Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Competition with research in universities is very harmful to teaching. Therefore, it would be much more beneficial to teaching to develop a sound program of educational research.

Educational research should be required to meet the same standards as scientific research, but it cannot be raised to those standards **parable support and duty. Competent educational research is no more a part-time activity **petent scientific research. The relatively trivial (琐碎的) educational research so common in the universities is an inseparable result of trivial duties by the universities. Rather than look down upon such research, the professors have an obligation to see that it is upgraded.
Let no one think that educational research is easy; it is concerned with no less than solving **plexities of the human mind. There is no reason to believe that an effective theory and technology of instruction is easier to achieve than controlled
nuclear fusion. It is certainly every bit as worthy.

Task 2
Hollywood's true heroes are losing their jobs. Stunt people (替身演员) who entertained cinema-goers by falling for the sky, swimming with sharks and
driving fast ears have been replaced by technology. After generations of street fights, high falls, and setting fire to themselves, these people have had nearly all their work replaced by computers. The most dangerous and costly stunts can now be achieved by **puter picture with live action.
In the mid-1990s there were 12,000 registered stunt people, but more than half of them had difficulty finding work. Sometimes, six or seven teams would be working on a film. Then, after a few days, the producers **e in and say, \"You can go home.\"
The reason was simple: cost. Computer technology made it possible to create stunts which would either be too expensive or too dangerous to attempt. With the rise of digital technology (数字技术), **panies became more reluctant to cover real stunts. \"If they know it can be done safely with visual effects, **panies will not insure real stunts,\" said a stunt person.
Many in their industry believe stunt people should develop expertise in the new technology, acting as advisers on the virtual stunts. Some, however, think that stunt people can survive in their traditional careers. They believe that audiences won't accept stunts produced by computers for too long.
