THE HISTORY OF COFFEE-DRINKING
0
There are many legends concerning with the origin of coffee drinking, but
probably the most well-known is the story of the dancing goats.
00
According to this version, a young goatherd in the country now known as
Ethiopia noticed that his normally sleepy goats became much more animated
after chewing on the berries of a certain bush.
11
Curious, he tried the berries at himself and found that he too was stimulated
and became ‘the happiest man in Arabia’, as he put it.
12
Later, a passing monk was encouraged to try the berries and in turn passed on
the habit to his fellow monks, who eventually seemed being able to stay
awake during night-time prayers.
13
Despite of the religious elements in its supposed origins, the historical
relationship between coffee and religion has not always been an easy one. As
the use of coffee spread through the Islamic world, coffee houses began to
spring up everywhere.
14
They were enormously popular as places where people would gather to drink
the fashionable brew, play backgammon and enjoy music and dancing. As
these activities were disapproved of by the most pious among the religious
fraternity, there were soon attempts to ban coffee and prohibit its
consumption.

стр. 3 из 7 v1
15
When coffee was introduced to Europe, it had its critics there, too. In France,
for example, coffee consumption was discouraged such as ‘a vile and
worthless foreign novelty’, and in London the authorities complained that
coffee houses distracted men from their work and domestic responsibilities.
There were, on the other hand, plenty of people prepared to proclaim the
16
virtues of the new drink. At various times, coffee has been claimed a cure for
coughs and from colds, as well as promoting a strong heart and good
digestion.
17
In more recent times there have been regular health scares involving coffee.
The supposed ill effects are various (often contradicting to the benefits
previously claimed); they include headaches, fever, weight loss and stomach
irritation.
18
As with many such controversies, the truth probably lies somewhere in
between. While it is true that some of the above symptoms can be attributed
to coffee, they are usually the result of over-consumption.
19
The medical consensus these days is that it is not harmful. It can’t be claimed
that coffee has any significant nutritional value, yet it clearly aids digestion,
stimulates the nervous system and increases in perception.
20
As the philosopher Voltaire once said, if coffee is a poison, ‘I have been
poisoning myself for more than eighty years, and I am not yet dead.’
Task 3

INTEGRATED LISTENING AND READING
Task 3
Read the book review below, then listen to part of an interview with the author of the
book. You will notice that some ideas coincide and some differ in them. Answer
questions 16-25 by choosing A if the idea is expressed in both materials, B if it can
be found only in the reading text, C if it can be found only in the audio-recording,
and D if neither of the materials expresses the idea.
Now you have 7 minutes to read the text.
The Princess Bride is one of those rare films that is almost universally beloved
by its audience and has ingrained itself in popular culture to the point where even shows
like Supernatural manage to get an Inigo Montoya (the main character of the film)
reference on occasion. Although it met with critical acclaim upon its release in 1987, a
confused marketing campaign ensured that it didn’t find its audience until later on
home video. The film celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2012 and it’s as popular as
ever, which makes it a perfect time for a behind-the-scenes memoir.
In As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From The Making Of The Princess Bride,
actor Cary Elwes, who portrays Westley in the film, takes us behind the scenes to
deliver a tale that is every bit as fun and heartwarming as The Princess Bride itself.
The book begins with the various attempts to bring William Goldman’s novel to the
screen, through the production process itself and then beyond to the film’s presence in
contemporary popular culture. Elwes tells his story with wit and enthusiasm and it’s
clear that there is a great deal of affection there for both the film and his colleagues.
If anyone was expecting an in-depth look into the film-making process, As You
Wish will disappoint slightly. There are enough details to understand the more technical
moments, but Elwes is more keen to share the experience of the making of the film
rather than the processes behind it. There are moments designed to make you laugh,
others that will tug on the heartstrings, but all of it is told with a sincerity that points to
the genuine affection for the experiences had during the making of the film.
Elwes also punctuates his narrative with anecdotes from his colleagues including
director Rob Reiner, screenwriter William Goldman and co-stars such as Robin
Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Christopher Guest and Billy Crystal. Additionally it allows
for different perspectives on certain events, particularly concerning the experiences of
the other actors in certain scenes. It makes for an all-encompassing experience, one
that takes in a variety of perspectives on the film. The overwhelming sense though is
that everyone involved still has a huge amount of love for The Princess Bride.

