【题目】Answer the questions.

Millions of film viewers are excited about the Indian movie Dangal (《摔跤吧爸爸》), not just because it’s a well-produced move. It’s the true story of an Indian father, Mahavir Phogat, who trained his daughters to become the best wrestlers (摔跤选手) of the country when women weren’t even considered (认为) to be able of wrestling.

Phogat’s inspiration to train his daughters to become wrestlers came from Karnam Mall-eswari, the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal. Phogat thought his girls can lead the country in women’s wrestling if he trained them properly. So he gave up his job and taught them all the tricks he knew from his own experience as a wrestler. The girls, Geeta and Babita, started their training by running in the farm every day.

Since there were no other female wrestlers in the village, the girls had to compete with the boys. However, the villagers laughed at them and told them to go back home for wrestling was a “male” sport.

However, Phogat didn’t listen to any of this. Eventually, he took his girls to the Sports Authority (部门) of India, where they trained under professional coaches.

And the outcome of all this blood and sweat? History was made.

In 2010, Geeta Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in the 55kg freestyle women’s wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. Babita Phogat finished with a silver medal. In 2012, Geeta became the first Indian woman to win a bronze () medal at World Wrestling Championship. Babita won her first gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The Phogat sisters have shown that women can stand out at any sport if they put their heart and hard work into it. They have also proved that wrestling is not just a man’s sport.

This is one of the main reasons why I think Dangal is going to be one of the most important movies of the year. It’s a message of encouragement to all the women who have been working hard to achieve their dreams.

People consume more than 2.25 billion cups of coffee across the world every day, and most say coffee tastes bitter.

Now, a new study suggests that coffee lovers can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the color of their cup. Scientists claim that blue and glass cups, which are popular in some coffee shops, reduce a coffee’s bitterness, without any need for sugar.

To prove their claim, scientists found 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups – blue, white and transparent (透明) glass – to do an experiment. In the experiment, white cup enhanced the flavor of coffee, which made coffee drunk from the white cup taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups. The blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.

The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness. So coffee in white cups, which appears the brownest, tastes the least sweet.

“The study suggests that café owners and baristas (咖啡吧服务员), as well a coffee cup manufacturers (制造商), should carefully consider the color of their cups,” said the scientists.

However, the idea that color can alter the taste of food and drink is not new.

A study published last year revealed that red, strawberry-flavored mousse served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorous than the same food presented on a black plate.
