I should not have listened to her,” he once told me trustingly. - You should never listen to what the flowers say. You just have to look at them and breathe in their scent. My flower filled my whole planet with fragrance, but I did not know how to rejoice in it. This talk of claws and tigers, they should have touched me, and I'm angry.
And he also confessed:
- I did not understand anything then! It was necessary to judge not by words, but by deeds. She gave me her fragrance, lit up my life. I shouldn't have run. Behind these pathetic tricks and tricks, I should have guessed the tenderness. The flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young, I didn't know how to love yet.
I feel sorry for people who divide their lives into "things I like to do" and "things I have to do". Life is short. Learn to love her wholeheartedly!
Let's just be. No promises needed. Don't expect the impossible. You will be with me, and I will be with you. Let's just be with each other. Silently. Quiet. And for real!!!
I decided today is my perfect day! And why I decided so, I have not decided yet ...
I woke up and thought... "Lord, give me..." And stopped... What can I ask Him for?... I have a family... I have friends... I hear and see... I eat and drink... They love me and I love... What do I need?... That's what... "God, thank you for everything"
The lesson I learned and followed all my life was to try and try and try again - but never give up!
I should have been nobody. Life inflicted a wound on me at birth, half of my face was paralyzed at birth. Teachers considered me mentally retarded, and my mother gave up as a child. For seven years, seven long hungry years, agents and producers told me in unison that I should give up acting first and then screenwriting. I was turned around at auditions before I even took off my jacket, and the producers rejected my scripts without reading a single line. I swallowed tears, at work. Cleaned lion cages at the zoo, chopped meat. 7 long hard years. 7 years of tears, sweat and faith in yourself.
You, too, will not achieve anything until you go through a period of despair. And then? And then I whole year lived on $1,600. And wrote Rocky. Believe in yourself and love your mom.
I'll try not to call again
Do not rave about you in the arms of the night.
And don't tell anyone else
What you need, dear, I really, really.I'll try not to write anymore
And do not shed tears, thinking that the other
Ready to kiss as eagerly
In the arms I love, drowning.I'll try not to dream anymore
After all, you're not mine, but I always wanted
So that every day and again and again
Your smile warmed my soul.I'll try not to love anymore.
There really are a lot of people like you.
But you know... never forget
You... so dear...
They must be subtracted from the calendar,
And life is getting shorter.I was busy with stupid vanity,
The day slipped - I did not see a friend
And did not shake his hand alive ...
Well! This day I must throw off the circle.And if I didn’t remember my mother in a day,
Didn't call my sister or brother at least once,
There is nothing to say in justification:
That day is gone! Priceless waste!I'm lazy or tired -
Didn't see the fun show
I did not read magical poems
And he cheated himself in some way, didn't he?And if I didn't help someone,
Didn't compose a frame or a line,
That robbed today's result
And made life a day shorter.Fold - so scary how much I squandered
At gatherings where it's neither warm nor hot...
But he didn’t say the main words to his beloved
And didn't buy flowers or a gift.How many days that are wasted
Days that died somehow by the way.
They must be taken off the calendar.
And measure your life even shorter.

Specify numbers to indicate commas between parts of the WBS.
- I have a flower, (1) - he said, (2) - and I water it every morning. I have three volcanoes, (3), I clean them out every week. I clean all three, (4) and the extinct one too. Few things can happen. And my volcanoes, (5) and my flower are useful, (6) that I own them. And the stars are of no use to you ... the business man opened his mouth, (7) but did not answer, (8), and the Little Prince went on.
- The little prince looked at the lamplighter, (1) and he liked this man more and more, (2) who was so true to his word. The little prince remembered (3) how he once rearranged a chair from place to place, (4) to once again look at the sunset. And he wanted to help his friend. “Listen, (5) - he said to the lamplighter, (6) - I know the remedy: you can rest, (7) whenever you want.
- Your planet is so tiny, (1) - continued the little prince, (2) - you can go around it in three steps. And you just need to go at such a speed, (3) to stay in the sun all the time. When you want to relax, (4) you just keep going, (5) go ... And the day will drag on for as long as (6) you want. “Well, (7) this is of little use to me, (8) - said the lamplighter. More than anything in the world, I love to sleep.
- I am a geographer, (1) not a traveller. I miss travellers. After all, it is not geographers who keep count of cities, (2) rivers, (3) seas, (4) oceans, (5) and deserts. The geographer is the most important person, (6) he has no time to roam. He hosts travelers and writes down their stories. And if one of them tells something interesting, (7) the geographer makes inquiries and checks whether (8) this person is decent or not.
