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)

Stuntmen are those who ________

[  ]

A.

often dress up as actors

B.

prefer to lead dangerous lives

C.

often perform seemingly dangerous actions

D.

often fight each other for their lives

(2)

Stuntmen earn their living by ________

[  ]

A.

playing their dirty tricks

B.

selling their special skills

C.

jumping out of high windows

D.

jumping from fast moving trains

(3)

Usually when a stuntman falls from a high building ________

[  ]

A.

he needs little protection

B.

he will be covered with a mattress

C.

his life is endangered

D.

his safety is generally all right

(4)

What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman?

[  ]

A.

Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.

B.

The percentage of serious accidents is high

C.

Parachutes must be of good quality.

D.

The cliff is too high.

THE BRONTE FAMILY

Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels (小說) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters’.

Their father was Patrick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care of the remaining three girls and a boy.

Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.

As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher(出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlotte’s book. (It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her works. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.

Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of the book, and Anne died in 1849.

Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis(肺結(jié)核) as her sisters had.

We know from the text that      .

A. Jane Eyre was published in 1847    

B. Charlotte Bronte wrote 22 books in all

C. the Bronte sisters received good education     

D. Patrick Bronte helped his daughters with their writing

The underlined words “the other two” in the 5 th paragraph refer to      .

       C. Agnes Grey and Wutheriing Heights   D. The Professor and wuthering Heights

What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text?

       A. Their novels interested few publishers.

       B. None of them had more than two books published.

       C. None of them lived longer than 40 years old.

       D. Emily was the least successful of the three.
