    I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

    The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.

    We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

    I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

    1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

    A.Paul Newman wanted it. B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

    C.He wasn’t famous enough. D.The director recommended someone else.

    2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

    A.They were of the same dge. B.They worked in the same theater.

    C.They were both good actors. D.They han similar charactertics.

    3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

    A.Their belief. B.Their care for chileden.

    C.Their success. D.Their support for each other.

    4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?

    A.To show his love of films. B.To remember a friend.

    C.To introduce a new movie. D.To share his acting experience.

    Nisha Pradhan is worried. The recent college graduate just turns 21 and plans to live on her own. But she’s afraid she won’t be able to stay safe. That’s because she isn’t able to smell.

    Back home, her family do her smelling for her. She’s moved in with them for now, but she’s looking for a place of her own. “Now that I’m searching for ways or place to live as an independent person, I find that the sense of smell is important to how we live our lives,” Pradhan says.

    She says when she was a child she liked to eat and ate a lot. But there came a point where she lost interest in food.

    “One of the first things that people notice whenever they have a smell problem is that food doesn’t taste right any-more,” says Beverly Cowart, a researcher. That’s because eating and smell go hand in hand. How food tastes often relies on what we smell. “When you lose your sense of smell, your whole sense of food flavor s changed and reduced,” Cowart says, “You can still taste the basic tastes. What you’re missing are the small distinctions.”

    “When I go out to eat I have often found that that food is very tasteless to me. I never feel full,” she says. “I think a lot of us today like to pretend to be food lovers and we all like to talk about ‘Oh, I think this could use a little bit more flavor,’ or ‘I think this has a hint of meat,’ I can’t really participate in those conversations,” she says.

    Pradam thinks her smell loss also may have affected her memory. Pradhan may be on to something, according to biologist Paul Moore. “When smell signals come in, you feel about them first. And then you think about it and then the memory is laid down. So without the feel part, the thinking about its part doesn’t come. And that means no new smell memory gets created.”

    1.What problem does Pradhan meet with at present?

    A. That she has no sense of smell.

    B. That she doesn’t have her own house.

    C. That she lacks life skills to live alone.

    D. That she is too nervous to live alone.

    2.What can we infer from what Beverly Cowart said?

    A. People with a smell problem have no food tastes.

    B. Lack of smell sense makes eating a dull experience.

    C. Different food tastes the same for people of smell loss.

    D. People feel hungry easily for lack of smell sense.

    3.When eating out, Pradhan_______.

    A. has a sense of being full quickly B. often has a good appetite

    C. pretends to have good smell sense D. feels left out sometimes

    4.What does the underlined sentence mean?

    A. Pradhan may be crazy. B. Pradhan may be foolish.

    C. Pradhan may be right. D. Pradhan may be forgettable.
