The Breakfast Club

Starred by John Hughes, 1985

Five high school students with nothing in common are forced to spend an entire Saturday together in detention (拘留). At seven a.m. they had nothing to say, but by four p.m, they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends — the Jock, the Brain, the Criminal, the Princess, and the Kook.They were finally able to talk about themselves while they were forced to stay together.

Pretty in Pink.

Starred by Howard Deutch, 1986

Pretty in Pink looks at the central dilemma of adolescence where one’s dreams are much larger than one's confidence. Molly Ringwald plays Andie Walsh, a poor girl living with her father and working in a downtown record store. The school she attends is full of wealthy snobs (势利小人) and she likes a rich kid Blane.There is nothing new about the plot-rich boy and poor girl love each other and snobbery nearly destroys the romance.

Clueless

Cher, played by Alicia Silverstone, is one of the most popular girls at Beverly Hills High School where rich kids hang out, talk to each other on cell phones and occasionally attend classes.

At 15 going on 16, Cher has it all — a white Jeep, an extensive wardrobe with a computer to help select the perfect dress, and an unbelievable ability to charm, cajole and whine (哄骗和哭诉) until others obey her requests.The dialogue is wiry and entertaining.

“It was all his own idea, ” says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto, California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39. Bob had just drawn up a “motherhood contract” --a document stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple’s four children, plus all household chores. Although he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident.(He thought the experience would make a nice book.)

After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. “I was beaten down, pletely humbled（挫败的）,”  admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press, stating, “Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being.”

Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put him through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at Palo Alto’s Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids. Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. “I had been around children so much,” she sighs, “I couldn’t talk to a grown-up.” She continued to run the household, however----until Bob signed the contract, therefore, she decided to relax and enjoy it.

Although Peters had consulted(咨询) with his school’s home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria, his meals were sometimes a disaster. “I tried to slip the butter I’d forgotten under the eggs after they were frying, ” he says. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot—sometimes having Macdonald’s hamburgers for lunch and dinner.

As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. “I found an easier way-I shut the doors, ” he says. Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. “I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean.”

Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat. The tentative（暂时的） title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day.

1.The couple signed the contract because _______.

A. Pat plained a lot about her doing the housework all by herself

B. Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good rest

C. they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasks

D. Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book

2.It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to _______.

A. pay a certain amount of money

B.  admit publicly he was wrong about motherhood

C. say sorry to his wife

D. do all the housework for years

3.What can we learn about Pat Peters?

A. She was hard-working and selfless.

B. She was pretty and kind-hearted.

C. She was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.

D. She did not love Bob any longer.

4. Which of the following can best end the news story?

A. “Wait till your mother gets home!”

B. “My experience of being a mother.”

C. “I’m proud of you all, my dear!”

D. “Motherhood: an impossible job for anyone.”

Exactly five years ago, on New Year’s Eve, I was invited to a children’s ball by a man high up in the business world, who had his connections, his circle of acquaintances, and his close friends. So it seemed as though the children’s ball was merely an excuse for the parents to come together and discuss matters of interest to themselves, quite innocently and casually.

I was an outsider, and, as I had no special matters to air, I was able to spend the evening independently of the others. There was another gentleman present who like me had just stumbled upon (偶然发现) this affair of domestic happiness. He was the first to attract my attention. His appearance was not that of a man of noble birth. He was tall, rather thin, very serious, and well dressed. Obviously he had no heart for the family celebration. The instant he went off into a corner by himself the smile disappeared from his face, and his thick dark brows knitted into a frown(皱眉). He knew no one except the host and showed every sign of being bored to death, though bravely keeping the role of thorough enjoyment to the end. Later I learned that he was a provincial, had come to the capital on some important business, had brought a letter of recommendation to our host, and our host had taken him under his protection, not at all with love. It was merely out of politeness that he had invited him to the children’s ball.

They did not play cards with him. They did not offer him cigars. No one entered into conversation with him. Possibly they recognized the bird by its feathers from a distance. Thus, my gentleman, not knowing what to do with his hands, was compelled(迫使) to spend the evening stroking (抚摸) his whiskers(胡须). His whiskers were really fine, but he stroked them so eagerly that one got the feeling that the whiskers had come into the world first and afterwards the man in order to stroke them.

1.According to the author, the real purpose of the children ball was that ______.

A. the parents wanted to make their children happy

B. the parents had a chance to meet and socialize

C. the host hoped to make the guests happy

D. the host wanted to give a welcome to an important guest

2.The gentleman was unhappy because ______.

A. he was one of the poor relatives of the host

B. he was from the countryside

C. he was trying to do some business with the host

D. he was not really welcome in the ball

3.The gentleman touched his whiskers eagerly just because ______.

A. he liked his whiskers very much　　 B. he had the habit of doing so

C. he was embarrassed in the ball　　 D. he felt uneasy wearing whiskers

4.When the author was telling the story, he was ______.

A. humorous　　 B. serious

C. joking　　 D. doubtful
