Happiness（Romance）★★★★
Happiness tells the story of two people（Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy）who work for different advertising companies．They talk on the phone all the time and don't like each other．But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love．This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances．It also has beautiful music．

In I Scream，Paul（Colin Jacks）is a young man who joins a thriller club．Each of the members tries to frighten the others．Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night．Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died．This movie is very frightening but also quite silly．It doesn't make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong．Only for people who like thrillers．
Paul's Heroes（Comedy）★★★
This is a very funny war movie set in World War Two．Six soldiers（including Sammy Turblow）have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there．During the movie，they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers．You can guess the ending，but it's great fun getting there．

This is a very good drama with Jack Ross，who plays a hard-working truck driver．His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her．In his travels he meets Dr．Lloyd（Phil Driver）who has found the cure for the illness，but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America．This is an excellent movie，which is very exciting．

Apple's logo is one of the most familiar icons（图标） around the world．But what's the story about the Apple logo？The image of the apple is obvious，because that's the name of the company．What about the bite？The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing．He was the father of computer science．He researched artificial intelligence（人工智能） and unlocked German wartime codes（密码）．However，after the war，he was put into

14．Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer．The training I received，though excellent，didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student，however．When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read，I realized the true importance of reading．
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children．In the first lesson，I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take．When I told her I would get her a bus schedule，she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it．She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed．Also，she could only recognize items by sight，so if the product had a different label，she would not recognize it as the product she wanted．As we worked together，learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence．She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket．After this successful trip，she reported how self-confident she felt．At the end of the program，she began helping her youngest son，Tony，a shy first grader，with his reading．I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before．
As a literacy volunteer，I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others．In fact，I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did．

13．Heidi looked across the road and saw three tired-looking people．One was older，in his 50s，about Dad's age．The others were his son and daughter-in-law．It had clearly been a long，hot day for them．To add to this，Heidi realized that they had discovered that the battery had been stolen from their car．They lived in Avondale，which was 25to 35miles away．
Heidi went to see if she could help them or get them some help．She had the impression that they didn't have anyone else they could call．It seemed as if there was nothing she could do，so she got back into her car and started for home．
On the way，she couldn't stop thinking how terrible it must be for these folks who were essentially stranded．So she went into Pep Boys，an auto supply store．She called over one of the clerks and asked how much a battery for a Toyota Celica cost．
The clerk asked："What year？"Heidi replied："Does it matter？"To which he replied that the year of the car mattered because the battery needed to fit the mounting（装备）．So she guessed 1980-thinking，if it's within a year or two，the battery won't be that different．She paid about＄40 for the battery，and because she didn't have another to trade in，there was an additional environmental fee of＄10．
She took it to the folks who were，of course，still there．She told them that she just couldn't go home knowing that they had no way home．They were so surprised．Anyone would have been．The older gentleman told her that he had prayed for help．I guess Heidi was the answer to that prayer，he said．
Heidi had spent her whole day's earnings on the battery．When she told me her story，I asked："Was it worth the day's work？"You know what she said，don't you？"Oh，yes．"