For a fan of the film, As You Wish is a real delight, offering insight into a beloved
family film as well as the people behind it. It’s a treat to read about stories that haven’t
previously been shared as well as re-visit ones that the cast have been talking about
before. The Princess Bride is a storytelling film about the joys of true love and Elwes
lives up to that with style.
Now listen to part of an interview with the author of the book and then do the
tasks (questions 16-25), comparing the text above and the interview. You will hear
the interview TWICE.
16 The Princess Bride is a love story.
17 The movie is based on the idea of storytelling.

How to Take the Perfect Breath
(A) Aimee Hartley, like most people, thought she knew how to breathe - she had, after
all, been doing it all her life. She had also given it plenty of thought, having trained as
a yoga teacher. But then she took a lesson with a breathing coach, and, surprisingly, he

стр. 5 из 7
told her where she was going wrong. He pointed out she wasn’t taking the air into her
lower lungs but was, she says, an “upper chest breather”. Aimee adds: “He then taught
me this conscious breathing and I then became fascinated by how we breathe.”
(B) There has been a huge rise in interest in “breathwork” in the last few years, in the
western wellness world at least. Aimee Hartley is a coach in transformational
breathing, the method created by Judith Kravitz in the 70s. There are other methods,
including Buteyko and holotropic, as well as the ancient pranayama, or breath control
practice, in yoga. Hartley offers group and private breathwork sessions, and published
a book earlier this year, Breathe Well. Hers is just one of a number of books on
breathing this year, including Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by the journalist
James Nestor and Exhale by Richie Bostock, an Instagram-friendly coach who
describes breathwork as “the next revolution in health and wellness”.
(C)These mostly contain exercises that promise to help us become better breathers,
which, it is claimed by practitioners, can transform our physical and mental health by
improving immune function, sleep, digestion and respiratory conditions, and reducing
blood pressure and anxiety. However, there is little high-quality research to back up
many of these claims, although it has become widely accepted that diaphragmatic
breathing can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety - and the NHS recommends this for
stress relief. Several studies have shown that controlled breathing can reduce levels of
the stress hormone cortisol in saliva, and another study shows that controlled breathing
can alter the chemistry in the brain, affecting levels of another stress hormone,
noradrenaline, which could enhance focus and keep brains healthier for longer.
(D) About 80% of the people Hartley sees in her sessions are “upper chest breathers,
so that when they breathe in, their between the ribs muscles and their shoulder muscles
are overused. Their chests puff out and hardly anyone is breathing really well into their
belly, which should be the foundation of the healthy breath. Proper breathing makes
your belly expand and your upper chest and back lift slightly, in a fluid motion. Watch
a toddler breathe, she says - their tummies swelling with each in-breath. Hartley
believes it is when children begin school that bad breathing habits start setting in that
last a lifetime - they are less active and start to experience emotional stresses that affect
breathing.
(E) It is hardly surprising, she says: “Modern life stops us breathing well.” Stress is
associated with small, quick breaths which, in turn, makes us feel even more frazzled.
Hartley has observed that people who live in cities, with the added problem of
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку
2021 г.

