It’s hard to go anywhere these days without seeing people staring at their smart-phones, but one place that still asks you to turn them off is the cinema. But even this may be about to change. In 36 interview with Variety, Adam Aron, CEO of one of the 37 cinema chains in the world, AMC, said the company is considering allowing phones to be used in its US theaters.
Aron said the plan was to draw more millennials into cinemas as a way of 38 the industry’s number of audience. “When you tell 22-year-olds to turn off the phone so as not to ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow’. You 39 tell 22-year-olds to turn off their cellphone. That’s not 40 they live their life,” he said.
“We need to reshape our product in some concrete ways so that millennials go to movie theaters with the same degree of intensity 41 baby boomers went to movie theaters throughout their lives.”
Aron admits that 42 the idea may appeal to some people, not everyone is going to appreciate having the glare of multiple smart-phone screens disturbing their cinema experience.
“We’re going to have to figure out a way to do it that doesn’t disturb today’s audience, because today’s moviegoers don’t want anybody sitting next to 43 texting or having their phone 44 . But there are ads up there saying turn off your phone.”
Aron did offer one possible solution that could potentially benefit everyone. He 45 designating certain auditoriums as ‘texting friendly,’ 46 would hopefully mean that those who can’t bear to go without checking their phone 47 few minutes can watch a movie in one screening room while everyone else can use 48 .
Whether we do ever see ‘texting screens’ appearing in any of AMC’s cinemas remains to 49 . So far, the idea hasn’t been very well received, with most people saying, rightly, that keeping a phone 50 during a movie isn’t a difficult task. 36. A. the B. a C. an D. / 37. A. big B. bigger C. much bigger D. biggest 38. A. increase B. increasing C. increased D. to increase 39. A. shouldn’t B. wouldn’t C. mightn’t D. can’t 40. A. how B. what C. why D. who 41. A. with B. except C. as D. like 42. A. unless B. while C. because D. before 43. A. theirs B. their C. they D. them 44. A. on B. off C. by D. in 45. A. suggests B. suggested C. has suggested D. had suggested 46. A. why B. which C. what D. that 47. A. every B. each C. all D. some

I remember as a small child when we would have these gatherings where someone would come
Well, it started out being a cowboy or some superhero. Later it was a fireman, policeman, lawyer ... As I grew older, my dreams of the future 51 . When, at last, I was in college, I made up my 52 to become a preacher like my father. So I studied and prepared for that life. I reached success in the end and I was preaching nearly full-time for much of my adult life.
However, for many, there is a “thief” which goes around stealing our 53 . Sometimes, the thief will come as a parent, a relative, or a friend, but the 54 thief is, so many times, just 55
We find ourselves just about reaching the top, and this small voice inside says, “You will never make it.” “You can’t possibly do this.” And on and on the “small” voice predicts some kind of failure. Failure, though, is exactly how dreams are realized. It is one of the most important tools we have, because it teaches us invaluable 56 . And, when we learn these lessons well, we are ready for success.
The message I always gave my children was that you were able to do anything your heart desires. Remember the saying, “Nothing is 57 to a willing heart.” There are 58 “overnight” successes, but with determination, it will come. Imagine yourself in the life you dream of 59 . Then in your heart, believe it will happen for you. Then work, work, work. You get the picture.
So, be true to your dream, and don’t let anyone 60 it from you — especially yourself. 51. A. changed B. meant C. planned D. left 52. A. goal B. mind C. interest D. experience 53. A. money B. children C. friends D. dreams 54. A. greatest B. tallest C. poorest D. oldest 55. A. themselves B. yourselves C. ourselves D. itself 56. A. stages B. suggestions C. lessons D. choices 57. A. interesting B. important C. necessary D. impossible 58. A. many B. a few C. some D. no 59. A. spending B. living C. planning D. changing 60. A. buy B. fool C. steal D. borrow

One August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey, lifting two grocery bags. He followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps became more likely to sting in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door. “Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.” Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again — to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!” She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders. As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion. Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike, trying to call the mini-bus centre, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it. Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock. Just then he reached for the radio mike again. “Call fire station,” he shouted concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”
“Five-ten,” the center replied. Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake. At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.
61. It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when ___________.
A. there are huge noises B. strangers are getting very near C. the air is filled with food smell D. the hottest season comes around 62. Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would ___________. A. have no after-effects B. suffer from sharper pain C. lose his life D. become much weaker
63. Allen failed at the first time when he tried to send his message to the mini-bus center because
___________. A. he was unable to speak clearly B. his radio equipment was poor C. he was in a state of shock D. no one was on duty 64. Which of the following is NOT true according the story?
A. Allen drove to the fire station because he knew there was a rescue team there.
B. Allen managed to make his request of help clear though he had difficulty talking by then. C. The mini-bus centre did help in that they got the rescue team ready before Allen arrived. D. Allen shouldn’t have looked at the wasps when he helped Mrs. Carey.

With the appearance of fast food chains from the West such as McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, the Chinese are being introduced to a diet that markedly increases the death rate from certain diseases in any population.
Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foods such as pork, beef, including sugar, white flour, white noodles and even white rice, undermines one’s health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries, blocking the blood supply to various organs.
This causes diseases in almost every organ, but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones, the heart and brain.
Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures great-tasting, fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.
Certainly the fast food chains make lots of money, but who wants to fill the pockets of a foreign food chain that proceeds to ruin the health of the Chinese people?
Another reason Western fast food restaurants make money is that the food they serve, which comes from assembly lines, will not attract bugs or spoil easily.
How the Chinese could patronize these fast food places when Chinese cook such delectable food, not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension. Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants also do indeed have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere”. However, Chinese food chains could do likewise if they would organize themselves as the Western chains do. These lessons in management and decorations are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words only imitate the style of the restaurants, not the content of the food or the menus in any way, shape or form. Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing absolutely fantastically tasty as well as healthful food. 66. The following are fast food chains from the West except _________. A. Mcdonald’s B. Kentucky Fried Chicken C. Pizza Hut D. Dumplings
67. A diet high in animal foods and refined foods will cause diseases, particularly damage
___________.
A. the heart and brain B. the walls of arteries C. all organs D. the blood
68. The underlined word “undermines” in the 2nd paragraph may have the similar meaning
