8.When asked to list typical English gentlemen,for many,Colin Firth immediately comes to mind.
In his recent film,Kingsman:The Secret Service,the 54-year-old actor appears as elegant and violent super spy Harry Hart.One minute he's calm and polite,and then in the next he's skillfully violent and aggressive.For example,in one scene he says,"Manners maketh a man",before severely beating up a group of villains(坏人).Firth brings out the perfect mix of typical British style and humor through this performance.
Firth began appearing on English TV in the early 1990s,but it wasn't until he played Mr Darcy,a charming upper class character from Jane Austen's famous novel"Pride and Prejudice",that Firth's career really took off.His portrayal(形象)of the perfect fictional gentleman conquered millions of hearts,especially females'.
In many fans and critics'eyes,Firth has British good looks,British charm,and a gift for characters with a British sense of being reserved(矜持).Movie reviewer Jason O'Bryan described Firth as"always befitting the calm and stiff-upper-lip British gentlemen character".
However Firth doesn't consider himself the authority on gentlemen."I don't necessarily approach every challenge like a perfect English gentleman spy.There are many aspects in my personality that are not consistent with someone like Harry Hart,"he said to Dialogue,an English-language show on CCTV News.
But let's just take his words as another gentlemanly quality-modesty.After all,who might expect an Oscar-winning actor over 50years old to learn to fight for his first action movie?
To prepare for Kingsman,Firth trained for three hours every day over six months.He broke a tooth and got bruised everywhere,but took the damage as a symbol of his accomplishments.
In Dialogue,Firth said he had many other sides-he's passionate about literature and literary research.However,to many of his movie fans,he is indeed a gentleman and excellent actor above a11else.

24.The example given in Paragraph 2isA.
A.to describe the character of Harry Hart
B.to introduce one scene of Kingsman
C.to prove Colin Firth a gentleman
D.to compare Colin Firth with Harry Hart
25.When did Firth come to be famous?B
A.In the early 1990s.    
B.After he played Mr Darcy.
C.When he was 54years old.
D.During his childhood.

A.Colin Firth is violent and aggressive
B.Colin Firth has many sides in personality
C.Colin Firth has similar character to Harry Hart
D.Colin Firth has more male fans than females
27.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A
A.An authority on English gentlemen    
B.A famous actor
C.A charming upper class character 
D.A super spy.

How can you find out what is going on inside a person’s body without opening the patient s body up? Regular X-rays can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs.

What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient’s body.

Doctors use X-rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body. X-rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.

A CAT scanner,however,uses a group of X-rays to give a cross-sectional (横截面) view of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X-rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photo-graphed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another,can give clear “photos” of the entire body or of any body organs. The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active,moving organs,just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”,giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.

Frequent appearance before X-rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually don’t cause the patient to more radiation than regular X-rays do. CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky than regular X-rays.

CAT scans provide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives.
