　　No more movies！？

　　YES！More movies!

　　You have helped us upgrade our projector system to digital!

　　By the end of 2017，we will no longer be able to show film movies at the Kent Theatre!

　　Due to changes in the industry，movie distributors will no longer provide film versions of any movies.Only digital versions will be available.

　　That means the 1,200＋adults and children who come to see a movie each month at the Kent Theatre will have nothing to see，except a blank white screen.

　　Unless we replace our projection system，we’ll have to cancel the “movie reward” program developed with our schools and local library that was designed to encourage kids to read by giving them a free trip to the theatre and movie based on reaching reading goals.

　　However，replacing our projection system creates a huge problem for a non­profit institute like the Kent Theatre.While the new system will save volunteers’ time，reduce per­movie costs，and have less impact on the environment (no trucks for shipping and no shipping fees)，the investment is huge.

　　We have to replace our film projector with an entirely new

　　60,000 digital projection and sound system!

　　We’ve already raised

　　20,000 towards our 60,000 goal.We still have a long way to go，so we need your help！Every tax­free gift of 10，25，or 50 will help us keep showing movies for 3 per person and allow us to keep serving the community.

　　How can you help？You can mail a check or drop it off when you’re at the theatre for a show.But you don’t need to wait！Just use our convenient PayPal Donate button below to donate now.Do it now，while you’re thinking about it.You can use your PayPal account or simply make a credit card gift，without even setting up a PayPal account.

　　Click the button and PayPal’s secure system will do the rest.

　　Thank you for helping to make a difference in our community.

　　1．Movie distributors will only provide digital versions of movies from

　　.

　　A．2017

　　B．2017

　　C．2017

　　D．2017

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第四段的“By the end of 2017，we will no longer be able to show film movies at the Kent Theatre！”可知，胶片电影只提供到2017年年末为止，故从2017年开始电影发行商只提供数码电影。

　　2．The “movie reward” program is intended to encourage

　　.

　　A．children to read

　　B．adults to see films

　　C．students to volunteer

　　D．directors to produce films

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第七段的“the ‘movie reward’ program...was designed to encourage kids to read”可知，“电影奖励”项目的目的是鼓励孩子多读书。

　　3．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the new projection system?

　　A．Less volunteer time.

　　B．No film cost.

　　C．No shipping fees.

　　D．More environmentally friendly.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第八段的“While the new system will save volunteers’ time，reduce per­movie costs，and have less impact on the environment(no trucks for shipping and no shipping fees)”可知，新的放映系统节省了志愿者的时间、没有运送费用，减轻了对环境的影响(更有利于环境保护)。文中提到新的放映系统减少了单部影片的费用，并不等于说没有费用产生，故B项内容不正确。

　　4．If you intend to donate money right away，which of the following means is preferable?

　　A．Mailing a check.

　　B．Donating money at the theatre.

　　C．Making an online donation.

　　D．Sending the cash by post.

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“But you don’t need to wait！Just use our convenient PayPal Donate button below to donate now.”可知，如果你想立即捐款的话，网上捐款比较好。

　　B

　　For Canadians，backpacking Europe is a special ceremony signifying a new life stage.Unlike package tours，backpacking is a struggle，full of discovery and chance connections.It is about focusing on something different from our own lives and losing ourselves in a new world，if only for a moment.

　　Well，that’s what backpacking Europe is supposed to do.That’s what it used to do before modern communications，social media，and commercial hostelling(旅社)．Older Canadians would not recognize the Europe that they backpacked in the 1960s,1970s and even the 1980s.Far from a rough adventure into foreign cultures，the European experience has been shattered in part by today’s technology.

　　A few years ago，I took my then 60­year­old father on a backpacking trip across part of Europe and Turkey.As he is an experienced traveler and someone who possesses a strong sense of adventure，I decided that we’d travel on a budget，staying in hostel dorms.For him，backpacking through Europe in 1969 was about independence and struggle.But two things surprised him at the end of our journey.First was how technology­based backpacking had become：Young people were so directly connected to home that they were hardly away in any meaningful sense.Second，the lack of connections we made with locals.Instead of making us feel closer to a place，he found commercial hostelling actually made us more alienated.

　　But there was some room for hope.While technology takes our attention away from the beauty and history before us，there were also ways in which it helped us to connect with our surroundings.Websites like Airbnb have made it easier to stay with enthusiastic locals.CouchSurfing helps organize meet­ups between locals and travelers.The online marketplace Dopios offers a chance to meet locals through enjoyable experiences like a personalized city tour.

　　Backpacking can never be the way it was for our parents’ generation.But doing a little study of history and culture before leaving，and bravely getting rid of any electronic devices while traveling，will help give young travelers a taste of the glory days.

　　.完形填空

　　I remember as a smart child when we met with either family or friends，someone would come up and mention my high “intelligence” and ask，“What are you going to be when you grow up？”

　　Well，it started out being a teacher or a scientist.

　　9

　　it was an artist，a photographer...As I grew older，my dreams of the future

　　10

　　.When I was in college，I was asked，“What will you major in？” This was another question designed to

　　11

　　what I would be when I “grew up”．

　　By then I had set about becoming a computer programmer，so I studied and prepared for that.I was studying

　　12

　　full­time for much of my life，I am

　　13

　　that I could realize my dream，which gives me the opportunity to have a positive

　　14

　　on someone else’s life.However，for many people，there is a “

　　15

　　”，which goes around stealing our dreams and

　　16

　　us of the necessary mental state to reach our goal.Sometimes，the thief will come as a parent，a relative，or a friend，

　　17

　　the greatest thief is just ourselves.At that time，there is a “small” voice inside saying，“You’ll never

　　18

　　，because very few people have ever done this successfully.” And on and on the “small” voice

　　19

　　failure.

　　Failure，though，is exactly how dreams are

　　20

　　.It is one of the most important tools we have，because it teaches us

　　21

　　lessons.And，when we learn these lessons well，we are ready for success，which is probably just around the corner.Remember failure is

　　22

　　，and sometimes we

　　23

　　have to fail in order to succeed.So don’t be afraid of

　　24

　　.

　　However，there are no “overnight” successes，but with perseverance(毅力)，they will come，although many difficulties may stand

　　25

　　the way of our dream.Then how can we make our dream come true？First，

　　26

　　ourselves，as confidence is the key to success.Second，keep a

　　27

　　attitude，as the more active we are，the more likely we will be to succeed.

　　So be true to our dream and don’t let anyone steal it from us.No matter what our dream is，we will surely be

　　28

　　we want to be.Just work hard at it.
