Years ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: Cinderella.

In Hollywood and in today’s economy, it is more like $70 million and that is just a start. “Cinderella” made that amount in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the merchandising deals linked to the movie are also hugely valuable.

So the artistic success of the film is open to debate. What is clear, however, is the movie’s business success. It is a hit in the theaters but it is also a hit in retail (零售). And Disney widened its usual market for “Cinderella” products.

There are products connected to the Disney film targeted not only at little girls, but women, too. For example, the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo partnered with Disney to create a version of Cinderella’s “glass slippers” or shoes. You can buy them for about $5,000. At that price, you would not want to lose one at the ball, even if that is the way you get your prince. Several other shoemakers also accepted Disney deals to design versions of the famous footwear.

The makeup company MAC quickly sold all its products with official links to “Cinderella.” But lucky buyers were soon selling the products on the online marketplace eBay for many times the original price.

HSN is a popular television and online retailer (零售商) of jewelry, clothing and objects for the home. The marketer is now an exclusive seller of “Cinderella” products.

So, is there anything left for the children, those people we think of as the traditional audience for the age-old fairy tale? Yes, you can find toys and other children’s products at the American retailer JC Penney. Of course, you can also visit a Disney store.

Disney also produced an animated version of “Cinderella.” It came out in 1950 and is considered a classic. Which do you think the Disney company does better: live action (实景真人) or animated films? Post your thoughts in the comments section.

1.Products connected to the film “Cinderella” are generally aimed at ________.

A. toy retailers　　　　　　　　　　 　 B. shoe designers

C. female consumers　　　　　　　　　　 D. make-up producers

2.The film “Cinderella” is also a hit in retail because ________.

A. it has always been warmly welcomed by successful businessmen

B. huge profits were made in the sales of various “Cinderella” products

C. box-office profit is much larger than the derivatives (衍生产品) of the film

D. Disney produced both a live action and an animated version of the film

3.What could be the best title for this passage?

A. “Cinderella” Is a Big Hit in the Theaters.

B. Two Different Versions of “Cinderella”.

C. Debates on the Artistic Success of “Cinderella”.

D. “Cinderella” Is More than Just a Movie for Kids.

We are always told that TV is not good for us. If it is true, how come the TV-addicted kids of our young generation nowadays are much smarter than we are? In my family, the only persons who can work the TV remote control well are the children.

Probably TV really educates us. For example, we can learn a very useful medical fact: A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying. “The killer was…” (dies)

But I suppose the biggest things that we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things simply happen on either stormy or dark nights. Emotional breakdowns make people wander in the heavy rain without raincoats or umbrellas. And contrary to the scientists, the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash come on at exactly the same time, wherever the scenes are.

I’ve even got to know useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens only speak the language of English no matter which planet they come from.

To make good use of something that we learn from TV can make our security better. Consider these truths. When you are really attacked by 20 bad guys, you needn’t worry about your being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.

TV often teaches us a lot of important information as well about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.

Be warned, however, if your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.

TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.

1. When the writer says “A man that has been shot always has time to speak a broken sentence when he is dying” (Paragraph 2), he shows his________.

A. humor            B. sympathy          C. deep concern        D. medical knowledge

2. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world________.

A. bad things cause people to break down in the rain

B. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights

C. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas

D. you can’t hear the crack of lightning and see the accompanying flash exactly at the same time

3. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?

A. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.

B. The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.

C. The news shown is always about someone the person knows.

D. TV always shows news about famous people.

4. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Life skills can be learned from TV.

B. What happens in TV is quite different from reality.

C. Watching TV makes people more creative.

D. TV plays an important role in society.

5. The writer of this passage takes a(n) ________ attitude towards TV plays.

A. positive         B. casual          C. negative           D. indifferent

Is it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost? A plot of the story below is true ... but did it really happen quite like this?

Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt. It is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery (谜) of the Titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of Cairo.

One day, a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo, when he was contacted by an American adventurer.

The American had something unusual to offer Murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen. It was over 3,000 years old, but in beautiful condition — gold, with bright paintings on it. Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking­price. He gave the man a cheque immediately.

The cheque was never cashed. That evening the American adventurer died. For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain. However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb. Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm. The arm had to be cut off.

After the accident, Murray decided to return to his homeland. On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away. The now­terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London. A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her. Shortly afterwards, Jones' mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease. She tried returning the mummy, but naturally Murray refused it. In the end, it was presented to the British Museum.

Even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events. A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit, and a manager also died for no apparent reason. In the end, the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too. They sold it to a collector in New York.

At the start of April 1912, arrangements for the transfer were complete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home. But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case. For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong­room was the mummy case. Or so they say.

1.In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “cursed” is closest in meaning to ________.

A．forgotten　　　　 　 B．uncommon

C．expensive　 　　　　　 D．unlucky

2.In what order did the following events occur?

a．The case was given to the British Museum.

b．Janet Jones caught a mysterious illness.

c．Murray's arm was cut off.

d．The mummy case was sold to an American.

e．A man who took a picture of the case died.

f．Warnings were written on the tomb's walls.

A．f，c，b，a，e，d　 　　　　 B．c，f，b，a，e，d

C．d，f，b，c，a，e　 　　　　 D．f，a，c，b，e，d

3.According to the passage, where is the Egyptian mummy now?

A．At the British Museum.　 B．In New York.

C．In Egypt.　 　　　　　　　　 D．Under the sea.

4.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A．To entertain readers with a story of mystery.

B．To introduce an important historical event to readers.

C．To warn readers about the dangers of mummies' curses.

D．To inform readers about the true cause of the Titanic's sinking.
