Reading 1.
Read the text and match each paragraph of the text(1-6) with a title ( A-G).There is one extra
title.

Up in the Air
Call the police ! Its BASE jumping.
1. There are some ordinary sports which almost everybody can learn, like snowboarding
or skating. They are also perhaps not very risky. But Base jumping is one of the
extreme sports and it is very dangerous. You jump off a building or a bridge with a
parachute. You usually open your parachute as late as possible.
2. Base jumping began at El Capitan, a 915-metre-high mountain in Yosemite, an
American park. In 1978 some people jumped from the mountain with parachutes.
People jump there today, too. However, a very popular form of this extreme sport
today is jumping not from the mountains in the country but from tall buildings in the
cities.
3. Some people base jump from 76-metre buildings. That isnt very high! You have to
open your parachute very quickly after you jump. You have to fall well and watch the
ground .Are there people there? Turn your parachute and move away. Quickly you
dont have much time. And are there police there?
4. Just because base jumping is so dangerous, in the US the police put base jumpers in
prison. John Vincent of New Orleans jumped from a tall building in St. Louis. The
police were there when he came down. He went to prison for ninety days after the
jump. But go to France, Norway or Brazil and you can jump without any problems.
5. Base jumping today is not just a hobby, but an organization with special offers and
bonuses for its members. It started in 1981 when Phil Smith and Jean Boenisch
founded the US BASE Association. Do you want to become a member? Its easy :
you have to do 100 skydives and then you get a Base number. Phil Smith of Houston,
Texas is Base 1.

6. People say they do base jumping because the world is beautiful when you see it from
above. And because its dangerous. About one person each year dies after a jump.
Base jumper Rick Harrison broke his legs on a jump. He shows you his leg and tells
you about it. Then he finds a building or a bridge and jumps again!
A. 3. How to do a good base jump?

Business Associations
People transact business in different ways. The simplest one is the sole propriertorship.
This means that a business, for example a shop, is owned by only one person. This is also
called sole trader.
There are associations called partnerships in which two or more people decide to enter into
business contributing either with their work (working partner) or with their capital (sleeping
partner). In general a contract is signed specifying each persons obligations and the
amount of profits to be received. This contract is very important because it provides solution
to conflicts in case of disagreements or problems between partners. In most cases partners
invest equal capital, get equal profits, and share authority. Partnerships are also categorized
as if LIMITED LIABILITY ,which means that each partner is liable , in case of bankruptcy,

only for the money invested in the business. On the other hand, in case of partnerships of
UNLIMITED LIABILITY, partners are responsible not only for the money invested in the
business but also for their private assets.
A corporation is another kind of business association. It is owned by stockholders who
invest money in a business by buying shares. A stockholder owns part of the company
proportional to the number of shares he has bought. Generally stockholders do not take part
in controlling the business. They hire the most efficient person they can find to manage the
business. If a business fails, the stockholders lose only the money they have paid for the
shares. If the business is profitable, they can make good money.
