NEW YORK (Variety)--Eight years after his death, prolific science-fiction author Isaac

Asimov has suddenly arrived as a hot Hollywood commodity, with screen deals for his novels and short stories landing all over town.A deal dosed late last week at Warner Bros to adapt the Asimov short story "The Ugly Little Boy" into a film. The picture will be produced by Denise DiNovi and Demi Moore as a starting vehicle for Moore.In other recent deals, Fox has optioned Asimov's most popular novel series, "Foundation,' for Shekhar Kaput ("Elizabeth") to direct; Paramount is working on turning "End of Eternity" into a film that Ridley Scott ("Gladiator") will likely direct from a script. by "Total Recall" co-writer Gary Goldman; and Sony Pictures Family Entertainment is developing into an animated film series "Norby, the Mixed Up Robot," a series of 10 children's novels that Asimov wrote with his wife Janet, who'll act as creative consultant.Most of the deals will be worth seven-figure paydays if the films get made.Asimov wrote more than 460 works in either book or short-story form. While he wrote some nonfiction and mysteries, his speciality was sci-fi, with futuristic stories that were alien-free and high on pro-humanistic themes.His work has influenced many prominent sci-fi filmmakers, but Asimov action had been sparse. The most recent adaptation was the Robin Williams picture "Bicentennial Man." Part of the reason was that Asimov' s sole passion was his books and his family. He was hardly pushy(进取心的) about getting his works adapted, known to grant film options for as little as $50.The catalyst for the surge in screen activity is that Asimov's estate is now represented by Crested By, a partnership created 1- 1/2 years ago by Vince Gerardis and Ralph Vicinanza, who currently handle the screen rights of about 200 major sci-fi, fantasy and horror authors.

1.What is the article mainly about？____

2.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about____.

Evaluation of energy-saving methods Chrysler Building Location: New York, New York Buildin

Evaluation of energy-saving methods

Chrysler Building

Location: New York, New York

Building Type: commercial office tower

Construction System: steel frame, metal cladding

This report describes energy-saving measures taken by the building manager of the Chrysler Building. These measures range from the simple and quick to the expensive and time consuming.

The most significant energy saving measures were achieved by planting a variety of plants with different growth characteristics, both on the roof and on individual office balconies, which added cooling shade in the summer. The use of inexpensive exterior bamboo blinds during summer months produced significant reductions in need for air-conditioning, which saved the Chrysler building a considerable amount of money. Surprisingly, installing double-paned windows was the least cost-effective measure, despite recommendations by environmental organizations.

Future contributions to the Chrysler Building energy-saving initiative will include planting deciduous trees. In the summer, these will provide shade; in the winter, the leafless branches will allow sunlight into the building's interior.

Note: Building design accounted for 30% of energy emissions and the construction materials of the Chrysler Building accounted for another 30%.

What is the main topic of the report？

A．Gardening flowers and plants

B．Choosing and installing windows

C．Redesigning office space

D．Reducing energy costs

听力原文： There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In some instances, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing and delicious food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, and hats for pets.

In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France, there is a special restaurant for dogs.. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty dogs, On the menu, there is a variety of special tasty dishes for the dogs to choose.

Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in wealth and luxury. There is a more practical and functional attitude toward pets. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Certainly, owners generally have some affectionate feelings for their pets. However, they do not see them as equal to family members. Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.

听力原文：Good morning, and welcome to American studies 101. I would like to begin this sem

听力原文： Good morning, and welcome to American studies 101. I would like to begin this semester by discussing the region of the United States known as the Northeast. This region includes twelve states and a small area called the District of Columbia that is the home of the national government.

The Northeast is a very important part of the United States, for although it covers only about six percent of the nation's geographical area, it contains approximately one-fourth of the country's population. New York, the most popular city in the United States, and several other large cities are located in this region.

Why are these twelve states so important？ In the first place, the Northeast was one of the first sections of the country to be settled by Europeans. Busy cities developed there when most of America was still a sparsely settled wilderness. Many crucial events in the nation's early history took place there. I'll be describing some of those events Wednesday in my second lecture.

Today the Northeast is a great manufacturing and trading region. Thousands of factories produce a wide variety of goods and provide other regions of the country, with items they need. Many large manufacturing firms have their central headquarters here. Some of the country's largest banks, investment agencies, and publishing houses are found in the Northeast. Several of its cities are noted for their fine museums. Some of the country's best known colleges and universities are also located in this region.

Finally the Northeast is the principal location for much of the country's international trade. In the heart of this region New York city is the home of the United Nations.

(33)

A．On the first day of class.

B．At the end of the first week of classes.

C．Halfway through the semester.

D．Just before the final examination.

Is the News Believable？

Unless you have gone through the experience yourself, or watched a loved one's struggle, you really have no idea just how desperate cancer can make you. You pray, you rage, you bargain with God, but most of all you clutch at any hope, no matter how remote, of a second chance at life.

For a few excited days last week, however, it seemed as if the whole world was a cancer patient and that all humankind had been granted a reprieve (痛苦减轻). Triggered by a front-page medical news story in the usually reserved New York Times, all anybody was talking about -- on the radio, on television, on the Internet, in phone calls to friends and relatives -- was the report that a combination of two new drugs could, as the Times put it, "cure cancer in two years."

In a matter of hours patients had jammed their doctors' phone lines begging for a chance to test the miracle cancer cure. Cancer scientists raced to the phones to make sure everyone knew about their research too, generating a new round of headlines.

The time certainly seemed ripe for a breakthrough in cancer. Only last month scientists at the National Cancer Institute announced that they were halting a clinical trial of a drug called tamoxifen (他莫昔芬) --and offering it to patients getting the placebo (安慰剂) _ because it had proved so effective at preventing breast cancer (although it also seemed to increase the risk of uterine (子宫的) cancer). Two weeks later came the New York Times' report that two new drugs can shrink tumors of every variety without any side effects whatsoever.

It all seemed too good to be true, and of course it was. There are no miracle cancer drugs, at least not yet. At this stage all the drug manufacturer can offer is some very interesting molecules, and the only cancers they have cured so far have been in mice. By the middle of last week, even the TV talk-show hosts who talked most about the news had learned what every scientist already knew: that curing a disease in lab animals is not the same as doing it in humans. 'q-he history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer in the mouse," Dr. Richard Klausner, head of the National Cancer Institute, told the Los Angeles Times. "We have cured mice of cancer for decades -- and-it simply didn't work in people."

According to the passage, a person suffering from cancer will

A．give up any hope.

B．pray for the health of his loved ones.

C．go out of his way to help others.

D．seize every chance of survival.
