When you return home after a hard day's work and get off the subway train, you sometimes have to walk for a long time to the exit or change trains. Suddenly, there is some music in the noise. These are street musicians. You take a coin out of your pocket and drop it into your hat or tool case. These musicians bring color and life to the city streets. Street musicians are people between the ages of 17 and 30. Some of them are men, some are women. They play classical music, pop or folk music, old and new songs. Many musicians are former University students or professional musicians. Andrew Hayne, for example, once studied music, but dropped out and became an artist. Now he's playing underground because he doesn't want to forget how to play. His girlfriend is also an artist. She helps him raise money. Another street musician, David Mcnell, tells new players “ " Learn new songs all the time, otherwise you will have fewer and fewer listeners. Wear bright clothing to attract attention. Make sure that the places where you decide to play are warm. The best places are bridges and, of course, the metro.” Hyde Park is the best place on Sundays, as speakers address the public. Street musicians do business with the many tourists who visit the Park. Weather is one of the most serious problems. It's not easy to play the violin or guitar on a rainy November day in London and try to smile. The police are a much worse problem. They come in from time to time and the musicians are moved to another place. However, they are not often fined. One musician told me: "The policeman asked me what I was doing. I said I was just practicing. Some money just fell out of my pocket into a guitar case and I was told to leave my seat. I don't think it's fair

The London TubeHave you ever wondered what strange things lurk within the London Underground (or "Tube") system? The first things people usually think of are the mice that you can occasionally see running along the tracks. (run)
In tact, mice arent the only strange things in the Underground system. Passengers leave behind thousands of objects. Items that were once theirs now reside in London Transport's lost property office. (they)
The collection is not open to the public, but a wedding dress, sets of false teeth, artificial limbs and a metre -high Mickey Mouse statue are just some of things people could see if they visited the office. Objects that are left in the office for more than three months are donated to charity or sold at auction. (leave)

Found money
Shelley was reading an article about some money a builder had found in an old house. He'd gone to the police with $64,000. She asked her friend Paul what he would do if he found a large amount of money. (find)
"Oh, the same thing he did", Paul didn't hesitate to respond. "It's not right to keep that kind of money. It's not just $20, you know." (not hesitate)
Shelley thought about it for several moments. She couldn't help wondering how the police would know whose money it was. (who)
"Apparently", she said, reading the article further, "if nobody claims the money after a certain period of time, the police RETURNS???/слово не даноб но в любом случае оно должно быть в простом настоящем(present simple) it back to the builder". She wondered whether the builder would be lucky on this occasion.
