Read an article about the Carnegie Hall in New York and answer questions 1–8 choosing option which
best fits according to the text.
One of the most famous concert halls in America is the Carnegie Hall in New York. Initially, it
was called simply the ‘Music Hall’, but three years after its opening it was renamed in honour
of Andrew Carnegie, the man who had provided much of the finance for its building.
The Hall officially opened on May 5, 1891. Since then, the Hall has played host to the giants of
classical music, as well as those of jazz, pop, folk and rock music, and has also been used for
political rallies, religious services and lectures.
One of the most dramatic lectures given in the Hall took place during its first year. This began
simply as a talk accompanied by slides of paintings of sunsets and landscapes, which was
what the audience had been expecting. However, as the lecture progressed, the effects
became more dramatic, with thunder, rolling clouds and steam billowing over the audience’s
head while mechanical volcanoes exploded on stage – all to the amazement and delight of the
audience.
In 1927 the violinist Yehudi Menuhin made his appearance at the Carnegie Hall for the first time
– he was aged ten. In the afternoon before the performance, he was wandering around the Hall
instead of practising and was fascinated by an axe which he saw on the wall. The axe was for
use in a fire but the boy, not knowing this, asked a security guard what it was for. The guard
made an impression with his reply: “That’s for chopping the heads off soloists who don’t play
well enough. Quite a few have already been chopped off.” Yehudi went rushing back to
practise.
On one occasion another famous violinist and a pianist were giving a performance together
when the violinist got lost in the music. He anxiously looked to the pianist for help and
whispered “Where are we?” He received the less than helpful reply “in the Carnegie Hall”.
Rock and roll made its first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in 1955 with Bill Haley and his
Comets. In 1964 the British invasion arrived when the Beatles played their first concert here.
On the day of the concert, cars came to a halt all over the city and the crowds surrounding the
building were enormous. Fortunately, in all the chaos nobody was seriously injured and the
Hall escaped with only minor damage.
In the 1950s the building was threatened with demolition but a vigorous campaign to save it
was led by the conductor, Isaac Stern. In 1960 the Hall was purchased by the City of New York
and a few years later it was named a national landmark. Over the years the most famous
musicians, singers and entertainers in the world have appeared there – no doubt they will
continue to do so for many years to come.

Shakespeare’s Theater
William Shakespeare may be the greatest (0) DRAMATIST (DRAMA) the world has known. He lived in England during the rule of Queen Elizabeth I. It was a time when a (1) Ответ (PLAY) was an important person! Everyone from the queen to the (2) Ответ (POOR) young apprentice loved plays. In fact, a law punished apprentices who sneaked away from work to attend one of London’s theaters.
The theater of Shakespeare’s day was an open courtyard. Most (3) Ответ (THEATRE) stood to watch performances. These general-admission spectators were known as “groundlings.” Only the (4) Ответ (WEALTH) had the money required to buy seats in the covered gallery boxes. The stage had no (5) Ответ (SCENE).
It was the dramatist’s task to help the audience imagine the sets.
Shakespeare’s (6) Ответ (POET) lines made spectators see a (7) Ответ (MOON) garden, feel the sun, hear the thunder of horses’ hooves. No curtain fell between acts.
If a character was killed on stage, the body had to be removed in a way that fit the story. And there were plenty of killings! Shakespeare’s audiences liked action and bloodshed. Every good actor trained to be a swordsman and rehearsed duels.
At that time, it was (8) Ответ (PROPER) for women to appear on stage, so boys took the women’s roles. The lovely, romantic Juliet, the treacherous Lady MacBeth, and all of the other female characters were (9) Ответ (CONVINCE) played by well-trained boys.

Pen Names
Many authors don’t put their own names on their work. They use pen names, also called
(0)pseudonyms UP8MONEYS. Some people write under pen names to protect their
(1) Ответ VIPYCAR (freedom from unauthorized intrusion). But there are
other reasons to use a pseudonym.
In the 19th century, women often used male pen names. Why? This was an era of
(2) Ответ NOTICDIN8IMBA (prejudiced treatment). Women were taken
much less seriously than men. When British novelist Mary Ann Evans wrote about
(3) Ответ RIOTVERSACLON (causing a lot of angry public disagreement)
social problems, she used the (4) Ответ SCANULINE (considered to be
characteristic of men) name George Eliot. (5) Ответ SILKEWIE (in a
similar way), George Sand was the pen name chosen by the Frenchwoman Amantine-Aurore-
Lucile Duphan.
In more recent times, Susan Eloise Hinton published her books under the name S. E. Hinton.
The best-known of her novels, The Outsiders, Is (6) Ответ DATERARN

American author Samuel Clemens, who was once a Mississippi riverboat pilot, used Mark
Twain as his pseudonym. That name comes from a riverboat term meaning “two fathoms”—a

might recognize. Children’s writer Dr. Seuss was actually Theodor Seuss Geisel. Lewis Carroll,
the creator of Alice in Wonderland, was born Charles Dodgson. Two American mystery writers
—Fredric Damay and Manfred B. Lee—used the pen name Ellery Queen.
