Cry-baby

It was almost midnight before they got around to giving the Oscars to the really well-known personalities. At first a series of guest stars had awarded the prizes: to the best designer, to the best special-effects man, for the best technical invention for motion pictures during the year, and to all the other people, so unknown outside the industry, but so significant within it.
I looked around the theatre, recognizing most of the weighty faces in the business, but not caring much. You see, I was pretty nervous. Myra Caldwell, whom I had brought to the ceremony, was sitting there beside me, and right across the aisle was Joan Weyland. Now, to get the picture properly, you have to remember that during that particular year Myra had played the sensational supporting role in The Devil Loses and had been called the greatest find in the history of pictures. But that was the same year that Joan Weyland had stolen a big picture called Calumet Centre right out from under the nose of one of the most famous female stars in the industry. The only other actress nominated was not given much chance. Now in a few minutes, they were going to announce who had won the Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress of the year. It was the hottest Contest and everybody was aware of it. Furthermore, it was no secret that the two leading contestants would be delighted to boil each other in oil — win, lose, or draw. And here they were across the aisle from each other. Do you get why I was nervous?
Then the lights went down. They were going to run short scenes from the pictures for which the actors and actresses had been nominated. The supporting-actress pictures were coming on, and here was Joan Weyland in her grand scene from Calumet Centre. The audience started to applaud as soon as they saw her.
After that they ran a short episode from Whirlwind, showing the other nominee, a refugee actress called Tanya Braden. I had never seen the picture of the actress, and the picture hadn’t made much money, but there was no doubt she could act! She played the star’s mother and she made you believe it.
Then they ran Myra’s big moment in The Devil Loses. After it was over, I tried to guess who had the biggest chance.
“I think I won,” Myra said to me.
The lights went up. The old actor, who had won the Supporting Actor award the year before, came through the curtains and prepared to present the award. I didn’t see how I was going to live through the next few minutes. He got the envelope and began opening it very slowly.
He was loving every second of it, the old man. Then he looked at the little piece of paper.
“The Winner,” he said, then paused again, “is Miss Tanya Braden, for her performance in Whirlwind.”
Well, I’m not too sure about the sequence of events that followed. I don’t remember the applause, because Joan let out a loud cry from across the aisle that drowned out everything else. Then Myra started to cry. I don’t mean cry like the ordinary person, but I mean cry so that the building shook.
Then Joan jumped to her feet and started out, and her mother accompanied her. But I couldn’t do anything with Myra. The show was interrupted and the whole theatre was staring at her. I picked her up and carried her out.
It wasn’t a very pleasant performance, but I think there is some excuse. After all, Joan is 8 years old, and Myra is only 6, and she isn’t used to being up so late. I’m a little on her side anyway. And why not? I’m her father.

1. Controlling skies
2. Lack of safety
3. Bicycle is faster
4. Office at home

1. Blocked roads
2. Paid roads
3. Improving railways
4. Buses instead of cars

A.        The world’s first public passenger railway was built in Great Britain in 1826 and
ran between the industrial north-eastern towns of Stockton and Darlington. After
180 years’ experience the British say that their trains still don’t seem to run
efficiently or even safely. On average, about 500 accidents with broken rail tracks
happen in the country every year.

B.        The British government is promising to give £33.5 billion to modernise the
railways before 2010. Another £30 billion is to come from the private sector. The
main target is to increase safety and speed. For example, new London-to-Scotland
high-speed trains significantly reduce journey times and in 2004 a warning system
was installed throughout the country.

C.        Statistics show that only 12% of all journeys made in Britain are by public
transport. The remaining 88% are made by car. Every year British people spend
about two weeks travelling to and from work including nine days in their own
cars. But anyone will say this isn’t a quick and easy way to travel. In fact, a
journey from London to Manchester frequently takes seven hours. A cyclist could
get there quicker.

D.        Every year there are about half a million traffic jams in Britain. That is nearly
10,000 a week. There are hundreds of big traffic jams every day. According to
the forecast, the number of jams will grow by 20 per cent over the next ten years.
Nearly a quarter British people find themselves in a jam every day and 55 per
cent at least once a week.

