Later in 1996, another milestone Comrades: Almost a Love Story came into being. Chans latest film, American Dreams in China is a carefully-calculated film with an eye toward opening the mainland cinema market. American Dreams in China is a film purely for Chinese audiences, but how it plays there remains to be seen. It sends the right messages, but whether thats enough to make it a hit is everyones guess. Mainland audiences arent quite that easy to “speak” to. The film began during the period of economic reforms in China in the 1980s. The bookish farm boy Cheng Dongqing (Huang Xiaoming), the ambitious and confident boy Meng Xiaojun (Deng Chao) and the poetic Wang Yang(Tong Dawei), were three friends at university in Beijing and preparing for American visa interviews. Wang was the first to be granted the visa but he gave it up for his western girlfriend, and Cheng was repeatedly denied. Only Meng actually got a study visa. As he was leaving, he told his friends that he wouldnt come back. Several years later, Cheng and Wang built a successful school, New Dream, from the ashes of Chengs misfortune(his girlfriend got a visa too, and Cheng lost his university teaching job) and Wangs ability to connect with students often through Hollywood movies. In America, Meng suffered a lot. Disappointed, he went home and joined his friends at New Dream. Later, the three friends relationship became worsened, but finally was improved under the weight of their common goals. 56.Which of the following films made Peter Chan a most influential director in Hong Kong?A. American Dreams in ChinaB. Comrades: Almost a Love StoryC. New DreamD. Hes a Woman, Shes a Man57.The underlined word “granted” (in paragraph 3) probably means “_”. A. preparedB. givenC. involved D. permitted 58.When the three men made preparations for American visa interviews, how many was/were offered a visa?A. NoneB. One.C. Three.D. Two59.What led Cheng and Wang to start a business? A. The connection with Hollywood movies. B. The weight of their common goals.C. Chengs misfortune and Wangs ability.D. Mengs disappointment and sufferings. BDear XXX,As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.First, I want to tell you how proud we are. You have become a talented and accomplished young woman. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. You often question “what good is this course”. I encourage you to be inquisitive (好问), but I also want to tell you: “Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten.” What I mean by that is the material taught isnt as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. Do your best in classes, but dont let pressure get to you. If you graduate and learn something in your four years, we would feel happy. Your Columbia degree will take you far, even if you dont graduate with honors. So please dont give yourself pressure. The only thing that matters is that you learned. The only measurement you should use is that you tried. Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family. Also, going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding (结合的) experience. Pick a few friends and become really close to them pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. Dont worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. If you think you like someone, tell her. You have very little to lose. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust). College is the four years where you have:the greatest amount of free timethe first chance to be independentthe most flexibility to changethe lowest risk for making mistakesSo please treasure your college years make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be. Love, XXX60. What is the most probable relationship between the writer and the receiver of the letter?A. Friends.B. A parent and his or her daughter. C. A teacher and a student. D. Sisters. 61. Which of the following suggestions is not given to the receiver in the letter?A. How to adapt to the college life quickly.B. To make new friends.C. To learn to be independent in thinking. D. Not to make herself under much pressure in grades.62. According to the writer of the letter, college is a time _.A. during which one may make mistakes B. during which one has little free time C. during which it is hard for one to change D. during which one needs to learn to be independentC7 ways a government shutdown will affect your daily life(CNN) - Democrats and Republicans were unable to resolve (解决) their differences over Obamacare (奥巴马医改计划）and now the government is shut down. The two previous shutdowns 1995 and early 1996 cost the country $1.4 billion. But what will the shutdown mean for you? Here are 7 ways the government shutdown will affect you.7. Vacation all I ever wanted: Need to get away? Well, you cant. At least not to national parks. Or to national zoos. Or to national museums. Theyll be closed. Were you thinking more along the lines of a trip to France? If you dont already have a passport, you might not get your blue book in time. The last time the government shut down, 200,000 applications for passports went unprocessed. 6. If you drive a car, Ill tax the street: You may be thinking, “No functioning government, no need to pay taxes.” Think again. The Man would continue to collect taxes. U.S. bonds would still be issued. And other essential banking functions will go on.5. Wait a minute, Mr. Postman: You know that whole “Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night” thing? Apparently, the U.S. Postal Service works through shutdowns as well. Sorry, you wont catch a break from the junk mail.4. I want a new drug: Oh, the irony (讽刺的). Republicans still want to defund, delay or otherwise withdraw gradually at Obamacare in exchange for funding the government. But the health care act at the center of this storm would continue its process during a shutdown. That is because its funds arent dependent on the congressional budget (预算) process.3. Pass the ammunition (军火): Not so fast. A shutdown would affect the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Translation: That gun permit you wanted processed wont happen anytime soon if this goes on for a while.2. Money (thats what I want): Well, if you owned a small business and needed a loan from the government, you would have to wait, depending on how long this lasts. If you were planning to buy a house and needed a federal loan, you would have to wait.1. Im proud to be an American: Perhaps the biggest hit would be to the collective psyche (下意识心理). America is the largest economy in the world and a beacon for how democracy ought to work. A recent CNN Research Corporation found that 51% would blame Republicans for the shutdown. The United States has operated without a budget since 2009 and has avoided a government shutdown with last-minute deals. Not only did the government run out of money on Tuesday, but the nation is set to hit its borrowing limit and potentially default on its debt in mid-October. Together, they serve as a double whammy (打击）.63. Which is the most probably meaning of the underlined word? A. Raise some money.B. Take the money back. C. Borrow some money.D. went on a strike.64. When the governments shut down, what can the Americans do? A. Apply for a gun permit. B. Apply for a new passport. C. Apply for a loan. D. Pay taxes. 65. How many times has the American government ever shut down so far? A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times.D. Not mentioned.66. According to the essay, what led to the shutdown of the American government? A. The government of America ran out of money. B. The government of America is on debts. C. America is set to hit the borrowing limit of its debts. D. The American government ran out of money and may fail in repaying its debts.DI live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent
