Перевод песни
наездник
Когда я иду с тобой, я сильнее, чем раньше
Думаю, что я люблю тебя с самого начала, поэтому я тебя не люблю
Мы это, танцуем для суждения дней
Теперь волнуйся, увидишь, как я сижу рядом или Ненависть, пока я вижу прямо
Получите все, что я вам скажу
Секрет, не секрет больше
Вместе мы делаем сверхсильную силу сверхдержавы
Ты мой брат, ты мой друг
И Imma ездить Imma ездить здесь до конца

Лучшие люди в мире

Слушайте некоторые изящества
Взломщик думает обо мне, когда
Плечо вокруг, приходящее мокрым (выглядящим мокрым)
Мы выглядим как два чертовых дурака
Теперь смеешься, если ты получишь эту шутку
Мы здесь для вас, чтобы вы выглядели хорошо и опровергали
Ублюдкам, неприятным алмазам
Переход на новый уровень, когда
Ты мой брат, ты мой друг
И Imma ездить Imma ездить здесь до конца
Ты мой брат, ты мой друг
И Imma ездить Imma ездить здесь для вас
Лучшие люди в мире

Перевод песни Best People In The World
Когда я иду с тобой, я сильнее, чем прежде.
Ты не нравилась мне с самого начала, поэтому я не люблю тебя.
Мы не будем танцевать до Судных дней,
Никаких забот, увидимся, как я сижу рядом с тобой, всегда ненавижу свою любовь,
Как проходит еще один голландец, и я расскажу тебе
Секрет, это больше не секрет.
Вместе мы создаем сверхдержаву, супер силу,
Ты мой брат, ты мой друг,
И я буду ездить, я буду ехать до конца.
Ты мой брат, ты мой друг, и я еду, я еду сюда ради тебя, лучшие люди в мире, мы лучшие люди в мире, лучшие люди в мире, мы лучшие люди в мире, лучшие люди в мире, лучшие люди в мире, мы лучшие люди в мире, лучшие люди в мире, лучшие люди в мире, мы лучшие люди в мире, мы лучшие люди в мире.
Безумно ли думать о нас, как о чем-то другом,
Чем о крекинг-кули, подумай обо мне, когда Луна засияет,
Покажи миру, что мы все еще вокруг, успокаивающе выглядим хорошо (хорошо выглядим)?
Мы похожи на двух гребаных дураков,
Которые смеются вместе с нами, если ты понимаешь эту шутку.
Мы здесь для того, чтобы вы выглядели как хорошие и достойные люди, два ублюдка, два пыльных бриллианта поднимут вас на новый уровень, пока вы ждете вечно здесь для вас (здесь для вас, чувак) прямо здесь (мы разделяем кроваво-красное поле) прямо здесь для вас прямо здесь, здесь, для вас, у меня есть мой брат со мной, лучшие люди в мире (мы лучшие)

Read the passage below and answer questions 1–15.
ASSISTANTS TO THE STARS
It stands to reason that a city like Los Angeles, which is home to so many of the famous and the semi-famous, would have an Association of Celebrity Personal Assistants (ACPA). The organisation describes personal assistants as ‘multitasking’, as ‘possessing the most resourceful, creative, insightful, and results-driven abilities.’
When I first got in touch with Josef Csongei, the organisation’s president, he was initially reluctant to talk to me because I was a journalist. As he sees it, celebrity personal assistants have not always been treated fairly by the press. But despite this, and all the hard work and lack of appreciation that can come with this line of work, he explained, the jobs were still widely sought after. He noted that people regularly travelled great distances to attend a seminar titled ‘Becoming a Celebrity Personal Assistant’, run by the ACPA. To prove his point, he told me about Dean Johnson. In the coming weeks, I heard this story from a number of assistants, including Johnson himself, and every time it left me baffled.
The story begins one night in September 1994, with Dean Johnson sitting at home in Columbia, South Carolina. Johnson is a single, 32-year-old business executive in charge of marketing and advertising at a sizeable company in the healthcare industry. It is 11 pm and he’s looking to unwind in front of the television after a long day’s work. A repeat of a talk show appears on the screen, and the host introduces her four guests: the celebrity personal assistants for Whoopi Goldberg, Roseanne Barr, Burt Reynolds and Carol Burnett. As these assistants talk about flying on private jets and attending Hollywood parties, Johnson reaches for a pen and starts taking notes. Without wasting another minute, he picks up the phone, calls directory enquiries in Los Angeles, and asks for the home phone numbers of the four assistants on the show.
Only one of them is listed: Ron Holder, who works for Whoopi Goldberg. Johnson dials his number, and a minute later Holder picks up the phone. ‘He said I was very lucky to get through,’ Johnson told me. ‘Apparently, in the three months since he had appeared on that talk show, he had received about 200 phone calls from people like me. He was in the process of disconnecting his phone, but he was nice enough to chat with me for a while.’ During their conversation, Holder told Johnson that he should consider attending the ‘Becoming a Celebrity Personal Assistant’ seminar in Los Angeles.
For someone like Johnson, with almost no connections in the industry, the notion of moving out to Los Angeles to become a celebrity personal assistant, something he did two months later, was extremely courageous — there’s no denying that. The typical American story of the guy in the remote provinces who falls in love with the glamour of the silver screen, packs up all his possessions and moves out to Hollywood to become a star is almost a century old. But Johnson’s story offered a new twist: he moved out to Hollywood to become an assistant to a star. Of the thousands of people who work in Hollywood: agents, lawyers, stylists, publicists, business managers and others, many hope to rub shoulders with the biggest stars. What’s unique about celebrity personal assistants is that such proximity appears to be the only perk their profession offers. Most describe the bulk of their work as drudgery: doing laundry, fetching groceries, paying bills. Assistants typically make about $56,000 a year — hardly a fortune by Hollywood standards, especially given the round-the-clock obligations they often have. What’s more, the job is rarely
a stepping stone to fame: celebrity personal assistants are, on average, aged about 38, right in the middle of their professional lives, and most of the ones I met described their line of work as a lifelong profession. For them, being an assistant was not the means to an end but an end in itself.

