James Hilton
(1900-1954), was an English novelist who was born in England but spent his later life working in America. He wrote several best-selling novels including Goodbye Mr Chips (1934) and Lost Horizon (1933). Some of his novels have been made into famous films.

3 RNE Read the text and complete tasks 1-7. In each task choose number 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Lost Horizon
Conway never exactly remembered how he and the others arrived at the monastery, or how they were greeted and led into the grounds. The thin air was dream- like and matched the light blue of the sky. With every breath and every glance, he took in a deep, relaxing feeling that made him unaware of Mallinson’s uneasiness, Barnard’s witty comments, and Miss Brinklow, who looked like a lady well prepared for the worst. He just about remembered being surprised at finding the inside of the monastery spacious, well warmed, and quite clean.
There was no time to do more than notice these qualities, for the Chinese had left his hooded chair and was already leading the way through different rooms. He was quite pleasant now. “I must apologise,” he said, “for leaving you to yourselves on the way, but the truth is, journeys of that kind don’t suit me. And I have to take care of myself. I hope you were not too tired?”
“We managed,” replied Conway with a tight smile.
“Excellent. And now, if you will come with me, I will show you to your rooms. No doubt you would like baths. Our accommodation is simple, but comfortable. I hope.”
At this point Barnard, wjo was still affected by shortness of breath, chuckled “Well.” He gasped, “I can’t say I like your climate yet the air seems to stick on my chest a bit – but you’ve certainly got a fine view out of your front windows. Do we all have to line up for the bathroom, or is this an American hotel?”
“I think you will find everything quite satisfactory, Mr Barnard.”
Miss Brinklow nodded. “I should hope so. indeed.”
“And afterwards,” continued the Chinese, “I should be greatly honoured if you will al join me at dinner.”
Conway replied politely. Only Mallinson had given no sign of his attitude in the face of these kind offers. Like Barnard, he had been suffering from breathing problems, but now, with an effort, he found breath to exclaim: “And afterwards, also, if you don’t mind, we’ll make our plans for getting away. The sooner the better, so far as I’m concerned.”

“So you see,” Chang was saying, “we are less barbarian than you expected.”
Conway, later that evening, was not willing to argue. He was enjoying that pleasant feeling of his body being relaxed but his mind being awake, which seemed to him, of all feelings, the most truly ivilized. So far, Shangri-La had been all that he could have wished, certainly more than he could ever have expected. It was not so strange for a Tibetan monastery to have a system of central heating, but that it should combine the baths and cleaning facilities from the Western part of the world with tradition from the Eastern world struck him as amazing and rare. The bath, for instance, in which he had recently bathed, had been of a light green pottery from America. Yet the native servant had washed him in a Chinese way of cleaning his cars and nostrils and under his lower eyelids. He had wondered at the time if – and how – his three companions were receiving similar treatment.
Conway had lived for nearly ten years in China, not wholly h the bigger cities; and he counted it, all things considered, the happiest part of his life. He liked the Chinese, and felt at home with Chinese ways. He really liked Chinese cooking, with its subtle undertones of taste; and his first meal at Shangri-La had been familiar.

Перевод первых двух абзацев:
Конвей никогда точно не помнил, как они с остальными добрались до монастыря и как их встретили и провели на его территорию. Разреженный воздух был словно во сне и совпадал по оттенку со светло-голубым небом. С каждым вдохом и каждым взглядом он ощущал глубокое, успокаивающее чувство, из-за которого он не замечал беспокойства Мэллисона, остроумных замечаний Барнарда и мисс Бринклоу, которая выглядела как дама, готовая к худшему. Он лишь смутно помнил, что удивился, увидев, насколько просторным, тёплым и чистым оказался монастырь внутри.
Не было времени рассмотреть всё подробнее, потому что китаец уже покинул своё кресло с капюшоном и вёл их через разные комнаты. Теперь он был очень приветлив. «Я должен извиниться, — сказал он, — за то, что оставил вас одних по дороге, но, по правде говоря, такие путешествия мне не подходят. И мне нужно заботиться о себе. Надеюсь, вы не слишком устали?»

Dear Tom,
I have just spent my first night at Shangri-La, and I must tell you about it. We were met by a Chinese host who led us through the monastery and showed us our rooms. I also met Barnard, Miss Brinklow, Mallinson, and Conway.
The place is extraordinary. It is warm, clean, and very comfortable, and the view from the windows is wonderful. The people here are polite and calm, though Mallinson is eager to leave at once. Barnard even made jokes about the bathroom, and the host answered very politely.
As for me, I feel surprisingly peaceful here. Everything seems unusual, but pleasant. Shangri-La is unlike any place I have ever seen.
Best wishes,
Hugh
