Прочитайте текст и выберите вариант ответа (1,2 или 3), соответствующий содержанию прочитанного текста.
§1. 'The whale has no voice', wrote Melville in his book Moby Dick, 'but then again what has the whale to say?' Yet, whales are said to sing. At least some of them certainly do. Melville failed to hear them because they sing underwater. Others have heard them without realising it.
§2. Why do they sing? First, spot the singers. There are two sorts of whales: the toothed whales such as sperm, killer and pilot whales who are close relatives of the dolphin; and the toothless 'baleen' whales such as the humpback, right and minke. The toothed whales usually live in stable and organised groups: a gang of killer whales may stay together for years on end. Such creatures make sounds, but have not been known to sing. Each sperm whale produces a distinctive series of clicks known as his coda and will sometimes mimi6a nearby whale's coda. Killer whales have identifiable dialects that are specific to each family.
§3. It is the baleen whales, especially the humpbacks, who break into song. At any one time, all the singing whales in a population sing the same song. It gradually changes ov6r time and each whale learns and copies the new variations. The songs can last up to thirty minutes and are highly complex. It is only the males who sing, and they do so chiefly during the breeding season. The songs seem like many bird songs to be a sort of display that males use in competing with each other for females. "
§4. Singing humpbacks have a wide vocal range. Play back a-recorded humpback song at fourteen times the correct speed and it sounds like a nightingale. But birdsong is shorter and more significantly not so structured as whale song. Whale song can be broken down into regularly repeating phrases, which in turn are organised into themes that always occur in the same sequence. Unlike birds, whales appear to have studied some of the rules of classical composition.
§5. By analysing these themes and phrases, two scientists Miss Linda Guinee of the Long Term Research Institute in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and Mrs. Katharine Payne of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York have reached conclusions about whale culture. According to these conclusions, whales seem to use a structure like rhyme in poetry. And, like people, they may put in the rhymes to help them remember their songs. The two scientists analysed 460 whale songs from the North Pacific and 88 from the North Atlantic and from their recordings they produced audio spectrograms. Having a catalogue of whale songs helps sea biologists to track whale populations on their odysseys by showing where each singer comes from. It also lets them study the songs as they gradually change. Since whales learn their songs, such songs are an example of culture; and the way they change is an example of cultural evolution.
A38. What did Melville believe about whales?
A39. Which of the following seem to use personal identification signals?
А40. What is known about the song of a humpback whale?
A41. What did the two scientists discover?

Bill Bryson, Travel Writer: The happiest holiday I ever had was on Lundy Island with my wife and three children. It is run by the Landmark Trust, and unspoilt. There are no towns or shops and nothing to do but go for invigorating walks and look for puffins. The island generates its own electricity which is turned off at 10 o'clock at night. Having tucked the children up in bed, we would build a roaring fire in our little cottage and read by the firelight. It was perfect.
Nairn Attallah, Publisher: I hardly ever take holidays but fourteen years ago I was pressurised into going to the Costa Sineralda with my wife and son. I enjoyed the first day: I hired a boat, sat in the sun for about twenty minutes and had tea on the veranda. By the second the novelty of doing nothing had worn off. I love the bustle of towns and my excitement comes from working. I can't stand people who appear lazy. All I could see were people sitting and frying in the sun. I got very agitated: the holiday was turning into a nightmare and we went home immediately. My wife and son were not upset because they know my nature.
Quentin Crisp, Writer: All my childhood holidays were nightmares. My family had a cottage near "Hastings on the south coast where we went year after year, and it was absolute hell. I went for the whole summer with my mother and brothers and sisters. My father came down for two weeks: he hated everything. It was no holiday for my mother. She had to cut sandwiches for us all and carry them to the beach. There were wasps everywhere and sand in everything. I can't understand why we didn't eat at home and then go and sit on the beach. I pretended I loved the seaside because I wanted to be like other people, but I never succeeded. I got on with my brothers and sisters in a half-hearted way, but they teased me unmercifully. We went on jolly outings when it wasn't raining. I'm no good at sport and I can't ride a bike. When I was eleven the cottage was sold and we stopped going, which was a great relief to me.
Maureen Lipman, Actress: This year my husband Jack and I went skiing in Switzerland with the actress Julia McKenzie and her husband Gerry. Although the holiday was a laugh, the skiing part was a nightmare. It probably wasn't the best time to learn: it was April and there wasn't much snow, just lots of hardpacked ice. Jack refused to go near the slopes; Gerry could ski a bit and went into the big boys' class, Julia and I started on the nursery slopes. I could snow plough, but Julia kept skiing into a fence. I had to pick her up, which is not easy when you're over forty and have big wooden things on your feet. After she had fallen several times, Julia gave up and headed for the restaurant. I was more foolhardy, and went up the mountain with the rest of the class. Our instructor told us to ski down. After a couple of zig-zags my heart was pounding. I took off my skis and said, "I'm walking." It took me an hour and a half to get down. 1 reached a farm and was attacked by three dogs. By the time someone came to call them off, I was terrified and weeping. When I reached the bottom I could hardly speak.
Ines de la Fresange, Model: When I was seven I was sent to boarding school in England to learn English during the summer holidays. The school was supposed to be a paradise for children. There was a tennis court, a swimming pool and horses, but I hated tennis, thought it was too cold to swim and was afraid of horses. The school was filled with foreigners learning English, but I was very shy and didn't like the other children. I cried all the time and wrote long letters to my grandmother saying I was lonely. As I was quite tiny, my family decided that my nanny should stay in a nearby hotel for the month 1 was at school. I was allowed to see her on Sundays when she took me to her hotel which was full of old people who danced at teatime. I remember crying and crying on Sunday evenings when I had to catch the bus back. It was a nightmare for a child, but I was sent back several years running because my family was obsessed with my learning English.
