In 1973, I was teaching elementary school. Each day, 27 kids entered “The Thinking Laboratory. ” That was the name students voted for after deciding that “Room 104” was too dull.
Freddy was an average student, but not an average person. He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情）.He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s misfortune.
Before the school year ended，I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words “Verbs Are Your friends” on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs may seem dull,most of the fun things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.
Through the years, Pd run into former students who would provide updates on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and
remained the same caring person I met forty years before. Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.
Just last year, I was conducting a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door. A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the “Verbs” shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother. “Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this.”
I told the story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn’t help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all took something from Freddy.

When I first married my wife, I lived and worked in Ontario, moving from small town to big city as I pursued my career as a radio broadcaster. We have two sons, both of whom were born in Toronto and moved with us to Ottawa. They went to school, grew up there, and then pursuing their own careers, they also moved. One went to Canada’s east coast near a city called Halifax and the other headed to the west coast Vancouver. We had a dilemma; we were left in the middle.
The problem wasn’t pressing at the time because I was still working and my job was in Ottawa. However, as we began to considering retirement we wondered where we should spend our final years. We couldn’t be close to both of our children and there was no telling when they might again relocate. For several reasons, we settled on a small town on Vancouver Island. At least we were close to one of them. However, he had his sights set on Hollywood and, when an opportunity presented itself, he left Canada and headed south. So, there we were, and still are, in our little west coast town. We love our little comer of paradise (乐园）but we paid a price. We have not been there for some important events such as the births of two of our grandchildren. We have missed watching them grow up, backyard barbecues, and the normal, noisy households. Our home, while comfortable, is also very quiet.
Every fall we travel to see the children and try to spend a week or more with them and we make the even longer trip to see our grandchildren, who are now teenagers, actually into their twenties. They seldom come to visit us. The distances are just too great and it is costly.
Fortunately, both our boys are doing well and our grandchildren are growing straight and tall. We love all of them and they love us but the reality is that they
don’t need us. We have done our jobs and at least in theory，we can sit back, relax and enjoy the time remaining to us. In fact, we’re happy but there were times I think about the things we didn’t see. They have also missed having a set of parents and grandparents around.
Life has been good for our family but we have paid a price.
29. What’s the pressing problem that the author mentions in the second paragraph?
A. Both their children have moved.
B. He will have to retire in a couple of years.
C. Where they should spend their final years.
D. Where their children might relocate again.
30.How does the author feel after his son headed south?
A.Quiet but lonely. B. Satisfied but upset.
C.Delighted but regretful. D. Lucky but sorry.
31.We can infer the author and his wife travel to see their children .
A. to spend their remaining years together
B. to spare more time for their children
C. to save more money for their children
D. to catch up on something they’ve missed
32. Why does the author think their family have paid a price?
A. Both they and their children and grandchildren have missed something.
B. Traveling to each other costs too much for both of the parents and children.
C. They have not been accompanying their grandchildren as they grow.
D. They can not live with their children and grandchildren for a long time.

When you watch a movie these days, it’s difficult to tell what’s real and what’s created by using computers. Visual effects can even change how movies are made.
Almost anything that can be imagined by a director can now become reality in the world of movies. “We’ re really not limited by the technology, ’’ said David Smith, the CEO of Sony Pictures Imageworks. Mr Smith said that with today’s technology, the digital world was more realistic than ever before. For The Amazing Spider-Man
2, Mr Smith’s team created a Times Square that was exactly like the real one in New York. “If there are lights inside the stores that are lighting areas inside the store we put those lights there,”said Mr Smith.
But there was still one challenge for visual effects artists, said Paul Debevec of the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies. “We’re still trying to figure out how to perfect the human face in movies, ” said Debevec. He said the movie 一 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was still one of the best examples of computer generated movies, as actor Brad Pitt could be from an aged man to a baby in the movie.
Mr Debevec added that besides changing the look of an actor’s face, there could be another use for digital faces in the entertainment. Last year, effects artists created a digital face of the Asian pop singer Teresa Teng who was dead. Fans could still see and hear the concert on YouTube.
Mr Debevec expects directors will start to use more virtual production techniques, like those seen in the movie Avatar. Mr Debevec says that with virtual production, there won’t be a need for so many people behind the scenes. But visual effects artists agree, even with advanced technology, there is no replacement for a real actor showing a character in a movie.
33. By mentioning The Amazing Spider-Man 2 the writer wants to show that .
A. it was a movie that was really worth seeing
B. making the kind of movie was costly
C. a number of things in the movie are virtual
D. the digital world has become very realistic
34. What does the underlined part “another use for digital faces” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Making old actors very young in movies.
B. Creating an actor that has never existed.
C. Bringing back actors who are not alive.
D. Changing actor’s faces in different cases.
35.What’s the attitude of visual effect artists toward Mr Debevec’s view mentioned
in the last paragraph?
A. Approvable. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
