Fun film facts
Two of the most famous silent films ever made were the French science fiction film A Trip to the Moon (1902) and the American film The Great Train Robbery (1903). The silent film that made the most money ever was The Birth of a Nation (1915), which was produced and directed by D. W. Griffith. It made $10,000,000.
Auguste Lumière and his brother made the first film shown in public. However, they didn't believe that films would become very popular. Auguste said, 'Cinema...has no commercial (商业) future!' 25% of the money by a film comes from ticket sales, 46% from DVD sales, and 29% from television.

Lucy: I am a fifteen-year-old girl. Denmark is my country. A flag is flown (飘) outside a window to show that someone who lives in that house is having a birthday. Parents put the presents around the child's bed while they are sleeping so they will see them at once when they wake up.
Tom: I am as old as Linda. I am from Brazil. The birthday child gets a pull on the earlobe (拉耳垂) for each year in my country. The birthday person also gives the first piece of cake to his or her most special friend or relative (亲戚), usually mom or dad.

In Britain, Australia, Canada and a few other English-speaking countries, people don't stop celebrating when Christmas Day is over. they also celebrate the following day, known as Boxing Day.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take the UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books of special price, much lower than usual in any bookshop. It has been done every year since 1998.
Reading can benefit (有益于) people in many ways. Reading helps us follow the latest developments of science and technology. Reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. The more we read, the more we know. The more we know, the smarter we become.

We all know that it is difficult to learn everything in the classroom, for example, the ways English people are speaking and writing. Reading helps us. "Reading makes a full man." Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of reading materials can help to know more about the outside world and perfect us.
Therefore, it is necessary for us to form the habit of reading every day.
