Why might this be? Both books and movies serve the purpose of entertainment. Both books and movies offer characters and plots. And, both books and movies provide a setting for a story. Books, however, offer a more attractive and plex form of entertainment than movies. Although movies are entertaining to watch, books have advantages over them. First, books, in parison to movies, can more easily seize the depths of characters and create a plex setting through the use of rich description. Books leave it up to the reader to interpret, imagine, and recreate the story in his or her own mind. However, movies are action packed and provide lots of visual stimuli(視覺刺激 ); still, it is the movie not the viewer that interprets the characters, plot and setting. Second, books are not limited to time. A writer can write as much or as little as necessary in order to create and tell a story. Movies, on the other hand, are limited to an hour and a half to two hours of entertaining time before the audience (觀眾 ) begins to get restless. Last, reading is an intellectual form of entertainment. Readers can improve their level of reading and vocabulary in a harmless healthy and pleasurable way. Movies, on the other hand, are not as plex and entertaining as books, and they leave nothing to interpret. Therefore, the advantages and entertainment value of books outweigh (勝過 ) those of a movie. To conclude, books, through interpretation, help the reader develop a sense of relationship to the characters and the story itself, but a movie strictly entertains. Books are a better form of entertainment than movies. 28. According to the author, ________.

Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms. In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足夠的 ) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation. The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present173。day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport munications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television works of many nations. It is a language of wider munication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal munication in such matters as government, merce, industry, law and education as well as for international munication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West. 32. What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Difficulties of Learning English B. International Communications C. The Standard Varieties of English D. English as a World Language
