shapes. A lot of metalworking processes have been developed for certain applications. They can be divided into five broad groups: 1. rolling, 2. extrusion, 3. drawing, 4. forging, 5. sheet-metal forming. During the first four processes metal is subjected to large amounts of strain (deformation). But if deformation goes at a high temperature, the metal will recrystallize — that is, new strain-free grains will grow instead of deformed grains. For this reason metals are usually rolled, extruded, drawn, or forged above their recrystallization temperature. This is called hot working. Under these conditions there is no limit to the compressive plastic strain to which the metal can be subjected. Other processes are performed below the recrystalli-zation temperature. These are called cold working. Cold working hardens metal and makes the part stronger. However, there is a limit to the strain before a cold part cracks. Rolling Rolling is the most common metalworking process.More than 90 percent of the aluminum, steel and copper produced are rolled at least once in the course of production. The most common rolled product is sheet. Rolling can be done either hot or cold. If the rolling is finished cold, the surface will be smoother and the product stronger. Extrusion Extrusion is pushing the billet to flow through the orifice of a die. Products may have either a simple or a complex cross section. Aluminium window frames are the examples of complex extrusions. Tubes or other hollow parts can also be extruded. The initial piece is a thick-walled tube, and the extruded part is shaped between a die on the outside of the tube and a mandrel held on the inside. In back-extrusion (штамповка выдавливанием) the workpiece is placed in the bottom of a hole and a loosely fitting ram is pushed against it. The ram forces the metal to flow back around it, with the gap between the ram and the die determining the wall thickness. The example of this process is the manufacturing of aluminium beer cans. Дополнительный словарь: metalworking — металлообработка shape [∫eip] — форма, формировать rolling ['rouliŋ] — прокатка extrusion [eks'tru:jәn] — экструзия, выдавливание drawing ['dro:iŋ] — волочение forging ['fo:djiŋ] — ковка sheet [∫i:t] — лист at least — по крайней мере common ['komәn] — общий billet ['bilit] – заготовка cross section — поперечное сечение die [dai] — штамп, пуансон, матрица, фильера, волочильная доска window frame [freim] – рама окна tube [tju:b] — труба initial piece — заготовка hollow ['holәu] — полый thick-walled — толстостенный mandrel ['mændril] — оправка, сердечник loosely ['lu:sli] — свободно, с зазором fitting — зд. Посадка ram [ræm] — пуансон, плунжер Answer the questions: 1. Why are metals so important in industry? 2. What are the main metalworking processes? 3. Why are metals worked mostly hot? 4. What properties does cold working give to metals? 5. What is rolling? Where is it used? 6. What is extrusion? What shapes can be obtained after extrusion? 7. What are the types of extrusion?

1 One million tons of gum is chewed every year.
2 Chewing gum was invented in Sweden.
3 Chewing gum was found in the mouth of a nine thousand-year-old skeleton.
4 The first gum was made of tree sap and sugar
5 Babies are born wanting to chew gum
6 The ancient Greeks believed chewing gum was good for health.
7 South American Indians made the first packets of chewing gum.
8 Chewing gum was taken to North America by the English.


P Today on Worldly Wise, the world’s most common habit …. Yes, chewing gum. We chew 100,000 tons of it every year but how many of us actually know what it’s made of?
I Excuse me, I see you’re chewing gum …
A Yeah.
I Do you have any idea what it’s made of?
A Nah—no idea. Never thought about it.
I Do you have any idea what chewing gum is made of?
B … Uhh, no, not a clue.Rubber maybe?
I And do you have any idea who invented it?
A I don’t know!
B Me either!
I An American?
B Yeah—sure—I guess it was invented by an American, yeah.
P Well, it wasn’t! Believe it or not, it wasn’t an American who invented chewing gum. It was invented in Sweden. In Sweden?! I hear you say. But listen to Leanne Ward, a chewing gum expert.
LW The history of chewing goes back thousands of years. In Sweden in 1993, the skeleton of a teenager was found—he was 9,000 years old. And in his mouth was a gum made of tree sap and sweetened with honey—the first known chewing gum.
P It seems we’ve always chewed things with no real food value. Babies are born wanting to chew. Everything goes straight into their mouths. So why do we chew? Here’s Leanne again.
LW We chew to clean our teeth and freshen our breath but also because we just like chewing. The ancient Greeks chewed a gum called mastica, which is a type of tree sap. They thought it was good for their health and women really enjoyed chewing it as a way to sweeten their breath. Then in the first century AD we know that the Mayan Indians in Central America liked to chew a tree sap, called chiclay. They wrapped it in leaves and put it in their mouths so this was, if you like, the first pack of chewing gum. The American Indians also chewed tree sap—they gave it to the English settlers when they arrived, but it wasn’t until a few hundred years later, that it became really popular in America.

