People are talking about the “new economy.” It’s very different from the “old economy”.
In the old economy, people travel to walk. They buy things in stores. They use the post office, the fax and the telephone to send information. They see people face-to-face at their jobs or in stores. People get information from newspapers, radio, television, books and libraries.
In the new economy, people do business through the “net,” which is a connection of millions of computers everywhere in the world. In the new economy, workers often work at home. They can get information online. They can communicate with employers and co-workers by e-mail. Businesses have “virtual stores”. They are websites on which customers can see the products. Businesses can sell to customers anywhere in the world.
In the new economy, people live a fast paced, convenient and colorful life. The whole world develops more quickly than before. But the new economy is a double-edge sword. Its disadvantage is also obvious. For example, the Internet has led to a huge increase in credit card cheating. Some illegal websites offer some cheap or banned goods or services. Online shoppers who enter their credit card information may never receive the goods they want to buy and their card information could even be for sale in an illegal website. So people in the new economy should be smarter and knowledgeable.
The cause of the differences between the new economy and the old economy is ____.
A. the change of people’s idea&&& B. the business people do
C. the use of the Internet&&&&&&& D. the change of people’s life
In the old economy, people can do the following things EXCEPT____.
A. getting information from books&&&
B. communicating with friends by telephone

death valley.” &The name has never been changed.

He pretended to be a pilot and got free
rides on international airlines to countries around the world. He wrote fake
checks and stole several millions of dollars from banks, hotels, and airlines.
He lied and got jobs by impersonating a doctor, a lawyer, and a university
professor, all before he was twenty-one years old. Does this sound like the
story to movie? It is. But it is also tree. This is the story of Frank
Abagnale’s life of crime told in Abagnale’s book Catch Me if You Can and in the
movie by the’ same name. Although the movie is based on the book, there are
several important differences between the two.
Probably the one thing that really sets
apart the book from the movie is the point-of-view of the story. The book,
co-written by Abagnale and a professional writer, is told in Abagnale’s own
words. In the book, he tells the reader, “I did this. This is how and this is
why.” But in the movie, the story is told from a third person’s point-of-view.
This point-of-view limits the details available to viewers of the movie.
Because the writer of the movie could not
include many of the details about Abagnale’s crimes and motives, the writer had
to change things to make the story understandable for viewers. For example,
Agagnale explains in the book how he used his knowledge of the banking system’s
number codes to commit fraud (诈骗). In the movie, Abagnale has detailed knowledge of printing and
check design, like a kind of criminal genius. The movie’s writer never tells
the audience how Abagnale got all of this knowledge.
Another key difference between the book and
movie has to do with the people trying to catch Abagnale. In the book, there
are only a few references to an FBI agent named O’Really, the man in charge of
Abagnale’s ease. However, the movie gives viewers a lot more information about
how an FBI agent, renamed Hanratty, cracks down Abagnale and finally catches
him.
There are a number of other major
differences between the book and the movie about Abagnale’s life, some of which
seem to make the book more interesting while others make the movie more
interesting. In the end, it all comes down to the question, “Which is better?”
Like many other books that have been made into movies, the book is better in
this case. The fictional parts of the movie may help create dramatic scenes for
the movie and help viewers understand the story quickly, but they are
fictional. There is an old saying, “Truth is stranger than fiction.” And in
this case, the truth is both stranger and more interesting.
1. Why is Frank Abagnale most famous?
A. He directed a movie about his life.
B. He stole a lot of money from the FBI.
C. He talked his way into many different
jobs.
D. He was trained as a pilot, a lawyer and
a professor.
2. Which is true about the book and the
movie?
A. Both were not
use.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. Neither was very popular.
C. There are several major
differences.&&&&&&& D. They were written by
the same person.
3. What did Abagnale know about in-real
life? He knew ____________.
A. how to fly a
plane&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. the number system used by banks
C. how to direct
movies&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. the working system of the FBI
