BEHIND THE SCENES – BEHIND THE STUNTS
Being a successful stuntman is a strange thing, since the success of stuntmen is measured not by how well they act, but by how invisible they are! Filmgoers need to see, and to believe, that it is the character on screen who is actually jumping from a helicopter or out of a burning car. They don’t want to know about the stuntman double who is actually doing all that!
Dan Bradley, stunt coordinator for films such as Independence Day, Spiderman 1 and 2 and the latest Bond and Indiana Jones films, is no stranger to danger. Now his job may be behind the scenes, creating and developing stunts, but he’s had his share of seemingly death-defying stunts in the past.
Bradley’s stunt scenes over the years have involved wrecking more cars than he can remember. He admitted, however, that the only one of those cars (including Mercedes, Alfa Romeos and Porsches) that he ever really wanted for himself was the Volkswagen Touareg, the one used in the car chase of the thriller The Bourne Ultimatum. For the purposes of the film stunts only, he even got Volkswagen engineers to reduce its excellent safety features so that the stunts could be performed successfully.
What, then, are some of the key factors involved in coordinating great stunts? Firstly, he explained, you have to plan them out carefully in advance. Then there needs to be a lot of time spent on choosing the correct camera angles for the shots of the stunt. Finally, the stuntmen themselves need to be trained and directed just as if they were actual actors in the film.
In Bradly’s view, stunts are generally more exciting and more effective if they are cleverly worked into the plot and fit in with what the audience knows about the characters, rather than just being stuck in for the sake of a bit of dramatic and dangerous action. Perhaps this very fact is the reason behind the global success of his stunt scenes with cinema audiences!
1. What does the writer find unusual about being a successful stuntman?
A. They perform dangerous stunts.
B. They are often very strange.
C. The most successful stuntmen are those you don’t see.
D. They pretend to be someone else.
2. Dan Bradley’s previous work had involved_______________ .
A. starring in major films
B. doing dangerous stunts
C. training other stuntmen
D. taking part in the latest Bond films
3. What does the writer say about the Volkswagen Touareg?
A. It had been used in several thrillers.
B. It didn’t get wrecked.
C. It had a few changes made to it.
D. It wasn’t any better than a Porsche.
4. How does Bradley create a stunt scene?
A. The stuntmen direct themselves.
B. He depends on good camera work.
C. He takes a lot of dangerous risks.
D. He researches the story and characters.
5. The reason why Bradley’s stunt scenes are so successful is that they are____________ .
A. believable
B. unbelievable
C. exciting
D. dramatic
B. Read the text below and fill in each of the blanks with ONE suitable word. (4 points)
Finding the Right Word
A recent study has suggested an answer to a question that has occupied philosophers for centuries: Do people need words in (1) _______ to think? A tribe living in the Amazon basin could provide the answer. The Piraha tribe may be small – there are only about 200 members all told – (2) _______ they exhibit a fascinating cultural peculiarity. These people have no words for numbers, apart from “one”, “two” and “many”. What is more, (3) _______ words for “one” and “two” are very similar. As far as anyone can tell, this tribe has never had any sort of vocabulary for numbers, but (4) _______ appear to survive quite well without it.
It was soon realised that these people might supply an insight (5) _______ the way our minds work. Studies have shown that adult members of the tribe are no (6) _______ at counting than a baby is at speaking. (7) _______ they were shown a row of objects and asked to duplicate the number they saw, they could not get beyond two or three before starting to make mistakes. This applies even to adults who appear reasonably intelligent in (8) _______ other way.
So it looks (9) _______ though the Piraha are not very good at counting simply because they do not have a vocabulary for numbers. This would suggest that human beings in general cannot think if they have no words to do (10) _______.
PART 4: WRITING (5 POINTS)
A. Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given. DO NOT CHANGE THE WORD GIVEN. YOU MUST USE BETWEEN TWO AND FIVE WORDS, INCLUDING THE WORD GIVEN. (1 point)

1. I said some mean things to my friend and now I feel really bad. (wish)

2. Henry found a wallet with no name in it. (which)
