US writer Margaret Lee Runbeck once wrote, Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of travelling. But travelling is not always happy, at least for the buddies in the movie green Book. The popular film won Best Picture at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb 25.
The movie was adapted from the true story of a road trip through the southern US in the early 1960s. In the film, the black pianist Don Shirley hires Italian-American Tony Vallelonga to drive him to performances, but they face problems because of Shirley's skin color. These problems lead them to form a special friendship.
“There's something so deeply right about this movie, so true to the time,” wrote US film critic Mick LaSalle. The time La Salle is talking about was between late 1870s and 1960s, a very different period in US history. Many parts of the country had Jim Crow laws, which allowed racial segregation(种族隔离).
These laws made life and travel dangerous for African-Americans. They couldn't use certain hotels, restaurants, or even gas stations. They had to be indoors after sunset or they might go to jail. Even black celebrities had to follow the laws.
But in 1936, a black postman named Victor H. Green made a list of friendly businesses in New York City. He published the list as a small book with a green cover. The Green Book helped African-Americans travel more safely. Then, in 1964 ,Jim Crow laws went away. The book went away, too.
Today many US people still remember the time of Jim Crow. But they probably don’t know about The Green Book. It's a forgotten part of the story. Thanks to this movie,maybe people can remember it again.
1.The story in the movie happened_________in the US.
A.in1936 B.in the early 1960s C.In1964 D.in the late 1870s
2.According to the Jim Crow laws, African-Americans_________.

“Our happiness is coming back. I can’t help licking (舔) my lips,” one Sina Weibo user wrote after hearing that street food stalls (路边小吃摊) are returning to the streets in many Chinese cities.
On June 4, the central government of China called for a comeback of street stalls. According to Premier Li Keqiang, street stalls are part of China’s economic recovery (复苏) plan, CGTN reported. Their return is expected to help increase people’s incomes and boost local economies that were hit hard by the novel coronavirus outbreak.
“Street stalls and small shops, just like bigger and high-end (高端的) industries, are important sources of jobs and important to the country’s economy,” Li said while chatting with a man selling malaban, a street snack, in Yantai on June 1.
In recent years, many cities around the country banned (禁止) street stalls in order to keep cities clean and prevent traffic jams. Experts have called for greater guidance (引导) to make street stalls more orderly this time, China Daily reported.
Although Beijing’s government said street stalls are “not suitable” for the capital, many other cities have already rolled out policies to support street stalls, including Nanjing, Changchun and Chengdu. They will be managed in a more efficient (有效率的) way.
For example, in Changchun, food stalls can be opened in certain areas in parks, public squares and empty spaces as long as they don’t interrupt (扰乱) traffic or disturb their neighbors. They also have to pass environmental protection assessments (评估). People are also being allowed to set up temporary (临时的) roadside businesses, but they must do business in an orderly manner, The Paper reported.
1.When did the central government of China call for a comeback of street stalls?
2.What is the purpose of a comeback of street stalls?
3.How many cities are mentioned in the passage?
4.Who did Premier Li chat with in Yantai ?
5.Are food stalls popular with the people in cities?

Agatha Christie is possibly the world’s most famous detective(侦探的) story writer. She wrote about 80 novels, and her sales (4 billion copies of her novels) was over those of William Shakespeare. However, behind her works was a shy woman whose life was often lonely and unhappy.
She was born in 1890 in Devon, the third child of Clarissa and Frederick Miller, and grew into a beautiful and sensitive(敏感的) girl. She didn’t go to school but was educated by her parents. Her father taught her maths through stories and games, and her mother encouraged her to write by her own stories. Unfortunately her father died in 1901 when she was 11, and both she and her mother were very sad.
When World War I came in 1914, she became a nurse in a hospital, which was very useful to her later work. Many of the murders(杀人犯) in her books were carried out by a clever use of medicine, showing how much she had learnt about them as a nurse.
She wrote her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1916. And it was published in 1920. In this novel she introduced Hercule Poirot, the Belgian detective who appeared in many later novels. Her other main detective was Miss Marple, who was from Agatha’s grandmother and her circle of friends. Christie’s stories keep the reader guessing who the murderer is until the very end of the story.
In 1914, at the beginning of the war, she married Archibald Christie, but the marriage was unhappy. It didn’t last and they left each other in 1926. It was a very difficult time for her, as her much-loved mother had died earlier that year. Agatha suffered a lot and one night she drove her car and disappeared.
She went missing for eleven days and was finally found in a hotel in Harrogate, in the North of England. Agatha only wanted staying alone but the newspapers had given her a hard time over her driving the car and disappearing. She decided never to let them enter her private life again
She enjoyed a very happy second marriage to Max Mallowan who she met in Baghdad and married in 1930. Her detective skills were a help to him in his work in Syria and Iraq. By successfully staying out of the newspapers, she found happiness with her husband. Her best novels were written after 1930, and she continued writing until 1973. She died peacefully in 1976.
