Movies to Enjoy
“Eating Animals”
The 2018 documentary “Eating Animals”, based on the book by Jonathan Safran Foer published in 2009, tells us that factory farming is bad, and that most Americans don’t realize just how bad. Still, this isn’t a feel-guilty film. There’s plenty of hope as director Christopher Quinn shows farmers who are still using practices that do not, for example, force chickens to live their short lives in a dark building while covered in their own poop（大便）. Will the film cause you to go vegan（素食者）？Eh, burgers are really tasty. But it will make you think about what it is that you’re putting in your mouth and maybe inspire you to head for the farmers’ market to see what a chicken that lived a happy life tastes like.

It was 3:21 a.m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the cracking (爆烈声) of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin Long Island.
With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, fell down onto the lawn.
The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy stayed calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self-control of a trained adult."
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
Grasping firmly a ball of string (线) from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand, he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan, "The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
1.Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
A.He wanted to find out what was happening.
B.He was worried about his mother’s safety.
C.He wanted to save his sister and brother.
D.He went to see if his father had come back from work.
2.Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?
A.Glenn. B.Glenn’s father.
C.Glenn’s sister. D.Glenn’s neighbor.
3.Which of the following can replace “unconscious” in Paragraph 3?
A.unfortunate B.confuse
C.terrified D.senseless
4.Glenn saved his family because ______.
A.his father had taught him to do so on the phone
B.he had learned something about first aid
C.he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely
D.he had followed his mother’s instructions

Celebrity (名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption (消费) on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.
Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.
However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels.
Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s (自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion—like celebrity—has always been temporary.
1.Fashion magazines today ______.
A.totally refuse to put models on the cover
B.rarely place models on the cover
C.need not worry about celebrities’ market potential
D.judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly
2.A change in the consumer market can be found today that ______.
A.price rather than brand name is more concerned
B.producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements
C.producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements
D.quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned
3.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly ______.
A.shorten the artistic career of a celebrity in show business
B.damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public
C.cut short the time of a celebrity’s popularity
D.influence the price of a celebrity’s products
4.The passage is mainly about ______.
A.celebrity and personal style B.celebrity and market potential
C.celebrity and fashion design D.celebrity and clothing industry

In 1977, a University of Oxford statistician named Richard Peto pointed out a simple yet puzzling biological fact: we humans should have a lot more cancer than mice, but we don’t.
Dr. Peto’s argument was simple. Every time a cell divides, there’s a small chance it will gain a mutation(突变) that speeds up its growth. Cells that accumulate (聚集) several of these mutations may become cancerous. The bigger an animal is, the more cells it has, and the longer an animal lives, the more times its cells divide. We humans undergo (经历) about 10,000 times as many cell divisions as mice—and thus should be far more likely to get cancer.
A number of scientists have assumed that large, long-lived animals must have evolved extra cancer-fighting weapons. Otherwise, these species would die out.
Dr. Joshua D. Schiffman, an oncologist (肿瘤学家）at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, reviewed zoo records on the deaths of 644 elephants and found that less than 5 percent died of cancer. By contrast, 11 percent to 25 percent of humans die of cancer.
To understand the elephants’ defenses, the scientists investigated a gene that is vital to preventing cancer called p53. The protein encoded by the gene monitors cells for damage to the DNA they contain. Dr. Schiffman and his colleagues found that elephants have evolved new copies of the p53 gene. While humans have only one pair of p53 genes, the scientists identified 20 pairs in elephants.
To see whether these extra copies of p53 made a difference in fighting cancer, they ran experiments on elephant cells. They treated elephant cells with damaging radiation, chemicals and UV light.
“In all cases, instead of trying to repair the damage, the elephant cells simply committed suicide” said Dr. Schiffman. He said he thought the way the elephant cells responded was a very effective way to block cancer.
Patricia Muller, an oncologist at the MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of Leicester, who was not involved in the studies, said the results, though convincing, didn’t firmly establish exactly how elephants use p53 to fight cancer. One possibility is that the extra copies don’t actually cause cells to commit suicide. Instead, they may act as decoys (诱饵) for enzymes (酶) that destroy p53 proteins.
Dr. Muller said it was especially important to understand precisely how elephants fight cancer before trying to copy their strategies with drugs for humans.
1.What does the 2nd paragraph want to tell us?
A.Human should be more likely to develop cancer than mice.
B.Cell division can increase the speed of growth of mutations.
C.The bigger an animal is, the smaller chance of getting cancer it has.
D.Dr. Peto’s argument was not simple.
2.According to the passage, p53 is ______.
A.a protein to prevent cancer B.a gene to defend against cancer
C.a protein to destroy damaged cells D.a gene to change cells
3.What does Dr. Schiffman say about the extra copies of p53 fighting cancer?
A.They cause the cells to repair the genes.
B.They stop cells from dividing further.
C.They act as decoys for enzymes that destroy p53 proteins.
D.They cause the cells to commit suicide.
4.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Dr. Schiffman pointed out that we humans don’t have more cancer than mice.
B.The cancer death rate of humans is five percent higher than that of elephants.
C.The scientists found there are 20 pairs of p53 genes in elephants.
D.Dr. Muller also took part in the studies.

There is a huge power in knowing how to make adjustments in life. In fact, it’s possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments. 1.
Whatever your station in life, everyone will face what I call the 3Cs: changes, challenges and choices. The following are some simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments.
2.
Most people see with their eyes but very few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but also what they don’t say. Reading body language and voice inflection (音调变化) can help you listen between the lines. All these play an effective role in helping you to think with your eyes and ears.
Learn to go with the flow.
The people who learn to make the best life adjustments can develop the habit of going with the flow. 3. Notice people who can go with the flow and you will find a person with sharp instincts they depend on.
4.
If you can keep an attitude of preparation for 3Cs, you’ll have the best chance of making effective life adjustments.
As the saying goes, if you stay ready, you do not have to get ready. 5.
A.Listen to what people don’t say.
B.So, what’s one of the key factors for people who fail to make life adjustments?
C.Learn to think with your eyes and ears.
D.The best way to do that is to trust your instincts.
E.Be prepared for changes, challenges and choices.
F.The key is in knowing where they are needed and how much.
G.That’s the best advice for anyone who wants to make the best life adjustments and win!

The British are supposed to be famous in laughing at themselves, but even their sense of humor has a limit. When Ratner took over his father’s shops in 1984, he introduced a very clearly company policy, which was great success. By 1991, Ratner’s company had owned 2,400 shops. And later that year, Gerald Ratner made a big mistake. At a big business meeting, he explained the secret of his success — people asked, “How can you sell your goods at such a low price?” He said, “Because of they are absolute rubbish.” His audience burst out laugh. But the British newspapers and the British public were not so amusing. People felt angry and stayed away from Ratner’s shops. Six months after his speech, sales fall sharply. The following year, things got bad and Gerald Ratner was forced to resign. By the end of 1992, he had lost his company and 25,000 of his employee had lost their jobs.
