William Shakespeare is one of the greatest writers in English literature. His plays can be divided into three categories: histories, tragedies(悲剧) and comedies. Shakespeare wrote eighteen comedies, although two were lost. These comedies usually have happy endings and a light-hearted tone and style that are quite different from his tragedies.

For me, one of the greatest pleasures in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. It's a chance for me to get away from real life. There's nothing better than being lost in a story unless, of course, someone decides to break down the moment.

Whether at a cinema or a huge theatre, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don t seem to understand.

To start with, some people always turn up late, causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects, someone begins to enjoy their drinks and popcorn and thus makes a lot of noises, And what I can't stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends, sometimes not even about the film.

I'm not alone in this situation. Simon Mayo, a film critic at the BBC, experienced a “new low" during a film. He says, "The woman in front of me got a mirror out, then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her make-up!”

Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is no use of mobile phones, and another is not to take your shoes off--a most serious offence(冒犯)!

Of course, when we have paid for a ticket, we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to, but we mustn't forget our fellow moviegoers who want to enjoy the cinematic experience, too.

The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen._______________

What about you? What annoys you about other people at the cinema?

1.Why does the writer enjoy going to the cinema?

A. It makes him feel like being at home.

B. It gives him a moment to stay away from real life

C. He prefers watching the films on big screens.

D. He wants to enjoy the cinematic experience.

2.What is considered by Simon to be the rudest at a cinema?

A. Using mobile phones.　　 B. Chatting to their friends.

C. Taking the shoes off　　 D. Having drinks and eating popcorn

3."__________"is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 7?

A. Don’ t break the rules　　 B. Manners are important!

C. Just stay at home!　　 D. It's your choice!

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Popular Cinemas　　 B. A Serious problem
