Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?’’

The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfishes（海星）in the ocean.”

“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”

“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die”

“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”

The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, and said, “It made a difference for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision of the power （力量） to shape the future.

We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

1.One day, the wise man saw a young man _______.

A.dancing along the beach

B.walking with a dancer

C.picking up starfish for sale

D.trying to save as many starfishes as possible

2.The underlined words “something very special” refers to ________.

A.the gifts from friends      B.the strength of making decision

C.our own starfish            D.the ability to make a difference

3.From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.

A.the wise man realized something new and important

B.the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes in the ocean.

C.the young man had the ability to make a difference

D.it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach

4.The writer told this story to show us _____.

A.how and where we can write a good article

B.everyone can do something for the future

C.wise men are sometimes stupid

D.young men are in fact wiser than old people

Writing articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job．Before then I had done bits of reviewing --- novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio．That was how I met Tom Seaton, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had also written for television．He hired me, but Tom was not primarily a journalist, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff．

At first, his idea was that a team of critics should take care of the art forms that didn’t require specialized knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio．There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover, though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable．

Tom’s original plan for a team of critics for the arts never took off．It was a good idea, but we didn’t get together as planned and so everything was done by phone．It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a single subject area, and so I chose film．Without Tom’s initial push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write an extended weekly piece, usually on one film．

The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument --- or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing．But what is my role in the public arena（舞台）? I suppose that people choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity of the director．So if a film review isn’t really a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly don’t feel I have a responsibility to be ‘right’ about a movie．Nor do I think there should be a certain number of ‘great’ and ‘bad’ films each year．All I have to do is put forward an argument．I’m not a judge, and nor would I want to be．

1.What do we learn about Tom Seaton from the first paragraph?

A．He encouraged Mark to become a writer．

B．He had worked in various areas of the media．

C．He met Mark when working for a film company．

D．He prefers to employ people that he knows．

2.The weekly lunches were planned in order to ______．

A．help the writers get to know each other

B．provide an informal information party

C．divide the work that had to be done

D．entertain important visitors from the arts

3.What does the author mean when he says that Tom’s plan ‘never took off’ in Paragraph 3?

A．It was unpopular．               B．It wasted too much time．

C．It wasn’t planned properly．     D．It wasn’t put into practice．

4.Which of the following best describes what Mark says about his work?

A．His success varies from year to year．   B．He prefers to write about films he likes．

C．He can freely express his opinion．     D．He writes according to accepted rules．
