Stowaway is the story of a mission to Mars and a spaceship that has too many pasngers. With the journey planned for only a certain number of people, well, you can e where this is headed. This sci-fi movie directed by Joe Penna takes us on a journey we will be able to risk.
Robopocalyp
David H. Wilson, author of 2011’s Robopocalyp, has been compared to sci-fi writers like Michael Crichton and Robert A. Heinlein. The film tells the story of a robot named AIX in the near future. It has the face of a pure (纯真的) child, but its heart is not pure. One day, he took control of the global network and directed the machines and weapons (武器) made by human beings to fight against human
beings. Steven Spielberg was in charge of this film for years until it changed hands in 2017 to director Michael Bay.
Voyagers
The biggest problem with space travel is the long distance. In Voyagers, 30 men and women go on a multi-generational voyage in arch of a new home. The mission gradually gets into madness. The people don’t know if the real threat they face is what’s outside the ship or who they’re becoming inside it. The film’s director Neil Burger describes the film as Lord of the Flies for a new generation.georgetown

Jason and Henry have been “wagon (四轮车) pullers” since the cond day of kindergarten (幼儿园). They are very good at taking
turns pulling or pushing the wagon. Today, a pair of twins would join my class. I asked Jason if he cou ld be a “trainer” to train one of the twins, Bradley, to pull the wagon, if he didn’t cry in the mornin精彩电影
g so that he could be accepted by the other kids quickly.
Jason was so cute and said, “He isn’t very strong. How about if he’s a pusher, not a puller?”Ve ry great idea by Jason! The kids
took the job very riously, and they became clo friends in no time, which brought a comforting smile to my face. Jason is one of the youngest kids in my class but very kind, helpful and thoughtful!
Another student, Henry, took Nolan (Bradley’s twin) under his wing. We have our line leader and Henry is our “cond in command” who helps the line leader stay focud and in line. I had Nolan be “third in command” behind Henry. From that moment on, Henry took Nolan under his wing, guiding him patiently.

I study English literature at university and have always been proud of Britain’s literary heritage (文学遗产). Some British authors that you may have heard of are Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. The writers are famous all over the world becau their books have been translated into many different languages. In the UK, their novels are celebrated as some of the best that have ever been written. We say that the novels are “classic” becau they are still read and enjoyed years after their publication.
I read classic novels becau they are part of my university lessons but also becau I enjoy them.
They can teach you a lot about how people ud to live and what society was like in the past. Novels like Hard Times by Charles Dickens remind us of the poverty in London
during the Industrial Revolution while Jane Austen’s fiction shows us what family life was like in the 18th century.
Classic novels usually have memorable stories land interesting characters. One of my favourite books is Charles Dickens Great Expectations. It is about a boy called Pip who suddenly receives a
lot of money from a mysterious supporter. As he grows up, his character changes: he becomes quite lfish and mean. Another important character is Miss Havisham. When she was young, her fiancé ran away on their wedding day. She lives in a dark hou and still wears her wedding dress. She is a fascinating character, both sad and scary.
Reading classic novels enriches my knowledge and life experience. And it has become part of life.

In this modern age, most of us have forgotten to be patient and get angry very quickly over minor things like a traffic jam, a baby crying and such things. It often ems so easy to get what we want
right away that when we have to wait even a little while, it ems
like we are waiting for ages. We ud to be happy to wait 10 - 15 minutes it took to reheat food in the oven(烤箱)，but now we’re impatient when waiting two minutes it takes in the microwave.
With the convenience provided by modern society, is patience
still a virtue(美德) in the fast-paced world? To begin with, I'd like to share the meanin g of the word “patience”. Generally it means being able to tolerate delay without getting impatient. However, it
isn't necessarily a passive activity. It takes an active behavior, knowing when to take action and when not to.
So I would argue that patience is still -and always- a virtue. Sure, I ud to be one of tho who often stared at the microwave for the full two minutes it took to heat my food. And in the end， the food tasted bad. If I had had the patience to heat the food properly
in the oven, I would have enjoyed a delicious meal.
Actually the benefits of patience go beyond just heating up our food. Patience is an exerci in lf-control which shows that we can exerci good judgment. Lack of patience can cau us to make wrong decisions that negatively affect our health and happiness, waste our time, put us under a lot of stress and affect our relationships in a very negative way.
Everything in life happens for a reason. Sometimes we face an obstacle(障碍) becau we need to grow in ways we didn't realize.
It's not always obvious when that was happening, but with patience we will soon e clearly why it occurred and what we were meant to learn from it.
Taking time to think about our actions and being patient are a small price to pay when we determine the best possible solution to
any problems.
12. The author us the example of reheating food to show that_______.
manage
A．more people lack patience now B．high technology brings more benefits
C．people have no time to enjoy the meal D．the fast-paced life makes people stresd
13. What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．People under stress are more likely to get angry. B．Patient people are less likely to meet difficulties. C．People with lf-control are easier to succeed.
