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.
