18、 to see(21)_ (late) foreign films. Of course she could see most of these films on television, but the idea does not attract her. It isnt the same, she says. For one thing, the screens too small.

21、(26)_ they started to make a film in our town. Jane managed to meet the director at a party and he offered her(27)_ role as a shopkeeper.

25、ether youre trying to be good at Photoshop, or step up your tennis game, or master a banjo (班卓琴) song, you re probably 31 following the age-old advice that practice makes perfect.
