ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ 1

“Alaska”

Alaska is a place of contrasts. Most of Alaska is still a wild frontier, yet you can also find skyscraper apartment houses. An Eskimo puts out to sea in a whaleskin boat, but the boat may be powered by an outdoor motor. And a dog team pulls a sled over snow and ice – hurrying to a modern airport. Alaska is not all snow and ice, however, even in winter. And in summer, the temperature in Fairbanks sometimes soars to 100 degrees F. Here truck gardens grow strawberries as big as plums, and the shining until late evening – can give you a sunburn.
The most northerly point in U. S. is Point Barrow. Here from May through July, you can fish all night by the light of the midnight sun.
Alaska is big – twice as big as Texas. North America’s highest mountain is in Alaska - Mt. McKinley. Malaspina Glacier is as big as Rhode Island. And there is a volkano with a crater six miles across. This volcano Aniakchak, is near the valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Steam and smoke puffing from creates all over this strange valley make it look like some giant’s kitchen.
Salmon fishing is the most important industry, but gold is what comes to mind when most people think of Alaska. With the discovery of gold in the late 1800s prospectors poised into Alaska’s wilderness. Many of them settled there.
Today Alaska produces more platinum that any other state. Alaskans cut timber for their pump mills, pump oil from under the sea, and produce many beautiful furs.

ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ 2.

“Anchorage”.

Anchorage or “Los Anchorage”, as some rural residents call it, is “big city” Alaska. Hardly isolated, Anchorage boasts two daily newspapers, semi-professional baseball and basketball teams, frequent performances by internationally known orchestras and pop stars, dramatic theater, light opera, and the busiest fast-food joints in the north.
Only 80 years ago, Anchorage was a wilderness area. The city grew up around its railroads in 1914, and has since seen a steady flow of trains, pioneers, and oil. Anchorage remains the state’s center of commerce. Each year its international airport hosts millions of passengers, who drop by en route to East Asia after hours of flying over unsettled wilderness and ocean. Perhaps the most remarkable fact about Anchorage is that everything – the glass and steel of the buildings, the food and merchandise of the well- stocked supermarkets and department stores – arrives here the same way people do: via a tortuous 1500-mile road an expensive air journey, or by barge or container ship across one of the roughest seas in the world.
Watching over Anchorage from Cook Inlet is Mount Susitna, known to locals as the Sleeping Lady. For a fabulous view of the lady, as well as the rest of the mountains that from the magnificent backdrop for Anchorage’s ever-growing skyline, drive out to Earthquakes Park. The park was ones of fashionable neighborhood, but now recalls the disastrous effects of the Good Friday earthquake in 1964, a day Alaskans refer to as Black Friday. Registering at 8,6 on the former Richter Scale (9,2 on the current scale), it is the strongest earthquake ever recorded in North America.
While downtown, stop in at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art. The museum is features permanent exhibits of Alaskan native artifacts and art, as well as Thursday night Alaska wilderness film series (7 pm). To get a sense of the impact of Alaska’s oil wealth, admire the museum’s 93,000 – square-foot building. Wildlife displace including more than 20 animal mounts are housed in the Alaska Wildlife and Natural History Museum. Inside, gaze at the immensity of a lily-white, taxidermic polar bear. The free hourly movie Animals and a Pipeline captures some astonishing wildlife footage, all of which was taken within a few hundred years of the Alaskan pipeline.
To see real honest-to-goodness Alaskan wildlife, visit the Alaska Zoo. Say hi to Binky the bear and other orphaned Alaskan fauns.
No less spectacular is the Alaska Experience Theater, where brown bears and native dances come alive on the inner surface of a hemispherical dome.

ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ 3.

Alaska’s Capital City.

Juneau, Alaska’s capital is the largest city in the region. It has about 29,000 residents. Juneau and its sister city of Douglas across Gastineau Channel stretch along the shore at the foot of mountains. Mendenhall Glacier, about 12 miles from town, is the only glacier in Southeast Alaska that can be reached by car.
The city started with gold mining in1880. Later it was a stop-off for stampeders headed to Skagway for the Klondike Gold Rush. Now government and tourism are the main employers.
Sins Juneau is the capital for Alaska, it is called “the seat of government.” The elected head of Alaska, the governor, has offices and a home in Juneau.
Certain other Alaskans from all regions of the state are elected to travel to Juneau in the winter and spring. These people from the legislature, or the group that makes laws for the state. Using satellite television, faxes, computers, and other modern communications, these legislators keep a balance so there are jobs and the environment is safe at the same time.

ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ 4.

How the Fish Came into the Sea.

After Raven bring daylight to all the people he keep workin’ north, lookin’ around, he keep going up, up north. And he see something big, big just like a scow way out on the sea, like a floating box, and he ask: “What is it out there?” - “That’s a tank. All different kinds of fish in there. They try to keep them in there so there’s no fish going around this ocean.” – Well, he’s thinkin’ about it, how he’s gonna get it.
Raven send that black and white bird with the long tale - the magpie - to go up and cut a can for him, and he fix it like octopus finger, he carve it like two tentacles of the octopus. He’s gonna try to drag in that big scow with it, no matter how far off a thing is, that octopus finger can will always reach it.
In the evening Raven got all the peoples together and they beat drums. He hold the can in his hands and move it around, going up, going down, going around, testing it. All right. That woman said she’s satisfied with it. Then he get all the peoples down on the beach and they begin to sing, and he start to hook it, he tried to pull that thing ashore. And he tried again. “OOOH, OOOH, OOOH, OH, OH!” Saying to the people: “Sing stronger all the time” and he tried again.
And he begin to draw it in to shore little by little. Finally he pull it onto the beach and he jump inside, and he open each door. He open the doors for smelts (fish, small fish) and the smelts comes out from that tank. After that herrings, and oolichons, and out of the other sides, king salmon first, and humpies, and coho, and later on the one they call the fall fish, dog salmon, and last comes the ones that stop, the halibut and flounders and cod, and he pushed them out.
See, just the way he opened the doors, is just the way they come every year. No mistake on it. And Raven is satisfied, he released all that fish to go around this world.
