For each question, choose the correct answer.

Beth Jones was only eight years old when she first tried playing the drums. This was during a lunchtime music club at school, which she only went to because it was cold and rainy. Also her friends were in the playground playing hockey – a sport that Beth hated. Of all the musical instruments that the teacher had in the music room, the drums were the most interesting to Beth. She thought it was cool that there were many different shapes and sizes of drums, and she wanted to hit them, to see what they sounded like.

Now Beth is thirteen and gives concerts around the country. She also has her own YouTube channel and gets over a million hits a year. What’s amazing is that Beth hasn’t ever been to a drum lesson. ‘You can learn anything on the internet, so I’ve never felt it was important for me to take classes,’ explains Beth.

Giving concerts wasn’t easy for Beth at the beginning because usually she only played drums alone in her bedroom when she came home from school. At her first concert, she played in a band with adults. She could feel hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at her, and that made her feel frightened.

So, does Beth enjoy being famous now? ‘I didn’t plan to be famous,’ she says. ‘All I want is to show others what I love. I don’t think I’m someone special. I just want everyone to have a great time at my concerts.’

1. Why did Beth go to the music club at her school?

A. She was too ill to play hockey outside with her friends.

B. She wanted something to do during lunchtime.     

C. She liked music. And she wanted to play the guitar.        

2. What is the writer explaining in the first paragraph?

A. She is sometimes sorry she didn’t take lessons.     

B. She thinks lessons can be useful for some people.

C. She has always thought she doesn’t need lessons.

3. What does Beth say about drum lessons?

A. She is sometimes sorry she didn’t take lessons.     

B. She thinks lessons can be useful for some people. 

C. She has always thought she doesn’t need lessons.

4. What do we learn about Beth’s first concert?

A. It was scary because many people were watching her.

B. It was easier playing in a band than at home alone.

C. It was difficult to be in a concert and do her schoolwork.

5 What do we learn about Beth in the final paragraph?

A. Being a young drummer makes her feel special.

B. She hopes people enjoy themselves at her concerts.        

C. Her life has changed a lot since she became famous.

Text 1.Carrying An Umbrella

   The umbrella was brought to England from the East in the eighteenth century. It was used in the East as a protection against the sun. In England it was used more as a protection against the rain. The English people liked the umbrella very much. Later they put up a monument to the first man who appeared in the streets of  London with an umbrella.

     Of course, you can go out without an umbrella in rainy weather if you put on a raincoat, but our story today is about an umbrella. Here it is.

      One day a man was walking in the street when he saw a little boy carrying an umbrella. “Little boy,” said the man, “why do you carry that umbrella over your head? It is not raining and the sun isn’t shining.”  “When it rains,” answered the boy, “dad wants it. I can use it only when the weather is good.”

Task. Mark the following statements as true (T) or false (F).

1. The umbrella was bought in England in the eighteenth century.

2. It was used in England as a protection from the sun.

3. The English people were fond of the umbrella.

4. You cannot go out without an umbrella in rainy weather in any case.

5. It wasn’t wet when a little boy was carrying an umbrella.

6. The boy’s brother takes the umbrella if it is rainy.

Text 2. 

Cornelia Funke

Sometimes regarded as the German J. K. Rowling, Cornelia Funke finished the University of Hamburg and after graduation studied book illustration at a design college. She began a career as a book illustrator and game designer, but lost interest in the work after a few years. As a young girl, Funke had been a lover of fantasy — the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and J. M. Barrie — and decided, at the age of 28, to write her own books. During the 1980s and early 1990s, she became a rather well­known author of children’s books in her native Germany, but her success came in 1997 when «Dragonrider» and later «The Thief Lord», both huge successes in Germany, were met with international attention. In fact, as soon as «The Thief Lord» reached the United States, it hit the «New York Times» bestseller list and remained there for 25 weeks.

Task. Mark the following statements as true (T) or false (F).

1. Cornelia Funke and J. K. Rowling are friends.                  

2. Cornelia Funke got her education in her native country.               

3. She began a career as a storyteller.             

4. She was always interested in her work of a designer.                   

5. She read the famous fantasy books at the age of 28.                    

6. The author’s first success came in 1997 when her books became bestsellers in the USA.
