Reading Comprehension

“Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare

      “Romeo and Juliet” is the most famous tragedy of William Shakespeare for us. It’s the story about two teen-aged lovers from two warring households, whose families hate each other. The ancient enmity (вражда) of two families Montigues and Capulettes prevented the marriage of two children in love. Nobody remembered the real reason of this senseless and blind enmity between them. The whole tragedy takes place in just five days.

       In the beginning of the play, Romeo is suffering from hopeless love for Rosaline. But when he arrives at Juliet’s birthday party with the intention to see his love, he suddenly falls in love with Juliet and immediately forgets Rosaline. The next day they marry secretly. After that,  Romeo experiences several fatal accidents. He rashly kills Tibalt, Juliet’s cousin, when he was only trying to separate his best friend Mercucio from Tibalt. But the struggle turned lethal and caused the death of one of them. And then, Romeo had to leave the city as a wanted murderer. Juliet’s parents are unaware of the secret marriage of their daughter with Romeo and press her to marry young Paris. The Monk Lorenzo, who has married our young heroes, proposes that she drinks a strong soporific (making her appear dead) to avoid marrying Paris, and also offers to write a letter to Romeo, asking him to come back secretly to Verona and visit Juliet’s family crypt. But the letter fails to reach Romeo in time because of an outbreak of the plague. But Romeo hears the tragic news of Juliet’s “death”. As his love is so strong for her and all seems lost, he decides to go and join his love in death. When he arrives and sees Juliet’s lifeless body, he meets Paris next to the grave and kills him with fury (в отчаянии, в ярости). Romeo, in hopelessness, drinks his poison, since he is not willing to live without Juliet. Next, Juliet wakes up from her stupor and sees Romeo’s corpse, so she takes his dagger, stabs herself and ends her life for real, not willing to live without his love. The two families discover their dead children and end their fight. This story will live for centuries because the love was stronger than the hatred.

The Development of Museums

1. The conviction that historical relics reflect real life of the past is rooted in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, when science was regarded as objective and free of human attitudes. As one writer observes: ‘Although it is now evident that material objects are as easily changed as chronicles, public belief in their authenticity is still very strong: a tangible relic seems real.’ Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays. Museums used to look – and some still do – much like storage rooms of objectives packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike. Similarly, the information accompanying the objects often made little sense to the general public. The content and format explanations dated back to a time when the museum was the exclusive domain of the scientific researcher.

2. Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have changed. The key word in heritage display is now ‘experience’, the more exciting the better and, if possible, involving all the senses. Good examples of this approach in the UK are the Jorvik Centre in York; the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford; and the Imperial War Museum in London. In the US the trend emerged much earlier: Williamsburg has been a prototype for many heritage developments in other parts of the worlds. No one can predict where the process will end. On so – called heritage sites the re – enactment of historical events is increasingly popular, and computers will soon provide virtual reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment. Such developments have been criticized as vulgar, but the success of many historical theme parks and similar locations suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion.

3. In a related development, the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites on the one hand, and theme parks on the other, is gradually evaporating. They already borrow ideas and concepts from one another. For example, museums have adopted story lines for exhibitions, sites have accepted ‘theming’ as a relevant tool, and theme parks are moving towards more authenticity and research-based presentations. Similarly, animals in zoos are no longer kept in cages, but in great spaces, either in the open air or in enormous greenhouses, such as the jungle and desert environments in Burgers’ Zoo in Holland. This particular trend is regarded as one of the major developments in the presentation of natural history in the twentieth century.

4. Theme parks are undergoing other changes, too, as they try to present more serious social and cultural issues, and move away from fantasy. This development is a response to market forces and, although museums and heritage sites have a special, rather distinct, role to fulfill, they are also operating in a very competitive environment, where visitors make choice on how and where to spend their free time. Heritage and museum experts do not have to invent stories and recreate historical environments to attract their visitors: their assets are already in place. However, exhibits must be both based on objects and facts as we know them, and attractively presented. Those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history are thus in a difficult position, as they must steer a narrow course between the demands of ‘evidence’ and ‘attractiveness’ , especially given the increasing need in the heritage industry for money-generating activities.

