It's hard to go anywhere these days without seeing people staring at their smart-phones, but one place that still asks you to turn them off is the cinema. But even this may be about to change. In _______interview with Variety, Adam Aron, CEO of one of the _______cinema chains in the world, AMC, said the company is considering allowing phones to be used in its US theaters.

Aron said the plan was to draw more millennials into cinemas as a way of _______the industry's number of audience. "When you tell 22-year-olds to turn off the phone so as not to ruin the movie, they hear please cut off your left arm above the elbow. You _______tell 22-year-olds to turn off their cellphones. That's not _______they live their lives," he said.

"We need to reshape our product in some concrete ways so that millennials go to movie theaters with the same degree of intensity _______baby boomers went to movie theaters throughout their lives."

Aron admits that _______the idea may attract some people, not everyone is going to appreciate having the glare of multiple smart-phone screens disturbing their cinema experience.

"We're going to have to figure out a way to do it that doesn't disturb today's audience, because today's moviegoers don't want anybody sitting next to _______texting or having their phone _______. But there are ads up there saying turn off your phone."

Aron did offer one possible solution that could potentially benefit everyone. He ________designating certain auditoriums as 'texting friendly,' ________would hopefully mean that those who     can't bear to go without checking their phone ________few minutes can watch a movie in one screening room while everyone else can use ________.

Whether we do ever see 'texting screens' appearing in any of AMC's cinemas remains to ________. So far, the idea hasn't been very well received, with most people saying, rightly, that keeping a phone ________during a movie isn't a difficult task.

It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you _______, you suddenly feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a second. Could it just be a _______cold or the flu that's been going around?

A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it's usually easy to_______with. Some take medicine such as aspirin (阿司匹林)_______others try home treatments like herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.

The flu on the other hand can be much more_______. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can be deadly. The worst flu, the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918 to 1919, killed about 50 million people, according to The Atlantic.

Don't worry. Getting a flu vaccine (流感疫苗) can_______you from the virus. Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes our body to develop antibodies （抗体). _______next time you get the flu, the antibodies can help protect you.

Unfortunately, the flu virus_______every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can't protect us against all types of flu. That's_______we need to get the vaccine every year.

However, good health________may also help to prevent a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps protect you from viruses. Getting regular exercise and eating healthy food is also important. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (免疫系统).

On Jan 26, people around the world were shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Kobe Bryant, one of the NBA's most legendary(传奇性的) players. The 41-year-old, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant and seven others died when their helicopter crashed in California, US.

People from all walks of life have paid tribute(敬意) to the late basketball superstar-not just for his achievements on the court, but for his genuine(真诚的) personality and the inspiration(激励) he provided to so many people.

In the basketball world, Bryant ranks among the top players of all time. Fans remember him as the player who helped the Los Angeles Lakers win five NBA championships during his 20-year-long career. He started out as a basketball prodigy(神童) who skipped college and took his talents directly to the NBA. His deadly agility(敏捷) and aggressive tactics(进攻性的策略) earned him the nickname Black Mamba(进攻性极强的一种非洲毒蛇) . That's why his competitive philosophy(哲学) is known as the “Mamba Mentality”.

“Mamba Mentality is you're going, you're competing, you're not worried about the end result,” Bryant said. “It's all about focusing on the process and trusting in the hard work when it matters most.”

Off the court, he was known as a successful businessman, buying stakes in several companies, including Alibaba and Dell. He also left footprints in the movie industry, winning an Oscar in 2018 with his short film Dear Basketball.

He was also known as a proud family man. His friend, baseball star Derek Jeter, remembered him as such in an essay: “Throughout our friendship, the most meaningful conversations we had—they were always about family.”

As the Los Angeles Times noted, Bryant's greatness was cemented(强化) by his skill, hard work and tireless pursuit of victory. His legacy will live on long after his death.

What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination? Right. A pen.

Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.

Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.

In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.

The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.

Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.

Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.

