All sci-fi serials require a square-jawed hero and, here, that role if filled by Jack Sully (Sam Worthington), a crippled ex-Marine who is dispatched to a mining colony on Pandora to participate in the Avatar program, where his consciousness is downloaded into a lab-grown Na’vi body. The scientists who run the program, include Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), intend for him to be an agent of peace, but the outpost’s military commander, Colonel Miles Quaritch tasked (Stephen Lang), has other plans. Apparently, a Na’vi tribal is residing on top of one of Pandora’s largest deposit of Unobtanium and the corporation that oversees the mining efforts want them gone. Sully is tasked with infiltrating the tribe in the guise of his alien avatar and gaining their trust, all the while assessing their strengths and weakness for a possible invasion.
LIKE George Lucas, Cameron is one of those writer-directors who would benefit from passing the writing chores off to another party and yet stubbornly continues to pen his screenplays himself. On the whole, the dialog in Avatar is far less turgid than what moviegoers endured in the star wars prequels, but the script still contains its fair share of clunkers. Of course, the case could be made that cheesy dialog in another important part of the sci-fi pulp tradition. Besides, subtlety and nuance have never been among Cameron’s strength; whether its action, romance or comedy, he cannot help but go big and broad. Avatar, like Titanic before it, may inspire occasional fits of giggling and eye-rolling.
It doesn’t hurt that Cameron remains one of the best action shooters in the business; the film climaxes with a sustained battle sequence that last almost 40 minutes and is truly a wonder to be hold. Scene like this one are guaranteed to hook general audiences, but in the end perhaps only sci-fi fans will be able to fully appreciate what Cameron has achieved with Avatar.

The air traffic control system
How does air traffic control actually work, and how does a plane get safety from point A to point B? The system is a complex combination of radar, computers, and radio transmitters. And of course is just as important.
For this reason English has become the common language of air traffic control. All passenger and military flying in the United States are required to present to Central Flow Control (CFC) a proposed itinerary of exactly of how they intend to fly from one airport to another. Although complex, the flight plan is similar to an itinerary you might draw up for a road trip, although this one includes not only direction, but altitude and speed as well. The amount of fuel that will be used is calculated as accurately as possible too. The plan is then approved and overseen by air traffic control.
Air traffic controllers- the people you see on movies who sit in a darkened room hunched over a computer monitor- are also responsible for maintaining a safe distance between planes in the air. Controllers also must direct the planes that air coming in to land to a particular point in the sky so they can land at a specific time-these “time slots” are especially important at a busy airport such as New York’s JFK where planes every minute or so.
The control tower which is seen at airport is mostly just responsible for instructing the pilot which runway to use and when to take off and land. Most aviation accidents happen at take off or landing, so the task of guiding the plane through the maze of taxiways and runways at the airport is just essential as guiding it while airborne.
29. What is one of the things drawn up in the flight plane?
A. The prices of flight fare B. The agent who sell tickets
C. The taxi drivers in the airport D. The fuel used in the flight
E. The airport tax charged for passengers

A. the government’s monitoring B. the pilot’s education
C. the traffic controller’s qualification D. the language used to communicate
E. the most weather forecast

A. aboard B. attitude C. height D. length
E. load
THE NOTEBOOK
Nicholas Sparks
Warner Books
When author Nicholas Sparks sat down to write The Notebook, a tender love story by enduring relationship of his wife Cathy’s grandparents, he wanted his readers to walk away with a renewed spirit of hope.
“I’ll never forget watching those two people flirt,” he recalls. “I meant, you don’t see that see that very often. They’d been married 67 years, and yet they still loved each other. I wanted to write a book about that kind of love. I wanted people to know that unconditional love does exist.”
So Sparks created The Notebook, the simple story of Noah Calhoun, a soft spoken North Carolina outdoorsman who carried his love for the willowy Allie Nelson with him long after their youthful romance had ended. He paralleled Noah’s silent passions with Allie’s haunting thoughts-feeling she could not escape even after she became engaged to another man. He asked his readers to consider what it might mean if these relatively happy, middle-aged people found their destinies once again overlapped.
He presented a question all but universal in appeal: what would happen if two people were given a second chance at the love of a lifetime?
Sparks deftly answers that question. But it’s the inspiration drawn from his real life grandparents that makes the Notebook more than just a novel of flamed reignited. The novel opens and closes with an elderly Noah Calhoun reading aloud from his personal journals and “notebook.” And as he shares the delicate details, the good with the bad, its clear he is as enchanted with Allie in old age as he was on the first day they met.
“And that’s the legacy of The Notebook,” according to Nicholas Sparks. “When love is real, it doesn’t matter that turns the road takes. When love is real, the joys and possibilities are endless.”
36. What is highlighted by the Notebook?
A. Love is blind B. Unconditional love exists
C. A youthful romance lasts D. Mature love is unconditional
E. Love can be very simple
37. In his old age Noah feels that Allie’s…..never faded away as he met her the first time.
A. care B. feeling C. enchantment D. happiness E. sadness
38. What does the author say about real love in the last paragraph?
