(一) Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment. Have you heard of Bollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. 1 Yet Bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Bollywoods Oscars, turn 50 years old. The typical Bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 2 Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 3 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience dont mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all. 4 Behind the beautiful scenes, Bollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they cant just run away. They must win over their parents. Bollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 5 They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more colorful world, where its still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.ABollywood has gradually won its reputation on the world stage.BThere is never any mention of politics, poverty or war.CMost Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.DBollywood films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted incidental music.E.

(二)The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before.But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 1 Imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes.For anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 2 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 3 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.4 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. 5 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, dont ask such questions.A. Its natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to the persons face.C. Everyone was new to the network once.D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. (三)Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _1_. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide._2_ .The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube._3_.First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole._4_.Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily._5_.As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week. AWe use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other thingsin our daily lives. BThermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same waywhen they are heated or cooled. CNow that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work. DThe water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water willexpand and rise even higher. EThey label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees. FTake wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal把.粘住) them together. GPeople use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around theworld.
