As a child, Marta was surprisingly creative, painting pictures before she received any formal training. At age 8, she informed me she planned to become a film maker and stuck to that until, at 17, she and I decided that instead of taking a course in film, she should be apprenticed to a brilliant sound editor, Bruce Nyznik, and his talented associates such as Peter Tilley, with whom I was then working.
Marta's love of trains led to the creation of her first film, Train of Thought, in 1991. After that transition from sound to film, she continued to direct and produce, as well as edit. Her works include Shattered Dreams, a 2006 documentary about a disadvantaged youth in Toronto; The Saviour of Ceylon, a film about the heroism of RCAF officer Leonard Birchall; and the seven part television series Being 80 with Jean Vanier.
Marta was diagnosed with cancer nine years before her death. She saw her cancer as something to be grateful for because it made her concentrate her attention on lasting spiritual realities, rather than the temporary passions that define most of our lives and most of the time.
Marta had worked as an editor and director on more than 30 films with Jean Vanier, the founder of L'Arche, an international organization that assists the developmentally handicapped. So she came to her great trial with some hope that her physical pain could promote spiritual growth. She had had little contact with formal religious practice, so what changed her was having to find the meaning of the cancer that threatened her life.
In her final year or so, she began to write about her experience with cancer and the enlightenment (启发) that came with it. She meant to give purpose to her life by helping others. Above all, she wanted her friends and family to share the help she was able to give.
In a conversation shortly before Marta's death, I expressed some discouragement in my life, and she advised me to concentrate on something for which I was grateful.

If you never read the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, now is your chance to catch up — by watching the latest film adaptation. Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film, it would be, as Fox News says in its review, “It's just like the book.”
Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was “either to find a visual equivalent (相等物) for Fitzgerald's elegant essay — the open secret of the book's staying power — or to bend the material to his own exotic (异国的) strengths,” a Time magazine review says. He tries it both ways, with varying degrees of success.
Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work, The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism, resistance to change, social change, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.
Nick, the narrator, moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy. His next door neighbor is Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War. Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University, but the evidence is suspect. As Nick learns more about Gatsby, every detail about him seems questionable, except his love for Daisy. Though Daisy is married, Gatsby still adores her as his “golden girl”. They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working class military officer. Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war. However, she married Tom, a classmate of Nick. Having obtained a great fortune, Gatsby sets out to win her back again.
“All of Fitzgerald's original creation finds its way into this film, even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue,” US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review. “The cast is beautiful as is the script, and the scenes are a visual feast,” Taroli adds.
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm. “He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen,” David Denby, a film critic for The New Yorker, says in his review.
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film. “Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original,” the Fox News review says.
For example, in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film, the first party scene, Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself, while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue (composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924) is played in the background.
语篇解读:本文主要介绍了Baz Luhrmann (巴兹·鲁赫曼)导演的电影《了不起的盖茨比》,它改编自弗朗西斯·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德的同名小说。
4.What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success
A.He adapted the story in the novel as he wished.
B.He made the film more powerful than the book.
C.He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay.
D.He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“to find a visual equivalent (相等物) for Fitzgerald's elegant essay ... or to bend the material to his own exotic (异国的) strengths”和“He tries it both ways, with varying degrees of success.”可知,他把自己的风格和原著结合起来从而获得了成功,故选C。
5.What is Taroli's attitude towards the film
A.Favorable. B.Sceptical.
C.Amazed. D.Unconcerned.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第五段的“The cast is beautiful as is the script, and the scenes are a visual feast”可知,Taroli对这部电影是支持的,故选A。
6.What are the characteristics of Gatsby
A.Faithful and warm hearted.
B.Charming and professional.
C.Selfish and stubborn.
D.Mysterious and devoted.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,对于盖茨比的一切都是令人怀疑的,除了他对Daisy的爱,因此他是神秘且忠诚的,故选D。
7.Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph
A.Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby.
B.Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well.
C.Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music.
D.Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句中的“Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together”可知,导演擅长把视觉和音乐相结合,而最后一段则是举例子说明,故选C。
Ⅳ.阅读七选五
Here are some simple rules to write an effective resume. Violation of these rules can cause you lose the interview chance for the job you want!
__1__: Too many people worry whether their resume is 1 page, or 2 pages etc. A resume is as long as it needs to be to get the point across.
This is not an art project: The color purple should never appear on a resume unless you are Barney the Dinosaur. __2__ unless you are looking for a job in the Philippines; for some reason, every resume I have ever seen from there has the candidate's picture on it.
Your resume is a marketing tool: __3__. It should be accurate but does not have to include every detail of your life especially if it makes you look strange or stupid.
It should read like a book: Title at the top (name, address, email, phone, etc.), outline underneath (accomplishments or skills), chapters below (job history, education etc.). __4__.
The Summary and Accomplishments are critical to getting someone to read your resume: __5__. If you can get a “WOW!” out of someone's mouth when they read your accomplishments, you have done your job. The Summary and Accomplishments should change depending on the job you are applying for.
A.Length is even less important
B.A passport is necessary
C.It's of great importance to catch every detail
D.No pictures are needed
E.It is meant to represent you at your best
F.They need to be strong and attractive
G.Chapters are read in time order and make sense

