April 16,2007—A Bloody Day
Brave professor takes the bullets（子彈）meant for his class
Liviu Librescu, 76, a senior researcher and lecturer in engineering, was a Holocaust（大屠殺）survivor who immigrated to Israel from Romania in 1978. Librescu was an expert in mechanics, teaching at Tel Aviv University and the Haifa Tchnion before moving to the United States in 1984.
According to eyewitness accounts, Librescu and the class heard shooting in a nearby room. The students said their professor blocked the doorway with his body to stop the gunman from entering. Some students took cover underneath desks while others jumped out of windows.
Librescu’s son Joe said to the news reporter：“I understand from friends that my father was a hero.”
“It wouldn’t amaze me he would do such a thing,” fellow engineering professor Muhammad said “He is that kind of person, willing to take care of others and protect others.”
Depressed young man shoots 32 people to death before killing himselfA student from South Korea was identified on Tuesday as the gunman who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech University in the deadliest shooting in modern US history.
The shooter, 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui, who immigrated to the United States 15 years ago and was raised near Washington, killed himself after opening fire in four classrooms.
Cho was described as a depressed and deeply disturbed young man whose “grotesque”（怪誕）creative play writings even led a professor to advise him to see a psychological doctor.
The police had found a scrawl（涂鴉）in Cho’s dorm room. “It’s sort of a writing attacking the rich, spoiled students.” “A second note was found near Cho’s body, also containing the same kind of thing.” It could not immediately be determined when the notes were written.
Fellow students in a playwriting class with Cho also noticed the dark and disturbing nature of his compositions. “His writing, the plays, were full of hatred and seemed very angry,” Stephanie Derry, a senior English major said, “I remember one of them very well. It was about a son who hammered his stepfather to death.” Derry said.
“He wasn’t an outgoing kind of person. He was very quiet and always kept to himself,” Cho’s neighbor Shash recalled, “He spent a lot of his free time playing basketball and would not respond if someone greeted him.”
Rod Wells, a postal worker, said that characterization of Cho did not fit his parents, who worked at a dry cleaner’s. He described them as “always polite, always kind to me, very quiet, always smiling. Just sweet people.”

A．current events B．social activities
C．house accidents D．a(chǎn)cademic careers

Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889 in London. Both his father and mother were entertainers and although not of big names, they were doing very well. While the family was by no means rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living. Unfortunately happy life didn’t last long. Father’s alcoholism was slowly, but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce. His mother managed to keep Charlie and his brother Syney clean and warm, clothed and fed. She would sit at the window watching the passers-by and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, making up tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.
Charlie had always believed, even in the worst times, that he had something special locked away inside him. He took his courage and went to one of the top theater agents. With no experience at all, he was offered a plum part (意外得到的好角色) in a new production of “Sherlock Holmes”, which opened on July 27, 1903 at the famous “Pavilion Theatre”. Charlie seemed to change overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do. By 1910, Charlie had become “one of the best pantomime (啞劇) artists ever seen ”.
Cinema was born in the same year as Charlie thought people still believed it was a passing fashion, and would never replace live shows. But after using several weeks to watch and to learn, he was determined to master this new medium. It offered him the chance of money and success—and it would set him free from the unpredictability of live audience.
Charlie’s first film, released in February 1914, was called “Making a living”. After that he made another ten. The public loved him and producers were demanding more and more Chaplin films. In an incredibly short time, Charlie had become a very important man in motion picture.
【小題1】Which of the following is NOT true about Charlie Chaplin?
| A．Mother had much influence on Charlie Chaplin’s career. |

| B．Charlie Chaplin got his first role in a film at 14. |
| C．Cinema was a form of art showing live performance. |
| D．Motion picture was a passing fashion lasting a short time. |
