Motion pictures are so much a part of our lives that it¡¯s hard to imagine a world without them. We enjoy them in theatres, at home, in offices, in cars and buses, and on airplanes.

¢Ù For about 100 years, people have been trying to understand why this medium has so attracted us. Films communicate information and ideas, and they show us places and ways of life we might not otherwise know. Important as the benefits are, though, something more is at stake. Films offer us ways of seeing and feeling that we find deeply satisfying. They take us through experiences. The experiences are often driven by stories, with characters we come to care about, but a film might also develop an idea or explore visual qualities or sound textures. A film takes us on a journey, offering a patterned experience that engages our minds and emotions.

¢Ú Films are designed to have effects on viewers. Late in the 19th century, moving pictures emerged as a public amusement. They succeeded because they spoke to the imaginative needs of a broad-based audience. All the traditions that emerged£­ telling fictional stories, recording actual events, animating objects or pictures, experimenting with pure form£­aimed to give viewers experiences they couldn¡¯t get from other media. The men and women who made films discovered that they could control aspects of cinema to give their audience richer, more engaging experiences. Learning from one another, expanding and refining the options available, filmmakers developed skills that became the basis of film as an art form.

¢Û The popular origins of cinema suggest that some common ways of talking won¡¯t help us much in understanding film. Take the distinction between art and entertainment. Some people would say that blockbusters(´óƬ) playing at the multiplex are merely ¡°entertainment¡±, whereas films for a narrower public£­perhaps independent films for festival fare, or specialized experimental works£­are true art. Usually the art / entertainment split carries a not-so-hidden value judgment: art is high-brow, whereas entertainment is superficial. Yet things aren¡¯t that simple. As we just indicated, many of the artistic resources of cinema were discovered by filmmakers working for the general public. During the 1910s and 1920s, for instance, many films that aimed only to be entertaining opened up new possibilities for film editing. As for the matter of value, it¡¯s clear that popular traditions can promote art of high quality. Cinema is an art because it offers filmmakers ways to design experiences for viewers, and those experiences can be valuable.

¢Ü Sometimes, too, people treat film art as opposed to film as a business. This split is related to the issue of entertainment, since entertainment generally is sold to a mass audience. Again, however, in most modern societies, no art floats free of economic ties. Novels good, bad, or indifferent are published because publishers expect to sell them. Painters hope that collectors and museums will acquire their work. True, some artworks are funded through taxes or private donations, but that process, too, involves the artist in a financial transaction(½»Ò×). Films are no different. Others are funded by patronage or public moneys. Even if you decide to make your own digital movie, you face the problem of paying for it£­and you may hope to earn a little extra for all your time and effort.

The crucial point is that considerations of money don¡¯t necessarily make the artist any less creative or the project any less worthwhile. Money can corrupt any line of business (consider politics), but it doesn¡¯t have to. In Renaissance Italy, painters were commissioned by the Catholic church to illustrate events from the Bible. Michaelangelo and Lenonardo da Vinci worked for hire, but it would be hard to argue that it hurt their artistry.

Here we won¡¯t assume that film art prevents entertainment. We won¡¯t take the opposite position either£­claiming that only Hollywood mass-market movies are worth attention. Similarly, we don¡¯t think that film art rises above commercial demand, but we also won¡¯t assume that money rules everything. Any art form offers a vast range of creative possibilities. Our basic assumption is that as an art, film offers experiences that viewers find worthwhile.

Christmas can easily become an expensive time of a year. From gifts to decorating, the money spent on the celebration adds up quickly. But there's no reason to completely break the bank. 1.

Make a budget (Ô¤Ëã). Set the amount you're willing to spend for the holiday, including gift giving, decorating and travel. 2. And if you can keep to your budget, you'll lead an easy life in the following weeks and months.

Start shopping for Christmas decorations early. Stores have sales for decorations between Halloween and Thanksgiving. 3. Better yet, go shopping for next year's decorations the day after Christmas. You can buy many things at very low prices right after Christmas.

Shop for gifts all year round. Whenever you're out shopping, keep an eye out for great Christmas presents. 4. Shopping early can prevent you from spending more money than you can afford. And if you spend little here and there throughout the year, Christmas will have a much smaller influence on your wallet in December.

Scale down (Ëõ¼õ) your gift giving. Sometimes you just can't afford to get something for everyone. Remove the people from your list whom you rarely speak with. 5. The people you do choose to buy for don't need something expensive. Keep in mind that it's the thought that is more important.

A. Send them simple cards instead.

B. This budget is perfect for many people.

C. Once you have a budget set, keep to it.

D. And it's after Thanksgiving that the prices begin to go up.

E. Christmas is known as the season of giving, sharing and receiving.

F. There are ways to celebrate well and spend wisely at the same time.

G. It doesn't matter when you get the gift, whether it's January or June.

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bikes to work every day. In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They declare that if more people rode bikes to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.

For several years, this group had been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw special lanes(³µµÀ) for bikes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.

But no bike lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea¡ªthey say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea¡ªthey say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.

The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park¡ªthe largest place open ground in New York¡ªis closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bikes only.

¡°Languages are important,¡± ¡°I know they¡¯re hard but don¡¯t give up,¡± ¡°They¡¯ll help you in life¡±.

I was told these words of encouragement over and over again, I would always roll my eyes, ignore them and continue to stress over the past and future tense and any numbers over 20.

I have studied languages from a young age. I began learning Greek aged 10. when my family and I moved there for two years. At first it was difficult and I had no idea whether I would be able to learn the language and use it productively, but eventually it started to make sense.

Slowly, very slowly, I started to get an immense (¾Þ´óµÄ) sense of pride from using words and phrases I had learnt, overhearing (͵Ìý) conversations and (almost) understanding everything that was said.

Eight years later I started university back in England, where I met one of my best friends. Guess how we became best friends? She spoke Greek as a second language, I spoke Greek as a second language, that was our conversation starter. We went for coffee and from that moment we were inseparable. I was always told I would meet people through languages and it would open up doors for me, and that was one of the first moments where I believed it. Sometimes it comes down to something small like that, to make you realise what you¡¯re doing is 100 percent worth it.

I was encouraged by my family to continue on the language path since I started learning at the age of 10, so I took up German and it was really challenging. There were a lot of times I thought I was going to give up, but I am so glad I didn¡¯t; when I was 18, I didn¡¯t get into the university I wanted, or get to study the course I wanted, I had no idea what I was going to do. I changed my plan and applied to go to the University of Manchester instead, to study Spanish. I had never studied Spanish before; they saw that I had studied Greek and German and offered me a place! Now I am in Spain for a year having an amazing time and enjoying the sunshine, working as an English language assistant in a lovely little primary school.

It was a wonderful chain of events; if I had ignored everybody who encouraged me to study languages, gave up when it was hard and didn¡¯t practice, I would not be doing what I am doing right now, and ray life would be totally different. I¡¯m glad I listened.

My advice: it¡¯s true, languages arc important, immerse (ʹ³Á½þÓÚ) yourself in them, work hard and enjoy the benefits (because there are a lot!).
