It was settled. Frank, with her usual decisiveness, walked out as soon as she an..fantastic
(to finish) her breakfast to send a wire, and three days later Lena Finch look (to arrive).
Frank (to meet) her at the station. She (to be) in deep but not
obtrusive mourning for the recent death of her husband. Frank (not, to see) her for
two years. She (to kiss) her warmly and (to take) a good look at her.
“You (to be) very thin, darling,” she said.
Lena (to smile) bravely.
“I (to be) through a good deal lately. I (to lose) a lot of weight.”
After W. S. Maugham “The Three Fat Women of Antibes”
(Одна из героинь рассказа называла себя мужским именем Frank.)
“Then, what in God’s name (you, to leave) her for?”
“I (to want) to paint.”
I (to look) at him for quite a long time. I (not, to understand).
I thought he was mad. It must be remembered that I was very young, and I (to look)
upon him as a middle-aged man.
“But you (to be) forty.”
“That’s what (to make) me think it was high time to begin.”
“ (you, ever, to paint)? “
“I rather (to want) to be a painter when I (to be) a boy, but my father
(to make) me go into business because he (to say) there was no money in art.
I (to begin) to paint a bit a year ago. For the last year I (to go) to some
classes at night.”
“Was that where you (to go) when Mrs. Strickland thought you (to play)
bridge at your club?”
“That’s it.”
“Why (you, not, to tell) her?”
“I (to prefer) to keep it to myself.”
“Can you paint?”
“Not yet. But I shall. That’s why I (to come) over here. I couldn’t get what I wanted
in London. Perhaps I can here.”
“Do you think it’s likely that a man (to do) any good when he (to start)
at your age? Most men (to begin) painting at eighteen.”
“I can learn quicker that I could when I (to be) eighteen.”
After W. S. Maugham
“The Moon and Sixpence”
One morning when he (to be) in Rhodes a little over a week, he happened to be
coming upstairs as Betty (to walk) along the passage.
“You (never, to show) me your room, Betty,” he said.
“Oh, come in and have a look now. It’s rather nice.”
She (to turn) back and he (to follow) her in. It was over the drawingroom
and nearly as large. It was furnished in the Italian style. The bed was Venetian and beautifully
painted.
“That’s a couch of rather imposing dimensions for a widow lady,” he said facetiously.
“It’s enormous, isn’t it? But it was so lovely, I had to buy it. It (to cost) a fortune.”
His eye (to take) in the bed-table by the side. There (to be) two
or three books on it, a box of cigarettes, and on an ash-tray a briar pipe. Funny! What on earth
(Betty, to have) a pipe by her bed for?”
“Do look at this. Isn’t the painting marvellous? I almost (to cry) when I (to find) it.”
“I suppose that (to cost) a fortune too.”
“I daren’t tell you what I (to pay).”
When they (to leave) the room he (to cast) another glance at the bed-table.
The pipe (to vanish).

Перевод текста. the word constitution used with reference to metallic substances does not have the same meaning as composition. constitution denotes the manner of arrangement of the metal atoms as to geometric form in solid crystals, and the regular or ordered arrangement of different kinds of metal atoms and their relation to each other in such a crystal. the pattern formed by this orderly arrangement of the atoms is known as the space lattice. most metals crystallize with one of the three following lattice structures: close-packed cubic: copper, nickel, lead, aluminium, cobalt, silver, gold, platinum. body-centred cubic: iron, molybdenum, tungsten, chromium. hexagonal close-packed: zink, cadmium, magnesium, beryllium, titanium. this union of atoms into a geometric array is the physical difference between liquid and solid metal. the formation of metal crystals within a melt begins at each cooling surface of the liquid mass and extends from the exterior to the interior as heat is lost from the mass. every change in the conditions of cooling, such as increasing or decreasing the rate at which heat is conducted away from the freezing mass, will have an influence on the size and shape of the crystals and, therefore, on the constitution and properties of the solidified mass. melting and boiling points. - the temperature at which a metal melts, is called the melting point, the metals of lower melting points are generally the soft metals and those of high melting the hard metals. the boiling point of a substance depends on the surrounding-pressure. the term "boiling point" refers to the temperature at which the metal boils under normal atmospheric pressure. electrical conductivity. - the electrical conductivity of a substance is the electrical conducting power of a unit length per unit of cross-sectional area. the electrical resistance of metals or alloys is increased by decreasing the size of the crystals and, therefore, increasing the number of crystal boundaries. in general, all metals increase in resistivity with increase in impurities. the resistivity of metals is also increased in most cases by an increase in temperature. heat conductivity. - heat conductivity is measured as the heatconducting ability of a unit length or thickness of a substance per unit of cross-sectional area. magnetism. - magnetism is measured as the magnetic force exerted by a unit volume of a substance under standard magnetizing force. iron, cobalt and nickel are the only metals possessing considerable magnetism at room temperature, and they become non-magnetic when heated to a certain temperature. strong permanent magnets have been made chiefly of one of several compositions of steel, but in recent years a number of magnet alloys of much greater magnetism, able to exert forces many times their own weights, have been developed. density and porosity. - porosity, the quality of containing pores is lack of denseness. density, on the other hand, denotes weight per unit of volume. the distinction will be manifest from the fact that some heavy metals, like grey cast ironware porous enough to leak under heavy hydraulic pressures, whereas some lightweight metals, like aluminium, are dense and compact. most metals expand on heating and contract on cooling. colour. - most of the metals are silvery white or grey in colour. copper is the only red metal, and gold the only yellow one, although a number of copper-base alloys are also yellow. all solid metals have metallic lustre, although the true colour and lustre of many metals are often obscured by a coating of oxide — which may be white, grey, red, brown, bluish, or black.