стр. 6 из 7
pollution, take in shallower breaths. And even tight-fitting clothes can affect your
breathing, while “this mad desire to be skinny”, she says, has meant people holding
their stomachs in - she says she has seen people reluctant to take a full breath because
it gives a rounded-tummy shape. There are also postural issues that can hamper our
respiratory system, whether you are hunched over a laptop or, head down and neck
bent, looking at your phone.
(F) The first step to improving your breathing is to become aware of it, says Hartley.
You may notice you are holding your breath more than you realise, or taking shallow
breaths. “Breathing is subconscious, as it goes on 24 hours a day, and most of this we
don’t notice, but it’s the only system of the body that we have some alertness over and
have some ability to change,” says Hartley. “Find out how you breathe first - place one
hand on the lower belly, one hand on the upper chest, take a few breaths and notice
which part of the body rises more.”
(G) There are dozens of exercises in Hartley’s book, but as an easy one to try, she
recommends extending the exhalation as a way to feel more relaxed. “Breathe in
through the nose for four, hold the breath for two, and then breathe out for six, and then
repeat that for a few rounds.” You can also do it on the move, ideal on your daily walk
or commute, if you are back at work. “Breathe in for five steps while you’re walking,
and out for five steps, always in and out through the nose.”
(H) Of all the wellness trends, one benefit appears to be that breathing - for all the
coaches, books and apps out there - cannot be commercialised in quite the same way
as sleep and eating. It is free, it can be done anywhere and the effects are instant.
“Breathwork is brilliant for bringing us into the present moment,” says Hartley. “We
spend a lot of time mentally elsewhere, and the breath can never be in the past or future.
If we focus on our breath, we’re pulled back to the present moment so there’s no
overworrying or overthinking. We can just be in the here and now.”

THE HISTORY OF COFFEE-DRINKING
0
There are many legends concerning with the origin of coffee drinking, but
probably the most well-known is the story of the dancing goats.
00
According to this version, a young goatherd in the country now known as
Ethiopia noticed that his normally sleepy goats became much more animated
after chewing on the berries of a certain bush.
Curious, he tried the berries at himself and found that he too was stimulated
11
and became ‘the happiest man in Arabia’, as he put it.
12
Later, a passing monk was encouraged to try the berries and in turn passed on
the habit to his fellow monks, who eventually seemed being able to stay
awake during night-time prayers.
13
Despite of the religious elements in its supposed origins, the historical
relationship between coffee and religion has not always been an easy one. As
the use of coffee spread through the Islamic world, coffee houses began to
spring up everywhere.

14
They were enormously popular as places where people would gather to drink
the fashionable brew, play backgammon and enjoy music and dancing. As
these activities were disapproved of by the most pious among the religious
fraternity, there were soon attempts to ban coffee and prohibit its
consumption.
15
When coffee was introduced to Europe, it had its critics there, too. In France,
for example, coffee consumption was discouraged such as ‘a vile and
worthless foreign novelty’, and in London the authorities complained that
coffee houses distracted men from their work and domestic responsibilities.
16
There were, on the other hand, plenty of people prepared to proclaim the
virtues of the new drink. At various times, coffee has been claimed a cure for
coughs and from colds, as well as promoting a strong heart and good
digestion.
17
In more recent times there have been regular health scares involving coffee.
The supposed ill effects are various (often contradicting to the benefits
previously claimed); they include headaches, fever, weight loss and stomach
irritation.
18
As with many such controversies, the truth probably lies somewhere in
between. While it is true that some of the above symptoms can be attributed
to coffee, they are usually the result of over-consumption.
19
The medical consensus these days is that it is not harmful. It can’t be claimed
that coffee has any significant nutritional value, yet it clearly aids digestion,
stimulates the nervous system and increases in perception.
20
As the philosopher Voltaire once said, if coffee is a poison, ‘I have been
poisoning myself for more than eighty years, and I am not yet dead.’

