Soon some boys came along and made fun of him. Just then, he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and went back to work.
Ben came happily with an apple in one hand. “I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to come? Oh, but you have to work, don’t you?” “Work?” Tom said. “I don’t think that this is work. It’s fun. Does a boy get a chance like this every day?”
Ben thought about this. Tom went on painting. Ben was watching Tom’s every move. He was getting more and more interested. Then he said, “Tom, will you let me do some painting?”

“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “But you must be careful.”

The Wandering Earth is the first sci-fi (科幻) film made in China. It earned $ 304 million in its first six days in China. It has been also popular in the US now and made more than $300 million so far.
The movie was adapted (改编) from the same-title short story by famous Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, whose book The Three-Body Problem won the Hugo Award in 2015. The film tells a story of people on the earth moving to another planet and saving the humans against the coming destruction (破坏) of the sun.
“It’s amazing that a Chinese movie is so popular here in the United States that tickets are sold out so quickly,” Yang, an engineer in America, told Xinhua on Tuesday.
“I think the film is at the same level with Hollywood sci-fi films,” said Senny Shen, a computer engineer who had just left a movie theater on Tuesday.
“The story is not everyday Hollywood style: superhero saves the day; everyone else is there to give an applause (鼓掌). This movie brings a serious question to us: What are you going to do when facing a terrible disaster (灾难)?” wrote a user under the name CJ-53589793 on IMDB.
So far, the film has scored 7.9 out of 10 on IMDB. More than 3,000 users gave their scores. Many US movie watchers have given the movie high marks.

Do you ever feel like you are just running from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, it is easy to get lost. Then it is important to stop yourself and to think about what you’ve been doing or learning. 【1】
Self-reflection (自省) means slowing down and calming (使平静) yourself including calming your mind. By being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. Some people like to do self-reflection only in their mind. 【2】
School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier for someone to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you complete a unit of study in the subjects, such as math, science and art. 【3】 That is why tests and exams are needed. You can use these kind of breaks to stop and do self-reflection.
【4】 Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem but you’re not sure when to use it. Write down your questions. The next time you are working with the same topic, it will help you remember to look for answers.
Self-reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
A.Others prefer to keep a diary or written notes.
B.It is called self-reflection.
C.Self-reflection gives you more time to think.
D.Sometimes you know the unit is over because of a test.
E.Next, think about things that you are not sure of.
