THE FUTURE OF ENTERTAINMENT More than ever, media is separating into mass market blockbusters on the one hand and ‘niche’ products attracting small groups of people with similar interests on the other. Everything else is struggling to compete. Joe Swanberg makes films about the romantic lives of young people in the city. He shoots quickly with a digital camera and asks actors to wear their own clothes. His lowbudget films are hardly ever shown in cinemas. By keeping his costs down and distributing digitally, Mr Swanberg is making a living. Technology was expected to help young people like him. A few years ago it was predicted that the internet would vastly increase the supply of small independent films and other niche media products and increase their audiences. That has certainly happened. However, so has the opposite. Blockbusters are also tightening their grip on audiences, whether it’s in the area of film, music, television or books. The growth of both niche products and huge sellout successes has been at the expense of the things in the middle which are just quite popular the nearmisses. There are several reasons why big hits still do so well. As in the past, people still want to have something to talk about with their friends. Which is why talent shows such as ‘American Idol’ do pretty much as well as they did ten years ago and why the latest blockbuster still breaks new records at the box office. Research shows that people still choose blockbusters more often than less wellknown books and films. This is probably because people tend to try only things they have heard of which for many people are limited to mediahyped blockbusters. However, some things are new. All the technology that has made niche content so much more accessible has also proved handy for pushing blockbusters. Missed the last popular film? Don’t worry, Trang 2/6 Mã đề thi 020
because there will be other chances to see it, in a wide variety of formats. Blockbusters are doing well not in spite of the fact that people have more choice in entertainment, but because of it. Imagine walking into a music shop which has more than 10 million songs, as iTunes does, all of them arranged alphabetically. Making up your mind would be impossible. So, rather than having to decide, it’s much easier to just grab what everybody is talking about. Is this increasingly more common separation into blockbusters and niches good or bad? It certainly makes life harder for media companies. In a world where entertainment choices are growing, it is more important than ever to make a big impact with your product. If it isn’t a hit, it will have to fight for attention together with thousands perhaps millions of other offerings. The possibility of failing can make people anxious and more conservative. Television programmes must be successful quickly or they will be cancelled. It is becoming even harder to talk the decisionmakers in the movie industry into approving films if they are not confident there is a demand for them. Yet this can be a big advantage for consumers. In the past, these powerful business people could get away with supplying content that was not that good to people who did not have much of a choice. These days, with so many options, there is rarely nothing good on television. So the media industry must raise its game. Intelligent people naturally wish that more money were available to produce the kind of music, films and television programmes they like. The problem is that everybody has different ideas about exactly what they want to watch. Some may love watching a programme about the history of dance; others may want to spend an hour being told how to look after pet snakes. But not many want to do either of these things, which explains why such programmes are niche products. There are only a few things that can be guaranteed to delight large numbers of people. They are known as blockbusters. Question 25: In paragraph 1 we learn that Joe Swanberg's films are________. A. often bought on DVD. B. rarely seen in cinemas.

A. are finding it more difficult to make an impression. B. know there is a growing demand for their products. C. can get financial backing quite easily.

B. like watching and talking about reality shows. C. prefer to see famous actors in films. D. only watch films recommended to them by friends.

IN THE NAME OF BEAUTY Cosmetics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup. Some of these used to improve one’s appearance. Others were used to protect one’s skin. However, cosmetics were in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous or even deadly! Skin care treatments including perfumes, lotions, and cosmetic masks were used in ancient Egypt by rich and poor alike. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptians, as well as other ancient cultures, used various powders on their skin for beauty as well. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Romans put white chalk on their faces. And Indians painted red henna on their bodies. Most of the ancient cosmetics were harmless. However, in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors today know lead is like a poison for our bodies. Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. These belladonna drops were made from a plant whose poison affects the nerves in the body. By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a woman’s pupils would become very large. People thought this made women more beautiful. Actually, this is where the plant’s name comes from. In Italian, belladonna means “beautiful woman.” When Elizabeth I was queen in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also being used by women in England. In particular, women were using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur. The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same colour as the queen’s hair, but over time, the dye made people’s hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs. [Source: Reading Challenge 2, Compass Publishing, 2010] Question 39: Where did Italian women apply lead powder? A.
