Mrs. Palmer was very fond of singing. She had a good voice, except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate which someone had forgotten to oil. Mrs. Palmer was very conscious of this weakness, and took every opportunity she could find to practice these high notes. As she lived in a small house, where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was sensitive about those high notes.

One afternoon, however, a fast, open car came up behind her silently. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult notes at the time, and as the car passed her, she saw an anxious expression suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to examine all tyres carefully.

Mrs. Palmer did not dare to tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car and drove off as puzzled as he had been when he had stopped.

Appreciation of sculpture depends upon the ability to respond to form in three dimensions. That is, perhaps, why sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts: certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve appreciation of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are “form-blind” than colour-blind. The child learning to see first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances or depths.

Later, for its personal safety and practical needs, it has to develop (partly by means of touch) the ability to judge roughly three-dimensional distances. But having satisfied the requirements of practical necessity most people go no further. They do not make the intellectual and emotional effort needed to comprehend form in its full spatial existence.

The sculptor mentally visualizes a complex form from all round itself: he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like; he identifies himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; he realizes its volume; as the space which the shape displaces in the air.

1. Why has sculpture been described as “the most difficult” of all arts?

a) Because most people appreciate form in its full spatial existence

b) Because the child identifies itself with the centre of gravity

c) Because some sculptors are “form-blind”

d) Not all people can respond to form in 3 dimensions

1. What is the difference between the child’s and the sculptor’s ability to respond to form in 3 dimensions?

a) The sculptor responds to form in 3 dimensions for his personal safety

b) The child judges three-dimensional distances only for practical needs

c) The sculptor is “form-blind”

d) The child mentally visualizes a complex form

1. Which statement is not true?

a) The child doesn’t learn to perceive form.

b) The child develops its ability to respond to form.

c) Most people seldom make further efforts to comprehend form.

d) People learn to comprehend form partly by means of touch.

1. It follows from the text that…

a. many sculptors are colour-blind

I went to the cinema last week and laughed all the way through the new film "Waiter!" which is set in a restaurant. American actor Tom Waters plays the worst cook the world has ever seen, and he employs one of the worst waiters, played by Joe Vermont.

The London restaurant where the filming took place actually does exist. Jane Connors, the owner, runs a suc­cessful business with many regular customers. However, although she thinks "Waiter!" is a good film, she is very annoyed with the director. When she agreed to the film­ing, she wasn't told that the film is about a restaurant where everything goes wrong and the food is disgusting. Although the film might make Jane's restaurant famous if it is a success, she is afraid that people will stop coming because they will think the food and the service are ter­rible like it is in the film. Jane is worried she will lose business and may even have to close and start again with a new restaurant.

Having seen the film, I agree that she has a problem. The film company paid her a very small fee, and she has since asked for more. The best solution for her is to contact the newspapers. I am sure they will be interested in her story and it will actually help her business in the end.

1. What is the writer trying to do in the text?

a) advertise a restaurant b) review a film

c) explain someone's problem d) take someone's advice

2. What do we learn about Jane's restaurant?

a) It is very popular b) The food is not good

c) It is in a beautiful building d) The waiters are unhelpful

3. What did the director not tell Jane?

a) that the film would be a success b) that the restaurant in the film would be very bad

c) that she would not be paid d) that she would need to employ more people

4. Why is Jane annoyed with the director?

e) because she didn't like the film

f) because she is afraid to lose her customers

c) because the director didn't ask her permission to do the filming

d) because the film is a great success

1. Прочитайте текст и выберите единственно правильный вариант из ниже предложенных вопросов.

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 practicing. 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 practice because they can’t play at home.

1. A busker …

a) sells newspapers in the underground b) plays a musical instrument c) takes photos

2. On the walls buskers usually write …

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

3. The police …

a) make buskers go to another place b) make them pay some money

c) listen to music and put some money into the busker’s guitar case

4. Each busker plays …

a) from dusk to dawn b) for a limited period of time c) as long as he likes

 

5. The busker mustn’t …