INTEGRATED LISTENING AND READING
Task 3
Read the book review below, then listen to part of an interview with the author of the
book. You will notice that some ideas coincide and some differ in them. Answer
questions 16-25 by choosing A if the idea is expressed in both materials, B if it can
be found only in the reading text, C if it can be found only in the audio-recording,
and D if neither of the materials expresses the idea.
Now you have 7 minutes to read the text.
The Princess Bride is one of those rare films that is almost universally beloved
by its audience and has ingrained itself in popular culture to the point where even shows
like Supernatural manage to get an Inigo Montoya (the main character of the film)
reference on occasion. Although it met with critical acclaim upon its release in 1987, a
confused marketing campaign ensured that it didn’t find its audience until later on
home video. The film celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2012 and it’s as popular as
ever, which makes it a perfect time for a behind-the-scenes memoir.
In As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales From The Making Of The Princess Bride,
actor Cary Elwes, who portrays Westley in the film, takes us behind the scenes to
deliver a tale that is every bit as fun and heartwarming as The Princess Bride itself.
The book begins with the various attempts to bring William Goldman’s novel to the
screen, through the production process itself and then beyond to the film’s presence in
contemporary popular culture. Elwes tells his story with wit and enthusiasm and it’s
clear that there is a great deal of affection there for both the film and his colleagues.
If anyone was expecting an in-depth look into the film-making process, As You
Wish will disappoint slightly. There are enough details to understand the more technical
moments, but Elwes is more keen to share the experience of the making of the film
rather than the processes behind it. There are moments designed to make you laugh,
others that will tug on the heartstrings, but all of it is told with a sincerity that points to
the genuine affection for the experiences had during the making of the film.
Elwes also punctuates his narrative with anecdotes from his colleagues including
director Rob Reiner, screenwriter William Goldman and co-stars such as Robin
Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Christopher Guest and Billy Crystal. Additionally it allows
for different perspectives on certain events, particularly concerning the experiences of
the other actors in certain scenes. It makes for an all-encompassing experience, one
that takes in a variety of perspectives on the film. The overwhelming sense though is
that everyone involved still has a huge amount of love for The Princess Bride.

For a fan of the film, As You Wish is a real delight, offering insight into a beloved
family film as well as the people behind it. It’s a treat to read about stories that haven’t
previously been shared as well as re-visit ones that the cast have been talking about
before. The Princess Bride is a storytelling film about the joys of true love and Elwes
lives up to that with style.
Now listen to part of an interview with the author of the book and then do the
tasks (questions 16-25), comparing the text above and the interview. You will hear
the interview TWICE.
16 The Princess Bride is a love story.
17 The movie is based on the idea of storytelling.
18 The book mixes the author’s stories and the stories of other people.
19 The Princess Bride was an immediate success.
20 The movie is based on the book.
21 Cary Elwes admires his colleagues’ talents.
22 The movie has become a part of pop culture.
23 Social media helped advertise The Princess Bride.
24 The Princess Bride is a mixture of genres.
25 All the cast still love the movie.

