Calculators BThough war is something people hate, Director Feng Xiaogang often exposes his audience to it.“If we dont impress the audience, who are without the painful experience of war, with the cruel injury to life and human nature war causes, how can we bring them a love of peace and objection to war?” asked the director with anger in his eyes.After Red River Valley and Lovers Grief over the Yellow River, both of which star Chinese model and actress Ning Jing, Feng drew a satisfactory full stop to his war trilogy last month with Purple Sunset.The film tells a story which took place in 1945, at the very moment when World War II was drawing to and end. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier flee into a forest, where they seize a Japanese girl. They follow the girl in the hope that she will take them out of the forest, but instead they arrive in a Japanese base. Humanity prevents them from killing the young, innocent victim of Japanese militarism. This humanity, the longing for peace and eagerness to survive, make the three unite.“If people are touched by justice, tolerance arid unselfishness, I think I have achieved my goal,” Feng said.Feng admits that there are violent and bloody scenes in the film, such as tanks fighting and Japanese burning Chinese people alive, to show the cruelty of war. But thats never his personal preference, he says. “Everyone who has watched my films can tell how much I detest war, “he said, “I wrote all the things for my war films by myself. Whenever I finished one, I felt as though I had suffered great pain.”Feng regards every one of his productions as an opportunity to learn about human nature and humanity. In spite of violent scenes which frighten and sicken the audience, a balance is sought with beautiful scenery. Just like the snowy mountains in Red River Valley and the grand plateau in Lovers Grief over the Yellow River, a beautiful vast grassland appears in this film. “I used to study art and I appreciate beautiful things,” Feng said. “I believe that films should offer the audience a chance to enjoy beauty.”60. Director Feng Xiaogang shot war film because_.A. he was deeply interested in such a topicB. he wanted to give the audience the painful experience of warC. he hoped to arouse peoples love of peace and objection to warD. he dreamed of becoming a world-famous director61. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier seized a Japanese girl so that_.A. they could find the Japanese base easilyB. she could take them out of the forestC. they could kill her for revengeD. it would cause the Japanese militarism to give in62.Scenes of Japanese burning Chinese people alive in the film are to _.A. show that war is cruel B. attract peoples interestC. show Fengs personal preference and interestD. make the film moving and interesting63.The underlined word “detest” in this passage refers to _.A. hate B. like C. flee D. know aboutCOver 70 percent of the double single-child couples in China need help from their parents in taking care of their own kids, according to a recent survey.Women of China magazine and a consulting company carried out a survey recently on young couples of the single-child generation, the Morning Post reports. The couples surveyed were around 29 and have been married for three years on average, with university education and monthly income of 4.000 yuan ($531). Among them, 43.5 percent have kids.Results show that 71.9 percent of the young couples have help from their parents in taking care of their kids.Grown up as the single-child, the only child in a family since the family planning policy was adopted in 1979, this generation depends much on their parents.The parents of the single-child generation focused more on their childrens physical well-being rather than their attitudes and values, according to some psychologists. The research also found that the double single-child couples follow a rather traditional value system.Survey shows that 27.5 percent of them got married after dating for one to two years, 25.2 percent two to five years, and 20 percent didnt tie the knot until dating for five years. Also, 30 percent of the couples were schoolmates, while 43.8 percent were introduced by someone.Since their marriage are based on enduring relationships, 65.2 percent of the husbands and 62.9 percent of the wives think that compromise(妥协)and tolerance(宽容)are necessary in their marriage. Meanwhile, 21.7 percent of the husbands and 37.1 percent of the wives support the idea that happiness is the key standard for a marriage.64.The best title for the passage should be_.A. Mom and Dad, Take Care of My Kid Please B. Double Single-child CouplesC. The Problem of the Single Child D. A Recent Survey By Woman of China65.Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?A. The majority of the double single-child couples in China depend much on their parents.B.

But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more. Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. Its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And thats why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear. When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite? Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters
