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
3.According to the passage, we know that ______
A. Chinese sci-fi movie are the same as Hollywood-style space films
B. The Wandering Earth tells us a story about a superhero.
C. The writer loves The Wandering Earth because it’s an interesting Chinese movie
D. The Wandering Earth expresses the spirit of Chinese people.

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.
B. This film tells us each of us should return to our hometown when we grow old.
C. We should protect the Earth because it is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun.
D. The director of this film thinks Chinese sci-fi should have our cultural and spiritual core.

In students' daily talks, celebrities are usually a hot topic, including their dress, behavior, families and other personal things. Then, is it a celebrity job to be a good role model? Please read the following students' debate.
Is it a celebrity’s job to be a good role model?
It's a celebrity job to be a good role model because people usually look up to stars. If a celebrity drinks and smokes, his fans will follow him because they look up to the celebrity so much. If a celebrity's lifestyle is inappropriate for kids, then their parents should be more careful about what they let their kids see.
I think everyone should try to be a good role model, even if you are not a celebrity! You can still be a role model to your sisters and brothers a younger neighbor, or anyone. But I be very good because they are role models for so many people !
A celebrity doesn't have to try to be a good role model. They are famous because they worked hard at what they love for a living. They should, however, try to make good choices for themselves, not their fans. Lots of stars have to post apology letters after being caught doing bad things. It's good, but if the only reason they do is to win back their fans, it's not good
Although it is a wonderful thing to be a good role model, that's not what the celebrities must do. They are famous because they love what they do and are good at it. Being a role model is never in the job. If the celebrity knows they are affecting the young people, they should try hard to set a good example.
