A
Movies to Enjoy
“Eating Animals”
The 2018 documentary “Eating Animals ”，based on the book by Jonathan Safran Foer published in 2009, tells
us that factory farming is bad, and that most Americans don't realize just how bad. Still, this isn't a feel-guilty film.
There
’
s plenty of hope as director Christopher Quinn shows farmers who are still using practices that do not, for
example , force chickens to live their short lives in a dark building while covered in their own poop（大便）. Will
the film cause you to go vegan（素食者）？ Eh, burgers are really tasty. But it will make you think about what it is
that you're putting in your mouth and maybe inspire you to head for the farmers' market to see what a chicken that
lived a happy life tastes like.

“The Last Tightrope Dancer in Annenia
Sometimes it's fun to see what everyone else has been seeing. It helps with dinner party conversation.
Sometimes, though, it's fun to see something really different. “The Last Tightrope Dancer in Armenia” is a 2009
documentary about the only two surviving performers of Armenian tightrope dancing, 76 and 77 at the time of the
film, and their desperate efforts to pass on the traditional art form to the only student of tightrope dancing left in the
land, a 16-year-old orphan(MJL) boy.

After my girlfriend, Liz, and I had dated for about a year, and a few years before we got married, she joined me,
my parents and my sister's family on a ski trip in Stowe, Vermont. I was in my late 30s
,
it was the first family
vacation I'd been on in years, and it was the first such holiday Liz had ever taken with my relatives.
But a ski vacation is only as good as the ski conditions, and that January was spring-like. To make matters worse,
our rented cabin was close to the ski hills but far from anything else. There was no Internet, and the only
entertainment was a few board games and a single television.
For a couple of days, while we waited for the snow to fall, we watched endless hours of CNN (mom's choice)
and SpongeBob SquarePants (my six-year-old niece's), played Scrabble and drank. Cabin fever set in quickly. At
one point, my mom literally fought my niece for the remote control, even sitting on her to wrest it from her hands.
My brother-in-law was downing a bottle of port and a bottle of white wine nightly. Amazed, but also alarmed, Liz
confronted me in our bedroom： “What is wrong with your family?” I remember well her crazed laughter as she
said it.
Then it snowed, but only at the top of the mountain—a very tall and fearsome peak. We scrambled, drove to the
lift, and took it up. But as we climbed higher into quiet, dense cloud, Liz began to look unusual. When I asked her
what was wrong, she revealed that she had only ever been on a bunny hill. When she said that, she took hold of my
arm tightly. “A bunny hill!” The lift let us off at the summit of a double- black-diamond ski run in the middle of a
snowstorm.
My family, with nary a look back, disappeared down the hill. Liz got off the lift, just barely, and then, two falls
later, took off her skis and promptly got back on the lift, taking it back down to the lodge and the relative safety of a
large glass of wine.
Did I say it was her fist vacation with my family? It was also her last.
24. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was the first time for Liz to attend the family vacation.
B. The ski conditions were very good when they reached Stowe.
C. Maybe it was a bit warm in that January.
D. The author's mother abused his niece for a remote control.
25. What's the meaning of the sentence underlined in the third paragraph?
A. Someone got a high fever in the cabin in no time.
B. They felt bored and restless for staying in the cabin.
C. They made the cabin warm enough.
D. The life in the cabin was alive and interesting.
4

26. Why did Liz look unusual when they climbed higher to go skiing?
A. Because she was too excited to ski.
B. Because the peak was too fearsome for her.
C. Because the author's family didn't care for her.
D. Because she felt nervous and frightened.
27. What can we infer from the article?
A. The author's brother-in-law was fed up with the wine.
B. Liz's skiing experience was limited.
C. Liz went down to the hill without trying skiing.
D. The author and Liz broke up after that family vacation.
C
Many people think of narcissism （自恋）as a kind of personality traits （特质）， usually with a derogatory
（贬义的）sense , but it can also be a confident positive attitude. Some studies, published in 2004 in the journal
Personality Processes and Individual Differences, looked at some benefits of narcissism. Hundreds of people
participated. Results showed that narcissists tended to be less depressed, lonely and anxious, and reported greater
well-being than people who scored low on narcissism. High narcissists may be socially unconcerned, but that is no
reason for them not to be psychologically healthy. To use a far-fetched （牵强的）metaphor, the mind of a narcissist
is like an SUV. It is great to be in the driving seat, but other drivers must be careful not to hit it.
A 2010 study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences,

found that female college
students who were slightly narcissistic were less worried about having their bodies on view while exercising in
public spaces than students who weren't narcissistic.
A 2012 study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, showed that narcissism
was more beneficial to younger people. For the study, 368 college students and 439 of their family members filled
out surveys on narcissism, life satisfaction, and personality traits. “Our findings suggest that the link between
narcissism and life satisfaction is greater for adolescents and young adults than for adults,” the authors wrote.
Specifically, participants who were younger than 26 and displayed certain types of narcissism reported higher life
satisfaction and well-being.
Narcissists tend to make great first impressions, but those positive impressions change quickly. Two studies
published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology, found that narcissistic college students were at first
treated as agreeable and well-adjusted by their peers, but interestingly, after a few weeks, those impressions became
more negative: Narcissists were treated as less agreeable and well adjusted than other students.
Leaders are often narcissists according to some studies, because to lead a company, you have to be confident in
your decision-making skills. These decisions also need to be smart and creative, especially in our current world
where there are a million different companies producing a million different ideas. A good leader with somewhat
narcissistic tendencies can help his company or organization stand out from the crowd.
28. According to the passage, narcissistic people can sometimes be ___________ .
A. more willing to drive an SUV
B. more willing to be alone than other people
C. physically healthier than other people
D. psychologically healthier than other people
5

