Many fans believe he had his drink spiked, but that was not the case. River had taken drugs of his own free will and lost his life to them. This is his story… 6 The early years On August 23, 1970, River was born in the commune where his parents used to live. River’s father John was made archbishop of a religious cult and the family set out for the jungles of South America to spread the Word. By the age of five, living in total poverty, River and his sister Rain were forced to beg on the streets of Caracas, Venezuela. At night the family slept on the beach. “It was disgusting,” River recalled afterwards. “We were living in a shack. It had no toilet and it was infested with rats.” 7 River’s dad became disillusioned with the cult. The Phoenix family, which by now included sister Liberty and brother Leaf, returned to the US. In 1978, after the birth of River’s youngest sister, named Summer, his mother Arlyn moved the family to Hollywood so the children could earn a living as performers. “We had a vision that our children could captivate the world,” she enthused. River’s agent quickly found him work on a number of commercials, but River hated doing them. “I felt the constant lying, smiling on cue and the product naming was going to drive me crazy,” he said. Fortunately, he got a part in a popular TV series Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Then, at 15, he appeared in the sci-fi film Explorers. The following year he won the role that made him famous, Chris Chambers in Stand By Me. 50 55 60 65 7 4 40 45 5 Fame and Fortune Suddenly River was a Hollywood name and girls everywhere were falling for his good looks. But the young actor was determined not to let the success go to his head. “People get lost,” he said, “they think they have it under control but their lives are in pieces.” The film offers rolled in. His next film was Mosquito Coast, with Harrison Ford. His Oscar nomination for Running on Empty confirmed River’s position on the A-list of Hollywood actors. A strict vegetarian, River used 70 75 his success to promote the benefits of a ‘clean’ lifestyle and spoke out against the fur trade and the destruction of the rainforests. And he talked about how easy it is for people in the movie business to slip into drug abuse. “You don’t have to seek it out,” he said, “it finds you… It’s so accessible. I hate all that.” Although by 1989 River’s career was going from strength to strength, his personal life was a very different story. Sometime, somewhere, River had begun dabbling with drugs and had quickly become addicted. The Hollywood publicity machine kept the news from his fans. Behind the scenes, River’s life was spiralling out of control. In 1993, from the set of his last unfinished movie, Dark Blood, he left a message on a friend’s answerphone saying: “I’m having a hard time keeping my head above water in this crazy business.” The last hours One evening after filming, River had met up with some friends at a club in LA. During the night he became hyperactive and suddenly began to vomit and started to shudder violently. Paramedics took him to a hospital. Blood samples indicated valium and cocaine at high levels. After 20 minutes in the emergency room, River was pronounced dead on 31 October, 1993. A medic at the scene said: “It was the classic cocaine overreaction. It just nails people and stops the heart.” ‘Sugar’ 400009-1-630-515o 6 ga naar de volgende pagina 1p z 6 What becomes clear about River’s family according to paragraph 2?

D They were involved in illegal activities. 1p z 7 Kies bij 7 in alinea 2 het juiste antwoord uit de gegeven mogelijkheden.

B He had grown tired of promoting goods he did not believe in. C He was glad to be able to help his family. 1p z 9 What did River mean when he said: ‘People get lost’ (line 42)? A It is frustrating that girls are only interested in the appearance of a male actor. B It is not easy for an actor to decide in which film to appear. C It is very difficult for famous people to deal with being a star. 1p z 10 ‘I hate all that.’ (lines 54-55) What is it that River hated? A ‘River’s position on the A-list of Hollywood actors’ (lines 47-48) B ‘the benefits of a “clean” lifestyle’ (lines 49-50) C ‘the fur trade and the destruction of the rainforests’ (lines 50-51) D ‘how easy it is for people in the movie business to slip into drug abuse’ (lines 52-53) 1p { 11 Volgens alinea 6 is er sprake van een tegenstelling in het leven van River.

