Unit 4. Man — the Seeker of Happiness. Man — the Seeker of Happiness - номер 2, страница 148.

Условие.

2. A. Some people believe that your happiness is in the stars and you can learn a lot about yourself and your future from the lines on your palm. Look at the picture and read the text. You can work in pairs helping each other.

1. Life line: a long, clear life line, with no breaks indicates a long life and good health. Don't worry if your line is short – look at the top phalange of the thumb; if it is long, it shows a will that is strong enough to overcome health problems.

2. Health line: the length of this line is a guide to intelligence. The longer the line is, the more intelligent you are. If the line is high and straight, you are practical and realistic; if it goes down gently, you are imaginative and creative.

3. Heart line: a short, shallow, straight line suggests problems in showing affection. A line that is long and generously curved suggests a loving nature.

4. Intuition line: this line is not always present. If you have it, it means that you have a high degree of intuition.

5. Sun line: if this line starts at the base of the hand and ends at the base of your ring finger, it denotes prosperity. If it starts at the head line, success will come in the middle years; starting at the heart line, it promises happiness in later life.

6. Fate line: if the line starts at the wrist and continues all the way up, it indicates success as a reward for hard work.

7. Girdle ['g3:dl] of Venus: if present, it suggests sensitivity and enthusiasm.

8. Ambition line: the point at which this line separates from the life line shows how early or late in life your ambitions will be realised.

9. Marriage line: the position of these lines is a guide to when you will marry – the closer to the heart line the sooner it will be.

B. Say if you believe that your life is laid out for you. How much do your happiness and your future depend on your character and your will? Discuss it in class.

Решение 2.

2. B. Скажите, верите ли вы, что ваша жизнь предопределена. Насколько ваше счастье и ваше будущее зависят от вашего характера и вашей воли? Обсудите это в классе.

Ответ:

I don't believe that my life is laid out for me. I think things like reading palms are just for fun, not something to take seriously. I'm sure that my happiness and my future depend almost entirely on my own character and my will. If I study hard, am a good friend, and make smart choices, I'll have a good life. It's up to me, not fate.

Я не верю, что моя жизнь предопределена. Я думаю, что гадание по руке — это просто развлечение, а не что-то серьезное. Я уверен, что мое счастье и мое будущее почти полностью зависят от моего собственного характера и моей воли. Если я буду усердно учиться, буду хорошим другом и буду делать правильный выбор, у меня будет хорошая жизнь. Все зависит от меня, а не от судьбы.
