6 . Is a moviegoer different than a movie-lover? I’d say so. You can love a movie by watching it at home.     1    . I’ve spent a lot of time talking to people about movies. By listening to what they say, I can report they only share one thing in common: they go out.

I’ve thought about two views of the moviegoer lately.

The first view comes from Roland Barthes. Most often, his moviegoers don’t go to the movies for a distinct purpose.     2    . They are bored. Once they get inside, they can’t help but sink into a relaxed state. When they leave the movie theater, these moviegoers don’t want to talk to anyone about the movie.     3    . Barthes sees them as a lonely being, one who is introspective (自省的). I think some of us use movie theaters to retreat inside ourselves.     

The second view comes from the Clark Theater manager, Bruce Trinz. When people go to the movies they go for a certain personal motive. They may want to forget something, or escape from the lives they are leading. Or they may want to see a film they liked years ago.     4    , they are the hopeless addicts who, quite simply, like movies. The only thing I would challenge in this definition is the word hopeless.     5    , but they come to the movies filled with hope. They may not be able to define what they hope to experience, but they will know it when they feel it.

A．Whatever motive they have

B．To be a moviegoer, you have to go out

C．The movie also puts them somewhere else

D．They are instead wrapped up in themselves

E．Because moviegoers go in search of beauty

F．Moviegoers may be hopelessly addicted to the movies

G．It’s something to do with a response to leisure, free time

8 . Last weekend was terrible for awards ceremonies. The BAFTAS,defined by a painful monologue（独角戏）from Joanna Lumley, was watched by 500,000 fewer people than last year. Meanwhile,the number of 18﹣to 49-year-olds watching the Grammys has reached an all-time low.

Don't expect the Oscars to fare any better；they have lost millions of viewers since 2014. Add to the fact that comparatively few people have watched most of the nominated films and you have got a ratings time bomb.

Viewers are deserting awards shows in groups and something needs to be done. But what？Reorganize them to celebrate really popular work？That's what the Oscars put forward last year when it suggested a best popular film category﹣and it was swiftly booed（喝倒彩）out of town.

Another option would be to shorten the length of the ceremonies, but this won't work either. The Oscars recently announced plans to hide several categories in ad breaks,and the anger in some quarters（the cinematographers, makeup artists and editors who this year won't get their moment on the small screen）has been obvious.

What else can they do？ Fewer songs？ Shorter speeches？ An In Memoriam section that consists of the words： "People die： get over it"？

Fortunately, I have the perfect solution： don't televise awards shows. Just don't do it. Awards shows are the opposite of good television. They're too long and too boring because of regular and repeated patterns and too self﹣important. And by God, we should have learned by now not to give celebrities any more attention than they already have. It just makes them think that we want to hear them giving out half﹣baked opinions about Donald Trump and Brexit.

I'm not suggesting that the awards shows shouldn't happen. I'm just saying that the awards should be announced in the form of a press release at the end of the ceremony, followed by a handful of You Tube clips showing some nice outfits and a couple of speeches. That's how most of us consume them now anyway.

1. Why does the writer mention the BAFTAS and the Grammys？

A．To introduce the topic of the article.

B．To support the topic of the paragraph.

C．To attract the readers' attention.

D．To make comparison with the Oscars.

2. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 refer to？

A．The best popular film category.

B．The best actress.

C．The reorganized Oscars.

D．The deserted awards show.

3. What's the writer's opinion on awards shows？

A．Awards shows are better if shortened.

B．Awards shows are excellent television.

C．Awards shows are important to us.

D．Awards shows should be shown in another form.

4. What is the passage mainly about？

A．The bright future of awards shows.

B．What terrible awards shows.

C．Stopping the television of awards shows.

D．Boycott attention to celebrities.
