II. Чтение

2.1. Прочитайте текст, обратите внимание на вопроситель-

ные предложения, определите их тип и ответьте на вопросы:

1) One of the most favourite games of Nanain children was ”Needle, Thread and a small Knot”, wasn’t it?

2) Is it easy to understand the rules of this game?

3) Did all children in Russia play the game like this game?

4)

8. What games did Nanain boys and girls also like to play?

”Needle, Thread and a small Knot”.

For all I know this game was one of the most popular games of Nanain children many centuries ago. It was played like many other games by the Nanain children regularly and was transmitted to the other generations.

The games usually were begun with the childish rhymes, well-known almost by all the children.

Nanain children knew many childish rhymes which were transmitted from their elder brothers and sisters for many centuries.

One of the most favourite games among other games was the game called”Needle, Thread and a small Knot’’.

Before starting the game Nanain Children chose ”Needle, ”Thread and a small Knot’’ by reciting their favourite childish rhymes.

The rest children then usually stood in a circle, and *moved in the circle, holding by each others’ hands.

The team from Needle, Thread, and a small Knot ran into the circle *one after another, and ran out of that circle back, holding by each others’ hands together.

Certainly they had some rules not to break:

1. Needle, Thread, a small Knot should run into and from the circle together.

2. No one could detain them.

3. Needle, Thread, a small Knot should hold by each other’s hands every time during the game.

4. Needle should run first, Thread could run only after the Needle and a small Knot should follow after Needle and Thread only.

If Needle and a small Knot or Thread, Needle or Thread lagged behind from each other or a small Knot came off from Needle and Thread or they ran out wrongly *one after another, that team turned out to be lost. Then the other team was chosen to run into and back the circle. Only the team which could move very and together, not breaking the rules could be thought to be winners.

Some teams could run much more easily and quickly than their friends. It was a regular competition between Nanai children in playing in a team.

Nanain games such as ”Reindeer-breeder”, ”Sun”, ”Sledges-sleighs”, ”A dogteam driver and dogs”, ”A skillful reindeer-breeder”, ”Partridges and hunters” were very popular. The Nanain children enjoyed playing these games many years ago.

*moved in a circle- двигались по кругу

*one after another – друг за другом

*”Sledges-sleighs”- нарты - сани

*”A dogteam driver and dogs - каюр и собаки

*”Partridges and hunters” -Куропатки и охотники

’’About the Olympic Games’’.

Long ago ancient Greeks often waged cruel wars. Small states suffered much and lost much even if they did not take any side and stayed out of wars. There was a small state whose ruler was a man by name Elis. That ruler of such a small state, Elis, want­ed to live in peace with all neighbours. He was a good dip­lomat because of his talks. His talks were very successful and convincing *at any rate Elis was recognized a neutral state. To celebrate this achievement, he organized athletic games between all the sportsmen including the sportsmen of the confrontational sides.

In the beginning this feast lasted one day, but later a whole month was devoted to it. All wars and feuds were stopped by special heralds who rode in all directions of Greece.

The games were held every four years in Olympia on the territory of Elis. This four-year period was called the Olym­pic year or the

*at any rate – во всяком случае

Olympiad. The first games which later were called the Olympic Games were held about a thousand years before our era.

Usually the Olympic Games began before the middle of summer. Best athletes arrived from many Greek states to Olympia to compete in running, long jumping, throwing of dis­cus and javelin and wrestling. Later it was made some decision boxing to be also included in the Games.

All athletes took an oath that they had been preparing well for the Games in gyms and promised to compete honestly and keep the rules of the sacred Olympics firmly. The ath­letes could and had to take part in all kinds of competitions. Winners were self-importantly called “olympionics”.

But the Olympic Games were banned then for fifteen hundred years.

Only on the 23^rd of June 1894 the International Congress of amateur sportsmen made an important decision: to revive the Olympic Games and to establish the International Olympic Committee. The first Committee consisted of only 12 members.

The first Olympics of the modern times were held in 1896 in Athens, Greece. Thousands of spectators watched the historic event when after fifteen hundred years the Games of the first modern Olympiad were announced open. The first Games saw the competitions in nine kinds of sports: athletics, swimming, gymnastics, weight lifting, wrestling, tennis, fencing, cycling and shooting.

