22、   If you had a chance to prepare dinner for your mother, would you choose to make it right now or some day in the future? Watch the video Paradise(天堂) Dinner by Liu Xiaoyu, a junior at Hebei Institute of Communications, and you will find a right answer.

The six-minute film Paradise Dinner told the story of a son who made a big lunch for his mother, but he can only send the dinner to paradise, because his mother has been dead.

“If you do not show your filial piety to your mother right now, you might never have the opportunity(机会) in the future, because your mother is growing older and older day by day—this is the main theme of my film, "said the 21-year-old Liu.

Liu conceived(构想) the story for Paradise Dinner over his summer vacation.

One day during that holiday, Liu found his parents were not young any more. “So I decided to write a story for Paradise Dinner to call for all people, especially young people, to show more filial piety to their parents,” he said.

23、   The word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject (被拍对象) had to keep still while a picture of it was taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.

When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think: so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle (解决) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.

In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续) of 12 images (图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000 from Stanford.

Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (电影摄影机) in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.

【1】The underlined word “still” most probably means “________” in Chinese.

A.安逸的 B.平衡的 C.直立的 D.静止的

【2】Leland Stanford thought that ________.

A.a horse always had one hoof on the ground while running

B.a horse had all 4 hooves off the ground at some point while running

C.it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

D.it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

【3】Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in ________.

A.1839 B.1872 C.1878 D.1887

【4】Muybridge’s experiments proved that it was ________ who won the bet.

A.Stanford B.Stanford’s friends. C.Muybridge D.Muybridge’s friends

【5】The passage mainly tells us ________.

A.that Thomas Edison created the first cine-camera

B.that Eadweard Muybridge created the first still pictures

C.how photography helped people know more about animals

D.how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of movement successfully

24、My grandfather often complains about how things have changed, and says that life used to be better.

Families aren’t families the way they used to be. Many people are divorced（离婚的）. If husband and wife are having problems with their marriage, they don’t stay together any more. And mothers used to stay at home to take care of their children, but now not any more. Everyone’s working. No one has time for children any more. They are left for their grandparents.

And the cars! No one walks any more; everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winters. And in school, the children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, minus, multiply, and divide in our heads. Kids don’t use their heads any more; they use calculators.

Most families have computers now. In the old days, we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have electricity. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. Nobody eats home-cooked food any more. And people don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think…

Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.
