  By the time Mother came back, Maggie had had 9 Mother's new spring hat and the skirt of her new suit. Jam stains (斑点) were all over the skirt, all over the walls, and all over the closet door, too.

  Maggie heard 10 coming into the bedroom. Quickly she reached up to turn off the closet 11 .

  “Maggie!” shouted Mrs Davis.

Tom Hanks ranks as one of Hollywood’s most popular actors. Moviegoers(去看电影的人)eagerly anticipate(参加)in the opening of his new pictures. If you’re a Hank fan, you don’t have to wait much longer. Hank’s newest film, Cast Away, opens this winter.

  Tom Hanks plays Chunk Noland, a FedEx executive who lives by the clock. He carefully plans every minute of both his professional(职业的) and personal time. But on his way home for the holidays, the small plane he’s in crashes in the Pacific Ocean. Only Noland survives. He ends up alone on a tropical island and begins a battle for survival. In the process, his view of success and life itself change dramatically(戏剧性地).

This role may be the most physically-challenging of Hank’s career. The actor lost 53 pounds for the part. Director Robert Zemeckis shot the first section of the film with Hanks weighing more than 225 pounds. The filming took a break (间隔)for a year while Hanks lost weight. To take off the pounds, Hanks ate little and exercised a lot.

The movie may surprise some of Hank’s fans. It’s not an upbeat comedy like Sleepless in Seattle or You’re Got Mail. In fact, Hanks spends a large part of the movie not speaking. After all, who is there to talk to when you’re alone on an island?

1.What do you think the expression “live by the clock” in the text mean?

A.To make an income(收入) from selling clocks.

B.To put one’s whole life on a schedule(计划).

C.To behave according to the rules of books.

D.To work very quickly in order to finish a job before a certain time.

2.Which of the followings is not true according to the passage?

A.Chuck Noland goes home to spend his holidays.

B.All the passengers but Chuck Noland survive the air crash.

C.While living on the island, Chuck Noland greatly changes his view of life.

D.The part of Chuck Noland requires Tom Hanks less weighty.

3.How did Tom Hanks lose so much weight? Because____.

A.he had no one to talk to    B.he felt he was too weighty, so he had to

C.he was alone on an island   D.he ate little and exercised a lot
