It’s so funny that you want to watch it again to write down the lines. I wouldn’t advise it for children under 13, though, because of some of the content and language. The main character, Derek Zoolander, is played by Ben Stiller. He is probably the best part of the movie because he is pretty much a “Model Idiot”. Chicago Based on the Broadway show, Chicago is a musical, but it is really different from other musicals. Many other musical films fail to create an easy-to-follow storyline or include actual acting. The actors in Chicago sing a number of great songs. They also create such wonderful and believable characters that almost anyone can enjoy this movie. The dancing is also excellent, and the singing and dancing are smartly added throughout. You are never tired of its much music, because there are no boring moments when you wish they would include a song. Flags of Our Fathers Three men in World War II, John “Doc” Bradley, Rene Gagnon, and Ira Hayes, have a famous picture taken of them while putting up an American flag after occupying (占领) a hill near a Japanese beach at the battle of Iwo Jima. What no one back home knows is that this is a replacement flag because the commander wanted to keep the actual flag. These three men were being sent home for putting up the replacement flag. Now they remember this when they are 80 years old. Night at the Museum Night at the Museum is a great movie, although nothing like I expected. Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Robin Williams all do good jobs with their roles. This movie is pretty different from others these actors have been in — the exhibitions at the American Museum of Natural History in New York come alive after hours. It is true that there is an adventure in this movie, so if you’re looking for action and humor, spend a “Night at the Museum”. 68. According to the passage, if you are only ten years old, you’d better not watch ______. A. Night at the Museum B. Zoolander C. Flags of Our FathersD. Chicago 69. What can we learn about Chicago from the passage? A. The music in the film is too much that you’ll feel tired of it. B. The film is the same as the other musical films. C. Singing and dancing play an important role in the film. D. There is only one song in the film but the dancing is good. 70. Which of the following is TRUE about Flags of Our Fathers? A. The three men took the photo about eighty years ago. B. The three men put up an American flag on a hill near a Japanese beach. C. The three men were sent home because they were hurt in a battle. D. The three men took the photo with an actual flag. 71. From the passage we can know that Ben Stiller acts in ______. A. Chicago and Zoolander B. Chicago and Night at the Museum C. Zoolander and Night at the Museum D. Flags of Our Fathers and Chicago E If you do something unusual, people will comment (评论)on it -- especially your family -- and most of them will have only negative things to say. However, the Native American tribe (部落), the Osage, had a saying that if you want a place in the sun, you' 11 have to leave the shade of the family tree. In the 16th century there was a young man named Tycho Brae. His parents sent him to a famous school to study law, but he wasn't interested in it. The love of his life was observational astronomy. The only problem was there was no such subject as observational astronomy. So he studied law during the day to keep his parents happy, but at night he went out and watched the movements of the stars and planets, and kept records of these observations. It was these records that eventually made a difference in the history of science, but his parents didn't like him wasting his time gazing at stars and they insisted that he concentrate on his law studies. They hired a tutor to keep him focused, but while his tutor slept, Tyeho Brae was out observing the stars. Had he obeyed his parents, history would have been different, but he followed his own star, and eventually found himself teaching others his methods and findings. Among his students was Jonas Kepler, who studied Tycho Brae's huge collection of recorded observations, and then, based on these, created the Three Laws of Planetary Motion, which brought into being an entirely new science: Physics. All of these came about because Tycho Brae followed those deep interests he had, against the wishes of his well-meaning parents. (责任编辑：admin) |
