1. Ten minutes later, with face blanched by terror, and eyes wild with grief, Lord Arthur Savile rushed from Bentinck House, crushing his way through the crowd of fur-coated footmen that stood round the large striped awning, and seeming not to see or hear anything. The night was bitter cold, and the gas-lamps round the square flared and flickered in the keen wind; but his hands were hot with fever, and his forehead burned like fire. On and on he went, almost with the gait of a drunken man. A policeman looked curiously at him as he passed, and a beggar, who slouched from an archway to ask for alms, grew frightened, seeing misery greater than his own. Once he stopped under a lamp, and looked at his hands. He thought he could detect the stain of blood already upon them, and a faint cry broke from his trembling lips.
Murder! that is what the cheiromantist had seen there. Murder! The very night seemed to know it, and the desolate wind to howl it in his ear. The dark corners of the streets were full of it. It grinned at him from the roofs of the houses.
First he came to the Park, whose sombre woodland seemed to fascinate him. He leaned wearily up against the railings, cooling his brow against the wet metal, and listening to the tremulous silence of the trees. 'Murder! murder!' he kept repeating, as though iteration could dim the horror of the word. The sound of his own voice made him shudder, yet he almost hoped that Echo might hear him, and wake the slumbering city from its dreams. He felt a mad desire to stop the casual passer-by, and tell him everything.
(from O. Wilde «Lord Arthur Savile's Crime»)
2. It was 2 p. m. on the afternoon of May 7, 1915. The Lusitania had been struck by two torpedoes in succession and was sinking rapidly, while the boats were being launched with all possible speed. The women and children were being lined up awaiting their turn. Some still clung desperately to husbands and fathers; others clutched their children closely to their breasts. One girl stood alone, slightly apart from the rest. She was quite young, not more than eighteen. She did not seem afraid, and her grave, steadfast eyes looked straight ahead.
«I beg your pardon.»
A man's voice beside her made her start and turn. She had noticed the speaker more than once amongst the first-class passengers. There had been a hint of mystery about him which had appealed to her imagination. He spoke to no one. If anyone spoke to him he was quick to rebuff the overture. Also he had a nervous way of looking over his shoulder with a swift, suspicious glance.
She noticed now that he was greatly agitated. There were beads of perspiration on his brow. He was evidently in a state of overmastering fear. And yet he did not strike her as the kind of man who would be afraid to meet death!
(from A. Christie «The Secret Adversary»)

Методические рекомендации по подготовке рефератов
Важнейшая педагогическая задача, на решение которой нацелен процесс написания реферата, – развитие мыслительных способностей студента на основе практического освоения им навыков работы с литературой, а также общих требований к оформлению итогов научного труда.
Тема реферата может быть предложена преподавателем или определена студентом и преподавателем совместно.
Намечается план деятельности студента, определяется порядок работы с научной литературой. Преподаватель рекомендует печатные работы, с которыми необходимо ознакомиться.
После окончания работы с литературными источниками полученный материал обсуждается преподавателем и студентом. На этой основе составляются оглавление реферата и список литературы.
В оглавлении должны быть главы; в каждой главе – параграф; заключение; список литературы. Главам и параграфам даются названия.
Весь наработанный студентами теоретический материал перед написанием реферата должен быть логично распределён по главам и параграфам.
При изложении материала необходимо правильно делать ссылки на литературные источники.
В процессе изложения материала следует избегать «уходов в сторону» от темы реферата, нарушения логической, последовательности в анализе фактов и идей, искажения мыслей автора научного труда.
Если фрагмент текста переписывается в реферативную работу без изменений, т. е. цитируется, он заключается в кавычки, а в конце цитаты обязательно указывается порядковый номер источника в списке литературы и страница печатной работы, где эта мысль сформулирована.
В конце каждой главы желательно сформулировать краткие выводы, выделив основные идеи. А в «Заключении» подвести общие итоги, сформулировать основные выводы, проанализировать степень успешности решения поставленных автором реферата целей и задач, определить перспективы дальнейшей разработки данной темы.
При составлении списка литературы печатные работы располагаются в алфавитном порядке (по фамилии автора).
Тема реферата может быть связана непосредственно с изучаемым по программе учебным материалом, а может выходить за его пределы.
В процессе защиты студент делает небольшой доклад. В нём он отражает основные вопросы, затронутые в работе, её результаты и показывает наиболее убедительные примеры, иллюстрации. Далее желающие обмениваются мнениями.
