When it comes to romance, no one does it better than the French. This is believed to be true of their movies, too. Unlike the Hollywood blockbusters (大片) you may be used to, French films are "usually a more artistic statement about being in the world" , noted The Guardian. From Oct 8 to Oct 29, in cooperation with the French embassy in China, the China Film Archive and China National Film Museum are presenting classic and critically acclaimed (备受赞誉的) French movies, including Le Havre (2011), Mia et le Migou (2008), and Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902). Sha Dan, curator (策划人) of the China Film Archive, explained to the media what to expect from the film series, and revealed how first- -time viewers can best appreciate French movies. Q: Why should I watch French movies? A: French films have a lot of virtues. For one thing, they use dialogue and plot, instead of visual effects, to drive the story. For another, they stress diversity (多元). While Hollywood movies are often about universal values, French movies have French culture or regional cultures deeply rooted in them. You have to understand them in their cultural context. That' s what sometimes makes French movies difficult to understand. Q: How can a Chinese audience appreciate French movies? A: You need to get used to their way of filming. When shooting two people talking to each other, the traditional way is to film each person face-forward as they take turns speaking. However, French movies are filmed in more experimental ways, like switching from a close shot to a long shot. Also, you should search for background information. The movie' s title and its director can reflect its ideas and storyline. For example, Les Enfants du Paradis (1945), also known as Children of Paradise, tells the story of beautiful Garance and the four men who love her in their own ways. Garance meets these men in a theater, and the "Paradis" in the movie title is an informal French name for a theater' s gallery. 【1】What is the author' s purpose in writing this text? A.To recommend some classic French movies. B.To help readers to better appreciate French movies. C.To compare French movies with Hollywood blockbusters. D.To describe the development and features of French movies in great detail. 【2】Which of the following is a characteristic of French movies? A.They are often about universal values. B.They usually have really good visual effects. C.They attach a lot of importance to French culture and French regional cultures. D.They are sometimes hard to understand because of their complex plots. 【3】Which of the following is TRUE about French movies according to the text? A.They are mostly romances and are usually artistic. B.They often involve more close shots than long shots. C.They prefer to use the traditional way of shooting two people talking to each other. D.Their titles and directors can help viewers learn background information.

Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use. Here's how it works: A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own. Here's how to apply it: Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right? 【1】Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP? A.Pick a new cue. B.Form a new habit. C.Choose a new reward. D.Design a new resolution. 【2】According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectively by______. A.changing the routine B.trying it for a week C.adjusting your goal D.writing it down 【3】What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use? A.To test out different kinds of cues. B.To do something as a habit even without rewards. C.To work out the best New Year's resolution. D.To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards. 【4】“This year when I see the Harry Potter poster, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution? A.The Harry Potter poster. B.Reading 30 pages of an English novel. C.An English newspaper. D.Watching TV for half an hour.

When I was young, it wasn't the parental love that filled my thoughts in the spring. It was baseball. I loved everything about the game — the crack of a bat, the excitement of chasing a ground ball across short green grass, even watching the games on our old black-and-white TV. Yet looking back now, nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual (老规矩) of playing catch with my dad. Dad was never much of a baseball fan, but as green leaves began to shoot on bare branches and warmth returned to the air, he would grab his old mitt (棒球手套) and head out to the yard with me just the same. There was something beneficial about playing catch with him, the hum of the ball as it sailed through the air, and the friendly pop as it hit the leather netting. We may have been 26 feet apart, but the flight of that ball connected us, forming as strong a relationship as any father-son talk ever could have. I was never the star of my Little League team, yet Dad never cared about that. Every year, he would be out there, waiting to field any false throw I sent his way. As I grew older, I realized that our game was a reflection of our relationship—that even if a problem didn't involve a glove and a ball, Dad would always be there to handle anything I threw in his direction. His devotion to our springtime ritual showed his devotion to me — not only to my love of baseball but also to my life. I've often heard it said that "the devil is in the details." Now I realize that in my relationship with my father, love was in the details. 【1】When the author was young, he didn't care much about ________. A.the sound of hitting a ball B.the company of his father C.the joy of running after a ball D.the games broadcast on TV 【2】The author's father practiced catching baseball with him on warm spring days, ________. A.having a father-son conversation with him B.killing time while doing some physical exercise C.making him an excellent baseball player D.giving him a guiding hand in his life 【3】We can learn from the passage that ________. A.a yearly celebration was held to start their spring baseball catching ritual B.the author and his father used to have a loose relationship with each other C.the author fully realized his father's love for him when he was young D.the author's father always stood by him whenever he was in trouble 【4】What is the passage mainly about？ A.The same hobby shared between the author and his father. B.The way the author and his father used to spend spring days. C.The author's sweet memory of his father's love for him. D.The analysis made by the author about father-son relationship.

