TAYLOR LAUTNER:
THE TWILIGHT SAGA AND BEYOND
The Twilight Saga’s first film was a commercial success, earning $69
million its opening weekend, and has grossed $392 million worldwide.
Though it was a breakthrough for Taylor Lautner, the director (1) put
forward a proposal to recast the role of Jacob Black for the sequel, The
Twilight Saga: New Moon. The actor was supposed to (2) live on to the
image of “the new, larger Jacob Black”. There was also a significant
change in the role itself: Jacob (3) falls in love with Bella and (4) turns up
a werewolf, which creates a starring role. But Lautner was too much of a
skinny one for that!
Small wonder Taylor (5) made up his mind not to leave the movie.
Nor his determination failed him. An extensive training program helped
him to (6) put up some 30 pounds of muscle. When the “new” Taylor (7)
turned out on the set, the director was stunned and (8) ended up giving
the role back to him. Karate champs never (9) give up, do they?
After the release of New Moon, the tremendous popularity of the
starring trio really (10) took up. All three (11) turned into teen idols. Most
278
teens though (12) look down to Lautner for his new physical characteristics. The trio (13) turned up on many covers and televised appearances
together.
When Taylor Lautner (14) looks back on his younger years, he remembers being bullied in school because he was an actor. But he was
always determined to (15) carry out. Hardly anyone would dare bully
him today! He has got an intricate workout plan, and a specific diet. In
addition, he continues with martial arts regularly. Determined not to
(16) miss out on education, Lautner takes online classes at his local com-
munity college.
Surprisingly so, the actor (17) isn’t up to Hollywood glamour: he enjoys the small-town feel in Valencia, California, where he lives now. He
has got no plans to (18) move on because the town is not as paparazziheavy as other bigger places. In his words, Taylor’s domestic life hasn’t
changed. He still (19) helps down with the garbage and with lawn-mowing. But don’t you ever (20) mess around with a camera in your hands.
We wouldn’t, that’s for sure.

WOMEN AND THE FIRST WORLD WAR
After the outbreak of war in August 1914, as more and more men became involved (11) … an the war effort, many women replaced them at
work. However, most employers differentiated (12) … jobs they thought
