Shirley Lewis is a 68-year-old woman who likes the Mamma Mia films and also suffers much from Alzheimer's disease.
So when a fellow movie-goer disliked the woman loudly singing along to Mamma Mia 2, the theater stepped up to the plate by hosting an entire showing of the film just for people with dementia.
Lewis had gone to the Cineworld movie theater in Cwmbran, Wales to see the film with her daughter Rhiannon last month. The senior was so delighted by the music, she started singing along to all the ABBA tunes in the film.
Unfortunately, some other audiences were not as pleased by Lewis's enthusiasm. The people sitting behind Lewis and her daughter in the cinema started "huffing, puffing and tutting" over her singing along.
Rhiannon was made so uncomfortable by the people's noises, she ended up leaving the theater with her mother.
"My mom was really sad. She did not want to leave the cinema, "she added.
Phiannon posted about the event on Facebook and expressed her frustration that her mother was not able to fully enjoy the film.
The post was shared hundreds of times until it was finally seen by the workers at Cineworld. The theater not only offered free tickets to Rhiannon and her mother, they also hosted an entire screening for people with dementia and offered discounted tickets. Over 100 excited people with dementia showed up for the event. Additionally, all of the money made from the screening were donated to the Alzheimer's Society.
"The event means a lot to us as a family," Rhiannon happily told the news outlet. "The screening of the film should now raise awareness of dementia and teach people more about it."
【1】Why did Lewis sing loudly along to Mamma Mia 2?
A.She was delighted while watching the film. B.She wanted to disturb other movie-goers.
C.Her disease broke out suddenly. D.She wanted to catch the attention of the theater.
【2】What did people do when Lewis sang loudly?
A.They asked her to leave at once. B.They sang along with her.
C.They made noises to stop her. D.They didn't care about her.
【3】What did the theater do after seeing Rhiannon's post?
A.They apologized to Rhiannon and her mother.
B.They gave a show to people with dementia.
C.They offered discounted tickets to Rhiannon and her mother.
D.They tried to raise people's awareness of dementia.
【4】How does Rhiannon feel to the theater?

If there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people, a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives-and the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century, newspapers will be transmitted electronically from the Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I'm pretty sure that is how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read-say, sport and international news.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresee that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
【1】What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Best Way to Get News B.The Changes of Media
C.Make Your All Newspaper, D.The Future of Newspaper
【2】In the writer's opinion, in the future .
A.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
B.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
C.newspapers will cover more scientific research
D.more and more people will read newspapers
【3】From the passage, we can infer .
A.newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B.newspapers will stay with us together with the other media
C.television will take the place of newspapers
D.the writer believes the media will die out
【4】The underlined words "feed off" in the last paragraph means .
A.depend on B.live on C.fight with D.kill off

The Importance of Humor
A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack-while a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving a final warning about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal(解雇)speech.
Yes, the boss was there when Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room(更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam's boss came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a smile and stretched out his hand. "How do you do?" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"
The room exploded in laughter. The boss tried to hold back a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job-with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet frequently ignored, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television arc doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum(论坛).
【1】Why was Sam late for his job?
A.Because he was ill. B.Because he got up late.
C.lie was busy applying for a new job. D.Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
【2】The main idea of this passage is.
A.early bird gets the worm B.humor is important in our lives
C.Sam Maynard saved his job with humor D.humor can solve racial discriminations
【3】The Phrase "patching up" in Paragraph 4 means.
A.making up B.picking up C.coming up D.looking up
【4】Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?
A.Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
B.Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.
C.It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.
D.Many lose life's battles for they arc lacking in a sense of humor.

There are two types of party attendees (参加者): Those who count the minutes until they can go home, and those who stay until the early hours of morning.
Regardless of which category you fall into, though, you must have secretly wondered about the best time to head out the door. 【1】Not only do you want to avoid being impolite, but you also don’t want to overstay your welcome. Thankfully, Thomas Blaikie can help you out with this delicate matter.
According to Blaikie, there is a golden time to leave the gathering without appearing rude. 【2】If it’s a sit-down dinner party, but you have to leave for something urgent, you should remain until all courses have been served. It’s considered rude to leave before dessert. 【3】Aim to say your goodbyes at 11:15 p.m. Don’t be the last person to leave.
【4】Chatting with a drink in your hand can easily make you lose track of the time. And don’t worry about hurting your host if you must turn down an offer. After all, your host is tired out.
This advice depends on how well you know your host, of course. 【5】He also might appreciate it if you stayed behind to help clean up. In that case, you’ll need to know the best cleaning tips for a dinner party.
A.As for the weekends?
B.On a weeknight, it is best to leave at 10:30 p.m.

D.Thank the host for the party when you are ready to leave.

Last Thursday we went Dongshan Mountain for our spring outing. We reached the foot of a mountain at 9 a.m. Following the longer path, we began to climb. After some times, we were all tired. We had a very short rest and move on. At last, we succeeded in getting to the top, on that we kept laughing and jumping. It was seemed that we were the happiest people in the world.
