POMPEII: DESTROYED, FORGOTTEN, AND FOUND
Today many people who live in large metropolitan areas such as Paris and New York leave the city in the summer. They go to the mountains or seashore to escape the city noise and heat. Over 2,000 years ago, many rich Romans did the same thing. Many of these wealthy Romans spent their summers in the city of Pompeii. Pompeii was a beautiful city; it was located near the ocean, in the Bay of Naples.
In the year 79 C.E. (Common Era), a young Roman boy, who later became a very famous Roman historian, was visiting his uncle in Pompeii. The boy's name was Pliny. One day looking up at the sky Pliny saw a frightening sight. It was a very large dark cloud. This black cloud rose high into the sky. Rock and ash flew through the air. What Pliny saw was the explosion of the volcano Vesuvius. The city of Pompeii was at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.
When the volcano first erupted, many people were able to flee from the city and escape death. In fact, 18,000 people escaped the terrible disaster. Unfortunately, there was not enough time for everyone to escape. More than 2,000 people died. The eruption lasted for about three days. When the eruption was over, Pompeii was buried and forgotten for 1,700 years.
In the year 1748 an Italian farmer was working on his farm. As he was digging, he found a part of a wall of the ancient city. Soon archaeologists began to excavate in the area. As time went by, much of the ancient city was uncovered. Today tourists come from all over the world to see the famous city of Pompeii.

World population growth theory

Thepopulation of the world has increased more in modem times than in all other ages of history combined. World population totaled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 16504850. Today the population is more than five billion.
Estimates based on. research by the United Nations indicate that it will more than double in the twenty-five years between 1975 and the year 2000, reaching seven billion by the turn of the century.
No one knows the limits of population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than the food supply, a continual strain was exerted upon available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics, and other disasters as the usual limitations of population growth.

Michelangelo Buonarroti
Michelangelo Buonarroti was one of the most famous artists in history. He was a painter, a sculptor, an architect, and a poet. He created some of the world’s most beautiful and most famous paintings and statues.
Michelangelo was bom in 1475 in a small Italian town near Florence. At the age of twelve, he was apprenticed to Ghirlandaio, a well-known Italian artist He leamtto draw by copying other artists’ paintings. He soon became interested in sculpture, too. At the age of 21, he went to Rome, and began to create the works of art that made him famous all over the world.
Michelangelo’s first great work was the Pieta for St Peter’s Cathedral. This statue shows Jesus Christ in the arms of the Virgin Mary after his death on the cross. Michelangelo went to Florence, where he produced his famous statue of David. It is 18 feet high and carved from a solid piece of marble. The Statue is so lifelike that it seems ready to spring into action. We have a copy of this statue in the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum.
At the age of 30 he was called to Rome and for the next 30 years he worked there for a succession of Popes.
In 1508, he began painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. He spent more than twenty years painfully lying on his back on a scaffold, painting the figures and Biblical scenes on half of the ceiling. After a long rest, he completed the second half in about a year. People consider the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to be one of the world’s greatest and most amazing works of art
Michelangelo embodied the perfect multi-talented Renaissance man. His influence on later artists is immense.

Journey to the Arctic
Presenter: Today I’m pleased to welcome Professor Pickard onto the show. Professor Pickard has recently returned from a scientific visit tothc Arctic. Tell us, Professor, what were you hoping to find onthis particular journey to the Arctic?
Professor: Well, I was there as part of a special research team and we were looking for signs of global warming and how the Arctic ice has been affected.
Presenter: And what did you find?
Professor: We found that the ice is melting, temperatures are warmer and it is already affecting the animals that live there and depend on the ice for survival.
Presenter: Which animals are most affected?
Professor: Well, the number of polar bears in the Arctic is going down very quickly. If we don’t do something very soon, these animals will become extinct
Presenter: Why these animals in particular, Professor?
Professor: As I said, they need the ice for hunting on and the ice is disappearing.
Presenter: Not all scientists think global warming is happening.
Professor: Very, very few scientists think like this. And those scientists should go to the Arctic and see for themselves. Perhaps, if they see the bodies of polar bears that have died in the water they might understand how important this is.
Presenter: Professor, thank you very much for coming on the show.
Professor: Thank you for asking me.

Stories of Great People

Balzac, the famous French writer, was a man of great talent. But he himself was рщ of his ability to tell a person’s character by his or her handwriting. He often told his friend, | that he could tell anybody’s character exactly by his handwriting.
One day a woman friend brought him a young boy’s exercise book. She said that she 1 wanted to know what Balzac thought of the boy’s character.
Balzac studied the handwriting carefully for a few minutes. The woman, however, told him that the boy was not her son and that he might tell her the truth.
“All right,” said Balzac. “I shall tell you the truth.” And he said that the boy was a bad, lazy fellow.
“It’s very strange,” said the woman smiling. “This is a page from your own exercise | book, which you used when you were a boy.”
Marie Twain, the famous American writer, was travelling in France. Once he was going by train to Dijon. That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep. He therefore asked I the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was I a very heavy sleeper. “I’ll probably protest loudly when you try to wake me up,” he said to | the conductor. “But do not take notice, just put me off the train anyway.”
Then Marie Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up, it was night-time and the train was in Paris already. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He was very angry. He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him. “I have never been so angry in all my life,” Marie Twain said.
The conductor looked at him calmly. “You are not half so angry as the American whom I I put off the train at Dijon,” he said.
