Usually when a movie comes out, the actors get all the glory. But they are only a small part of the movie-making process. Thousands of people work behind the scenes to make a great movie. Without them, movies would not be possible.
Director: Movie directors direct the movies. They are like the top managers in an office or a factory. The directors chose the actors and tell them how to perform their roles. They work with almost everyone in the movie, telling them what to do and how to do it. The directors are supposed to know everything that goes on in the movie, from music and costumes to lights and sound.
Camera operator: Camera operators are experts at using movie cameras. They work long hours, making sure the pictures and actors look really good in every scene.
Costume designer: costume designers are responsible for designing or making costumes. Sometimes costume designers have to work late into the night so that actors can have their clothes ready for the next day of filming.
Sound operator: Sound operators are in charge of production sound. They record the dialogue between the actors on the movie set. Later, in production, they add sound effects. They also mix music into the movie. They make sure every sound in the movie is produced clearly and fits in nicely.
Set designer: A movie set is the place where all the action happens in a movie. Set designers work hard to build sets for the movie. Without them, movies would not look as real.
根据短文内容,判断各句是否符合短文意思,符合的 “T”,否则 “F”。
1.Actors all are important parts of the move-making process.
2.Directors should know all the things that goes on in the movie.
3.Sound operators are in charge of using movie cameras.

Movies for the Blind?
When you think of the cinema, the phrase "watching a movie" probably comes to mind, and, in fact, moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually. But movies also contain stories, dialogues, music and sound effects --- things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy.
Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website to help visually impaired (受损的) people choose movies that they can follow without the help of an assistant to explain what is happening on the screen. Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10 based on several factors. A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize. Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place. A large amount of dialogue between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.
Of course, visually impaired people can enjoy many films with the help from a friend who doesn’t mind explaining the parts of a movie that can only be seen. But that means that someone is talking during the movie, which could annoy some audience members. It also means that these people cannot go to the movies independently. To solve these problems, some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements, scenery, and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen. Visually impaired moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie. This allows them to listen to the narration (叙述) while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater.
Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, writes movie reviews that are published on his website. He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings, including, "So good, blind people will like it" and "I'm glad I couldn't see it." Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 20 and he decided to go to college. His first articles appeared in the college newspaper, and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio. After "watching" The Sixth Sense, Forry commented that he thought the movie was excellent, but that he envied the boy who was the main character: "He had six senses, and I only have four."
1.Which movie might receive a good rating from Marty Klein?
A. A action film with many fight scenes.
B. A science fiction movie about time travel into the past and the future
C. A romantic comedy with four main characters and lots of conversations.
D. An adventure with many explosions and special effects.
2.According to the article, how are some movie theaters dealing with the problem of blind people going to movies?
A. They are asking the assistants not to annoy the other audience members.
B. They are providing headsets so blind people can hear a recorded narration.
C. They are providing trained employees to describe the movie to blind people.
D. They are asking blind people to enjoy the music and the other sounds in the theater.
3.What is the main idea of the article?
A. More and more blind people enjoy going to movies.
B. Marty Klein and Jay Forry write movie reviews for blind people.
C. Moviemakers are trying to make films more interesting for the blind.
D. Movie reviews and new technologies make it easier for the blind to enjoy the movies.

When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, at the same time they usually talk about a lot of subjects, including children, men, careers and what’s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen---they can’t do both---and they don’t understand that women can. Besides(此外), women think that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships--not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring (盯着) at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot(the story that is told in a novel or play or movie etc.) and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the small body language signals that show how the characters are feeling emotionally(情绪上). Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully because they want to keep relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to connect to the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a way of keeping relationship. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing(令人信服的)evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls’ mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents reply to the brain differences of their children. Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we talk to them more. As a result, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short complaints in reply.
1.While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they ___________.
A.are afraid of silence with their families and friends |
B.can both talk and watch the screen at the same time |
C.think they can have a good time and develop relationships |

A.experience the happy time again |
B.keep a close tie with her |
C.recommend her a new wonderful place |
D.remind her of something forgotten |
3.What does the writer want to tell us most?
A.Women’s brains are better organized for language and communication. |
B.Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men. |
C.Men do not like talking because they believe more in facts. |
D.Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking. |
4.Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?
A.Women Are Socially Trained to Talk |
