Text 1. BRITISH FAMILY
A “typical” British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but (1)___________ there have been many changes in family life. Some of there have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage (2)__________ now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, unmarried couples and single parents.
Another change has been caused by the faсt that people are living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people’s lives, there are many households which consist of only one person or (3)__________.
You might think that marriage and the family are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.
Members of a family – grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins – keep in touch, but they see less of each other than they used to. This is because people often move away from their home town to work, and so the family becomes scattered. Christmas is the traditional season for reunions. Although the family group is smaller nowadays (4)____________, relatives often travel many miles in order to spend the holiday together.
In general, each generation is keen to become independent (5)_________ in establishing its own family unit, and this fact can lead to social as well as geographical differences within the larger family group.

Text 2. NATIONAL SPORT
1. Many kinds of sport originated from England. The English have a proverb, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. They do not think that play is more important than work; they think that Jack will do his work better if he plays as well; so he is encouraged to do both. Association football, or soccer is one of the most popular games in the British Isles played from late August until the beginning of May. In summer the English national sport is cricket. When the English say: 'that's not cricket' it means 'that's not fair', 'to play the game means 'to be fair',
2. Golf is Scotland's chief contribution to British sport. Sporting life in Britain is close to the social class of the players or spectators except where a game may be said to be a 'national' sport. This is the case with cricket in England which is played and watched by all classes. This is true of golf, which is everywhere in the British Isles a middle-class activity. Rugby Union, the amateur variety of Rugby football, is the Welsh national sport played by all sections of society, whereas elsewhere it too is a game for the middle classes. Association football is a working-class sport as are boxing, wrestling, snooker, darts and dog-racing.
3. Walking and swimming are the two most popular sporting activities, being almost equally undertaken by men and women.
4. There are several places in Britain associated with a particular kind of sport. One of them is Wimbledon - a suburb to the south of London where the AllEngland Lawn Tennis Championships are held in July (since 1877). The finals of the tournament are played on the Centre Court. The other one is Wembley - a stadium in north London where international football matches, the Cup Finals and other events have taken place since 1923.

Text 3. WARS IN AMERICA.
THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE.
The War of Independence started in 1775 and ended in 1783. It lasted for eight years. It was a war between Britain and its colonies in North America which wanted to be free. George Washington was commander-in-chief of the North American army and he did very much for the victory of the colonists.
In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson and some other people and adopted on July 4. Thirteen English colonies declared themselves free and independent of England, and each of them was called a state (штат). That is why July 4 is a national holiday in the United States, it is Independence Day and the birthday of the American nation. The Declaration was signed in a building (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On that building we can see the famous Liberty Bell which told the happy people outside that a new nation had been born.
After the Declaration of Independence the first national flag was taken on June 14, 1777. The flag had thirteen red and white stripes and thirteen white stars on a blue field in the left-hand corner. There was a star and a stripe for each of the former thirteen colonies.
When peace had been formally made with Britain in 1783, the people of the United States had to decide how they wanted to run their .new country. In 1787 the Constitution was adopted. It stated that the United States was to be a republic (a country governed by the people). The Americans chose George Washington as their first President.
THE CIVIL WAR BETWEEN THE STATES
In the 18th and 19th centuries the United States was divided into the North where labour was free, and the South where slaves worked.
The Negro slaves were freed by President Lincoln in 1863.
The war broke out soon after Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. It was the war between the industrial North, where slavery was outlawed, and the agricultural South, where slave labour was much used.
So the slave owners in the South were displeased that Lincoln was elected and very soon after that the Southern States left the Union and formed their own Confederation. Lincoln was ready to use force to keep the Union together. Then the war broke out between the North and the South.
The population of the North was 22 million, and that of the South was 9 million, but the army of the South was well organized and ready for war. This could not be said of the army of the North. So in the first months of the war the South won several victories. Only when General Grant became commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, the North began to win the war and in April 1865 it ended. The victory of the Union forces ended slavery in the South and ensured that the United States remained one nation.
