brittany blythe was one of them. in seventh grade，brittany blythe dreamed of being a cheerleader（啦啦队队员）. her schools coaches were less than enthusiastic. “they said. i dont know how youll be able to do it. ”she recalls. “you wont be able to do it.” but brittany，now a junior at strath haven high school near philadelphia，refused to give up. and when the junior school cheerleaders won a tournament last year, she was right there，dancing and cheering with the rest of the team. not bad for someone whose legs were cut off below the knee when she was two years old. brittany,18,was born without shinbones(胫骨）“just blood and muscle tissue，”as she puts it. when she tried to walk, her legs twisted. after the operation, she adapted quickly. “from day one，i basically jumped up and wanted to do everything, she says. prostheses(假肢)allowed her to move around upright. but too slowly to keep up with her friends. brittanys solution was to take the legs off and walk on her knees something she still does when safety and comfort permit. she has been rarely discouraged. other children laughed at her through the years，especially in junior high school，but she says the challenge only made her stronger. now shes trying to convince her coaches to let her remove the prostheses and be a flyer. the cheerleader whos thrown in the air and caught by her teammates. brittany doesnt think her

for the text? a. a new leg，a new life b. a new cheerleader, a new record c. passing the test d. seeking advantagesdin spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion.and it is not just because ticket prices are higher. attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. if that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades.americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. people want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films. as she stood in line at the 18-screen bridge theater complex here on thursday to buy weekend tickets for “jonas brothers: the 3d concert experience,” angel hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. instead, ms. hernandez, a los angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet. “spending hundreds of dollars to take them to disneyland is ridiculous right now,” she said. “for $60 and some candy money i can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.”a lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing friday, as “jonas brothers” sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets. the film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less depressing than what came before. after poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the middle east, hollywood got back to comedies.1which of the following is not a reason for the