A Amy B Gijandra C Leo WHY CAN’T I KISS? Q: My boyfriend finished with me the day after our first kiss. He went round telling everybody that I couldn’t kiss and some of his friends are now calling me ‘fish lips’. What did I do wrong? I don’t think I’ll ever kiss anybody again. Amy (17) A: The only thing you did wrong was get involved with this lad in the first place. He obviously used your kissing encounter as a way of backing out without making himself look stupid. He was completely insensitive to your feelings and is clearly not worth worrying over. He said what he did to try and impress his mates and as for them calling you fish lips, try to ignore it. Don’t let this boy put you off, I’m sure there are lots of lads who would like to share a snog with you. FORBIDDEN LOVE Q: I am an Asian girl and my religion does not allow boyfriends. My parents are also very strict about this. I am not allowed to date anybody and they worry when I talk to boys. I have started going out with a boy and I have fallen in love with him. If my parents found out, they would be very disappointed in me and would never let me see him again. I can’t talk to anybody in my family. What can I do? Gijandra (16) A: You need to tell your parents and explain the situation. They might understand. They would be more disappointed if they found out you were lying to them. Tell them how you feel about this boy and suggest a meeting. They might like him. Chances are they won’t react as badly as you expect. If your parents truly aren’t happy about you having a boyfriend and feel you are betraying your religion you may have to decide if your relationship with this boy is really worth the hassle. I’M SO SHY Q: Can you help me? I’m scared of meeting people. I’m a shy, quiet person and can’t mix very well with new people. I like reading and music and am happy with my own company. But others of my age seem to be going out and having a good time and I’m worried I’m missing out. I have a few close friends I get on well with, but am beginning to wonder if I’m normal. Shouldn’t I be going to pubs and clubs? Leo (18) A: The first thing is, don’t worry! You’re normal! Lots of people suffer from shyness, and not everybody likes to live it up in a crowded pub or noisy nightclub. It’s not always the fun others make it out to be. If you do want to go out more, why not ask your friends if you could join them next time they have a date? If they’re good friends, they wouldn’t mind and would probably welcome your company. But be positive and you may be surprised at how much you have to offer others. 400009-1-630-515o 8 ga naar de volgende pagina TEKST 8 1p z 14 400009-1-630-515o Waar wil deze advertentie de lezers toe overhalen?

THEY’RE RENOWNED FOR BEING THE LIFE AND SOUL OF THE PARTY. BUT IF A BRUNETTE TURNS BLONDE CAN IT CHANGE HER LIFE? A WOMAN TELLS HER STORY. 1 5 2 10 15 3 20 25 4 30 35 FLIC EVERETT, 28, a journalist from Sale, in Manchester, says: “I dyed my hair blonde 10 years ago to attract the man I fancied. I decided I was going to go for it and make myself impossible to ignore. So I paid ₤40 to have my dark brown hair lightened to golden yellow, and I bought a red dress. I need hardly say, it worked a treat. Blonde hair really did seem to have an effect on men. I loved it. Complete strangers would wink and grin for no reason. For a couple of months, I adored the attention. The bloke in question was now keen. Whenever I went out I got chatted up, and people referred to me as “a blonde”. I felt like a girl in an advert, all light-hearted and carefree. My friends said it suited me, too. But that was before the roots started showing. After a few weeks, I looked like a tragic heroin 6 addict. Another ₤40 later, my hair was back to its golden hue, but my love for blonde was fading. I also began to notice that all these newly-keen men paid far more attention to my breast size than my IQ size. They assumed that a blonde was as dim as a one-watt bulb, and were accordingly amazed when I said anything even half-interesting. I began to look longingly at pictures of Isabella Rossellini, the way I’d once looked at pictures of Michelle Pfeiffer. And one day, I bought a packet of dark brown dye, and went back to normal. It was such a relief. No-one looked at me in the street, no-one talked to my chest. People sometimes even listened when I spoke. I missed the attention for a while, but it hadn’t 7 really been me anyway. As a brunette, I had a lot more fun, I didn’t feel like I had to prove myself. And as for the bloke I’d dyed it for – he went off with another brunette in the end.” 45 50 55 60 65 The Verdicts 5 40 Christian Gardiner, UK head of colour at Vidal Sassoon, says: “Blonde hair is younger-looking, it reflects light across the face, and makes hair look thicker. Going blonde is as good as having a holiday. It’s a complete change – 400009-1-630-515o 10 70 women often change their make-up and their clothes, too. Blondes aren’t stupid, but they do get more attention. Women nearly always love being blonde, but sometimes their husbands don’t, because that extra attention makes them jealous. Going blonde makes a woman stand tall and gives her extra confidence. I think every woman should be blonde at some time in her life.” Liz Baker, a Colour Me Beautiful consultant, says: “Women go blonde generally to look and feel brighter and because it’s more noticeable. But some women come in and say they don’t want to be blonde any more, because they aren’t taken as seriously at work as before. And then there’s your wardrobe. If you go blonde, you’ll find different clothes suit you. Darker or bright colours can make you look washed out – navy and lighter shades work well. However, pastels aren’t very professional – which is another reason blondes may not be taken seriously.” Hal Beloff, a psychologist at Edinburgh University, says: “The attraction of blondness is all about first impression. After the first meeting, you want to know what kind of person she is – and that goes way beyond hair colour. Usually, women who dye their hair blonde are also the women who want to be appreciated by men, who smile and laugh at men’s jokes. Men may be attracted to the childlike quality of blonde hair, because it implies that the blonde woman won’t be their rival. And if you’ve bothered to dye your hair, that may well be true!” ‘Personal, Sunday Mirror’ ga naar de volgende pagina 1p { 15 Æ Waarom heeft Flic Everett haar haren geblondeerd, volgens alinea 1? 1p z 16 Who is meant by ‘The bloke in question’ (line 11)? the man who A advised Flic to change the colour of her hair B dyed Flic’s hair from brown to blonde C had always shown a lot of interest in Flic D was the object of Flic’s attention 1p z 17 Why does Flic compare herself with a ‘tragic heroin addict’ (lines 17-18)? because of A the amount of money her new hair style had cost B the kind of attention men gave her new hair style C the way her new hair style looked after a while 1p z 18 What did blonde-haired Flic find out about men, according to paragraph 3?