29. During exercise female narcissistic college students might __________ .
A. worry about their figures
B. care about other students' figures
C. not attend sports activities
D. not care what other students think
30. According to the 2012 study, the narcissistic adolescents and young adults tend to
A. be more satisfied with life than their less narcissistic peers
B. be more difficult for their peers to get along with
C. have bad relationships with family members
D. have less chance to get life satisfaction than adults
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Narcissism is seen as an important element of a healthy mind.
B. Proper narcissism is good for personal development.
C. Proper narcissism seems to protect against social anxiety.
D. Narcissism makes people less dependent on relationships with others.

Hollywood superheroes are muscling in on the Indian box office, the world's biggest by tickets sold, helping US
studios encroach（进入）on Bollywood（宝莱坞）'s local dominance.
Fourth- quarter ticket sales for US films in India were up 114 per cent on a year earlier while Bollywood's box
office take rose only 34 per cent, according to brokerage Emkay.
American films have long struggled to make a splash in India, where Mumbai- based Bollywood and other
regional film industries pump out more than 1,000 films a year. But the rise of franchises （特许经营）such as Walt
Disney-owned Marvel's Avengers or Warner Bros subsidiary DC's Batman has ushered in a boom in audiences for
big-budget Hollywood productions.
Hollywood films took 10 per cent of India's box office in 2018, up from just 3 per cent a decade earlier,
according to EY
’
s most recent figures. That share is expected to have risen in 2019 thanks to Avengers: End game
,

among the country's highest-ever grossing films. “Hollywood is taking India very seriously because it's too big,”
said GV Giri, head of research at brokerage IIFL. There
’
s “a greater eagerness of big franchises to lock up deals in
India and have more publicity, more campaigns. ”
India's young population, rising incomes and the spread of multiplex chains have encouraged US studios to
invest more in the market. Studios such as Paramount and Universal now dub their films not only into Hindi but to
other regional languages such as Tamil. Lionsgate, which is behind franchises such as The Hunger Games, has
followed US rivals in opening an office in India.
But industry analysts said that apart from superhero smashes and select animations such as Disney's Lion King
remake , other genres（风格）of American film still struggled. For drama and comedy, Indian audiences prefer local
productions with familiar stars and themes.
Despite the boom in ticket sales, incomes for Hollywood's biggest releases remain tiny in India compared with
the US or neighbouring China, where the latest Avengers instalment raked in roughly 10 times more.
The average ticket price at an Indian single-screen theatre in 2018 was $$ 0. 70, against almost $$ 10 in the US.
Tickets in China typically cost about $$ 5— $$ 6.
6

The larger opportunity for the US studios lies in using the popularity of their films for other areas of commerce
such as merchandise sales, according to Rakesh Jariwala, media and entertainment partner at EY in Mumbai.
Indian studios have also fought off encroaching Hollywood heavyweights with a flurry of their own epic
blockbusters. The 2017 sequel to the historical battle movie Baahubali, for example, became one of the highest
grossing Indian films of all time.
Given India's young population , Mr Giri expects the focus on action and special effects to pay off for both local
and international studios.
“When I was a kid I couldn't get more than one movie a decade on Superman ,

he said. “This would have been a
dream, today's kids have it all laid out for them. ”
32. Which country is the world's biggest box office by selling tickets according to the article?
A. The USA.
C. India.
33. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Bollywood's tickets sales increased more quickly than the Hollywood's in the fourth quarter.
B. All American heavyweights are welcome in Indian.
C. Merchandise sales are also a purpose of American films entering the Indian film market.
D. The incomes of the Hollywood occupy the most of the share of the Indian.
34. What did Indian studios do to beat back the Hollywood films?
A. They pump out more than 1,000 films a year.
B. They created their own epic blockbusters.
C. They added a lot of action and special effects in their films.
D. They sold the tickets at a low price.
35. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Hollywood blockbusters break into India
B. The most profitable film market
C. Fight off Hollywood blockbusters
D. Who wins, Hollywood or Bollywood

Education is a self-enlightening process. It is an important part of life.

doors to brilliant career opportunities. 38 We are weighed in the market on the basis of our educational skills and

no longer remain in confusion about the things we learn. It can lead us to enlightenment. It is education that builds in
every individual the confidence to make decisions, to face life and to accept success and failure.
For the progress of a nation, for the enrichment of society in general, education is necessary and important. A
