can be found the world over, though its style and its meaning vary
dramatically. Tattooing has long featured in the cultures of the Japanese,
Polynesians and Native Americans. The practices of the Maoris of New Zealand provide a striking example of
tattooing. They are well known for the elaborate patterns with which they.
Integration with white settlers led to a decline in the custom, but it is now

READING TEST
THE ANGRY FAN
This happened in Australia during a water polo game that was one of the main sports events of the season. There was nothing exciting at the beginning of the game, but suddenly, one of the players jumped out of the water and ran
to the referee. He said that one of the forwards of the other team had bitten him in the leg while he was swimming under the water.
At first, the referee thought it was some kind of joke, but when the player pointed to blood on his leg, he had to believe that it was serious. He called the forward and asked him why he had done such a strange thing; though the forward insisted
that he had not bitten anybody, the referee made him
leave the game.
They
began again, but a few minutes later, two players, one from each team, climbed out of the water, shouting that somebody had bitten them. There was blood on both players'
legs. The game was stopped, and they
began to let the water out of the pool. When almost all the water was let out, everybody saw a young crocodile at the bottom of the pool. Somebody had put the
crocodile into the pool, but why? The truth became known when the players
returned to their dressing room after
the game and found a letter there.
"I have been a water polo fan for many
years", the author of the
letter wrote, "and I am not satisfied with the way the players seem to act. They have allowed the game to become
slow and uninteresting, and I have
decided that I must do something to make them move faster. I don't think I can do this well myself, and I have decided

READING
THE LADY OR THE TIGER?
In the very old
times, there lived a king, and he was a man of great fancy.
One day an idea
came to his mind, and the king decided to modernize the system of
court trial in his kingdom.
For this
purpose, there was built a big arena with galleries around it. In that arena
the most important criminals were to be put on trial in public. But neither the king
nor anybody of his court was to decide the fate of the accused person. It was the criminal
himself who did it. On an appointed day when all the people had gathered
at the galleries, and the king and his court had taken their places, the
accused person stepped into the arena. On the other side of the arena, there
were two doors. The
doors were side by side and identical. The accused person was to walk to those doors and open one of them. If he opened the
one, there came out of it a hungry tiger and tore him to pieces, as a punishment for his crime. At the same time, the sad bells began to clang, and the
people with heavy hearts went to their
homes. But if the accused opened the
other door, there came out of it a beautiful lady. And to that lady, he
was immediately married, as a reward for his innocence.
It did not matter that the accused might already have a wife and children, or a bride; the king took no notice of such trifles.
Such was the
king's method of showing justice.
The king had a
daughter whom he loved greatly. She was very beautiful and, at the same time, she
was very conceited. It happened so that she fell in love with a young man whose
social position was not as high as hers. But they were happy.
One day the
king learned about their love. The young man was immediately put into prison, and a day was
appointed for his trial in the king's arena.
On this
occasion, the most savage tiger was caught and caged behind one of the
doors, and a very beautiful girl was found to stand behind the other door.
The appointed
day came. A lot of people gathered at the galleries. The king and his court
were in their places. Then the signal was given, and the lover of the princess
walked into the arena. He bowed to the king and looked at the princess who was
sitting to the right of her father. The princess had learned the secret of the
doors. She knew not only in which room there was the lady, but also who that
lady was. It was one of the most beautiful girls of the court, and the princess
hated her. The princess was very jealous.
When the lover
looked at her, he understood that she knew behind which door was the tiger, and behind
which stood the lady. His eyes asked: "Which?"
The question
was clear to her, and she had to answer. She raised her hand and made a
slight movement towards the right door. Her lover turned and, without the
slightest hesitation, went to the door on the right.
And now it is for you, dear
reader, to decide: did the princess lie or didn't?
Make your decision. But
remember, that, on the one hand, the princess
loved the young man greatly; but on the other hand, she was hot-tempered and jealous.
I Read
