Вариант 2 (технические специальности)
The future of the engineering profession
I.1). Early people had no system of money as we know it. To get the things they wanted, people used the barter system. People learned that almost everyone would accept certain goods in exchange for any product or service. These goods included animal hides, cattle, cloth, salt, shells, and pieces of gold or silver. People began to use such things as mediums of exchange as we use money now.
2). Many people still barter, especially in the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. People in industrial countries also turn to barter if money becomes scarce or worthless. For example, barter became widespread in Germany after the country’s defeat in World War II (1939 – 1945).
3). The first coins may have been made during the 600s B.C. in Lydia (now western Turkey). The coins were a natural mixture of gold and silver. The king of Lydia was on the coin. Traders accepted these coins instead of cattle, cloth, gold dust, or other goods as a medium of exchange.
4). Many historians believe that coins were also invented independently in ancient China and in India. At first, the Chinese used knives, spades, and other metal tools as mediums of exchange. As early as 1100 B.C., they began to use miniature bronze tools instead of real ones.
5). The development of paper money began in China during the 600s A.D. The Italian trader Marco Polo travelled to China in the 1200s and saw that the Chinese were using paper money instead of coins.

The United Kingdom
The United Kingdom, officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, isan island nation andconstitutional monarchy in north-western Europe, member of the European Union (EU).
Great Britain is the largest of the British Isles. It comprises, together with numerous smaller islands, England and Scotland, and the principality of Wales. Northern Ireland, also known as Ulster, occupies the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland.
The United Kingdom is bordered to the south by the English Channel, which separates it from continental Europe, to the east by theNorth Sea, and to the west by the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The only land border is between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The total area of the United Kingdom is 242 sq. km. The capital and largest city is London.
The names «United Kingdom», «Great Britain», and «England» are often usedinterchangeably. The use of «Great Britain», often shortened to «Britain», to describe the whole kingdom is common and widelyaccepted, althoughstrictly it does notinclude Northern Ireland.
However, the use of «England» to mean the «United Kingdom» is not acceptable to members of the other constituent countries, especially the Scots and the Welsh.
England and Wales were unitedadministratively, politically, and legally by 1543. The crowns of England and Scotland were united in 1603, but the two countries remained separate political entities until the 1707 Act of Union, which formed the Kingdom of Great Britain with asingle legislature. From 1801, when Great Britain and Ireland were united, until the formal establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, the kingdom was officially named the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Hong Kong, which has 200,000 population, was returned to China in 1997.
The mainland of the island of Great Britain is 974 km at its longest and 531 km at its widest; however, the highlyindented nature of the island's coastline means that nowhere is more than about 120 km from the sea.
The climate of the United Kingdom is mild relative to its latitude, which is the same as that of Labrador in Canada. The mildness is an effect of the warm Gulf Stream. This current brings the prevailing south-west winds that moderate winter temperatures and bring the depressions which have the main day-to-day influence on the weather. The western side of the United Kingdom tends to be warmer than the eastern; the south is warmer than the north. The mean annual temperature is 6°C in the far north of Scotland; 11°С in the south-west of England. Winter temperatures seldom are below -10°C and summer temperatures rarely higher than 32°C. The sea winds also bring plenty of moisture; average annual precipitation is more than 1,000 mm.
Rain tends to fallthroughout the year, frequently turning to snow in the winter, especially in Scotland, the mountains of Wales, and northern England. The western side of Britain is much wetter than the eastern: average rainfall varies is from 5,000 mm in the western Highlands of Scotland, to less than 500 mm in parts of East Anglia in England.
The population of United Kingdom is more than 56 mln. people, but it is one of the world's leading commercial and industrialized nations.In terms of gross national product(GNP) it ranks fifth in the world, with Italy, after the United States, Japan, Germany, and France.
