A

Imagine a boy from a small village in East Africa, He from a very early age has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows mote about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has dais boy ever had any education?

Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us — our parents, brothers , sisters, friends — are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we are born, not on the first day" we go to school . Every day we have new experiences, like finding a bird's nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didn't like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people.

Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as much as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesn't tell you if you are good at it.

We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who can' t do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.

Among the most heatedly discussed issues about the Chinese film industry in 2004 was probably the absence of a film rating system — claimed to be a vital part of the upcoming China Motion Picture Industry Promotion Law.

The law is expected to offer a legal basis for a wide range of issues that worried the local film industry including copyright infringement(侵犯), online piracy(侵权) of films and pirated films in such forms as VCDs, DVDs, and most recently the so - called compressed DVDs.

"The film rating or classification system is very common for film producers, distributors and exhibitors worldwide, as many countries and regions adopted such systems decades ago," said Li Ershi, a Chinese film historian with the Beijing Film Academy.

"The Chinese public and film industry have long called for the establishment of such a law," he added.

Over the years, Chinese films have been put into categories according to their subject matters such as rural, military, industry or urban themes.

On March 1, 1989, the former administration of the Ministry of Radio, Film, and Television issued the Circular Concerning the Examination and Rating System for Certain Films that roughly specified(指定)four types of films as "unsuitable for child audiences."

The regulation was first applied to a controversial film entitled "Widow Village", which features some love scenes.

But this rating system didn't work very well in protecting child audiences at local level.

Over the years, it has often been reported that some film distributors and exhibitors even label some films as "unsuitable for child audiences" in a bid to attract curious viewers.

Since 1994, China has introduced many Western popular films, many of which were rated "PG'' for "Parental Guidance" in the USA but shown in Chinese cinemas without any labels, especially for teenagers or younger children, because China does not have a film rating system. Li said.

61. According to the article, which of the following statements is true?

A. China Motion Picture Industry Promotion Law, with the film rating system in it, has been put into practice.

B. China Motion Picture Industry Promotion Law has been put into practice without the film rating system

C. Both China Motion Picture Industry Promotion law and the film rating system are still under
