A
As a child,Marta was surprisingly creative,painting pictures before she received any formal training.At age 8,she informed me she planned to become a film?maker and stuck to that until,at 17,she and I decided that instead of taking a course in film,she should be apprenticed(当学徒) to a brilliant sound editor.Bruce Nyznik,and his talented associates such as Peter Tilley,with whom I was then working.
Marta's love of trains led to the creation of her first film,Train of Thought,in 1991.After that transition from sound to film,she continued to direct and produce,as well as edit.Her works include Shattered Dreams,a 2006 documentary about a disadvantaged youth in Toronto;The Saviour of Ceylon,a film about the heroism of RCAF officer Leonard Birchall;and the seven?part television series Being 80 with Jean Vanier.
Marta was diagnosed with cancer nine years before her death.She saw her cancer as something to be grateful for because it made her concentrate her attention on lasting spiritual realities,rather than the temporary passions that define most of our lives and most of the time.
Marta had worked as an editor and director on more than 30 films with Jean Vanier,the founder of L'Arche,an international organization that assists the developmentally handicapped.So she came to her great trial with some hope that her physical pain could promote spiritual growth.She had had little contact with formal religious practice,so what changed her was having to find the meaning of the cancer that threatened her life.
In her final year or so,she began to write about her experience with cancer and the enlightenment(启发)that came with it.She meant to give purpose to her life by helping others.Above all,she wanted her friends and family to share the help she was able to give.
In a conversation shortly before Marta's death,I expressed some discouragement in my life,and she advised me to concentrate on something for which I was grateful.

B.to remind her family of her serious illness
C.to provide help for others

4.What do you think of Marta in the passage?
A.Hard?working. B.Inspiring.
C.Humorous. D.Stubborn.

If you never read the classic F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby,now is your chance to catch up—by watching the latest film adaptation.Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film,it would be,as Fox News says in its review,“It's just like the book.”
Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was“either to find a visual equivalent(相等物)for Fitzgerald's elegant essay—the open secret of the book's staying power—or to bend the material to his own exotic(异国的)strengths,”a Time magazine review says.He tries it both ways,with varying degrees of success.
Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work,The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism,resistance to change,social change,and excess,creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.
Nick,the narrator,moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy.His next?door neighbor is Jay Gatsby(Leonardo DiCaprio), who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War.Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University, but the evidence is suspect.As Nick learns more about Gatsby, every detail about him seems questionable, except his love for Daisy.Though Daisy is married, Gatsby still adores her as his“golden girl”.They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working?class military officer.Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war.However,she married Tom, a classmate of Nick.Having obtained a great fortune,Gatsby sets out to win her back again.
“All of Fitzgerald's original creation finds its way into this film,even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue,”US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review.“The cast is beautiful as is the script,and the scenes are a visual feast,”Taroli adds.
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm.“He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen.”David Denby,a film critic for The New Yorker,says in his review.
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film.“Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original,”the Fox News review says.
For example,in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film,the first party scene,Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself,while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue(composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924)is played in the background.
8.What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success?
A.He adapted the story in the novel as he wished.
B.He made the film more powerful than the book.
C.He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay.
D.He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film.
9.What is Taroli's attitude towards the film?
A.Favorable. B.Sceptical.
C.Amazed. D.Unconcerned.
10.What are the characteristics of Gatsby?
A.Faithful and warm?hearted.
B.Charming and professional.
C.Selfish and stubborn.
D.Mysterious and devoted.
11.Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph?
A.Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby.
B.Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well.
C.Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music.
D.Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director.

