Choose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark the corresponding answer on your answer sheet. AQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worse you’ll b3e wasting a powerful tool --- the camera. A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience.

The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms.

We do it every day to get to work, to school or to friends' houses. Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems.
