AAmericans just have mysterious passion for western movies which is the major movie kind of the twentieth century. Over years, classic western movies have pictured romantic paintings of lives in western area. Although its popularity has decreased in recent years, western movie stars have been huge money makers for the Hollywood studios from the very beginning of film industry. I hope you know how hard it is to select the 5 best western movie stars.Tom MixAlthough most of his work was done in silent films, Mix was the first movie superstar, and was paid an amazing salary. He built the form of the western movies for decades to come by.For people who did not experience the 1940s, it is difficult to appreciate how big a star Roy Rogers was.

I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. I know it doesn’t make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.”Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain.He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.Police spokesman Frank Amado said, “ He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes, before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”34.

Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train, taxi or waiting in a queue, people busy themselves with their mobile phones.Some people believe our unhealthy obsession(着迷) with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter. The truth is that technology overall should be seen as just a tool to improve our lives.Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives, but I truly believe it is for the better.It’s changed the way we communicate, whether for work or play. We are now less constrained(限制)by time and geographical location. With my mobile phone, I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam, or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go. I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren’t living in the same country. My phone calendar keeps my life organized, and even Facebook, Twitter, and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!The mobile revolution isn’t just changing the lives of urbanities (都市人) like myself. I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design. She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that, opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations. Dealing with supplies in different towns was a problem for Shompa --- purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to supplies. Shompa also found it tough publicizing her business to potential customers outside her town. But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone, she was addicted. The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers. Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life.Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change? It shouldn’t really be a surprise, though.38.

The advantages of mobile phonesC. New changes in Information AgeD. The author’s personal experiences41. How is the text mainly developed?A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing causes.C. By inferring.D. By comparing different ideas.DWorld Book Day is a celebration of all things wonderful about books for all ages, with author events, school fancy-dress parades and a ￡1 book token（购书券）given to all school children under 18. It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO ) to promote reading.In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rd March 2016 children of all ages in the UK will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough ( Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the UK never pick up a book because they’ve experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy.Jojo Moyes’s Paris For One is a romantic adve nture in which 26-year-old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital -- in more ways than one.Adele Geras’s moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields. Determined to find the officer’s widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him, he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat, who had a terrible fight with his best friend, Joe, ten years ago -- but now hears that Joe is dead, and he must attend his funeral. But Joe is not going quietly that very night -- he’s lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.42. What is the main aim of the World Book Day?A. To promote book selling.B. To perfect education.C.