There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English.But are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary.There are hundreds of everyday words that are different.For example, Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats.There are far more examples than we can talk about here.Fortunately, most Americans and Brits can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence.
Past Tense Verbs
You'll also find some differences with past forms of irregular verbs.The past tense of “learn” in American English is “learned”.British English has the option of “learned” or “learnt”.The same rule applies to “dreamed” and “dreamt”, “burned” and “burnt”, and “leaned” and “leant”.Americans tend to use the?ed ending; Brits tend to use the?t ending.
Spelling
There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American English.Noah Webster, an author, politician and teacher, made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s.
Webster wanted to spell words the way they sounded.You can see Webster's legacy(遗产) in the American spelling of words like color (from colour), honor (from honour), and labor(from labour).
Not So Different After All
British and American English have far more similarities than differences.With the exception of some regional dialects, most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty.They watch each other's TV shows, sing each other's songs and read each other's books.They even make fun of each others' accents.
12.Which of the following is a group of American words?
A.Vacation; holiday. B.Apartment; flat.
C.Vacation; apartment. D.Holiday; flat.
13.The underlined word “option” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by .
A.choice B.change
C.structure D.use
14.What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph?
A.They both have some strange words.
B.They are affecting people using them.
C.They connect people of the two countries.
D.Their differences have little effect on communication.
15.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Ways to Tell British English from American English
B.Differences between British and American English
C.Development of British and American English
D.Difficulty for Brits and Americans to Understand Each Other

Making Short Videos
“A picture is worth a thousand words or so”, they say.Well, motion (运动) pictures can contain even more memories. 1 Here are some apps you can use to make your own short videos.
Qupeiyin.cn
Reciting lines from movies is an effective and classic way to learn English.So what if you could dub(配音) recordings accompanied by movie clips(剪辑) and then share them with friends? 2 You name it.By contributing your voice, you can either mimic(模仿) the original soundtrack or create something completely new of your own.
Shorts
3 With the help of the Shorts app, you can make pictures in your album into a slide show.Choose from any of the off?the?shelf themes—“holiday”, “travel”, “friendship” and “party” for example—each matched with its own theme music and slide background.But if you're not satisfied with the combinations, feel free to do a little change by adding text to the pictures or replacing the music with something in your own playlist.
Viva Video
Video making and editing once seemed awfully hard. 4 But this app will ease you into the field with straight?forward functions and clear direction to help you “create your own video story”.Apart from filter, stickers and text, the coolest part of this app is that you can write the narratives yourself and add your own voice to the video. 5 Viva Video requires a relatively powerful phone to run smoothly.
A.But here is a little reminder.
B.This app has movies, cartoons, lectures, TV series.
C.These apps have a variety of identifications (识别).
D.That's why short videos are becoming popular.
E.Videos and pictures aren't only for separate purposes.
F.Newbies (网络新手) and amateurs didn't dare to even give it a try.
G.Video making and editing is what Apple fans want to try.

If there was one thing you could make parents understand about kids,what would it be? That is one of the questions TFK and KidsHealth.org recently asked in an anonymous(匿名的) survey conducted online.More than 8,000 kids answered.“We just want to spend time with you.” said a 12?year?old child.“At 13,you can't treat me like I'm 6.”another kid said.An 11?year?old child wrote,“Being a kid is a lot harder than it looks.” The kids who took our survey made it clear that they want to feel close to the important people in their life—their mum,dad and other caring adults.But their answers also show that it is not always easy to deal with these close relationships.
Many kids—two out of three—said they get along pretty well or very well with their parents.About four out of five kids told us that they have fun with their parents.But that doesn't mean they never disagree.In fact,most kids reported arguing with their parents,at least sometimes.“It's absolutely normal to disagree and argue,” says D'Arey Lyness,a child psychologist.“But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully.” About half of the kids said they are doing that.When they disagree with their parents,they say they discuss issues calmly.
But two out of five kids said arguments tend to involve yelling at each other.Lyness points out that shouting never helps.“Speak up,and let your parents know your ideas and your opinions,” she advises.“But be patient.Don't use a raised,angry voice.”
Kids made it clear that they would rather avoid conflict altogether.Not surprisingly,three out of four kids admitted lying at times.Many said they lie to avoid getting in trouble or disappointing their parents.According to Lyness,lying isn't just wrong.It can actually get negative results.Telling the truth builds trust.“When parents can trust you,they are more likely
to give you more freedom and more privileges,” she says.
