3.I first met Paul Newman in 1968,when George Roy Hill,the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,introduced us in New York City.When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me.I don't know how many people would have done that;they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
      The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference,we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors:humorous,aggressive,and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen.
      We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success,you should put something back-he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill,and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly,but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
      I last saw him a few months ago.He'd been in  and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn't talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.

7.Just 50years ago Manx seemed to be on the point of disappearing."If you spoke Manx in a pub on the island in the 1960s,it was considered provocative(挑衅的) and you were likely to find yourself in a fight,"recalls Brian Stowell,a 76-year-old islander who has written a Manx-language novel,The Vampire Murders,and presents a radio show on Manx Radio spreading the language every Sunday.
The language itself is similar to the Gaelic tongues spoken in the island's neighbours,Ireland and Scotland.A century ago,"Moghrey mie"would have been commonly heard instead of good morning on the island.
"In the 1860s there were thousands of Manx people who couldn't speak English,"says Stowell."But only a century later it was considered to be so backwards to speak the language that there were stories of Manx speakers getting stones thrown at them in the towns."I learnt it myself from one of the last surviving native speakers back in the 1950s."
Recession(经济衰退) in the mid 19th Century forced many Manx residents to leave the island to seek work in England.And parents were not willing to pass the language down through the generations,with many believing that to have Manx as a first language would affect job opportunities overseas.
There was a fall in the language.By the early 1960s there were perhaps as few as 200who spoke the tongue.The last native speaker,Ned Maddrell,died in 1974.Unesco(联合国教科文组织) pronounced the language died out in the 1990s.
Now there is even a Manx language primary school in which all subjects are taught in the language,with more than 60pupils attending.Manx is also taught in other schools across the island.
9.What does"Moghrey mie"mean according to the passage?D
A.All the best.
B.Congratulations.
C.Never mind.
D.Good morning.
10.Many Manx people went to England toC.
A.learn Manx    
B.teach English     
C.look for jobs     
D.attend college
11.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.The Manx language.
B.The life of Manx people
C.The Manx island.
D.The Manx language school.
