閱讀理解

　　You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight．They hit one another hard．At the start they only fight with their fists(拳頭)．But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs．And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below．He is dead!

　　Of course he isn't really dead．With any luck he isn't even hurt．Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals(專業(yè)人士)．They do this for a living．These men are called stuntmen(替身演員)．That is to say, they perform tricks．

　　There are two sides to their work．．They actually do most of the things you see on the screen．For example, they fall from a high building．However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床墊)．Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!

　　But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training．Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing(時(shí)間測量)．For example, when he is "blown up"in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of th explosion(爆炸)just at the right moment．

　　Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives．They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed．A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(懸崖)a thousand feet high．His parachute failed to open, and he was killed．

　　In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only．Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action．For nowadays there are stunt-girls too!

(1)

[　　]

A．

[　　]

[　　]

A．

B．

C．

D．

National Geographic Society

17 TH and M Streets N.W., Washington D.C．20036 U.S.A.

The year is 1991．But just for a moment you will feel the centuries roll back.

Close your eyes and you can almost see Charlemagne kneeling to receive his crown as Holy Roman Emperor.

Or an ageing Michelangelo standing in the middle of rubble （碎石）, staring at the still unbuilt, sky-size dome （圓頂大廈）above.

You are in St. Peter’s Basilica, heart of one of the most attractive nations in the world …

Dear friend,

Every now and then, you visit a place that leaves a lasting impression – and memories that remain long after you’ve returned home. The Vatican is one of those unforgettable places.

As a devoted traveler, I have always believed that there is no replacement for being there. That is, before I saw National Geographic’s new volume （書卷）with my own eyes.

Inside the Vatican

In some ways it’s better than being there. Two experienced Geographic staff members – award-winning photographer James Stansfield and writer Bart Mcdowell – show you a side of the Vatican that you could never see if you were to visit as an ordinary tourist.

You’ll view sights and treasures that only a few are ever allowed to observe, and have extraordinary opportunity to be close to the Vatican’s museums and ceremonies, and to the people who live and work there.

Examine this magnificent volume – free in your home

You’re invited to reserve this attractive new volume now. Simply return the enclosed Reservation Card and your edition will be shipped for your free examination.

Send no money. I’m confident that once you see this amazing book, you won’t be able to put it down! INSIDE THE VATICAN offers you and your family many hours of delight and attraction.

With no risk, and no requirement to buy, why not take a moment now while you’re thinking of it – and mail the enclosed card?

We look forward to having you join us on this unusual journey.

Sincerely,

Michela English

P.S. Remember, too, that this beautiful volume is a perfect gift for anyone who loves travel, history, or art. But it’s available only by direct order through the society.
