电影是在哪里开始的？人们经常说电影
是美国的发明，但这不完全真实。电影一直是最具有国际性的艺术。19世纪末，世界上有几十个发明家想发展以照片创造动感的方法。这些发明家中有法国人、英国人和美国人。
1889年后不久，当美国著名发明家托马斯.爱迪生率先通过一种叫做活动电影放映机（kentoscope）的仪器放映电影时，世界上同时出现了用于同样目的的其它仪器。爱迪生解决了某种难题，使其他发明家有可能发展他们的仪器。爱迪生另外一个重要的贡献是引用了35mm作为国际标准电影胶片宽度。当用任何35mm的机器放映世界各地的电影成为可能时，电影的国际贸易就开始了。

7. When I told him that his father had been sent to hospital because of a heart attack, he looked as if he didn’t care.
8. The bus suddenly stopped; a heavy bag fell from the rack above him and landed on his head. B.
Where did the movie begin? It is often said that they are an American invention; but this is not entirely true. The motion picture has been the most international of the arts. At the end of
the nineteenth century, inventors in France, England, and the United States were among the dozens of men who were trying to develop ways of using photographs to create the effects of motion.
Soon after 1889, when the famous American inventor Thomas Edison first showed motion pictures through a device called the kinescope, other devices for the same purposes appeared all over the world. Edison had solved certain problems making it possible for other inventors to develop their own devices. One other important contribution by Edison was the introduction of 35 mm, as the international standard film width. When it became possible to use any 35 mm. machine for showing movies from any parts of the world, the international trading of films began to take place.

在许多场合，我们可以听到人们说男子比女子强，这是大男子主义（male chauvinism）的一个表现（manifestation）.
确实， 在大多数领域，男子做得比女子好，但这不是女子的过错。旧的传统观念使妇女不能享受同男人一样的机会，这同这一问题有很大的关系。
还有一种不明显的偏见，那就是根深蒂固的（deep-rooted）女子无才便使得德的偏见（see ignorance as a woman’s virtue）。当然，不可否认这样的事实：五十年来，我国妇女的地位有了很大的提高。
一个经常拖妇女后腿的主要障碍是由社会偏见引起的胆小，它使妇女坐不承认和有意义之事。为了打破世俗观念，妇女们应该坚持这样的信念，即：女子能够赶上男子，超过男子。这个信念能使女子树立信心，克服恐惧心理，彻底动摇（shatter）男子比女子强的神秘观念（myth）.

4. Tom proposed to exchange this stamp of his for that book of John’s, but John refused.
5. He accused his neighbor of playing the records too loudly at night.
6. He is not such a fool as you assume him to be. B.
On many occasions we may hear people say that men are superior to women. Actually this is a manifestation of male chauvinism.
True, men are doing better than women in most fields, but this is not women’s fault. The age-old traditions which prevent women from enjoying equal opportunities with men have a lot to do with the problem.
There is yet another form of invisible discrimination. That is the deep-rooted prejudice that sees ignorance as a woman’s virtue. But of course it is true that in our country women’s status has been greatly raised in the past fifty years.
A main obstacle that often holds women back is fear, which results from social prejudice. Fear keeps women form doing anything significant. To root out the conventional prejudice, women should hold to the belief that they can catch up with and surpass men. This belief will build up women’s confidence, overcome their fear, and shatter the myth that men are superior to women.

May 12 2004 Dear Helen,
It’s fun being a student again. There are always things to learn. I wish you had come with me.
The weather is really nasty. It’s always raining and drizzling. I wish it would stop for a minute.
It’s quite an experience living in a hall of residence. It’s fun, but it’s too noisy! The students next door are always playing their pop records. They ought to know that they’re a nuisance. I wish somebody could tell them that other students are annoyed and that they want to study or relax.
I hope you’ll write me more often. Though I enjoy the life here, I often miss home and feel lonely.
Write soon.
Yours Dick V. Blank Filling
