【推荐1】Most Chinese filmgoers will be familiar with the name of Zhang Yimou, one of the country's most successful and internationally praised film directors. Films such as Raise the Red Lantern and Hero brought his films to the attention of the West, and succeeded in creating a new audience for Chinese cinema.

Born in 1951 , Zhang Yimou spent his youth working on farms and in factories, during which time he developed a love of photography. When the Beijing Film Academy reopened, Zhang Yimou became one of the first students. After graduation, his career as director of photography began.

In 1987 Zhang directed his first film, Red Sorghum, which was a great success. In 1992, Zhang's Raise the Red Lantern was nominated （提名）for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Filmgoers were fascinated by the extraordinary visual （视觉的） beauty of Zhang's films, and by the importance in his stories of his heroines.

In 2002, Zhang made Hero, a martial （武打）arts film set in ancient times but told in a completely different, modern style. Hero achieved great success in the West.

In 2004, Zhang made Houses of the Flying Dragons, another martial arts film, which Zhang described as being “ much more like a modern romantic story." in which the characters devote every other thing for love.

Perhaps one of the keys to Zhang's success as a filmmaker is the fact that his preparations for a film are so detailed. He has said before he starts a project he discusses everything in detail with every single person involved in the film. The result is that when filming starts, everyone understands what is wanted. One thing is certain - Zhang has many more years of successful filmmaking before him.

【推荐2】Theatre is a great activity to be a part of. It’s an excellent way to make friends, practice the art, show your talents, and explore your creative side. Here’s how to prepare yourself so that you can be your shining best.

Practice, practice, practice!

    1    To improve your practice, ask directors for pointers. While no show is perfect, with persistence (意志力), you can create a very satisfying end result.

    2    

When you are in bed, picture yourself on the stage having a great time. Go through your lines, songs, and dance moves, and picture them going perfectly. The key is to stay relaxed and create a positive image of yourself on the stage.

Don’t be nervous when you are on stage!

It will be dark where the audience is seated, and you won’t be able to see their faces. When you aren’t saying lines, take deep breaths.     3    Just have fun!

Remember to show expression.

Be proud of your performance and display the emotion that your character is feeling.     4    Keep in mind that you’re not only representing who you are as a performer, but also the rest of your cast and crew members and your directors as well! Smile (if you are supposed to) and have lots of fun!

Smile during the curtain call.

The curtain call is when the audience will take pictures, so wear a smile. Depending on the type of show, you might want to stay in character for a few extra seconds before you break out into a smile. Also, if you have one last song to sing at the end, sing it loud and proud.    5    

A．Just make sure the audience can’t tell.

B．This is when all of your hard work pays off.

C．Get good sleep for the last few nights before the performance.

D．Go over every aspect of the performance until you are satisfied.

E．It’s also polite to introduce your supporters to the other cast members.

F．Talk about exactly what you want to do on stage, and what you don’t want to do.

G．If you are performing an emotional scene, pull the audience into your tale so that it’s an enjoyable experience.

【推荐1】As the proverb goes，man struggles upwards；water flows downwards．Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans．But downhill isn't the only way that water moves．A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption．This flow isn't the type we usually think about．These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports．They call this a flow of “virtual water”．

We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap．However，92% of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra．He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats．These products are shipped around the world．

For example, consider a sugary soft drink．Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water-about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients. Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling．In Hoekstra's calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．

According to Hoekstra's new report, dry countries like Israel and Kuwait, both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries, like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom，also get the majority of their virtual water from other places．That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries．

【推荐2】It’s 13:30 and 28-year-old Marten Pella 's smart phone starts pinging, a signal that it’s time for us to stop working around his living room table and instead start our workout routine together. A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.

Pella, a research assistant at Stockholm University, is part of the Hoffice movement, which invites workers-freelancers（自由职业者）or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotely—to work at each other’s homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.

Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks, before taking short breaks together to exercise, or simply chatting over a coffee. In addition, each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival, and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.

“Often when I am alone, I can work focused for a couple of hours but then I’m easily distracted（分心）.The help of others makes me so much more disciplined.” says Pella, who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host. Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts. “People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,” he says.

The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen, now 37. He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective（集体的）intelligence, but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table. “I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,” he says.

Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere, because there’s a sense of community and desire to contribute. He’s looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice, by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.

1. Where is Pella when his smart phone starts pinging?

A．In his own home.	B．In his office.
C．In another person’s home.	D．At Stockholm University.

2. What do people attending Hoffice events do first when they meet?

A．Watch an exercise video.	B．Work silently for 45 minutes.
C．Tell each other their daily plans.	D．Report what they have achieved.

3. What does Franzen really mean by saying “friends in similar situations”?

A．They usually work alone.

B．They often give lectures.

C．They study collective intelligence.

D．They have to work at a kitchen table.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Sharing Comfortable Workplaces	B．A New Way to Make New Friends
C．Benefits of Collective Intelligence	D．Working from Others’ Homes
