J.K. Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasn’t been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.
Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.
The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potter’s textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like children’s fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.
It’s 1927, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.
The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery. Similarly, Newt’s brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. It’s like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.
With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is today’s most creative builder of cinema worlds, but there’s still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasn’t yet finished creating it.
The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world she’s created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works. But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy---which remains unclear.
“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesn’t bother to appeal to a new audience. Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle. It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but it’s not a movie.
1.What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?

B. She was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.

C. Adults going through life changes. D. Professional critics of fantasy books.

A. Complex story and exciting characters.

D. Sad story but inspiring characters.
4.Big corporations like Disney choose movie characters and beasts based on _____.
A. potential profitability of the movies B. preference of their screenwriters

A. By describing shooting processes. B. By listing official statistics.
C. By drawing a comparison. D. By citing examples.

We are all busy talking about and using the Internet but how many of us know the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.
At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals, and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet easier.
Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among young people.

Everyone smiles in the same language.But not everyone smiles in the same medium,and that might be hurting us.
That's according to a new study from researchers at the University of Haifa and Ben-Gurion University,both in Israel,and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.Inadvertently timed to the recent release of “The Emoji Movie,”scientists decided to study whether using smile emojis in text messages between work colleagues caused the same warm feelings as a face-to-face interaction that includes a smile.
The results?For the first time,science was able to confirm that a smile emoji does not conjure those same feelings.Quite the opposite,in fact: using a smile emoji in conversation actually decreases perception of the colleague's competence and inserts a level of distance into the relationship.
It's a phenomenon study leader Arik Cheshin dubbed "virtual first-impression management."He and his colleagues,including co-leader Ella Glikson,conducted several experiments analyzing the reactions to text messages that included smile emojis versus messages that don't.They also measured these same interactions in social settings and found that the emojis actually improved perception.
"I believe there is a greater gap in what the sender is hoping to convey and what the receiver interprets," Cheshin,a professor,said."This intention-interpretation gap can be damaging."
In addition,Cheshin and colleagues found that the effects of smiley use on social perceptions occur regardless of the expresser's perceived gender.
So what's the takeaway here “I don't think that emoticons and emojis replace actual emotion,”Cheshin told us. "They are just different.The emotions are there and will always be when there are humans involved."
Before picking an emoji that fits your mood at the moment,it's better to just use words at least when you're at work.Or,better yet,just show up and talk face-to-face.You know,like the good old days.
1.What is found in the study by Arik?
A. Work colleagues use smile emojis more.
B. A smile emoji leads to warm feelings.
C. Smile emojis keep colleagues at a distance.
D. Smiley use works better than face-to-face interaction.
2.According to Cheshin,the emojis senders may not know______.
A. how much virtual impression it leaves
B. how it changes social settings
C. how it has improved perception
D. how the receiver will understand it
3.What is the writer's attitude towards emojis at work?
A. Cautious. B. Positive.
C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Words mean much more than your smile emojis.
B. Your smile emojis won't replace your actual smile.
C. Smiling is a universal language in any communication.
D. Misunderstanding may arise from smile emojis.
