The use of the word imitation（模仿） reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime（犯罪） or violence．First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous．For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree;fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged．I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting（通電觸死） his guard,the technique of doing this being shown in detail．This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons．

       In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe;if we were consulted（請(qǐng)教） before production,I used to advise that the details should not be shown．When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this,since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime．

       Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi．made by Jules Dassin in 1954．This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweller’s shop,the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound．．．one of the most brilliant film sequences（連續(xù)鏡頭） of all time．I remember our discussion at the time．We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it;we believed therefore that it was relatively safe．When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied,so perhaps we were wrong．

The writer thinks that______．

       A．the details of the criminal technique should be kept

       B．the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen

       C．children should not imitate what they see on the screen

       D．it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen

What is the writer’s attitude（態(tài)度） towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?

       A．The writer likes it very much．               

       B．The writer is strongly against it．

       C．The writer thinks the film has some value．     

       D．The writer does not show his/her attitude．

All the following statements about“Rififi”are true EXCEPT______．

       A．that the robbery shown needs experience and skills

       B．that some very good tools were used in the robbery

       C．that the film showed the technique in detail

       D．that the technique of the robbery was not imitated

It can be inferred from the passage that______．

       A．it is hard for children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginary

       B．only people in prison support film checking

       C．only children imitate what they have seen on the screen

       D．the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown

Rare birds in the UK have been living far better than the more common birds over the last decade due to the efforts of conservation organisations, according to a new assessment.

The research shows almost 60% of the 63 rare birds that live in the UK have increased over the last 10 years.

By contrast, only about one third of common species have increased over the same period. Just 28% of rare birds have decreased over the same period, compared with four out of every 10 common birds. The rare birds described in the assessment with increasing populations include the osprey (鶚) and corncrake (秧雞). All of these birds are subject to conservation action.

The declining common birds include the nightingale, swift (雨燕), house sparrow and red grouse (蘇格蘭雷鳥). These are suffering declines for a variety of reasons, including changes in farming practices.

Dr David Noble, from the British Trust for Ornithology, said: “That some of our rarer birds have responded to targeted conservation action is great news. It shows just what can be achieved. What we need to do now is to continue the good work and use some of the lessons we have learned to help our more common birds.”

Dr Mark Avery, the conservation director of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), said: “Over the last decade we've enjoyed some great conservation successes, including removing some threatened species from the World Conservation Union's Red List of Thratened Animals and increasing the populations of red kite, osprey, etc. However, these successes are countered (抵消) by continued declines of some widespread species.”

The overview of 210 native birds has been produced by a group of conservation organisations, to mark the publication of The State of the UK's Birds report, which is in its l0th year. The report was published by the RSPB for a group of conservation organisations.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The decline of widespread birds is not worrying for the UK.

B. The UK has got some practical experience of bird conservation.

C. Changes in farming practices contribute to the increase of rare birds.

D. Half of common birds have decreased in the past ten years in the UK.

We can learn from the passage that Dr David Noble      .

A. hopes that conservation organisations will change the way they work

B. is quite disappointed with the result of the new assessment

C. is losing confidence in conservation organizations’ action

D. has high hopes for the increase in bird population in Britain

Which of the following can best explain Dr Mark Avery's words?

A. The UK should not be satisfied with what they have achieved.

B. The UK should share their experience with other countries.

C. What conservation organisations do is far from satisfactory.

D. The RSPB is responsible for the decrease of common birds.

The passage is most likely to be found in a book about      .

A. popular science        B. historical events

C. nature              D. society

The author's purpose of writing this article is to tell people      .

A. some good ways to protect rare birds
