Ben mentions the charcoal production is... 1) an easy way to earn extra money. 2) the business in which most Kenyans are involved. 3) the main cause of deforestation.

Now we are ready to start. Presenter: Today in the studio we are talking to Ben Zafani, an activist and member of the environmental group The Green Belt Movement in Kenya. Welcome, Ben! Ben: Thank you. Presenter: Well, you know, people nowadays talk a lot about environmental issues. There is great concern about wildlife and the future of the national parks in Kenya. What's happening there? Ben: One of the most serious environmental problems we are facing today is deforestation, which really affects both wildlife and people living around the forests. People need land for their own purposes—like growing crops and raising cattle—so they come, seize pieces of land, cut down trees and start cultivating the land. So many animals were kind of forced away. They had to leave their native habitats and find new hunting areas. That's not really a nice thing. Presenter: And what's happening to the people who actually live around the forest area? Ben: You know, when you tend to interfere in a wild animal's habitat, you somehow create an imbalance between people and animals—and sometimes it's not really a nice thing because animals tend to come close to where people live, which is really threatening. Presenter: So do they attack people? Ben: Not that they really attack settlements, but they do come in packs, groups, prides or herds—constantly migrating from one place to another because of deforestation. So people are vulnerable at any time. Presenter: You mean if I lived there, I could be chased by an angry rhinoceros or an elephant? Ben: No, actually they don't chase people. Most of the time they just pass by. But at times you come into contact with an unusual animal. You know, animals live in packs. So when one animal is rejected from its pack, it's an angry animal. It cannot join the other packs, so it attacks anything and is extremely dangerous. It should not be disturbed. People can do nothing to help it. Anyone who dares to approach it is almost certainly doomed. Presenter: Wow, sounds horrible. I suppose no one would dare to try to catch these wild animals. Well, but what actually causes deforestation? Ben: People burn wood to produce charcoal and sell it. Because, as you know, people there have very poor living conditions and they try hard to earn an extra dime to support their families. Charcoal is in great demand for cooking and other odd jobs. So people don't even have to travel anywhere to sell it. It's a good job, but it's so destructive. Presenter: So what's being done to try and remedy this or to try and counterbalance the effect? Ben: There are three or four large activist groups that are coming together to discuss how to reduce damage to the environment. You all know the Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai, who is a leader of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya. She's been trying to discourage people from destroying forests for a long time and to explain what deforestation does to the country and the environment in general and how it affects people in the forest areas. She teaches people to adjust to new conditions and environments. She moves with the times. Wangari supports national parks, conservation areas and safari parks in the country. She helps organize small businesses to learn to earn from ecotourism in the forest areas. Presenter: Look, I've always wanted to go to Africa, and I'm just wondering if that whole safari business is really good—if everything you see on the BBC Wildlife Channel—you know, documentaries—is true-to-life. Ben: It's not a cliché, but it's something you have to experience when you get there on safari. The BBC has never lied to their viewers. Presenter: Wow, so I could be just out there driving around in my car and on my own just seeing all those animals? Ben: I'm afraid they won't let you drive in your own car. They provide services for you. We have in Kenya an institute called the KWS—the Kenya Wildlife Service—and it has its own wardens that are highly trained to protect you when you're in the forest. You just say where and when you want to go, what places and animals you would like to see. Tours are kind of regulated. For example, you will never be allowed to come close to feeding the animals. 6.

