(25) We lived in a sanatorium near Paris. (26) We walked, ate, listened to the radio, played bridge, and gossiped. (27) There was only one real patient - a feisty old man recovering from typhus.
(28) The old man often sat on the terrace in a chaise lounge, covered with pillows, wrapped in blankets, pale, bearded, always silent and, if anyone passed by, he turned away and closed his eyes.

(57) She didn’t answer anything. (58) She just swallowed air with difficulty, pressed her hands tightly to her chest and looked around with such pain and such despair, as if she was looking for help. (59) But who can take such a funny and stupid grief seriously? (60) Only a little boy, sitting at the next table and seeing this scene, suddenly closed his eyes and cried bitterly.

Read the text and complete tasks 20-25.

(1) Man was created to last for centuries, judging by the enormous, incomparable waste of energy. (2) The lion, having killed the antelope, rests for a day in a well-fed sleep. (3) After an hour-long battle with an opponent, a powerful elk stands in the thicket for half a day, frantically moving its sunken sides. (4) Aitmatov’s Karanar accumulated strength for a year to rage, rage and triumph for half a month. (5) For a person, such feats are the brilliance of a moment, for which he pays with such a small fraction of his reserves that he does not need rest at all.

(6) The goal of the beast is to live out the time allotted by nature. (7) The amount of energy embedded in it is correlated with this period, and a living creature spends not as much as it wants, but as much as it needs, as if some kind of dosing device is provided in it: the beast does not know desire, it exists according to the law of necessity. (8) Isn’t that why animals don’t suspect that life is finite?

(9) The life of animals is the time from birth to death: animals live in absolute time, not knowing that there is also relative time; in this relative time only man can exist. (10) His life never fits into the dates on the gravestone. (11) It is larger, it contains seconds known only to him, which dragged on like hours, and days that flew by like moments. (12) And the higher a person’s spiritual structure, the more opportunities he has to live not only in absolute, but also in relative time. (13) For me, the global super task of art is its ability to prolong human life, imbue it with meaning, teach people to actively exist in relative time, that is, to doubt, feel and suffer.

(14) This is about spirituality, but even in ordinary, physical life, a person is given obviously more “fuel” than is needed in order to live according to the laws of nature. (15) Why? (16) For what purpose? (17) After all, in nature everything is reasonable, everything has been verified, tested over millions of years, and even the appendix, as it turned out, is still needed for something. (18) Why was a huge supply of energy many times greater than needed given to man?

(19) I asked this question in the fifth or sixth grade, when I got to elementary physics, and decided that it explained everything. (20) And she really explained everything to me then. (21) Except for humans. (22) But I couldn’t explain it. (23) It was here that the straightforward logic of knowledge ended and the frighteningly multivariate logic of understanding began.
(24) At that time, of course, I didn’t imagine this, but the energy balance did not converge, and I asked my father why a person was given so much.

− (25) For work.

“(26) I see,” I said, not understanding anything, but did not ask questions.

(27) This property - to agree with the interlocutor not when I have understood everything, but when I have not understood anything - is apparently inherent in me by nature. (28) In everyday life, it always bothered me, because I couldn’t get out of my troubles, writing my own theories, hypotheses, and often laws. (29) But there was still one beneficial side to this strangeness: I remembered without understanding, and got to the bottom of the answers myself; now it’s not so important that most often the answer was wrong. (30) Life requires from a person not answers, but the desire to seek them.

(31) I am writing about this only for the sake of two words from my father, which determined the whole meaning of existence for me. (32) This became the main commandment, the alpha and omega of my worldview. (33) And I became a writer, probably not at all because I was born with such brilliance in my eyes, but only because I sacredly believed in the need for persistent, daily, frantic work.

20. Which of the statements correspond to the content of the text? Please provide answer numbers.

A person by nature has more energy than any, even the largest, animal.

A person perceives time in a special way: sometimes seconds can seem like hours, and a day can fly by instantly.

Physics can explain the laws of nature, but this science is not able to explain the nature of man, the purpose of the energy inherent in man by nature.

The narrator immediately realized the meaning of his father’s statement that great energy is given to a person for work.

The narrator successfully studied at school, which was facilitated by his desire to thoroughly study every subject.

(1) Discussions about the state of the Russian language have been going on since the times of the mighty revolutions of the past centuries: A.S. Pushkina, F.I. Tyutcheva, A.I. Herzen, V.G. Belinsky, F.M. Dostoevsky. (2) Nowadays for us their disputes and reflections on the fate of their native language are high lessons of Russian literature and human thought.

