The film festival at Cannes (戛纳电影节) in France started this week. It is the world's most famous film festival --- it will be covered by more than 4000

- 3 - / 10

reporters! The highest award is the Palme d'Or (French for "Golden Palm"---金棕榈奖). More than 1000 films will be shown over a two-week period.

The Cannes Film Festival is quite old ,it has been around for 60 years. But that's only half as old

as film-making itself ! Photography or the art of "still pictures" was invented in the 1820s. It was

only in the 1890s that "moving pictures" were invented. The Lumiere brothers (Auguste and Louis)

in France invented a device (设备) to record and show moving pictures. They called it the "cinematographe", from which we get the word "cinema". Their first film was "La Sortie des usines Lumière", which was just 48 seconds long! They did the first paid public showing of their films at

the Grand Cafe in Paris on December 28, 1895. Many scholars view this event as the "birth of cinema". You can still watch these films if you want.

The Lumiere brothers didn't think that their invention would really be useful. Gee, were they wrong!! Years later, Louis Lumiere was asked to become the first president of a film festival ---the Cannes film festival!

71. Cannes Film Festival is one of the most famous film festivals in the world.

72. “Golden Lion” is the highest award for the festival.

73. People can enjoy less than one thousand films during two weeks.

74. According to the passage, film-making has a history of 60 years.

75. Movin g pictures didn’t appear until 1890s.

76. “Cinema” was born in France when the Lumiere brothers showed their first film.

77. The Lumiere brothers became the first presidents of the Cannes Film Festival.

Five days after the London marathon, when the hard experience

and muscle ache were just memory for every other runner, Lloyd Scott,a

cancer survivor, lumbered (行动迟钝) across the finish line in his

deep-sea diver’s suit to a hero’s welcome yesterday.

Cold, heavy, wet

Lloyd was interviewed by reporters from BBC and he introduced his difficult experience of his unforgettable London marathon. "During the time I'm walking, I have to pay attention to a great

deal. Although I used to be a firefighter, I can’t ge

diver’s suit to run the m arathon. At such bad moments, I think of the money I'm raising for Clic

which provides a service for children and families. But the hardest thing happens exactly each morning. When I wake up, I have to find out what hurts and how much. You can not imagine how

hard it is to get into the cold and wet diving suit with all your muscles still cold and having to think

about what will happen next, because I also have very poor eyesight and cannot see the broken

stones on the roadside.”　

Excellent example

Paul Simons, an officer, thinks Lloyd has demonstrated a very British sense of determination.

He describes Lloyd as an excellent example to all the nation, who has a unique part of British

character that the whole people need. Karen Sugarman, another fundraiser of Clic thinks of Lloyd

come through that darkest period and he hopes that this run will encourage anyone else not to give

up hope.

As a cancer survivor, Lloyd Scott is a mixture of fundraiser and inspiration. He is serious about

his charity work for Cancer and Children Care. He really did something ‘larger than life’ t very close to his heart. He once ran across the Jordan Desert dressed as Indian Jones, climbed the

Everest and walked to the South Pole… and

this time his London marathon run successfully won

him a place in the record books - for the slowest ever marathon.

There was only one chair on the stage of the concert hall in Northern

England. There was no piano, no music stand and no conductor. Just that

lonely chair.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense. People were nervous and excited.

Everyone in the audience of 600 people knew that they were going to hear a

very special kind of music.

most famous Finally it was time to start. Yo-Yo Ma, Chinese-American, one of the world’s

cellists(大提琴家), came on to the stage, bowed to the audience and sat down quietly on the chair.

He made himself comfortable, thought for some minutes until there was complete silence, and then

he started to play music that was at first empty and dangerous, but that soon became loud and

painful, like the worst thing you’ve ever heard. It was almost unbearable , but finally, it faded away to nothing. Yo-Yo Ma did not move. He stayed with his head bowed over his instrument.

Everyone in the hall held their breath. For what seemed like hours, nobody moved, though the

performance ended. It was as if they had all experienced something terrible and dark. But then

Yo-Yo Ma stood up. He put down his cello. He extended his hand to someone in the audience,

asking them to come and join him. An electric shock ran through the audience when they realized

what was going to happen.

A man in dirty motorcycle leathers got up from his seat excitedly and walked towards the

stage, but Ma did not seem to mind. The great cellist rushed down from the stage and hugged him.

The audience went crazy; suddenly everyone was cheering and shouting, like people do when

they’ve just heard great music.

But this was more than music, just as th e great cellist told us:“You should play not because you want to be good, but because you need to make a sound, music --- the essence of music is about expression.”
