5-е упр. Прочтите текст, подчеркните ключевые слова. Найдите в тексте предложение или словосочетание, которое может стать заголовком
When you look into the future, the next thirty years, a reasonably long term, you perhaps see reasons to be both pessimistic and optimistic. What changes and development, do you think, we might see over the next thirty years?
It is very hard to predict – it has to be said – and I do feel a strange mixture of pessimist and optimism. I call myself a constructive pessimism, because you can’t help but be pessimistic, looking at some of the issues we face, and yet if we don’t face them in a constructive way, then that pessimism merely feeds on itself, and becomes fatalism, and the world really will get into a very sorry state. But obviously, the critical problems we face now are largely hose of the population, which is a problem ... which is unfolding remorselessly, and will really hit us in the middle of the next century; the misuse and abuse of the world’s resources, both the renewable resources, the speed with which we are using up oil, gas, whatever else it may be; problems of poverty and famine and hunger, which... what we saw last year in Ethiopia and the Sudan, I am sorry to say, is merely a very small indication of the turn of the century; the arms build-up, which has reached really staggeringly immortal levels ... one thousand million dollars being spent on arms every year.

MEASUREMENT
The internationally used scientific system of measurement is called the metric system. It has decided advantages over the so-called English system, for its divisions are decimal: that is, they are based on the multiple of 10. Whereas in the English system 12 inches equal one foot, in the metric system 10 millimeters equal one centimeter, and 100 (10Х10) centimeters equal one meter. Every equivalent in the metric system is a multiple of 10, which makes computation very easy.
The common metric units for measuring length, with their English equivalents are given in Table I given below. Notice that the meter is a little longer than the English yard — about 3 1/3 inches longer.
Metric units of weight are also based on the multiple 10. The unit is the gram, which is the weight of one cubic centimeter of pure water at the temperature of 4° Centigrade. The common metric units for measuring weight, with their English equivalents are given below in Table II.
The measurement of area in the metric system involves square centimeters, and so on, just as in the English system, it involves square yards and square inches.
The measurement of volume is made clear in Table III. The unit of liquid measure, a part of measurement of volume, is the liter, which is almost exactly equal to the English quart, as you will observe.

VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball is a team game played one rectangular area 18 m by 9 m, divided into two equal square courts by the center line, above which spans a tout horizontal net at a height of 2.43 m for men and 2.24 m for women. In play, two teams, each of six players, take up positions in their respective courts and aim to deliver the ball over the net and to ‘to ground’ it in their opponent’s court, while preventing it from touching the floor of their own. Plays begins when the server, standing behind the base line and in the service area, strikes the ball with one hand or arm to deliver it over the net and into the opposite court, where a number of receiving team attempts to save the ball and in the same movement to loft it for a team-mate to play. Points are scored only by the serving team, and the first team to reach 15 points wins the set, proving that they have a lead of 2 points.
Volleyball, like basketball, was developed in the USA. It achieved Olympic status in 1964 at Tokio.