(3) As for the “degradation,” “weakening,” and even the inevitable “death” of the Russian language and literature, this is nothing more than hyperbole, based quite often on sincere, natural and understandable anxiety for the fate of one’s people, especially in times changes, shocks.

(4) The current upheavals and profound changes in Russia are occurring, in my opinion, rather in the minds and souls of people. (5) For the Russian language, they do not seem very significant to me, if we recall such trials as the “Mongol invasion” or Peter the Great’s “window to Europe”.

(6) “Eastern wind” and “Western wind” come and go, unable to shake the mighty tree of the Russian language, rooted over centuries and across vast expanses, only refreshing it, and therefore strengthening it.

(7) In such cases and trials, the mighty ocean of the great language (and not only Russian), with its incomparable mass, power, energy, measured and tireless work, will limit, polish other people’s words, adapting them to its own needs, sprinkle them with the living keys of their native land, taking into folk speech, writing, and fiction.

(19) The same is true in our literature and journalism, which, of course, influence the state of the Russian language. (20) It’s a matter of conscience and, most importantly, talent. (21) Tolstoy, Turgenev, Sholokhov, Shukshin did not set themselves the task of protecting the Russian language. (22) They did this naturally, because they were born on the Russian soil, from which they received a great gift and used it worthily. (23) That's the whole explanation.

“About the Russian language B.P. Ekimov talks very figuratively and colorfully. The emotional tone of his reasoning is set by the trope - (A)__________ (for example, in sentence 6), as well as the device - (B)__________ (“not old mold, but living speech” in sentence 12). Speaking about changes in the native language, the author tries to convey their essence as accurately as possible, in which he is helped by the lexical device - (B)__________ (“changes, shocks” in sentence 3, “cut, polished” in sentence 7).

Incredible facts

There are phenomena in nature that, looking at them, you may not believe your eyes. Mirages and optical illusions found in nature amaze our imagination.

Since ancient times, people have encountered visions of ships, buildings, mountains and could not find an explanation for this. Unlike hallucinations, mirages are real optical phenomena that can be photographed. Another thing is that these phenomena do not arise by order. However, there are places on our planet where the chances of seeing a unique optical illusion are much greater.


1. Fata Morgana, Antarctica


In Antarctica, clear and clean air brings distant objects into sharp focus. Depth perception becomes impossible and the world takes on an amazing two-dimensional appearance. Early explorers of Antarctica painstakingly mapped and charted islands, capes, and mountain ranges that were never seen again.

A funny example of this phenomenon was the case of a Swedish explorer who, in his notebook, described a rocky cape with two unusual symmetrical valley glaciers. As it turns out, he was actually looking at a walrus.

Fata Morgana is caused by reflection from water, ice and snow, and when combined with a temperature inversion, it creates the illusion of a clear, defined appearance that does not actually exist.

2. St. Elmo's Fire, Edinburgh, Scotland


Physically, St. Elmo's Fire is a bright blue or purple fire-like glow from tall, pointed structures such as lightning rods, masts, spiers, and chimneys. They are a mixture of gas, plasma, just like fire and stars. The electric field around the object causes the air molecules to ionize, resulting in a faint glow that is clearly visible in low-light conditions.

American writer Herman Melville He called this phenomenon the “flaming finger of God.” Caesar saw it on the spears of his troops the night before the battle. This impressive effect, which is caused by an electrical discharge from thunderclouds to the ground, has always suggested divine intervention. St. Elmo's Lights can be seen on the masts of ships during storms, and sailors are in awe of this phenomenon, which often occurs as the storm begins to subside. This natural phenomenon is often observed on the heights of Edinburgh Castle on Castle Rock.

3. Aurora, Alta, Norway


The polar lights are an incredibly spectacular sight in the Arctic and Antarctica. Colorful layers of light turn endless winter nights into real lava lamps. The aurora, or more specifically the northern and southern aurora, occurs when solar particles ejected by solar flares are pulled toward the north or south pole by the Earth's magnetic field, colliding with atmospheric gases and emitting photons, or particles of light. The result is glowing sheets of green, red, white, purple and blue light.

The Norwegian city of Alta, which is located at the 69th parallel north latitude, is known as a great place to admire the aurora.

