Cleaning windows may not seem like a risky profession, but how about doing it while dangling hundreds of metres off the ground? That’s the job of skyscraper window cleaners! Unlike conventional window cleaners, those working on skyscrapers must be certified to do so. This is because they have to operate the complicated mechanisms of their lifting and support equipment. They must also be trained in proper safety procedures including appropriate chemical use (industrial cleaning products can pose a health risk) and, most importantly, fall prevention.

When most people see a wildfire, they do their best to flee from the area. But a smokejumper does exactly the opposite and dives straight into the flames! These firefighters race to the scene of a wildfire in high-speed jets and then parachute towards the burning trees in order to extinguish the flames! Although this may sound pretty dangerous, smokejumpers actually have an excellent safety record. This is mostly due to their fireproof jumpsuits as well as a thorough training programme. They receive training in the latest firefighting techniques every winter.

There are few jobs as unappealing and dangerous as being a hazmat diver. The job involves diving into sewage systems, toxic spills and even nuclear reactors in order to clean them and carry out maintenance. The divers wear pressurised suits designed to protect them, and are vaccinated on a regular basis against a variety of diseases found in waste material. The work itself is challenging since it’s impossible to see anything in the conditions they work in, so divers must rely on touch alone to fix faults.

For several weeks during autumn and winter, the freezing waters of the Bering Sea west of Alaska become crowded with fishermen. Their goal: catching Alaskan king crab, which can only be caught in the midst of a stormy sea! This lucrative business earns some fishermen $50,000 for just a few days’ work; however, due to the harsh conditions, it has also been dubbed the most dangerous job in America. The hours are long and arduous, while the many risks include catching hypothermia due to the cold, falling overboard and becoming tangled while using fishing lines. Many accidents occur every year because of the unpredictable weather conditions these fishermen work in.

D Read the text and match each paragraph (A–D) with its heading (1–5). You can only use each heading once. There is one extra heading.

Explanation of matches:

Paragraph A: The text describes the challenges of skyscraper window cleaning, focusing on the difficulty of working at great heights and the need for certification and safety procedures. This aligns with heading 4. RISING TO A CHALLENGE.

Абзац A: Текст описывает трудности мытья окон небоскребов, акцентируя внимание на сложности работы на большой высоте и необходимости сертификации и соблюдения процедур безопасности. Это соответствует заголовку 4. RISING TO A CHALLENGE (Преодоление вызова).

Paragraph B: This paragraph details smokejumpers who actively dive into wildfires to extinguish them. Their action of combating and controlling natural fires directly relates to heading 3. COOLING DOWN NATURE.

Абзац B: Этот абзац подробно описывает пожарных-десантников, которые активно прыгают в лесные пожары, чтобы потушить их. Их действия по борьбе и контролю природных пожаров напрямую связаны с заголовком 3. COOLING DOWN NATURE (Охлаждение природы).

Paragraph C: The paragraph describes hazmat divers working in sewage systems, toxic spills, and nuclear reactors, specifically mentioning that it's "impossible to see anything" and they "must rely on touch alone". This perfectly matches heading 5. BLINDED BY THEIR SURROUNDINGS.

Абзац C: Абзац описывает дайверов-спасателей, работающих в канализационных системах, при токсичных разливах и даже в ядерных реакторах, особо упоминая, что «ничего невозможно увидеть» и им «приходится полагаться только на осязание». Это идеально соответствует заголовку 5. BLINDED BY THEIR SURROUNDINGS (Ослепленные своим окружением).

Paragraph D: This text talks about Alaskan king crab fishermen who work in freezing, stormy seas. It explicitly states that this "lucrative business earns some fishermen $50,000 for just a few days' work" and it's "the most dangerous job in America". This directly corresponds to heading 1. HIGH PAY IF YOU SURVIVE.

Абзац D: Этот текст рассказывает о ловцах королевского краба на Аляске, которые работают в ледяных, штормовых морях. В нем прямо говорится, что этот «прибыльный бизнес приносит некоторым рыбакам 50 000 долларов всего за несколько дней работы» и это «самая опасная работа в Америке». Это напрямую соответствует заголовку 1. HIGH PAY IF YOU SURVIVE (Высокая оплата, если вы выживете).

The extra heading is 2. MONTHS AWAY FROM HOME, as no paragraph discusses being away from home for extended periods.

Лишний заголовок — 2. MONTHS AWAY FROM HOME (Месяцы вдали от дома), так как ни один абзац не описывает пребывание вдали от дома в течение длительного времени.
