  One of the Summer’s Best Blockbusters, 10 July, 2009

  Author:Vince27 from Canada

  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth movie in the Harry Potter series, and it is the greatest one yet.The movie mixes comedy, romance, drama, and adventures into one, and makes it so marvelous and fun to watch.The acting in this film is more mature and better in quality than in the earlier ones.The trio, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliffe are amazing in their roles and pull them off well.David Yates gives his best directing in his career to date, and does an amazing job of telling the storyline of J.K.Rowling’s fantastic book.The visual effects are so well done and look so real.Although the movie has cut out many things in the book, it is still a great film that most people will enjoy!

  Key Points Missing! 12 July, 2009

  Author:zvette929 from the United States

  If you love the series like I do you will know that in every movie they have to cut parts of the book out.For those that have not read the book this movie will impress.I understand the need to cut the movie in order to fit it into a realistic time frame.In doing so, it seems as if they cut key parts in order to allow for more comedy.They also cut out a large action scene at the end of the movie.Another problem is, although there is not as much violence as previous movies the overall film includes adult content that in my opinion warrants the PG-13 rating.Do not misunderstand me.I recommend seeing the movie as it is enjoyable.

  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a big challenging novel to adapt to the big screen.Initially I had low expectations for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but after seeing the movie, I think it the best in the series and the adaptation is a great success.When you’re adapting a 600-page book into a two-and-a-half-hour film, it’s inevitable that certain things will get cut.

  The Best Book…The Worst Movie! 19 July, 2009

  Author:infernodx from the United Kingdom

  This film is so awful compared to the book that I can’t believe people love it.The book is a million times better and I’m hugely disappointed.They have added poor scenes and taken away integral parts of the book.Huge parts of the story have been missed.Pointless scenes have been added to make it appeal to a wider audience.I feel it totally unnecessary as Harry Potter appeals to probably the widest audience of any book.If I were J.K.Rowling I would have asked the producers some serious questions.

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, winter skating or skiing in winter. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering(爬山).

Those who have a passion(热情)for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore(忽视),but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no“matches”between“teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

Mountaineering involves       .

A.cold B.hardship C.physical risk    D.all of the above

The difference between a sport and a game has something to do with the kind of        .

A. activity B. rules    C. uniform  D. participants

Mountaineering can be called a team sport because       .

A.it is an Olympic event

B.teams compete against each other

C.mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

D.there are 5 climbers on each team.

Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football k

B.Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports

    When a close friend dies, it often forces you to consider your own death. The more you have in common with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. Sometimes you will naturally say to yourself, "It could just as easily have been me." Such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile life is, and it may cause you to reassess(重新评价) the direction of your own life.
Jack's story is a good example. A successful businessman making a lot of money, Jack didn't spend as much time with his family as he wanted. His job required him to work long hours. But three years ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. He died while celebrating his daughter's eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. He was only fifty years old.
Not long after his friend's death, Jack started to have a chest pain. Finally he had a good physical check-up. He received a clean bill of health. But the chest pain continued. He kept thinking of the death of his friend. Jack thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friend's family to manage after he passed away.
Jack realized that he didn't want to end up his life that way. He talked his feelings over with his wife and children, and decided to change his way of life. The family moved to a small town where he started a simple life. Now he is running a small art gallery(画廊). He is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in his life, and he has got no more chest pain.
