4.Are you interested in making a film?In fact making a film takes a long time and is very hard work.Writing the story for the film may take many weeks.Shooting the film often takes at least six months.Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night.Each scene has to be acted and re-acted,filmed and re-filmed,until it is just right.Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.
The film studio is like a large factory,and the indoor stages are very big indeed.Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio.Churches,houses,and forests are all built of wood and cardboard.Several hundred people work together to make one film.Some of these people are the actors and actresses.The director of the film,however,is the most important person in a film studio.He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.
Most people go to see a film because they know the film stars are in it.Sometimes the film may be very poor.It is best to choose a film made by a good director.Some famous directors make their films very real; people feel that they themselves are among the people in the films.

3.In  earliest times,men  considered  lightning to be  one of the  great  mysteries of  nature.Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.
In  reality,lightning is a flow of  electricity  formed high above the earth.A single  flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs.
The  American  scientist and statesman,Benjamin  Franklin,was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning  in 1752.In  the  same  year  he  also  built  the  first lightning rod(避雷针).This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage(电压)of more than 15 million  volts.A flash of  lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers,and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year.Lightning hits the Empire State  Building in New York City 30 to 48 times  a  year.In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car.Outside,one shoud go to low ground and  not  get  under a tree.Also,one should  stay out  of water  and away  from  metal fences.Inside a  house,people  should avoid  open  doorways  and windows  and not touch  wires or metal things.
With lightning,it is better to be safe than sorry.

19.Sydney is Australia's most exciting city.The history of Australia begins here.In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1,024 passengers (including 770 prisoners) from Britain.Today there are 2.5 million people in Sydney.It is the biggest city in Australia,and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney.Its warm summer and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants (移民) from overseas.There are three things that make Sydney famous-its beautiful harbor,the Sydney Harbor Bridge,and the Sydney Opera House.
But there are many more interesting things in Sydney:beautiful shops and restaurants,for example,rows of interesting old houses built everywhere in the 19th century.Summer or winter,day or night,Sydney is an outdoor city.
Some Americans think it is very British.Some British visitors think it is like America.There is some truth in both these opinions,because Sydney takes from both the Old World-Europe,and the New World-America,and makes itself into something that is neither British nor American but truly Australian.
