  THE ORIGIN OF LONDON’S SUCCESS
  
  
  The fame and fortune of London is based quite simply on its position
  
  along the Thames. 1 _______. Firstly, it offered an ideal route into the
  
  heart of Britain for sea borne trade. Here boats could shelter from storm,
  
  and can take advantage of the tides to float up and down the Thames
  
  2________. The cost of transporting goods by boat before the 19th
  
  Century was considerably cheaper than by land and so the extra miles of
  
  sea transport were valuable.
  
  Secondly, the City was the furthest downstream 3 __________. On the
  
  North Bank there was high ground and although the South Bank was prone
  
  to flood, there were two eyots (islands) of sand and gravel for the approach
  
  road to the first London Bridge across a generally marshy area.
  
  Thirdly, the two hills on the north bank, Comhill and Ludgate offered
  
  an ideal site for a City as it was south facing, well supplied with water, had
  
  good supplies of local building materials, and was above the flood plan.
  
  Once the bridge was put in place 4 ___________in all comers of
  
  Britain headed to London. The combination of a port, bridge and centre of
  
  the road system was a winning combination.
  
  But the history of London shows us that it is not a totally infallible
  
  recipe for success because these geographic advantages count for little if the
  
  country is disunited. For the broad highway that is the Thames has another
  
  face. In times of strife, the Thames becomes 5 ________.
  
  These facts explain much of London’s history. For example in the
  
  prehistoric period the Thames was 6 and although the Thames
  
  was still an important trade route it did not lead to the development of a great
  
  City. 7_______. But in the absence of a unified communications network
  
  no one site had a monopoly of geographic advantages and therefore did not
  
  develop into an international City.
  
  
  Task II. Find words and phrases in the text, which mean the same as the
  
  following
  
  1. make or become united__________
  
  2. a condition or circumstance that puts one in a favourable or superior
  
  position_________
  
  3. make (something needed or wanted) available to someone; provide
  
  4. an area of low-lying land which is flooded in wet seasons or at high
  
  tide, and typically remains waterlogged at all times_______
  
  5. likely or liable to suffer from, do, or experience something unpleasant
