Universal Studios Hollywood — a place for fun, entertainment, and even history — is taking its first steps in a 25-year plan to expand the park. The new outline envisions an incredible growth of the amusement facilities as well as the development of a resi- dential neighbourhood in the area. This environmentally friendly living area is just another feather in the cap of this amazing park of wonder.

Originally known as Universal City, Universal Studios Hollywood was founded in 1915 by Carl Laemmle. It was the first studio to offer tours where audiences could watch films in production. Since then, Universal Studios has grown to include theme parks, restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, and much more. This park proved to be so popular that Universal Studios Florida opened in 1990, and last year, Universal Studios Japan (Osaka) celebrated its fifth birthday.

With so much past success from growth, it’s no wonder that Universal is excited about its latest plans for expansion. Previous plans were scrapped due to complex zon- ing and environmental regulations. Now, they are ready to move ahead in full force.

While many new attractions are in the works for the new expansion, Universal will preserve some of its old attractions, such as the Bates Mansion from the film Psycho and the mechanical shark from Jaws. These attractions offer a historical perspective of the film industry. Preserving them illustrates the advance in film production tech- niques over the years. In addition to safeguarding the past, plenty of new high-tech soundstages, rides, and theaters are in the works. In May, Citywalk, a shopping, din- ing, and entertainment facility, began remodeling. Spring also saw the opening of Sky- Venture Hollywood, an attraction where visitors can float 40 feet into the air on 125 mph winds. Not bad for a studio once called, “The strangest place on Earth.”

1.As a result of the popularity of Universal Studios, ... .

A other parks and facilities were opened

B homeowners lost their property rights

C neighbourhoods in the area were flattened

D Carl Laemmle decided to shut down his park

2.According to the article, why will older attractions remain?

A They’re too costly to replace.

B They provide insight into the development of the film industry.

C They represent the destruction of historic landmarks.

D They only cost $25 million in annual upkeep.

3.What will more than likely occur because of the expansion of the park?

A The movie industry will improve its contents.

B Business will experience a slight slump.

C More tourists will be drawn to the area.

D Universal Studios will pass out more tour packages.

4.Which statement is TRUE, according to the text?

A Old attractions will be preserved because it is too expensive to provide the new ones.

I. Reading

Read the text and choose the best answer (A–D) to complete the sentences (1–5).

The sixteenth century was full of changes in Europe. The Protestant churches were developed, Europeans began to explore the Americas, Asia and Africa, and creativity and learning in all areas flowered. In England, the English language grew enormously in order to express a huge number of new ideas.

At the beginning of the sixteenth century Latin was the language of learning in all of Europe, and it was seen as richer than English and the other spoken European lan- guages. However,­ with the growth of education, the invention of printing and the new interest in learning,­ this began to change. More and more people wanted to read books by Roman and Greek writers, and in England they wanted to read them in English. So these books were translated, and other books about learning were written in English. Using English meant that a writer could reach a larger audience, as one sixteenth-­ century printer explained to a writer who preferred Latin: “Though, sir, your book be wise and full of learning ... it will not be so saleable.”

However, the acceptance of English as a language of learning was not complete until the end of the seventeenth century. For example, in 1687, Sir Isaac Newton wrote his “Principia” in Latin, but fifteen years later he wrote “Opticks” in English.

Four minutes! Studies tell us that is the crucial period in which impressions are formed by someone we have just met. Within ten seconds person will begin to make judgements about our professionalism, social class, morals and intelligence. People tend to focus on what they see (dress, eye contact, movement), on what they hear (how fast or slowly we talk, our voice tone and volume), and on our actual words.

1

Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about themselves are more likely to care about their jobs. Research shows that physically attractive people are generally perceived by prospective employers as more intelligent, likable and cred- ible. Here is how to make those crucial four minutes count.

2

It signals success. Studies have linked clothing consciousness to higher self-esteem and job satisfaction. Forget about personal style. At work, your clothes must convey the message that you are competent, reliable and authoritative. Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

3

How you move and your gesture will greatly influence an interviewer’s first impres- sion of you. In a landmark study of communications, psychologist Albert Mehrabian discovered that 7 percent of any message about our feelings and attitudes comes from the words we use, 38 percent from our voice, and a startling 35 percent from our facial expressions. In fact, when our facial expression or tone of voice conflicts with our words, the listener will typically pay more attention on the nonverbal message.

4

Your goal is to express confidence and be believed. Clinch that favourable first im- pression by making your words consistent with your body language and appearance. Open and close your conversation on a positive note. When you are going to leave, sum- marize why you are the best candidate for the job and thank the person for his interest.
