As ever, the Summer Movie Season is full of series and special effects. But if you’re prepared to look for them, you’ll find some smaller, odder films flying beneath the radar.

Book Club (May 18): A great quartet（四人组）of actresses (Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen) headline this comedy about a book club that gets back into a romantic mood after reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It sounds ridiculous, but if that is a hook for a romantic comedy, it will be trying something new.

Tag (June 15): This comedy looks like it might share some DNA with The Hangover, as a group of friends reunite over the years to play a never-ending game of tag—Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones and Isla Fisher star. In other words: a lot of people we already know are funny, plus Jeremy Renner!

Uncle Drew (June 29): The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it. Stars include Shaquille O’ Neal, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Reggie Miller, J.B. Smoove and an up-and-coming comedy actress, Tifany Haddish.

Skyscraper (July 13): It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running off a crane（起重机）and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain death but that in a movie results in a safe landing! I’m not here to tell you it’s more than it appears. I’m here to tell you it’s probably exactly as it appears. It comes out on July 13, so perhaps on the hottest day of the summer, forget your troubles and see The Rock save his family.

1.Which film can you enjoy this May?

A. Book Club.　　 B. Tag.　　 C. Uncle Drew.　　 D. Skyscraper.

2.What is strange about Uncle Drew?

A. A lot of people in old-age makeup are very funny.

B. A young man has to employ some NBA legends to play in a game.

C. Some current NBA superstars will star in the film.

D. The author cannot wait to see the film.

3.Which film is not a comedy?

A. Book Club.　　 B. Tag.　　 C. Uncle Drew.　　 D. Skyscraper.

The streets of Stockholm may be cold and snowy during winter, but it is one of the world's hottest startup(创业) centers and a good choice for people with talent worldwide.

Once the snow melts(融化) in early spring, the city is among the greenest in the world. Two thirds of Stockholm is made up of either water or parks, and locals make it the first thing to enjoy these peaceful surroundings. Less than l% of Swedish employees work more than 50 hours per week.

The quality of life is important. New parents are given 480 days of leave to look after their babies, while childcare is heavily supported in various sides. Little wonder that Sweden was rated the best location in the world for family life. Adam Webb, 34, a British businessman and father-of-one, said, "Everything is set towards helping parents, from giving dads time off on almost full pay to free bus rides for anyone with a baby carriage."

Stockholm is also proud of what Vogue magazine recently ranked as Europe's coolest neighborhood. On the island of Sodermalm, just south of the city centre, independent record stores still make money, while plenty of cafes offer a taste for Scandinavia's love affairs with timeless style.

Many major international companies, including H&M and Ericsson, offer expats(外来者) accommodation for the first three months of their contracts(合同) in Stockholm. But other foreigners arriving in the city are left to battle with a unique property market and a shortage of apartments. More than a third of Swedes live in rented housing, half of which is owned by local governments or state rental companies. If you're lucky enough to get a firsthand contract for this kind of accommodation, it is yours for life. Expats are welcome to join the queue, but in Stockholm they will find around half a million locals in front of them and an average wait of nine years.

"Finding a place to live is the single biggest challenge when moving to Stockholm, but there is a lot going on to try and solve the problem," said Julika Lamberth from Stockholm Business Region, a state-funded company working to increase investment in the city.

1.Stockholm attracts international talent probably because of its 　　　　 .

A. beautiful weather B. free apartments

C. working policies for employees D. widespread greenness in the city

2.Sweden is on the top of the world for its 　　　　 .

A. tourism B. sports

C. family life D. record stores

3.What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Have More Babies? Go to Sweden!

B. The Best Neighborhood in Sweden

C. The Best City for Working Families

D. The Most Comfortable Apartments in Stockholm

The summer is so hot and sticky, why would we want to sweat even more by exercising? Or is it just I who think like that? Sweat and clothes sticking to our bodies as we move make exercise seem rather uncomfortable. What can be done to fix it?

Researchers at MIT have come up with a solution. They’ve developed a workout suit with flaps that open as the wearer begins sweating. As the person cools off, the flaps shrink until they assume their original position.

Sounds cool, sounds practical. These flaps are lined with live, microbial ( 微生物的)cells. These cells can detect when the body is heating up too much, and in response, expand. It’s just as if they were working within any other organism, recognizing patterns of heating and cooling, then responding appropriately to maintain body temperature. It seems kind of strange to have living cells (that aren’t your own) on you, right? Not to fear, these cells have been believed safe. Plus, there’s a　 material in the suit that helps the flaps/cells hover ever so slightly above the exerciser's skin. The flaps start opening as soon as people start feeling warm and sweaty, and the bit of space between the suit and the skin helps develop that feeling of cool and refreshing air as they move. For more information about flaps, click here.

According to Gadgetify.com, researchers have also been working to apply this technology to running shoes as well. Moisture-responsive workout clothing has the potential to revolutionize sport fashion industry. People can stay drier, cooler and fresher at the end of the workout, which sounds better than leaving the gym with a trail of sweat and a red face. It’s possible that the comfort of these suits can make people enjoy exercising more and exercise with more intensity.

1.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To introduce the topic. B.To show his dislike of summer.

C.To give an example. D.To tell of his dream.

2.What can’t be learned from the passage?

A.When a person doesn’t sweat, the flaps will come to its original position.

B.The flaps themselves can float slightly around the exerciser’s skin.

C.When a person sweats, the flaps will expand.

D.The flaps are essential to cooling exercisers down.

3.What’s mainly talked about in the last paragraph?

A.The influence of the technology. B.The efficiency of the technology.

C.Different reviews on the technology. D.Author’s attitude to the technology.

4.Where does the essay come from?

A.Magazine B.Newspaper

C.Brochure D.Website
