5. Read and choose the best summary.
In a very good restaurant we have a dinner that is specially cooked for us; in a canteen we are served with standard portions of standard meal. And this is the difference between the living theatre and the mass entertainment of films, radio and television. In the theatre the play is specially cooked for us. It (the theatre) is the ancient but ever-youthful parent of all entertainment in dramatic form. It is a magical place where man meets his image.

1) The ancient art of theatre can help people understand the world and themselves better.

2) Theatre often offers us something special, which other forms of enter tainment do not do because they produce things for a mass audience.
