  All of us have felt pain. We have cut ourselves or have burned. Some of us suffer pain rarely, others have painful attacks all the time. Why does pain come in many forms? What are the different ways of stopping ?
  Pain can take complete control of our body and mind, making it impossible to move and even to think. Yet we need pain. Without it, we would know if we have hurt ourselves. It is our body’s warning system. It tells us that we injured and should do something about it.
  Pain is the common reason we go to a doctor or take medicines. Until recently, however, most doctors knew little about the process of pain . Scientists have discovered that the sense of pain is made up both chemical and electrical signals. They also learned that the nervous system sends two different kinds of pain messages to the brain: one very fast, the other slow.

  Rio de Janeiro is one of the most amazing cities I’ve ever seen! It’s known for its two main beaches in the suburbs of Copacabana and Ipanema. They sell drinks, food, jewellery and deck chairs on the beach and you can join them for a friendly game of soccer or volleyball.
  There are many shops and cafés surrounding the beaches too, so there are always things to see and do. It means that it is easy to get to its different parts. The people are friendly and welcoming, and this only adds to the wonderful energy of the place.
  I wanted to see other beautiful sites, so I took a cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain. I also visited Tijuca National Park. It’s the world’s largest urban forest where you can see amazing waterfalls, hundreds of plants and trees.
  I loved the famous carnival festival! It’s considered the biggest in the world. Each day more than two million people crowd the streets. The parade is amazing, with samba schools competing for the best decorated float.
  I ate lots of Brazilian barbecue food! There’s a great range of fresh meat to choose from when eating out. The country’s national dish is feijoada, a stew made of black beans with beef or pork. It’s really tasty.

  ANJ_B1_Ukazka_7_2023_test_23_1717.png
  
  ,
  ,
  ,(a)She was born Margaret Roberts in Grantham, England on October 13, 1925. Her father was a local businessman and shop owner. She had an older sister, Muriel, and the family lived above her father’s grocery shop. Margaret learned early on about politics from her father Alfred who served as Mayor of Grantham. Margaret attended Oxford University where she graduated with a degree in Chemistry.,
  ,
  ,(b)While attending Oxford, Thatcher became interested in politics. She became a strong believer in a Conservative government where the government has a limited effect on intervention in business. She served as president of the Oxford University Conservative Association. After graduating in 1947 she got a job working as a chemist.,
  ,
  ,(c)A few years later Thatcher tried running for office for the first time. She ran for the parliamentary seat in Dartford twice, losing both times. Being a Conservative, she had little chance to win, but it was good experience for her. She then went back to school and earned her law degree. Then, in 1959 Thatcher won a seat in the House of Commons representing Finchley. She would serve there in many ways for the next 30 years.,
  ,
  ,(d)In 1970 Margaret was appointed to the position of Education Secretary. Her position in the Conservative Party continued to rise over the next few years. In 1975 when the Conservative Party lost its majority, she took over the leadership of the party and was the first woman to become Leader of the Opposition.,
  ,
  ,(e)Thatcher became Prime Minister on May 4, 1979. One of the most important events during Thatcher’s term was the Falklands War. On April 2, 1982 Argentina invaded the British Falkland Islands. Thatcher quickly sent British armed forces to retake the island. Although it was a difficult task, the British troops were able to take back the Falklands in a few short months and on June 14, 1982 the Islands were once again under British control.,
- Part 3: The History of Hawaii (7 points)
  
  ANJ_B1_Ukazka_8_2023_test_23_1717.png
  ,
  ,“The Aloha State” became the 50 state of the USA in 1959, but the history of Hawaii goes back centuries earlier. Around 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot on Hawaii Island. With only the stars to guide them, they sailed over 2,000 miles in canoes.
  In 1778, Captain James Cook, landed on Kauai, naming the group of islands the “Sandwich Islands” in honor of the Earl of Sandwich, opened the doors to the west. James Cook was killed only a year later in Kealakekua Bay on Hawaii Island.
  1791, the chief Kamehameha united the warring groups on Hawaii Island and went on to unify all of the Hawaiian Islands into one kingdom in 1810.
  In 1820, the first Protestant missionaries arrived on Hawaii Island. Hawaii became a port for seamen, traders and whalers. The developing whaling industry in Lahaina Harbor in Maui was also very successful. Throughout these years of growth, the Native Hawaiian population was greatly decreased by western diseases.
  Western influence continued to grow and in 1893, American colonists, who controlled much of Hawaii’s economy, forced the Hawaiian Kingdom out of power. In 1898, Hawaii became a territory of the United States.
  In the 20 century, sugarcane and pineapple plantations fueled Hawaii’s economy. Many Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese immigrants worked on them. Lanai, under the leadership of James Dole, became known as “Pineapple Island” after becoming the world’s leading exporter of pineapples.
  On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Four years later, on September 2, 1945, Japan signed its unconditional surrender on the battleship USS Missouri, which is still in Pearl Harbor today.,
