А вот сам текст к первому заданию
Where do you think the world’s happiest people live? Somewhere hot
with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of fine food and culture?
Not according to a recent study by the University of Leicester. In a list
ranking countries by the happiness of their citizens, it put tropical Fiji 50
places below freezing Iceland, while Canada was far above France and
Italy. And the happiest people on Earth? Those 5.5 million people who
call Denmark their home.
Surprised? Well you’ll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes
pay some of the highest taxes in the world. Most Danes are used to
seeing between 50-70% of their salary going to the government! So
what is the secret of their success?
Let’s start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides
its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the
world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capita than any
other country.
And there’s another advantage to those high taxes. Because a refuse
collector’s final salary is not that much less than someone who works in
a bank, for example, Danes don’t choose their careers based on money
or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want
to do. There’s a philosophy in Denmark known as ‘Jante-lov’, which
translates as ‘you’re no better than anybody else’. The refuse collector
can hold his head up high as he proudly does his job – workers in other
countries are not used to looking at life this way.
Money doesn’t seem as important in Denmark. It has been called ‘post-
consumerist’ society. People have nice things in their houses, but they’re
not mad about shopping and spending. They love hanging out with
friends and family at gatherings called ‘hygge’. 92% of Danes belong to
some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid by the
government.
Finally Danish people aren’t as suspicious as many other nations and
show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government.
You can see signs of this all over the country. You’ll find vegetables
stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in
a basket. Danes don’t need to lock their bikes up when they leave them
to go into a shop. Perhaps the bikes is a good symbol of Denmark. The
Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes – simple, economical, non-
poluting machines that show no status and help people keep fit.

(against, b)В период перестройки в России считалось, что коммерческие банки – это банки, основной целью которых является получение максимальной прибыли. Данный тезис был продекларирован даже в законе «О банках и банковской деятельности». Однако, дальнейшее развитие банковской системы показало, что в условиях рыночной экономики банки должны не только стремиться к получению максимально возможных доходов, но и минимизировать риски, обеспечить ликвидность, надежность и стабильность функционирования, планировать свою деятельность с учетом интересов всего общества, в том числе участвовать в реализации социально ориентированных проектов и программ, поддерживать свой имидж, развивать филиальную сеть, предоставлять более широкий спектр услуг большему числу клиентов.
На английском:Commercial banks are one of the Central elements of the market system. The efficiency of the banking activity is necessary the development of the progressive development of any national economy, because banking is constantly use in their activities and households, enterprises and government agencies. There is not a single economic entity, not consuming the services of commercial banks. The range of such services is quite wide, and yet always new, there is a modification of traditional banking products. You can hardly call this sector of the economy, in which there would be economic interests of commercial banks.
In the perestroika period in Russia was considered that commercial banks are the banks whose primary purpose is to maximize profits. This thesis was declared the law "On banks and banking activity". However, further development of the banking system showed that in conditions of market economy, the banks should not only strive to obtain the maximum possible income, but also to minimize risks, to provide liquidity, reliability and stability of functioning, plan their activities with regard to the interests of the whole society, including to participate in implementation of socially oriented projects and programs, to maintain its image, to develop branch network, to provide a wider range of services to more customers.
