Her otherfilms included The Constant Nymph, Jane Eyre and Letter from an Unknown Woman. Fontaine won her Oscar over her sister, who was in the running for her role in Hold Back the Dawn.Fontaine starred opposite Laurence Olivier in 1940s Rebecca. De Havilland is still alive at the age of 97 and lives in Paris. Fontaine gained another two Academy Award nominations(提名)， including her lead role in Rebecca in which she played opposite Laurence Oliver. The actress later said it was a “bittersweet moment” beating De Havilland to the best actress prize. “ I was surprised that I won over my sister,” she added. But De Havilland played a significant role in Gone with the Wind. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter in 1978, Fontaine said, “ I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, shell undoubtedly be living because I beat her to it.”In her autobiography (自传)， the actress said, “I adore, respect and like my sister. But we dont seek out each others company. Were such complete opposites.” Sisters Fontaine and De Havilland were Hollywood opposites. The pair have both won Academy Awards for acting.

She starred opposite in her first major role in 1935s No More Ladies. Fontaine also lined up with Katharine Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Cary Grant-her co-star in Suspicion.

But when it comes to learning about high-technology devices, the opposite can often be true. That is what is happening through a program in the eastern American city of Columbia, Maryland. The 50 Plus Center offers free technology classes for adults ages 50 and older. The teachers are often teenagers and even younger children.Myra Stafford is 73 years old. She signed up for the workshop to learn how to use her iPad.Ms. Stafford says she is learning quickly about the device. She adds that she enjoys learning from younger people.Eleven-year-old Zhion Perkins teaches Ms. Stafford.

She says the center offers many other kinds of workshops for older residents of Columbia. The activities include playing cards and physical exercise classes.Ms. McCague added the senior technology workshop last year.

One says, “One day soon, men will walk on the ocean floor as they do on the street.” Perhaps during your life time, people will travel, work and live under the sea. Ships carrying oil and articles of trade will move beneath the ocean. Passenger ships will be built to travel underwater, where storms cannot delay them or make people seasick. Special underwater ships will be designed for mining, fishing, and exploring unknown areas. For military use, there may be submarines that can fly and then dive underwater to approach the battle area without being seen. First, however, the human problems associated with living in the ocean will need to be studied in detail. Many of these problems are the same as the problems of living in outer space: pressure, lack of oxygen, and weightlessness. Already scientists have begun to study these problems. In 1963 and 1964 scientists and navy divers lived and worked underwater for several days in two projects which were called Sealaband Sealab . The Sealab experiment kept the scientists and divers 215 feet below the surface for thirty days, studying marine biology, temperature, pressure, currents, and ocean bottom geology. Many puzzling questions remain unanswered, however. Mans warm blood makes it difficult for him to live long in the sea without some kinds of warmth. Can our blood be changed to fit new water surroundings? What will happen to our muscles if we live in the water very long? Will they become soft away from our usual land existence? Will bones become weak and our blood pressure change? Scientists are searching for answers. By studying plants and animals deep in the ocean, scientists may find a cure for some of our most serious human diseases. We may learn to use plants to increase our world food supply. Engineers may learn to use the power of the sea by building huge walls to catch the force of the tides. 32. In the passage, the author is talking to us about the problems of_ . A. pressure, lack of oxygen, and weightlessness in the seaB. walking on the ocean floorC. underwater submarineD. living, working below the ocean33. According to the author, in future, passenger ships might be the ones that can_ . A. travel underwater, not be affected by storm B. carry oil and articles of tradeC. be used for mining, fishing and exploring unknown areasD. fly and then dive underwater34. Whether we live in the sea or in outer space, first of all we should think of_A. health and foodB. safety and temperatureC. pressure, oxygen and gravity D. temperature and oxygen35. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Sealab I worked for more than thirty days below the surface. B. Sealab kept the scientists over 200 feet below the surface, studying temperature, pressure and so on. C. Sealab worked for thirty days under the sea for exploring unknown areas. D. Sealab I and Sealab kept the scientists 215 feet below the surface for thirty days.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 请将该题答案填在答题卷上。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many of us would like to become closer with our moms and dads._36_This may take some time, especially if your relationship isnt the best but with a little patience and some of the following tips, you can become friends with your parents.Work through past scars and negativity.If you have childhood issues caused by your parents, youll need to work through them._37_Forgiveness is an important element here, because without it the past will arise in the present day as anger and hurt.
