Fun film facts
Two of the most famous silent films ever made were the French sciencefiction film A Trip to the Moon (1902) and the American film The Great Train Robbery (1903).
The silent film that made the most money ever was The Birth of a Nation (1915), which was produced and directed by D. W. A Griffith. It made $10,000,000.
Auguste Lumiere and his brother made the first film shown in public. However, they didn't believe that films would become very popular. Auguste said, 'Cinema...has nocommercial (商业) future!'

25% of the money by a film comes from ticket sales, 46 from DVD sales, and 29% from television. We don't know how much money people get from popcorn sales, but film fans usually eat a lot of this salty food, especially when watching a horror film.

At the doctor’s office
Wilson is a foreign student in Britain. He is learning English there. He still has some trouble using the language.
Doctor: Good morning. You’re a new patient, I think. What’s the trouble?
Wilson: Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes hot. I have a headache and a stomachache.
Doctor: Yes, you look a bit off-colour.
Wilson: What colour, please?
Doctor: Sorry, what I said was “off-colour”. We use it to describe how people look or feel when they are unwell. Let me take your temperature. When did this start?
Wilson: I felt very tired last night when I went to bed. Then I felt really bad this morning when I woke up.
Doctor: I see. Now, let’s look at your temperature. Ah, just as I thought, a hundred and one.
Wilson: Oh, a hundred and one? So high?
Doctor: Ah, yes, that must sound strange to you. We measure people’s temperature on the Fahrenheit scale（华氏）. In centigrade, your temperature is 39℃, which is a bit high, but not exactly boiling point（沸点）.
Wilson: Oh, it isn’t very bad, then.
Doctor: No, it isn’t serious. You’ve got a cold. I’ll give you some medicine. You’d better stay at home in the warm for a day or two and drink plenty of water.
Wilson: Thank you very much, doctor. I’m feeling better already. It wasn’t so difficult telling you about my illness.
Doctor: No, language doesn’t matter too much to a doctor. After all, vets manage without language at all.
Wilson: Please, what is a “vets”?
Doctor: Animal doctors. Now I must end this English lesson and see my next patient.
34. Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “off-colour”?
A. tired B. lazy C. sick D. stressed
35. What do we know about Wilson?
A. He is good at English. B. He has had a cold.

36. What is the doctor like?

“No, Dad. You don’t understand. I really, really, really want a mobile phone.” “And I really, really, really want a boat. It’s not going to happen.”
Lisa and her dad were stuck in traffic. It seemed that it’s always the case. When he took her to school in the morning — traffic. When he picked her up in the afternoon — traffic. Go to the supermarket, a birthday party, and what felt like ten hours of traffic was what they got.

“If I had a boat, I could eat beef on it. That doesn’t mean I’m getting one.”
“No, but I mean if I could play games, I wouldn’t be so bored when we were in traffic. I wouldn’t trouble you!”
“I don’t mind being troubled. I like talking to you.” “Then I won’t say anything at all!”
Dad smiled quietly to himself. “I’m going to call Mum to let her know we’ll be late.” He reached into his pocket. “Oh! My battery’s dead.”
“You know…if I had a mobile phone, I could call Mum,” said Lisa. “Nice try.”
Lisa smiled. She wasn’t getting a phone, but she knew she was right, and that was almost as good.

Elsie Eiler is the head of Monowi, a tiny town in northern Nebraska, U.S.A., and that isn’t her only job. She is also the town secretary, the town treasurer, the librarian, and she works in the café. Why has she got a lot of different jobs? Because there’s nobody else to do them. Monowi has got a population of one — Elsie.
Monowi is an unusual sight. There are about twelve old wooden houses there. They are all empty and are surrounded by a few trees, several old cars and lots of rubbish. The town is silent. An old yellow school bus, with no wheels or seats, stands next to the small school. The school closed 40 years ago. Opposite Elsie’s café is an old building, filled with rubbish. It was a shop but it closed in the 1950s.

However, the farmers couldn’t compete（竞争）with the large industrialized（工业化的）farms, and left the town to look for other work. In 1971, the railway closed and the town began to die. Three years ago, the last people that lived there, except Elsie’s family, moved away. Then, Elsie’s husband died, and then her son and daughter left to find work in bigger towns, leaving Elsie the only person in the town.
____________Her food is good, her beer is cold, and farmers and truck drivers travel a long way to eat at her café. “One day Monowi will just be memories, and it will probably turn to dust,” she says. “But I like it, and as long as I can take care of myself I will stay here.”