- Seen from the outside, (1.) It was a splendid sight. The movements of this army obeyed the subtlest rhythm, (2) just like in ballet. Having lit their fires, (3) the lamplighters went to sleep. Having performed their dance, (4) they also hid behind the scenes. Then came the turn of lamplighters from Russia and India. Then - in Africa and Europe. Then in South America, (5) then to North America. And they were never wrong, (6) no one went on stage at the wrong time.
- Adults, (1) of course, (2) will not believe you. They imagine (3) that they take up a lot of space. They seem majestic to themselves, (4) like baobabs. And you advise them to make an accurate calculation. They will love it, (5) they love numbers. Don't waste your time on this arithmetic.
- “What a strange planet!” thought the Little Prince. “Completely dry, (1) all in needles and salty. And people lack imagination. They only repeat what (2) you tell them. At home I had a flower, (3) my beauty and joy, (4), and he always spoke first.
- Then he fell asleep, (1) I took him in my arms and went on. It even seemed to me (2) that there is nothing more fragile on our Earth. By the light of the moon, I looked at his pale forehead, (3) at closed eyelashes, (4) at the golden strands of hair, (5) which the wind picked through, (6) and said to myself: all this is just a shell. The most important thing is (7) what you cannot see with your eyes ... His half-open lips trembled in a smile, (8) and I told myself the most touching thing in this sleeping Little Prince was his loyalty to the flower.
- Then I lowered my eyes, (1) and jumped up like that! At the foot of the wall, (2) raising its head to the Little Prince, (3) coiled a small snake, (4) one of those (5) whose bite kills. Groping for a revolver in my pocket, (6) I rushed to her at a run, (7) but at the sound of footsteps the snake quietly streamed across the sand, (8) like a dying stream, (9) and with a barely audible ringing disappeared between the stones. I ran up to the wall just in time (10) to catch the little prince.
- And when you are consoled, (1) you will be glad (2) that you knew me once. Sometimes you will open the window like this, (3) and you will be pleased. And your friends will be surprised (4) that you are laughing, (5) looking at the sky. And you will tell them: “Yes, (6), yes, (7) I always laugh, (8) looking at the stars!” And they will think (9) that you have gone mad.
- I understand (1) what is wrong with you. When I was young, (2) I put my ignorance in everyone's face. And if you hide your ignorance, (3) you will not be beaten and you will never grow wiser. You are no longer alone, (4) we no longer sit separately in our living room, (5) separated by a blank wall, (6) I will be there.
- Montag thought, (1) all the time he thought incessantly about those women in his living room, (2) empty women, (3) from whom the neon wind had long since blown the last grains of reason, (4) and about his ridiculous idea to read a book to them. Brad, (5) crazy! Another outburst of anger (6) with which he did not know how to cope. Usually Beatty never got behind the wheel, (7) but today he was driving, (8) turning sharp corners, (9) leaning forward from the height of the driver's throne, (10) the flaps of his mackintosh flapped and fluttered, (11) he was like a huge bat, (12) rushing over the car with his chest towards.
- Try to get to the river, (1) then go along the coast, (2) there is an old railway track, (3) leading out of the city into the interior of the country. All communication is now by air, (4) and most of the railroad tracks have long been abandoned, (5) but this track has been preserved, (6) rusting slowly. They say (7) along the railroad track, (8) what goes from here to Los Angeles, (9) you can meet the former pupils of Harvard University. Most of them are fugitives (10) on the run from the police. They are few (11) and the government (12) apparently (13) does not consider them dangerous enough (14) to continue searching outside the cities.
- Dark banks slipped by, (1) the river carried him now among the hills. For the first time in many years, he saw before him the stars, (2), an endless procession of luminaries making their circle. A huge stellar chariot rolled across the sky, (3) threatening to crush him. When the suitcase filled with water and sank, (4) Montag rolled onto his back. The river lazily rolled its waves, (5) moving farther and farther away from people, (6) who ate shadows for breakfast, (7) smoke for lunch and fog for dinner. The river was truly real, (8) she carefully held Montag in her arms, (9) she did not rush him, (10) she gave time to think about everything, (11) what happened to him this month, (12) this year, (13), all his life. He listened to the beats of his heart: (14) it beat calmly and evenly.
- The moon hung low in the sky. Moon and moonlight. Where is he from? Well, understandable, (1) from the sun. Where does the sun get its light from? Out of nowhere, (2) it burns with its own fire. Burning and burning from day to day, (3) all the time. Sun and time. Sun, (4) time, (5) fire. There is a sun in the sky, (6) a clock on earth, (7) measuring time. And after many years (8) lived on earth, and few minutes (9) spent on this river, (10) he finally understood (11) why he should never burn again.

