You need to be of a certain age to understand why so many people in Hollywood are caring about the possible closing down of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (米高梅电影公司)．For the past 40 years, its output has been good, but now it is on the ropes, with debts of $ 3.7 billion and will have to sell off its most valuable assets.

In its golden time, MGM stood for something．If Warner Brothers meant social dramas and gangster movies, and Disney meant cartoon films, then MGM was healthy fantasy．This business model found its most glorious expression in its musicals of the post-war era．It also featured such many famous stars as Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Judy Garland.

But MGM had always put its hopes on the quality of stars it could attract．From the time MGM became a company in 1924, the studio and his associate proved themselves good at creating big names.

For 35 years, this worked well enough, but the growing power of television disturbed Hollywood．MGM continued to throw money into making gorgeous-looking musicals, but despite some big successes audiences gradually started to drift away．Throughout the sixties, MGM's decline set in．Things went from bad to worse．In 1973, MGM stopped distributing its own films．Since then, the Lion's roar has been reduced to a whimper (呜咽).

How far MGM has fallen can be shown by its recent releases．This was a studio that for years offered a reliable supply of first-class films．Yet last year its total output was three．To make it worse, all were co-produced with other studios．And this year? Only one so far, and maybe the last.

What now? MGM will probably be sold, though recent buyers have been cautious about a price thought to be around $ 2 billion.

1.MGM is becoming the focus in Hollywood because it _______．

A. has more supporters        B. has produced good films

C. might be closed down      D. has lost all its assets

2.What can we learn about MGM from the text?

A. It has been sold out for around $ 2 billion.

B. The Internet was a factor causing its decline.

C. It only produced three films by itself last year.

D. It made a wrong decision for its development.

3.What's the main idea of the text?

A. The past glories of MGM．      B. The musicals made by MGM.

C. The decline of MGM．      D. A historical decision by MGM

We all want to go somewhere — somewhere that has been on our bucket list ages.1. We often picture the scenes like four cities in seven days, “must-see’s” in Tokyo，famous landmarks in Europe and so on. It’s as if the faster we’re checking things off our list, the more we are experiencing.

2. Traveler, the South Korean reality show, can perhaps give us some idea of what travel is like Traveler's travelers don't have a mission and there isn’t a competition for them to win.

Instead, it focuses on “depicting (描绘) the real experience of traveling by showing the processes of finding a place to stay or grabbing (拦下) a taxi”, according to The Korea Times. 3. It isn’t about getting or not getting somewhere as quickly as possible, but about simply being excited as you’re getting there or not getting there at all.

4. You may ignore the guidebook’s recommendation and ask local people where they prefer to eat and hang out. And you’ll be surprised by what a place has to offer when you’re not busy rushing around and checking things off your bucket list.

A.It’s true that we all want to go “somewhere”.

B.But do you know what you are experiencing?

C.Why not stop rushing you off your feet and slow down?

D.This is actually the concept of what’s called “slow travel”.

E.So, we tend to squeeze as many sights into our trip as possible.

F.You may try to wander off the main road and take a back street instead.

G.However, concerning it’s probably not quantity that counts but quality.

Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.

I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金)(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)

For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.

We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.

1.What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.The more, the better. B.Enough is enough.

C.More money, more worries. D.Earn more and spend more.

2.What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?

A.Saving up for her holiday B.Raising money for a poor girl

C.Adding the money to her fund D.Giving the money to a sick mother

3.Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?

A.To try out an idea

B.To show a parent’s love

C.To train his attention

D.To help him start a hobby

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Take It or Leave It B.A Lesson from Kids

C.Live More with Less D.The Pleasure of Giving
