A. Today's posh pets need more than good food. They want to be treated just like humans. In Great Britain, you can see an astrologer who will do a special horoscope for your pet. Or you can take your pet to see a psychologist. You can buy pet accessories and designer clothes, special flashing collars for walking at night, and pet perfume. There are also special accessories designed to keep your pet fit, such as treadmills for dogs to exercise indoors or beds for dogs that suffer from a bad back. There is even a special pet hotel in Newcastle upon Tyne where cats and dogs can exercise in the indoor gym, relax in the jacuzzi or watch videos. B. The most famous traditional British dress is, undoubtedly, the Scottish kilt very well known all over the world. The particular pattern of tartan, the checked fabric from which Scottish national dress is made, represents the family clan that the person is from. A lot of people think that Scottish men wear kilts every day. This is not true! Kilts are only worn on special occasions such as weddings, festivals, parades or dances. So, when you see people in Scottish national dress in the streets of Edinburgh, they are probably not Scotsmen. They are American tourists. C. According to a survey conducted by a television company last year, Britain is a nation of tea-loving soap opera fans who value privacy, love their pets, grumble about the weather and are very proud of their sense of humour. 73 percent of people drink traditional tea, 53 percent of people treat their pets like a member of the family, 39 percent think the weather is the most annoying aspect of living in Britain. People generally do not mind queuing and can be spotted abroad by their tanned skin, football shirts, wearing socks with sandals and a pint of beer in their hand. Most British are not interested in clothes and spend less money on clothes than most other Europeans. D. Madame Tussaud’s is the most popular and talked about wax museum in the world. There are wax models of the famous and infamous, both living and dead, from every walk of life. David Beckham, Madonna, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Charlie Chaplin... There is no other place where you can see all the celebrities at once, even if they are only wax figures. They are standing and sitting, moving and even talking. Computer-controlled figures are especially popular with the visitors. There are several halls at Madame Tussaud’s. Highlights include the Grand Hall, the Chamber of Horrors and ‘The Spirit of London’ exhibition. E. In 1990 the Sherlock Holmes Museum was opened at 221b Baker Street. Today, it is the world’s most famous address and people have been writing to it for more than 100 years. Everything in the Sherlock Holmes Museum reminds us of the stories we know so well. It is filled with things which Holmes and Watson would have had – Holmes’s violin, his deerstalker and pipe, the Persian slipper in which he kept his tobacco and unanswered letters pinned to the wall with a knife. Among Dr Watson's things there is a diary containing hand-written notes. In the Sherlock Holmes Museum very little is locked up in glass cases. You can sit in Holmes’s armchair by the fireplace, you can examine his things and put on his deerstalker. F. It was in London that the word ‘smog’ (smoke + fog) was first used. In the 19th century London’s thick smogs became famous through various descriptions in the works of Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. London looked very gloomy in these descriptions. The situation in London reached its worst point in 1952. At the end of that year a particularly bad smog, which lasted for several days, caused about 5,000 deaths. At one time, a scene of fog in a Hollywood film was all that was necessary to symbolize London. This image is out of date. Today, London is known for its rich history, beautiful architecture, charming parks and incredible museums. G. As the famous English saying goes, ‘an Englishman’s home is his castle’. There are few things more important to a British person than having his or her own home. In modern Britain children are generally encouraged to leave home as soon as they have finished formal education. Many British parents believe that because they have already spent at least seventeen years bringing up children, they now deserve a rest. And, of course, young people themselves want to live on their own to feel independent. Besides, having a house gives a sense of stability and security. Most people have a mortgage and pay some money every month until you have paid off the total cost of the house.

Thursday School The next day was Thursday. Something terrible happened on that Thursday morning after my father had left me at the school gate. We were having our first lesson with a teacher called Captain Lancaster. He had carrot-colored hair and a fiery temper. He had been a captain in the army during the war against Hitler and that was why he still called himself Captain Lancaster instead of just plain Mister. We were all terrified of him. He used to sit at his desk watching us, searching for trouble. He gave us a lot of multiplication sums to work out in our exercise books. My friend Sidney Morgan, sitting next to me, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered softly to me, "What are eight nines?" "Seventy-two," I whispered back. Captain Lancaster looked up and shouted, "You, stand up!" "Me, sir?" I said. "Yes, you, you little idiot! You were talking! What were you saying?" I kept silent. "Please, sir," Sidney said. "It was my fault. I asked him a question." "And what exactly did you ask him?" the teacher said, speaking more quietly now and more dangerously. "I asked him what are eight nines," Sidney said. "And I suppose you answered him?" "Yes, sir," I said. "So you were cheating!" he said. "Both of you come up here!" As I walked towards the desk I knew exactly what was going to happen. I had seen it happen to others many times but up until now, it had never happened to me. Captain Lancaster took a long and very thin cane from the top of the shelf. "You first," he said, "hold out your left hand." It was almost impossible to believe that this man was about to injure me physically. The long white cane went up high in the air and came down on my hand with a crack and about two seconds later I felt the burning pain. I managed not to cry out loud but I couldn't keep the tears from pouring down my cheeks. Then I heard another crack and I knew that poor Sidney had just got it as well. When I got home from school that afternoon, my father immediately saw my swollen hand. "What's happened to your hand?" "It's nothing!" I answered. "Was it Captain Lancaster?" he cried. I told him everything. His face became whiter and whiter. "I'll kill him," he promised taking his jacket from the peg on the wall and putting it on. "No, Dad, forget it, it won't do any good!" "I've got to," he said. "I'll bet they did it to you when you were at school," I said. "Of course they did." "And I bet your Dad didn't go risking to kill the teacher who did it." "No, Danny, he didn't," he said softly. I helped him off with his jacket and hung it back on the peg. We never mentioned the subject again but just talked and talked and talked. (after Roald Dahl)
