Unit 4 Reading practice
Cinema’s biggest star: money!
A What is the link between a lipstick, a calendar and jewellery?
The answer is the Twilight films. These are just some of the
products made by companies that paid film studios for the
rights to use images from the film series. Film-making is very
expensive, so studios look for as many ways as possible to
make money. But what do studios spend their money on?
B If a film is going to succeed, it needs a good director, and they
cost from $5 to $10 million per film. Casting famous actors as
the main characters can also help a film to do well, but this
makes a big hole in a film’s budget. Top actors expect salaries
of up to $30 million, with extra money for ‘essential’ luxuries
such as a five-star hotel suite during filming. Film production
is also incredibly expensive. The special effects for the
superhero film Spider-Man 2 cost an amazing $65 million!
C So how do film studios make a profit? In most cases, films
make money from ticket sales at the box office. This is
followed by DVD and internet sales, which are the only way
of seeing the film outside the cinema for several months after
its release. And the moment a film reaches the cinemas,
the merchandising begins. In recent years, films such as Toy
Story 3, the Cars series and the Harry Potter series have made
more money from merchandising than from ticket sales.
D So while film fans talk about the quality of a film’s plot, the
director’s skills or the actors’ performances, for the film-
makers there are more important considerations. Has the film
made enough money to repay the enormous investment that
has gone into making it? Will it make a profit so the studio can
go on to make more films? Without doubt, for the studios, a
great film is a film that makes a lot of money.
1 Find words in the text that mean:
1 objects that are worn as personal decoration (paragraph A)
________________
2 a plan of how to spend an amount of money over a period of
time (paragraph B) ________________
3 enjoyable and expensive things that a person doesn’t really
need (paragraph B) ________________
4 the money that you make when you sell something for more
than it cost you (paragraph C) ________________
5 products connected with a popular film or TV series
(paragraph C) ________________
2 Read the text and write true or false for sentences 1–5. Correct the false sentences.
1 Companies needed permission to make Twilight jewellery
and other products.

Setting a good example?
A For a lot of people, there is no doubt: the environmental
changes that are happening are caused by human activity. Over
200 years of industrialization have had a very negative effect
on the planet. Water and air pollution, a growing number of
endangered species, and the loss of natural resources are just a
few of the consequences.
B These environmental problems are mostly the responsibility of
Western countries. However, during the nineteenth century
and most of the twentieth century, nobody was aware of the
damage that we were causing. Now, the situation is different
and ecologists in the West are warning that the new industrial
nations in the developing world are damaging the planet too.
C Over the last 30 years, people in the West have adopted a
number of ‘green’ habits. Many people recycle materials, and
leave their cars at home and cycle to work. However, the same
people also listen to MP3 players or talk on mobile phones. In
fact, thanks to the dramatic increase in the use of electronic
gadgets, instead of reducing their carbon footprint, people in
the UK are using 20% more energy at home than they were 20
years ago.
D Our love of gadgets has no end, and the sale of these energy-
consuming devices is going to increase in the near future.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, in Britain, 45% of the
electricity used in homes in 2020 will be powering computers
and electronic gadgets. The International Energy Agency has
predicted that the amount of energy used globally to power
gadgets will have increased by 100% between 2009 and 2022.
Perhaps before warning others about their environmentally
damaging practices, we should first make a genuine effort to
stop our own.
