Surprises in the studio
“Five minutes to go,” shouted the director. “Is everyone ready?”
“I’m glad that I’m not one of the contestants!” Denise said. “I’m not that brave.”
“Oh, I’d love to be a contestant,” said Angela.
The three contestants were sitting at their desks on the stage and waiting. The hot lights were shining down upon them. Suddenly one of them passed out and fell across her desk.
A cameraman helped the woman off the stage.
The director hurried down from the control room above. “We need another contestant,” he shouted. “Who among you wants to be on the show?”
Angela raised her hand. “You’re on!” the director shouted. He led her onto the stage, and a make-up artist rushed forward. She quickly put make-up on Angela’s face and brushed her hair.
“Ten seconds,” shouted the director.
“It’s time for Around the World, and here’s your host, Lester!” said a loud voice. Lester ran out onto the stage. The quiz show began.
Although Angela was not prepared, she seemed relaxed and did really well. She answered the questions with no problems and was soon ahead of the other two contestants.
Twenty-five minutes later, Angela needed to answer six more questions correctly to beat the other contestants and to win the prize.
Denise was so excited that she could hardly keep still. Though the questions were getting more and more difficult, Angela kept getting them right. Soon there was just a single question between Angela and victory.
“And finally, which country covers five time zones, but has only one official time?” asked Lester.
“China,” replied Angela.
“Correct!” shouted Lester. “You’re tonight’s lucky winner. You’ve won the big prize—a trip for two to the lovely city of Paris!”

1. Did the staff in the TV studio act quickly or slowly? How did the writer describe their actions and body language? Find examples in the text.
2. Why did the writer use verbs like “hurried”, “shouted”, and so on? Why didn’t the writer use ordinary verbs like “walked”, “got”, “went” or “said” here?
The staff responded quickly. For example, “hurried” and “rushed” both mean that someone moved quickly from one place to another. Everyone worked together to solve the problem before the show.
