Highclere Castle

n ear Newbury in Berkshire, UK

he castle has b een ' owned by the Carnarvon family since 1679, and the
Earl and Countess Carnarvon currently live there. In 2010, movie director
Julian Fellowes, a close friend of the family, was planning a new TV series
about an aristocratic family and their servants during the early 20th century.
While he was staying at Highclere Castle, he realized that it would be the
perfect place to set his historical drama, and the castle w as2___________ into
Downton Abbey, the home of the fictional Crawley family. The series was a
huge success, and it has been sold all over the world. Both the interior and
exterior scenes were shot in and around the castle itself.

Cortlandt Alley

New York City, USA

In the second season of the TV series, the castle is used as a hospital during
the First World War. These scenes a re 3___________ on a real-life event. In 1914,
Lady Almina Carnarvon allowed soldiers who had been wounded to be taken
care of in the castle.

n Hollywood’s version of New York City, the giant
metropolis is full of secret alleys where crimes take
place, and criminals are chased by the police. In fact,
there are hardly any alleys in New York today at all. Ont
of the few remaining ones, Cortlandt Alley, has been
2___________ for almost all the alley scenes in movies
and TV series that are set in New York City. Movies with
scenes that were shot there include Crocodile Dundee
and Men in Black 3, and TV series like Blue Bloods,
Boardwalk Empire, NYPD Blue, and Law & Order.

Casa Loma

Toronto, Canada
his Gothic Revival style building, with a
spectacular tower, w as7___________ by
Canadian architect E.J. Lennox. The original
owner, Sir Henry Mill Pellatt spent $3.5 million
and hired 300 workers to construct the building.
After three years, the castle was finally completed
in 1914. Unfortunately, in 1933, ihe city of Toronto
seized Casa Loma from Pellatt for nonpayment
o f taxes. After several years of neglect, the castle
was scheduled for demolition, but it was saved by
the Kiwanis Club—a service club that helps the
homeless, the hungry, and other disadvantaged
people. The club still holds meetings there today!
During World War II, equipment designed to find

underwater enemy boats was made in the castle.
Because of its unusual look, the castle has been
used as a location in several well-known movies
such as X-Men, Chicago, and Scott Pilgrim vs.
the World. In addition, author Eric Wilson was

Whether it's a photo of you on a night out or of you

represent you on social netw orking site s sa y s a lot
about you.
Profile pictures on Facebook and similar sites are the
visual projection to friends and family of w ho you are and
w hat you are like. On Twitter,
where people follow both
friends and strangers, profile
pictures are smaller and
perhaps more significant.
They are often the
first and only visual
introduction people
have to each other.
So what does your

profile photo say

60

6B


Yes

appearance matters.

hen S u sa n Boyle first walked onto the stage
of the Britain's Got Talent T V show, people
im m ediately thought that she looked like a
47 -year-old single woman who lived alone with
her cat (which in fact she was). N obody thought for a minute
that she had a chance of d o ing well on the show, or could
ever become a star. But when she opened her mouth and
started sin g in g I Dreamed a Dream,
from the m usical Les Miserables,
everybody w as amazed. After the
video of her performance went
viral, journalists started talking
about how w rong it is to stereotype
people into categories, and how we
should learn, once and for all, “not to
judge a book by its cover.”

W

m ost stereotypes are linked to judging whether a person
looks dangerous or not. “In prehistoric times, it was
important to stay away from people who looked aggressive
and dominant,” she said.
O ne reason why our brains persist in u sin g stereotypes,
experts say, is that often they give u s generally accurate
information, even if all the details aren’t right.
Ms. Boyle’s appearance, for example,
accurately told u s a lot about her,

including her socioeconom ic level
and lack of worldly experience.
People’s enthusiasm for Susa n
Boyle, and for other underdogs who
end up winning, is unlikely to
stop us from stereotyping
people. T h is may be one
of the reasons why,
although Ms. Boyle
expressed the
hope that
“m aybe this
could teach
them a
lesson, or set
an example,”
she did begin
to change
her appearance,
w earing makeup,
dyin g her gray hair,
and appearing in more
stylish clothing.

