One of the most famous movie directors is Alfred Hitchcock. He is most famous for his mystery movies. When he died in 1980, he had made over fifty movies.
Hitchcock was born in London in 1899. He was very shy and he went to very strict schools. He studied to be an engineer, but he was always interested in movies. He used to go to the cinema as often as he could. In his free time he also used to write stories that he wanted to make into movies.
Hitchcock gave up the idea of becoming an engineer when he got a small job in a movie company. Later he got a job as an assistant director. He often had some very clever ideas for filming movies, so later his employer gave him a chance to make a movie by himself. His first movie was made in 1920s and it was a “silent movie”.
He made several other silent movies before he made Blackmail, which was his first talking movie, and of course was another mystery movie.
In 1939 Hitchcock moved to Los Angeles, which was becoming a new center for film—making. The first movie that Hitchcock made in the U.S. was called Rebecca. He got most of the stories for his movies from novels and plays. After reading a novel or play, he would create the movie script(腳本)by himself, and choose the actors and actresses, and also decide where and how to shoot each scene.
Hitchcock’s movies are generally thought to be good movies because he did these things well: choosing of the story, writing of the script, selecting(挑選)of the actors and actresses, and the creating of the scenes. Hitchcock used to do most of these jobs all by himself.
Alfred Hitchcock will be remembered for his mystery stories and for a number of good films that he directed.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who falls out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professional. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen(特技表演者).
There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床墊). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar.
But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion(爆炸)just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but their lives are always dangerous. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed.
1. Stuntmen are those who ___ .
A. often dress up as actors
B. prefer to lead dangerous lives
C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D. often fight each other for a living
2. Stuntmen earn their living by ___ .
A. playing their dirty tricks
B. selling their special skills
C. jumping out of high windows
D. jumping from fast moving trains
3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ___ .
A. he needs no protection
B. he will be covered with a mattress
C. his life is greatly endangered
D. his safety is generally all right
4. Which of the following is the main factor(因素)of a successful performance?
A. Strength.B. Exactness.
