In America many children act in TV shows．They work several hours every day, so they cannot go to a regular school．How do they get an education?

　　In Hollywood(好莱坞)where many TV shows are made, about forty teachers give lessons for the children in the shows．They teach wherever their pupils are working．

　　The teacher's job is very important．She is responsible for(对……负责)making sure that the child works only in the permitted hours each week．She is also responsible for making sure that the child learns the required subjects．She makes sure, too, that the child gets enough rest and play, along with his education．

　　Child actors(儿童演员)are required to attend classes twenty hours each week．California law says that they must be taught from September to the middle of June．If they do not get good marks, they are not permitted to continue working in TV shows．

　　TV children are usually good pupils, and most of their teachers like this special kind of work．Their classes are held in many interesting places．Sometimes the“classroom”is a Mississippi river boat．Sometimes it is the inside of a spaceship．Often the pupils become famous stars．

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　“My work is done．” Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman．He included them in his suicide note．They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man．The same words could now be said for the company he left behind．Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through．It has been mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively．For 20 years, its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a century's prosperity．One of America's bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed．

　　But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed．Though the ends be needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before．Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world．It is impossible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company．

　　Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stockpiling of family memories．Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility．It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks．It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy, and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor, and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr．on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel．When that sailor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation．From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there．Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity from the Eastman Kodak Company．

　　In an era of easy digital photography, when we can take a picture of anything at any time, we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people．Yes, there were photographers, and for relatively large sums of money they would take stilted pictures in studios and formal settings．But most people couldn't afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives, was memory．Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like．Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection, to the permanence of a photograph．But it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events, the sacred and precious times that families cherish．The Kodak moment, was humanity's moment．

　　And it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that familes cherish．Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings, picnics and parties, be preserved and saved．It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form．Lovers could take one another's pictures, children were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school, the person releasing the shutter decided what was worth recording, and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made．And for centuries to come, those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny．Family history will be not only names on paper, but smiles on faces．

　　The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job, but also allowed the company's founder to engage in some of the most generous philanthropy in America's history．Not just in Kodak's home city of Rochester, New York, but in Tuskegee and London, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology．He bankrolled two historically black colleges, fixed the teeth of Europe's poor, and quietly did good wherever he could．While doing good, Kodak did very well．Over all the years, all the Kodakers over all the years are essential parts of that monumental legacy．They prospered a great company, but they – with that company – blessed the world．

　　That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company．

　　Like its founder, we should remember how it lived, not how it died．

　　History will forget the small men who have scuttled this company．

　　But history will never forget Kodak．

　　The best antistress(抗紧张)medicine we have may be right under your nose!Think you know how to do it?Try this simple test：sit or stand wherever you are and take a deep breath, then let it out．What expanded more as you breathed in, your chest or your abdomen(腹部)If the answer is your chest, you're like most people and you're doing it wrong．Take another deep breath-and keep reading．

　　The technique is so powerful that physician James Gordon, director of the Centre for Mind/Body Medicine in Washington, teaches it to nearly every patient he sees．

　　“Slow, deep breathing is probably the only best antistress medicine we have,”says Gordon,“When you bring air down into the lower part of the lungs, where oxygen exchange is most efficient, everything changes．Heart rate slows, blood pressure decrease, muscles relax, anxiety ceases and the mind calms．”

　　Obviously, everyone alive knows how to breathe．But Gordon and other experts in the field of mind-body medicine say that few people in industrialized societies know how to breathe correctly．They are taught to suck in their guts(内脏)and puff out(鼓起)their chests．At the same time, they are attacked with constant stress, which causes heart rate to increase．As a result, they become shallow“chest breathers”, using primarily the middle and upper portions of the lungs．Few people-other than musicians, singers and some athletes-are even aware that the abdomen should expand when they breathe in．

　　“Watch a baby breathe,”says Gordon,“and you'll see the abdomen go up and down, deep and slow．”With age, most people change from this healthy abdominal breathing into shallow chest breathing．

　　At Duke University Medical Centre, Dr．Jon Seskevich has taught abdominal breathing to most of the 18,000 patients he's worked with since 1990．About half the people he sees have cancer．

　　One of his most dramatic cases involved a lung-cancer patient．“I walked into the room to find this large man actually fighting for breath,”Seskevich recalls．“I had his sit back in his chair and place his feet on the ground．I then asked if it was OK if I touched his abdomen．He nodded, so I put my hand on and told him to breathe softly into my hand, to let his abdomen rise into my hand．”

　　After about six minutes of this, he was breathing comfortably．“All day, people were telling his to relax,”says Seskvich,“and it seemed to make his struggle worse．I just told him to breathe into his abdomen．We didn't cure his cancer, but we may have saved him a trip to the intensive-care unit”
