5 . Four Best Films for You

Dune

Now at last we have a big-screen Dune that may actually do justice to Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the film runs for 155 minutes and still only covers the first half of the book.

The French Dispatch

It’s the 10th film of Wes Anderson, a writer-director. In The French Dispatch, he takes his meticulous(一丝不苟的)style to new extremes, so barely does a frame go by that isn’t ornamented(雕琢)with a split screen. It tells three short stories set in the fictional French town of Ennui-sur-Blase, and supposedly drawn from the pages of a New Yorker-style magazine in the mid-20th Century.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Now that Marvel’s superheroes have saved the universe, their next job is obvious: they have to save the multiverse. In the third of the Spider-Man blockbusters starring Tom Holland, the teenage accidentally opens a portal (大门)to numerous parallel realities. “What people will be really surprised about is that it’s not fun, this film,” Holland told Total Film. “It’s dark and sad, and it’s going to be really affecting.”

Ron’s Gone Wrong

The first cartoon from a new British studio, Locksmith Animation, Ron’s Gone Wrong is a family comedy. The film’s co-writer and co-director, Sarah Smith, said, “In our movie, Barney ends up with Ron, a robot, who’s completely broken, who doesn’t agree with him and doesn’t know anything about him and they have to build this relationship from that point.”

9 . A hearty laugh means the same thing on every continent: joy.    1     when we laugh with someone else.

Scientists have found that people around the world can tell whether people are friends or strangers by listening to them laughing together. And the ability is globally owned by people.    2    . The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, used a simple experiment. Psychologist Gregory Bryant recorded pairs of college students having conversations. Some were friends.    3    . He then picked out just the parts in which the two people were laughing. Each cut was only about one second long. Then Bryant and his colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, first had volunteers listen to the records of laughter.    4    . They ran the experiment in 24 societies around the globe, including indigenous tribes (土著部落) in New Guinea, tiny villages in Peru and cities in India and China.

    5    . They were good at telling whether women were friends. But for other pairs — like two men laughing — it was harder. On average, listeners guessed correctly only about 60 percent of the time. Details about what laughter means require cross-cultural studies. Even in the most remote places on Earth, a laugh among friends is a special sound.

A．Laughter does good to you

B．Some hardly knew each other

C．People weren’t perfect at the task

D．But our laughter may reveal more than we realise

E．In other words, it isn’t limited by culture and language

F．So laugh a hearty laugh for at least three times every day
