It can be painful to talk about China’s left-behind children. But the film The Taste of Rice Flower deals with the topic in a light and touching way.

The film came out on April 20. It is a mother-daughter story. Ye Nan is a woman of the Dai ethnic group(傣族). She returns to her home village in Yunnan after working in Shanghai for a few years. During her time away, her daughter has grown into a rebellious 13-year-old. The old film shows how Ye Nan and her daughter tries to reconnect.

_____________. In the beginning, the girl often hides herself inside a quilt, as she can’t get used to seeing her mother’s face again. And as a troublemaker, she often drives her mother crazy. She secretly plays computer games in the middle of the night, makes trouble in her classes at school and even steals money.

But the tension(紧张状态)between the two is not the film’s focus. It presents their daily lives in great detail and how their relationship changes over time. When the mother finds her daughter at an Internet bar, instead of beating her, she stays in the car outside for a whole night to wait for her daughter patiently. Gradually, they rebuild their love for each other.

As a review on paper.cn said, the film doesn’t offer solutions to the problem of left-behind children, but only presents what’s happening. It encourages people to feel, think and take action.

1.The film The Taste of Rice Flower is a story about　　　　 .

A.a mother and a son B.a mother and a daughter

Can you imagine what it would be like to live and study in an ancient castle (城堡)? I’m talking about British boarding (寄宿) schools， where some children actually live like Harry Potter (although sadly without the magic).

Boarding schools in Britain are not cheap. The average cost is￡25，152 (254，011 yuan) for just one year. The schools are usually very old and rich in history. They played a big role in British history， and have close connections to Oxford and Cambridge universities. Students are usually very rich； Prince William and Harry both went to Eton， a school which has produced 19 British prime ministers (首相).

One of the most important things for these schools is sport. Cricket (板球)， rugby (英式橄榄球) and rowing (赛艇运动) are played nearly every day. These games build teamwork and discipline (纪律). There is a famous saying in English， “The British Empire (帝国) was built on the playing fields of Eton.”

Boarding schools often appear in English books and films. The young child without parents growing up in a boarding school is found in hundreds of stories， although the most famous now is Harry Potter. Boarding schools are becoming less traditional， though， and more international. Nearly 9，000 foreign kids joined a British boarding school last year， and a third of these came from China.

1.Are boarding schools expensive in Britain?

________________________________________

2.What is the school Eton famous for?

________________________________________

3.What can students learn from those daily sports?

________________________________________

4.How many Chinese students went to British boarding schools last year?
