Last Thursday, the day before I got on the plane to fly to China, I went to see a movie. It wasn’t just any movie, but the recently released(上映)Harry Potter blockbuster(耗费巨资拍摄的电影)“The philosopher’s Stone” that has   1   Britain, America, and now Japan, by storm.

  The film is a tale of witchcraft(魔法)  2   in modern-day Britain. Based on a book by J. K. Rowling,   3   tells the story of a very   4   baby, seared at birth by an evil wizard who kills his parents. The only legacy (遗赠物)of the tragedy is a red   5   on the baby’s forehead-and magical   6   , inherited(继承)from his mother and father, to fight against and overcome evil.

  The Harry Potter myth was founded five years ago by Joanne Rowling, a   7   single mother living in Edinburgh, in the north of the United Kingdom. To date, 110 million   8   of her books have been sold worldwide. But before her publishers would   9   the first manuscript(手稿),Joanne Rowling   10   agree to change her name on the book cover to J. K. Rowling

   11   it was feared that child,   12   young boys,   13   not read an adventure story written by a woman.   14   , when the books became an overnight success, did it become generally known that the talented and creative author was   15   a young and attractive woman.

  At the start of production, forty thousand   16   actors were auditioned(试演)and

   17   for the screen role, yet Daniel Radcliffe was discovered when the producers took a

   18   and went out to a theatre in London’s west end. There in the   19   row sat young Daniel who was visiting the theatre with his father for an evening’s entertainment. Daniel was screen tested and with J. K. Rowling’s agreement was immediately   20   the part. Now kids around the world together with their parents are quite familiar with Harry Potter and the actor Daniel Reddiffe.

On Saturday nights, A.J.Coston doesn’t get a lot of sleep. Usually three or four times a night, a loud bell rings, a red light flashes, and he has to jump out of his bed. That’s because he’s a weekend volunteer firefighter(消防员)with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Station 13 in Northern Virginia. During the week, he lives at home with his mom, dad and sister and does his main job which is going to high school.

“I have always wanted to get into firefighting since I was a little kid watching fire trucks go by,” he says. “One day on the Internet I noticed that Loudoun County offered a junior firefighter program.” He was only 16, but he got it.

Fighting fires is dangerous work. Firefighters never stop practicing the skills they need to stay safe. Once Coston learned those skills, he was allowed to work inside burning buildings.

“Teamwork is most important,” he says. “It’s the whole team that puts the fire out.”

Firefighters feel great about helping people. “My most unbelievable call was probably the time four kids were struck by lightning,” says Coston. He will be off to college next fall, building on his dream job. “I’ll get my degree in emergency(紧急情况) medical care. and then work in a fire and rescue company for a while. I want to be a flight doctor on a helicopter in the end, but I will never forget the days as a firefighter. These are my unforgettable experiences,” he says.

Coston can’t sleep well on Saturday nights because _____.

   A. he has to work part-time at weekends

   B. he has some sleeping problems

   C. he has to do his job as a volunteer firefighter

   D. he always worries that there may be a fire

What do we learn about Coston from the passage?

   A. He doesn’t like studying at school.          B. He will go to college next year.

   C. He dreams to be a great hero one day.        D. He is only sixteen years old.

In Coston’s opinion, what is the key thing in putting out a fire?

   A. Skills.         B. Teamwork.              C. Courage.           D. Equipment.

All of the following are true EXPECT that _____.

A. Coston wanted to be a firefighter when he was a kid

   B. Coston tried several times before he became a volunteer firefighter

   C. firefighters feel proud that they can help people

   D. firefighters have to practice skills all the time to stay safe
