14、h parks, and in suburban areas, and are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length.The largest footrace in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco every spring.

21、or millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people
22、go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is unreal to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where
23、 things often appear to be more romantic (浪漫的) and beautiful than in real life.The biggest “dream factories“ are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stori
24、es and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often cant. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the “good guys“ win in the movies.21 The Americans go to the mo

29、ng towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction.Computers are often used as part of automated (自动化的) production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many
30、steelworks.On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing (交换) syst
31、em of major banks and the weather forecasting system.When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers) while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. (78)After the new system has settled dow
32、n, people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm, resulting from the introduction of computers.The attitudes of workers towards compute
33、rs vary.

They realize that comp
34、uters bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to inc
35、reased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run. 26 The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from_.（A）the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introduction（B） their use as part of automated production systems（C） the least possible number of operators（D）th
