Gu Changwei was the first Chinese cinematographer to be nominated (提名) for an Oscar, he is regarded by Zhang Yimou as the best cinematographer in China. Gu was behind the camera for many of Zhang Yimou’s famous films including the one that rocketed Zhang to fame: “Red Sorghum (高粱)”. And now this master of the visual has taken on his first directing role with the film “Peacock”. So Gu Changwei has come out from behind the camera into the spotlight (聚光灯).

Gu Changwei is very serious about his directing “Peacock”. To get the authentic atmosphere, Gu took his film crew to the city of Anyang in central China’s Henan province where the story takes place, to shoot the film. He chose all new actors because he didn’t want “star” appeal to weaken the power of the story, and he also had his actors trained in the local dialect. For this film Gu has been able to get out from behind the camera to manage every aspect of the film, and to realize his own ideals in movie-making.

“Peacock” is about the life of an average family in a small town in Henan province in the late 70s and early 80s. Gu chose this story for his first movie because he grew up during this same period and it struck a chord with him.

“Peacock” wrapped up production in June, 2004. It’s aimed at the foreign film market and will be entered in February’s Berlin Film Festival, and released in China at the same time. But at the end of last October, Gu took “Peacock” to his Alma Mater, the Beijing Film Academy, one of the most famous film colleges in China, to hold a preview. The film was warmly received by both teachers and students.

The word’s largest aircraft made its public debut last week at Europe’s biggest factory, a purpose built assembly line in Toulouse, souther, n France.The Airbus A380 will have 50 per cent more floor space than American rival Boeing’s 747 Jumbo, with room for duty-free shops, restaurants and even a sauna.This new arrival is expected to change the face of air travel.

The A380 will enter service in early 2006 with Singapore Airlines.

Airbus claims the A380 will burn less fuel, make less noise, create less pollution and cost 17 per cent less per seat than the 747.It will also reduce traffic problems in the skies.

The aircraft, which cost between £140 million(US$250m) and £157 million (US$280m) each compared with £84 million (US$150m) for Boeing’s new Dreamliner jet, is being built at 16 factories in Germany, France, Spain and the UK.

But activists have warned of more noise and pollution from the Superjumbo, while Boeing believes huge aircraft will not be in great demand over the next decade.

As a result, it is putting faith in the much smaller 7E7 Dreamliner.But Airbus is pinning its hopes on the “big is beautiful” theory, gambling on size being the key factor in the US-European battle for the skies.

Airbus said it was in talks with half a dozen global airlines about buying the A380. China Eastern Airlines, already an Airbus customer, is said to be targeted, while executives made it plain that they wanted to fight for the Japanese market, which had traditionally been controlled by Boeing.

Over the next 20 years, Airbus hopes to sell 750 of the new planes into a market worth £185billion (US$330bn).The company already has129 firm orders for the A380, with 52 options.

According to Airbus, which of the following is not the advantage of A380 compared to Boeing 747?

       A.Making less noise, causing less traffic problems

       B.Using less fuel, costing less money

       C.Creating less pollution, having less weight

       D.Having more floor space, creating less pollution

From the passage, we can infer that _________

       A.Airbus is not aiming at the Japanese market.

       B.Boeing is not a rival of Airbus.

       C.A380 hasn’t been used yet.

       D.Boeing is better than Airbus.

In the Airbus A380, passengers cannot find ___________.

       A.duty-free shops       B.restaurants      C.banks     D.a sauna

According to the news, the prospect of A380 may be ___________.

       A.not so good          B.cheerful         C.undesirable          D.gloomy
