When people think of Hollywood, they think of the city where dreams come trueThis did not apply to FScott Fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this landFitzgerald was not a successful Hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he choseHe was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusionIt was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous

Growing up as a boy, Fitzgerald went to movies a lotHe wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into moviesThe problem was: just because Fitzgerald wanted to do something didn’t necessarily mean that he was good at itHe made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script(剧本)to screen too muchHis plot was too detailed and complicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental(感伤的).

【题目】There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book hand. Of course, we may with our guide-books the history and developments of a town and get to know them. then, if we take our time and in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we it as a whole, we begin to have some which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just this, this shape, this plan, this size?

【题目】Katie was in big trouble. She was such a sweet kid; a third-grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never ever a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn’t imagine why she had made her parents so angry.

It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sit-down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed. So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.

So the next day, I asked Katie to my office. "Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch?" I asked. "I lose it," she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, "I don't believe you, Katie. " She didn't care. "Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?" I took a new track. "No. I just lose it," she said. Well, there was nothing else I could do.

The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said "Katie".

Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child. Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her. But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.

Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.

【1What did the author think of Katie?

A. She lost her homemade lunch.

B. She had her homemade lunch stolen.

C. She didn't like the taste of her homemade lunch.

D. She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy.

【3What was Katie's parents' reaction to the truth about the lunch?

C. They were disappointed. D. They were rather upset.

【题目】Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends much time cleaning sneakers. Some once belonged to him; some were his friends. But soon they will have new owners; underprivileged children in the US and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn's Share Our Shoes (S. 0. S.) charity.

He was once a football star in high school. " I started thinking about all the things I got from running—the health benefits, the friendships, the confidence, " he says. And I realized there are children who don't even have shoes.

Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers, then put out a call to teammates and the town. His goal was to have 100pairs by Christmas 2007. Surprisingly the count climbed to 500pairs. Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools. To date, S. 0. S. has collected and donated over 3,000 pairs.

Woodburn has cleaned almost all of them. People think of it as dirty work, He says. But I like doing it. As I work, I imagine who will get each pair. It takes three to five minutes to clean one pair, and he'll do up to 100 pairs at a time.

To ship the footwear, Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, a nonprofit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipment to children around the world, whose founder and president said Greg's running shoes were a nice addition. For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity. Two boys in Southern California attended school on alternate(间隔的)days because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small the other. Thanks to S. 0. S. ,each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.
