Cutting the Apron Strings
There is substantial evidence that students going off to college have changed over the years. For one
thing, studies show that they are emotionally closer to their parents and their parents to them. One thing that
means is that they depend on each other more for happiness. It puts a burden on children for parents to use
their children as vehicles for their own happiness — although today's young people seem complicit in this
arrangement, perhaps because they've known no other way — even if it creates anxiety in the children. That's
one reason parents like to be involved in their children's college experiences, and colleges have had to devise
novel ways of getting parents off campus when they transport their kids to school.
There's also evidence that students today seem to be choosing schools with reference to proximity to
home. The closer a student is to home, the easier it is to bring the laundry home and to land in your old bed
with tea and sympathy when you have the sniffles. And the easier it is for parents to visit you at university

Yehudi went rushing back to practise. On one occasion another famous violinist and a pianist were giving a
performance together when the violinist got lost in the music. He anxiously looked to the pianist for help and
whispered "Where are we?". He received the less than helpful reply "In the Carnegie Hall".
Rock and roll made its first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in 1955 with Bill Haley and his Comets.
In 1964 the British invasion arrived when the Beatles played their first concert here. On the day of the concert,
cars came to a halt all over the city and the crowds surrounding the building were enormous. Fortunately, in
all the chaos nobody was seriously injured and the Hall escaped with only minor damage.
In the 1950s the building was threatened with demolition but a vigorous campaign to save it was led
by the conductor, Isaac Stern. In 1960 the Hall was purchased by the City of New York and a few years later
it was named a national landmark. Over the years the most famous musicians, singers and entertainers in the
world have appeared there - no doubt they will continue to do so for many years to come.
Question 45: What do we learn about Andrew Carnegie?
A. He gave most of his money to the Hall.
В. Не gave most of his money to the Hall.
С. Не renamed the Hall
D. He felt honoured when the name was changed.
Question 46: Why was the audience surprised at the lecture in the first year?
A. People had not been expecting to see slides.
B. People thought that the special effects were frightening.
С. People had expected the lecture to be rather more dramatic.
D. People had thought they were going to hear a straightforward lecture.
Question 47: What would seem to be special about Yehudi Menuhin's appearance at the Hall in 1927?
A. Не was very young at the time.
B. He did no practising for the concert at all. С. Не had
played here before.
D. He had not appeared on a stage before.
Question 48: Why do you imagine he went to practice after speaking to the security guard?
A. Не believed what the guard had told him.
B. Не thought the guard would attack him.
C. He wanted to find out what the axe was for.
