The Japanese love inventing and they are very good at it. But there is one inventor who has invented

more things than anyone else in Japan - Dr. Nakamats. He has designed over 4,000 new inventions over the
last fifty years. He is most well-known for his unusual inventions.

He designed many strange things such as glasses which look like eyes so you can't notice them, shoes

which have steel springs so that youcan jump in them, and a pillow which stops you from faling asleep
when you are driving.

How does he come up with these ideas? He finds listening to Beethoven helpful. But the thing that
makes him most creative is holding his breath underwater. He dives into his swimming pool every day and
stays underwater as long as he can. He believes that less oxygen in the brain is good for new ideas. He also
dives
with apencil and anotebook which he invented. He needs to write down his ideas immediately in the
water because they disappear quickly.

Dr. Nakamats believes that eating the right food is important for creativity, and he has invented some

snacks that he says are good for your brain. He has also invented an amchair which helps to enhance your

brainpower. He sits in the chair every day to give him more good ideas. Dr. Nakamats is now in his

eighties, but he plans to live until he is 144 years old, so he stillhas plenty of time to develop even more

new ideas.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Action movies are exciting and a lot of fun to watch, but they also involve scenes of great risk and
danger. In the language of filmmaking, dangerous actions are called stunts. Who performs these stunts? This
work is too dangerous for regular actors. Movie companies usually hire special stunt people to stand in for

the actors in scenes that are unsafe.

Movie producers don't like to let actors do their own stunt work. If the actors injure themselves, it can

delay the production schedule. Using stunt people also saves time. Most stunt people have years of
experience, which enables them to perform their stunts with a minimum of risk. It would take too long to
train the actors to perform dangerous scenes safely.

Some people who love the thrill of dangerous sports such as skydiving or rock climbing think it would

be easy to work as a stunt person. But it isn'tenough to be a risk-taker. Stunt performers also have to know

what to do if anythinggoes wrong.

In addition to risk-taking and meticulous attention to detail and planning, stunt work requires being in
top physical condition. Although there are afew training programmes for stunt performers, most provide only

an overview of theprofession. Normally, the people who attend these programmes already have experience in

dangerous sports, rescue work, or the military. So the best way to prepare for a career in stunt work is to train

inan area that involves strong physical conditioning and has an element of physical danger.
Modern filmmaking techniques have changed the way some dangerous scenes are filmed. For example,
computer-generated images make it possible to show stunts that would be too dangerous or expensive for
car
real stunt people to perform. Computer-generated images are often used today to create big fight scenes,

crashes, and explosions. However, they are not always the best choice. Many
people perform actual stunts. Also, the rising popularity of made-for-TV movies around the world ensures
that there is still plenty for stunt people in the film industry.
