Captain Cowgill had always wanted to arrange a hot - air balloon

expedition.

One day, he placed an announcement in all the morning papers.

He

wrote that he needed three people who wanted to take a risky adventure.

Ten

people came to his office and Captain Cowgill selected three of them : two men

and a young lady.

The first volunteer was Mr.

Crutter, a well - dressed man of about sixty.

He

looked depressed and unhappy.

The second one was a doctor, Dr.

Hagan, a sad

thin gentleman.

The third adventurer, Miss Dermott, looked slim and miserable.

They were ready to fly in the balloon in spite of the risks.

Though Captain

Cowgill hoped for success, there was a great chance that the participants

wouldn’t come back.

The next day, the balloon was ready for the journey.

They had some food

and the gas equipment.

It was supposed that the travellers would fly during the

day and then land for the night.

Right before take - off, a young man ran up to

Captain Cowgill and begged to let him join the expedition.

Captain Cowgill

listened to his arguments and let the young man, Mr.

Winden, fly too.

With the last farewell to Captain Cowgill, the balloon went sailing

towards the clouds.

At first the travellers said nothing.

An hour later they found

the journey exciting.

Two hours later they revealed their reasons for coming on

the dangerous flight.

Mr. Crutter said that he had been cheated by his partners and had lost a

large part of his business.

Though he had enough money left, he felt extremely

depressed.

Dr. Hagan told the travellers that he had lost his job in a hospital.

He

felt lonely and unwanted.

Miss Dermott said that she suffered from a serious

disease and had no money for treatment.

Mr. Winden had just split up with his

girlfriend and was ready to die.

In the evening, the travellers decided to take a rest.

They landed in a

deserted place and tied the balloon to a tree.

After supper they continue talking

about their unhappy fates.

Suddenly, Mr.

Crutter offered to share his money

with his new friends.

Dr. Hagan smiled and looked at Miss Dermott.

“I think I

can cure you, Miss Dermott, ” he said.

“I have already had patients with the same

diagnosis.

” Miss Dermott smiled.

But it wasn’t the last surprise.

Mr. Winden

proposed to Miss Dermott saying that he had fallen in love at first sight.

She

shyly promised to think it over.

The talk raised their spirits and, in the morning, everybody decided to go

back home.

Now that all their problems were happily solved, they didn’t want to

go anywhere.

Suddenly Miss Dermott cried out pointing to distant object in the

sky.

It was their balloon that had broken loose while they were having breakfast.

Nobody felt upset!

The group decided to walk to the nearest railway station.

Mr. Crutter

bought tickets for his new friends and they sent Captain Cowgill a telegram.

It

said that the balloon had flown away accidentally, their expedition had failed

and they would arrive in town the next day.

Captain Cowgill tried to find the participants for his project using an advert.

Определите, какие из утверждений соответствуют тексту, не подходят или не идет речи

Robert Falcon Scott

Robert Falcon Scott, known as Captain Scott or Scott of the Antarctic, was a British polar explorer.

He joined the Royal Navy in 1882.

Although he had no previous experience of polar research, in 1900 he became the leader of the British Antarctic Expedition.

This expedition, known as the Discovery Expedition lasted from 1901 to 1904.

Among other important things it determined the nature and size of the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.

The aim of Scott’s second expedition in 1910 - 12 was to reach the South Pole.

Departing from Cardiff, Wales, on the ship Terra Nova, the expedition reached the Antarctic coast in 1911.

There Scott learned that the Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen, had already left for the Pole.

So Scott’s chance to reach the South Pole before R.

Amundsen was poor.

Equipped with motor tractors, ponies and dogs, Scott and 11 members of his team set off for the Pole on 24 October, 1911.

Unfortunately, the motor tractors rapidly broke down and their ponies were unsuitable for Antarctic conditions.

Very soon, six members of the team were sent back.

The five explorers continued their dangerous journey across the snowy desert.

On 16 January, they saw a black marker flag left by the Norwegian expedition, and two days later the party reached the South Pole itself, where the Norwegians had built a snow marker.

Amundsen had reached the South Pole more than a month earlier, on 14 December 1911.

Scott was greatly disappointed after the exhausting 81 - day journey and recorded in his diary, "This is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have reached it without the reward of priority.

"

However, the 800 mile return journey was even more terrible.

Two members fell ill and died, and the remaining explorers were frozen inside their tent in a terrible nine - day snowstorm.

The last entry in Scott's diary was made on 29 March.

Eight months later a search party, led by Dr Atkinson, discovered the tent and the bodies of the explorers, along with the diaries and last letters of Scott.

Scott had written a message explaining the reasons for the failure.

The search party buried the brave explorers and built a snow memorial on their grave.

Later, another memorial was put up at Observation Hill, at Hut Point (Antarctica) with the words ‘to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.

The news about the death of the Polar team reached Britain in February 1913.

Within days, Scott became a national icon.

A memorial service was held in St Paul’s Cathedral.

A campaign was launched to raise a memorial fund to continue the scientific work Scott had carried out.

The Scott Polar Research Institute was founded.

In the several years following the disaster, more than 30 monuments and memorials were set up in Britain alone.

Captain Scott put the British flag on the South Pole.

1)

2)

3)

Scott’s diaries were found only in the 21st century.

One day in 1777, Joseph Montgolfier was relaxing in front of the fire with his laundry drying nearby.

After a while, he noticed that one of his shirts started to float upwards.

The young man was curious about what happening, so he threw some small pieces of paper into the fireplace to see if the same thing happened to them.

When he saw them coming out of the chimney, he came to the conclusion that smoke had the power to lift up and carry them through the air.

Joseph loved science and wanted to become an inventor, so he started trying to think of a craft that would be able to capture smoke and heat and lift people off the ground.

Along with his brother Jacques, he began performing experiments on something that later became the first hot - air balloon.

The Montgolfier brothers quickly realised that it was heat and not smoke that had the power to lift things.

On 19th September 1783, they presented their first hot - air balloon, which was made from paper and cloth.

They burned some straw underneath it and the heat helped the balloon to float.

As this was its first trip, the Montgolfier brothers were too nervous to go up in the balloon themselves.

So, instead they put a sheep, a duck and a chicken in the basket that hung below the balloon for the two - mile journey.

The new invention was a great success and the animals landed safe and sound.

A huge crowd, including some members of the French Royal Family gathered to watch the balloon floating high in the sky.

Shortly afterwards, brothers asked the king for permission to send men up in the balloon.

The King agreed, and the first flight consisting of human passengers took place in Paris on 21st November 1783 with great success.

The balloon reached heights of around 150 metres as it floated over the Paris rooftops, starting a long tradition of hot - air ballooning.
