Real policemen can hardly tell any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life is almost around criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what can be used to prove someone guilty and lead him into prison. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more,he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal:as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding a criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, only a little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest, a policeman really starts to work. He has to prove his case so that he often has to look for a lot of different clues.
A third big difference between the drama policeman and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave completely according to the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If a policeman has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And most policemen feel the separation between themselves and the rest of the world is deepened. Most citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges are in some ways simple-minded, they suggest not punishing the criminals in a very strict way in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, most policemen feel is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed prison. This makes them feel rather bad.

Emma and Emily are twins. They look so similar that even their parents have d1.telling the differences between them just by appearance. But actually the girls are different in most other ways. For example, Emma likes spicy food, while Emily p2. sweet food. Emma loves the color indigo, while Emily loves the color violet. Emma likes studying at night, while Emily would r3. do it in the morning.
So the twins often argue (争论) about lots of things. Here is a real case. When Emma saidwaking up early in the morning was terrible, Emily argued. “Mornings are fresh. The air in the morning can always c4. me up. On the contrary (相反), I think it's difficult to stay up late when you feel so sleepy!” In the end, their parents made a d5. to put an end to their argument and taught them that they could b6.be correct. But the girls remained skeptical (怀疑的).
That day, their father s7. Emma stand on one side of a board and Emily on the other side. They couldn’t see each other's side. Their father asked, "What color is the board, girls?” Emma said it was black, while Emily said it was white. They started arguing again. The father asked them to c8. places. They were both quite surprised to d9. that the board on Emma’s side had been painted black and on Emily’s side had been painted white. Both of them were correct.
Many of us are just like Emma and Emily. We may insist (坚持) that we are right most of the time, only to find out that o10. can be right as well.

While watching movies, it’s getting hard to tell what is and isn’t real. Thanks to computers, movie makers can now use their full imaginations. There’s even a new type of character--made entirely by computers—which is getting more and more screen time.
Making the impossible look easy has always been a part of movie magic. As far back as 1895, filmmakers used special effects in movies. Over the years, many few techniques(技术) were developed. Then, starting in the 1970s, computers took their place at the center of the process.
One of the first movies to widely use 3D computer generated(生成的,产生的) imagery (CGI) was Tron(1982). In the following years, more CGI characters were brought to life, one by one. Then, Jurassic park (1993) brought us an island full of man-eating dinosaurs. Shortly afterwards, Toy Story (1995) became the first cartoon made entirely with 3D CGI effects. It was a big hit, and audiences loved the characters.
By using “motion capture” technology, filmmakers can make the movements of CGI humans even more lifelike. With this technique, a real actor wears sensors(感受器,传感器) on his face and body. The sensors record the actor’s movements and send the information to a computer. Then the movements are given to a CGI character. This technique was used to make the creature(生物,有生命的东西) Gollum in the second and third The Lord of the Rings movies (2002,2003). Other films, like Beowulf (2007), have also used motion capture to help create CGI humans.
It is still rather easy to tell that a CGI human is not real. But the technology is improving every year. Over time, many problems ( like the teeth and eyes looking fake) will be solved. We will certainly see more CGI animals, monsters, and people in movies and TV shows. The question is – in the future, how many real actors will be put out of work by computer actors?
1.What is the main idea?
A.Tron was important in the history of CGI films.
B. Many people go to the movies to see incredible special effects.
C. More and more film characters are being made by computers.
D. All the humans in Beowulf were CGI characters.
2.In what year was a film made with many CGI dinosaurs?
A. 1895 B. 1982 C. 1993 D. 2003
3.What was special about Gollum?
A.Motion capture was used to help make the charater.
B. Gollum had an important role in a CGI cartoon.
C. He was the only CGI character in the Lord of the Rings.
D. Little money was spent to bring the creature to life.
4.What does the world hit mean?
A. attack B. shot C. success D. try

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop more slowly but then become lifelong feelings, reaching deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be happier if we accept their hospitality(友好) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they treat us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts(主人), will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily life. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for only business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
1.This passage is probably from________.
A.a novel B.a magazine C.a letter D.a diary
2.The underlined words generous with our time probably mean ________.
A.strict with time B.careful with time
C.thankful to time D.glad to spend time
3.The passage is about________.
A.the way Americans treat visitors
B.the way Chinese treat visitors
C.the differences between Americans and Chinese
D.the differences between American culture and Chinese culture
4.From the passage, we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we’ll probably be ________.
A.welcomed at the airport B.offered a ride to his home
C.treated hospitably at his home D.invited to dinner in a restaurant
5.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Friendship between Americans usually reach deeply into their families.
B.Friendships between American usually last for all their lives.
C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
