That tradition continues today. The movie industry seems tobelieve that if the story made great book, it should make great movie as well. However, thatrarely seems to be the case. More often than not, great book turns out to be mediocre movie inthe opinion of most viewers. Perhaps that is because readers of the book have already made theirown great "movies" in their heads. Then, when they see the studio's or the director's version of thestory, it does not quite measure up to their expectations. Over the past one hundred years of film production, there have only been handful of moviesthat have fulfilled the ambition of turning the great book into great movie. Literary critics as wellas movie critics applaud both versions of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. The classic children'sstory, The Wizard of Oz, was transformed into classic movie musical that parents and children stillenjoy today. Lovers of the historical novel, Gone with the Wind, continue to be swept away by themovie adaptation starring .Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. Science fiction readers as well as moviecritics both hail Stanley Kubrick's film, 2001: Space Odyssey, which was co-written by Kubrick withthe novel's author Arthur C. Clarke, as masterpiece. On the other hand, there have been instances when not-so-great novels have beentransformed into great movies. Mario Puzo's The Godfather was quite popular at the time of itsrelease as novel, but critics hailed it more for its entertainment value thanfor its value asliterature. The film adaptation of this popular novel, however, continues to be listed among the topten greatest movies of all time. Likewise, the science fiction short story "Do Androids Dream of© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5Electric Sheep?" did not set the science fiction genre on fire when it came out. The movie version,though, made much bigger impact in its medium. Today, Blade Runner continues to top critics' listsof great films. Are there any books that are simply impossible to film? Although film makers would like tothink not, it is good bet that certain books will never be adapted into successful films. Bookswritten in unique literary styles such as Ulysses by James joyce and The Sound and the Fury byWilliam Faulkner have resisted film adaptation to rival the greatness of the books. Film makers willno doubt keep trying, of course. Readers and viewers will have to be the final judges of whether it isbetter to read the book or see the movie. Question 36. What is the main focus of this reading? A. Books that make more money than movies B. Books written about movies C. Movie made from books D. Movie stars who have written books Question 37.

If there were no diseases, the population wouldgrow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in way, diseases arenature's way of keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill largenumbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of disease are called pandemics.Pandemics happen when disease changes in way that our bodies are not prepared tofight. In 1918, new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus,and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been manydifferent pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have few things in common.First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, whilethey may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. good example of thiswould be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it isdeadly. About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease. However,the Marburg virus has not become pandemic because most people die within three days of gettingthe disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to large number ofpeople. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about week to ten days to kill itsvictims, so it had more time to spread. While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common.Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in2002 and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARSfrom becoming pandemic.© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5Question 43.