E.        Nowadays many British people take their children to school by car. Twenty years
ago, nearly one in three primary school children made their own way to school.
Now only one child in nine makes their own way. During the school year at 08:50
a.m. one car in five on the roads in any British town is taking children to school.
The solution could be special school buses widely used in the USA.

F.        Many scientists hope that new technologies allowing more people to work at home
may help with traffic problems. Fewer people will work from 9 to 5 and travel to
and from work during the rush hour. But only 15% of people now want to spend
more time working at home. The workplace is, for many people, a place to meet
other people and to talk to them, so they would miss it if they worked from home.

G. In 1903, the Wright brothers made the first aeroplane flight. It only lasted 12 seconds but changed the world forever. A century later, air travel is no longer a miracle, it is part of everyday life. One billion air passengers now fly every year — that’s equivalent to a sixth of the world’s population. To make sure everything runs smoothly, there are special air traffic control centres in each country which watch every aeroplane.

   Buses instead of cars

A. The
world’s first public passenger railway was built in Great Britain in
1826 and

ran between the industrial north-eastern towns of
Stockton and Darlington. After

180 years’ experience the
British say that their trains still don’t seem to run

efficiently
or even safely. On average, about 500
accidents
with broken rail tracks

happen in the country every year.

B. The
British government is promising to give £33.5 billion to modernise
the

railways before 2010. Another £30 billion is to come from
the private sector. The

main target is to increase safety and
speed. For example, new London-to-Scotland

high-speed trains
significantly reduce journey times and in 2004 a warning system

was
installed throughout the country.

C. Statistics
show that only 12% of all journeys made in Britain are by
public

transport. The remaining 88% are made by car. Every year
British people spend

about two weeks travelling to and from
work including nine days in their own

cars. But anyone will say
this isn’t a quick and easy way to travel. In fact, a

journey
from London to Manchester frequently takes seven hours. A cyclist
could

get there quicker.

D. Every
year there are about half a million traffic jams in Britain. That is
nearly

10,000 a week. There are hundreds of big traffic jams
every day. According to

the forecast, the number of jams will
grow by 20 per cent over the next ten years.

Nearly a quarter
British people find themselves in a jam every day and 55 per

cent
at least once a week.

E. Nowadays
many British people take their children to school by car. Twenty
years

ago, nearly one in three primary school children made
their own way to school.

Now only one child in nine makes their
own way. During the school year at 08:50

a.m. one car in five
on the roads in any British town is taking children to school.

The
solution could be special school buses widely used in the USA.

F. Many
scientists hope that new technologies allowing more people to work
at home

may help with traffic problems. Fewer people will work
from 9 to 5 and travel to

and from work during the rush hour.
But only 15% of people now want to spend

more time working at
home. The workplace is, for many people, a place to meet

other
people and to talk to them, so they would miss it if they worked
from home.

G.
In 1903, the Wright brothers made the first aeroplane flight. It
only lasted 12 seconds but changed the world forever. A century
later, air travel is no longer a miracle, it is part of everyday
life. One billion air passengers now fly every year — that’s
equivalent to a sixth of the world’s population. To make sure
everything runs smoothly, there are special air traffic control
centres in each country which watch every aeroplane.

Elephants
sense ‘danger’ clothes

St
Andrews University researchers discovered that elephants could
recognise the degree of danger posed by various groups of
individuals,

The
study found that African elephants always
reacted with fear

A
previously worn by men of the Maasai tribe. They are

known
to demonstrate their courage by В
.

The
elephants also responded aggressively to red clothing, which defines
traditional Maasai dress.

However,
the elephants showed a much milder reaction to clothing previously
worn

by the Kamba people, С and
pose little threat.

The
researchers first presented elephants with clean, red clothing and
with red

clothing that had been worn for five days by D .

They
revealed that Maasai-smelt clothing motivated elephants to travel
significantly faster in the first minute after they moved away.

They
then investigated whether elephants could also use the colour of
clothing as a cue to classify a potential threat and found the
elephants reacted with aggression

E .
This suggested that they associated the colour red with

the
Maasai.

