    “Tomorrow is another day”---- this line has impressed various people at various times. It's now 70 years after it appeared in the film, but it still seems to hold its power especially during an economic downturn.
    The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's successful 1936 novel Gone With the Wind. It's set in the American South and tells the story of a strong heroine, Scarlett O' Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships.
    Love story 
    In a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many audiences, it is the theme of love and struggle that has kept the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta might seem irrelevant(不相關(guān)的) to today's viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people.
    With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie. But her heart is broken when Rhett just walks away, leaving the woman that he once loved with cruel words, "Frankly, dear, I don' t give a damn."(毫不在乎)
    Great epic (史詩)
    The film shows the love-hate relationship of these characters, but also American history, the fall of the Confederacy and the following period of Reconstruction in the South. The background made this film a true classic in the epic genre.
    When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression(侵略), people stood in line for hours to watch this film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins.
    Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind never lost its charm and ability to inspire and amaze.
    Biggest of all time
    The film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget. The film brought in $ 200 million, which makes it the biggest selling film of all times in North America. It also won 10 Academy awards in 1940.
    小題1:The underlined "it" in the first paragraph refers to _______.
    A.the novel Gone with the WindB."tomorrow is another day"
    C.the movie Gone with the WindD.the Academy Award
    小題2: The text is written mainly to _______.
    A.celebrate the anniversary of Margaret Mitchell
    B.introduce how the film was directed and filmed
    C.throw light on the charm of the movie "Gone with the Wind"
    D.inspire people to struggle the economic downturn
    小題3: It can be concluded that Scarlett O' Hara is _______.
    A.optimistic and luckyB.childish and realistic
    C.caring and stubborn (固執(zhí)的)D.strong-minded and persistent (堅(jiān)毅的)
    小題4: The passage mentions Shanghai in order to _______.
    A.prove that the background of the movie touched viewers
    B.describe how popular the movie was at that time

    Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job.The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker.If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits.
    Job sharing differs from conventional (常規(guī)的) part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.    Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people.Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.
    As would be expected, most job sharers are women.A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age.Subsequent studies have come up with similar results.Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status.Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.
    The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs.However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position.Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones.In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.
    小題1:.
    In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?
    A.Work sharing requires more working hours.
    B.Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.
    C.Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.
    D.Work sharing depends on the employer's decision.
    小題2:.
    According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work mainly because _____.
    A.they sought higher social status
    B.they were over ideal working ages
    C.they had difficulty finding full-time jobs
    D.they had to take care of both work and family
    小題3:.
    In job sharing the partners should _____.
    A.enjoy equal social status
    B.have similar work experience
    C.keep in touch with each other
    D.know each other very well
    小題4:.
    The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
    A.describe job sharing in general
    B.discuss how to provide more jobs
    C.recommend job sharing to women
    D.compare job sharing with work sharing

    Read the following reviews 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 email 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 a 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 pays 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 (Phil 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.

    Everyone knows that the French are romantic, the Italian are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Or do they? Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
    At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (實(shí)業(yè)家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public .
    Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to others—but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
    This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the world’s fourth largest economy .That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy , either .
    “It’s not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a Professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”
    Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.
    小題1:What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph refer to?
    A.One group of people B.A great survey
    C.National character D.A nation
    小題2:Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that         
    A.they are not popular simply because they are successful
    B.the British public are hardworking
    C.love of success is Britain’s national character
    D.they are considered as “green-eyed monsters”
    小題3:What does the result of the Warwich University test show?
    A.Two thirds of the people tested didn’t love money
    B.Most people would rather fail than see others succeed
    C.An imaginary amount of money does not attract people
    D.Most people are willing to enjoy success with others
    小題4:The writer of the passage seems to suggest that         .
    A.Jealousy is Britain’s national character
    B.British entrepreneurs are not fairly treated
    C.the scientists are Warwich University did a successful test
    D.the British dislike the entrepreneurs because they do not behave properly

    Nowroz:  Iranian New Year or Nowroz is celebrated on the first day of spring sometime in March. Nowroz ceremonies are symbolic representations of good and evil. People sing, dance and parade as in a carnival through the streets with drums and trumpets to spread the news of the coming new year.
    Rosh Hashanah:  The Jewish New Year is called “Rosh Hashanah”, and is celebrated in the month of September. It is a holy time when people think of the things they have done wrong in the past, and promise to do better in the future. Special prayers are held, and an instrument called a Shofar is played. Children are given new clothes, and New Year loaves are baked and fruits are consumed to remind people of harvest time.
    Shogatsu:  In Japan, the New Year (Shogatsu) celebrations are from January 1 to January 3 and most Japanese don’t work during these days. In Japan, years are traditionally seen as completely separate from each other, and the New Year is a fresh start. This means that in December all duties should be completed. Parties are held to forget the worries and troubles of the old year. Homes and cars are decorated. On New Year’s Eve, most people spend their time with their families.
    Bahai New Year:  The Bahai people have their own calendar consisting of nineteen months of nineteen days plus a couple of extra days between the eighteenth and nineteenth months. They have, however, adopted the Iranian custom of beginning the New Year in the spring equinox (春分).

    Each Indian(印第安人)was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one for himself.But his playmates(游戲伙伴)would always give him a name of their own.No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen.Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs or Bad Boy.But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off.If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs for the rest of his life.
    The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy.His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle.When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather and observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief.If he had done well, he would get a good name.Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf or Man-Afraid-Of-a-Horse.So an Indian’s name told his record or described the kind of man he was.
    A man was given many chances to improve his name, however.If in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name.Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names—all good and each better than the last.
    An Indian’s names belonged to him for the rest of his life.No one else could use them.Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family.So no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.
    Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed.I know of only three of four times when this happened.It is the rarest honor for a person—the honor of assuming(承擔(dān)) his father’s name.
    小題1:
    An Indian could be given the second name by__________.
    A.his fatherB.the enemy
    C.the chief of the tribeD.his childhood friends
    小題2:
    The greatest honor an Indian could earn was____________.
    A.a(chǎn) victory in his first battle against the enemy
