In what way may jane dixon be known to the general public решу егэ
Presenter: Hello everybody. I’m really happy to greet our new listeners today as well as our faithful audience. We continue to speak about different jobs and right now in our studio we have Nigel our pilot in training. Hello, Nigel!
Nigel: Hi, it’s great to be here.
Presenter: Thank you, Nigel. Well, first I’d like to find out how you keep to be a pilot in training and perhaps you can tell me about what lies ahead for you.
Nigel: Well, I grew up in a poor family in Manchester and I left school early. I wasted years before I realized that flying was what I wanted to do. From that moment and on worked really hard toward the day I would be a real pilot flying domestic routes here in UK. When I achieve that I’ll be happy. I have no real ambition to make transatlantic flights and to fly any big time international roots.
Presenter: I guess, that’s an unusual background for a pilot. So, how did you get started?
Nigel: First I competed my high school education. While I was studying at school and at night I also started learning to fly. I had to work two jobs as well, just to afford it, but I wanted a commercial pilot’s license and I would have run through a brick wall to get there. I had to log 250 hours and all sorts of conditions, learn to do all the maneuvers and then do a written test. I then had to do a flight test.
Presenter: So, if that all you had to do to become a pilot?
Nigel: Oh no, you also need an instrument rating for your air craft type.
Presenter: What is that exactly?
Nigel: An instrument rating is about showing that you can fly by instruments alone. When the weather is really poor and you can’t see a thing. To do this you need to do ground training and then pass another flight test. I’m happy to say that I’ve just got my reading last week. And besides you also have to pass a medical test to show that you are fit to fly. Fortunately I’ve done this successfully too.
Presenter: And what’s left to do before you can fallow your dreams, Nigel?
Nigel: I still need to get experience. First, I’ve mainly flown single engine aircraft while I’ve been learning and I need to get some hours flying mutual engine planes. The days of getting hired just because you’ve got a license a long gone. You know, most successful pilot applicants at major airlines have thousands of hours of fly experience.
Presenter: So, is that just time in the air they want?
Nigel: Oh no, there’s more. Much more. The three main factors are the type of aircraft you flown the amount and complexity of flying you’ve done and which crew position you’ve held. But original or commuter airlines may not need as much. I work for peanuts that’s what it takes for me to get my first flying job. Of course there is a lot of water to flown under the river before I get there. But I can say my training period has been really exciting, I’ve met lots of different people and learned so much.
Presenter: Well, Nigel. With the determination that you have, I’ve got no doubts, you gonna make it as a pilot. And I bet you end up doing exactly what you planned.
Nigel: Thanks, I hope so.

A. Apples in legends E. Apple hybrids
B. Best for cooking F. True story
C. How to prepare apples G. Kinds of apples
D. What is an apple? H. Healthy fruit
1. Apples are a crisp, white-fleshed fruit with a red, yellow or green skin with a
moderately sweet refreshing flavour. The apple is actually a member of the
rose family, which may seem strange until we remember that roses make
rose hips, which are fruits similar to the apple. Over the centuries the apple
tree has spread to most temperature regions of the world and many hybrids
have been developed.
2. You can find thousands of varieties of apples in the market today. Golden
and Red Delicious apples are mild and sweet, Gravenstein, Pippin and
Granny Smith apples are notably brisk and tart. Tart apples are often used
for cooked desserts like apple pie, while Delicious apples and other sweet
varieties like Braeburn and Fuji apples are usually eaten raw.
3. Apples have long been associated with the biblical story of Adam and Eve,
although there is actually no mention that, in fact, the fruit in question was
definitely an apple. In Norse mythology, apples were given a more positive
image; a magic apple was said to keep people young forever. We can also
read about such apples in Russian folk tales.
4. There as an interesting episode connected with apples in the history of the
US. It is about Johnny Appleseed. Despite the mythologycal quality of his
tale, he was a real person named John Chapman. In the 1800s he walked
barefoot across an area of 100,000 square miles, planting apple trees that
provided food and a livelihood for generations of settlers.
5. The Bramley apple is often called the King of British apples. Dessert apples,
or “eating apples”, have high sugar content, giving them the sweet flavour
that makes them delicious to eat, but also makes them lose their flavour
when cooked. Bramley apples, however, are unique because they have lower
sugar levels and their flavour doesn’t disappear when cooked in popular
recipes.
6. Apples are such commonly-eaten fruits that it’s easy to overlook their
amazing and unique health benefits. Apples combine certain nutrients in a
way that sets them apart from all other fruits. They are a good source of
dietary fiber and vitamin C, as well as flavonoids and antioxidant nutrients.
