SUPERMAN, BATMAN, SPIDER-MAN - they have much in common. In ordinary circumstances they are ordinary, normal people, not different from anybody else. But when the moment comes, they turn into superheroes and spend most of their time helping good guys and fighting bad guys. The likeness is not only in that. The three characters began as comic book characters, they all became very popular and they all eventually came to the big screen. The plot of the Spider-Man is very simple and very much like Super-man and Batman movies. The hero, Peter Parker, is a student and also works as a photographer. He lives in New York with his aunt and uncle. He is a weedy, shy young man. He is in love with a girl next door, but he is very awkward with the ladies, and the girl doesn't notice him much. In short Peter is not a hero at all. But one day he is bitten by a mutant spider, and gets its qualities. Now he has superhuman strength and reflexes, sense for danger, he can stick to most surfaces, walk up walls and shoot strands of webbing from his wrists. Peter decides to use his extraordinary powers to fight crime. In his stunning red costume, which covers his whole body, Spider-Man patrols the streets to save the good people of New York from all kinds of danger. He climbs the walls of skyscrapers, swings hundreds metres above the ground on his web... Certainly ordinary criminals are not enough. Every superhero needs a super-enemy, somebody who is really bad and is usually after the same thing - world domination, very soon Peter finds an enemy like that — the Green Goblin. A hero who leads a kind of double life - ordinary person by day, superhero at night, a girl who at first doesn't pay much attention to the hero, but finds him irresistible in the role of a superhero, a power-mad enemy... Probably everything sounds too, familiar, but the film is a success. Many people agree that it's one of the few movies that really lives up to expectations. It's a good, clean, funny, action-packed movie with stunning special effects and with no swearing. In short it's a superior superhero movie that is worth seeing. Vocabulary: to have much in common - иметь много общего ordinary - обычный
superhero - супергерой good deeds -добрые дела guy - парень comic book - комикс character - персонаж eventually - в конце концов, в итоге to release - выпустить plot - сюжет weedy - хилый, слабый girl next door - соседка awkward - неловкий to bite (bit, bitten) - кусать mutant - мутант spider - паук quality - качество superhuman - сверхчеловеческий reflex - рефлекс, реакция to stick (stuck, stuck) - приклеиваться, удерживаться surface - поверхность to shoot - (shot, shot) зд. выбрасывать webbing - паутина wrist - запястье extraordinary - необычайный, исключительный stunning - потрясающий to patrol - патрулировать to swing (swung) - раскачиваться to be after smth - стремиться (к), добиваться domination - владычество, господство goblin -гоблин irresistible - неотразимый

A. The ancient entertainment B. We are part of audience C. Great hits old days D. Ruling games in modern society E. Theatre forever F. A bright star G. Theatre is eternal 1. During the past hundred years, the radio, the cinema, TV and now Internet have made great changes in the entertainment with which people fill their free time. More than a hundred years ago people knew how to entertain themselves much better than they do now. When a group of people gathered together, they talked, played cards or other games, read aloud to each other, or went out shooting, or walking together. Summer picnics were also a great hit those days. Most of people could sing or play a musical instrument, so at a party the guests entertained each other. Conversation was an art, amusing conversation could keep people happy for hours. 2. As for games, such as football, tennis, people used to play them more often than they do now. Most of them didn’t play very well, but they could amuse themselves and their friends. Nowadays we are entertained by professionals. There appeared even such phenomena as show industry and professional sport. With the help of electronic Mass Media they are ruling in modern society. I’m not an exception and also pay my tribute to them. So choosing among theatre, cinema and TV, I’ll certainly choose Theatre. 3. Theatre is the ancient but ever - youthful parent of all entertainment in dramatic form. It has existed on and off for two-and-a-half thousand years because there is something special to itself that it offers us. But what is it that is special about the theatre? A famous playwright Priestly compares theatre with the restaurant. In a very good restaurant we have a dinner that is specially cooked for us; in a canteen we are merely served with standard portions of a standard meal. And this is the difference between the living Theatre and the mass entertainment of films, radio and television. In the theatre the play is specially cooked for us. 4. The production never takes its final shape, until it has an audience. The actors are not playing to microphones and cameras but to warmly responsive fellow-creatures. And they are never giving exactly the same performance. If the audience tends to be heavy, unresponsive – the company slightly sharpens and heightens its performance to bring the audience to life, and vice versa, if the audience is too enthusiastic. One more thing, when we see a play we form part of an audience. This is important, because we behave differently when we are part of audience. If the play is funny, we laugh a great deal more that we should if we were by ourselves. If it is pathetic we are more deeply moved just because a lot of other people are being moved too. We have to share the feelings of a great many other people to enjoy a play properly, and this in itself is a good thing, particularly these days when too many people usually living in large cities feel cut off, and separate. 