【推荐1】If you want to know something about British life, their spirit, and even their humor, watching some classic British films will certainly help. Here are some recommended to you.
Notting Hill
After the success of his film Four Weddings and a Funeral, writer and producer Richard Curtis captured the essence of being British in 1999’s Notting Hill. Set against the background of affluent (富足的) West London, the film became popular for its charming and funny portrayal (刻画) of a British nobody trying to impress a Hollywood star.
The Full Monty
This 1997 film is a Sheffield-based comedy about six unemployed men who form a group to make money for a better life. Despite its humor, the film dives deeper into some serious issues surrounding working-class culture. The Full Monty is an uplifting film that gives an insight into the work and life of the working class in Britain.
Trainspotting
Danny Boyle’s 1996 comedy-drama Trainspotting is about a group of Scots in the 1980s, based on the book by Irvine Welsh. With a cast of truly great actors including Ewan McGregor, the tale impressed the audience globally. It rapidly became a critical success.
Monty Python’s Life of Brian
Featuring a jam-packed cast of comedic stars, Monty Python’s Life of Brian tells the story of a young man who is in a case of mistaken identity. The film reflects the unusual and wonderful British sense of humor. As a film guaranteed to entertain, Monty Python’s Life of Brian is not to be missed by those looking for an insight into what makes the British laugh.

【推荐2】The ebike has gained increasing popularity among people, even the King being spotted riding one. According to the market research company Mintel, sales of the ebikes have almost become three times more than the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly common, they are still undoubtedly expensive. You can pick up a perfectly sufficient push-bike for £300, but most ebikes cost nearly £2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike: Carbo Model X
Price: £2,799|Weight:13.3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oil y chain.
Most fashionable: Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from £2,995|Weight: 19 kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant push-bikes, which are hand-built in the city.This is its electric version. It’s a very smooth and functional option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Fashionable as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option: Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: £5,380|Weight:28.4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to de tail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality—if you can afford it. It is able to handle 25 kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
1. What is special about the Temples compared with other fashionable ebikes?A.Their weight is much lighter. | B.They are more functional. |
C.They are more comfortable. | D.Their service is more accessible. |
A.Carbo Model X. | B.Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX. |
C.Temple Cycles Classic. | D.The VanMoofs and the Cowboys. |
A.A feature story. | B.A consumer guide. |
C.A market research report. | D.An official document. |
