Teachers spend countless years trying to make history come alive for their students. However, US Director Shawn Levy tries to do this on film in the recently released (发行) Night at the Museum. The film is adapted from Milan Trenc"s book of the same name. It brings to life a world where dinosaurs wander the earth, a former president rides again, warlike early Asians return, and cowboys and Roman soldiers seek to bring back their old goals. The familiar comedy star Ben Stiller acts as a luckless dreamer named Larry Daley. He takes a position(职 位) as night watchman at the New York Museum of Natural History. On Larry"s first night, he"s left alone by the three aging guards he"s replacing. They fail to inform him of the museum"s rather unusual nightlife. Soon Larry finds himself chased(追逐) down the hallways by the very lively skeleton(骨架, 骷髅) of a dinosaur, in the middle of a confrontation(交锋) with Asian warriors. He is caught in a battle between a cowboy and a Roman general and meets face-to-face with former US president Teddy Roosevelt, played by Robin Williams. They are each from an exhibit that has come to life through the magic of a priceless Egyptian tablet(药 片). While the film fails to develop very much in some areas (for example, Larry"s troubled relationship with a son), it does have enough special effects, and jokes to amuse the audience. Bottom Line: Definitely not Oscar-worthy, but a great way to relax during a holiday. |

Doodles are signs which you draw unconsciously (无意中) when you are holding a pen in your hand and just happen to start writing aimlessly. However, there is more to these"diagrams (图形) of the unconscious" than what you see. Free from the restriction (限制, 约束) of the conscious mind, they can be useful in finding your character and personality, and many of your secret hopes, ambitions, fears, and dreams. Faces are a sign of sociability or lack of it. If you doodle happy, smiling faces, you have a friendly, out-going disposition which people respond to, and you enjoy an active social life. If your faces are bad, this may mean hating others. Faces looking to the right are sign of outgoing personality and confident expectation about the future while to the left, a sign of shyness and self-control. Bare or narrow trees show a lack of warmth. You"ve probably been disappointed in life or could even be suffering from a minor illness that needs attention. If you build a house in layer(层), each layer separate, you could be too proud, too eager to make your loved ones follow your order and jump to attention. A little untidiness in a house makes the people feel comfortable, safe and happy. If your doodle looks like a web, you are making a cry for help in solving a problem. You feel trapped, and are seeking a way out; perhaps you even want to travel, try out new ideas and realize your ambitions. But you lack confidence to step out into the World on your own because of the web you"ve created around you. |
1. One can probably have the wish to be _____ if he doodles a building with unconnected stores. |
A. a leader B. a self-controlled person C. a shy person D. a lazy person |
2. If you doodle a face, you may do any of the following EXCEPT______. |
A. lead an active life B. be out-going C. dislike others D. live a rich life |
3. What does the underlined word"doodle" mean in Paragraph 2? |
A. To draw without realizing what one is drawing B. To draw carefully and attentively what one likes drawing C. To write different things without certain limits D. To write at home, mainly on the wall |
4. What is the possible best title of the passage? |
A. Don"t doodle, or you"ll not be able to keep secret B. Recognize yourself with the help of doodles C. Doodling, an unpopular habit D. Doodling may cause untidiness |

In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters (恶魔).The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on.

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star."I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses," she says."I used to wear them to watch TV." Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as "Klieg eyes". It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights.

Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban"Aviator" sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban"Predator" sunglasses famous in Men in Black.

These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it"s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail. The ant-works first Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don"t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks (股票) with low risk. The cricket (蟋蟀)-fun first The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn"t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance (保 险). The snail (蜗牛)- lives under pressure The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans (贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully. | 1. One"s values may__________. | A. be his ways of managing money B. be his beliefs about society C. determine his family and education D. influence his behavior | 2. Mr. Smith always enjoys spending a weekend with his friends, fishing, hunting and playing cards. Moreover, he spends money in a very luxurious way. So, _____. | A. Mr. Smith belongs to the ant type B. Mr. Smith belongs to the cricket type C. Mr. Smith belongs to the snail type D. it"s hard to tell which kind of person Mr. Smith is | 3. The writer of the passage seems to be in favor of(支持) _______. | A. the ant B. the cricket C. the snail D. both B and C |
