When people think of Hollywood, they think of the city where dreams come true. This did not apply to F. Scott Fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this land. Fitzgerald was not a successful Hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he chose. He was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusion. It was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous.

Growing up as a boy, Fitzgerald went to movies a lot. He wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into movies. The problem was: just because Fitzgerald wanted to do something didn’t necessarily mean that he was good at it. He made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script(剧本)to screen too much. His plot was too detailed and complicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental(感伤的).

Fitzgerald’s quick rise to fame also led to his fall. In life, things are not meant to happen all at once, all that the same time but it did for Fitzgerald. At his best time, three of his early stories were made into short films, including The Great Gatsby and Babylon Revisited. As the twenties approached, he was gradually forgotten by the reading public. He became drunk and constantly took pills both to sleep and wake up. His marriage was destroyed and his wife broke down mentally. He seemed unsure about his life.

Fitzgerald had another chance at success when many opportunities came his way, including revisions of Emlyn William’s play The Light of Heart and production of one of his own scripts, Cosmopolitan. However, these were all put aside and he was right back where he started, left behind and called a “ruined man”. Fitzgerald simply wanted too much in his life. He wanted “to be both a great novelist and a Hollywood success, to write songs like Cole Porter and poetry like John Keats”. His addiction to fame held him back and led to his failure as a Hollywood writer.

1.Which is a reason that Fitzgerald failed in screenwriting?

A. He was not talented in screenwriting.

B. He had a miserable family life.

C. He spent too much time watching movies.

D. He was greedy for money in his life.

2.Fitzgerald’s screenwriting was _____.

A. disappointing in ending

B. complex in plot

C. playful in tone

D. simple in dialogue

3.Which of the following was NOT written by Fitzgerald?

A. The Great Gatsby B. Babylon Revisited

C. The Light of Heart D. Cosmopolitan

4.When Fitzgerald had another chance at success, he ______.

A. took full advantage of it

B. went back home to start business

C. refused to make changes

D. started to write songs and poems

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Fallen for Fame Addiction: F. Scott Fitzgerald

B. An Inch into Fame: F. Scott Fitzgerald

C. F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Great Novelist

D. F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Great Screenwriter

According to the Ministry of Health, 260 million Chinese people have chronic(慢性)diseases, and 85 percent of all deaths in China are caused by such diseases.Among them, cardiovascular(心血管的)disease has bothered more people than any other kind of chronic disease.

According to the WHO(World Health Organization), salt consumption(消耗), one of the key causes of high blood pressure that can lead to cardiovascular disease, is much higher in China than in other countries.

Douglas Bettcher, the director of the WHO’s Tobacco Free Initiative, says, “The average Chinese person consumes about 12 to 14 grams (of salt) per day, while the suggestion of the WHO is consumption of less than 5 grams per day.High salt consumption is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and high pressure in China.

Changing the way that food is prepared could reduce salt consumption in China.

Another major risk factor in China is smoking.Dr Michael O’Leary, a representative of the WHO, says, “We know already that one million deaths in China are related to smoking, This is an enormous number.It means that we are seeing nearly 3000 deaths a day in China, or two deaths every minute, related to smoking.

According to O’Leary, about 26 percent of men who die from smoking-related diseases in China die before the age of 60.People who can still contribute a great deal, in other words, are dying too young.

China has tried to ban smoking , but more efforts are needed.

More than half of chronic diseases are preventable by changing lifestyles and reducing risks.The four key risk factors are: smoking, diets high in fats, salt and sugar, environments that prevent physical activities, and alcohol consumption.These are the areas on which efforts to make changes need to concentrate.

C.The number of people with cardiovascular disease.

D.The number of people with high blood pressure.

A.About 12 to 14 grams per day.

B.Less than 5 grams per day.

C.About 17 to 19 grams per day.

D.About 7 to 9 grams per day.

3.Why does O’Leary mention “26 percent of men” in Paragraph 6?

A.To show China needs to try to ban smoking.

B.To show smoking causes the deaths of elderly people.

C.To show smoking causes the deaths of too many young people.

D.To show the number of smoking-related deaths in China is large.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
