Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 45. 
Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, 
made in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing 
him, happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy 
young farm boys were lured to the city to work on auto...eding machine 
malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot 
escape. This serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to 
serve their basic needs. 
Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a 
social context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of 
many who feel they are victims of an over-mechanised world.

“______”. 
A. jogging side by side B. pushing one another 
C. hurrying up together D. running against each other
