Being a Pilot
Have you ever thought about being a commercial airline pilot? Being a commercial
airline pilot is a challenging job. However, some aspects of a pilot's job can be
boring, and pilots often have to work at inconvenient hours. This can be a problem
both for the pilot and the pilot's family.
Did you know that a pilot's work begins before the plane takes off? Two or three
hours before the flight, the pilot sits down with the flight dispatcher to plan the flight.
They plan the exact route the aircraft will take from the information they gather
about the weather, the passengers, and the amount of cargo. The pilot also checks
the plane for technical or mechanical problems by "warming it up" before the flight.
Pilots often say that the worst thing about flying is sitting in the cockpit, where there
is hardly any room to move. Once the plane is in the air, the pilot puts the controls
on autopilot for much of the flight. On very long flights, a pilot may take a break for
three or four hours, leaving the co-pilot to fly the aircraft.
Pilots aren't wealthy, but with some airlines they can earn up to $100,000 a year. If
you want to become a pilot, you need excellent health and a good sense of
coordination. You also have to have the ability to lead a crew and to remain calm
under pressure. Being a pilot would be difficult for someone who does not respond
well to stress because the lives of the passengers depend on a pilot's self-control
and skill.
QUESTION 71. A. True B. False
QUESTION 72. A. True B. False
QUESTION 73. A. True B. False
QUESTION 74. A. True B. False
QUESTION 75. A. True B. False
QUESTION 76. A. True B. False
Not all aspects of a pilot's job are interesting.
The flight dispatcher's main job is to help fly the
plane.
The autopilot is only used when the plane has
taken off.
Once the plane is in the air, the co-pilot has
nothing to do.
One of the worst things for the pilot is the lack of
space in the cockpit.
Anyone can become a pilot if he or she is healthy.

Book clubs
More and more people are discovering that sharing and talking about their favorite
books with others can be as rewarding as the act of reading itself. For people who
feel that they are too busy to sit down with a book, a book club helps them schedule
time to read. Others have gained self-confidence by participating in or leading a
discussion. And most people enjoy the chance to make new friends.
A successful book club should have a group that is small enough so even the quiet
people can be heard but also big enough for many different opinions. The best
arrangement is a mixture of ages, sexes, and backgrounds for more reading variety
and livelier discussions.
The book club could specialize in one subject or type of book, like mysteries,
science fiction, or biographies. Or the members could read books of all types, as
long as the book is highly recommended by someone who thinks it would be worth
discussing.
Some book clubs meet in places like bookstores, public libraries, or restaurants, but
most have their meetings in members' homes. This approach simply offers more
 privacy and time for longer meetings.
To make the meeting go smoothly, a leader should be appointed. The leader will
usually start the discussion by asking what the author's main idea was. Book club
members should never be afraid to offer their opinions, even if they don't like a
book. They just need to be prepared to explain why they didn't like something.

QUESTION 77. A. True B. False
QUESTION 78. A. True B. False
QUESTION 79. A. True B. False
QUESTION 80. A. True B. False
QUESTION 81. A. True B. False
QUESTION 82. A. True B. False
A book club can help people find time to read.
A successful book club only has members who
are the same age.
Most book clubs have their meetings at the library.
A book club should read many different types of
books.
A good discussion leader can make a meeting
more successful.
It's OK not to like the book being discussed.

The Movie Camera

Moving pictures depend on illusion, not only in the acting but also in our eyes. A
movie film consists of a series of still pictures seen in a rapid sequence. After an
image leaves the screen, it stays in the eye until the next image arrives. Our eyes
merge the separate images together to give the appearance of motion.
You can study this effect without a movie camera. Just take a pad of paper and
draw a simple image on the first page, then draw the same image with a small
change on the next page. Keep doing this until you have at least 30 drawings. If you
hold one edge of the pad and flip the pages quickly, the image will look like it is
moving.
A movie camera photographs a sequence of still images or pictures on a strip of
 film, just like the sequence of drawings on the pad. The camera normally takes 24
pictures or "frames" every second. The film is still when each picture is taken and
moves between exposures. However, the movie projector works the opposite way.
The film moves through the projector frame by frame, allowing the lens to show the
still image on the screen for a fraction of a second.
Two French brothers invented the first practical movie camera and projector. When
they showed their first films, people in the audience fainted because a train
appeared to be coming straight out of the screen!

QUESTION 83. A. True B. False Movie film is a series of still pictures.

QUESTION 84. A. True B. False The film creates the appearance of motion.
QUESTION 85. A. True B. False A movie camera takes one picture every 24
seconds.
QUESTION 86. A. True B. False A movie projector works the same way as a movie
camera.