5. To enjoy the theatre we have to join it. Today theatre is at some kind of crisis. The houses are alarmingly empty. Many other forms of entertainment have superseded theatre. There are many who do not care whether theatre lives or dies. This is causing anxiety. The main reason for that is that our cultural level is painfully low. Now we can see the degradation of people’s spiritual and cultural standards as a whole, the erosion of values and ideals. And culture is the health of a nation, a way of improving its genetic fund. It’s impossible to survive without culture. Theatre is the means of the disseminating culture. School is responsible for awakening a child’s interest to theatre, it’s necessary to instil into people, into their consciousness the love to the theatre. I do believe that the situation will change to the better. Theatre will never die. For some people it died long ago, - for people who are poorly developed emotionally, they simply do not understand the Theatre, as they do not understand painting, serious music. But theatre is eternal. The atmosphere in theatre is solemn. It’s the magical place where man meets his image, where people are taught to appreciate the beauty, to hate the evil, ugliness, where feelings are stirred, where our souls and mind are elevated. It is the enduring home of dramatic experience, which is surely one of the most searching, rewarding, enchanting of our many different kinds of experience. Theatre unites actors and spectators, moves our feelings, establishes close contacts between people, creates the atmosphere for thinking. Theatre makes it possible to establish close contacts between actors and spectators, to create intellectual atmosphere, to distinguish between the good and the bad, to understand and enjoy the beauty. 6. There is an actor in the history of theatre and cinema whose name is well known for everybody. It is Andrey Mironov. He got to be known thanks to his numerous film roles. I believe, everybody remembers his brilliant performances in “Twelve Chairs”, “A Diamond Arm”, “Adventures of Italians in Russia” and many other unforgettable comedies. He is one of the most brilliant comic actors of our days. His artistic palette is unbelievably rich. Though his humour is often sad, sometimes sarcastic, it left nobody indifferent. Spectators began to smile from the first minute Andrey appeared in the screen. The name of Mironov in the caption of a film was a guarantee of good entertainment a promise of high skill and good taste less known was Mironov a dramatic actor. He was a bright star in the constellation of popular dramatic actors who played in the Moscow Theatre of Comedy in those days. His repertoire in the theatre was richer and wore various than in films where directors exploited his gift of a comic only. His Figaro in “The Barber of Seville” is the best simple of his talent, his ability to create both comic and tragic characters. His sense of display, an ability to identify with a role, artistic imagination, intellectual and spiritual strength his exquisite sense of humour made Andrey Mironov a favourite of millions of spectators.

A Film for aliens B. Phun factory C. Helping nose D. First monster star E. Extreme cello playing F. New stars G. Retiring to Internet 1. Phun Factory in New York is the largest open air graffiti gallery in the world. On the wall of the factory, street kids show their talents — legally — for everyone to admire. The gallery was founded to keep the city clean, and give people a chance to express themselves. The 'masterpieces' are changed every three months. 2. A Dutch film company has made a film to explain what humans are like to aliens. "Imagine then how difficult it would be to explain it to an alien," says one of the filmmakers. "That's why we decided to make a film about us." The eight-minute cartoon shows what people are and what they think and feel. The makers hope it will be taken into space on a mission in 2007. 3. Pop star George Michael is retiring from the music business to become an Internet-only artist. The singer says he will never make another album for sale in record shops because he doesn't need the money and is tired of being famous. Instead he intends to put all future songs on the Internet for free. Fans will be invited to make donations in exchange for downloading the tracks, which multi-millionaire Michael will give to charity. 4. The first movie monster to become a star was King Kong (1933). Although the giant ape made some film-goers faint, King Kong was actually a model only 45 centimeters tall. For close-ups the studio used a giant furry head worked by three men inside! 5. Cameron Diaz believes her nose has helped her get most of her acting roles. She says that when she began acting her friends told her that she would never be able to make it big in Hollywood unless she got a nose job. Cameron says her refusal to get her nose corrected actually helped her get film roles instead of losing them. 'I thought it kind of gave me a different look to all the other surgery-type girls,' she says. 6. One day, a group of British cellists was watching a documentary on TV which showed the Extreme Ironing World Championship in Germany. This gave them an idea: why not try to make music in extreme locations? This is how a new sport — Extreme Cello Playing — was born.

