    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。

    　　I had a sudden understanding recently as I watched the movie Life Is Beautiful: certain DVDs ought to carry a warning that they are unsuitable for watching in public. There I was, viewing the Oscar winner on a portable (手提式) DVD player and crying like a widow who freshly lost husband. The last time I cried so hard at a movie was as a kid when Old Yeller died at the end. This time, I was crying on a 7:30 a. m. train to Manhattan. People, understandably, were staring.

    　　As the price of portable DVD players continues to drop, I doubt that public displays of feeling will soon be common on mass transportation and in other places where folks with electronic toys are forced to kill time. There was few better time killers than movies. And just wait until you try a portable DVD player with headphones. Those headphones, by the way, are key; since this is DVD, the sound is CD quality. That makes the overall effect more powerful.

    　　To get the full taste of the experience, I chose two machines from opposite ends of the price range (范围): Sony's new, state-of-the-art DVP-FX1 ($ 1, 500 ) and Aiwa's older XD-DWI ($ 650 ). Given its price, I didn't expect the Aiwa machine to be in the same league as the Sony. I was wrong. Indeed, if your portable DVD needs are like mine, you probably shouldn't even consider the high end Sony.

    　　What are my needs? I want my machines to plug into my TV, so I can use it as a DVD player at home, but also be portable enough to use on the train or even in the car without headphones.

    　　Both machines performed extremely well under bumpy conditions, which surprised me. We were able to watch BOWFINGER while driving over railroad ties without missing a frame. And both machines easily attached to my home television, bringing the intense, digital clarity(高清晰度数字画面) of DVD to the larger screen. Life is indeed beautiful.

    1．The writer's purpose in writing the text is to tell the readers ________ .

    [　　]

    A．about his experence in his travel

    B．DVDs should be carried to watch movies in public

    C．a DVD player can make your life wonderful

    D．what he needs.

    2．In the text, “time killers ”means ________ .

    [　　]

    A．transportation.
    B．headphones.
    C．children's toys.
    D．DVD players.

    3．We can infer from the text ________ .

    [　　]

    A．more and more people will buy portable DVD players.

    B．DVP-FX I's price is higher than XD-DWI

    C．The writer needs a DVD player that can be used both at home and in public.

    D．Old Yeller was the writer's friend.

    4．The writer suggests ________ .

    [　　]

    A．you buy a Sony DVD player and a Aiwa DVD player.

    B．you watch DVD under bumpy conditions.

    C．you choose Aiwa machine.

    D．you have a portable DVD player with larger screen.

    12-year-old Romina Mohaqqeq, believed to be Iran’s youngest filmmaker, is dreaming of winning an Oscar someday.

    “I will not regard myself a filmmaker until I win an Oscar,” she remarks. Born in 1998, she has so far directed several documentaries(纪录片) and short films and has received several awards at national and international festivals.

    “I made my first documentary when I was eight years old. The idea came to my mind when I saw an Afghan boy who was collecting paper in a dustbin near our house. I thought it might be a good topic for a documentary,” she said.

    “I asked my dad to make a movie about this boy but he said that it would not be an interesting topic. He told me to work on the topic myself if I liked it, so I made my first documentary and named it Long Way”.

    Romina’s “Long Way” took the best film award at Roshd International Film Festival in 2007, encouraging her to continue filmmaking. “Next, I adapted a story published in a magazine and made the short film A Box Full of Affection”.

    “We also reviewed the book Film Directing Shot by Shot. We read all the sections together where she learned the entire process from pre-production to post-production.”

    Romina also played in one of her dad’s productions when she was 6, and acted in the

    movie The Earrings. She was among the judges of 39th edition of the Roshd International

    film Festival.
