What can we do whenever Earth faces a disaster? Is the only solution running away from the planet in spaceships? The latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wondering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious(有雄心的)idea.
The film is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. We're taking the Earth with us to run away.
What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films? It's probably the special cultural background. For thousands of years, “homeland” has rooted in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old saying is luoyeguigen. It means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. There are also many ancient poems about homeland. “The season called the White Dew begins tonight / Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright” (露从今夜白,月是故多明). These all show that Chinese people have the tight bond(情感纽带) with their homeland.
What is Chinese sci-fi? Guo Fan, the film’s director said: “Chinese sci-fi is a way to express our cultural and the spiritual core (精神内核). Otherwise, we’re just imitating(模仿)others and telling the same American stories.” And the film was released on February 5, 2019, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. It seems the best time to tell this Chinese sci-fi story. Anyway, to us Chinese, Earth goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.
1.Why do people consider the film so ambitious?
A. Humans work together to build a giant engine system.
B. Humans are trying to take the Earth to run away together
C. The film story is written by the famous writer Liu Cixin
D. People have managed to run away from Earth in spaceships
2.Why does the writer use the old saying and ancient poems in this passage?
A. To tell the difference between Chinese and American.
B. To remind us of China's thousands of years of history.
C. To teach some Chinese traditional cultures and spirits.
D. To express Chinese people's love of their homeland.
3.What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style sci-fi?

4.What's the best title for the passage?

In most space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always running away from the planet in spaceship. But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different idea.
The movie is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Half of our planet’s population is already dead and big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are destroyed. To save the Earth, the whole world works together and comes up with a plan: Move the whole planet to a safe place. Instead of running away from Earth, this time we’re taking it with us.
Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home. That makes The Wandering Earth different for Hollywood-style space films. And the makers of the film may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was shown on Feb.5, the first day of Chinese New Year. Ti was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. “What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “Chinese sci-fi can really express our culture and spirit. If we can’t do that, we’re just copying and telling the same American stories.”
I think this is a great movie. When facing a disaster, people from different parts of the world work together to save out planet. I was actually moved to tears by it. It is a movie you can’t miss.
1.In the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, _____ will destroy our planet
A. Earth B. humans C. aliens D. the sun
2.Who thinks of the plans to move the Earth in the film?
A. Liu Cixin B. The whole world C. Chinese D. Guo Fan

In many – even most – space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always fleeing the planet in spaceships. But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious idea.
In the film, based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In response, humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. Instead of abandoning Earth again – this time we’re taking it with us.
This “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom is luoyeguigen, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. Or look to an ancient verse: “The season called the White Dew begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright”. These both show the tight bond that Chinese people have had with their homeland.This special cultural background is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood-style space films.
“What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that can really express our cultural and spiritual core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just imitating others and telling the same American stories.”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns.
So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
1.What is the difference between The Wandering Earth and Hollywood-style space films?
A. A different and more ambitious idea. B. Its Chinese makers.
C. The story with great imagination. D. The specical cultural background.
2.What does the underlined word ‘abandoning’ mean in Chinese?
A. 抛弃 B. 毁灭 C. 依赖 D. 索取
3.The makers of this film choose Feb 5 to put on it probably because ________.
A. it was the Spring Festival and many people have time to watch it
B. many old people want to return to their hometown then
C. it can cause many people’s common feeling at this time
D. Chinese people usually celebrate together on that day
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A. This film was based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Guo Fan.
