The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums

devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the United States

is a great collection displayed in a great country house. Passing through successive

Line generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private estate for more than a

(5) century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it between 1929 and 1931, the

house remained a family residence. This fact is of importance to the atmosphere and

effect of the museum. The impression of a lived-in house is apparent to the visitor; the

rooms look as if they were vacated only a short while ago ― whether by the original

owners of the furniture of the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of

(10) personal interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of

furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English country

house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and manner of

displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes have coincided

with developing concepts of the American arts, increased knowledge on the part of

(15) collectors and students, and a progression toward the achievement of a historical effect

in period-room displays. The rooms at Winterthur have followed this current, yet still

retained the character of a private house.

The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually over

the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that would show them to

(20) grater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer. Comparable to the

habitat group in a natural history museum, the period room represents the decorative

arts in a lively and interesting manner and provides an opportunity to assemble objects

related by style, date, or place of manufacture.

I. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. ____________________________ Playing football on the beach, samba dancing at night, relaxing with a delicious ice-cold fruit juice in an outdoor café, meeting sociable, hospitable people: this is what I think of when I remember the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. ____________________________ Rio is called "The Marvellous City" for a good reason. It is in an extraordinary location in Guanabara Bay, surrounded by spectacular mountains and by impressive sandy beaches facing south onto the Atlantic. The views almost everywhere in the city are breathtaking. ____________________________ There is something to do in Rio 24/7. In the morning, you can visit the centre with its museums and picturesque, historic churches or go up Mount Christ with Corcovado to see the eye-catching statue of Christ with its stunning views. In the afternoon, you can relax on the beach and watch the world go by or join in a football game with the welcoming, good-natured locals. Or you can go to the striking Maracana Stadium to watch the professionals play. At night, there is music and dancing everywhere. Even if you are not a brilliant samba dancer, you will have an amazing time. ____________________________ Of course, Rio does have problems. There are enormous areas of depressing slums on the hills around the city and violent crime can be a problem, though the situation has improved recently. However, for me Rio is one of the most fascinating places in the world and Cariocas the warmest people, so I cannot wait to go back!

City Life or Country Life? Which place is the better - the city or the country? Two American teenagers talk about where they live. Leo, 16: I live in New York and it’s great. There are huge shopping centres and interesting places to go. My mum loves all the art galleries and museums, but I like Central Park where I go skateboarding. It's big enough to get away from the noise and traffic. The country isn't for me. It isn’t exciting enough for people of my age. Most people don't live close enough to their friends to have enough a good social life. It's too quiet and too boring. City life is the best. Amelie, 14: I live on a ranch in the country, in Colorado. In the summer, we go hiking in the mountains, and in the winter I go snowboarding. I really like it because it's relaxing and quiet. I can’t imagine life in the city. It isn't safe enough to walk around alone and it’s too dangerous to cycle in the streets because of the traffic. Overall, I think the city is too noisy, too dirty, too crowded and too expensive. I prefer country life!

2. What doesn't he like about the country? _______________________________________________________________________________________
