Nick was tired of life,every day was exactly the same.
“What I need is a little adventure!”Nick thought as he waited at the bus stop one morning.Nick’s little adventure happened sooner than he had expected!
While he was on the bus,reading his newspaper,the man sitting next to him suddenly pushed a large brown envelope in his hands.“Here,take this!”he murmured.Then he stood up and got off the bus before Nick could say a word.
Nick sat there holding the envelope.It felt heavy.There were papers inside,or money perhaps.“I’d better hand it over to the police,”he thought.There was a police station close to his office.But as he got off the bus,a man came up to him.He was obviously waiting for something.“He wants the envelope.”Nick thought.Nick began to walk quickly and the man hurried after him.Nick started to run and the man began to run,too.But then,just before he got to the police station.Nick managed to lose the man in the crowds when he entered the police station,the man was no longer in sight.
Inside the police station,the envelope was full of money—false money.“Obviously the man made a mistake,”the inspector said,“He thought you were one of the gang! Well,congratulations!”
Nick felt like a hero.He could already see his name in all the papers.He could imagine an interview on television!
“However,”the inspector went on,interrupting Nick’s daydreams.“I’m afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about this.We’re trying to catch some very clever thieves and we don’t want them to know that we have some of the money.So you mustn’t say a word to anyone—even your boss! Sorry!”
“So that’s that!”Nick said to himself on his way to the office.He was over an hour late.“I’ve had my little adventure,but I can’t tell anyone about it.So what’s the point? I’ve even got to make up an excuse to the boss!”

The earliest films are quite different from the present ones.They were very short,lasting only one minute.To see simple action films of trains,crowds on the street and similar subjects,people needed to pay only one cent.
Later,a new method was used to produce magical effect and to tie a story together.The method was to put the beginning of one scene upon the end of the scene before.In 1903 a film was made about a train robbery.Many of the actions took place at the same time.The scenes moved smoothly from one to another.This was the earliest successful film.In that film,scenes filmed at different places and times were put together naturally.
A short time later,there appeared a whole hour of short comedy,travel and so on.These films were usually simple,rough and even vulgar.
In the beginning,actors in the films weren’t allowed to have their names known publicly.It was because producers were afraid actors would ask for more money once they became well known.But later producers found that films with popular actors in them could be sold at a higher price than those without popular actors in them.After 1910,actors were allowed to use their own names and won high fame.
51.Which of the following does not describe the character of the oldest films?
A.The actions in the films were not complex.
B.People didn’t need to pay much money to see a film.
C.The films didn’t show the people on the street to the audience.
D.The films didn’t last long.
52.From the passage which of the following statements are about the first most successful film?
a.It was made in 1903.
b.It was about a robbing happening in a train.
c.A new method was used to make the film.
d.Many actions happened at the same time but people could see them one by one in the film.
e.All the actions were filmed in a train.
f.There was no sound in the film.
g.The film lasted shorter than an hour.
A.a,b,c,d,e,f,g B.a,b,c,d,g
C.a,b,d,e,f D.a,b,c,d,e,g
53.The underlined word“vulgar”in the third paragraph means______.
A.ill mannered,in bad taste
B.gentle manned,in good taste
C.interesting
D.educative
54.Why did producers not allow actors to make their names famous to the public in the beginning?
A.Fame is a magnifying(放大)glass.
B.Fame is the last infirmity(weakness)of noble minds.
C.The more a man has,the more he wants.
D.The more famous one is,the more he gets.
55.Which is true according to the passage?
A.The more famous the actors are,the better a film must be.
B.Since 1910 actors have been more and more famous.
C.The films at present last as long as the old ones.
D.Films began during last century.

Dear Dr.Helper,
I am a student of Senior Three.I am now in great need of your help because I can hardly stand the great pressure.
Every day I have to stay at school for nine hours to have lessons and spend at least three to four hours doing my homework at home.We teenagers are eager to play and enjoy ourselves,but we hardly have any time to do what we want.Besides,we even don’t have enough sleep.There seems to be three causes about the overload:the pressure of examinations,too much homework and the high expectations from the parents.We are often warned that if we don’t do our best,we won’t have the chance to go to university.
I’m writing this letter only to wish that I could have someone to talk to.
I’m looking forward to your advice.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Yong
