26、   Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.

The classic film The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.

Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”

Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.

The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.

【1】In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?

A.It made room for new equipment. B.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.

C.It was done with the help of the audience. D.It signaled the close down of the theater.

【2】Why was The Last Picture Show put on?

A.It was an all-time classic. B.It was about the history of the town.

C.The theater owner found it suitable. D.The audience requested it.

【3】What will probably happen to the building?

A.It will be repaired. B.It will be knocked down.

C.It will be turned into a museum. D.It will be sold to the city government.

【4】What can we infer about the audience?

A.They are sad to part with the old theater. B.They are disappointed with Bradford.

C.They are supportive of the city officials. D.They are eager to have a shopping center.

29、   In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself 【1】. Leave. Go.

After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.

I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. 【2】. But I wanted to challenge and get out of my comfort zone. And you now what? 【3】. Only one thing took me by surprise — few students were from the country side. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco... And when I had conversations with these students — in or outside of class — we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this” and “urban that”.

【4】.

And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education meeting a couple of years ago, and a professor, an expert in education, was there to give a speech. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside?” And this man was speechless.

I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.

More and more young people are heading for our big cities, leaving small towns and never coming back. But I don’t want to add to that movement. 【5】. Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.

A. I want to do the opposite

B. Understood the difference in social atmosphere.

C. Get well prepared for your future.

D. I did love my time there.

E. Young people can’t go back to their towns.

F. It was like small town America didn’t exist.

G. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.
