It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. Its the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise its a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.Love Actually (2003)While this is not a personal favourite of silent film, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are difficult scenes, so I recommend watching a translated version or enabling subtitles（字幕）in your native language. However, the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.Home Alone (1990)This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While the families are away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year-old boy beat two grown men.Miracle on 34th Street (1994)You cant have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this movie. Its not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly moving. Its about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl. The storyline may seem a little childish but you can enjoy it at any age.21. What is Home Alone mainly about?A.An unsuccessful family vacation. B.A terrible suffering to a little boy.C.A boy protecting home by himself. D.A 10-year-old boys practical jokes.22.Which film is based on a fairy tale?A.Home Alone. B. The Grinch. C.Love Actually D. Miracle on 34th Street 23.Why is Miracle on 34th Street so popular?A.For its famous actors and actresses. B.Because of its funny story.C.Due to its childish storyline. D.Owing to its moving plots.B Whats the best thing to eat on a hot summer day? Many people would say ice cream. Yes, eating ice cream with some fruit on top is a great way to cool down. But think before you eat. If your body is hot from playing sports, its not the best time to eat ice cream.When your body is hot, a lot of ice cream may give your stomach some problems, and you could get diarrhoea（腹泻）. You can eat some ice cream after youve cooled down a bit and had some tea. Just try not to eat too much all at once!After dinner is another time people shouldnt eat or drink anything cold. Drink something hot after you eat, and your stomach will digest your food better. If you love fruit, summer is a great time for you.Go to the market and pick out the best fruit of the season. If you want to stay cool, oranges, bananas, pears and watermelon can help. Also, try to eat more ginger and gram. They will help you stay cool and healthy.In summer, bacteria（细菌）grow very fast and make your food go bad quickly. Try hard to keep yourself and your home clean in summer. Always eat clean, fresh food. When you feel like eating a cold dish, put vinegar in it to disinfect（消毒）it. If you cant finish your food and want to eat it again next day, make sure you heat it enough to kill the bacteria in it. And when you put food in the fridge, make sure to keep the cooked food away from the uncooked food.Stay healthy this summer, and enjoy a nice treat now and then. Whats inside your favorite snacks?24.