What are dreams for? Sigmund Freud famously claimed that they reveal hidden truths and wishes. More recent research suggests that they may help us process intense emotions, or perhaps classify(分类) and consolidate(巩固) memories, or make sense of random neuron(神经) activity, or rehearse(排练) responses to threatening situations. Other believe that dreams have no evolutionary(进行的) function, but simply dramatize personal concerns. Despite being largely unsupported by evidence, Freud’s view maintains a strong following around the world. Researchers found that students in the U.S., South Korea, and India were much more likely to say that dreams reveal hidden truths than to endorse better-substantiated(证实的) theories. In the same study, respondents said that dreaming about a plane crash would cause them more anxiety than an official warning about a terrorist attack. Even if dreams can't foretell(预知) the future, they seem to expose our shared fascinations. The majority of dreams occur during REM sleep cycles(快速动眼期), of which the average person has four or five a night. A study of Canadian university students found the most common dream topics to be school, falling, being chased, and arriving too late for something. For all the commonalities dreams exhibit, they vary across time—people who grew up watching black-and-white TV are more likely to dream in black and white—and culture. A 1958 study determined that compared with Japanese people, Americans dreamed more about being looked up, losing a loved one, finding money, being inappropriately dressed, or encountering an insane person. Japanese people were more likely to dream about school, trying repeatedly to do something, being paralyzed with fear, or "wild, violent beasts." But even negative human dreams can have positive effects. In a study of students taking a French medical-school entrance exam, 60 percent of the dreams they had beforehand involved a problem with the exam, such as being late or leaving an answer blank. But those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn't. So the next time you dream about an education-related experience in which you are both falling and being chased, don’t worry: It’s probably totally meaningless. Then again, your brain might be practicing so you’ll be ready if such an event ever comes to pass. 【1】According to different theories mentioned in the passage, dreams may help people in various aspects EXCEPT ________. A.healing the body B.memory classification C.preparation for a dangerous situation D.understanding random neuron activity 【2】The underlined word “endorse” in the passage probably means “________.” A.check B.advertise C.support D.measure 【3】Which of the following statement is true according to the passage? A.People all dream in black and white without any other color. B.Humans have the longest REM skep among all animals that dream. C.Our dreams often reflect our emotions or anxieties in many forms. D.People feel more stressed when encountering emergencies in reality than in dream. 【4】According the passage, bad dreams are good because ________. A.what you experience in dreams usually turns out to be the opposite B.bad dreams can help us prepare beforehand to perform better in reality C.it is a kind of comfort and relief to think dreams are usually meaningless D.dreaming about bad things enhances(提高) our bravery and helps to drive away our fears

In 1624 an English poet John Donne famously wrote, “No man is an island.” In recent years, neuroscientists have caught up with the wisdom of Donne. They recognize that our brain needs more than simply the food we eat, the oxygen we breathe, and the water we drink. 【1】. Normal brain functioning depends on the social web around us. Our neurons require other people's neurons to survive and thrive. 【2】 but that approach overlooks the fact that an enormous amount of brain circuitry (回路) has to do with other brains. 【3】 From our families, friends, co-workers and business partners, our societies are built on layers of complex social interactions. All this social glue is generated(产生) by specific circuitry in the brain: sprawling (蔓延的) networks that monitor other people, communicate with them, feel their pain, judge their intentions and read their emotions. Social interaction doesn't just boost our mood, it feeds our brains. 【4】 In a California study published by the American Journal of Public Health, researchers reported that older women who managed large social networks reduced their risk of dementia (痴呆) by 26%. And women who had daily contact with their network cut their risk of dementia by almost half. Socialization is typically associated with healthy behaviors, like joining a walking group or a bowling league, or partaking (参与) in mentally stimulating activities, such as participating in a book club or playing bingo. 【5】 So if you're looking for a reason to linger at your weekly coffee date with the girls, or you’re your grandkids to the park, here it is. Socializing isn't just about having fun—it's about keeping your brain healthy. A.We are deeply social creatures. B.Remember to spend some time with your loved ones. C.We need it to keep that specific circuitry in the brain healthy and functioning. D.There’s something else, something equally as important: it needs other people. E.Engaging with other people can also help a brain react to different situations and topics. F.When socializing involves activities such as these, the health benefits are increased greatly. G.Brains have traditionally been studied in isolation (孤立地).