Apples help lower the risk of heart disease and cancer.
7. Rinse apples under clear running water like you would any fruit. If organic,
don’t peel unless the recipe you have chosen requires peeled apples. To
prevent browning when cutting apples for a recipe, simply put the pieces in a
bowl of cold water to which a spoonful of lemon juice has been added. For
use in future recipes, apples freeze well in plastic bags or containers.

Success is rarely achieved without a little luck, and in Camilla's case this
came in the form of a phone call from a journalist friend in New York. All of
the media in Manhattan, it seemed, was talking about the Garabedian brothers
and their unexpected move into publishing. Having made several fortunes in
nursing homes and waste disposal, they had recently acquired a group of
companies that included a minor book publisher, a newspaper, and several
magazines in varying stages of decrepitude or collapse. The assumption was that
the Garabedians had taken over the group for its main asset, which was a
building on Madison Avenue, but there were rumours that one or two of the
magazines might be kept alive and, in the words of Garabedian the younger,
"goosed." Financial analysts interpreted this as an indication of significant
injections of their capital. And one of the magazines considered suitable for
goosing was Decorating Quarterly.
It was the kind of publication you might expect to find, its pages curled
and yellowing, in the salon of a long-deserted Newport mansion.
The advertisements, few and far between, were mostly devoted to curtain
fabrics and lighting fixtures. Articles discussed the proper care of eighteenth
century porcelain. The magazine kept its editorial face firmly turned away from
anything remotely contemporary.
Garabedian the elder looked at the numbers and was all for killing the
magazine. But his brother was married to a young woman who described herself
as a homemaker. She persuaded her husband to consider a rescue operation, and
the demise of Decorating Quarterly was postponed. The word went out:
Camilla came over to New York with a detailed proposal and was hired.
As her first editorial act, she announced a change in the magazine's name:
henceforth, Decorating Quarterly would be known as DQ. New York watched
and waited. In the way of new editors making their mark, Camilla promptly
invested a considerable amount of Garabedian's money in consolidating her
position. She was seen—appropriately and expensively dressed, of course—at
all the right occasions, beaming at all the right people. Well before her first
issue of DQ appeared, she had managed to establish a certain level of celebrity
status based on nothing more substantial than social stamina.
Camilla paid particularly close attention to the decorators, knowing that
their influence over clients often extended far beyond advice about fabrics and
furniture. And so, on those rare occasions when one of the magazine's chosen
victims showed any reluctance to have their home invaded by photographers,
Camilla called the decorator. The decorator twisted his client's arm. The doors
were opened. In this way, Camilla managed to go where no other glossy
magazine had gone before. In fact, her very first issue contained a scoop,
a double triumph- the Park Avenue triplex (an Impressionist in every bathroom)
and the Mustique cottage (three servants per guest) belonging to Richard
Clement of the Wall Street Clements. A normally private bachelor, living a
secluded life, he had surrendered to his Italian decorator and Camilla. The
resulting article, twenty pages of honeyed description and superb photography,
had been widely noticed and much admired.
A15 A journalist friend phoned Camilla to
1) wish her good luck in her career.
2) invite her to come over to him in New York.
3) tell her about the latest events in the media.
4) find out what Camilla was working on.
A16 People thought that the Garabedian brothers had moved into publishing because
they
1) knew it was very profitable.
2) were interested in the real estate coming with it.
3) wanted to establish their own publishing house.
4) were seeking for positive publicity.
A17 Saying that a couple of magazines might be “goosed” Garabedian the younger
implied that
1) several magazines might be merged into one.
2) they would leave some magazines as they used to be.
3) they were prepared to invest in some magazines.
4) they were looking for sponsors for some magazines.
A18 The Garabedian brothers selected Decorating Quarterly because
1) it was the embodiment of good taste.
2) it had a long and glorious history.
3) numerous advertisements were placed there.
4) a family member found it interesting.
A19 Camilla became a sort of celebrity because she had
1) successfully changed the name of a magazine.
2) wasted a lot of Garabedian’s money.
3) promoted herself energetically.
4) been quick to publish the first issue of a new magazine.
A20 Camilla paid particularly close attention to decorators because they
1) represented the main body of the readers of DQ.
2) were an effective means to achieve her goals.
3) contributed articles on fabrics and furniture.
4) beautified the homes of her prospective sponsors.
A21 The first issue of DQ was a double triumph because
1) it featured both the city and country residences of a rich but solitary man.
2) both articles and photographs were of exceptionally good quality.
3) it featured both the owner of the place and his Italian decorator.
4) it was admired both by the professional community and the public at large.
