Bryan Forbes, who was born in London on 22 July 1926, made his first screen acting appearance in 1918.

He landed supporting parts in several outstanding British films, including An Inspector Calls (1954) and The Colditz Story (1955), but it was not long before screen-writing and directing attracted him behind the camera. Together with Richard Attenborough, he set up Beaver Films in 1959. Its first film, The Angry Silence (1960), was written by Forbes and Attenborough played the lead role.

His directing career began in 1961 with Whistle down the Wind, featuring child star Hayley Mills. Forbes directed many more films in the 1960s and early 1970s. In 1969 he took over as head of production and managing director of EMI—MGM Elstree, and the studio achieved outstanding successes. But it was a torrid time for the company. Troubled constantly by financial difficulties and staffing issues, Forbes quitted in 1971. He then directed The Step ford Wives, based on the novel by Ira Levin, and in 1975 International Velvet, starring Tatum O’Neal, in 1978.

Forbes, who counted the late Queen Mother among his friends, continued directing, writing and acting throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. He also found success as an author with a number of novels, the latest of which, The Soldier’s Story, was published last year.

After Forbes passed away, film critic Mark Kermode said, “Once I had fun—boyish pleasure of telling Bryan Forbes how much I loved Step ford Wives. He was charming and modest. A great loss.”

A. work as a cameraman

Stress under the novel coronavirus

The first national survey of the psychological impact of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) collected data between Jan 31 and Feb 10. It found that 35 percent of people suffer psychological stress, and the level of the stress was to do with various factors.

According to the research, the stress level was associated with sex, age and education. Female showed higher psychological stress than male. People aged between 18 and 30 showed the highest level of stress. They can get much information from social media, which can easily cause stress. The elderly have also been psychologically impacted, since this widespread disease is most likely to kill older patients. Furthermore, people with higher education tended to have more stress for their knowledge of health.

Further, people may have higher stress due to their jobs. It is evident that migrant workers (外来务工人员) have the highest level of stress among all workers because they worry about the virus carried in public transports when returning to their jobs, about work delays and loss of income as they stop working, and about job opportunities that may dry up before the cities they work in return to full operations.

In addition, stress levels have something to do with region for its local medical resources, efficiency of public health system, prevention and control measures. For example, Shanghai is at high risk because of the large population of migrant workers, but the stress level is not in the high level. This may be because Shanghai has one of the best public health systems in China, according to the research.

Ultimately, the prevention and control measures taken by the Chinese government have made people’s stress decrease. Still, based on the research, psychologists suggested more attention be paid to young adults and migrant workers who have higher stress.

1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.Stress level was related to sex, age and education.

B.Young adults showed the highest level of stress.

C.Old people showed high level of stress.

D.Educated people tended to have more stress.

2.According to the survey, which kind of people may suffer higher stress?

A.Well-educated people. B.Migrant workers.

C.The elderly. D.All above.

3.According to the research, why isn't Shanghai in the high level of stress?

A.Shanghai is a beautiful place with fresh air.

B.Shanghai has large population of migrant workers.

C.Shanghai has much more healthy persons than other cities.

D.Shanghai enjoys one of the best public health systems in China.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.A large percentage of people suffered psychological stress.

B.Chinese government's control measures lowered people's stress.

C.Shanghai has the largest population of migrant workers.

D.Male tended to have more stress.
