CLIMATE SCIENTISTS ARE PREDICTING EXTREME WEATHER
Climate scientists are predicting that during the 21st Century «global warming» will cause a worldwide increase in «extreme weather». Because of global warming, they say, there will be more heavy rain and more severe droughts.
Global warming will bring more heavy rain because, with a warmer atmosphere, there (1) ___. Evaporation occurs when water molecules escape from an area of liquid water and turns into a gas called «water vapor». The warmer the weather, the more quickly the molecules on the surface of the water move around and the more likely they are to escape into the air.
As the warm air near the Earth’s surface rises up to higher levels of the atmosphere, it carries water vapor with it. As the air rises, it cools, and this cooling eventually causes the water vapor to «condense». Tiny «droplets» of liquid water collect around the dust particles that (2) ___. The clouds we see in the sky are made up of millions of these droplets. If the air is very moist, the droplets will grow until they become «raindrops» about 0.5 millimeters in diameter. These raindrops are too heavy to remain suspended in the air and, so they fall toward the Earth as rain.
Because heat causes evaporation to happen more quickly, as the atmosphere warms, it will contain more and more water vapor; in other words, it will be more «moist». Climate scientists predict that this moister, warmer atmosphere will lead to more storms, and that, on average, these storms (3) ___. They will also bring more rain and, most importantly, more «downpours,» which will cause floods and landslides. The run-off water from these storms will also cause erosion, which (4) ___ and allow deserts to grow.
Climate scientists believe that heavy rain is not the only kind of extreme weather that will be more common on a warmer Earth. They also say that (5) ___ —long periods of very dry weather—more common than they have been in the past. This prediction seems at first to contradict the prediction of increased rainfall: very wet weather and very dry weather are opposites. How could they both be caused by the same thing?
The answer is that just as evaporation removes water molecules from the surface of the ocean, it also (6) ____. In other words, evaporation «dries out» moist soil. And, on land too, the hotter the atmosphere, the more quickly evaporation works. Because of this connection between heat and evaporation, a quite small rise in average temperature can cause especially severe droughts with terrible consequences. Farm crops die. Food prices go up; farmers go bankrupt. In poor countries, people may starve.
A will be bigger and stronger
B global warming will likely make extreme «droughts»
C are suspended everywhere in the atmosphere
D cause quite a lot of damage
E takes water away from land surfaces
F will be more «evaporation» from the Earth’s oceans
G will damage farm land and, in the long-term, destroy forests
4. Summary
1) Can we predict disasters?
2) What happens to the earth during and after one of the disasters?
3) What can you do to prepare in advance for a disaster?

THE COSTS OF PROGRESS
Human progress has reached the stage of intensive exploration of nuclear and solar energy, the World Ocean and outer space. It is evident now, however, that often man is adversely affecting the environment and his activity is sometimes fraught with fatal consequences.
It is becoming increasingly clear that man cannot and must not use his tremendous power so carelessly, interfere in nature and radically try to change it, without taking into account possible negative effects of his economic activity.
The more material wealth people create, the more they realize that they cannot but be concerned about how the biosphere is changing as a result of productive activity. Current ecological research shows, that man, when overconcerned with technicism, far from turning deserts into oases, can turn oases into deserts, threatening to destroy everything on the Earth. In the 19th century and even in the 20th century, material production did not take into account the consequences which man’s interference may have in the distant future. In the 20th and 21st centuries such a consideration is becoming vitally important. The pollution of many species of plans and animals have now reached threatening proportions. An increasing influence on nature and using new technological processes may cause catastrophic results. Data concerning deaths from cancer say that more then 60 per cent of the cases are caused by various cancer-producing factors in the environment.
So, the urgent problem of today is to understand that we depend on the Earth, our mother, that the earth environment is a wonderful, beautiful and complex system which is easily damaged by man’s thoughtless attacks upon it. It is a challenge for all of us to save it.
► True or false:
1) Human progress has reached the stage of cosmic pollution.
2) The intensive exploration of nuclear and solar energy adversely affects the environment.
3) Man uses his power carelessly.
4) People can and must interfere in nature trying to change it.
5) The material standard of people’s living has grown.
6) People are overconcerned with making more technical devices which could make their life better.