Listening comprehension
For items 1–10 listen to a man talking about the sport of elephant polo and decide whether the statements 1–10 are TRUE according to the text you hear (A), or FALSE (B), or the information on the statement is NOT STATED in the text (C). You will hear the text twice. You have 20 seconds to look through the statements.
Now we begin
Of course, polo is normally played on horses, and it’s a very fast game. Well, we don’t claim that elephant polo is the fastest game in the world, but we always maintain it’s the biggest. The elephants do actually enjoy polo. Definitely. It’s a lot of fun for them because they’re social animals, and a polo tournament is a week when dozens of elephants meet up, many from the same family, like a reunion. And of course they get fed extremely well — better than in their normal life. They use up a lot of energy and get through masses of sugar cane, especially at half-time.
The players sit on elephants and hit a white wooden ball, using a long bamboo stick that has a polo mallet head on the end of it. The pitch is about three-quarters the length of a football pitch, and the goals are the same width as football goals. There’s a basic saddle and the players are strapped onto the elephants.
We’ve never had a serious accident. A mahout — an elephant handler — sits behind each player and guides the elephant. Sometimes the mahouts have their own games, guiding the elephant and hitting the ball as well. That takes incredible skill.
During a game, if the ball hits an elephant, that’s fine. Their legs are quite thick and they do get in the way. Quite often they will kick the ball so they can run after it. They’re not allowed to pick up the ball with their trunks, though they sometimes try. That would be a free hit to the other side.
There are four elephants per team in a tournament, plus the referee’s elephant — that’s nine on the pitch at any one time. We usually have sixteen animals available on any given day, in four teams. There are two halves, called chukkas, in a game of elephant polo, the same as in normal polo. We play ten minutes of actual play. Whenever the whistle blows, the clock stops. A novice team might score one or two goals, if they’re lucky, while an advanced team might score about ten.
The polo rules are that a man can only hold the stick with his right arm, even if he is left-handed. Women can use both hands. Using the stick is hard work, because it’s long and the head is heavy. By the end of the game, your arm will be aching. But it’s an easy game to pick up with a little practice.
During the game, you chase after the ball on your elephant, going quite quickly, and you can easily miss it, though the elephant will often help you out with his foot. The elephants usually supply the entertainment. They might decide to lie down across the goal for fun but that’s an absolute no-no.
Ultimately it’s about elephants charging up and down the pitch, scoring great goals themselves and having a lot of fun. If the elephants didn’t enjoy it, or if there was any form of misbehaving, they would be removed from the game — sent off, if you like. It’s not worth risking an elephant with an attitude problem.
You get all sorts. You get big elephants that are a bit older and wiser, and we use a lot of small ones that can be exceptionally quick. We try to remove what you might call the elephant factor by swapping elephants and mahouts with the other team at halftime. If you’ve got elephants that don’t normally live together, there can be some tension. The sport always uses Indian elephants. The problem with African ones is that their ears get in the way. And they’re much taller.
You have 20 seconds to check your answers. (pause 20 seconds)
Now listen to the text again. (text repeated)
This is the end of the listening comprehension task.
