You may surf the internet to choose some films for the long holidays. Read the following introductions for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Happiness (Romance) ★★★★

Happiness tells the story of two people (Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy) who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I scream (Thriller ) ★★    

In I scream, Paul (Colin Jacks) is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn’t make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul’s Heroes (Comedy) ★★★  

This is very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers (including Sammy Turblow) have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it’s great fun getting there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 (Drama ) ★★★★

   This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, who plays a hard-working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr Lloyd (Phidl Driver) who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America. This is an excellent movie, which is very exciting.

Women Can’t Keep a Secret

The average woman cannot keep a secret for longer than 47 hours, a new study suggests.

Researchers found that women are overcome by a burning desire to share gossip as soon as they hear it. They will typically spill the beans to at least one other person in 47 hours and 15 minutes.

Depending on who the gossip is about, their boyfriend, husband, best friend or mother are most likely to be the initial recipients (接收者) of the information.

The study of 3,000 women aged between 18 and 65 also found that four out of ten admitted they were unable to keep a secret—no matter how personal or confidential the news was.

The study found the nation’s ladies hear three pieces of gossip a week, but end up passing it on to at least one other person.

Three in 10 admitted having the urge to reveal someone’s secret. However, two thirds end up feeling guilty after passing on secrets.

Three quarters say they are capable of keeping quiet about a secret, and 83 per cent consider themselves 100 per cent trustworthy within each group of friends. Yet, four in ten admit to gossiping to a close friend from another friendship group.

More than four in ten think it is acceptable to share a friend’s secret with someone who does not know them, with over 40 per cent saying their husband is their final one they share secrets with.

Fortunately for some though, over a quarter (27 per cent) said they forgot what they were told the following day.

44. How long can women keep a secret?

A. At least two days  B. Longer than two days.  C. Two days.  D. 47 hours and 15 minutes

45. Women will share gossip with all the following except________.

A. their boyfriend or husband   B. their best friend

C. their brother or sister        D. their mother

46. According to the study, ________ women were unable to keep a secret.

A. 1,200    B.1,800     C. 2, 400    D. 3,000

47. Which of the following is true?

A. Most women are not trustworthy

B. More than forty per cent tell secrets to their husband.

C. Few women feel guilty after passing on secrets.

D. Over a quarter think it is acceptable to share gossip.
