Read the text and choose the correct answer I grew up in India, where the mango is known as ‘the King of Fruits’. Mangoes always bring back happy childhood memories because all graduations from school or college were marked by a mango and ice cream party, and all the family would be asked round for a celebration. It was customary to serve up two different varieties of mango. The sweeter, yellow-skinned fruits were my favourite, whereas my sisters preferred the green-skinned ones that had a sharper taste. We usually wore flowing white dresses called ‘sarees’ on these occasions and had white jasmine flowers in our hair. The mango was either peeled and cut into neat chunks to go with the ice cream, or it was cut into long thin slices with the skin still attached. I wasn’t very keen on the ice cream, actually, and liked to eat my mango in the old-fashioned way, pulling the flesh away from the skin with my teeth. Even now, that’s how I eat them. There was one problem with this method, however. Good ripe mangoes are full of juice, and so I often remember spraying my white saree with juice.

Bank of America, New York.
This is probably one of the greenest buildings in the world. The 54-storey building was built to use natural daylight for as long as possible. It also has solar panels, rainwater collectors, and materials for the construction of the building itself are made from recycled waste from New York.

Bank of America, Нью-Йорк.
Это, вероятно, одно из самых "зеленых" зданий в мире. 54-этажное здание было построено таким образом, чтобы использовать естественный дневной свет как можно дольше. Так же здесь установлены панели солнечных батарей, сборники дождевой воды, а материалы для конструкции самого здания сделаны из переработанных отходов Нью-Йорка
My favorite media are newspapers. I often read them when I have free time. They are very affordable and varied these days. Quite interesting articles and news are often found there. I also like to solve crosswords that are on the back pages of newspapers. This is a good way to pass the time.
