In Britain,it's bottoms up from the week before Christmas till the last firework explodes in the sky announcing the new year,.The last Friday before Christmas popularly known as‘Mad Friday’—is one of the busiest periods for the country’s pubs and clubs.

But it's not just the bars that get busy.Ambulances and A&E departments around Britain get packed out too.Head injuries,,cuts,falls…it's easy to end up hurting yourself or others when self-control disappear and your head is spinning due to alcoho1.Revelers(纵酒狂欢的人)have been warned by the health authorities about the dangers of deadly drinking but drinking crazily seems to be part of the festivities for some.

The charity Alcohol Concern is running a campaign of restriction by encouraging people to have a dry January.

Jackie Ballard,the charity’s Chief Executive,believes the campaign has been successful in recent years.She says:“More than two-thirds of people even six months later are drinking at reduced levels having had a month off drink.But also a study has shown the impact it has on people’s health reducing their blood pressure and blood sugar levels.”

The study by the University of Sussex followed up nearly 900 participants in Alcohol Concern’s Dry January campaign and found out that 72%of them had kept harmful drinking sessions down and 4%were still not drinking.

Moderation(适度)seems to be the key to everything.The official recommendation for women is not to regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of alcohol a day.The limit for men is 3 to 4 units of alcohol—no more than a pint of 5.2%ABV lager,beer or cider.

NOWADAYS, most animated (动画) films rely heavily on computer technology. But his magical world – where witches (魔法师) cast spells and castles float in the sky – is brought to life by hand. Nevertheless, Hayao Miyazaki is referred to as Japan’s Walt Disney and considered by many to be the world’s greatest living animator.

This month, the 72-year-old Miyazaki announced his retirement. The Japanese animator has directed 11 animated full-length films over the past four decades, including the Oscar-winning Spirited Away (《千与千寻》) and his latest release, The Wind Rises (《起风了》), which tells the life story of a man who designed Japanese World War II fighter planes.

Just as The Wind Rises shows, Miyazaki is well-known for his obsession with flight, especially human flight. Other striking aspects of Miyazaki’s films include his themes of environmental protection and the horrors of war.

Miyazaki’s work is also famous for its lack of clearly defined good and evil characters. He sees the 21st century as a complex time when old norms need to be re-examined.

As a storyteller, he is an inventor of fairy tales full of mystery. In the Miyazakian universe, wizards (巫师) turn into birds of prey; young girls are transformed overnight into 90-year-old women; greedy parents are changed into pigs; and shooting stars become fire demons (恶魔).

As a visual (视觉的) artist, most of Miyazaki’s grace comes from his vivid (鲜明的) colors and lovingly drawn landscapes – a rolling meadow (草地) covered with flowers and shadowed by clouds, or a range of rocky hills rising toward snow-capped mountain peaks

People attribute Miyazaki’s success to his long pursuit of his hand-drawn technique, although in an interview with CNN he called himself an “extinct species” in the age of digital animation.

A recent television documentary on the making of The Wind Rises showed a disappointed Miyazaki throwing a pile of drawings into the trash. He is said to have redrawn thousands of frames of the much-praised Princess Mononoke (《幽灵公主》) when they did not meet his standards.

But his huge attention to detail has earned him the respect of the entire animated film world. Even John Lasseter – head of Pixar, the famous US computer animation studio – once called Miyazaki “one of the greatest filmmakers of our time”.

1.What can we know about Miyazaki’s film The Wind Rises?

A.It was put on a long time ago.

B.Its hero is a soldier.

C.It describes horrors of war.

D.It is an Oscar-winning film.

2.What does the underlined word “obsession” mean in paragraph 3? ?

A.Enthusiasm B.Hate

C.Envy D.Sympathy

3.According to the article,Miyazake’s films _____.

A.are full of mystery and imaginative characters and landscapes

B.are likely to use hand-drawn technique and redrawn abstract frames

C.are full of new norms and clearly defined good and evil characters

D.are likely to demonstrate environmental protection and anti-war themes

4.What is the main idea of this article ?

A.Miyazake’s impact on Japanese culture

B.the characteristics of Miyazake’s films

C.what inspired Miyazake to create his films

D.what made Miyazake succeed