Wagner's Parsifal in New York "There, there, gentlemen," Mr. Adams told us. "You demand too much from America. A score of years ago something very interesting happened to me. You will find it interesting to hear this. The first time Wagner's Parsifal was presented in New York I went, of course. I love Wagner very much. I took my place in the seventh row and prepared to listen. Beside me sat a large red-haired gentleman. Five minutes after the beginning of the performance I noticed that the red-haired gentleman was asleep. That would not have been so terrible if in his sleep he had not leaned on my shoulder and emitted a quite unpleasant snore. I wakened him. But a minute later he was again asleep, all the time leaning his head on my shoulder, as if it were a pillow. Gentlemen, I am not a mean man, but I could not endure this. With all my strength I shoved my elbow into the red-haired gentleman's side. He awakened and stared at me for a long time with an uncomprehending look. Then I saw suffering on his face. 'I beg your pardon, sir,' he said, but I am a very unhappy man. I came from San Fransisco to New York for two days only, and I have many things to attend to. But in San Fransisco I have a wife, who is a German. You know, sir, the Germans are crazy people; they are mad about music. My wife is no exception. When I was leaving, she said, "James, give me your word that you will go to the first performance of Parsifal. What a treat to be at the first performance of Parsifal! Since I cannot go, at least you must go. You must do it for me. Give me your word of honour." I gave her my word, and we business people know how to keep our word. And so, 1 am here, sir!' I advised him to go back to the hotel, since he had already kept his word and there was no danger that he would become a dishonest person, and he immediately ran away after warmly pressing my hand. You know, I liked that red-headed gentleman. You must not judge Americans too harshly. They are an honest people. They deserve the utmost respect."(И. Ильф, Е. Петров. Одноэтажная Америка)

Little Tommy Tommy went to the theatre for the first time in his life when he was six. But it was an unusual visit. Tommy did not know what theatre was and why people went there. Tommy's father was an actor. That night he was to play Othello. There was nobody in the house to leave the boy with, because Tommy's mother was on a business trip in another town. So his father said: "Well, Tommy, I think I shall take you to the theatre with me tonight." In the theatre Father brought Tommy into a large room. There were mirrors on the walls of this room and small tables under them. Many people were 300 sitting there and ... making their faces dirty! Father also put something on his face and hands, and they became black. Tommy had never seen such a dirty face in his life. Then Tommy heard music. Father told him to stay in the room and wait, and everybody left the room. Now Tommy was alone in the large room. He had nothing to do. For some time he wandered about the room, looking at himself in the mirrors. Then he felt lonely. He wanted to find his father. He opened the door and went out into the corridor. There was nobody there. Far away he heard his father's voice. He went along the corridor. At the end of the corridor there was a door. Tommy pushed it and found himself in a very large room. Now he could hear his father better. His voice was coming from behind the wall. The wall was made of fabric, and near the floor there was a little hole in the wall. Tommy looked through this hole. He saw a very large and beautiful, well-lighted room. There was somebody in the room, but through the little hole Tommy could not see who it was. He pulled the fabric, and the hole became larger. Now he could push his face through it. The stage manager was sitting in the box and watching the play. He had a very good view of the stage. He was satisfied. Everything went well. An all-star cast was playing. The scenery was first class. The acting was excellent. Othello was magnificent, more magnificent tonight than ever. Desdemona was brilliant beyond all doubts. The play was surely a success with the public. The stalls, the boxes, the dress-circle, the tiers, even the gallery, were full of spectators. It was still in the hall: the public were watching the play with bated breath. Suddenly the stage manager saw that there was a face in the fireplace. “What has happened?” thought the stage manager. “I must run and see what has happened there.” But he had a weak heart and now he felt so bad that he could not move; he was just sitting there and looking at the face. The people who were sitting in the hall also saw the face in the fireplace. They began to whisper. At that moment Othello came up to Desdemona and said: “Oh, give me your hand.” Desdemona was to answer: “My hand? I have given you my heart.” But she didn’t say anything; she was sitting and looking at the fireplace. The prompter, sitting in the prompter’s box thought that Desdemona had forgotten her words, and whispered: “My hand? I have given you my heart.” The prompter whispered louder: “My hand? I have given you my heart.” Desdemona was silent. Othello was alarmed. “My hand,” he whispered to Desdemona. “Say ‘my hand’.” Desdemona whispered back: “Behind you. In the fireplace.” Othello looked behind and was in a panic. He went to the fireplace and whispered: “Tommy, go away from here. Do you hear me?” Little Tommy smiled happily but did not move. Othello, who didn’t know what to do, went back to Desdemona. Little Tommy could not see his father now, so he moved a little and came out of the fireplace. He quietly walked to a small bench which stood near Desdemona’s chair, and sat down. The spectators were laughing. Othello tried to save the situation.
