In fact, it is not the only movie about Ma Liang. In 1954 the Shanghai Animation Film Studio produced the movie called Ma Liang and His Magic Brush, and in 1955 the studio produced another movie called Magic Brush.The story is a folklore story. In a village, there lived a boy called Ma Liang. His family was so poor that he could not go to school. However, he loved painting. One day, he got a brush. The brush had magical powerif he drew something with it, the picture would become a real one. This information reached a local office (官员). He put Ma Liang into prison (监狱) and confiscated his brush. The officer asked Ma Liang to draw a golden mountain. Ma Liang agreed, but he also drew a big sea around the golden mountain. After the officer sailed across the sea, Ma Liang waved his brush and the officer fell into the sea.45 . There are two movies about Ma Liang mentioned in the passage.46 . Ma Liang studied at an art school.47 . Ma Liang drew something with his magical brush, and it could become a real one.48 . The underlined word “confiscated” means “购买” in Chinese.49 .

At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In turn, Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after two months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.Family life, too, was different. The fathers word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it .At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. I suppose I should criticize American schools he says, It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.Differences between American school life and German school lifeComparisons50 . studentsGerman studentsschool lifeThey dont have to stand up when their teacher comes into the classroomThey have six subjects which are very51 . to learn.They take part in many other activities besides studyThey have to stand up and show52 . to their teacher when he enters the roomThey have 14 subjects which are much more53 . .They have to 54 . hard all the time.Family lifeThey do their own things individually.They can go to meet friends in a car and55 . themselves.They have to listen to their56 . .They have to57 . all the way.All the activities shouldnt be done 58 .

Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins (来源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt. You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from field to plate, is called food miles. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmers field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer (消费者). Why is this, and what are the effects (影响) of these long distances?Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didnt have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modem technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.Some countries have to import (进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.Whats wrong with food miles? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global (全球的) warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.60 . What is a food mile?_61 . Where could the consumers buy the food traditionally?_62 . Why do some countries have to import most of their food?_63 . What are disadvantages of food miles?_64 . What is the passage mainly about?_七、多任务混合问题As Bill walked by the market one day, he saw a man selling a bird in a cage. Bill bought it, took it home, and let the bird go free.
