You may surf the internet to choose some films for the long holidays. Read the following introductions for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happiness (Romance) ★★★★
Happiness tells the story of two people (Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy) who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I scream (Thriller ) ★★    
In I scream, Paul (Colin Jacks) is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn’t make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul’s Heroes (Comedy) ★★★  
This is very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers (including Sammy Turblow) have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it’s great fun getting there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Drama ) ★★★★
This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, who plays a hard-working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr Lloyd (Phidl Driver) who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America. This is an excellent movie, which is very exciting.

One bitterly cold day, a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers.
When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, my best friend suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood, so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what had happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale.
“You should have been killed,” he said.
So why am I still alive? It was my boots that saved my life.
Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.
Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt, my mother was well serious with me. After all, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.
Through this experience, I learned that it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective(觀點). Taking the time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock of my life”.
小題1:The underlined word “disregard ” in the second paragraph means “________”.
A．pay no attention toB．take notice ofC．considerD．follow
小題2:In spite of Bruce’s warning, the author still cut the tree because ________.
A．he was sure there would be nothing to happen
B．he wasn’t sure whether Bruce was right and was anxious to go home
C．he didn’t hear his friend’s warning at all because of the blowing wind
D．he was angry with his friend and didn’t want to listen to him
小題3:The author wrote the passage mainly to _______.
A．give an account of one of his terrible experiences
B．make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective (觀點) through his experience
C．tell us not to cut trees down any more
D．remind us to be careful while working
小題4: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．But for his boots, the writer would have died.
B．The writer regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning.
C．The writer knew nothing about electricity.
D．When the tree was cut down, the writer realized his friend was right

根據(jù)短文內容，從下框的A---F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余選項。
A．Reasons for Having Large Families in Some Countries.
B．Calculation of Population Growth.
C．Efforts Made to Lower the Mortality Rate (死亡率)
D．High Fertility Rates in Developing Countries.
E. Low Fertility Rates in Developed Countries.
F. Birth Control Programs.
61. ________  
Population growth is determined by the relationship between births and deaths. The growth rate is calculated by the birth rate minus the death rate. If the birth rate is 4%, for example, and the death rate is 3%, the population growing at rate of 1% per year.
62. ________
Historically, families had many children, but average life expectancies are low and many children died young. Improvements in nutrition and public health programs in the past 30 years have led to a drop in the mortality rate and hence to more rapid population growth.
63. ________
Public health programs and improved nutrition over the past 30 years have brought about declines in mortality rates in the developing nations. But fertility rates(出生率)have not declined as quickly, and the result has been high rates of population growth. Reduced population growth depends to some extent on decreased birth rates.
64. ______
Family planning and modern forms of birth control are important mechanisms for decreasing fertility, but by themselves such programs have had rather limited success in most countries where they have been tried. If family planning strategies are to be successful, they must make sense to the people who are supposed to benefit from them.
65. _______
To a great extent, in developing countries people want large families because they believe they need them. In some societies, children are important sources of farm labor, and they may thus make significant contributions to household income. In societies without any social security programs for the aged, children may also provide a vital source of income for their old parents.

