HE is one of the most charming young heroes since Harry Potter. Like Potter, he is chosen by fate to carry out a mission, but unlike the boy wizard, he doesn’t get any chances to have fun or hang out with friends because he’s a little too busy preparing to lead during an upcoming war to save the Earth.

Meet Ender Wiggin, 15, the main character of the hit US sci-fi movie Ender’s Game (《安德的游戏》), which will come out on Jan 7 in China.

The story opens in 2086, 50 years after an insect-like alien race, called the Formics, attacked the Earth and killed tens of millions of people before being driven back to their home planet. Since then, human beings have been in a state of fear, awaiting a second attack.

Earth’s military leaders seek young warriors to risk going into space for battle, and children are taught to compete for these positions. As the film explains, youths can make leaps of logic and intuition, devising effective attack strategies more quickly than adults.

So here comes Ender, the savior (救世主) of all mankind. Though Ender is a skinny kid, smaller than most, he is also smarter than average. He tends to analyze situations and easily find ways to achieve the most positive outcomes. This rare gift makes him stand out in the program and get promoted to the Battle School, where he is directed to plan and carry out a series of virtual attacks on the Formics.

Can he use his military talents to wipe out Earth’s enemies?

Despite the obvious “be all you can be” subtext (潜台词), the movie “explores complex issues, including the consequences of violence and maintaining humanity and morality during wartime with intelligence and insight,” commented Yahoo.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film best presents the power of empathy (感情移入), which is what makes Ender a good leader. “The reason Ender succeeds is because he understands what makes his opponents tick (有某种行为) on the battlefield,” explained the entertainment news site.

1.The underlined words “a mission” in the first paragraph probably refer to “______”.

A. having fun and hanging out with friends

B. being a boy wizard to save the Earth

C. working to save all of mankind

D. acting as a leader of the Formics

2.Earth’s military leaders want to choose youths to be warriors because they think ______.

A. youths are smarter and more fearless than adults

B. youths are more willing to take risks in space

C. youths have sharper intuition and quicker reactions than adults

D. youths adapt to new battle environments more quickly than adults

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. The movie intends to encourage people to try to be what they want to be and never give up.

B. Ender is able to defeat Earth’s enemies because he possesses a super power that enables him to read his enemies’ minds.

C. Ender’s success proves that a good leader should have intelligence and insight and make full use of his or her teammates’ talents.

D. The movie discusses a variety of issues such as the effects of violence and the importance of morality and humanity during wartime.

Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been only a few decades ago. , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.

Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.

Signs of Nanjing’s wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, the father of modern China, looks over a busy area.

There is perhaps no more symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.

Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music in all sorts of places.

On a larger , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

Does reading great literature expand our imagination and better our moral and social

sensibilities? For most people, it's just wishful thinking because there's no evidence that people

are morally or socially better for reading Tolstoy or other great books.

But just hold on a second there. Actually, there is such evidence, says US writer Annie

Murphy Paul. She argues in Time magazine that "deep reading", as opposed to browsing web

pages, makes us nicer and smarter.

Her evidence includes several studies carried out by some psychologists.

One is based in Canada. Two psychologists found that individuals who often read fiction

appear to be better able to understand other people, sympathize with them and view the world

from their perspective.

But this improvement is only possible if we do deep reading, which isn't just about

understanding the meaning of each word, Paul explains. Deep reading is "slow, devoted, rich in

sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity". Through processing details, comparisons,

and other literary devices, the reader's brain creates a mental representation as if the scene were

unfolding in real life.

“It's said that reading a good book is like falling in love with the writer. Paul cites another

study by psychologist Victor Nell from a university in South Africa, who found that when

readers are enjoying the experience most, the pace of their reading slows.

The combination of fast, fluent understanding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the

page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with their own thoughts, analysis, memories

and opinions. It's as if reader and writer were engaged in a deep and real conversation, like

people falling in love.

None of this is possible when we browse web pages. We will eventually lose the ability to

appreciate our literary heritage because novels, poems and other kinds of literature can be

understood only by readers whose brains are trained to read them. And even some educators just

meet young people where they are by adapting education to their onscreen habits.

With the electronic devices spreading universally, Paul warns, deep reading has become an

endangered practice. We should care about how we read as much as what we read. So pick up a

book, sit back, and let a spiritual journey begin that will take you places only deep reading can.