Some colleges are small, with only a few hundred students, but some of the big State Universities are huge, with up to 60 000 students. There are more than 2 600 universities in the USA, and nearly all colleges have both men and women students. If Americans want to go to a college or university they often take college admission tests. Usually there are no admission examinations. Private colleges and universities, especially such large and well-known ones as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, have examinations. You can study many interesting subjects at college in short or long courses, but if you want to get a degree, you have to study for at least four years. Classes start in September and go on till early June with a break in the middle. Questions 1. Where do Americans go when they finish school? 2. How many universities are there in the USA? 3. Do Americans take admission exams or tests if they go to a college or university? 4. What is the term of studies if you want to get a degree? 5. How long does the academic year last?

RICHERPICKINGS

ByNigelCope

1Who is the busiest retailer in Britain? Marks and Spencer? Sainsbury perhaps, or Tesco? Wrong on all three counts. The answer is Richer Sounds, a little-known, privately-owned, cut-price retailer of hi-fi equipment with 28 shops in the UK.

2In the Guinness Book of Records, Richer Sounds warrants an entry for the highest sales per square foot of any retailer in the UK — £17,000 — for its store on London Bridge Walk in the City Even taking an average across all 28 stores. Richer Sounds still clocks up £5,780 per square foot, ten times more than Marks and Spencer, six times the sales achieved by Sainsbury.

3It is profitable too. Sales are up and its operating margin has soared from 3.4 per cent in 1989 to almost thirteen per cent today Last year Richer Sounds made profits of more than £3m on sales of almost £48 m.

4The man behind Richer Sounds' success is founder, managing director and 98 per cent shareholder Julian Richer, a 39-year- old Londoner who, at the age of 14, used to buy and sell candles during the energy crisis of 1974. A likeable bloke who wears his blond hair in a ponytail and operates from a small converted Victorian vinegar factory in Bermondsey, south-east London, he raps out his sales pitch (what salespeople say to persuade you to buy sth).

5«Even when I was at school I wanted to go into business,» he says, «but my age was against me. Property was out – I wasn't old enough to sign a contract. Cars were out — I couldn't drive. So I turned to hi-fi, which was catching on at school. I bought a second-hand Bang and Olufsen for £10, did it up (to repair sth) and sold it for £22.» In 1979, at the age of 19, he opened his first shop — the one on London Bridge Walk.

6Since then little has changed. In simple terms, Richer Sounds sells discounted hi-fi from tiny basic shops with low overheads. Stock turnover is rapid and the company's smallness gives it flexibility to take advantage of deals offered by manufacturers on end-of-line or surplus equipment.

7The technique has enabled Richer Sounds to secure itself a lucrative niche in a £4 bn audiovisual market dominated by independents.

9Suppliersare keen to do business with this quirky (unusual) retailer.

12Good service is another priority. At Richer Sounds staff are trained not to be pushy (rude, bold). They all attend two training seminars a year at Richer's country house in Yorkshire, where more attention is paid to following the correct administrative procedures.

13First-time hi-fi buyers get a call to check that they have plugged in the equipment correctly. Customer receipts include a free phone number they can dial if they have a problem. Richer's own name and office number are supplied too.

14The emphasis is on fun. If it's raining, customers are given a free umbrella. Other seasonal gifts include mince pies at Christmas and hot-cross buns at Easter. «We have a laugh,» Richer says. «We don't take ourselves seriously, but we do take our customers seriously.»

William Caxton William Caxton is the first English printer. He was born in Kent in 1422. His father was a farmer. William did not want to become a farmer like his father. So his father sent him to London. He worked in an office which traded with different countries. William liked to read new books which were printed in Europe.When William Caxton was thirty, after his master's death he started his own business in Belgium. In 1471 he left his business and began to translate French books into English. He became interested in printing and at last he learnt it. William wanted to have his own press one day and he did. In 1476 he brought his printing-press to London. Printing was something new at that time and most people thought that it was the work of the devil. Some of the people wanted to break his press. Caxton printed his first book in 1477. It was the first book printed in the English language. The book was Caxton's translation of the French 'Tales of Troy'. William Caxton printed about eighty books. He translated thirty-one books from French, Caxton died in 1491. помогите перевести

and 6 romantic novels under the name of Mary Westmacott. Her books have been translated into 103 foreign languages. She is the third best-selling author in the world ( after Shakespeare and the Bible). Many of her novels and short stories have been filmed. The Mousetrap, her most famous play, is now the longest-running play in history. Agatha Christie was born at Torquay, Devonshire. She was educated at home and look singing lessons in Paris. She began writing at the end of the First World War. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920. That was the first appearance of Hercule Poirot, who became one of the most popular private detectives since Sherlock Holmes. This little Belgian with the egg-shaped head and the passion for order amazes everyone by his powerful intellect and his brilliant solutions to the most complicated crimes.Agatha Christie became generally recognised in 1926, after the publishing of her novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.It's still considered her masterpiece.When Agatha Cristie got tired of Hercule Poirot she invented Miss Marple, a deceptively mild old lady with her own method of investigation.Her last Poirot book, Curtain, appeared shortly before her death, and her last Miss Marple story, Sleeping Murder, and her autobiography were published after her death.Agatha Christie's success with millions of readers lies in her ability to combine clever plots with excellent character drawing, and a keen sense of humour with great powers of observation. Her plots always mislead the reader and keep him in suspense.
