I. Read the text and answer the following questions. (25 points)
Patricia Denning stars in a sad movie about ambition and heartbreak.
When Cecilia leaves college in Texas, she has everything: a wonderful boyfriend,
Carl, an interesting job and an expensive house in a pretty town. Her life is perfect.
Even her black Labrador dog, Perky, is a star: he wins the local dog competition and
Hollywood wants to put him in a movie.
Cecilia goes to Hollywood with him and leaves her boyfriend alone back home.
When the studio fires Perky, Cecilia decides to stay in Hollywood and tries to get
other movie roles for her beautiful dog.
Carl gives Cecilia an ultimatum: come home and stop behaving crazily, or stay
there forever. Cecilia decides to stay in Hollywood and wants to become an actress
herself. She sends Perky back to Texas and starts an acting course. After six
months, Cecilia realizes she can't act and she misses home, but it's too late. Carl
has found another girlfriend. Cecilia tries to win him back, and also discovers a lot
about herself on her long journey.
This is a very sad movie, which makes you think about what we want from life.
