I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film “Titanic” last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.
Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip-so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets. 26. It seems that the writer of the story works . A. in a small town B. in Richland Hills C. on a farm near the town

When people go to the movies today, they can watch and listen to a story. But when the movie first appeared many years ago, there was no sound or music. Those silent(无声的) movies play an important role in movie history. When movie theaters showed silent movies, musicians were often there to play music along with the movie. Sometimes, musicians also made some special sounds. However, there was no sound in the movie itself. People learned the story through the actors, the musicians and words on the screen. When movies first had sound, not everyone liked it. Many silent movie actors thought it was hard to perform in the new kind of movie. Clara Bow was a famous silent-movie actress in the early 1920s. She was so nervous about her voice that she couldn't become a star in the world of talking pictures. She then left show business.
The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first movie with sound. Talking pictures became a big success, and there were more and more movies like that. Later, silent movies became history. 36.
