One of the most famous movie directors is Alfred Hitchcock. He is most famous for his mystery movies. When he died in 1980， he had made over fifty movies.

Hitchcock was born in London in 1899. He was very shy and he went to very strict schools. He studied to be an engineer， but he was always interested in movies. He used to go to the cinema as often as he could. In his free time he also used to write stories that he wanted to make into movies.

Hitchcock gave up the idea of becoming an engineer when he got a small job in a movie company. Later he got a job as an assistant director. He often had some very clever ideas for filming movies， so later his employer gave him a chance to make a movie by himself. His first movie was made in 1920s and it was a “silent movie”.

He made several other silent movies before he made Blackmail， which was his first talking movie， and of course was another mystery movie.

In 1939 Hitchcock moved to Los Angeles， which was becoming a new center for film-making. The first movie that Hitchcock made in the U.S. was called Rebecca. He got most of the stories for his movies from novels and plays. After reading a novel or play， he would create the movie script （脚本） by himself， and choose the actors and actresses， and also decide where and how to shoot each scene.

Hitchcocks movies are generally thought to be good movies because he did these things well： choosing of the story， writing of the script， selecting （挑选） of the actors and actresses， and the creating of the scenes. Hitchcock used to do most of these jobs all by himself.

阅读表达（阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。）

Most people think that making a film is exciting. In fact， sometimes it is but sometimes it isnt. Earlier this year， I worked in a new film. It was about a bomb threat on a big British ship. Two hundred people were needed to act as the passengers in the film. I was one of them.

Before we left， we were wanted to bring some warm clothes. These were necessary because we would spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.

Then the day came and we sailed out of Dover. There were the film crew， the director， the actors and actresses including Brinksley Meers， who acted the leading role， and us—200 amateur （业余的） extras.

People came for different purposes. Some wanted to meet Brinksley Meers in person. Others were curious to see how a film was made. A housewife with her three children came for free holiday and a bit of adventure.

During the voyage， a lot of people were very seasick. Although the work was very interesting， it was also very hard. We often worked all day on one scene， performing it again and again under the hot lights. In the evenings， there were drinks in the bar， but most people were so tired that they went to bed early. The next day often began at 6：30 in the morning， sometimes with breakfast being filmed.

When the ship finally returned to port， most people had enjoyed the trip， but were also so tired that they at least needed a weeks holiday.

1. What role did the author act in the film？ （within 2 words）

2. Why were the film crew asked to bring some warm clothes？ （within 10 words）

3. Who was the leading role？ （within 2 words）

4. When did they often begin to work in the morning？ （within 5 words）

5. Why did the author say “they at least needed a weeks holiday”？ （within 5 words）

阅读理解

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！

Of course he isnt really dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why？ Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains， who crash cars or even catch fire， are professional. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen （特技表演者）.

There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example， they fall from a high building. However， they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress （床垫）. Again， when they hit one another with chairs， the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows， the glass is made of sugar.

But although their work depends on tricks of this sort， it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmans success depends on careful timing. For example， he has to jump out of the way of the explosion （爆炸） just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work， but their lives are always dangerous. They often get seriously injured， and sometimes killed.

1. Stuntmen are those who often ___ .

A. dress up as actors

B. prefer to lead dangerous lives

C. fight against each other for a living

D. perform seemingly dangerous actions

2. How do stuntmen earn their living？

A. By playing their dirty tricks.

B. By selling their special skills.

C. By crashing through windows.

D. By jumping from fast moving trains.

3. When a stuntman falls from a high building， ___ .

A. he needs no protection

B. he is generally quite safe

C. his life is greatly endangered

D. he will be covered with a mattress

4. Which should be the most important for a successful stuntman？

A. Being fast. B. Being brave.

C. Being exact. D. Being strong.
