VI. Match the headlines with the articles




V. Find benefits and dangers of television.

IV. Read the story. Give the title to the article.

 

Whenever and wherever something important happens, journalists and photographers are reporting on the events and taking pictures. These people often put themselves in dangerous situations. Some may be seriously hurt or even killed because of their efforts. Journalists go to areas where there are conflicts to report on the war. They also report on political protests.

Sometimes their responsibilities put them in danger as they try to find out the facts behind a story.

Photographers are courageous people. Wherever they go they are ready to put themselves in dangerous situations to take dramatic pictures. For instance to get the pictures of wild animals, photographers try to get as close as they can to the animals: sharks, snakes and crocodiles. They also may have to climb tall mountains or dive deep into the sea. Why do they do it?

 

BENEFITS DANGERS
   
   
   
   

 

1. Television helps us to learn more about the world and to know and see many new things.

2. Television can make us passive. We don’t have to think and our brains become lazy.

3. It has increased the popularity of sports and arts.

4. It takes time away from activities such s reading, conversation, and games.

5. It is an enjoyable way to relax.

6. It encourages us to buy things that we don’t need, and can make us unhappy with our own lives.

7. It has made us aware of our global responsibilities. In 1985, for example, 1.5 billion people in 147 countries watched TV pop concert and helped to collect more than $100 million for people in Africa.

8. It gives a false picture of society. A study in 1994 showed that people who watch a lot of television are more afraid of crime. They also think that there is a lot more crime than there really is.

 

 

1. After years of research, scientists from Holland have invented a new tulip. The flower has petals which change color three times during its life. They start green, turn pink, and finish red.

2. A hoaxer in Brazil has sold bottled tap water to thousands of people for 20 US dollars a liter. He says the water is from the moon – which, in fact, has no water on it at all.

3. Boy pupils in Glasgow have won a discrimination case. In court they complained that their school allowed only girls to wear earrings. Are they happy with the result? Not exactly. The school rules have changed, but things haven’t improved for the boys. Now no one can wear earrings at the school.

4. A new-married student couple in Cambridge has celebrated their wedding in an unusual way by jumping. In all their wedding gear, into the River Cam. The director of ‘ Brides ‘n’ Grooms’ – the local wedding outfit shop- has spoken to other couples to discourage them from following suit.

5. Leeds police have arrested two men who mugged a bank clerk and stole his bank bag. The attack happened last Thursday when the man was on his way to work. The thieves ran off with the bag, but when they opened it, they found only a tuna sandwich. The bank clerk hasn’t explained why his packed lunch was in the bag.

 

a. Equal opportunities

b. Fast food

c. Multi-colored petals

d. Moon water

e. Mad marital plunge
