trouble somewhere on the seas.

Nicotine is colourless. In theory, cigarettes can be made out of potato or tomato leaves. Some programmes designed to help people stop smoking also advise giving up potatoes and tomatoes in order to eliminate low-level nicotine intake completely. In small doses, the nicotine compound that is present in all these plants produces feelings of pleasure. That’s why tobacco is more addictive than either cocaine or heroin. But it’s also why we sometimes find ourselves craving chips or pizza.
In large doses, however, nicotine is as deadly as the nightshade whose relative it is. The nicotine in a single cigarette, if taken direct into the bloodstream, would be fatal. Eating one cigarette could make you severely ill. Swallowing a packet of ten would definitely kill you. In 1976, the Department of Health urged pregnant mothers to wear rubber gloves when peeling potatoes. More than a kilogram of potatoes eaten at a single sitting would be certain death.

1. Despite its status as a proverbial fact, a goldfish’s memory isn’t a few seconds long. Research demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that goldfish have a memory-span of at least three months and can distinguish between different shapes, colours and sounds. They were trained to push a lever to earn a food reward; when the lever was fixed to work only for an hour a day, the fish soon learned to activate it at the correct time. A number of similar studies have shown that farmed fish can easily be trained to feed at particular times and places in response to an audible signal.
Goldfish don’t swim into the side of the bowl, not because they can see it, but because they are using a pressure-sensing system called the lateral line. Certain species of blind cave fish are able to navigate perfectly well in their lightless environment by using their lateral line system alone.
2. Is French toast from France? Yes and no. Dipping bread in eggs and frying it is a pretty universal solution to making stale bread go further. The French certainly had a medieval version and this later became a name that has been enthusiastically adopted for the de luxe versions. The earliest recorded recipe for the dish occurs in the work of the Roman cook in the first century AD. In his book The Art of Cooking, he writes, rather casually, that it’s just another sweet dish.
However, the dish was also sometimes referred to as ‘Poor Knights of Windsor’. One theory offered in explanation is that the most expensive part of a medieval banquet was dessert – spices and nuts were costly imports. Although titled, not all knights were rich, so a dish of fried eggy-bread served with jam or honey would have fulfilled the requirements of etiquette without breaking the bank.

Pros and Cons of Home Education
- The family might have different religious beliefs that those taught (or not taught) in public school. Homeschooling allows you to choose whether to incorporate religion or not.
- Homeschool might offer more specialized educational attention for special needs children.
- Parents may have different educational philosophies than public school administrators and teachers. With homeschool, you choose what philosophies to follow.
- Children may progress faster in a homeschool setting than in public school.
- Schooling at home may promote a closer familiar relationship – many parents find that they enjoy spending extra time with their kids in homeschool.
- Public school options in the area may not offer the preferred degree of educational quality.
- Homeschool can save time since you don’t have to transport your children to and from school every day. The school day can actually be shortened for children.
- Public school has a built-in structure. Children, particularly young children, thrive on routine and they require a lot of attention and care. If you are trying to homeschool your children while also being a stay-at-home mom, you may find it more challenging than you imagine.
- Many public schools offer sports and elective options like art and music – these programs may not be available to homeschool students.
- A public school teaches children a certain degree of independence. Depending on the grade, children need to keep track of their own class schedules, find their way from one class to another, purchase their own lunch, and make it to and from the bus every day.
- Teachers are public schools are required to carry education degrees and they may have more experience working with and teaching children. Teaching a child is different from parenting a child and many parents struggle to do both.
- Public school is typically cheaper than homeschool. You could spend $1,000 or more on a homeschool curriculum alone, not to mention supplies. For a public school, you have to buy supplies once or twice a year and you can pack your child’s lunch to save money.
- Children who attend public school have more opportunities for social interaction than many homeschool students. There are homeschool co-ops that can be helpful, but a public school has built-in social benefits.
- Sending your children to public school frees you up to just be a parent. Doing double-duty as both teacher and parent can be both grueling and frustrating at times – especially if you have other non-school-age children to care for.
- Public school gives you and your child some much-needed time apart which helps to foster your child’s independence and gives you a break as well. There is no harm in needing a break from your kids once in a while.
- In addition to the benefits listed above, there are some downsides to public school. For example, public school has a more rigorous and regimented schedule than most homeschool programs and students may not have the same degree of freedom and flexibility to customize their education. But unless you can fully commit yourself to creating and implementing a strong homeschool curriculum, your child may be better off in public school anyway.
