3D cinema has been around since the early 20th century, but Hollywood brought the technology back In 2007. Many thought it was just a trick to make more money. But then came Avatar, the first must-see movie in 3D.

But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In 2010, several 3D movies bombed at the box office. And by late 2010, Some people said the technology was dead. Of course, this isn’t the first time Hollywood has struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and color became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we’re going through the same process with 3D.

Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D. Also, a recent study at California State University found audiences don’t actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D. Walter Murch , a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.

But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D. And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2012 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Cameron’s Titanic 3D made even more.

Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, ‘Tm hoping 3D gets to a point where people dorft notice it. Because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”

1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies______

A．were not successful                     B．became popular

2.The example of sound and color is used mainly to show that______.

A．Hollywood tends to absorb what is new

B．3D technology takes time to be accepted

C．Hollywood struggles with new technology

D．high technology helps to make better movies

3.In Walter Murch7S opinion, 3D movies______.

A．bring moviemakers great profits

B．are more expensive than 2D movies

C．do great harm to people’s health

D．are unsuitable for people to watch

4.What can we learn from the text?

A．Avatar was the first 3D movie.

B．3D cinema has existed for years.

C．Titanic 3D has made the most money.

D．2012 witnessed the coming of 3D’s time.

Until late in the 20th century most Americans spent time with people of different generations.Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.

That's because we group people by age.We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers,our 13-year-olds in schools and sport activities,and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes.Why?

We live far away from the old for many reasons.Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of becoming old and dying.It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes.Sometimes it’s got hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.

Fortunately,some of us have found our way to the old.And we have discovered that they often save the young.

A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people.At first her children were disappointed.But the reporter made banana bread for the neighbors and had her children send it and visit them.Soon the children had many new friends,with whom they shared food,stories and projects."My children have never been lonely,"the reporter said.

The young,in turn,save the old.Once I was in a rest home (an organization where old people are cared for) when a visitor showed up with a baby,she was immediately surrounded.People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child.Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.

Grandparents are a special case.They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity.As my husband put it "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end." Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents."My parents were always telling me to hurry up,and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said.A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter,calmer and more trusting.

1.Now in an American family,people can find that________.

A. children never live with their parents

B. not all working people live with their parents

C. old people are supported by their grandchildren

D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents

2.Seeing a baby,the old people got excited because ________.

A. they had never seen a baby before

B. the baby was clever and beautiful

C. the baby brought them the image of life

D. the baby's mother would take care of them

3.Why are some children quieter,calmer and more trusting?

A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents.

B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.

C. Because they have nothing to worry about.

D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.

4.Which of the following can show the fact that the old often save the young?

A. The old can become friends of the children and the children may not feel lonely.

B. The old get excited when they see a baby.

C. The old can cure the young when they are sick.

D. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
