. . I saw an endless pit in front of me?

Английский язык | 10 - 11 классы

. . I saw an endless pit in front of me.

The thought of jumping over it — wearing a 45 - pound backpack made my legs tremble.

"I thought this was supposed to be fun, " I grumbled to myself.

The trip had sounded great : a school - sponsored, nine - day hiking trip in Arizona with a group of students.

I'd known beforehand that this trip wasn't going to be a walk in the park, but I had never expected this.

It was raining, we got lost, and now I had to jump over the pit — and do so in the dark with a heavy pack!

I watched a few people jump and land on the other side, and decided I might as well do this.

I got across fine, but then slipped and fell forward, and my face smashed into the knee of the person who had been trying to catch me.

Blood spilled from my nose as I stood up.

At that time I was certain the trip could not get worse.

I was nearly crying when we set up our tents that night.

As I lay in my tent, all I could think about was how miserable I felt.

"Want to talk?

" asked Lori, the girl I shared the tent with.

"No, I'm trying to sleep, " I replied.

Talking to anyone else was the last thing I wanted to do.

The next day I felt exhausted.

As I looked up at the clear blue sky, though, I thought, "Maybe this won't be so bad after all.

" But when we started hiking after breakfast, the sky changed color and turned dull gray.

Then it began to drizzle.

As I started putting my rain gear on, the light drizzle became a downpour.

I was soon soaked to the skin, and I was getting colder and colder.

We were hiking in a blinding blizzard.

It had become so thick by the time we stopped that it was impossible to see even the mountains around us.

All we had was a compass to guide us.

My whole body was in pain.

I was putting on all my dry clothes when my tent mate, Lori, crawled in.

I looked at her and saw the same pain and fear in her eyes that I had been feeling.

I realized how self - centered I had been : I wasn't the only one here who was feeling the freezing wind and the aching muscles.

Lori's sleeping bag had got soaked through, so we decided to try to squeeze both of us into mine.

We got in fine.

The trouble came when we tried to zip it up.

As soon as we got the zipper up to our waists, we would think about how funny this looked and we'd start laughing Of course, this made the zipper go all the way down to our toes.

We would have to start the whole thing over again, but I didn't care.

I was laughing.

No, we were laughing together.

The Development of Rubber Here is the story of rubber.

From the earliest time it was common knowledge the Peruvians that when a cut was made in the outside skin of a rubber tree , a white dliquid milk came out , and that this a sticky mass of rubber might be made .

This rubber is soft when warm, so that it is possible to give it any .

The Peruvians made the that it was very good for keeping out the wet.

Then in the early 1800's , the Americans made use of it for the first time .

First they made overshoes to their feet dry.

Then came a certain Mr.

Mackintosh, who made coats of cloth covered with natural rubber.

From that day to this we have been coating cloth with rubber as Mr.

Mackintosh, and our raincoats are still named after him.

But these first rubber overshoes and raincoats were all soft and sticky in summer, and and inelastic in the winter when it was cold.

But the rubber we have today is soft and elastiс, very strong - even in the warmest summer and the coldest winter.

This was made by a man called Goodyear.

After many , he found that nitric acid made the rubber much better, but it is not hard and strong enough.

Then a strange thing took .

A friend of his , Nicholas Hayward, had the idea in his sleep that rubber might be made hard and strong if mixed with sulphur and put in the sun.

Goodyear put this idea the test, and saw that it did have more or less the desired effect - though somewhat less than more.

The only effect it had was on the outside of the drubber.

It is common knowledge now that the to make rubber hard and strong is by heating dit with sulphur.

1 What happened at the beginning of the flight?

2 Why were the passengers nervous and upset then?

3 What was the last news?

Was the news tragic?

4What were all the passengers afraid of?

5 How did the story end?

The plane had taken off from the air - field in London, and the journey to South Africa, to Johannesburg to be exact, had started.

It was just after the war, and it was not a jet, as is the case nowadays, but it was a big plane with four engines, and four propellers, of course.

When a few minutes later we were crossing the Channel, one of the engines went wrong, but the stewardess left and the passengers were quite safe.

However, when the plane reached the Mediterranean Sea, the second engine broke down, but the stewardess told us there was nothing to worry about because two engines were quite enough to keep us in the air.

As we got near to the shores of Africa, the rumour spread that only one propeller was working.

The stewardess kept her mouth shut, this time, but we came to the conclusion the plane must have developed engine trouble and so it had.

Presently we were flying over the jungle in Central Africa and my fellow travellers were terribly upset.

Women were holding their children tighter and tighter and men were drinking more and more heavily… There was also a person there who was saying a prayer in a loud voice.

I too was terribly frustrated, and as I looked down at the bush, I could not help thinking of cannibalism, death and other pleasant things.

At that moment, the loud - speaker was switched on, and the captain's voice was heard : "Ladies and gentlemen, I have tragic news for you".

The faces of all the passengers turned pale.

Some burst into tears, and the prayer stifled in the parson's mouth.

My heart sank into my boots.

The captain continued in a gloomy voice : "It is my sad duty to inform you that England has lost her last football match against Scotland!
