| Joey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others" interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he"s an ideal friend and a heroic character. Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg"s new film War Horse. It is based on Michael Morpurgo"s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play. The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that"s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine )after Albert"s drunk father Ted(Peter Mullan ) overpays for the animal at auction (拍卖会). Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe. Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astounding and impressive. And with Spielberg"s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians-Saving Private Ryan. While that film shocked with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes. Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not only Albert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane. Although none of this covers the fact that we"ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart. And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece - there will be tears. Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film " Saving Private Joey", is entirely justifiable. | |||
| 1. In common with " Saving Private Ryan", the film War Horse _________ . | |||
| A. is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killing B. received the title of Tony Awards Winning Play C. covers a lot of characters D. tells the story happening in the Second World War | |||
| 2. Which statement is true according to the passage? | |||
| A. War Horse is based on the same-titled novel by Steven Spielberg. B. Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people"s lives. C. Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe. D. Joey came to Albert"s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it. | |||
| 3. According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean? | |||
| A. astonishing B. confusing C. satisfying D. disappointing | |||
| 4. What is the best title for the passage? | |||
| A. Joey ? a heroic race horse B. Albert and Joey C. Saving Private Joey D. Spielberg"s Joey | |||

Later, dozens of newspaper wrote about this 11-year-old girl"s courage and honesty, even when it cost her the contest. 3 Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we would do if we knew we would never get caught.

| It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step. "Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow. "Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa." They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?" "Am I rich? Pity, no!" I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. | |||
| 1．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? | |||
| A．Lady, are you rich? B．A story of Thanksgiving Day C．Don"t forget how rich you are D．Does cups and saucers match well? | |||
| 2．The writer let the two children come in and served them well because________. | |||
| A．she wanted to sell old papers to them B．she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party C．she showed great pity and care on them D．she had the same experience as them in the past | |||
| 3．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? | |||
| A．The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy. B．The writer had thought she wasn"t rich because her supplies were not expensive. C．If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap. D．After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. | |||
