阅读技能训练（一）Identify Facts and Opinions(区分事实和观点)Topic: EntertainmentAI have always been a great movie fan. I remember myself at the age of 5 or 6 when my granny used to take me by the hand，and we would walk to the Salut Cinema. She bought me ice-cream and chocolate. I liked watching cartoons. Those days were so wonderful.As I grew older I started going to the cinema with my school friends. We still went there though we didn't·have much time. We preferred watching comedies. I like the stars like Jim Carey，but as for Russian films，some of them are not bad. I like old Russian comedies very much.Well; sometimes I also like to go to the theatre now，but I don't go very often. Why? For many reasons first of all I don't have enough time. Also，I'm too lazy to book tickets in advance(预先). So，I can't say exactly which I prefer: going to the cinema or to the theatre. It depends on how I feel at the time.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

It appeared that the man killed himself. But the detective was thinking how the man reached the ceiling，because there was nothing in the house for him to step on. There was only a big and empty box and some water on the floor when the policeman arrived. The detective's helper suggested thatthe man might have been killed by someone else. The killer might have made him hang himself.However，the detective was quite sure that the man had gone to the house alone，because there was only one set of footprints leading to the house. The footprints matched the shoes that the dead man had been wearing. The ground was covered with snow and they could see the footprints clearly. The detective knew that it was impossible for anyone to have gone to the house without leaving their footprints.Since he could not think of an answer，the detective decided to have a cold drink. He put some ice-cubes into a glass and，when he looked at the ice-cubes，he suddenly realized how the dead man might have done it. The box that he stepped on to reach the ceiling was probably full of ice. By the time the police arrived，the ice had melted(融化)，leaving only some water and an empty box.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Reading is the oldest way，but I think it isn't the best one for the development of our lives. Technological progress gives us the chance to get information without any difficulties and without spending a lot of time. Many people all over the world use the Internet and play computer games both of these take up a lot of time and don't leave much time for reading. Television also takes up a lot of time，too.Of course，for these reasons，people now read less than before，especially young people，but I think that there are still many people who like reading now. It depends on what people like and dislike.As for me，I like. to read. My favorite writer is Richard Bach. He was born in 1936 in America. He is the author of twelve books，including Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions. He is also a pilot and airplane engineer.Richard Bach's books are filled with talk of our life. Each time I read any of his books，I am helped in some way or I understand something about human nature（人性）a little better. In his books，Bach forces you to think about the world in a very active way，which I find very different from many other books. His words and ideas have changed my life.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
