15．It happened to me recently．I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President．A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，"a brilliantly （精彩地）written book"．However，he then went on to talk about Mr．Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all．I sensed that I was talking to a book liar．
And it seems that my friend is not the only one．Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't．In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets"，Dreams From My Father is at number 9．The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often （I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten．But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984．I think it's really brilliant．
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it．It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky （I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either） and Herman Melville．
Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to"impress"someone they were speaking to．This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K．Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella （ah，the big sellers，in other words）．Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story （I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58percent said they had never done so）．

64．How did the author find his friend a book liar？D．
A．By judging his manner of speaking．
B．By looking into his background．
C．By mentioning a famous name．
D．By discussing the book itself．
65．Which of the following is a"guilty secret"according to the World Book Day report？B．
A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list．
B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984．
C．The author admitted having read 9books．
D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read．
66．By lying about reading，a person hopes toD．
A．control the conversationB．appear knowledgeable
C．learn about the bookD．make more friends
67．What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers？C．

13．This is the first animated movie I've seen for 2016．And I must say that Zootopia has really set the bar high in terms of overall quality．As of this writing it still has a 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes．
There is a lot of animated movies this year that circles around animals like Kung Fu Panda，Finding Dory，ICE AGE 5，Norm of the North and Angry Birds but I think no animated film is grabbing adult themes，like racism and cultural prejudice，by the horns like Zootopia．
Zootopia sets up a world where animals evolved（进化）to a civilization where predators（捕食者） and prey have learned to co-exist and create a thriving society．
The movie is a buddy cop film where the two main characters，Officer Judy Hopps （the first rabbit to become a cop） and Nick Wilde （a sly street hustler） have to solve the mystery of 14missing animals．Through their mystery adventure they meet a lot of different characters and learn things about each other and about themselves．
Just some interesting points of observation：
•I personally found how they created the world of Zootopia amazing．I think that our local city planners could learn a thing or two about creating an inclusive city by watching this film．
•The movie is highly accurate to reflect the current times like how a politician is using fear to pit most of the mammals against Zootopia's minority population of predators（捕食者）．
Overall Zootopia was light，funny，has a nice message about working to achieve your dreams and has a catchy pop song to go with it．But the magic is how they tied in cultural diversity and our need to recognize our own prejudices and correct it．In this day and age there should already be less hate and hopefully both children and adults learn this lesson．

29．Which of the following is NOT true about the animated film Zootopia？B
A．It has an attractive pop song to go with it．
B．There are only two characters in the film，Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde．
C．The film Zootopia has won favorable comments from the audience．
D．The character，Officer Judy Hopps，in the film is the first rabbit to become a cop．
30．What lesson does the author want both children and adults can learn from the film Zootopia？C
A．Be braver．
B．Be anything．
C．Be less hate．
D．Be more funny．
31．Where is the text most likely to appear？C
A．In a health magazine．
B．In a finance report．
C．In a film review．
D．In an English textbook．

2．In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh．The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War．
At the same time，the"Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival．Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years．
Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh．
Today the"Fringe"，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21days it lasts．And years early as 1959，with only 19theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big．
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself．In 2004there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600different groups from 50different countries．More than 1，25 million tickets were sold．
