Reading

Task 1. Read the text below. For questions (1-5) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

Glossary: a busker-a person who entertains in a public place.

As you go after a day’s work in the crowded London underground, suddenly you hear music. You take some money out of your pocket and throw it into the open guitar case of the busker. The musicians bring colour and life to the city's underground.

If you have time and look at the wall behind the busker, you will see the names of the musicians on it with a time near each name. Each musician plays for an hour only and those who want to play write their names on the wall.

From time to time the police come to an underground station and the musicians have to go to another place. If the police ask one of the buskers what he is doing, he usually answers that he is just practising. If the police ask about the money in the guitar case, the musician answers that it fell out of his pocket into his guitar case.

An American girl on a visit to London said that she liked busking; and often played in an underground station where there were many buskers. Some of them played quite close together, but one important rule is that you mustn't stand very close to another musician because people will hear two musicians at the same time.

Why do musicians want to play in the street? Some musicians do it for money, some do it for pleasure. Others say it's a good place to practise because they can't play at home.

1. What does a busker do?   [A, B, C, D]

A A busker sells newspapers in the underground.

B A busker plays a musical instrument.

C A busker takes photos.

D A busker sells baskets.

2. How long does each busker play?   [A, B, C, D]

A From dusk to dawn.

B For a limited period of time.

C As long as he likes.

D For hours.

3. What do buskers usually write the walls on?   [A, B, C, D]

A Their names and the place where they are going to play.

B The names of musicians famous all over the world.

C Their names and the time when they are going to play.

D Their programme.

4. What is the police attitude to the buskers?   [A, B, C, D]

A The police make buskers go to another place.

B The police make buskers pay some money.

C The police listen to music and put some money into the busker's guitar case.

D The police take the buskers to prison.

5. What mustn't the busker do in the street while playing music?   [A, B, C, D]

A The busker mustn't play modern music.

B The busker mustn't play two musical instruments.

C The busker mustn't stand close to another busker.

D The busker mustn't play in an underground station.

1.   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]New Years Eve, December 31, is more important to Americans than New Year s Day itself.

Task 3. Read the text below. Choose from (A-H) the one which best fits each space (1-6). There are two choices you do not need to use.

In the 1930s, when radio was still in its infancy, broadcasting stations in the USA wondered what type of programmes they should put on during the daytime. They came up with the idea of producing serials that would be on the radio every afternoon telling a continuous story. To keep the listeners interest,(1)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]. Knowing that the majority of the audience would be women, the broadcasters decided that the women in the serials would be strong characters and the men weak. The serials were an instant success with listeners. As the radio stations were paid for by advertising, these programmes always carried advertisements and, since one of the most frequently advertised products was soap, the programmes became known as Soaps or Soap Operas.

(2)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]that the soap opera appeared in Britain. The BBC had no interest in producing this type

of programme but during the Second World War it was thought that the Americans should be shown how well the British people were standing up to the war. For this reason, (3)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]. It was called Front Line Family and showed how a typical English family, the Robinsons, was living during the war. (4)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H] and asked for it to be broadcast for the British audience. The BBC were unwilling to do this but finally agreed and broadcast the programme in Britain, but changed the name to The Robinsons. The programme ran for six years.

Other soaps were introduced later, one telling the life of a doctor's family and another, The Archers, about life in a country village. The original aim of The Archers was to inform farmers of new developments in agriculture. The serial began in 1951 and is still to be heard on five evenings every week.

Some attempts at soap opera began to appear on television in Britain in the mid-1950s, but it was not until 1961 that the first real soap opera appeared. This was shown not by the BBC, (5)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H].

The serial, called Coronation Street was about the lives of people living in a working-class street near Manchester. Although the serial was planned to run for only thirteen weeks, it is still to be seen several nights every week and almost every week (6)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H].

The BBC never managed to produce a really successful soap opera until 1984, when it introduced Eastenders. This programme is about life in the area of the east end of London. For a time it had more viewers than Coronation Street and still rivals it as the most popular programme on the British television. There is a major difference between the two programmes, Eastenders concentrates on rather depressing realism whilst Coronation Street, although having serious storylines, always contains a strong element of comedy.

A but by commercial television

B there would be far more crisis happening than in real life

C Some people in Britain managed to hear the programme

D It was really by chance

E has more viewers than any other programme on British television

F a soap opera was written for the North American service of the BBC

G the most popular programme on television

H never been shown on TV