Misunderstanding means East-West cultural clash. A failure to understand different customs lead to misunderstanding.
A common example of this clash occurs in China when Westerners complain that the Chinese are noisy and impolite, and feel uneasy with the questions: "Where are you from?" "Where do you work?" "How much do you earn?" "Are you married?" One Westerner has described this question and answer process as a "Laowai (foreigner) Litany." It's not surprising that foreigners in China who are not familiar with Chinese culture would be shocked by the questions and might feel that Chinese were meddling in their affairs.
Why do Chinese and Westerners have opposite behaviour in public and in society? Cultural differences partly explain this. Chinese culture is founded on collectivism. Instead of considering themselves individuals, Chinese are, above all, members of a community. They identify more with employees of the company, citizens of the country, husbands or wives, or fathers. They are used to thinking of groups. With this community spirit, it's not uncommon to approach others with questions. So, "Where are you from?" could mean "I'm interested in you and ready to be your friend;" "How much money do you earn?" could mean "If you don't earn enough to feed yourself, I'm happy to invite you to share my rice porridge;" and "Are you married?" could mean "If you're still single, I'll help you find a girlfriend."
For Chinese, asking a stranger questions is a normal way to show sympathy and to invite someone to have a friendly conversation. Chinese on a 10-hour train ride would be considered impolite or even arrogant if they refused to ask or answer questions. That is why a Chinese train ride is always happy and animated for Chinese, but can be noisy for a European.
Western culture is based on individualism. A Westerner sees himself or herself both as an individual and member of a community. Thus any insistence on communicating through questions might be considered annoying. In Europe, a person on a 10-hour train ride, will be considered polite if he or she wants to keep silent for the whole journey. This is also why train rides in Europe are agreeably quiet for Europeans, but possible painful for Chinese.
There seems to be fundamentally nothing wrong with being interested in strangers, depending on the circumstances, but either asking questions or not asking questions could prove indelicate. Whoever you are, be relaxed and polite no matter whether you get intrusive questions or a perfunctory hello.
66. Which is wrong about the above four questions in paragraph 2 ?
The Chinese use them to show their sympathy.
The Westerners will be shocked at these questions
They are often asked to open a conversation by Chinese people.
They imply the spirit of individualism.
67. According to the passage, all the following shows the culture differences between we Chinese and the Westerns except_________________.
the Chinese consider themselves to be members of a community while the Westerns don’t
western culture is founded on individualism
your questions will annoy a Westerner if he/she doesn’t want to communicate
train journey in Western countries are often quiet but noisy in China
68. On a ten-hour train ride___________________________.
the Chinese will probably talk with strangers happily
the Westerners are certain to talk with strangers
it is impolite for both the Chinese and the Westerners to keep silent
it is often painful for the Westerners to be in silence
69. The underlined word “animated”(in paragraph 4) possibly means_______________.
A. causing shameful feelings       B. filled with noise
C. full of life and spirit            D. important and agreeable
70. The main idea of the passage is probably_____________________.
A.we shouldn’t ask the Westerners the four questions
B.culture differences may lead to misunderstanding
C.it’s wrong to be interested in strangers
D.asking a stranger questions is a normal way to show sympathy

Last month, the president of the Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, held an underwater meeting. The purpose of the ocean floor conference? To highlight the effects of global warming on his island nation.
The Maldives, located in the Indian Ocean, is the lowest-lying country on Earth. Melting glaciers and polar ice are causing sea levels to rise, putting the Maldives and other low-lying areas at risk of being swallowed by the sea within the next 100 years.
What can be done? Scientists and leaders from 190 nations will try to figure that out at the United Nations climate change conference next month. The main goal of the meeting is to come up with a new climate agreement for 2012 and beyond. That is when the existing plan, the Kyoto Protocol (《京都議定書》), will expire. The agreement was created in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997. Since then, it has been ratified (正式批準) by 190 nations. The countries promised to limit the amount of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, that they produced each year.
The debate over who should cut greenhouse emissions (排放) has been going on for years. The US has been hesitant to reduce emissions unless fast-growing nations such as China and India also reduce their use of fossil fuels. In recent months, China has taken steps to be greener. But India has been unwilling to change. It argues that it is unfair for rich nations to ask poorer countries to cut down on emissions.
While world leaders work on a plan in Copenhagen, there are many things you can do to help the planet. You can save fuel by walking or biking instead of riding in a car. You can start a recycling program in your community. You can plant trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and give off oxygen.
64. The underlined word “expire” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.
A. cause trouble            B. go into effect            C. come to an end         D. gain support
65. According to the passage, limiting greenhouse emissions _____.
A. has been a controversial question
B. is well performed in the Maldives
C. will make poor countries poorer
D. means banning carbon dioxide emissions
66. What does the author suggest？
A. Like the Maldives, other island countries should take action.
B. Both the US and India should cut greenhouse emissions.
C. World leaders should focus more on climate change.
D. Everyone should get involved in cutting greenhouse emissions.