4. Brocken Ghost, Goslar, Germany


For thousands of years, anyone lucky enough to witness this supernatural optical phenomenon believed they were in the presence of God or undergoing their own spiritual rebirth. This is because the observer sees an image of a shadow surrounded by a halo of light, usually around the head. This phenomenon most often occurs near mountain peaks, where the air is humid and the sun is low. The name of the phenomenon owes its origin to the Brocken peak, which, at an altitude of 1141 m, is the highest point of the Harz Mountains, located in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. You can go to the top of the Harz Mountains from the city of Goslar in Germany.

5. Green Ray, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France


The green ray, a favorite phenomenon among those who are not alien to romantic fantasies, seems to capture the very frailty of existence. This effect, which can be seen at the end of sunset, appears as a green dot or green ray that appears to burst from the sun. The reasons for this illusion are quite complex and are related to the refraction of light, the thickness of the atmosphere and the curvature of the Earth. You have a small chance of seeing the green ray, for example, by going to the city of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, which is depicted in the French film "Green Ray".

6. Young coniferous trees, Mount St. Helens, USA


As you approach Mount St. Helens in Washington State, you may notice new growth of pale green shoots on dark green conifers. This creates the curved shape of the eye, similar to a piece of optical art. In May 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted massively, causing the northern side to collapse and producing a large ash cloud. Many people died, and the area took on the appearance of a featureless lunar landscape. Since then, this area has been protected and restored.

7. Magnetic Hill, Ladakh, India


Ladakh is a land of high snowy passes and ancient structures - gopm. Here you may encounter a phenomenon called a magnetic hill or gravity hill, where a vehicle with the gearbox turned off appears to rise to the top. This astonishing effect has led to speculation that the magnetic force is throwing planes off course. In fact, it's all just one big illusion: the descent is slightly downward, but the shape of the surrounding landscape and the mountain horizon cause our usual landmarks to become unclear. This magnetic hill can be found 30 km from the historical capital of Leh and the place itself is marked with a large sign.

8. Inferior Mirage, Nullarbor Plain, Australia


This is a fairly commonly observed phenomenon - a haze that makes the air shimmer and makes roads appear damp. In fact, this is a common illusion. The imaginary lake in the distance that weary travelers see in the desert gives them imaginary hope. In reality, the illusion of water is an image of the sky in the distance, which appears from the refraction of light rays through the air. On the other hand, if you take a bottle of water and go to the Australian Nullarbor Plain, where there are no trees, you can see the mirage with your own eyes in a calm atmosphere.

9. Devils of Paasselka, Lake Paasselka, Finland


Paaselk's Devils are a phenomenon called "will-o'-the-wisps" in which light appears at night, mainly on marshy ground. If you follow them, they retreat. They also often seem to follow you. In many cultures, such lights were considered evil spirits that lured travelers to their deaths, or harbingers of natural disaster. Lake Paasselka is famous for its mysterious balls of light, and in Finnish folklore these lights indicated places where treasures were found.

10. Parhelium, Timbuktu, Mali


Parhelium is an effect that can be observed around the sun. It appears as bright spots or "false suns" located on either side of the sun itself. This phenomenon can last for hours. Previously, this was seen as a frightening omen of bad times. However, these are all just ice crystals creating a prism in the air. You have a good chance of seeing parhelium on the flat horizon of Timbuktu in Mali.

There are tangible signs that the body needs your attention. The following symptoms indicate the need to make lifestyle and dietary changes.

Leather

Problematic skin is the first signal. If you have been out of pregnancy for a long time, and your skin is still often inflamed, pay attention to nutrition and intestinal health. Difficulties with the skin indicate that the intestines are not coping with the elimination of toxins.

Immunity

It’s also a clear signal that you need to reconsider your lifestyle and diet. Explore natural remedies to strengthen and enhance your immune system. These are spices, herbs, drinks.

Lack of energy

If you feel a lack of vital energy and strength for two weeks, your body is ringing all the bells. One-time fatigue, which can be restored by sound sleep and rest, is common. But feeling overwhelmed in the morning, apathy, and reluctance to get down to work and lead an active life are no longer the norm. Also, pay attention to your adrenal health.

Hair

Excessive hair loss can be an indirect sign of a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body. Review your diet - add more fresh fruits and vegetables, and thermally unprocessed foods to your diet.

Waist

A waist circumference exceeding 80 cm for women and 90 cm for men is a signal to change your daily diet and cleanse your diet of fatty foods, sugar and gluten. This indicator indicates the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Digestion

Gas formation, severe and painful bloating indicate an unhealthy intestinal condition. Namely, irritable bowel syndrome or bacterial growth. These symptoms are easily treatable. The main thing is to pay attention to the sensations and condition of the body in order to take timely measures.
