According to the list of 1998s most successful movies put together by Variety magazine, U.S. films took the top 39 places; Britains The Full Monty came in at number 40. As a consequence, British movies market share fell to 14 percent of the home market, while the respective figures for French films were 27 percent in France and 10 percent for German films in Germany. The European Unions trade deficit with the United States in films and television is annually between $ 5 and $ 6 billion. Several of Hollywoods most successful movies have drawn from international resources. There men and a Baby was a remake of French comedy. Total Recall was made partly by French money, was directed by a Dutch man and starred an Austrian. The English Patient was directed by a Briton, shot in Italy, and starred French and British talent. The quest for new ideas and fresh talent has lead studios to develop subsidiaries in Europe: SONYs bridge in London, Miramax in Berlin, and Warner Brothers both in Berlin and Paris.1.

The same problem , on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.6. Almost all companies involved in new production and development must B .A. rely on their own financial resourcesB. persuade the banks to provide long-term financeC. depend on the population as a whole for finance7. The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is C .A. repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleB. raised by the selling of shares in the companiesC. exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange8. When the savers want their money back they C .A. ask another company to obtain their money for themB. look for other people to borrow money fromC. put their shares in the company back on the market9. All the essential services on which we depend are A .A. run by the Government or our local authoritiesB. financed wholly by the rates and taxesC. in constant need of financial support10. The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries C .A. to borrow as much as they wishB. to make certain everybody saves moneyC. to raise money to finance new developmentsPassage 3A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. “Last week,” said he, “my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didnt get it back.”“ How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant. “ Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man look it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No.10 Broad Street.”“Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, Ill buy you a new one.” The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesnt wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to NO.10 Broad Street. He is well known.”This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own umbrella was among the number. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.11. What is an advertisement? BA. A news item. B.

Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives（察觉） something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow（拉着）. For perception is the minds interpretation of what the sensesin this case our eyestell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors.
