Module 5 Reading

II) Read the text and do the following exercises about it:

Next week Ruth Davison will spend 10 per cent of her annual salary. She is going to hear Barbra Streisand sing. Miss Davidson, an office clerk, has bought seats for all four of Barbra Streisand’s concerts in London, at & 260 a ticket.

However, that is not as much as she spent on flying to Las Vegas to see Streisand’s $ 1,000 – a ticket show three months ago. It is also not as much as she spent on a Beverly Hills show that she flew to California for. It was there that Miss Davison, 32, met and spoke to Streisand. “I said I’d come all the way from England. She said “Oh, good,” and smiled nicely. That made it worth the money.”

Most of Streisand’s fans are not rich. Many, like Miss Davison, are prepared to spend all their savings to see one of the last superstars in the world.

“I can’t think of anything I would rather spend my money on.” Says Miss Davison. “I’ve spend thousands and thousands of pounds over the years. Any spare money I’ve got goes on Barbra. No one else can sing like her. It touches you deep inside and makes you want to get to know her. I feel know her well now. I feel she is an old friend. “

“ I can feel her feelings. I believe she worries a lot and I don’t think she’s very confident. But she’s done a lot for women. She has made it possible for them to become film directors. She was one of the very first.”