How to Take the Perfect Breath
(A) Aimee Hartley, like most people, thought she knew how to breathe - she had, after
all, been doing it all her life. She had also given it plenty of thought, having trained as
a yoga teacher. But then she took a lesson with a breathing coach, and, surprisingly, he
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку
2021 г.
региональный этап
стр. 5 из 7
told her where she was going wrong. He pointed out she wasn’t taking the air into her
lower lungs but was, she says, an “upper chest breather”. Aimee adds: “He then taught
me this conscious breathing and I then became fascinated by how we breathe.”
(B) There has been a huge rise in interest in “breathwork” in the last few years, in the
western wellness world at least. Aimee Hartley is a coach in transformational
breathing, the method created by Judith Kravitz in the 70s. There are other methods,
including Buteyko and holotropic, as well as the ancient pranayama, or breath control
practice, in yoga. Hartley offers group and private breathwork sessions, and published
a book earlier this year, Breathe Well. Hers is just one of a number of books on
breathing this year, including Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by the journalist
James Nestor and Exhale by Richie Bostock, an Instagram-friendly coach who
describes breathwork as “the next revolution in health and wellness”.
(C)These mostly contain exercises that promise to help us become better breathers,
which, it is claimed by practitioners, can transform our physical and mental health by
improving immune function, sleep, digestion and respiratory conditions, and reducing
blood pressure and anxiety. However, there is little high-quality research to back up
many of these claims, although it has become widely accepted that diaphragmatic
breathing can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety - and the NHS recommends this for
stress relief. Several studies have shown that controlled breathing can reduce levels of
the stress hormone cortisol in saliva, and another study shows that controlled breathing
can alter the chemistry in the brain, affecting levels of another stress hormone,
noradrenaline, which could enhance focus and keep brains healthier for longer.
(D) About 80% of the people Hartley sees in her sessions are “upper chest breathers,
so that when they breathe in, their between the ribs muscles and their shoulder muscles
are overused. Their chests puff out and hardly anyone is breathing really well into their
belly, which should be the foundation of the healthy breath. Proper breathing makes
your belly expand and your upper chest and back lift slightly, in a fluid motion. Watch
a toddler breathe, she says - their tummies swelling with each in-breath. Hartley
believes it is when children begin school that bad breathing habits start setting in that
last a lifetime - they are less active and start to experience emotional stresses that affect
breathing.
(E) It is hardly surprising, she says: “Modern life stops us breathing well.” Stress is
associated with small, quick breaths which, in turn, makes us feel even more frazzled.
Hartley has observed that people who live in cities, with the added problem of
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку
2021 г.
региональный этап
стр. 6 из 7
pollution, take in shallower breaths. And even tight-fitting clothes can affect your
breathing, while “this mad desire to be skinny”, she says, has meant people holding
their stomachs in - she says she has seen people reluctant to take a full breath because
it gives a rounded-tummy shape. There are also postural issues that can hamper our
respiratory system, whether you are hunched over a laptop or, head down and neck
bent, looking at your phone.
(F) The first step to improving your breathing is to become aware of it, says Hartley.
You may notice you are holding your breath more than you realise, or taking shallow
breaths. “Breathing is subconscious, as it goes on 24 hours a day, and most of this we
don’t notice, but it’s the only system of the body that we have some alertness over and
have some ability to change,” says Hartley. “Find out how you breathe first - place one
hand on the lower belly, one hand on the upper chest, take a few breaths and notice
which part of the body rises more.”
(G) There are dozens of exercises in Hartley’s book, but as an easy one to try, she
recommends extending the exhalation as a way to feel more relaxed. “Breathe in
through the nose for four, hold the breath for two, and then breathe out for six, and then
repeat that for a few rounds.” You can also do it on the move, ideal on your daily walk
or commute, if you are back at work. “Breathe in for five steps while you’re walking,
and out for five steps, always in and out through the nose.”
(H) Of all the wellness trends, one benefit appears to be that breathing - for all the
coaches, books and apps out there - cannot be commercialised in quite the same way
as sleep and eating. It is free, it can be done anywhere and the effects are instant.
“Breathwork is brilliant for bringing us into the present moment,” says Hartley. “We
spend a lot of time mentally elsewhere, and the breath can never be in the past or future.
If we focus on our breath, we’re pulled back to the present moment so there’s no
overworrying or overthinking. We can just be in the here and now.”

As I stepped out of the cabin, whiteness blinded me. The snow-covered yard
glistened under the full sun.
00
Icicles lining down the roof of the shed dripped with meltwater, with a barely
audible rhythmic sound.
11
The fir trees, which had stood motionless and black against the grey sky,
appeared alive again, green and moist in the fresh light.
12
The footprints that I had made on the snowy path were dissolving, fading over
into ovals on the flagstone. Beneath the tracks in the driveway I could see gravel
for the first time since I had arrived.
13
For weeks it had been frigid cold, but now had come this December thaw. I
wasn’t sure what day it was, or what time, only so that it had to be well after noon
already.
14
Across the road stood the young lobsterman’s truck. Brown water seeped from
the icy muck caked to its undercarriage. The red tarp covering his woodpile
showed off through a dome of melting snow.
15
I began walking towards the village. Past the summer cottages closed for the
season, and the houses of old retired couples with their porches glassed in and
their lights on all day.
16
In the deep cold this walk had been silent. But now I could hear the brook as it
ran through the woods, and under the road, emptying onto the rocky beach. I
could have hear even the trickle of water at the foot of the snowbanks, each
rivulet wiping clean a streak of dried salt on the pavement.
17
I walked on, my coat unzipped, no hat or gloves, almost warm in the sun. My
sister would be up by now out in San Francisco, driving to her office, or already
there.
18
My mother would be running the errands or meeting a friend for lunch, or just out
walking in this fine weather, imagining and worrying about me up here in Maine,
wondering how long she should wait before calling me again.