5. It can be said that in order to make everything in heritage more ‘real’, historical accuracy must be more and more adapted to today’s reality. For example, Pithecanthropus erectus is depicted in an Indonesian museum with Malay facial features, because this corresponds to public perceptions. Similarly, in the Museum of Natural History in Washington, Neanderthal man is shown making a dominant gesture to his wife. Such presentations tell us more about contemporary perceptions of the world than about our ancestors. There is one compensation, however, for the professionals who make these interpretations: if they did not provide the interpretation, visitors would do it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices. And no matter how exciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias, or lack of objectivity, than the presentations provided by experts.

6. Human bias is inevitable, but another source of bias in the representation of history has to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves. The simple fact is that not everything from history survives the historical process. Castles, palaces and cathedrals have a longer lifespan than the dwellings of ordinary people. The same applies to the furnishings and other contents of the premises. In a town like Leyden in Holland, which in the seventeenth century was occupied by approximately the same number of inhabitants as today, people lived within the walled town, an area more than five times smaller than modern Leyden. In most of the houses several families lived together in circumstances beyond our imagination. Yet in museums, fine period rooms give only an image of the lifestyle of the upper class of that era. No wonder that people who stroll around exhibitions are filled with nostalgia; the evidence in museums indicates that life was so much better in the past. This notion is caused by the bias in its representation in museums and heritage centers.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that people who live in areas jostling with fast food outlets are constitutionally less able to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life. Apparently, it's not just a question of additives and sugar ruining their powers of 1)__: the Toronto research showed that just looking at a photograph of the McDonald's golden arch or KFC chicken is 2)__ to give you the fidgets. As a result, you're less likely to 3)__ images of natural beauty or an operatic aria than if you had dined at home with a proper knife and fork.

The panic around the moral and psychological damage of fast food – 4)__ the obesity debate – is a familiar one. Behind Jamie Oliver’s abhorrence of the Turkey Twizzler’s empty calories was always a much deeper suspicion of what it represented: ignorance, indifference, a wilful 5)__ to imagine a better way of feeding the future. It's for that reason that, back in the early 19th-century, moralists including William Cobbett churned out a whole array of 'cottage economies' and 'penny cookbooks' aimed at stopping the working classes from squandering money in the pie shop. These prim moral primers were full of bright suggestions for turning the scraggy end of lamb and on-the-turn turnips into 6)__ that not only nourished body and soul but also saved pennies for a rainy day.

Fifty years later, Mrs Beeton had the moral dangers of fast food in mind when she announced to her readers her reasons for writing her venerable cookbook: she wanted to 7)__ husbands away from the clubs and taverns into 8)__ they were apt to dive at the end of a long working day, desperate for a quick supper. Beeton's solution was to set 9)__ the weary home comer a series of delicious labour-intensive dishes – the sort of thing no short order cook would contemplate. Her soups often took 15 10)__ and required a 10-hour simmer. The point of all these initiatives, from Cobbett to Oliver, has always been 11)__ about getting nutritious food inside people than to teach them a lesson. Learning how to make and eat slow food is to develop a capacity for delayed gratification that, in turn, fits 12)__ maker and consumer for life under capitalism.

What all those Victorian moralists missed –13)__ as the Toronto report ignores – is that fast food is the emblematic product of maturing and late capitalism. Urban workers, forced to work longer and longer hours, do not have the time to invest in 14)__from scratch. Those who are obliged to live in shared accommodation and rented digs may not have the right equipment for making real food slowly (Agas don't fit into bedsits; microwaves do). When you are 15)__ after a 10-hour shift, then soup is fiddly to consume on the way home. Burgers and kebabs, by contrast, are easy to eat with one hand and require neither plates nor knives. Far from being the refuseniks of capitalism, unable to master its first principle of delayed gratification, the people who rely on fast food outlets are its honourable foot soldiers. We should salute them.
