B 
Erin Brockovich grew up in Kansas, USA. She studied at a business college for a year, and then she went to California.
In 1990, when she was thirty years old, she had a car accident. A law firm (律师事务所) helped her after the accident, so she started to work for them later.
Her job was to organize papers (文件). One day Erin realized that there were lots of very sick people in a place called Hinkley. She felt it was unusual, so she started to look for more information about the town.
Erin worked very hard for five years. She visited lots of sick people in Hinkley and listened to their stories. All the sick people lived near a big factory called Pacific Gas and Electric. Then she discovered that there was something called chromium in the water they drank. It was from the factory and Erin believed that the people were sick because of the chromium in their drinking water. She planned to help them.
Erin started a law case (诉讼) against Pacific Gas and Electric. The factory wasn’t happy about this. They didn’t agree that the people were ill because of the water — but in 1996 the judge (法官) ordered Pacific Gas and Electric to pay the people in Hinkley $500,000 each.
In 2000, there was a film about Erin Brockovich. Julia Roberts played Erin and the film was very successful. Now Erin is famous — she has her own firm and she gives talks all over the world.

附加题(共10分)
Years ago I went to a festival called “Le Festival du Court Métrage”. It was a festival of short films. There were competitions and prizes for the best short films. Although it was of great interest, the night of animation (动画片) was the one that everyone would remember. It was a night of animated films from 9 p.m. on Saturday to 6 a.m. on Sunday. Every audience (观众) could get a free breakfast with their tickets on Sunday morning.
There were three parts running through the night. Each part had several animated films and music videos. Some films were so good that the audience couldn’t take their eyes off the screen even for a minute.
I was surprised when I found even the night staff (全体职员) were very happy and friendly. You could tell that all the people there enjoyed themselves. Once inside the theater, it was difficult to get a seat because you had to climb over other seats. Some audience threw around paper planes to show their happiness. 
By the third part of the night you could tell that everyone was getting tired. People were drinking coffee during the break. I tried to stay up until the end. I think it was a really wonderful experience.
