27、Bros to adapt the Asimov short story The Ugly Little Boy into a film.

28、 is working on turning End of Eternity into a film that Ridley Scott (Gladiator) will likely direct from a script by Total Recall co-writer Gary Goldman; and Sony Pictures Family Entertainment is developing into an animated film series Norby, the Mixed Up Robot, a series of 10 childrens novels that

29、Asimov wrote with his wife Janet, wholl act as creative consultant.Most of the deals will be worth seven-figure paydays if the films get made.Asimov wrote more than 460 works in either book or short-story form. While he wrote some nonfiction and mysteries, his speciality was sci-fi, with futuristic

30、stories that were alien-free and high on pro-humanistic themes.His work has influenced many prominent sci-fi filmmakers, but Asimov action had been sparse. The most recent adaptation was the Robin Williams picture Bicentennial Man. Part of the reason was that Asimov s sole passion was his books and

31、his family. He was hardly pushy(进取心的) about getting his works adapted, known to grant film options for as little as $50.The catalyst for the surge in screen activity is that Asimovs estate is now represented by Crested By, a partnership created 1- 1/2 years ago by Vince Gerardis and Ralph Vicinanza,

Buses came by, but not the one they wanted. The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if

36、the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.The driver ignored her, so she repeated the question. Incredibly, he then closed the door - on her arm - and drove off. The woman, her arm stuck in the door, trotted alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only be

37、cause they, too, were shouting. When the driver finally did stop and opened the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his badge number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off. After the drivers bosses a

38、t the Chicago Transit Authority-a tax-supported governmental body - heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension without pay. That struck me as rather light. But Bill Baxa, a CTA public-relations man, said, Thats a pretty harsh penalty. Five days off work

39、is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, Any time you take money away from someone, it is a harsh punishment. The driver makes $14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost. Yes, that comes to $560, a tidy sum. But we know that people in the priv

40、ate sector are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the CTA think that the loss of a weeks pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting proposition: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and Ill slam the door shut, stop the gas pedal and

41、take them for a fast one-block jog. And Ill pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr. Baxa? Anybody? I didnt think so. 0、Why did the author offer a sporting proposition? _ A、Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people. B、Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.

42、C、Because the bus driver had not been fired. D、Because he thought the penalty was not a harsh on 0、The nurse half-entered one of the buses because_. A、she wanted the driver to stop the bus B、the bus they wanted didnt stop there C、she and her uncle couldnt wait any longer at the corner D、she wanted t

43、o get some information from the driver 2、The bus drivers punishment was_.

44、r off? _ A、Probably three blocks. B、Probably five or six blocks. C、Almost two blocks. D、Almost one block. 4、The reason why the woman trotted alongside the bus was that_. A、the driver closed the door before she heard the answer B、she was dragged by the bus driver C、she wanted to get the drivers badge

Three weeks passed, but the rug did not arrive. When Mrs. B. telephoned the store to ask about it, she was told that the rug had been lost and tha

46、t the store would send her another.Weeks later, when Mrs. B. telephoned again, the store claimed that the second rug had been delivered and left on her front porch. She didnt believe this story, as she had been at home as usual, and her door bell was in good working order. However, the store promise

47、d her that a third rug would be delivered within a week. It wasnt. What could she do? How could she get action? Mrs. B. did what many other Americans have done-with excellent results. She wrote a letter to the newspaper in her town, explaining her problem. A few days later her letter appeared in the

48、 newspaper, and this sentence was printed below it: The store found a way to safely deliver your rug immediately after hearing from us. In this age of machines, it is often hard to get action from businesses that have made mistakes. An individual person can complain, but his complaints may accomplis

49、h nothing. Luckily, newspapers now employ people to help with such problems, and the results are published in a special section of the paper. Mrs. Bs letter appeared in a column called MR. FIX-IT. During the same week the following letter from Mrs. J. was printed in the ACTION LINE column of another

50、 newspaper Many weeks ago I bought some living room furniture from the House and Garden Shop in Parkersville. They have set three delivery dates, and each time I had to stay home from work and wait for the truck, which never came. I have called the store at least fifteen times, and each time they ha

51、ve said they would look for the furniture. This has been going on for two months. I guess they are still looking. The ACTION LINE writers reply was printed below Mrs. Js letter: They found it. Action Line made one telephone call to the president of the company, who told us: the customer will get sat
