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 film classic 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-be 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 wareho

uses.”

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-by as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years

the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.

24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?

A. It made room for new equipment.

B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.

C. It was done with the help of the audience.

D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.

25. 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 audience requested it.

D. The theater owner found it suitable.

26. What will probably happen to the building?

A. It will be repaired.

B. It will be turned into a museum.

C. It will be knocked down.

D. It will be sold to the city government.

27. What can we infer about the audience?

A. They are disappointed with Bradford.

B. They are sad to part with the old theater.

C. They are supportive of the city officials.

D. They are eager to have a shopping center.

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.

Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone

wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.

wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the

deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.

The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations

grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts

of vegetation (

populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile

Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for

older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.

These include custom-made navigation(

) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed

adaptations. Phil Blythe explains:

“

For many older people, particularly those living alone or in

the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get

out and about without having to rely on others.”

“But

we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results

in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their
