Вариант № 27

Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have

found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this

text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be

ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

You don’t see many birds in winter in Siberia. Most have left your area. Those that stay are

not as active. Activity uses energy that is needed to keep warm.

The worst problems for birds in winter are getting enough heat and holding on to

the heat once it is made. These are problems for all birds. But it is especially true

for very small ones. They cannot find enough food. The weather stays so cold for

so long that they cannot eat enough to keep alive. But birds have many ways of

fighting the cold.

You shiver to keep warm. The heat that you make is made mostly in your muscles.

The muscles make more heat when they are active. So one way of keeping warm is

to move about, use your muscles. Another way is to shiver. When your body needs

heat, the muscles tighten and loosen quickly. They become active. Just as you

shiver to keep warm, so do birds.
