You may surf the internet to choose some films for the long holidays. Read the following introductions for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Happiness (Romance) ★★★★

Happiness tells the story of two people (Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy) who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I scream (Thriller ) ★★

In I scream, Paul (Colin Jacks) is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn’t make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul’s Heroes (Comedy) ★★★

This is very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers (including Sammy Turblow) have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it’s great fun getting there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Drama ) ★★★★

This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, who plays a hard-working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr Lloyd (Phidl Driver) who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America.

Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.

A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.

The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.

Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”

1.What can we conclude from the text?

A. All that glitters is not gold.

B. It never rains but pours.

C. Every coins has two sides.

D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.

2. The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”.

A. calling　　　 B. reaching　　　 C. getting　　 D. using

3.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.

B. Nine- tenths spent over three hours checking work emails.

C. One-fourth check their first mail between 11 p.m. and midnight.

D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 8 .am ..

4.What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Workaholics like smartphones.

B. Smartphones bring about extra work.

C. Smartphones make our life easier.

D. Employers don’t like smartphones.

Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.

The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee’s attention.”

“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university’s website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day’s work, and as a result, increases productivity(生产效率),”he said.

According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That’s not always a good idea.”

However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without,” he said.

1.What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?

A. People who surf the Internet are good employees.

B. Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.

C. Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.

D. The Internet is becoming more and more important in people’s life.

2. According to Paragraph 3, Brent Coker would most probably agree that______.

A. the longer a person’s mind rests ,the better attention he will have

B. surfing the Internet is the best way to increase productivity

C. workers should have a long break during office hours

D. Workers should let their minds rest now and then

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?

A. Watching videos.              B. Reading online news.

C. Reading online novels          D. Playing online games.

4.The underlined word “block” in Paragrap4 means “_____”.

A. prevent       B. cycle        C. burst         D. breathe

5.What can we infer form the last paragraph?

A. Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.

B. Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.

C. Most people don’t surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.

D. People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.