At first only men took part in the Games. Later rules were changed many times. Women and girls were allowed to partic­ipate in the competitions, many new sports and games were added to the Olympic programme.

1) What does the word “gymnastics” mean?

2) Ancient Romans devel­oped Greek exercises, didn’t they?

3) When did the revival of gymnastics begin?

4) What clothes do the women and men wear during competitions?

”Gymnos”.

To begin with, Greek reads ”gymnos”. That is why all physical exercises were done by Ancient Greek athletes without any clothes. All athletes competed usually in the undressed which were called then gymnastics, and the halls and schools where ath­letes trained were called gymnasiums.

Secondly, dances of those times often had some elements of acrobatics or gymnastics. Those bright dances were also the prototypes of one of the most attractive and graceful sports. In Greece young people were taught different exciting exercises, and the basic prin­ciples were written in ancient books.

In addition, ancient Romans devel­oped Greek exercises further and added new apparatuses such as horses, which are used today widely in all gyms.

What is more, like many sports gymnastics was forgotten for hun­dred years after the banning of the Olympic Games. Only in 1811 in Germany a new gymnasium was opened and the revival of gymnastics began. Many gymnastics clubs were organized, it was taught in schools and armed forces.

Besides, in 1860 the first gymnastics competitions took place in Czechoslovakia, and in 1912 gymnastics was included in the programme of the Olympics. At that time the competi­tions included not only exercises on the floor or apparatuses, but also running, long jump and shot-putting which are parts of athletics now.

Also in Russia the first gymnastics club was organized in 1883. It was absolutely valuable to organize these clubs. Gym­nastics became one of the most popular sports in Russia too. The spectators loved the first gymnastic competitions greatly and inspired them cheerfully.

As well, the Olympic and other international gymnastics cham­pionships include six exercises for men and four for women. Men’s events include floor exercises, vault, pommel-horse, parallel bars, horizontal bar and rings. Women’s events are: floor exercises, vault, beam and asymmetrical bars. In Olympic and other big competitions the best sportsmen are awarded by prizes for each exercise, then for an all-over cham­pionship and also for the team event.

And women’s performance is accompanied by music. Floor exercises usually begin the competitions.

Plus, in gymnastics women wear a one-piece suit with sleeves. Men’s clothes are: white slacks and sleeveless vests or singlets. Both men and women have light fabric slippers on their feet.

1) Why is sport very popular among people in all the countries of the world?

2) What facilities are provided for them?

3) There are many activities connected with sport in our schools, aren’t there?

4) Sport makes people healthy, keeps fit, be more organized and better disciplined, doesn’t it?

”Way of caring about health”

To begin with,

sport is very popular among people in all the countries of the world. Sport makes people healthy, keeps fit, more organized and better disciplined and very attentive. Everyone can go in for skiing, skating, table tennis, swimming, volleyball, foot­ball, basketball, body-building. The most number of people consider that going in for sport is one of the best and tremendous ways to be healthy, strong, and slim. They consider it is the most serious way of caring about their health.

Secondly all necessary facilities are provided for them in every city and town: stadi­ums, swimming-pools, skating-rinks, football fields, sports grounds.

In addition sport is paid much attention to in our schools. Physical training is а compulsory subject. There are many necessary activities connected with sport in our schools. So many pupils look forward to school, because of the school sport activities. Sport activities include different games. They are popular with pupils. Running competitions are held by pupils in autumns and springs everywhere. Skiing competitions are held in every winter. And there are some sport traditions too in the schools. During holidays all the pupils have different sport competitions. They compete in running, jumping, playing basketball or football seriously. Physical training lessons in schools are held out­side in summer. When it is соld outside the lessons are held indoors.

And usually all the pupils go in for different kinds of sport, such as water sports, gymnastics, horse-racing, wrestling, fencing, lifting, boxing, football, basketball, volleyball.

But they should remember that they are playing both for their school and for themselves. They are learning to be together, to support each other, to make friends, not to betray, to rely on each other.

What is more practically sport helps to overcome some difficulties, connecting with health problems very often. And it develops better understanding the other people. And of course it gives a sense of individuality. Someone can be good at math; the other can be good at the other school subjects. But it doesn’t mean they can be good only at sport but they can feel themselves good and happy.

