With its budget of $80 million , John Woo as director, and an all-star cast（明星云集的演員陣容）, Red Cliff is the most expensive and ambitious Asian-financed film ever. Last week I saw the release of the second part, and boy oh boy does it shows.
But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something. Not knowing my Cao Cao’s from my Zhou Yu’s, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win. Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support. After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart. But after Cao Cao resorted to some evil strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn’t so sure he was the man I should be rooting for.
And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes. The film does not take itself too seriously. Conversations between leaders are littered with one-liners, many of which had the audience in laughter. There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too. This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy（偵探）and an innocent northern soldier. The characters’ interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle.
Clocking in at（結(jié)束于）around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story. When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained（精疲力竭） as Cao Cao’s soldiers must have 1,800 years ago.

| A．the film characters are like boys who are childish. |
| B．the film provides amazing and surprising scenes for audience. |
| C．the film is suitable for younger boys to watch. |

| C．When he realized that Cao Cao took some bad measures to beat his enemies. |
| D．When he saw the romantic love story of Cao Cao and a southern spy. |
| A．high budget | B．leading roles | C．a(chǎn)ctors and actress | D．conversations |

| B．Cuju is the name of an ancient Chinese variation of football. |

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things-the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接觸) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, specially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
People who are unhappy__________.
A. always consider things the same as others
B. are usually affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
The underlined phrase"sour the pleasure of society"most probably means "__________".
A. have a good taste with social life
B. make others unhappy
C. tend so scold others openly
D. enjoy the pleasure of life
We can conclude from the passage that __________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should__________.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
In this passage, the writer mainly __________.
A. describes happy people
B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help the unhappy
D. tells people how to be happy in life
