Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer<br />
to each of the questions.<br />
When we go and watch a movie in the cinema, we see real people moving and talking on a big screen in front of<br />
us. But how are movies filmed and shown to us? In actual fact, movies do not really `move' like we think they do. It is our<br />
eyes that play tricks on us and make the movies look as if they are moving.<br />
A movie is filmed using a camera which takes pictures at a very fast speed. The camera can take 24 pictures in<br />
one second! If it is taking pictures of somebody walking, the pictures will show the different movements of the person in<br />
that one second. Since the pictures are taken so quickly, the difference between each picture is very slight.<br />

<br />
The pictures are developed into long strips of film which are then shown, using a film projector. As we watch, 24<br />
pictures flash before our eyes every second. The pictures go by so fast that we cannot see each one by itself. What we see<br />
is just one picture that seems to move. Our eyes play a part by blending the pictures with each other.<br />
The same method applies to cartoons. In a cartoon, instead of taking pictures of real people, the camera takes<br />
pictures of drawings. Many drawings have to be made just to show a simple action. Each drawing is again made only<br />
slightly different from the others. The drawings are then photographed orderly. When everything is complete and the<br />
cartoon is shown, it also looks as though the characters are really moving.<br />
