He had completely run out of money, so he had no food to eat and had to spend the night in his car.This continued until one morning; he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks, he lied to the waiter. He told him that he lost his wallet.The waiter was also the owner. He walked behind the chair where the young man was sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill.He pretended that he found it on the floor. “S ir, you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn‟t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, bought ga soline（汽油）with the money left and continued his journey.On the way out of town, he realized, “Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn‟t embarrass me”. And then he made a promise to help others when he was able to.Now the man becomes old and lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands ofdollars.He is known as the “Secret Santa”, because at Christmas time each year, he gives money away to poor people.（）39.

It brings people as well as thinking.It was first shown during the Chinese New Year holidays. In the film, the leading character Liu Xuan (Deng Chao) falls in love with a mermaid Shanshan (Liu Yun). But in fact, in the beginning Shanshan from an ocean is sent by her people to kill Liu Xuan in order to stop his plan to endanger their survival. But as time goes by, Shanshan begins to love love Liu Xuan and finally saves his life. At the end of the story, Liu Xuan gives up his plan, rescues the mermaids in the ocean and marries Shanshan. They live happily together in the end. The main topic is not only true love but also about environmental protection.I‟m deeply impressed by one scene of dying mermaid lying on a beach, because it reminds me of a news photo of dead Syrian refugee taken several months ago. There are many more cruel scenes of mermaids being killed in the film that could make viewers angry.But I really admire and feel grateful to Chow for his contribution to raising awareness of environmental pollution and ecological destruction through a comedy film. I think Chow wants to teach us a lesson --- no matter how great people‟s dreams are, they should keep a good relationship with the ocean and life beyond the ocean. We should live in harmony with nature.（）47. The film began to show in cinemas ________.A. on a weekdayB. on a weekkendC. during the Spring FestivalD. at Christmas（）48. The film can bring people _________.A. dream and angerB. laughter and thinkingC. anger and thinkingD. laughter and dream（）49. The underlined word “viewers” means ______.A. passengersB. audiencesC.visitorsD. tourists（）50. You can probably read the passage ________.A. in an advertisementB. in a history bookC. on a blogD. in a novelDKid Presidents: True tales of Childhood from America‟s Presidents tells 20 stories of 20 different American presidents. In this book, we learn that America‟s leaders are not so different from us. They were once kids with ordinary problems, too. They struggled with schoolwoek, quarreled with brothers or sisters and had difficulty communicating with their parents. Dwight Eisenhower dealt with bullies（欺凌）. Bill Clinton struggled with his weight. Barack Obama moved to Indonesia with his mother when he was just a little boy, and he had to get used to a new culture.David Stabler tells interesting stories in a humorous way. He tells the unfamiliar stories of America‟s leaders, uncovering the jazz stars, lifesavers and goose-trainers among the presidents. You don‟t havet o be a fan of history to pick up this book. Those who enjoy reading about overcoming struggles, but still enjoy a laugh, would like this book. Of course, if you hope to become a leader of the world in the future, I suggest you should read this book from cover to cover. It is a fantastic book. It has everything you could ask for: It‟s educational, funny and even a littledramatic. Don‟t let the pictures in the book fool you.
