1998 was the “National Year of Reading” in the UK. Everyone, from babies to pensioners, was
invited to take part in the campaign which was launched by Government minister, David Blunkett.
“The campaign aims to encourage parents, grandparents and friends to read and to get children
to read,” he said. “It’s also about finding volunteers who will give a little time, both in and out of
school.” Part of the reason for the promotion is that around 40% of 11-year-olds are not reaching
expected standards in national tests in English. Particular efforts will be made to help boys, who
lag behind girls in English throughout their school careers. In a pilot scheme begun six years ago
with 300 Birmingham families, babies were given free books at their nine-month health check.
Both their literacy and numeracy had benefited by the time they started school.

The new millennium
A look on the bright side
Speak Up. Setembro 1998 – n 140 (adapted)
If the forecasts made twenty-five years ago were true, we
could confidently expect to be living now on a dying,
denuded planet. The catastrophes predicted for the late
1990s included the exhaustion of mineral resources, food
shortages and increasing pollution. Predictions state that
hundreds of millions of people would starve to death in
the 1970s and 1980s, and all important animal life in
the sea would be extinct by September 1979.
On the other hand, the futurologists Herman Khan
and Julian Simon predicted that the world in 2000 would
be less polluted, and that the perspective for food and other
necessities of life would be better.
But what is the environmental situation of the planet now,
when we approach the beginning of a new millennium?

Hollywood
Hollywood was once all farmland. By 1910, however, filmmakers began moving there. Southern
California’s climate was perfect for shooting movies year-round. And the area had settings for just
about any movie — it had mountains, desert, and ocean. Soon “Hollywood” came to mean “the
American film industry.”
Today, of the major studios, only Paramount is still in Hollywood. If you go to Hollywood looking
for glamour and movie stars, you’ll probably be disappointed: Downtown Hollywood looks
somewhat rundown, and the stars are nowhere to be found. But then you’ll get over your
disappointment: Hollywood is no longer what it once was, but it still feels like Hollywood.
