　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　As a child, Marta was surprisingly creative, painting pictures before she received any formal training. At age 8, she informed me she planned to become a film­maker and stuck to that until, at 17, she and I decided that instead of taking a course in film, she should be apprenticed to a brilliant sound editor, Bruce Nyznik, and his talented associates such as Peter Tilley, with whom I was then working.

　　Marta's love of trains led to the creation of her first film, Train of Thought, in 1991. After that transition from sound to film, she continued to direct and produce, as well as edit. Her works include Shattered Dreams, a 2006 documentary about a disadvantaged youth in Toronto; The Saviour of Ceylon, a film about the heroism of RCAF officer Leonard Birchall; and the seven­part television series Being 80 with Jean Vanier.

Marta was diagnosed with cancer nine years before her death. She saw her cancer as something to be grateful for because it made her concentrate her attention on lasting spiritual realities, rather than the temporary passions that define most of our lives and most of the time.
