　　To lift something from the floor correctly, first bend your knees and squat down. Keep your back and hips and waist in a line. If you bend over, the muscles in your lower back can become hurt easily. If you keep your back and hips straight, the muscles are stronger, because they have much more support. The other muscles can then help the lower back muscles.

　　As you squat down, try to get as close to the object as possible. For example, if you are going to pick up a heavy box, squat down directly in front of it.

　　Maybe you will have to spread your knees and legs. Put one knee on each side of the box. Remember at all times to keep your back straight.

　　Put your hands under the object that is in front of you, between your knees.

　　Plants need green leaves to make food. A plant needs sunlight and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) from the air for making food and it also needs water and salts from the soil to make food too. There are certain cells(细胞) in the leaves which change carbon dioxide and water into sugar. To do this the cells need energy, which they get from the sunlight.

　　Green leaves make food for the whole plant. A red leaf can make food too because under the red coloring of the leaf there are food-making cells. There are no leaves which are completely yellow, for they can't make food.

　　The plant makes sugar for its food. In sunlight green leaves make a lot of sugar. The veins (叶脉) can't carry all this sugar away, so the leaves change the sugar into starch(淀粉), which is kept and so stored in the leaves. At night the starch change back to sugar. It is then carried away from the leaves. Some of the sugar is used as food by the plant while the rest is stored as starch. In some plants, food is stored in the roots. In others it is stored in the stem and in leaves, fruits and seeds.

　　Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burned down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? If so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film.

　　The man who knows the answer is the “special-effect” man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood or to make a battlefield explode. And he may also be asked to create a special effect which is much less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film.

　　In a scene for one movie there was a big glass box filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish can't be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem.

　　The special-effect man thought about this problem for a long time. Then there occured an idea for controlling the fish with a harmless use of electricity. First he used electricity to the fish bowl, causing the fish to be completely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity, allowing the fish to swim away. Thus he got the humorous effect that the director wanted.

　　All this requires training, skill, and experience. It also adds a great deal to the expense of producing the film. It helps explain why so many movies are very expensive to make.

1．In the headline, the expression“do it”refers to “________”.

[　　]

A．the movies developed

B．make the special effects

C．special men in movies

D．the movies made up by the director

2．In movie making, a special-effect man ________.

[　　]

A．does the most important job

B．always creates exciting effects

C．finds ways to create something untrue

D．cheats the audience in a special way

3．The example in the passage tells us that ________.

[　　]

A．the movie is on how fish live in a big glass box

B．something happened between the fish and an actor

C．a special-effect man makes the fish move actively

D．it takes a special-effect man a long time to work out a scene

4．In order to make the scene real, a simple action in a movie is probably ________.

[　　]

5．Which statement below is WRONG according to the passage?

[　　]

A．A special-effect men needs training, skill and experience.

B．Knowing how a ship sank in a film, you may be a special-effect man.

C．Not all special-effect scenes in a movie attract the audience.

D．It is supposed that accidents probably happen when special effects are made.
