Read the passage and write the answer True or False. (2,5 points)

Modem cinema audiences expect to see plenty of thrilling scenes in actions films. These scenes, which are known as “stunts”, are usually performed by stuntmen who are specially trained to do dangerous things safely. Anyone can crash a car, but if you are shooting a film, you have to be extremely precise, sometimes stopping right in front of the camera and the film crew.

At an early stage of the production, an expert stuntman is called in to work out the action scenes and form a team. He is the only person who can go against the wishes of the director although he will usually only do this in the interests of safety.

Many famous actors like to do the dangerous parts themselves, which produces better shots, since stuntmen don’t have to work in for the actors. Actors like to become involved in all the important aspects of the characters they are playing, but without the recent progress in safety equipment, insurance companies would never let them take the risk. To do their own stunts, actors need to be good athletes, but they must also be sensible and know their limits. If they were to be hurt, the film would come to a sudden halt.

1. “Stunts” are risky and breath-taking scenes in action films.

3 A stuntman has a duty to follow all the instructions from the director in action scenes.

4. Insurance companies aren’t willing to let famous actors perform stunts without safety equipment.

5. If an actor were to be hurt, the film would continue with a stuntman replacing him.

Gliders in the storm

In February 2007, Ewa Wiśnierska, a German paraglider, was in Australia with other paragliders preparing for the World Championships. One morning, as they were getting ready to take off, they noticed a thunderstorm approaching. However, they decided to carry on. As the best paragliders, they were skilful enough to keep away from some dark clouds. Unfortunately, as the competitors took off, the weather quickly got worse. Despite Ewa's attempt to escape, two enormous clouds came together and trapped her. They pulled her up inside the storm like a leaf in the wind. She flew higher and higher. "It was dark and I could hear lightning all around me." She reached nearly 10,000 m, higher than the top of Mount Everest, and then lost consciousness. At that height, the temperature was about -40°C and there was very little oxygen. Death seemed certain. For forty minutes, Ewa was unconscious. Waking up, she was still inside the storm. It was dark, and hailstones as big as tennis balls were flying past. But fortunately, her glider, which was spinning above her head, was still in one piece. Eventually, Ewa came out of the storm cloud and landed safely near a small farm. When her team reached her, she was 60 km away from the place where she took off. She was weak and covered in ice - but alive! Ewa was the luckiest woman in the world. There's no logical reason why she survived. Ewa had frostbite on her ears and legs, but a few days later, she competed in the World Championships.
