The Russian Federation was founded in 1991. The Constitution was adopted in 1993. The Russia Federation is set up by the Constitution of 1993. Under the Constitution Russia is a presidential republic. It is headed by the President. The President is commander-in – chief of the armed forces, the Prime Minister, cabinet members, and key judges. Each of them is checked and balanced by the President. The Russian government consists of three branches: the legislative, the executive and the judicial. The power is distributed in such a way that each branch checks and balances the others.

The legislative power is vested in the Federal Assembly. It consists of Federation Council ( upper house) and the State Duma ( lower house) . The members of the State Duma are elected by popular yote for a four- year period. The Federation Council is not elected. It is formed of the heads of the regions.

EX.2. READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT: THE DIET
As you know my mother is a nurse and she often tells me that the diet in health and disease is very important.
If a person wants to be in good health he must be careful about his diet.
People of physical work need more food than people of mental work.
It is important to know that a diet must consist of proteins carbonhydrates , fats , minerals ,water and vitamins.
All this you can find in fish, meat , liver, kidney , cheese , eggs , milk , sugar , bread , potatoes , butter and nuts.
If you want to be healthy you must use a mixed diet of meat, fats and fruit.

My mother tells me that in a hospital they pay special attention to the diet. In a hospital the doctor usually prescribes the diet for every patient. Any patient with high temperature has a very poor appetite and so a nurse must be very careful. If a patient has high temperature for a long time he becomes very weak and it is very important to give him high caloric diet (food).A careful nurse does a lot to help the patient to become healthy. You can treat many diseases by diet.
