II. Test of Reading
Task 1. Прочитайте текст и выберите правильные утверждения. Напишите букву A, B, C на листе для ответов.
On location
Countries around the world have a new way to lure tourists to their shores. The tourist industry has found that visitors are inspired by films they have seen when choosing where to go on holiday.
One country that is certain of the effect of films on tourism is Australia. The Tourist Office of Queensland says that Crocodile Dundee, starring Paul Hogan, made Australia the popular destination it is today. In three years after Crocodile Dundee was released, visitor numbers doubled. Many of new tourists came from the US. «They were fascinated that such a place could exist», says an Australian tourist official.
Scotland's Tourist board are convinced that two films released in 1995, Rob Roy and Braveheart, helped boost the number of visitors. In research undertaken the following year, they discovered that
24
one in every five tourists in Scotland said that one of these films had made them want to go there. «You get Liam Neeson running around in a kilt and suddenly tartan is the in thing», says Morag McAteer, a Scottish hotelier.
But what makes people want to visit the place where a movie was filmed? In many cases the reason is that the film makes audiences aware of the existence of a place.
When the James Bond movie The Man With The Golden Gun was filmed in Phuket, Thailand most Westerners had never heard of it. Today it is a major destination.
Leonardo di Caprio's film The Beach has boosted tourism in another part of Thailand. The film is about the discovery of the most idyllic beach in the world. As a result the Thai authorities are facing a tourist boom in the film's location, Koh Phi Phi.
Some people are influenced by a movie's mood as much as its location, especially if it is a romance. Romantic couples are seen more often at the top of the Empire State building whenever Sleepier in Seattle is screened in the US. Four Weddings and a Funeral has ensured that «The Crown» hotel in Amersham has been busy ever since the movie was first shown. In fact the bedroom where the characters played by Hugh Grant and Andie McDowell spend then first night together is booked for years ahead. «We've lost count of the number of marriage proposals that have been made there», says the hotel management.
It is not just the tourist boards who are happy with the influence of films on a destination. Residents of a rather run-down area of London have seen house prices almost doubled thanks to Julia Robert’s romance with Hugh Grant in Notting Hill. Film stars, such as Madonna, who had previously thought of Notting Hill as a good place for a party now bought property there. Perhaps they hope to revive their romances.

Working fathers
«I don’t want to be the sort of father that I had», says Arnold Redmond, father of two children. 42.___ A recent US survey showed that 93 % of men and women agreed that both parents should share the care of their children.
Some of the issues facing these men are similar to those that faced women thirty years ago, when they started to go out to work. First there is guilt. Women tend to feel guilty about not being around for their children. 43.___ Both also have the uncomfortable feeling
26
that they are breaking the tradition of men working, and women raising families.
Another issue is the attitude of employers. 44.___ Few of the companies that say they give equal opportunities to women are happy when a man wants to be home for his family.
There can also be difficulties at home. While men have been reluctant to give up their role as main wage earner for the family, women have been reluctant to give up then role as main care giver to the children.
But some of the issues these modern men have to face are different from those women faced. 45.___Today men are seen to be taking a step down if they choose to be at home. This is not because it is a step down to change nappies, but because it is a step down to earn less than their partner.
So far the «stay-at-home dad» is only seen in large numbers in the US and UK. 46.___Even when they are walking their children to school, they still think they'll be better off as the managing director.
A.Thirty years ago women were fighting to take a step up.
B.His view is typical of many fathers in America and Britain these days.
C.But many men are still not convinced.
D.Men seem to feel guilty that they are not providing enough.
E.Stay-at-home Dads are happily married to successful career women.
F.Even today, many men and women are expected to behave as if they have no other life than work.
Task 3. Восстановите правильный порядок текста из предложенных ниже частей. Напишите букву A, B, C, D или E на листе для ответов.
A.Baseball was one thing that he felt he was good at. At Northern Kentucky University he became so good that he even tried out for the Cincinatti Reds, and only just failed to be selected as a centre-fielder.
B.Born in Lexington, Kentucky, George Clooney grew up doing commercials for his father's TV show in Cincinnati. Almost every
27
day Nick Clooney and his children made some sort of public appearance. Nick was a strict father to George, and had a strong sense of justice. He once told George off for remaining silent when a classmate was rude to another boy. George also remembers that every Christmas his father would take him to the house of a poor family. George says this made him respect everyone as human beings.
C.His father's words must have echoed many times in George's ears over the next year. For twelve months he tried to get an acting role while he slept on a friend's floor. His first professional job was in a commercial. He arrived at the audition with a six-pack of beer under his arm. “If you watch auditions, the best actor never gets the job,” George said later, “especially in TV. You get the job when you walk in the door. Because in a strange way, we're not selling acting. What we're selling is confidence.”
D.It was inevitable that George would make his way into showbiz. Young George had the role models of his famous uncle and aunt, Jose Ferrer and jazz singer Rosemary Clooney. However it took him a while before he got there. He may have been put off by the large number of banquets and picnics his family went to. George even developed anxieties about eating in public.
E.The lure of the screen proved too strong, however, and George decided to seek a career in acting. In 1982, with casual selfconfidence, he dropped out of college to drive to Los Angeles — a strange choice for a man who confesses that he is terrified of earthquakes. He had 300 dollars in his pocket and was driving a car that had such an unreliable engine he dared not switch it off. “You're never going to survive. You're never going to make it,” said his father.
