III. READING
Task 1. Read the passage and write the answer True or False. (2,5 points)
Modem cinema audiences expect to see plenty of thrilling scenes in actions films. These scenes, which are known as “stunts”, are usually performed by stuntmen who are specially trained to do dangerous things safely. Anyone can crash a car, but if you are shooting a film, you have to be extremely precise, sometimes stopping right in front of the camera and the film crew.
At an early stage of the production, an expert stuntman is called in to work out the action scenes and form a team. He is the only person who can go against the wishes of the director although he will usually only do this in the interests of safety.
Many famous actors like to do the dangerous parts themselves, which produces better shots, since stuntmen don’t have to work in for the actors. Actors like to become involved in all the important aspects of the characters they are playing, but without the recent progress in safety equipment, insurance companies would never let them take the risk. To do their own stunts, actors need to be good athletes, but they must also be sensible and know their limits. If they were to be hurt, the film would come to a sudden halt.
1. “Stunts” are risky and breath-taking scenes in action films.
2. All the stunts are performed by sophisticated stuntmen.
3 A stuntman has a duty to follow all the instructions from the director in action scenes.
4. Insurance companies aren’t willing to let famous actors perform stunts without safety equipment.
5. If an actor were to be hurt, the film would continue with a stuntman replacing him.
Task 2. Read the text and complete the summary with ONE or TWO WORDS/ NUMBERS ONLY.
Gliders in the storm
In February 2007, Ewa Wiśnierska, a German paraglider, was in Australia with other paragliders preparing for the World Championships. One morning, as they were getting ready to take off, they noticed a thunderstorm approaching. However, they decided to carry on. As the best paragliders, they were skilful enough to keep away from some dark clouds. Unfortunately, as the competitors took off, the weather quickly got worse. Despite Ewa's attempt to escape, two enormous clouds came together and trapped her. They pulled her up inside the storm like a leaf in the wind. She flew higher and higher. "It was dark and I could hear lightning all around me." She reached nearly 10,000 m, higher than the top of Mount Everest, and then lost consciousness. At that height, the temperature was about -40°C and there was very little oxygen. Death seemed certain. For forty minutes, Ewa was unconscious. Waking up, she was still inside the storm. It was dark, and hailstones as big as tennis balls were flying past. But fortunately, her glider, which was spinning above her head, was still in one piece. Eventually, Ewa came out of the storm cloud and landed safely near a small farm. When her team reached her, she was 60 km away from the place where she took off. She was weak and covered in ice - but alive! Ewa was the luckiest woman in the world. There's no logical reason why she survived. Ewa had frostbite on her ears and legs, but a few days later, she competed in the World Championships.
Summary:
A German paraglider named Ewa Wiśnierska was stuck in a (1) in Australia while she was preparing for the World Championships. The clouds pulled her higher until she reached nearly (2), then lost (3). It was extremely cold and dark when she woke up. However, her (4) was unharmed. Eventually, Ewa came out of the storm cloud and landed safely near a small farm. Ewa was the luckiest woman in the world. Although Ewa had (5) on her ears and legs, she competed in the World Championships a few days later.

My city has been changing since the municipal authority had a plan to renovate the canal systems.

Many ramshackle shacks were built to be shelters of the impoverished working families migrating to this city to earn their living. Household wastes were directly dumped into the canal, resulting in the very contaminated environment. It was said that the very unpleasant smell releasing from the canal was unable to be eliminated, and the living condition there would not be better. However, thanks to the advanced technology and methods as well as the city authority’s effort, everything has been changing. There is no longer the disgusting smell or shabby houses along both sides of the canal. Instead, the road running parallel to the canal is now full of shade of greenery and the water now is so clean that it is a friendly habitat for a variety of fish. The residents now can walk or do morning exercise on the sidewalks along the banks to enjoy the fresh atmosphere. Former inhabitants are also relocated in new apartments with much better living conditions than before. The canal creates not only a beautiful urban landscape, but also brings a lot of economic benefits to local dwellers. Because of its reformation, the city is changing fast too.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s was the only-surviving son of Leopold and Maria Pertl Mozart. Leopold was a successful composer, violinist, and assistant concert master at the Salzburg court. Wolfgang's mother, a constantly ill housewife, was born to a middle class family of local community leaders. His only sister was Maria Anna. With their father’s encouragement and guidance, they both were introduced to music at an early age. Leopold started Anna on keyboard when she was seven, as three-year old Wolfgang looked on. Mimicking her playing, Wolfgang quickly began to show a strong understanding of chords, tonality, and tempo. Soon, he too was being tutored by his father.
Leopold was a devoted and task-oriented teacher to both his children. He made the lessons fun, but also insisted on a strong work ethic and perfection. Fortunately, both children excelled well in these areas. Recognising their special talents, Leopold devoted much of his time to their education in music as well as other subjects. Wolfgang soon showed signs of excelling beyond his father's teachings with an early composition at age five and demonstrating outstanding ability on harpsichord and the violin. He would soon go on to play the piano, organ and viola.