The
researchers believe the distinction in the elephants’ emotional
reaction to smell

and
colour might be explained by F . They might be able

to
distinguish among different human groups according to the level of
risk they posed.

«We
regard this experiment as just a start to investigating precisely
how elephants ‘see the world’, and it may be that their abilities
will turn out to equal or exceed those of our closer relatives, the
monkeys and apes,» researchers added.

1. either
   a Maasai or a Kamba man

2. who
   do not hunt elephants

3. when
   they detected the smell of clothes

4. who
   carried out the research

5. the
   amount of risk they sense

6. spearing
   elephants

7. when
   they spotted red but not white cloth

Cry-baby

It
was almost midnight before they got around to giving the Oscars to
the really well-known personalities. At first a series of guest
stars had awarded the prizes: to the best designer, to the best
special-effects man, for the best technical invention for motion
pictures during the year, and to all the other people, so unknown
outside the industry, but so significant within it.

I
looked around the theatre, recognizing most of the weighty faces in
the business, but not caring much. You see, I was pretty nervous.
Myra Caldwell, whom I had brought to the ceremony, was sitting there
beside me, and right across the aisle was Joan Weyland. Now, to get
the picture properly, you have to remember that during that
particular year Myra had played the sensational supporting role in
The
Devil Loses and
had been called the greatest find in the history of pictures. But
that was the same year that Joan Weyland had stolen a big picture
called Calumet
Centre right
out from under the nose of one of the most famous female stars in
the industry. The only other actress nominated was not given much
chance. Now in a few minutes, they were going to announce who had
won the Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress of the year. It was
the hottest Contest and everybody was aware of it. Furthermore, it
was no secret that the two leading contestants would be delighted to
boil each other in oil — win, lose, or draw. And here they were
across the aisle from each other. Do you get why I was nervous?

Then
the lights went down. They were going to run short scenes from the
pictures for which the actors and actresses had been nominated. The
supporting-actress pictures were coming on, and here was Joan
Weyland in her grand scene from Calumet
Centre. The
audience started to applaud as soon as they saw her.

After
that they ran a short episode from Whirlwind,
showing
the other nominee, a refugee actress called Tanya Braden. I had
never seen the picture of the actress, and the picture hadn’t made
much money, but there was no doubt she could act! She played the
star’s mother and she made you believe it.

Then
they ran Myra’s big moment in The
Devil Loses. After
it was over, I tried to guess who had the biggest chance.

«I
think I won,» Myra said to me.

The
lights went up. The old actor, who had won the Supporting Actor
award the year before, came through the curtains and prepared to
present the award. I didn’t see how I was going to live through the
next few minutes. He got the envelope and began opening it very
slowly.

He
was loving every second of it, the old man. Then he looked at the
little piece of paper.

«The
Winner,» he said, then paused again, «is Miss Tanya
Braden, for her performance in Whirlwind.»

Well,
I’m not too sure about the sequence of events that followed. I don’t
remember the applause, because Joan let out a loud cry from across
the aisle that drowned out everything else. Then Myra started to
cry. I don’t mean cry like the ordinary person, but I mean cry so
that the building shook.

Then
Joan jumped to her feet and started out, and her mother accompanied
her. But I couldn’t do anything with Myra. The show was interrupted
and the whole theatre was staring at her. I picked her up and
carried her out.

It
wasn’t a very pleasant performance, but I think there is some
excuse. After all, Joan is 8 years old, and Myra is only 6, and she
isn’t used to being up so late. I’m a little on her side anyway. And
why not? I’m
her father.

At
the beginning of the Oscar ceremony prizes were awarded

1. to
   the most famous stars among the winners.

   the best director.

   the best film.

   the secondary members of shooting crews.

Weyland and Myra Caldwell were present at the ceremony because they

2. had
   been nominated as two of the Best Supporting Actresses of the year.

3. wanted
   to see the well-known personalities of the film industry.

The
narrator describes the relations between Joan and Myra as

1. friendship.

2. rivalry.

3. sympathy.

4. partnership.

because she

   very beautiful.

3. was
   a well-known actress.