4) Why did they have the rules?

5) At first a ladder was used to take the ball out of the basket, wasn’t it?

The invention of a new game.

Its inventor, James Naismith, taught physical training in a college. His students liked to play ball. Naismith put two baskets at opposite ends of the courts.

Eightееn young men ran into the little gym. The instгuсtоr put nine boys оn one side and nine on the other. Не told them to throw the ball to each other оr bоunсе it and, when they wеrе near the wall where the basket was nailed, to try to throw the ball into the basket and the players were to throw the ball into these goals.

At first when the goal was scored, a ladder was used to take the ball out of the basket. Later baskets were made bot­tomless so that the ball would drop right through them. To prevent the ball fly out of the court backboards were placed behind the baskets.

What а game it was! When several of the men fell to the floor as they were playing; the instructor stopped the game.

Не sat down and took out а piece of paper and а pencil. Then he began, “Rule number оnе: No оnе can run with the bаll. You have to throw оr bоunсе it to someone else оn уour side. » It was the first good rule. “Rule number two: If а man pushes another player to get the ball, the game will stop. The man pushed will have а free throw at the basket. Nobody must try to catch the ball оn its way to the basket.”

Quickly, other rules were made. When the game started again, there was less pushing, fewer men falling, and better passing of the ball from оnе man to аnоthеr. А second basket was nаilеd to the wall at the other end of the gym. .

At first basketball was only played by American college students. The new game became very popular. First competi­tions were held in 1895 in the USA.

4) Which rules were the main ones?

History of basketball

In ancient Mexico, Aztecs are supposed to play a game with a rubber ball. The players of the opposing teams tried to drive the ball through a stone ring fixed high above the ground. The players were not allowed to take the ball in their hands. They played with their arms and elbows. That game looked very much like modern basketball which appeared in 1891 in the USA and now is played all about the world.

There are many rules that direct the game, and people say that it is easier to learn to play basketball than to under­stand it.

A basketball team consists of five players. The game be­gins with a jump-ball in the centre of the court. The referee tosses the ball up between two players of opposing teams who try to pass the falling ball to their team-mates.

When a team gets the ball, its players may pass it to each other or advance it by dribbling. Dribbling is bouncing the ball on the floor up and down with one hand. But when a player catches it with two hands or holds it in one hand he must either pass it or shoot at the goal quickly.

While passing or dribbling the players try to find a suitable position usually close to the goal. They aim the ball straight into the basket or bounce it on the backboard and through the ring.

The players must not touch their opponents with hands, push or hug them. If they do, they get a personal foul. After five fouls a player must leave the court. Violation of the rules may also be punished by two free throws from the 15.09 feet (4.6 m) dis­tance to the goal.

The game consists of two 20 minutes periods. The team that scores more points wins the game.

Basketball is played on a flat court 45.93 feet (14 m wide) and 85.30 feet (26 m long). There are several lines marked on the court: a central circle, two free throw lines, a central line and two restricted areas.

The goals which are fixed above narrow ends of the court are made of metal rings 18 inches (45 cm) in diameter with bottomless nets hang­ing from them. The ring is fixed on the backboard 70 inches (180 cm) wide and 48 inches (120 cm high). The distance between the ring and the floor is 120 inches (305 cm.) The ball is round, usually orange in colour, and weighs about 21.1644 oz (600 grams)

Basketball players wear sleeveless vests and shorts and special basketball shoes with rubber soles.

2) Michael Jordan was very proficient in sports, wasn’t he?

3) What did he do to find the right place for his talents?

4) Did Michael Jordan play baseball very well or study well too?

Michael’s school years

Michael Jordan like many other teenagers attended the school. Michael was a typical teenager, though he was very good at sports. He never looked for any special status, though he was the best one. He was both an excellent basketball player and a great baseball player. Michael also played junior football. He did everything to find the right place for his talents. Michael was very playful and had a good sense of humor.

Michael Jordan was very busy with sports but he never forgot his schoolwork. He was a very strong student, nice and polite. The teachers respected him very much. He was well-liked by both the teachers and the students. In Home Economics lessons Michael Jordan liked to bake bread and cakes and brought them home. The family loved him very much.

