I. Read an interview with Michelle Fossett, a knife thrower's assistant.

Fill in gaps a)—f) in the article with questions 1-6.

1. Did you have any accidents in those ten years?

2. How did you meet your knife-throwing partner?

3. Did he say sorry?

4 How did you become a knife thrower's assistant?

5. Which is worse, being the assistant or the thrower?

6. When was your first show together?


a) ...............................

I was born into the circus. My dad was a knife thrower and my mum was his assistant. One day Mum couldn't assist him, so I did. I didn't have to, it was my decision. This was when I was 12. Dad never hit me or my mum - he was very good.

b) .... ...

I met him at my uncle's circus. He wanted to be a knife thrower and he needed an assistant. We had to practise for hours every day. But it was fantastic to hear our first audience go "Ooh!". The last part of the act was throwing six knives on fire. The audience really loved that.

c)..... . Did you have any accidents in those ten years?..........................

Over ten years ago. And we worked out that, in the first ten years of our act, my partner threw 195,200 knives at me!

d) ...............................

Yes, when he tried to throw the knives too close together. He hit me three times — in the leg, in the arm and the top of my head! But I couldn't go to the doctor's because I had to do the next show. That's what circus people do — the show must go on.

e).... Did he say sorry?.......

No, he didn't say sorry, but then he never apologises! I got really angry about that and we had a big arguement — but after the show, not in front of the audience. That's unprofessional.

f) ...............................

It's the same. If something goes wrong, we both feel really bad! But I love the excitement It's wonderful when 500 people are watching me and I'm making them happy.

II. Read the article again. Complete the sentences.

1. Michelle first assisted her father because her mother...............................

2. We know her father was a good knife thrower because he ...............................

3. Her partner hit her three times because ...............................

4. She had to do the next show so she ...............................

5. Her partner didn't apologise so they ...............................

2. We know her father was a good knife thrower because he workes as a knife thrower in the Circus

3. Her partner hit her three times because he tried to throw the knives too close together

4. She had to do the next show so she couldn't go to the doctor's

5. Her partner didn't apologize so they had a big argument

Explanation:

To answer the first question, make sure to carefully read the beginning of each answer. For example, the one that begins with "No, he didn't say sorry," would most likely be the answer to "Did he say sorry?"

To answer the second question, look for the information provided and change the grammatical person:

...I couldn't go to the doctor's

...she couldn't go to the doctor's

What is the use of semicolon ?

A semicolon is a punctuation mark (;) that is used to connect two independent clauses that are closely related in meaning. It is often used as an alternative to a period, to indicate a stronger connection between the two clauses than a period would suggest, but not as strong as a conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or").

The semicolon can also be used to separate items in a list when the items themselves contain commas. In this case, the semicolon helps to clarify the structure of the list and avoid confusion.

Additionally, the semicolon can be used to separate two clauses in which the second clause explains, expands upon, or provides a contrast to the first clause. Hence, the sentence can be completed as:

They was too old to play roughly with the kids; it was not​ to old to enjoy running around the neighborhood

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm.

Every human being held it as an article of faith that the farm would go bankrupt sooner or later, and, above all, that the windmill would be a failure. They would meet in the public-houses and prove to one another by means of diagrams that the windmill was bound to fall down, or that if it did stand up, then that it would never work. And yet, against their will, they had developed a certain respect for the efficiency with which the animals were managing their own affairs.

What do the actions of the humans in this passage most reveal about their motivations and values?

They are motivated by the completion of a task.
They value others’ contributions equally.
They are motivated by others' failures.
They value efficiency and accomplishment.
