The use of the word imitation(模仿) remin...

 

       The use of the word imitation(模仿) reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime(犯罪) or violence.First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous.For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree;fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged.I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting(通电触死) his guard,the technique of doing this being shown in detail.This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.

       In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe;if we were consulted(请教) before production,I used to advise that the details should not be shown.When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this,since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.

       Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi.made by Jules Dassin in 1954.This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweller’s shop,the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound...one of the most brilliant film sequences(连续镜头) of all time.I remember our discussion at the time.We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it;we believed therefore that it was relatively safe.When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied,so perhaps we were wrong.

1.The writer thinks that______.

       A.the details of the criminal technique should be kept

       B.the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen

       C.children should not imitate what they see on the screen

       D.it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen

2.What is the writer’s attitude(态度) towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?

       A.The writer likes it very much.                                 

       B.The writer is strongly against it.

       C.The writer thinks the film has some value.                       

       D.The writer does not show his/her attitude.

3.All the following statements about“Rififi”are true EXCEPT______.

       A.that the robbery shown needs experience and skills

       B.that some very good tools were used in the robbery

       C.that the film showed the technique in detail

       D.that the technique of the robbery was not imitated

4.It can be inferred from the passage that______.

       A.it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary

       B.only people in prison support film checking

       C.only children imitate what they have seen on the screen

       For many in the United States,Arab-Americans are an invisible part of the population.Though Arab-Americans as a community have made great contributions to American society in fields from literature to politics to medicine,many Americans know very little about Americans of Arab backgrounds.

       Arab history in the United States goes back to the late 1800’s when large numbers of Arab immigrants first began making their journey to a land known simply as“Amreeka”.

       Historians generally describe Arab immigration to America in two waves.The first wave took place between 1860 and 1924.The first wave consisted of Lebanese and Syrian,and some Egyptian immigrants.These new immigrants,who were mostly Christian,came to America in search of better opportunities.Even the doomed Titanic,which set sail for America in 1912,had close to a hundred Arab passengers aboard.The majority of Arab-Americans today are descendents of the first wave of immigrants;they are the third or more generation Americans.

       The second wave of immigrants followed after World War Ⅱ,caused by political unrest in the Middle East.This second wave of immigrants consists of mainly Arab Muslims(穆斯林)and continues to this day.

       Arab-Americans make up 3 million of the population in the United States,according to demographers.And quite different from popular belief,64 percent of them are American-born.Eighty-two percent of Arab-Americans are US citizens.

       Arab-Americans are beyond the national average in both education and income.Education is important among Arab-Americans;82 percent have high school diplomas,36 percent have bachelor’s degrees or higher,and 15 percent have graduate degrees.The-median(中位数的) average income among Arab-Americans is $39 580,which is higher than the US average.

1.What would be the best title for the text?

       A.Arabs in America.                                                                                                      B.The Two Arab Immigration Waves to America.

       C.Arab-Americans,Contributions to America.

       D.Arab-Americans,Education and Income.

2.The first wave of immigrants took place because______.

       A.all Arabs were Christian at that time                                                               

       B.Arabs wanted to hunt for a better development

       C.the Second World War broke out                                                                         

       D.Arabs wanted to gain higher income

3.The writer of this passage mentioned Titanic______.

       A.to tell us that taking ship at that time was dangerous

       B.because Titanic became a well-known disaster

       C.to show us there were many Arabs flocking into America at that time

       D.to inform us that Arabs are brave enough

4.From the last paragraph we can infer that______.

       A.Arab-Americans are much more clever than native Americans

       B.Arab-Americans are hard-working people

       C.the higher education you receive,the higher income you will get in America

       D.Arab-Americans play the most important role in the American average in both education and income
