The Art of Acting.

In England, the first real actors were amateurs who performed Miracle and Morality plays, which were religious in character. Only at the time of Shakespeare there were six companies of boys actors. The first part played by an actress was that of Desdemona, it was only in the first half of the 17^th century.

It was very difficult for most actors to earn a living on the stage, and many of them fell into debt. When Shakespeare arrived in London in 1586, the acting was very crude and conventional. There was almost no scenery, and the actors were dressed in the costumes of their day. But when “The Globe” was opened to the public in 1599, it started the golden age of the theatre in England.

I. Прочитайте и переведите текст со словарём. Milton Friedman Milton Friedman was a U.S. economist. In 1976 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics. Friedman can be classified as a monetarist and he is widely regarded as the leading proponent of that economic school of thought. He argued that there is a close and stable link between inflation and the money supply, rejects the use of fiscal policy as a tool of demand management and holds that the government’s role in the management of the economy should be severely restricted. Friedman wrote a veritable tome on the subject of the Great Depression, which he called the Great Contraction, attributing it to the failure of The Federal Reserve. He also argued for the cessation of intervention in exchange markets, as well as the practice of freely floating exchange rates.