At the intersection with the main road that led down into the village, I came to the
old Baptist church. The high rectangles of stained glass along its nave were lit up
red and orange, as if from within. Its white steeple was almost painful to look at
against the brilliance of the sky.
20
I didn’t enter in. Instead, I turned around and started walking fast along the strip
of road that dipped to the shoreline, up the little rise onto the higher ground,
driven by the chance to start the day over.

G. This classic novel of teenage angst and rebellion was first
published in 1951. The novel details two days in the life of a

simple and too complex for us to make any final comment
about him or his story.
H. Published serially in 1849-1850, the novel has been
among the author’s most popular ones and was his own
‘favourite child.’ The work is semiautobiographical, and,

I. The Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of the Great Depression,
published in 1939, chronicles the migration of the 1930s and
tells the story of one Oklahoma farm family driven from
their homestead and forced to travel west to the promised
land of California. The novel captures the horrors of the
Great Depression and probes into the very nature of equality
and justice in America.
J. This novel, published in 1960, was praised for its sensitive
treatment of a child’s awakening to racism and prejudice in
the American South. It is set in a fictional town in Alabama
during the Great Depression. The protagonist is an intelligent
girl who ages from six to nine years old during the course of
the novel. She is raised with her brother by their widowed
father, a prominent lawyer who encourages his children to be
empathetic and just.
K. This novel, which details a catastrophic conflict between
humans and extraterrestrial Martians, was first published in
1897. It chronicles the events of the Martian invasion as
experienced by an unidentified male narrator and his brother.
The novel is considered a landmark work of science fiction
and has inspired numerous adaptations and imitations.
L. First published in book form in
1922, the novel is
stylistically dense and exhilarating. All the action takes place
in and immediately around Dublin on a single day. The three
central characters are intended to be modern counterparts
of Telemachus, Odysseus and Penelope, and the events of the
novel loosely parallel the major events in Odysseus’s journey
home after the Trojan War.

The Hunters at Rest by Vasily Perov, Russia
The Artist’s
Russian painter, one of the founding members of Peredvizhniki.

Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (1853).

Painted 2 versions of Hunters at Rest (1871; 1877) oil on canvas 119 x 183 cm (the 1st exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery and the 2nd
of the
in the State Russian Museum).
Painting
Style: Realism.
Famous due to the high quality of painting and popularity of hunting in the 19th century
(Perov was an avid hunter).
All the depicted characters have real prototypes: artist’s friends, doctors, also avid hunters.
It accurately reflects the emotional state of the characters.
It is compared to the hunting stories of Ivan Turgenev.
The Theme
The picture is packed with encrypted messages in its details: clothes, trophies, weapons.
of the
The main feature of the picture is the psychological portraits of the heroes.
Painting
Perov’s painting conceals deep philosophical meaning of collision of old age, youth and maturity. Old age is represented by an elderly
hunter, living with memories and idealizing the past. Youth is represented by a young hunter, who enthusiastically believes everything
he is told. Maturity is represented by a middle-aged hunter who is not easy to outwit, but relies only on his life experience.
It represents a usual life scene from the life of typical hunters of that time, though everything is not as simple as it might seem at first
glance.
The background depicts a rather gloomy autumn landscape, which brings a disturbing connotation to its comic content.
It combines several painting genres: portraits, a landscape and a still life with game and hunting equipment.
Cultural
Iconic painting representing Russian hunting traditions of the 19th century.
Value of the
Known to anyone in Russia.
Painting
Presents qualities of the hunters alluding to national character traits and the perception of nature.
Has a literary element, a characteristic feature of Russian painting of the 2nd half of the 19th century.
This canvas breathes with optimism and enthusiasm, which is part of the Russian character.

