In the past, animals were often hurt, even killed, when films were made. Horses suffered most.

  A favorite scene showed horses falling head over heels. A device called the Running W was sometimes used. Long, fine wires were fastened to bands on a horse's front legs and to a log buried in the ground. The horse was made to gallop. The wires tightened, pulling its front legs from under it. Sometimes a pit was dug. Plants hid the opening. The horse would lose its footing when it hit the trench. Such cruel practices are less used today. But still there are films in which animals have been mistreated. Humane societies list these films as unacceptable.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the  1  side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to  2  in good health, or  3  about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to  4  damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text  5  the title. Therefore, the scissors(剪刀)would  6  before they start,   7  halfway done when I find out the   8  result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your  9  . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be  10  up.

How  13  that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life  14  greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.

In fact that is what  15  is like: we are often  16  with the two opposite sides of the thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only  17  we get into another. The  18  may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I  19  remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life. ”So a casual(隨意的)  20  may not be a bad one.
