Reading — Task 1. Read the fable and find the correct words to the descriptions 1–5 in the text. Write only ONE word as an answer. Two men were travelling together, when they met a Bear. One of the Travellers climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, he held his breath, and lay still as if he were dead. The Bear thought the Man was dead and soon left him, for bears never touch a dead body. When the Bear was gone, the other Traveller descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. “He gave me this advice,” his companion replied. “Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.” Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends. 1. A woody part of a tree growing from the trunk. 2. A part of an animal’s head projecting forward including the nose and mouth. 3. Move from a higher to a lower place. 4. Mention something privately and confidentially. 5. Quality of being honest, genuine, and open with others.