B-8 (GIA)
Find among the sentences NGN with homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses.
- (1) Longren, a sailor of the Orion, a strong brig of three hundred tons, on which he had served for ten years and to whom he was more attached than any son to his own mother, was finally to leave the service. (2) It happened like this. (3) On one of his rare returns home, he did not see, as always from a distance, on the threshold of the house, wife Mary, clasping her hands, and then running towards her until she was out of breath. (4) Instead, at the crib - a new item in Longren's small house - stood an excited neighbor.
- (1) Ten years of wandering life left very little money in his hands. (2) He began to work. (3) Soon his toys appeared in city shops - skillfully made small models of boats, cutters, sailboats, cruisers, steamers - in a word, what he knew intimately, which, due to the nature of the work, partly replaced for him the roar of port life and the picturesque labor of navigation. (4) In this way, Longren obtained enough to live within the framework of a moderate life.
- (1) But these days of the north lured Longren out of his small house more often than the sun, throwing in clear weather the sea and Kaperna with blankets of airy gold. (2) Longren overlooked the bridge, laid on long rows of piles. (3) He smoked a pipe blown by the wind for a long time, watching how the bottom bare near the coast smoked with gray foam, barely keeping up with the ramparts, how the horizon filled the space with herds of maned creatures, rushing in fierce despair to distant consolation. (4) Moans and noises, the howling firing of huge surges of water and, it seemed, a visible stream of wind slashing the surroundings - so strong was its even run - gave Longren's soul that dullness, deafness, which, reducing grief to vague sadness, is equal to the effect of deep sleep.
- (1) Silently, until his last words, sent after Mennrs, Longren stood; he stood motionless, stern and quiet, like a judge, showing deep contempt for Menners - there was more than hatred in his silence, and everyone felt it. (2) If he had shouted, if he had expressed gloating with gestures or fussiness, the fishermen would have understood him, but he acted differently from what they did - he acted imposingly, incomprehensibly and by this he set himself above others, in a word, he did something that is not forgiven. (3) No one bowed to him any more, held out his hand, cast a recognizing, greeting look.
- (1) This did not happen often, although Lisa lay only four miles from Kaperna, but the road to him went through the forest, and in the forest there are many things that can frighten children, in addition to physical danger, which, however, is difficult to meet at such a close distance from the city, but still it does not interfere with bearing in mind. (2) Therefore, only in good days, in the morning, when the thicket surrounding the road is full of sunny showers, flowers and silence, and when Assol's impressionability was not threatened by phantoms of the imagination, Longren let her go to the city. (3) One day, in the middle of such a journey to the city, the girl sat down by the road to eat a piece of cake, put in a basket for breakfast. (4) While eating, she sorted through the toys; two or three of them were new to her: Longren had made them at night.
- (1) Just as the captain was preparing to humbly answer that he was joking and ready to show the elephant, when suddenly a quiet run-off of the coastal stream turned the yacht with its nose to the middle of the stream, and, like a real one, leaving the shore at full speed, it floated smoothly down. (2) The scale of the visible instantly changed: the stream seemed to the girl a huge river, and the yacht seemed like a distant, large vessel, to which, almost falling into the water, frightened and dumbfounded, she stretched out her hands. (3) “The captain was scared,” she thought, and ran after the floating toy, hoping that it would be washed ashore somewhere. (4) Hastily dragging a not heavy, but interfering basket, Assol repeated: - “Ah, Lord! After all, if it happened ... ”(5) She tried not to lose sight of the beautiful, smoothly escaping triangle of sails, stumbled, fell and ran again.
- (1) Hello, Assol! - he will say. – (2) Far, far away from here, I saw you in a dream and came to take you forever to my kingdom. (3) You will live there with me in the pink valley. (4) You will have everything you want; we will live with you so amicably and cheerfully that your soul will never know tears and sadness. (5) he will put you in a boat, bring you on a ship, and you will leave forever to a brilliant country where the sun rises and where the stars will descend from the sky to congratulate you on your arrival. - (6) - Is this all for me? - the girl asked quietly. (7- Her serious eyes brightened with confidence. (8) A dangerous wizard would certainly not speak like that; she moved closer. - (9) Maybe he has already passed ... that ship?