AUDIO SCRIPT
Listening
Task 1
For items 1-10 listen to part of an interview about cooking and decide whether the
statements (1-10) are TRUE (A), or FALSE (B) according to the text you hear. You
will hear the text TWICE. You have 20 seconds to look through the items.
(pause 20 seconds)
Now we begin.
Interviewer: Miranda, who taught you to cook?
Miranda: It would probably be my parents when I was younger. It was more, it was always
something that I was interested in from an early age and I used to be in the kitchen quite a lot.
Interviewer: How did you end up as a chef in London?
Miranda: One afternoon when I was reading a foodie magazine in New Zealand, and it
mentioned the Gordon Ramsay scholarship and we had to submit a menu kind of a three-course
menu and talk about the food, talk about what you’d done, so I thought, ‘Well, why not give that
a go?’ So I submitted an entry and then got a phone call six months later saying I’d got into the
semifinal, which was basically 12 people, 11 of them all chefs, so I kind of felt a bit like a fish
out of water, but you know, whilst I was there I met Josh Emmet, who was the head chef at the
Savoy Grill, which was run by Marcus, and at the end of it he said ‘Well, you know, there’s a job
at the Savoy Grill if you want one,’ and it was just too good an opportunity to turn down, um, so
it all kind of happened relatively quickly because I thought well, I can’t turn this opportunity
down. I was kind of at a point in my career where I was looking for another job anyway. So I just
thought, ‘Well, I’ll do it.’
Interviewer: Top chefs have a reputation of being difficult. What’s Marcus Wareing like to
work for?
Miranda: He is very, he’s quite, I mean I wouldn’t want to work for any other chef of that high
calibre really. He’s got a real eye for detail and he’s a perfectionist. But he’s also got a very good
business sense, which is a great thing to learn from as well, because he oversees the whole
operation. So in that sense he’s a great kind of mentor, I guess. I mean if he gets upset with
people, it’s because of what’s going on on the plate or in the restaurant. There’s no ego there at
all, it’s all about what goes on the plate and what happens, and how the guests are treated, he’s
very much a person that people, when people come to the restaurant he wants them to have an
amazing experience, no matter if they’re kind of ordering a dish for £30 or £300.
Interviewer: Is this restaurant into the new tendencies in cooking, using science in the kitchen
and things like that?
Miranda: We are more, not traditional but we use traditional techniques, classic techniques.
Marcus is a person that’s very respectful of ingredients and basically treats, you know, a carrot
the same way as oysters in the sense they’re both great things that need to be looked after and
treated in the right way to get the maximum kind of flavor out of them and I guess we’re more
about making a carrot taste like a carrot as opposed to making a carrot taste like a beetroot,
which, in a sense, I think some people get a little carried away with.

Now we begin.
К = Ken, S = Selina
K: Selina. You’ve flown all over the world. You must have some stories to tell.
S: Hm, quite a few. I’ll never forget the time I was flying in Asia and the cabin crew asked me to
sit in the kitchen during take-off.
K: What?
S: Yeah, they wanted my seat next to the emergency exit.
K: Doesn’t inspire much confidence in the airline, does it?
S: Not a lot, no. And then, to top it all, I ended up sitting next to a guy with a rattlesnake in a
basket!
K: Good god!
S: Yes, that’s what I said. Apparently, he just brought it on as hand luggage. But erm, ... did I
ever tell you about the time I was working in Nigeria?
K: No, I don’t think so.
S: Well, er, you’re not going to believe this, but way back in 1985 I was on this internal flight,
right? And it was three times overbooked!
K: Three times?
S: Oh, yeah, that was quite common in those days. But you should have heard the arguments at

K: I can imagine.
S: Anyway, in the end, they brought the army in to sort it out.

