Real people who live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not_33_. They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be_34_for us.But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only imagined. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?

Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of living. When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page.

And as soon as war broke out, he joined the army . He couldnt forget his terrible past and fought with the enemies bravely . So he became a general when he was fifty.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become nearsighted. Then people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arms length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the objects relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.51. We should take good care of our eyes _.A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are52. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably _.A. near-sightedB. far-sightedC. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts53. The underlined word suffer from in the second paragraph probably means _.A. experience B. imagineC. feel painD. are affected with54. People who suffer from astigmatism have _.A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses55. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for _.A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide area D. judging distancesCIf youre in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I point, I suggest, I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go.In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleasons character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot on a boat, shows Maxs despair(绝望) about being out of work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings.Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. “So Max is sad, right?” I said.Gleason nodded.“And hes probably still carrying his pens with his name on them -the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”Gleason nodded.“ So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?” He was silent for a moment. “Why dont I throw them overboard?” I stood up and turned toward the crew. “ Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Lets shoot it.”After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?”You and your team can discover the answers to problems together. When there are no prizes or gold stars for who gets the solution first, youll all benefit when everything turns out right.56. The author tells us that to succeed in a project you are in charge of, you should _.A. make everyone work for youB. get everyone willing to help you C. let people know you have the final sayD. keep sending out orders to them57. It can be inferred that _. A. Jackie Gleason is the director of the film Nothing in commonB. Jackie Gleason is very angry when he is fired from his job C. Max, a character in a film, is in very low spirits when he loses his jobD. Jackie Gleason is the writer of the film Nothing in common58. “The Great One” in paragraph 3 refers to _.A. Gleason B. the director himself C. MaxD. Maxs boss59. Why did Gleason call the director over and smile at him? Thats because Gleason _.A. thought his wonderful idea was accepted by the latterB. succeeded in hitting upon a wonderful ideaC. was confident about his work the next dayD. appreciated the latters way of directing films60. The most suitable title for the passage is _.A. Directing a FilmB. The Key to Success C. A Wonderful Experience D. Working with Film Stars.单词拼写(共10小题，每题1分，满分10分)61.