2.解析:选D 根据下文中的“unless you are looking ...for some reason, every resume I have ever seen from there has the candidate's picture on it”可知,不要附上你的照片。故选D。
3.解析:选E 根据空前的“Your resume is a marketing tool(你的简历是一种营销工具)”和下文内容可知,应选E,简历的目的是展现出你最好的一面。选项C与下文的“does not have to include every detail of your life”矛盾。

5.解析:选F 根据空前的“综述和取得的成绩对于吸引别人看你的简历来说至关重要”,由此可推断出选F,综述和取得的成绩需要写得引人入胜。PAGE

Emma Watson entered our lives as the perfect Hermione Granger in 2001, and nowadays, we're just as much in love with this charming, intelligent British girl, as ever.You may or may not be a Potter head, but a lot of people are charmed by Emma Watson's perfection.
Despite being a star performer at the young age of 11, she's never gone the Hollywood spoiled child route.In fact, she made all attempts to stay as normal as possible.She said, “Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way.I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things.It probably wasn't advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger.And it probably wasn't wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a dormitory.Looking back, I think that was crazy.”
She added, “I was very well educated.My dad paid for me to go to a very good school, so I worked hard every single day at that school to make him proud of me.And I did, and I still do.”
If we had to imagine what Hermione Granger would have grown up to be like, we would say she'd be the Emma Watson of the Potter universe because there really is no way to separate the two.In the last few years, Emma_has_added_more_feathers_to_her_cap than we imagined being humanly possible, which include actor, scholar, model and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.In her role as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, she'd supported powerful causes to the best of her ability and brought them all the attention they deserve.
Emma Watson gave us the most accurate description of our favorite girl from the Potter universe.“Young girls are told you have to be a delicate princess.Hermione taught them that you can be a warrior.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了《哈利·波特》系列电影中女主角赫敏·格兰杰的饰演者Emma Watson在11岁成名之后,仍然过着普通的生活。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
The Peanuts Movie, which hits theaters today, brings to life one of the most popular comic strips (连环漫画). For many years, kids have found humor and comfort in Charlie Brown and his pet dog, Snoopy. The characters came from the pen of Charles Schulz, whose comic strip, Peanuts, first appeared in newspapers in 1950.
Charles Schulz, who died in 2000, was one of the most influential cartoonists (漫画家) in history. His son, Craig Schulz, finished the screenplay for The Peanuts Movie with the help of his own son, Bryan Schulz. They reinvented the Peanuts characters for a new generation of kids who may only be familiar with the holiday specials (专辑) on TV.
Director Steve Martino created the computer animated (电脑动画的) 3D characters for the movie. “My hope was to bring these characters to life in a bigger way than we've ever seen,” Martino said. Even though he used new technology, he wanted to stay true to Charles Schulz's original drawings.
Eleven year old Noah Schnapp voices the character of Charlie Brown. “It was a bit difficult at the beginning,” Noah said. “But once I got into it, I had so much fun.” Alex Garfin, 12, is the voice of Linus, Charlie's friend. Alex has words of wisdom (智慧) not just for Charlie, but also for kids who have goals. “If you don't succeed, try again,” he said. “You may not succeed 99 percent of the time, but that 1 percent probability will bring you something.” Francesca Capaldi, 11, who voices the little red haired girl, agrees. “Dream big,” she said. “If you really want something, just go for it.”
Charles Schulz would be happy to see his own big dreams realized on the big screen.
