Books, Films and Plays
The novelist's medium is the written word, on might almost say the printed word. Typically the novel is consumed by a silent, individual reader, who may be anywhere at the time. The paperback novel is still the cheapest, most portable and adaptable form of narrative entertainment. It is limited to a single channel of information The narrative can go, effortlessly, anywhere: into space, people's head, palaces, prisons and pyramids, without any consideration of cost or practical possibility. In determining the shape and content of his narrative, the writer is restricted by nothing except purely artistic criteria. The novelist keeps absolute control over his text until it is published and received by the audience. He may be advised by his editor to revise his text, but if the writer refused to meet this condition no one would be surprised. It is not unknown for a well-established novelist to deliver his or her manuscript and expect the publisher to print it exactly as written.
However, not even the most well-established playwright or screenplay writer would submit a script and expect it to be performed without any rewriting. This is because plays and motion pictures are cooperative forms of narrative, using more than one channel of communication.
The production of a stage play involves, as well as the words of the author, the physical presence of the actors, their voices and gestures, the " set " and possibly music. Although the script is the essential basis of both stage play and film, it is a basis for subsequent revision negotiated between the writer another creative people involved. They are given a approval of' the choice of director and actors and have the right to attend rehearsals(排演),during which period they may undertake more rewriting work. In the case of the screenplay, the writer may have little or no control over the final form of his work. Contracts for the production of plays protect the rights of authors in this respect.
In film or television work, on the other hand, the screenplay writer has no contractual right to this degree of
consultation. While the script is going through its various drafts, the writer is in the driver's seat, although sometimes receiving criticism from the producer and the director. But once the production is under way, artistic control over the project tends to pass to the director This
is a fact overlooked by most journalistic critics of television drama, who tend (unlike film critics) to give all the credit or blame for success or failure of a production to the writer and actors, ignoring the contribution, for good or ill, of the director

8.Why can the novelist expect the publisher to print the manuscript exactly as written?
A.Because the novelist keeps absolute control over his text.
B.Because the paperback novel is most portable and adaptable.
C.Because the novel is limited to a single channel of information - writing.

(C)
Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager
without much of a future. However, on person wants to change this. Stephen Francis
observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann at a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint.
“Where did she come from? ” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs.
But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again at the World Championship in Britain, becoming the world champion with a time of 10.73 - the fourth record ever.
Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one ofthe poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead, only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.
It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who, just a few years previously, had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.
But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world's toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. "I have so much fire buri country,“ Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterho use. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman's as well as a man's world.
As Muhammad Ali puts it, “ Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have
deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision. " One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understandii
of this truth.
11.Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann?
A.He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.
B.He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.
C.She had big problems maintaining her performance.
D.She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.
12.What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?
A.She would become a promising star.
B.She badly needed to set higher goals.
C.Her sprinting career would not last long.

I.Fill in the blanks with proper words. The first letter is given.
Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats. A__1__, scientists have found out that the social behaviors of Chimps are very similar to humans. Chimps will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their t__2__. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their child ren. Who are able from a young age to gather their own food?
In the laboratory, chimps don't naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage w__3 __ he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provi des food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random---he just doesn't care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.
Human children, on the other hand, are extremely c__4__. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in a__5__ common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperation in a series of experiments with very young children.

The core of what children's minds have and chimps' don't is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a " we" , a group that i__10__ to work goal.
