Look at the posters on your bedroom wall. Brad Pitt has got great skin, hasn’t he? Penelope Cruz has got a fantastic figure, right? The truth is, no they haven’t – at least not all the time. Film stars, pop stars and models have bad days, too, just like everyone else. They get spots and blemishes every now and then and they put on a few extra pounds from time to time, too.		Посмотрите на плакаты на стенах своей спальни? У Брэда Питта великолепная кожа, не так ли? У Пенелопы Круз фантастическая фигура, да? Правда заключается в том, что это не так – по меньшей мере, не всегда так. У кино- и поп звезд случаются также и плохие дни, как и у всех. Иногда у них случаются пятна на коже и время от времени они также набирают несколько лишних фунтов.
So how come we never see those photos? Well, to start with, advertisers think that we don’t want to see pictures of people looking less than perfect. What’s more, the stars themselves pay their publicists lots of money to make sure their pictures are perfect every time. This means that every photo we see on the cover of a glossy magazine has been retouched. Stomachs are flatter, legs are longer, lips are fuller and waists are slimmer. Although we know this, we still can’t help comparing ourselves to these unreal images and feeling unhappy about the way we look.		Как же получается, что мы никогда не видим эти фотографии? Ну, для начала рекламщики думают, что мы не хотим смотреть на фотографии людей, которые выглядят не идеально. Более того, звезды сами платят своим специалистам по рекламе много денег, чтобы быть уверенными в том, что их фотографии каждый раз идеальны. Это значит, что каждое фото, которое мы видим на обложке глянцевого журнала, отретушировано. Живот более плоский, ноги длиннее, губы полнее и талия тоньше. Хотя мы и знаем об этом, тем не менее мы не можем не сравнивать себя с этими ненастоящими изображениями и ощущать недовольство тем, как мы сами выглядим.
What we should do is say, ‘Wow! This photo is really phoney!” and laugh at the fake beauty we see in media images or better still ignore them altogether. No one looks perfect 100% of the time, and we shouldn’t let the media cause how we feel about ourselves.		То, что мы должны сделать, – это сказать: “Уау! Да эта фотография ненастоящая!” – и посмеяться над фальшивой красотой, которую мы видим на картинках в средствах массовой информации, или, еще лучше, вообще проигнорировать ее. Никто не выглядит идеально все 100% времени, и нам нельзя позволять средствам массовой информации определять, как нам себя чувствовать.

Look at the posters on your bedroom wall. Adam Levine has got great skin, hasn’t he? Jennifer Lawrence has got a fantastic figure, right? The truth is, no they haven’t — at least not all the time.

I think that the main idea of this text is to show that there are no ideal people, that people cannot look beautiful, glamorous around the clock. All stars have an image and correspond to it. And we should not suffer comparing our imperfect image with the perfect but retouched images of the stars.

Variant 1

READING

1) Read the text and choose
the correct answer.

School
forever?

Classes and
homework are not only for children. Not anymore. This is the opinion of one of
the online course providers Jason Underwood. He believes education is going to
become a lifelong process for those who are at school or university now. The
professional world is very competitive nowadays, and to keep up with rivals one
needs to update qualifications on a regular basis. If a person wants to go
further, to get promoted, and to keep his skilled job, he’ll have to master his
skills and upgrade his qualifications regularly.

The
job-for-life tendency seems to have ceased to exist. The world is changing
rapidly: specialists of your profession are in great demand now, but soon you
may find the job market has changed, and you may need to obtain another
qualification to avoid being left behind.

It’s obvious
that a person who has a full time job can’t give it up in order to attend
classes. The internet is the resource which enables people to combine work and
study. Online courses provide vast opportunities in education and development
to everyone, regardless of their age, job, and location. Jason Underwood
believes that the technological advantages of distant education are evident and
it will soon replace the old model of education with its compulsory lecture and
seminar attendance. «If you do an online course,» he says, «you
can just log on, i.e. enter the educational resource by typing your login, and
listen to the lecturer, or read the printed version of the lecture. You have
access to lots of audio and video topic-related clips and you can watch them
again and again. You can record them for later use in case you wish to run
through them for your exam. And if anything needs clarification or if you’ve
got questions, you can apply to your tutor or the lecturer via the e-mail. And
even when it’s time to sit your course exam, there’s often no need to come to
the real classroom — you can submit assignments and take exams via the internet.»

Access to
libraries without commuting and studying at a convenient time is a real
advantage for students of any ages, and absolutely vital for adult students.
Though not all distance courses are run quite effectively yet, in regard to
lifetime education the concept of lectures and tutorials held entirely in the
classroom has already gone.

Variant II

READING

1) Read the text and choose the correct answer.

When Louise Roberts was eighteen, she began to
feel pain in her joints. Within six months, she was in so much pain that it was
like walking on glass. Just pulling up a zip brought tears to her eyes. The
worst thing was that she was too weak to play the violin. She had been playing
since the age of seven and had planned to become a professional. Louise’s
doctor told her she had arthritis, a condition which makes the joints become
painful. Louise was forced to give up playing the violin to avoid damaging her
joints, and given pain killer drugs, which she still takes.

A year after the diagnosis she went to university
to do teacher training. It was upsetting for Louise to listen to other students
practicing their instruments, knowing she could not play her beloved violin.
She begged her mother to sell it, but her mother would not.

Teacher training was tough. Standing for long
periods made her knees and feet ache, especially in cold weather. There were
times when she felt she couldn’t cope with it. Nevertheless she has now got a
job in a primary school teaching a class of five year olds. She also plays the
piano in school hall. Her fingers are still stiff at that hour of the morning,
and she misses lots of notes but the children don’t seem to mind.

After four years away from her violin Louise has
just started teaching a ten-year-old boy to play. Before the arthritis started,
she used to play in a symphony orchestra, and she still dreams that one day she
will perform on stage again.

Louise’s condition has improved, partly because
of the drugs, but also because, since visiting an allergy clinic, she has
changed her diet completely. She has cut out all wheat, dairy products, beef
and pork. Even so, her energy is limited and there are times when she is so
tired that she has to stay in bed all weekend. She envies healthy people
sometimes.

On the plus side however, she is more determined
than most to get the best from life. She’s also been taking singing lessons, as
arthritis doesn’t affect the voice, and as a result has achieved a higher
standard in singing.

1. When Louise tried to get dressed…

a. she could do it easily.

b. her mother had to help her.

c. it wasn’t so painful that she didn’t cry.

d. it was like walking on glass.

2. Why does Louise play the piano badly at school
hall?

a. She can’t concentrate.

b. Her joints can’t move freely.

c. She hasn’t woken up yet

d. She doesn’t care about it

3. Louise occasionally wishes she was not
disabled because

a. she has to spend every weekend in bed.

b. she can’t eat cheese and yoghurt.

c. she doesn’t like staying in bed.

d. she gets so tired.

4. Why did Louise want her mother to sell her
violin?

a. She needed the money.

b. She didn’t know how to play it

c. She wanted to buy a better one.

d. She was unable to play it

5. What is Louise’s strong desire?

a. to team to drive.

b. to play music in public.

c. to teach the violin.

d. to act
