题目内容

    Do you remember the first movie you ever saw? Most people do.We know from experience how influential movies can be on young minds.Each film is a Pandora’s Box,offering a new glimpse of the world—sometimes offering too much—and we’re suddenly fighting to preserve the beautiful innocence which makes our children…well,children.

    “Cinema Paradiso”(1988)is the story of an unlikely friendship set in the heart of the sleepy Italian village,Giancaldo.The“heart”means the one thing Giancaldo possesses which makes its people come together-old and young,men and women-to the local cinema.Alfredo(played by Philippe Noiret)is the town projectionist.Having devoted his life to the upkeeping of the theater,he has never taken the time to make a family.To add to his responsibilities,he dutifully reports to the town priest(牧师,神父)whenever a new print comes.

    Of the town’s greatest movie fans,none is more devoted than the young Toto(played by Salvatore Cascio).He spends his milk money orr tickets.He makes it his duty to persuade Alfredo into teaching him the secret8 behind the magic of film—for nothing interests him more than the movies.At first cold and removed,Alfredo does whatever he Can to rid himself of this kid.But upon learning unfortunate details of the boy’s home life,he begins to let the young man in on the secrets of his trade.

    Filmmaker Giuseppe Tornatore does a masterful job of laying out a friendship that lasts for a lifetime.When Toto becomes a young man,he falls for the beautiful and unapproachable Elena.Alfredo,sensing the young man’s heartache,coaches him as Toto’s innocence slowly disappears.And it is Alfredo who recognizes Toto’s deep intelligence and decides,before anyone else,that Toto has outgrown Giancaldo.

    It’s anyone’s guess whether Tornatore wrote“Cinema Paradiso”from the memory of his own childhood, but the ends of this movie certainly make that suggestion.“Cinema Paradiso”is a must see for anyone who has loved the bright flicker in the eye of a child—the light which tells us they are possessed of the innocence of angels.

1.What made Alfredo change his attitude towards Toto?

    A.Toto is crazy about movie.       B.Toto spends his milk money on tickets.

    C.Toto has unfortunate home life.          D.Toto is intelligent and innocent.

2.In the film“Cinema Paradiso.”(1988),Alfredo        

    A.is a man whose job is to show films     B.has a big family to support

    C.often goes to the priest to pray             D.is warm and kind to Toto at the beginning

3.The reason why Tornatore wrote the film“Cinema Paradiso”may be that   

    A.he wanted to show how friendship is very important

    B.he experienced the same feeling as Toto in his boyhood

    C.he found it a good story and wanted to tell it to people

    D.he still remember the first film he ever saw

4.The only place that attracts everybody in Giancaldo is        

    A.the middle of the village              B.the town

    C.Pandora’s Box                             D.the cinema

5.What may make us moved after seeing the film“Cinema Paradiso”?

    A.The film may remind us of our innocent childhood which we miss a lot.

    B.We can learn much from the film.such as friendship and good heart.

    C.Alfredo is such a warm—hearted man that we may be moved by him.

    D.We also once loved movies so much,just as Toto does in the film.

  Going to sleep may seem pretty boring compared with all the fun things there are to do while you're awake.But there's a lot going on in your mind and body while you're tucked under those covers.

  Sleep, in fact, is as important to your survival as eating and drinking.Sleep improves your mood, makes you a better athlete, and helps you remember and understand what you learned during the day.During sleep your temperature drops.Your heart rate slows.Down goes the pressure of the blood moving through your veins.A chemical that controls growth(called a hormone)surges into your bloodstream.Scientists think sleep restores energy and improves your immune(免疫)system.We know what happens while we're asleep because scientists study volunteers who sleep in laboratories.The sleepers are hooked up to machines that measure brain waves, eye movements and muscle activities.

  Sleep is like a school day:it's divided into different periods, or stages.When you're awake, your brain waves fire rapidly.As you begin to relax and drift into the first stage of sleep, your brain produces slower-moving waves and you lose awareness of your surroundings.As you slide to deeper sleep, your body repairs itself from the normal wear and tear of daily life.Then, as you begin to drift back up to a lighter sleep, your mind becomes more alert(机警), and your dreams begin.You're in REM sleep.

  REM was names far the“rapid eye movement' that happens while you're dreaming.During REM sleep, your eyes move back and forth behind your timed lids, as though you were washing a movie.During other stages, you might move at that in bed, but during REM sleep you're still.That's probably because if you could move, your body would act out your dreams.As you get closer to morning, you spend more time in REM than in deep sleep, so you dream more.Researchers know that during REM sleep the part of the brain that handles learning and thinking is very active.

  Getting too little sleep can affect your personality.Experts recommend that children get at least nine hours d sleep a night.So sleep fight.