I woke up with drool (口水) on my pillow this morning. I wouldn't have minded except it wasn't mine. The alarm clock rang, and I reached over to turn it off. As I laid my face back down on the pillow, I felt the wet, slimy (黏滑的) drool on my pillow case. I opened my eyes and saw a smiling, panting (喘气的), furry face gazing down at me. I tried to get up, but she was too fast. My face was suddenly covered in kisses with one going straight up my nose and another right in my ear. I laughed, reached out and picked up the eight-pound love machine and held her away from my dripping (湿透的) face. It was just another morning in a life with dogs.

Why do we welcome them into our homes and our hearts? We know that we are most likely going to outlive them and have our hearts broken when they age quickly and pass away after ten to fifteen years. We know that there will be vet (兽医) bills, flea baths and enough fur to make a vacuum cleaner cry. We know that our ears will ring from the barking, that we will be picking up poop (大便) every single day and that we will never get to finish a full sandwich again.

Yet, when we are feeling down or blue, there will always be a soft head on our lap needing to be pet. When we get home after a long day's work, there will be a happy face at the door waiting for us. Our lives will be full of balls to throw, bellies to scratch, and love and loyalty that will warm our hearts and uplift our souls.

For thousands of years, dogs have been our best friends. They remain one of the greatest gifts life has ever given us. Even if they can't love us for the rest of our lives, they will always love us for all of theirs.

You may be able to care for your physical health by wearing a mask, washing your hands, and doing regular exercise during the coronavirus epidemic, but how do you treat your mental health? Millions of people are facing fear, anxiety and depression as lockdowns, transportation bans and quarantines (隔离期) continue.

As part of the government's "first level response", the National Health Commission said more than 300 hotlines are now available throughout China. Callers can talk with counseling (咨询) services and people from university psychology departments, Reuters reported. Depending on your location, you can call one of these 24-hour hotlines for psychological support and general advice if you're experiencing anxiety, depression or panic attacks — no matter whether you're a patient, medical worker or just someone stuck at home.

A survey conducted by the Chinese Psychology Society found that of the 18,000 people tested for coronavirus-related anxiety, 42.6 percent were anxious, according to NBC News.

"A stable state of mind can help reduce impatience and anxiety, which is helpful for treatment. Providing psychological counseling and appropriate medicine, psychiatry (心理治疗) can play an important role in the battle against the epidemic," said Chen Jun, an expert from the Shanghai Mental Health Center, on CCTV.

A healthy mind supports a healthy body. Stress weakens the immune system, according to the American Psychological Association. Managing stress may help people fight off a virus.

In addition to hotlines, online platforms and social media have also offered support to those dealing with the mental pressure of worrying about the virus. One virus-related hashtag (话题), which translates as "how to deal with feeling very anxious at home," has been viewed by hundreds of millions of Sina Weibo users.

Universities have set up support groups on QQ, while thousands of doctors provide counseling for users on JD.com. KnowYourself, a public WeChat account, hopes to reduce panic attacks to frontline medical workers, patients and their families.

"People are scared, their lives are being interrupted, so to have a voice that helps to comfort them and calm them and kind of guide them through this process can be very helpful," Paul Yin, a psychologist in Beijing, said.

Keeping a positive mindset is key during this difficult time. Remember to keep things in perspective and maintain social networks with your family and friends. Treat your mind well, and your body will follow.

Films are everywhere.     46    . Many young people like to go to the cinema, and the new film is often an important social event. There are film festivals in many big cities and some schools have their own film clubs.

    47    . They often tell an exciting or fantastic story and they can keep young people a lot of pleasure.    48    . So they are useful if you don't have time to read a very long book.

Sometimes they are also important to help young people learn new information. Films can help us understand the culture of our society or of another country's society.     49    .

However, some people are not film fans. Films sometimes show blood or fighting, or the people in them use bad words.     50    .Other people feel that reading more books would be better for students because it will help them think more clearly and improve their imagination.