K: The army?
S: Yeah. And you’ll never guess what they did...
K: What?
S: They made everyone run around the aircraft twice.
K: What on earth for?
S: So they could give the seats to the fastest.
K: You can’t be serious!
S: It’s absolutely true.
K: And did you win a seat?
S: Certainly did. I came in third. I was quite quick in those days!
This is the end of the listening comprehension part. You have 1 minute to
complete your answer.
Integrated listening and reading
Read the book review below, then listen to part of an interview with the author of
the book. You will notice that some ideas coincide and some differ in them.
Answer questions 16-25 by choosing A if the idea is expressed in both materials,
B if it can be found only in the reading text, C if it can be found only in the
audio-recording, and D if neither of the materials expresses the idea.
Now you have 7 minutes to read the text below.
(pause 7 minutes)
Now listen to part of an interview with the author of the book and then do the tasks
(questions 16-25), comparing the text above and the interview. You will hear the interview
TWICE.
Interviewer: We chat to Cary Elwes about his new memoir on the making of The Princess
Bride. The idea of storytelling is really central to The Princess Bride and the film celebrates the
joy that that kind of creativity brings. I thought your book tied really nicely into that because you
combine your own narrative with the anecdotes of your colleagues - did you always intend to
include their stories with your own when you began working on As You Wish?
Cary: Yes, absolutely. I felt that the journey was not just fun for me and one of the reasons why
it was so fun is because I got to work with these incredible people who were a lot of fun. So I
can’t take full credit for the book. Not only did I share the writing with Joe Layden, but also with
Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по английскому языку
2021 г. Региональный этап
Rob Reiner, with William Goldman, with the cast and so on. It’s an incredible book but I can’t
take all the credit for it.
Interviewer: Was there a particular memory or time on the film that you enjoyed revisiting the
most?
Cary: I just remember being excited from the minute I got the call from my agent because I
knew about the project, I knew who Bill Goldman was obviously and I knew who Rob Reiner
was. I’d seen nearly all of his work and I knew the book. I read the book when I was 13 so from
the minute I basically met with Rob and got the part, I was whizzed off on this incredible journey
that I try to detail in the book, being basically the novice in the group. I was surrounded by a
tsunami of talent, as I like to call it, so I can’t oversell how important this film was to me and to
my career.
Interviewer: You touch on the marketing issues around the film in that 20th Century Fox, the
distributor, didn’t really know how to sell it and you raise an interesting point about the way in
which social media could’ve helped the film find its audience. Could you expand on that a little?
Cary: I think 20th Century Fox had their hands full because they’d never come across a film that
had such a mish-mash of genres. Was it a comedy? Was it a kids’ movie? Was it a fairytale?
Was it an action film? Was it an adults’ movie? They settled for the kids approach with this very
beautiful poster. It was a Maxfield Parrish type poster in America, which had Peter Falk reading
to Fred Savage, the Grandfather and the Grandson.
Interviewer: The film has a huge following online now and it shows just how much these
quotations have ingrained themselves in popular culture and you talk about how often you and
your colleagues are asked to repeat lines from the film - has there ever been a time you’re asked
to quote something from it that’s a little less well known than ‘as you wish?’
Cary: It’s mostly that one. Occasionally. What other ones do I get? ‘Drop your sword’ from
kids, but it’s mostly those three words that I get.
Interviewer: And just to finish, you close the book by discussing the ways in which it still
captures people and endured for these years. I’m one of those fans who has grown up watching it
more times than I care to say and I take something different from it every time and I wondered,
watching all these years later, is there anything in particular you take away from the film when
you see it now?
Cary: I just feel very fortunate to have been, as I said, part of this tsunami of talent that I was
surrounded by. I feel blessed to have been part of that, I really do. You’re very lucky as an actor
to have anyone resonate with your work and this one seems to have resonated quite profoundly.
You’ll hear the interview again in 30 seconds.
(pause 30 seconds)
Now listen to the interview again.
