  Personally,I like Chinese New Year's moviesvery much.Because they are filled with joyousthemes.and this kind ofmovie is a good choice for people who finally finish a year'shard work and wish to add some refreshment to their new year.

  And it proved to be true that Chinese New Year's movies are in need,for they were well received by common people inthe late 1990s.However,after less than 10.years of flourishing,they are now facing a great decline in box office income.

  I think the failure of Chinese New Year's movies is for two main reasons:lack of creation and low quality of produetion.

  Audiences are not fools.They watch movies in order to get satisfaction,bappiness and enlightenment(启发)not to be tricked by meaningless,same stories.If a movie tell aboring story,how can filmakers expect applause(鼓掌)fromthe audience.

  And at the same time we hope that directors choose actors and actresses carefully.The success of a movie is mostlydetermined by a fine story and good performances.If performers aren't able to communicate a character's emotions exactlv,no matter how wonderful a story is,the movie may be afailure.So a popular New Year's movie ought to be creativeand elaborately(精心地)produced.

  My favoufite Chinese New Year's movie is“Be There orBe Square”(Bu Jian Bu San),directed by Feng Xiaogang.It's a story about love and life.The hero is a Chinese man who struggles hard in the US.One day,he meets a girl from Beijing.The two share the same goal:making their fortunes in America.After a series of ups and downs,they fail to realizetheir dreams.But,they finally fall in love with each other and decide to go back to China to make a brand new start.

  Feng is good at providing humorous and simple lines with deep and strongly felt meaning.As far as the andience is concerned,it was acceptable and interesting.And the leading ac-tor and actress showed superior performances.They coopera-ted so well and acted so naturally that it seemed they were truly a pair of lovers.

  From the simple but moving story,I got a lot.Besides money and fame,there are many other beautiful things worth pursuing(追求)and loving.

  Good stories and actors are what the audience desire.Whether Chinese New Year's movies will last in the New Year's film market depends mostly on the filmmakers'attitude towards movie production.I hope that in the coming new year.I can spend several hours in a cinema enjoying a good movie instead of just chatting with my friends to escape a boring movie.

  There are about fifteen hundred languages in the world. Bu only 1 of them are very important. English is one of these. Many, many people 2 it, not only in England and the USA, 3 other parts of the world, about 200,000,000 speak it 4 their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a 5 language. Many millions are trying to do so.

  Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different 6 . Have you ever noticed ads (广告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? “Learn English in six weeks or your 7 back…“Easy and funny! Our records and tapes help you master your English in a month. 8 the first day your 9 will be excellent. Just send… ” Of course, it never 10 quite like this.

  The only language 11 seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should 12 that we all learned our own language well when we were 13 . If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. 14 what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He 15 what he hears. When he is using the language, talking in it, 16 in it all the time,just imagine how much 17 that gets!

  The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some familiesBut it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels

  An imortant new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past"We were sir[rosed bu just how positive today's young people seem to be about their families, "said one member of the research team"They're exected to be rebellious(叛逆的)and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them wellThere's more negotiation(商议)and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making processThey don't want to rock the boat"

  So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.“My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall, I always tell them when I'm going out clubbingAs long as they know what I'm doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees.“Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiationFor example, as long as I'd done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday nightBut I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

  Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpectedIt is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real factsA researcher comments, Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beingsBut that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelledThe normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

New research shows that overweight or even mildly obese people have a lower risk of early death than people considered to be normal weight.

Researchers examined the results of 97 studies. Most of the studies were less than 10 years old. They included almost three million adults from around the world, including the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan, Brazil, India and Mexico.

The researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics found that people who are considered overweight or slightly obese were five to six percent less likely to die from all causes than people of normal weight. People with higher obesity ratings, however, had almost a 30 percent greater risk of death compared to normal-weight individuals.

Katherine Flegal was the lead author of the study. She says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a higher risk of death.

“Because we’d actually already read a lot of this literature and realized it was likely that mortality rates (死亡率) for overweight would be at least not higher than normal weight. I guess I was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower. And I was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity also didn’t seem to differ from normal weight.”

But she says the difference in death rates appears to be small between normal-weight people and those who are overweight or mildly obese.

The study has raised new questions about “body mass index,”(体重指数) or BMI. This is a measurement of body fat as a ratio(比率) of height to weight. In recent years, many public health experts have promoted body mass index as a way to predict the risk of health problems. Bu t a person's BMI can be misleading in some cases.

Steven Heymsfield ,the executive director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, says people can be physically fit and in good health, but might weigh more because they are more muscular.

Still, Dr. Heymsfield says people should not think gaining extra weight is OK just because of the new findings. He says being at a healthy weight lowers the risk for heart disease and diabetes(糖尿病).

1.According to the new findings, the researchers found that __________ .

A.People with high obesity have a lower risk of early death than people with low obesity

B.People with overweight have a greater risk of early death than people of normal weight.

C.People with mild obesity are less likely to die than people of normal weight.

D.People with obesity live much longer than people of normal weight.

2.What does the underlined word “literature” in paragraph 6 mean ?

A.works like novels and poems

B.books and articles on a particular subject

C.printed material

D.magazines and newspapers

3.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A. BMI is commonly used to measure body fat as a ratio of height to weight.

B. Not all people with a little higher BMI are fat .

C. Many public health experts encourage more people to use BMI as a way to predict the risk of health problem

D. Because of the ne w findings, people should think about gaining extra weight.
