Задание I.

1.1 .Put the parts of the text in the correct order.

Cinema

1. Cinema has become one of the most popular kinds of art in the 20^th century. The invention of the photography in 1828 played a very important role in the development of the cinema. In 1895 the cinema was born. After the brothers Lumier had invented the cinematography, the cinema widely spread all over the world. The first movie theatres appeared in 1904. And in 1907 the literature works started to be widely used for the movie scripts. 

2. Nowadays science-fiction films are very popular. They create a dream world. They describe other planets and extraterrestrial living- beings (ETs). Some of these films impress with their plot, some with special effects. Love stories and comedies are good old genres of the movies. They are adored by everyone.  An adaptation is the film which is based on a novel. Cartoons are especially loved by kids. Documentaries are about real people and events. The most fascinating are about nature.

3. The movies are a powerful force in contemporary life. A great number of various types of films are released all over the world. Westerns are the films with cowboys, Indians , a lot of shooting and chasing. Action films are usually full of fighting, shooting and blood. There is also a hero who fights the enemies in some extraordinary circumstances. Horror films and thrillers are full of terrible characters, such as vampires, monsters and murderers. Only people with strong nerves can watch them.

4. I would like to say a few words about the people who make films. When a director has an idea of shooting a film, he finds a scriptwriter who writes a script. Then he has to find a producer who will be in charge of the finances and all the other numerous problems. Then the director invites some stars to take the main parts. If there are some tricks in the film, the stunt masters are necessary. Of course, there are a lot of extras who secretly dream of becoming stars.

The art director is responsible for the set and costumes. The sound technician chooses music and records the sound track for the film. The film is shot by the camera crew, supervised by the director of photography.

Presents for the Natives

Miklukho-Maclay was a Russian scientist and traveller who lived more than a year on the island of New Guinea. The ship came to the island in the evening of a September day in 1871. Next morning the captain said to Maclay: “You are coming ashore. Why don’t you take more men with you? Have you a gun?” “I don’t need a gun. I have presents for the natives.” The island was beautiful. There were trees and flowers everywhere, and it was very hot. The sun shone brightly high above Maclay’s head. He walked for some time down a forest path. Suddenly he stopped because he heard a noise. A native stood in front of him. He looked at Maclay quickly and then started running away. Maclay ran after him. The native looked back and suddenly stopped. Maclay took out some presents and showed them to the man. The native took the presents and smiled. This was how Miklukho-Maclay met the first black man on the first day of his life in New Guinea. The native’s name was Tui. He was Maclay’s best friend all the time that the traveller lived on the island. On the first of October Maclay started out for a walk in the forest. He carried no gun. He had only a notebook and a pencil. In the forest, he met a native boy who saw him and ran away. Maclay heard the voices of men and women and the cries of children. Suddenly many men with spears in their hands came out. They stopped and looked at Maclay angrily. When he tried to say something, one of the men wanted to throw his spear at him. Maclay did not know a word of their language. He could not explain that he was their friend. He knew that he had to do something quickly. And a good idea came to him. He suddenly sat down on the ground and began to take off his shoes. Then he lay down, put a bag under his head and ... slept. The natives did nothing to him.
