Nowadays, there is a great deal of concern about levels of health and fitness among young people. Even though young

Прочитайте текст и выполните задания к нему (A25 – A30).
Valerie Jones runs a company called Peanuts whose job it is to look after pop stars and pop groups when they
go on tour. She is the person who feeds the stars and she’s been doing it for the past ten years.
§ 1. When the stars are playing at a festival Valerie may have to cook for up to a thousand people which
includes all the crew and the people who work backstage. She erects a marquee – a huge tent – and the food
is served buffet style from a central serving area. She has to cater for different tastes, so there are normally
four or more choices of menu. She also has to look after people who may be on a special diet or some singers
who don’t eat dairy food before a concert.
§ 2. She drives an enormous truck full of kitchen equipment and hires at least three walk-in refrigerators, a
dish washing unit and portable cabins which act as storerooms and office. All the bands have to queue up to
be served and everyone has to have a meal ticket. The stars are usually more relaxed when they are eating as
no one is bothering them for autographs, although Valerie says that sometimes the security men and the stars’
managers are more trouble than the stars themselves.
§ 3. There are certain things which she always has to keep in stock like herbal teas and her own particular
mixture of honey, lemon and ginger which singers like to keep in flasks on stage with them when they are
singing. Years ago bands used to drink quite a lot of alcohol, but these days they’re much healthier. Most
bands drink fresh fruit juice and prefer to eat salads.
§ 4. A lot of people in the bands are quite young and they are not used to very expensive food, so Valerie
prepares plain food unless a band sends her a ‘rider’. This is a list of special requirements. When people are
tired, unwell or homesick they like to have familiar ‘comfort’ food so she keeps a stock list of people’s
requirements just in case. As a result of all this, Valerie says she has become an expert shopper and in less
than an hour in a supermarket she can spend £1000.
§ 5. A lot of bands won’t eat before a concert because they are too nervous, so Valerie and her staff can end
up working very long hours as they have to be around to provide what people want at two or three in the
morning. One thing Valerie has noticed is that the more mad a band is on stage, the more normal they are
when they are off it. She says she is amazed at the change in behaviour. A really wild singer can turn out to be
really quiet and polite off stage.
Выберите один из предложенных вариантов ответа в соответствии с содержанием
приведенного выше текста.
A25. Valerie has to provide a range of food because
1) people are very fussy about what they eat.
2) there is such a wide variety of preferences.
3) people are used to eating in restaurants.
A26. The singers are less nervous when they are eating because
1) their security men are with them.
2) there are no fans hanging around.
3) their managers fuss over them.
A27. Why is a band likely to be hungry after playing?
1) They feel more relaxed after a concert.
2) They work long hours with little food.
3) They only have a snack before a concert.
A28. What does Valerie think about the singers?
1) They are completely crazy on and off stage.
2) They behave differently on and off stage.
3) They are less rude when they are off stage.

Recent surveys have shown that teenagers are more interested in science than you might expect. This is good
news because we will need more people to work in (B1) … (SCIENCE) research in the future. The problem,