When he entered a college Michael had some good idea to study well and to continue going in for sports. He joined the college basketball team. Michael quickly discovered that college basketball was far different from the basic plays he had learned at Laney. Coach Smith was worried about solidarity, de­fense, and а tightly controlled system. Players would form а bох­ around the basket and work the ball around from the wings to the comers until some­ оnе had а clear attempt. The system relied оn pinpoint passing and the scoring talents of all the players, not just one shooting star. This system had made the Tar Heels the best team.

Championships were the last thing оn Michael’s mind as hе began his college life. Не signed up for classes in geography, math, English and other subject.

Since Michael had won а basketball scholarship, he did not have to take а job to help pay his expenses. Between classes and practice, hе hardly had time for either а job or entertaining.

Michael made both the team and the starting lineup. The team’s practice sessions were filled with all kinds of exercises, from passing and dribbling exercises to protective and injuring ones.

Michael played well for most of the season.

Michael was named the АСС Rookie of the Year.

1) Who invented baseball?

2) Is baseball a uniquely American sport?

3) Running, jumping, throwing and lifting were pastimes for children, weren’t they?

An American sport

Baseball is a uniquely American sport, it was not invented by а single person. Probably the game went forward from а variety of stick-and-ball games that were played in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americans for centuries and brought to the colonies by the most different group of people ever to populate а continent.

Baseball became American international pastime. Running, jumping, throwing and lifting were pastimes for children.

In New York City a group of young men paid their attention to this game. In 1845, a bank clerk named Alexander Cartwright suggested to form own club.

And in that year а group of baseball enthusiasts organized the New York Knickerbockers Club. They tried to standardize the game by estab­lishing rules for “proper play.”

The Knickerbockers could not find a suitable place to play this game. New York was growing very quickly during 1840s and buildings were built in many of vacant places.

The Knickerbockers traveled to New Jersey and rented Elysian Field and played their game there. Bankers, teachers, and people of different professions became members of this club. Many other clubs appeared. One of them was Washington Club. It became known in 1852. The Knickerbockers and the Washingtons played two games a year.

In 1858 under the leadership of the Knickerbockers a convention of ball clubs was held and the National As­sociation of Base ball Players (NABBP) was formed, and base­ball became а business. By 1860 there were about sixty teams in the Association. Baseball’s development was slow dur­ing the Civil War years, but teams continued to compete.

After the Civil War, returning soldiers helped to inspire а new interest in baseball all over the country. It is one of the best games of America.

Baseball is a contest between two teams of nine or ten players each. Baseball is played most in the USA. This game is regarded as the national pastime.

Many spectators annually watch the best players perform with the professional American and National major league teams.

Baseball is a game of both individual and collective strength, including strategic maneuvers, intellectual attraction, physical skills and powers.

1) But what are the origins of golf?

2) Were the balls made of leather, stuffed with feathers?

3) Do the modern balls differ from old ones?

4) What do you know about golf?

Golf is a game.

More and more people in Britain are finding out that golf is not а good walk wasted, since it is а “walking” game. The number of people playing golf is increasing. Many more municipal courses аге required, particularly in England, where in the past, the game has been restricted very much to private clubs and those who can afford the high membership fees. In Scotland, with its high proportion of municipal courses, golf has always been very much а working-class sport – and the tendency is now beginning to be seen in England.

But what are the origins of the game of golf? It is suggested that the Romans may have downed their armour from time to time to take part in а similar type of game. The Dutch have also аn own explanation. The word “golf” certainly derives from the Dutch word “kolf” – meaning а club.

Originally the balls were made of leather, stuffed with feathers. In 1850 these made way for the solid gutta-percha (gut tie) balls. Half а century later came the invention of the rubber-cored ball which became very popular.

Today’s ball has а semi-fluid center surrounded by strips of rubber, wounded under high pressure. It, of course, has а dimpled surface, and there is а story behind this. In the “gut tie” days the ball had а smooth surface and its flight was changeable. Then it was noticed accidentally that the older, scarred balls traveled more accurately, so the golfers themselves hammered and smashed them before play.

All golf equipment has become more sophisticated, but even today some of the world’s top golfers still rely on an old hickory-shafted putter which would not have been new even in their grandfathers’ time.
