Anyone who reads a book and then goes to see a movie based on that book generally leaves the movie feeling a little disappointed. Why might this be? Both books and movies serve the purpose of entertainment. Both books and movies offer characters and plots. And, both books and movies provide a setting for a story. Books, however, offer a more attractive and complex form of entertainment than movies.

   Although movies are entertaining to watch, books have advantages over them. First, books, in comparison to movies, can more easily seize the depths of characters and create a complex setting through the use of rich description. Books leave it up to the reader to interpret, imagine, and recreate the story in his or her own mind. However, movies are action—packed and provide lots of visual stimuli（視覺刺激）, still, it is the movie not the viewer that interprets the characters, plot and setting. Second, books are not limited to time. A writer can write as much or as little as necessary in order to create and tell a story. Movies, on the other hand, are limited to an hour and a half to two hours of entertaining time before the audience begins to get restless. Last, reading is an intellectual form of entertainment. Readers can improve their level of reading and vocabulary in a harmless, healthy, and pleasurable way. Movies, on the other hand, are not as complex and entertaining as books, and they leave nothing to interpret. Therefore, the advantages and entertainment value of books outweigh（勝過）those of a movie.

To conclude, books, through interpretation, help the reader develop a sense of relationship to the characters and the story itself, but a movie strictly entertains. Books are a better form of entertainment than movies.

65. According to the author, ____________.

  A. movies often make people disappointed  B. more and more people prefer books to movies

  C. books have many advantages over movies   D. both books and movies strictly entertain

66. The underlined word “intellectual” in the second paragraph may relate to __________.

67. We learn from the text that ___________.

A. movies can easily seize the depths of characters

B. books provide more visual stimuli than movies

  C. books leave readers nothing to interpret and imagine

  D. movies are usually time limited compared with books

68. Which of following would be the best title for the text?

  A. Movies: Easy Form of Entertainment         B. Books: Better Form of Entertainment

C. How to Produce Movies Based on Books      D. Why Are We Disappointed at Movies

It seems that there are a larger number of beggar in the

 streets than there used to be. I don’t know how we should help

 it or not. Once I gave some money to a beggar who looks

 poor. However, minutes later, I saw him bought some

cigarettes. It really shocked at me. In my opinion, anyone who

work hard can make a living. I’m afraid that giving them

money isn’t best way to help them. Maybe the government

can take some action to helping them. Anyway, if they

 want to live a better living, they should learn to depend

 on themselves.