7) Two centuries ago people didn’t think much of the consequences of man’s interference in nature.
8) They don’t think of it in the current century.
9) In 60 per cent cancer is caused by various factors of polluted environment.
10) It is very complicated problem to restore the unity between man and nature.
THE CAUSES OF FLOODS
Floods are second only to fire as the most common of all natural disasters. They occur almost everywhere in the world, resulting in widespread damage and even death. Consequently, scientists have long tried to perfect their ability to predict floods. So far, the best that scientists can do is to recognize the potential for flooding in certain conditions. There are a number of conditions, from deep snow on the ground to human error, that cause flooding.
When deep snow melts it creates a large amount of water. Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods, when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather it can lead to serious flooding. If there is a fast snow melt on top of frozen or very wet ground, flooding is more likely to occur than when the ground is not frozen. Frozen ground or ground that is very wet and already saturated with water cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow. Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams. Whenever rivers are already at their full capacity of water, heavy rains will result in the rivers overflowing and flooding the surrounding land.
Rivers that are covered in ice can also lead to flooding. When ice begins to melt, the surface of the ice cracks and breaks into large pieces. These pieces of ice move and float down the river. They can form a dam in the river, causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream. If the dam breaks suddenly, then the large amount of water held behind the dam can flood the areas downstream too.
Broken ice dams are not the only dam problems that can cause flooding. When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it, the results can be devastating. Dams contain such huge amounts of water behind them that when sudden breaks occur, the destructive force of the water is like a great tidal wave. Unleashed dam waters can travel tens of kilometres, cover the ground in metres of mud and debris, and drown and crush every thing and creature in their path.
Although scientists cannot always predict exactly when floods will occur, they do know a great deal about when floods are likely, or probably, going to occur. Deep snow, ice-covered rivers, and weak dams are all strong conditions for potential flooding. Hopefully, this knowledge of why floods happen can help us reduce the damage they cause.

Let's speak about one outstanding painter Thomas Lawrence
Sir Thomas Lawrence, (born April 13, 1769, Bristol, Gloucestershire, Eng.—died Jan. 7, 1830, London), painter and draftsman who was the most fashionable English portrait painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
He was the son of an innkeeper who owned the Black Bear at Devizes, where the young Lawrence won a reputation as a prodigy for his profile portraits in pencil of guests. Later he began to work in pastel, and in 1780, when his family moved to Bath, he set up professionally. He had little regular education or artistic training, but was working in oils by the time he moved to London in 1787. There he studied at the Royal Academy schools for a short time and was given encouragement by Sir Joshua Reynolds. He was handsome, charming, and exceptionally gifted. His early success was phenomenal, and when he was 20 years of age he was summoned to Windsor to paint the portrait, later widely acclaimed, of Queen Charlotte. He was elected associate of the Royal Academy in 1791 and academician in 1794.
Lawrence was a highly skilled draftsman. He soon abandoned pastels but continued to make portraits in pencil and chalks. These were separate commissions and were rarely studies for paintings, as it was his usual practice to make a careful drawing of the head and sometimes the whole composition on the canvas itself and to paint over it. There are highly interesting references to his working methods in Joseph Farington’s Diary.
After the death of Reynolds, Lawrence was the leading English portrait painter. His works exhibit a fluid touch, rich colour, and great ability to realize textures. He presented his sitters in a dramatic, sometimes theatrical, manner that produced Romantic portraiture of a high order. After the death of John Hoppner in 1810 he was patronized by the Prince Regent, who knighted him in 1815 and sent him in 1818 to the political congresses of Aix-la-Chapelle and Vienna, where he painted 24 large full-length portraits of the military leaders and heads of state of the Holy Alliance. Executed with verve and elegance, these works now hang together in the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle—a unique historical document of the period. By these works Lawrence was recognized as the foremost portrait painter of Europe. On his return to England in 1820 he was elected president of the Royal Academy.
Lawrence was also a distinguished connoisseur. His collection of old-master drawings was one of the finest ever assembled, and he was instrumental in securing the collection of Greek sculptures known as the Elgin Marbles for the nation and in the founding of the National Gallery.
Answer the questions.
- Who was Thomas Lawrence?
- Who was his parents?
- When he began to work in pastel?
- Where did he studied ?
