Passage Five
The fire moved very fast. The wind pushed the fire right up to the top of the trees. The people fighting the fire could not keep up.
The fire captain was worried about keeping his firefighters safe. The people who have houses were told to get out.
The fire burned twenty thousand acres along a seventy-mile strip in about fifteen hours. Hundred of people who lived there had to leave. They took as many things as they could. The .next day the firefighters wouldn’t let them back down their streets. They didn’t know if their houses were still there.
One lady was lucky. Her garage burned up, but her house did not. Across town there were only broken stones where the local Baptist church once stood.
About seventy-five people who left spent the night at the local high school. They wor- ried about their houses and waited to hear.
The Red Cross is ready to help those who have lost their homes.
The power crews worked fast to fix burned power lines. Firefighters watched to see if the fire was out. They kept the people who lived in the houses out until the fire was out.
An oak tree could still be burning inside. Wind could start the fire again. The fire could spread to grass.
More than three thousand firefighters from all over California were called to fight this late season fire. It is hoped that the fire will be stopped by Monday. The winds need to stop blowing hard.
A:told about their houses B:entertained C:silly D:very worried about their houses

? ? ? ? ? ? {{B}}Problems of Internet{{/B}} ? ?The proportion of works cut for the cinema in Britain dropped from 40 per cent when I joined the BBFC in 1975 to less than 4 per cent when I left. But I don’t think that 20 years from now it will be possible to regulate any medium as closely as I regulated film. ? ?The Internet is, of course, the greatest problem for this century. The world will have to find a means, through some sort of international treaty of United Nations initiative, to control the material that’s now going totally unregulated into people’s homes. That said, it will only take one little country like Paraguay to refuse to sign a treaty for transmission to be unstoppable. Parental control is never going to be sufficient. ? ?I’m still very worried about the impact of violent video games, even though researchers say their impact is moderated by the fact that players don’t so much experience the game as enjoy the technical manoeuvres (策略)that enable you to win. But in respect of violence in mainstream films, I’m more optimistic. Quite suddenly, tastes have changed, and it’s no longer Stallone or Schwarzenegger who are the top stars, but Leonardo DiCaprio—that has taken everybody by surprise. ? ?Go through the most successful films in Europe and America now and you will find virtually none that we are violent. Quentin Tarantino didn’t usher in a new, violent generation, and films are becoming much more prosocial than one would have expected. ? ?Cinemagoing will undoubtedly survive. The new multiplexes are a glorious experience, offering perfect Sound and picture and very comfortable seats, thins which had died out in the 1980s. I can’t believe we’ve achieved that only to throw it away in favor of huddling around a 14-inch computer monitor to watch digitally delivered movies at home. ? ?It will become increasingly cheap to make films, with cameras becoming smaller and lighter but remaining very precise. That means greater chances for new talent to emerge, as it will be much easier for people to learn how to be better film-makers. People’s working lives will be shorter in the future, and once retired they will spend a lot of time learning to do things that amuse them—like making videos. Fifty years on we could well be media-saturated as producers as well as audience; instead of writing letters, one will send little home movies entitled My Week. |
