The whole number of cars in Britain is about 11, 000, 000; Traffic goes on increasing and; the roads of most big cities are almost ail the time blocked by a slow moving procession of cars. Complicated systems of one-Way streets and the use of traffic lights have not solved the problem. Driving in crowded towns is far from being a pleasure.
Some time ago, one of my friends who works in a part of the city 1 do hot know very well, invited me to come and see him. It took me hours to get there.and I drove round and round looking for a place to park my car. At last I found, a small place in a back street. I was already three quarters of an hour late. I parked my car quickly and hurried off on foot I must say it: is much easier to walk than to drive nowadays.
- At noon as l was just leaving my friend's office, the question struck me: "Where did I park my car?" I could not go up to a policeman and tell him: "I lost a small green car somewhere." I had to look for it myself walking down street after street, I examined each car closely and at last I was happy to see a small green car just behind a big truck. But in a moment I discovered that though the car was exactly like my own, it belonged to someone else. Feeling quite tired I gave up looking for my car and went off for lunch. Some time later I left; the restaurant and walked down the street. Suddenly I nearly jumped for joy: my car was right in-front of me - there was no mistake this time.

VI. Read the text, translate it and do the tasks:
Most countries in the world 'welcome tourists because of the money they bring in. Many countries make great efforts to encourage tourism, and many-also depend on what they earn from it to keep their economies going.
One of the big problems for a nation wishing to attract a lot of tourists is the cost of building ' hotels for them. Building big hotels swallows up a lot of money, and many of the countries that I need the tourists are poor. What they spend on building has to be borrowed from foreign banks. And sometimes the money they can afford to borrow produces only chains of ugly hotels wherever there are beauty spots that are supposed to attract the tourists.
Another problem is that more and more big international companies are building hotels all over the world, so that the profits from a hotel often do not stay in the country in which it has been built.
And there is also the question of training staff; teaching 'them foreign languages, how to cook the kind of food that foreign tourists expect, and so on. In many countries, special colleges and courses have been set up for this.
Crime can also be a problem. Seeing tourists who seem to be much richer than themselves, the local inhabitants are often tempted to steal from them. Sometimes tourists resist and get killed, and then other tourists refuse to come to the country.
But an even greater problem in many countries is the effect that the sight of foreigners has on the local population. A man who lives in a very small house, owns almost nothing, works very hard for his living and has very strong rules about modesty in dress and not drinking alcohol sees foreign tourists rejoicing in what to him is great luxury, owning radios, wearing very few clothes and drinking a lot of beer. These tourists may be ordinary workers back home, but to the poor inhabitant they seem to be very rich. And of course, he either feels envy for them or thinks them shameless.
Tourists, too, often feel shocked by the different customs and habits that they see around them. They refuse the local food, and insist on having only what they eat back home.

В. Because they are too poor to build beautiful hotels on them.
С. Because they have to sell them to borrow money from foreign banks.
D. Because they want to pay their debts.
3. WHY ARE TOURISTS SOMETIMES KILLED?
A. When they break the law.
В. When they steal from the local people.
С. When they are much richer than the inhabitants.
D. When they try to defend themselves from being robbed.
