Текст 1. 1. Basically, the automobile consists of three parts: the power plant, or the engine, the chassis and the body. To these may be added the accessories: the heater, lights, radio, speedometer and other devices. 2. The power plant or engine is the source of power that makes the wheels rotate and the car move. It includes electric, fuel, cooling and lubricating systems. Most automobile engines have six or eight cylinders. 3. The chassis consists of a power train, frame with axles, wheels and springs. The chassis includes brakes and steering system. 4. The power train carries the power from the engine to the car wheels and contains the clutch, gearbox, propeller or cardan shaft, differential and the final drive. 5. The clutch is a friction device connecting (or disconnecting) the engine crankshaft to the gears in the gearbox. It is used for freeing the gearbox from the engine and is controlled by the clutch pedal. 6. Brakes are important mechanisms of the car. They are used to slow or stop the car. Most braking systems in use today are hydraulic. They are operated by the brake pedal. When the driver pushes down on the brake pedal, they are applied and the car stops.

Submarine attack
July 20 in the afternoon at 1 pm in Miami there was an attack on a submarine, it was a giant squid. The purpose of the immersion was to study corals, but after the attack of the squid, the expedition ended. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
On July 10, a team of researchers from Malibu arrived in Miami. The main task is to research corals and the ecology of the seabed. The team is only 20 people and each has their own important work. They submerged in a submarine every three days, but after the squid incident, the expedition did not go according to plan. On July 20, 5 people from a team of scientists, as usual, collected all the instruments and devices and sank to a depth of 1000 m. According to the chief leader, diving deeper and deeper and reaching a depth of 800 m, they noticed strange sounds and a large creature floating in the distance, thinking that this octopus continued dive. But already having plunged to a depth of 1000m, they realized that this is far from an octopus. The creature's movements were not like those of an octopus or fish. As soon as they swam close enough, they realized that this was a squid whose size was 200 times the normal size of a squid. Also, the rest of the team saw everything that was happening through the camera and sensors and advised them to return to land as soon as possible. According to scientists, such squids had never been seen anywhere and had to be studied.

Основная задача состоит в том чтобы исследовать кораллы и экологию морского дна.В команде всего 20 человек и у каждого есть своя немаловажная работа. Они каждые три дня погружались в воду на подводной лодке.Но после проишествия с кальмарами экспедиция пошла не по плану. 20 июля 5 человек из команды ученых как обычно собрали все инструменты , приборы и погрузились на глубину 1000м.По словам главного руководителя погружаясь все глубже и глубже и дойдя до глубины 800 м они заметили странные звуки и вдалеке плавающее большое создание,думая что это осьминог продолжили погружение.Но уже погрузившись до глубины 1000м они поняли что это далеко не осьминог . Движения создания были не похожи на движения осьминога или рыбы . Как только они подплыли достаточно близко поняли что это кальмар размеры которого в 200 раз привышают обычного размера кальмара. Также остальная часть команды видела все что происходит через камеру и датчики и посоветовали поскорее вернутся на сушу.По словам ученых ранее таких кальмаров нигде не встречали и это нужно было изучить .
Wilde published “The Canterville Ghost” in 1887 at the end of the Victorian period. This short tale is a study in contrasts, simultaneously parodying the traditional ghost story and satirizing American values. While Wilde most obviously satirizes American materialism, English traditional culture is also fair game. In this humorous tale, an American family buys the old, haunted Canterville Chase from Lord Canterville who warns them of the ghost, Sir Simon, that haunts the mansion. The Americans are undaunted, and the ghosts efforts to terrorize the family are done in vain. Aside from the humorous satire, Wilde does include a serious message through the actions of young Virginia who learns what life and death truly are, and why love is stronger than both.
