In Scotland the Scottish Football League comprises 37 clubs; Northern Ireland has its own league. Clubs belonging to the English and Scottish Leagues are organized in divisions, the members of which compete against one another for the respective league championships. Their positions in the divisional tables are decided at the end of the season by the number of points gained for wins or draws.
The annual competition for the FA Cup is organized on a knock-out basis and the Cup Final is one of the most important football matches of the year in England; it is always played at Wembley Stadium, near London, which can accommodate some 100,000 spectators. The Scottish Cup Final is played at Hampden Park, Glasgow. The matches between England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland also excite great interest, as do other international matches.

Many kinds of sports originated from England. The English have a proverb, “All work and no joy 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 games which attracts great attention. There are plenty of amateur and professional soccer clubs in every town. Professional soccer is big business. The Cup Final played in London is the culminating event of the football season. It takes place every May at the famous Wembley stadium. Some of the best known clubs in England are Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. In Scotland either Rangers, Celtic or Aberdeen usually win the cup or the championship.

At last it’s here: tomorrow is Exam Day. You have done lots of revision and you’ve had plenty of useful practice with past papers. You’ve finished the course. So what should you do now? Probably the least advisable course of action would be to carry on studying late into the night, trying to learn things you should have learned long ago and waking in the morning with an awful headache. A far better idea is to practise, as a singer or a musician does, what you already know. In order not to feel sleepy the next day, go to bed early and get up at your usual time. You may be a little bit nervous, but that is probably just a sign of your determination to do well in the exam.

For the past 100 years, the immense stretch of barren American desert has been growing smaller. Three generations ago, the wasteland extended from the Mississippi Valley in the east almost to the Pacific Coast. But men learned that the prairies could grow maize and that the grass lands could feed cattle and sheep or yield wheat. As they continued to cultivate the desert, the size of the desert area decreased.
Today, there are still 60 to 70 thousand square miles of desert. In the 600 miles between Salt Lake City and Reno, Nevada, there is nothing but dead lakes, dry rivers, snakes and small animal life, enormous mineral wealth, and the inhuman beauty of the desert.

Some people said it would be impossible to find a way through the dust and countless millions of rocks that lie beyond the inner planets. But despite its very baseless technology Pioneer made a successful crossing and went on to carry out it’s first mission – to study Jupiter.
It continued past the outer planets until 1983, crossing the paths of Saturn, Uranus and Pluto before finally entering the vast unknown area outside our solar system. There it will maintain course on its endless journey, passing close to Proxima Centauri in 70,000 years’ time. Eventually, scientists believe, in the safe vacuum of deep space. It may even outlive the Earth, which in five billion years will disappear as the Sun grows ever bigger and swallows up our tiny planet.

Unlike old cities, such as London or Moscow, that grew by themselves, without any preliminary architectural plans, cities built later were planned by architects before construction started.
The best example of a Russian city built according to a plan is, without any doubt, St. Petersburg, founded by Peter the Great. Peter wanted to found a new capital for his new Russia, and for this purpose chose a piece of territory on the Baltic Sea that had been taken over by Russia after a war with Sweden.
