　　A scientist who developed a way to calculate(计算) how much water is used in the produciton of anything form a cup of coffee to a hamburger was awarded the 2008 Stockholm Water Prize.

　　Professor John Anthony Allan of the University of London in Britain won the award for introducing the idea of "virtual water(虚拟水)",a calculation method that has changed the nature of trade policy and research.

　　Allan has written seven books and published more than 100 papers.

　　The Stockholm International Water Institute said this idea is now embedded(埋藏) in the production of foods and industrial products.The institute said Allan's work had made a big effect on global trade policy and research,especially in water - scarce(缺水) regions.

　　"The improved understanding of trade and water management issues on local,regional and global scales are of the highest value for the successsful and sustainable(可持续的) use of water resources,"it said.

　　"People do not only use water when they drink it or take a shower,"the institute said. "Behind the morning cup of coffee,there are 140 liters of water that was used to grow,produce,package and ship the beans."That is about as much water as a person in England uses on average for all daily drinking and household needs.

　　"For a single hamburger,about 2,400 liters of water are needed.In te USA ,the average person uses nearly 7,000 liters of virtual water every day" It said that was more than three times the average use of a Chinese person.

TWENTY-FIVE years ago director Stephen Spielberg captured the hearts of Western audiences with his family classic．E．T．Now his Hong Kong director Stephen Chow is trying to do the same trick in China．

Chow's latest movie CJ7(《长江七号》)，in cinemas now，is a heart-warming story about a poor migrant worker(外来务工者) and his son．When a strange alien enters their lives，father and son learn a lesson about the value of family．Chow hopes his movie will help to make family films more popular in China．

Family films have been the main part of the Hollywood market for the last 40 years．They have given audiences movies like E．T．, Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park．However, there are few of these movies in China, where expensive history films are more popular．

A family film is not simply a children's movie．It is a film that is not only suitable for children, but appeals to the whole family．

According to Raymound Zhou，a famous film critic，these films are rare in China because“very few families go to the cinema together”．Because of this，there is little demand for movies that appeal to the whole family．　　　　

However, in the West，it is common for the family to sit down and watch a movie together．Tim Bridges, from London，says：“I love it at Christmas when I sit down and watch a movie with my family．” 　　　　

All family films contain similar messages about being honest、remaining positive and learning there is more to life than money．According to the American movie reviewer，Dave Johnson, this is because “When parents watch a movie，they want their children to be learning good values”．　　　　

Just like when the alien in Spielberg's E．T．phones home to make contact with his family, Chow will hope Chinese audiences are tuned in and ready to receive his family movie message．

63．Which of the following can replace the underlined part in the last paragraph?

A．understand what others are thinking  B．make telephones

C．go to the cinema                     D．sing songs　　　　

64．What is the family film，according to the passage?

A．A kind of film that is about history．

B．A kind of film in which the characters are animals．

C．A kind of film that is meant for both children and adults

D．A kind of film that is about families　　　　

65．What is implied but not stated directly in the passage?

A．Families in China should go to the cinema at Christmas．

B．It's good for children to watch family films．　　　　

C．Chinese families don't like family films．

D．The movie CJ7 has nothing in common with E．T．

66．It can be inferred that in the future，_______．

A．Chinese families will go to the cinema together　　　　

B．there may be more family films in China　　

C．making family films in China is not easy

D．family films are about love
