1. _________________________
Wearing black clothing, white face-paint and black lipstick is mere
play-acting for most members of the subculture called Gothdom. “Every day is Halloween
for a Goth,” said Diana, a Gothic-Punk follower drawn to the movement by the dress,
music and “the romance of death.” Local cult expert Rand Johnson, a West Jordan police
captain, said every high school in Salt Lake Valley boasts a few Goths. Most are harmless,
but a few can become a danger to themselves and others. “The Goths are fascinated with
the darker side of life – with the grotesque, the mysterious, the desolate,” Johnson
said. “There is a fascination with graveyards, death and moody music.”
2. _________________________
Johnson said that only a small percentage of Goths participate in
ritual bloodletting, animal sacrifices and the worship of Satan. “Gothdom is primarily a
form of rebellion, escapism – a hobby. And if it is not taken to the point of obsession,
it’s not a problem,” Johnson said. Explains a female Goth on an Internet homepage:
“Gothic for me is a release from the stress of having to be the perfect student, the
perfect daughter, etc. I have always been rebellious... and was drawn to Gothic music,
clothing, and a way of looking at life.”
3. _________________________
Are Goths a threat to society? Salt Lake Police Sgt. Chuck Gilbert
said: “We haven’t had any trouble with the Goths. They’re mostly kids preoccupied
with death who wear a lot of white, black and purple makeup. They really don’t focus on
committing crimes, and for the most part they aren’t what we would classify as a gang.
They’re just real bizarre and, for the most part, they’ve been harmless.”

Текст для контрольной работы по
аудированию для 3-го урока 11-го класса учебника
В.П. Кузовлева
ROBBIE WILLIAMS
 Born in the Midlands town of Stoke on February 13, 1974, Robert Peter Williams
is the biggest male singer to come out of Britain in a long, long time. He’s sold
millions of records the world over, and the single that launched him on the road to solo
megastardom, “Angels”, is one of the most requested songs at British funerals.
His first appearance on the pop scene was over a decade ago, in 1990,
but in a remarkably different guise. Nigel Martin-Smith had created a boyband called Take
That, and the role of the “cheeky one” fell to 16-year-old Robbie.
Six years later, with songs like “Back For Good”, “Relight My
Fire” and “Could It Be Magic”, and earnings of Ј80 million the group split up. But
Robbie was long gone. He had left the band in July 1995.
When, in 1996, Robbie released his first single, a cover version of
George Michael’s “Freedom”, the prognosis was not good. But, when he returned
a year later with the song “Old Before I Die”, it looked as though the handsome
entertainer was back at his best. Since then, his popularity has grown and grown, as has
his stature as a songwriter. He and his musical partner Guy Chambers picked up two gongs,
for Angels, at the UK’s Ivor Novello awards and, thanks to three million-selling
albums, have become the most sought-after musicians in London.
Although it may seem as though Robbie was born to fill the upper
echelons of the music charts, he also harbours a not-so-secret ambition to make it as an
actor. And there’s one role in particular that he seems to have in mind – that of
British secret agent 007.
