Question

Прочитайте текст о новом виде спорта — о паркуре. определите, какие из утверждений 1-4 соответствуют содержанию текста ( a-true ), какие не соответствуют ( 2- false) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (3- not stated). “parkour” - or free running – is the fast-growing extreme sport that turns everyday urban landscapes into obstacle courses. loosely translated, “le parkour” means “using every object in your path as an obstacle”. it began in 1987 in the paris suburbs, where bored teenagers se ”interesting” involved climbing up buildings, swinging around lamp posts and vaulting anything that stayed still. with six friends, they set up “yamakasi”- a group which later split when five of them opted to take work as theatre acrobats, but not before it had lead to a 2001 film off the same name. nowadays it’s a global phenomenon. the uk-based parkour website gets 10,000 visitors a day. foucan is surprised to say the least. “for me, it’s amazing but it’s my goal to meet people from all over the world and to spread the philosophy,” he says. this philosophy is all about challenging and improving yourself. that’s why there are no competitions in parkour, and definitely no world records. there have been serious setbacks. one person died after trying some of the moves in the yamakasi film. and since the rise of parkour’s popularity amongst the general public there have been more than a few broken bones. the key thing is that you must learn how to roll. if you can roll – across your shoulders, never on your spine – it transfers the energy so you don’t get hurt. you land, you roll, you stand up and you keep running. and if you are going to leap from a tall building, or even just off the back of your sofa, you should know how to land properly. but as the saying goes, it s practice that makes perfect. and you have to be able to suppress any doubts or fears. when you get scared, your muscles become tense and you’re more likely to lose coordination. if the fear gets to you, it’s all over, so you really have to have confidence in your training. 1. “free running” was invented in france. a) true b) false c) not stated 2. foucan knew it would become this popular. a) true b) false c) not stated 3. people who like parkour meet every year to practice it. a) true b) false c) not stated 4. fear has a bad effect on your coordination. a) true b) false c) not stated