His company, Animal Ark, supplies all creatures great and small for TV shows, films and adverts.

A 100-metre section of the four-lane bridge, which connects the cities of Kaohsiung and Pingtung, fell but the road surface was not under water, and 16 stranded automobiles were evacuated. A Kaohsiung county fire department official told cable broadcaster ETV that 20 people had been hospitalised with minor injuries. The official said that witnesses gave conflicting accounts, with Pingtung-bound drivers saying they saw automobiles fall into the water, and Kaohsiung-bound travellers saying that no cars had fallen off the bridge into the Gaoping River. About three hours after the collapse at 3pm local time (0700 GMT) military, police and fire department rescuers were searching downstream for signs of vehicles that may have been washed down the river, the official said.

He can already count famous stars as Snoop Doggy Dogg and Madonna among his friends and fans. 1 5 10 2 15 20 3 25 30 4 35 40 H ow do you entertain the world’s coolest kid on his visit to London? When he’s at home in America, Shad parties with Puff Daddy, works with 5 stars like Snoop Doggy Dogg and Destiny’s Child and sometimes meets Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan at the same party. Fortunately, like for any 14-year-old kid, a trip to the Trocadero, London’s biggest games arcade, is just as exciting. “London is great,” he says. “I have been shopping. I bought sneakers, four computer games and three DVDs. And I have been playing basketball. When I’m done rapping, I’m going to play for the Lakers.” It seems cruel to spoil the kid’s dreams, but with only 140 centimetres he is likely to be a bit short for a basketball player. But not to worry, he has back-up plans. After graduating from Harvard University, he says he will become the biggest rap star on the planet and then he’ll make movies. Back in the States, Shad is so hot that, last month, Madonna was on the phone. “She said she really wanted me to do a television show with her. I said: ‘Sure, why not?’ It was crazy, we did two days of rehearsals for one song. I had to drive her limo on stage, then I was dancing. She asked me to make her look good. I said: ‘Madonna, no 7 problem.’” To Shad, all this celebrity attention seems 35 . It’s probably because he has been in the rap business for as long as he can remember. He was five when he talked his mother Teresa – now his manager and stylist – into taking him to see Dr. Dre’s Chronic Tour. Snoop Doggy Dogg spotted him in the crowd and hauled him on stage. “I went up there, began rapping, and the crowd started throwing all this money at 45 50 70 75 80 me,” he recalls. “Next thing you know, Snoop wants me backstage. So I went and he and Dr. Dre asked if I would finish the tour with them. The next day I was in L.A., opening the show.” Shad had already taught himself to rap by watching famous rappers like Ice-T and Tupac on MTV and singing to his mother’s kitchen utensils. But it was Snoop Doggy Dogg who changed his name to ‘Lil Bow Wow’ and gave him his special hairstyle. A year later he was a guest artist on Snoop’s multimillion selling album Doggystyle and he had 55 contributed a song to Will Smith’s Wild Wild West movie soundtrack. The dope-smoking, foul6 mouthed Snoop may be a bad 60 example, but Shad hasn’t let fame go to his head. Although it took a while to get him to stop playing basketball and sit down for an interview, he 65 turns out to be polite and wellmannered. “Shad hasn’t changed,” his mother insists. “He doesn’t show off about all the money that he makes, though I had to stop him buying a diamond watch the other day.” Otherwise, Shad is setting a good example to his young fans. At concerts last year in America, he was mobbed by hundreds of female fans, but he says he is still too young for a girlfriend. What’s more, he has made a point of not swearing in his songs. “When I rapped on Doggystyle, Snoop had me cursing. But I don’t do that anymore. There are a lot of kids out there who can’t buy records with bad words.