But social scientists say that
there are reasons why we
judge people based on how
they look. O n a very basic
level, judging people by
their appearance m eans

putting them quickly into
categories. In the past,
being able to do this was
vitally important, and
hum ans developed the
ability to judge other
people in seconds.
Su sa n Fiske, a professor
of psychology and
neuroscience at
Princeton University,
said that traditionally,

NOT W I SH I N G “ GOOD L U C K ”
Generally, it is considered bad luck to wish someone “good
luck” in a theater. Before a performance, it is traditional for
the cast to get together and prevent bad luck by wishing each
other bad luck. English actors used to say to each other “I hope
you break a leg,” and even today actors and musicians often
say "break a leg” to each other instead of “good luck" before
they go on stage.

NOT W ITHOUT A N AUDIENCE
it is considered bad luck to complete a performance of a play
when there is no audience. For this reason actors never say
the last line of a play during rehearsals, or some production
companies allow a limited number of people (usually friends,
family, and reviewers) to attend the dress rehearsals.

WHISTLING
It is considered bad luck for an actor to whistle on or off
stage. Original stage crews were often hired from ships
that were in port, and whose sailors were temporarily
unemployed. These sailors, as they did on ships, often used
special whistles to communicate scene changes to each
other. If an actor whistled, this could confuse the sailors into
changing the set or scenery at the wrong time.

Three in a row p. 106.

A lot of people wonder why so many Chinese
children are math geniuses and musical prodigies.
Amy Chua explains why in her book Battle Hymn
of the Tiger Mother. It is a book that caused great
controversy among parents when it was first
published.2_________________ , Chua married
a man who she met at Harvard University, and
when their two daughters were born she was
determined that they would be as successful as
she was.
Her system had strict rules. Her two
daughters were expected to be number one
in every subject (except gym and drama) and
3___________________ . Playing with friends and
TV was forbidden. Music was required.
The system seemed at first to be working. From
a very early age her daughters Sophia and Lulu
were outstanding students and musical prodigies.

w as published. D o you agree w ith any o f them ?

Wow, w hat a different way o f looking a t how to learn!
Amy Chua certainly shows that strict discipline works.

But personally I think that being positive and encouraging
children is better than being so strict.
At 13 Sophia played a piano solo at Carnegie Hall in New
York City, and at 12, Lulu a violinist, was the leader of a
prestigious orchestra for young people. Chua chose math
and music for her daughters, but it seems that they could
have excelled in anything. 4_________________________ .

I disagree with the idea that children on their own never
want to work. My son was motivated by him self to succeed
in music. I f having strict and pushy parents is w hat it takes
to be a child prodigy, then I fe e l sorry fo r the child. Yes, they
might be very successful, but at w hat cost? W hat is the rest
o f their life going to be like?

Eventually Chua realized that she was pushing her daughters
too hard. Lulu had always rebelled the most, and when she
was 13 she refused to cooperate at all. After a series of
violent arguments, Chua decided to give her daughters a
little more freedom, and Lulu immediately gave up violin
lessons and took up tennis.5___________________ .

I agree that no m atter w hat we do in life, hard work is
required to be successful. T h at’s a great lesson to learn.
BUT, it should be accom panied by love and respect fo r
the child.

Many people have been shocked by the book.
6___________________ . She once sent her daughter Lulu,
aged three, into the yard without her coat when it was 21°F

because she had behaved badly at her first piano lesson.
However, the girls do not seem to resent their mother.
Sophia said that she herself chose to accept the system,
and after the book was published, she wrote an article
defending her mother. Lulu says that although she no longer
wants to be a violinist, she still loves playing the violin.
7___________________ . Sophia is
now studying law at Harvard, and
Lulu is doing well in high school
and winning tennis trophies.
Interestingly Chua, who was brought
up in a family of four girls, has no
idea whether she could apply her
Chinese parenting system to boys.

peace and quiet. Eventually he found the perfect house, in the small
town o f K lin . It was 52 miles northwest o f Moscow, and he lived
there until his death on Novem ber 6 , 1893. It is the place where

he wrote his last m ajor work, Symphony No. 6, or the Pathetique as it’s
som etimes called.
It’s a gray wooden house w ith a green roof. Tchaikovsky’s servant
Alexei lived on the first floor, and the kitchen and dining room were
on the second floor. Tchaikovsky him self lived on the third floor. T h e
living room and study, where his piano is located, is the largest room

in the house, and there is a fireplace and a bookcase with his music
books. His w riting desk, where he wrote letters every m orning after
breakfast, is at the end o f the room . But the place where he com posed
music was in his bedroom , on a plain, unpainted table
overlooking the yard.
