阅读短文,选择正确答案。    "I don"t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me
angry," said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your
parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not
so friendly in their children"s eyes?
    One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about
everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you
angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food
you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you
to grow up healthily and happily.
    So how can you make things easier on yourself? It"s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know
what you"re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don"t
call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take
responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with
you.
    Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practising being parents and
need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on
with your children. 1. The writer thinks we should             if we go back home later than usual. [     ]

B. some parents are unfriendly, which makes their children angry
C. children should do everything as their parents say

完形填空。    Many people use email to communicate with each other. If you can surf the Internet, it is a great   1   to send
messages easily, quickly and as often as you like. No   2   is it necessary to find a pen or paper, not to   3   an
envelope or stamp.
    Are we missing anything by not writing paper letters to people? Must you take the   4   of writing them if you
want to receive such letters? Most people would probably answer, "No, it is a waste of paper   5  , and this is
a much better system." It is hard to be against such a viewpoint. However, I would like to try.
    I believe that the kinds of letters people   6   to write were probably more   7   than billions of emails sent
today. Of course, when it   8   to sending quick messages, email is the best. If   9   is important, email is
particularly useful.   10  , if you want really to touch someone, a letter is more personal.  11  letters are the most
personal. If you can type fast, you can put a lot into a letter, but it lacks (缺少) the special sense that comes
from seeing the handwriting. As long as it is understandable, it doesn"t matter how tidy it is. When someone sits
down and just writes to you, you will   12   that when you are reading it.
    Though I"m a teenager, I admit that I feel too   13   to receive a letter in the mail. I love seeing my name
written by hand on   14  . You make yourself a cup of coffee, sit down in a comfortable place, open your   15  ,
and enjoy everything that the person puts into those words just for you. What a gift!

    Where in the world can you take an hour"s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the
Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There"s only one place, and that"s Hollywood, in
California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the
oldest and largest movie companies(公司) in the USA.
    A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But
they are only memories. Hollywood isn"t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has
gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old
ones.
    The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet
friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as
important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful
families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all
middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
    Though it is soap opears that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being
made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important
new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don"t need Hollywood any
more. Modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially
Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better
working conditions and lower cost.
    But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
1. From the passage, we know Universao Studios is ________.
[     ]
A. a very large park
B. a busy London street
C. a famous movie company
D. an old Hollywood movie
2. The movie industry in California isn"t as successful as before because ________.
[     ]
A. young people don"t go to movie theatres any more
B. there is strong competition from other states
C. its movie companies are in need of young stars
D. the state hasn"t put a development plan into action
3. Which of the following seems to be a threat (威胁) to Hollywood?
[     ]
A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment
B. The interest of middle-aged film stars
C. The making of TV series like Dynasty
D. The expensively made copies of scenes
4. What can we learn about "soap operas" from the passage?
[     ]
A. They are teenagers" favourits.
B. They are much more expensive.
C. They are less attractive.
D. They are cheaper and easier to make.
5. The passage mainly tells us ________.
[     ]
A. something about the film industy in the USA
B. the importance of soap operas in hollywood
C. the good old days of Hollywood
D. the film business in California