- (1) But the passionate, almost religious affection for her strange child was, presumably, the only valve of those inclinations of hers, chloroformed by upbringing and fate, which no longer live, but wander vaguely, leaving the will inactive. (2) A noble lady resembled a peacock that had hatched a swan's egg. (3) She painfully felt the beautiful isolation of her son when she pressed the boy to her breast and when sadness, love and embarrassment filled her heart. (1) So the cloudy effect, bizarrely built by the sun's rays, penetrates the symmetrical setting of the government building, depriving it of its banal virtues; the eye sees and does not recognize the premises: the mysterious shades of light create a dazzling harmony among the squalor.
- (1) If he did not want the trees to be cut, the trees remained untouched, if he asked to forgive or reward anyone, the person concerned knew that this would be so; that he could ride any horse, take any dog to the castle; rummaging in the library, running barefoot and eating whatever he pleases. 2 His father struggled with this for some time, but yielded, not to principle, but to the desire of his wife. (3) He limited himself to removing all the children of servants from the castle, fearing that, thanks to low society, the boy's whims would turn into inclinations that were difficult to eradicate. (4) In general, he was absorbedly occupied with countless family processes, the beginning of which was lost in the era of the emergence of paper mills, and the end - in the death of all slanderers. (5) In addition, affairs of state, affairs of the estates, the dictation of memoirs, parade hunts, reading newspapers and complex correspondence kept him at some internal distance from the family; he saw his son so rarely that he sometimes forgot how old he was.
- (1) Meanwhile, the imposing dialogue came to the mind of the captain less and less often, as Gray walked towards the goal with clenched teeth and a pale face. (2) He endured restless work with a determined effort of will, feeling that he was getting better and that ineptitude was replaced by habit. (3) It happened that the loop of the anchor chain knocked him down, hitting the deck, and then the whole work was a torture that required close attention, but no matter how hard he breathed, with difficulty straightening his back, a smile of contempt did not leave his face. (4) He silently endured ridicule, mockery and the inevitable scolding, until he became in new sphere“his own”, but from that time on he invariably responded with boxing to any insult.
Find a sentence with parallel subordination of subordinate clauses.
- (1) Assol grew up without friends. (2) Two or three dozen children of her age, who lived in Kapern, saturated with a rough family principle, the basis of which was the unshakable authority of mother and father, crossed out once and for all little Assol from the sphere of their patronage and attention. (3) In addition, Longren's secluded lifestyle has now freed the hysterical language of gossip. (4) It was said about the sailor that he killed someone somewhere, because, they say, they no longer take him to serve on ships, and he himself is gloomy and unsociable, because "he is tormented by remorse of a criminal conscience." (5) While playing, the children drove Assol if she approached them, threw mud and teased that her father was making counterfeit money. (6) One after another, her naive attempts at rapprochement ended in bitter weeping, bruises, scratches and other manifestations of public opinion.
- (1) When the spirit of exploration made Gray enter the library, he was struck by a dusty light, the strength and peculiarity of which lay in the colored pattern of the upper part of the window panes. (2) The cupboards were densely packed with books, so that they seemed like walls that contained life in their very thickness. (3) In the reflections of the cabinet glass, other cabinets were visible, covered with colorless shiny spots. (4) A huge globe that stood on round table and was enclosed in a copper spherical equator cross, attracted Gray's attention.
Find a sentence with sequential subordination of subordinate clauses.
- (1) As he turned towards the exit, Gray saw above the door a huge picture, which showed a ship rising on the crest of a sea wall. (2) But the most remarkable thing in this picture was the figure of a man standing on a tank with his back to the viewer. (3) The posture of this man did not actually say anything about what he was doing, but made one assume that his attention was extremely intense. (4) Gray came several times to look at this picture, which captured his imagination, so that it constantly painted pictures of the sea element. (5) The picture became for him that necessary word in the conversation of the soul with life, without which it is difficult to understand oneself and without which it is difficult to realize one's destiny in life. (6) Gray was determined to become a captain.
- (1) Where they sailed, on the left, the shore, on which Kaperna was located, stood out as a wavy thickening of darkness. (2) When they swam very close, Gray heard the barking of dogs that came from the land. (3) The fires of the village looked like a stove door that had been burned through with holes through which a blazing coal was visible. (4) To the right was the ocean, so distinct, as if the presence of a sleeping person was felt and as if he were very close.
- (1) On one of her weekly visits to the toy shop, Assol returned home upset. (2) When she entered, she was so distressed that she could not speak at once. (3) The girl brought her goods back. (4) Only after Assol saw from her father's alarmed face that he was expecting something much worse than reality, she began to tell about what had happened. (5) At the same time, she ran her finger along the glass of the window, at which she stood, absently observing the sea. (6) It turns out that the owner of the toy shop began this time by opening the account book and showing her how much they owe. (7) She shuddered when she saw the impressive three-digit number
