| Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren't in film school yet and aren't, strictly speaking, even adults? They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Film Festival tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln center. Complete with "red carpet" interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18. "What's really exciting is that it's film for kids by kids," said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. "We want to make this a national event," Ms. Gardner added. The nine shorts to b shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. "A lot of the material is really mature," Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. "The choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke." Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants' (移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country. The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressure. |

| Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones. Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates (估计) more than 48 billions text messages are sent each month. The plan comes from the Warning Alter and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvement to the nation's emergency alter system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alter the public about emergencies. "The ability to deliver accurate and timely warning and alters through cell phone and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan. Participation in the alter system by carriers-telecommunication companies-is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry. The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alters. There would be three types of messages, according to the rules. The first would be a national alter from the president, likely involving a terrorists attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts. The service could be in place by 2010. |
| 1. What is the purpose of the approval plan? |
| A. To warn people of emergencies via message. B. To popularize the use of cell phone. C. To estimate the monthly number of messages. D. To promote the wireless industry. |
| 2. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of _____. |
| A. CTLA B. the Warning Alert and Response Network C. FCC D. federal regulators |
| 3. The carriers' participation in the system is determined by _____. |
| A. the US federal government B. mobile phone users C. the carriers themselves D. the law of the United States |
| 4. Which of the following is true of cell phone users? |
| A. They must accept the alert service. B. They may enjoy the alert service for free. C. They must send the alerts to others. D. They may choose the types of messages. |
| 5. An alert message will not be sent if _____. |
| A. a child loses his way B. a university shooting happens C. a natural disaster happens D. a terrorist attack occurs |
| 6. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? |
| A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon |

| It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. "I'm going to college, but I need a way to pay for it," Deluca recalls saying. "Buck said, 'you should open a sandwich shop.'" That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn't cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000. But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, "After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls." All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. "We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public. We are so successful, we are opening a second store.'" And they did-in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. But the partners' learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their supplies. "It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out," Deluca says. And having a goal was also important. "There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal," Deluca adds. Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain. |
| 1. Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _____. |
| A. support his family B. pay for his college education C. help his partner expand business D. do some research |
| 2. Which of the following is true of Buck? |
| A. He put money into the sandwich business. B. He was a professor of business administration. C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport. D. He rented a storefront for Deluca. |
| 3. What can we learn about their first shop? |
| A. It stood at an unfavorable place. B. It lowered the prices to poor management. C. It made no profits due to poor management. D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwich. |
| 4. They decided to open a second store because they _____. |
| A. had enough money to do it B. had succeeded in their business C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers D. wanted to make believe that they were successful |
| 5. What contributes most do their success according to the author? |
| A. Learning by trial and error. B. Making friends with supplies. C. Finding a good partner. D. Opening chain stores. |

| Melissa Poe was 9 years old when she began a campaign for a cleaner environment by writing a letter to the then President Bush. Through her on efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards (广告牌) across the country.
