music, go to an art gallery or concert or, of course, read a book. Sometimes it seems that

amount of time to finish a novel, for example. But in the (5)

that can be in short supply.
Book publishers haven't been (6)_______to realise this and are now selling a product which
needn't (7)_______ as much of your time but still tells you an excellent story. The new

anything. Much of their appeal (12)

the housework. For some people,

knowledge than reading.

THE PATHÈ FILM
COMPANY
In 1885, a Frenchman, Charles Pathè, created what later became France's most successful
film studios. By 1907, the company had (0)
enormously and had studios in France,
Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain and the USA. What seems surprising now that Hollywood

dominates the film (1)
is that a French company (2)
itself so well in the USA.
Pathè was one of the main film companies there at that (3)
,
hiring out its studios to other film-making companies (4)
distributing its own films.
However, (5)
Pathè was big in the USA, it was a giant in Europe. In 1913, the year
before the First World War (6)
, Pathè made no fewer than three hundred films. But the
war affected the company (7)
. Shortages of staff and equipment led to big (8)
in
production, and by 1918 output had (9)
to sixty-three films. From then on, Pathè (10)
on making fewer films of (11)
length and better quality.
Pathè was the first company to put out regular news films, which it started doing in 1903.
Each film lasted fifteen minutes and (12)
of six news items. From (13)
on, Pathè's
news department had branches all over Europe and later all over the world. By the 1970s, TV
news had completely (14)
the role of cinema news films and so the company stopped
making them. Today, Pathè is chiefly (15)
in TV, cinema and new video technology.

MARKETS
In practically any country in the (0)
, you are (1)
to find a market
somewhere. Markets have been with us since (2)______times, when people became selfsufficient and needed to exchange the goods they produced. For example, a farmer might
have exchanged a cow
(3) _________tools and so on. But just as times have (4)
, so have market practices. So,


(5) ______ in early times the main activity (6)
with markets would have been 'bartering',
meaning the exchange of goods as described (7)
, today most stall-holders wouldn't be
too
(8)
on accepting potatoes as payment, for instance, instead of cash.
In contrast, what might be a common (9)
in a modern market is a certain amount of
'haggling', where customer and seller eventually (10)
on a price, after what can
sometimes be quite a heated debate. This has become so popular in certain places that many
people think that this is what makes the (11)
atmosphere of a market. But (12)

as no two people are the same, no two markets are the same either, and so behaviour which
is expected in one market in one country may not be (13)
in another. Even within one
country, there are those markets where you could haggle quite (14)
and those
where you would be (15)
not to try!
