I"m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school master is very
angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not
want me in the school any longer. The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste--paper basket. It caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste --paper basket. It caught fire too. Soon th
e whole room was burning. The master phoned the fire brigade. The school is a long way from the town and before the fire
brigade arrived, the whole school was on fire. The master said that the fire was all my fault and I must pay
for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I"m very sorry for this.
Much love
Sarah

| A wellmade film offers a whole world of things to watch. First there are the story aspects-the plot, characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects-the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. A wellmade film offers much more than you see in one viewing. Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television, or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideas or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not. The more you are aware of this, the better you are. Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing black leather jackets, idling (闲逛) on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave. Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents fighting with guts(胆量) and not much else. They were, in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WWⅡ. Their enemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a rerun of WWⅡ, and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it? 1. All of the following are mentioned as noticeable aspects of a film EXCEPT________. A. the list of names of actors and directors, etc. B. the cost of a film C. the music for a film D. the language used in a film 2. The last sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A. a high quality film can be appreciated repeatedly from different angles B. a good film always attracts a lot of viewers C. a wellmade film usually has more than one theme D. one can never find out how many characters there are in a good film 3. It can be inferred from the passage that in his film, Marion Brando was ________. A. a motorist who always wore a black leather jacket B. a homeless man who died of excessive smoking C. a rebellious man during WWⅡ D. an idler who didn"t have any serious things to do | |||
