On 15 September 1918 Lee Duncan, an American soldier, rescued a half-starved shepherd and her five puppies from a bombed dog’s kennel on the battle fields of France. Duncan chose two of the dogs, a male and female, while members of his group took the mother and the others back to camp. The only survivors over the next few months were the two pups Duncan had claimed, naming them ‘Rin Tin Tin’ and ‘Nannette’ after tiny French puppets the French children would give to the American soldiers for good luck.

       When the war ended, Duncan made special arrangements to take his pups back to his home in Los Angeles, but during the Atlantic crossing, Nannette became ill and died, shortly after arriving in America. In 1922, Duncan and Rin Tin Tin attended an LA dog show, his dog performing for the crowd with an impressive high jump. After the show, Duncan received $350 for Rin’s performance. That was the beginning of Rin Tin Tin’s later involvement in many films and television series

       It happened that Warners (华纳公司)had difficulty shooting an exterior scene with a wolf as they got into a low budget. Duncan quickly approached the director and told them that his dog could do the scene in one take. True to his word, Rin did the scene in one take. As a result, he and his dog were hired for the entire shoot of “Man From Hells River”. The film was a hit and Rin Tin Tin became a box-office star. It was the first American dog movie star. It made 26 pictures for Warners while starring in his own live 1930s radio show “The Wonder Dog”. At the peak of his popularity, Warners kept 18 trained stand-ins(替身) to reduce any stress on their dog star. The star dog was worthy of the honor of having its private chef to prepare daily lunches for him. As a band was playing classical music it slowly consumed a lunch of tenderloin steak.

    Congratulations on deciding to visit the Big Apple. Whether you choose to spend time in the Metropolitan Museum of Art or an S&M club in the west Village, or both, you’re in for quite an experience. NYC(New York City) isn’t nearly as crazy or dangerous as movies make it out to be, so relax and enjoy its intrinsic weirdness.

    Instructions to get there

    New York City, being a major metropolis, can be accessed in many ways: by plane, train, bus or car.

    Flying: There are three major airports people usually fly into when traveling to New York. La Guardia is the closest to Manhattan, and is located in the borough of Queens. JFK international Airport is also in Queens, but a little farther from Manhattan. Newark is in New Jersey and is by far the farthest from the city.

    Train: Amtrak(美国铁路公司) trains arrive constantly in Penn Station, which is located at 7th Avenue and 34th Street. Penn Station is conveniently located in the heart of Manhattan and can be accessed via subway and taxis. Metro North, a light-rail system that runs from Connecticut to New York, is another convenient way to get into the city if you happen to be nearby. Those trains come into Grand Central Station, which is located at 42nd Street and Park Avenue.

    Bus: For those of you on a tight budget (or who are just plain cheap but have a lot of time on your hands), the bus is always an option. Buses----- run by several companies including Greyhound, Trailways, Peter Pan and New Jersey Transit----- are usually much cheaper than trains and planes, and they are just as convenient, arriving at Port Authority, located at 42nd Street and 8th Avenue. Of course, buses take longer and have smellier bathrooms.

    Driving: If you choose to drive to New York City, your best bet is to find a garage as soon as you arrive and park your car for the duration of the trip. Driving and parking in the city are both impossible, and will certainly make your trip miserable. Since New York has excellent public transportation and thousands of taxis, you really don’t need your car if you are staying in Manhattan.

67. In many films New York City seems________.

   A. dangerous         B. traditional          C. convenient        D. unique

68. Which one shows the right order of airports’ distance from New York City?

   A. JFK International Airport—Newark—La Guardia

   B. La Guardia—JFK International Airport—Newark

   C. La Guardia—Newark—JFK International Airport

   D. JFK International Airport—La Guardia—Newark

69. If you are on vacation but don’t have enough money, which transportation is your best choice?

   A. Plane             B. Train              C. Bus             D. Car

70. The biggest challenge for driving to New York City is        .

   A. its high cost                          B. taking a long time

   C. unpleasant smell                      D. parking the car
