Have you heard of the new movie Sister? What does it mean to be an elder sister? In the movie Sister, An Ran, played by Zhang Zifeng, was a 24-year-old nurse whose dream job was to be a doctor. Unluckily, her parents died in a car accident on a cloudy afternoon and left behind her little brother. An Ran faced a choice between going after her dream or raising her 6-year-old brother.
In the film，everything in her life made An Ran disappointed（失望的）and unhappy. Her father often beat her just because she was a girl. Her family always wanted to have a boy. In order to have a son, her parents lied to others that An Ran was disabled when she was a little girl. After her brother's birth, things got much worse. They even asked An Ran to study nursing instead of medicine at college so that she could start working sooner and support the family. Besides, after An Ran graduated from the college, she worked as a nurse in a local hospital. As a new nurse, she needed to stay up late on duty in hospital three or four times a week. She tried to solve different kinds of problems from the patients, but always got misunderstanding. With no working experience, she was also looked down upon by some doctors.
The film is a “calm and in-depth examination（深度审视） of China＇s son preference（重男轻女） problem”, China Daily said. Director Yin Ruoxin said the film showed the real pain that many women faced. “We've seen a lot of women around us experiencing such things,” Yin said,“ Why do people take it for granted（理所当然）that women should be the ones to sacrifice（牺牲）？”
The film has an open ending, leaving people to guess whether An Ran has decided to raise her brother or go after her dream. “We want An Ran to fly high, as well as learn to love.”Yin said.

Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn't happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you will be very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it may come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit's foot. Some people believe that rabbit's are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit's, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbits feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny saying goes,“ Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit!”
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year-they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole year of good luck!

Once upon a time, there lived a king who was neither happy nor satisfied. One day, the king met a servant who was singing while he worked. This surprised the king. Why did a poor servant have so much joy? Then he asked his most trusted advisor（顾问）.
The advisor said,“ Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club.” “The 99 Club? What is that?” the king asked.
The advisor replied, “To truly know what The 99 Club is, place 99 gold coins in a bag and leave the bag at the servant's doorstep.”
When the servant saw the bag and opened it, he let out a great shout of joy! So many gold coins!

Seeing this great change，the king was puzzled（迷惑）. The adviser said, “The servant has now joined The 99 Club.”
He continued,“ The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never satisfied. They are always working hard for the one coin they haven't got. They keep telling themselves: Let me get that one final thing, and then I'll be happy for life. What's more, people in the club often have to pay the price for their growing needs and desires. They lose their sleep, their happiness; they even hurt people around.”

Playing is serious business for children. In fact, it's what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will
probably say, "Because it's fun!" But it's much more than that. It's also good for them.
Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get to know their
new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby's sense of sight(视觉) .
When small children choose which toy to play with , they begin developing their abilities in making decisions. Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That's because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be. Crayons, paints and Play-Doh(彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to create. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.
Playing doesn't become any less important once children start school. Many valuable(有价值的) lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to communicate, learn from others and keep themselves safe when playing.

My name is Peter. I come from a small village, close to London. I've been crazy about Chinese history and culture. So I learned Putonghua in the university and I am good at speaking it.
Three years ago, I came to China. I am an English teacher in a middle school in Chongqing, a city in the southwest. Now I get used to the life here except one thing-the language，the Chongqing dialect（方言）.
When I talk with older people, they prefer to speak the Chongqing dialect, which is different from Putonghua. Putonghua has only four tones（语调）while there are five in the Chongqing dialect.
Besides, some sounds of the words are really confusing （令人困惑的）.The “h” sound in the middle of words is not pronounced. For example," shuo", which I learned in the university becomes “suo" with no “h" sound. You can't imagine how difficult it is to use numbers because "four" and “ten" sound exactly the same. Even people from other parts of China feel it difficult to understand the Chongqing dialect when hearing it.
I made a lot of mistakes when communicating with Chongqing people here. However hard it is, I am already on the way to becoming a native speaker, speaking like a local of Chongqing.
65.Does Peter come from England?

67.Tones and sounds./Pronunciation and intonation.
68.Yes, I think so. Because if you want to know more about the local culture, you have to know the local language well./No, I don't think so. Peter can speak Mandarin well. It's enough for him to live here by speaking both Putonghua and English.（答案合理即可）

Once there was a farmer who owned a farm near the ocean. It was difficult for him to do all the farm work alone. So he wanted to hire(雇佣) someone for help. But most people didn't want to work on farms there because of the awful storms across the ocean.
One day, a middle-aged man called Robby came for an interview. On his way to the farm, he met a man who carried a heavy box, and he seemed very tired. So Robby just stopped and gave a hand. The man tried to pay for that, but Robby refused and said it was no big deal.

Tea-bag drinking is most Westerners' favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?
The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try, which made it taste better. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. And after drinking, they just needed to throw the tea bag. So, they were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose（散的）tea again.
Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze （薄纱） and later paper． In 1952，Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.
However, some people still prefer loose leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still their best choice.