Установите соответствие между текстами A–G и заголовками 1–8. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний. Пример ответа: 1234567 1. Good for kings 2. A picturesque location 3. A northern influence 4. Nights are for sleeping 5. It worked! 6. Unseen treasures 7. Dance with the devil 8. Hungry for in-person events A. Every third Saturday in May, museums in many countries around the world remain open until midnight or even later, some of them until the early morning hours. This international cultural event is known as the Long Night of Museums or the Night of Museums and has already become a tradition. The main reason for the event is to attract more people to museums, especially young people, and to show what museums have to offer. This policy has proved effective: in 2021, almost 2 million people visited museums that night. B. The first Long Night of Museums took place in Berlin in 1997. One of the inspirations for its creation was the annual White Nights Festival of classical music that is held every year in St. Petersburg, Russia, from June 12 to July 2 – the time when the northern skies of Russia’s ‘second capital’ never reach complete darkness. The second place that took up the idea of the Long Night of Museums was Paris, where this cultural event first took place in 2002 and included performing arts. C. The first Night of Museums in Russia was held in 2002 in Krasnoyarsk. St. Petersburg and Saratov joined the new tradition in 2006, while Moscow and Ekaterinburg joined it in 2007. Later, the event became very popular in Russia, and in addition to museums, some of the embassies in Moscow opened their doors for the visitors. Embassies in Moscow often occupy beautiful 19th century mansions that are famous for both their architecture and interior design. This was the first time they were open to the public. D. In 2021, in addition to the Night of Museums, and perhaps, to make up for the year 2020, when only online tours were possible because of COVID, the City of Moscow held Days of Historic and Cultural Heritage from April 18 to May 31, when as many as 18 embassies welcomed tourists. Among these were the British and American Ambassador’s residences, the embassies of France, Italy, Norway and other countries. To be able to see these legendary buildings people had to sign up well in advance. E. The British Ambassador’s residence is located across the Moskva River from the Kremlin, in Sofiyskaya Embankment. The building was built in the early 1890-s by Russia’s biggest sugar manufacturer Pavel Kharitonenko. The gothic interior design by architect Schechtel makes it one of the most beautiful buildings in Moscow. The building was given to the British Embassy in 1929. During their official visits to Moscow Queen Elizabeth II in 1994, Princess Diana in 1995 and Princess Royal Anne in 2014 stayed in this building. F. Spaso House, the residence of the American Ambassador in Moscow, is located in Spasopeskovskaya Square near Arbat street, close to the location depicted in Vasily Polenov’s famous painting “Moscow Courtyard”. The building was built in 1913 and until 1917 belonged to the textile industrialist Nikolay Vtorov. It has been the residence of the US Ambassador since 1933. Concerts and art exhibitions are often held at Spaso House, but none of them can compare with the Spring Festival of 1935. G. In April, 1935, the US Ambassador Bullitt decided to throw an extraordinary party at his residence. Trees and flowers were ordered for the decorations, birds and animals were borrowed from the Moscow Zoo, including parakeets, pheasants, goats and even a baby bear! Soviet ministers and generals were among the 400 guests, as well as the writer Mikhail Bulgakov. The Spring Festival lasted all night, and later Bulgakov used this setting for the Spring Ball of the Full Moon, aka Satan’s Ball, in his novel The Master and Margarita.

A — 5. It worked! В тексте говорится о целях акции и её результатах: «The main reason for the event is to attract more people to museums... This policy has proved effective: in 2021, almost 2 million people visited museums that night». Это доказывает, что задумка сработала. B — 3. A northern influence В тексте рассказывается, что идея Ночи музеев возникла под влиянием петербургского фестиваля: «One of the inspirations for its creation was the annual White Nights Festival... in St. Petersburg, Russia». Это описание северного (петербургского) влияния на появление акции. C — 6. Unseen treasures В тексте упоминается, что в Москве к акции присоединились посольства, которые обычно закрыты для публики: «some of the embassies in Moscow opened their doors for the visitors... This was the first time they were open to the public». Посетители увидели то, что обычно недоступно, — настоящие сокровища архитектуры. D — 8. Hungry for in-person events В тексте говорится, что после 2020 года, когда были возможны только онлайн-туры, Москва провела Дни наследия с очными посещениями: «to make up for the year 2020, when only online tours were possible... as many as 18 embassies welcomed tourists». Люди соскучились по живым мероприятиям и активно записывались. E — 2. A picturesque location В тексте описывается живописное расположение резиденции британского посла: «located across the Moskva River from the Kremlin», а также её красивый готический интерьер: «The gothic interior design... makes it one of the most beautiful buildings in Moscow». Это описание живописного места. F — 1. Good for kings В тексте упоминается, что в резиденции американского посла останавливались королевские особы: «Queen Elizabeth II in 1994, Princess Diana in 1995 and Princess Royal Anne in 2014 stayed in this building». Это место подходит для приёма монархов. G — 7. Dance with the devil В тексте рассказывается о вечеринке, которая позже была использована Булгаковым в романе «Мастер и Маргарита» как Бал Сатаны: «Bulgakov used this setting for the Spring Ball of the Full Moon, aka Satan's Ball, in his novel The Master and Margarita». Это прямая отсылка к «танцу с дьяволом» в литературе.
