2 . The weather has been getting warmer in April but for most cinemas a cold wind is still blowing, partly due to the pandemic but also because of the growing popularity of online video platforms.

For many moviegoers in China, it’s not surprising to see cinemas closing as there have been signs for some time of difficulties in the industry.

In March, the movie box office in China was only 913 million yuan ( $143 million ), a decrease of 63.5 percent compared to the year before. At the same time, due to the lack of supply of new movies, the operating rate of cinemas continued to decline, and more than half of the theaters nationwide were closed for a short time.

As well as the epidemic, the rise of online video platforms in the past three years has also put pressure on cinemas. The quality of the product and the fact that new movies are directly available online has seen society gradually adapting to the streaming media model.

iQIYI has released a total of 33 movies since 2021.Other video platforms are also pushing for more movie rights for the audience. For 26-year-old Zixian, she hasn’t gone to the cinema for over three years since COVID-19 began at the end of 2019. For her, the expensive movie tickets and low expectations for new movies have kept her away from the cinema.

However, many industry insiders and moviegoers still believe that cinemas are a symbol within society and that their fortunes will revive as long as there are enough viewers and fans of cinema. Meanwhile, business insiders also believe there is still hope for the future of cinemas.

Xiao Fuqiu, a film critic based in Shanghai, told the Global Times on Monday that “ compared with media giants like Netflix, HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video, I don’t think the Chinese online streaming platforms have caused a threat to the survival and development of cinemas. Instead, I think the two platforms are complementary (互补的) to each other. ”

C．Lack of attractive actors or actress.

B．Negative.

C．Indifferent.

D．Neutral.

3. Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?

A．Life style.

B．Fashion.

C．Film review.

D．Culture.

3 . On social networks like Facebook and MySpace, adults and teens share the same forums(论坛)to connect and keep in touch with friends, classmates, relatives, and co-workers. Chances are, your teen has already found his/her teachers on Facebook and sent friend requests to join their networks.

But is it appropriate for your child to “friend” a teacher on a social network? Terrence Jegaraj, a senior at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, mainly adds former teachers or instructors from summer programs in which he has participated. “I am friends on Facebook with a current teacher of mine, but there are teachers who tell us specifically not to add them until we graduate, ” says Jegaraj.

Many of the teachers we asked, in fact, were not so willing to add students on Facebook. While a teacher can use some networking sites, such as Twitter, to extend a classroom discussion or offer quick homework assistance, networks like Facebook and MySpace easily blur(使模糊)the student-teacher relationship because of the personal information made available online.

“I think that students and teachers have different images in the classroom than outside of it, and the two should not necessarily be mixed, ”says Heather Steed, a recent graduate of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Fla. As a student herself, Steed never added instructors on a social network until she completed their class.

“There needs to be a certain distance between teachers and students in order to maintain(保持)respect, ” adds Rabbi Avi Schwartz, an educator at Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn, N. Y. “A teacher needs to be a role model, mentor, and advice giver --- not a ‘friend’. ” When a high school student gains access into a teacher’s network of friends and acquaintances and is able to view their family photos, the student-teacher relationship is changed.

1. What do Terrence Jegaraj’s words suggest?

A．He holds the same opinion as Heather Steed.

B．He likes to make friends with teachers online.

C．He is too young to make friends with teachers.

D．He has made friends with many teachers before graduation.

2. According to the passage, why do some teachers use some social networks such as Twitter?

A．To prepare for a presentation.

B．To receive information from students.

C．To check students’ personal information.

D．To help students learn outside the classroom.

3. What does the text mainly talk about?

A．Whether teachers should be friends with students online.

B．When teachers should make friends with students online.

C．What is the proper relationship between teachers and students.

D．Whether teachers should be role models for or friends with students.

5 . When kids enjoy an activity, they want to do more of it. Practicing a skill improves their abilities and helps them feel confident, especially when the effort is noticed and praised. Toddlers and preschoolers should play actively several times a day. Children from 6 to 17 years of age should do 60 minutes or more of physical activity daily. This can include free play at home and P.E. at school.

Preschoolers need play and exercise that help them continue to develop important motor skills — kicking or throwing a ball, playing tag or riding a bike with training wheels. Although some sports leagues may be open to kids as young as 4, organized team sports are not recommended until they’re a little older. Preschoolers can’t understand complex rules and often lack the attention span and skills needed to play sports. Instead of playing on a team, they can work on fundamental skills.

With school-age kids spending more time in front of screens, the challenge for parents is to get them to find physical activity they enjoy. This can range from traditional sports like baseball and basketball to biking, hiking, and playing outside. As kids get older, differences in ability and personality become more apparent. That is why it’s important to find an activity that’s right for your children.

Teens have many choices when it comes to being active — from school sports to after-school interests. It’s a good idea to have an exercise plan. Do what you can to make it easy for your teens to exercise by providing transportation and the necessary equipment (including workout clothes). In some cases, the right clothes and shoes might help a shy teen feel comfortable biking or going to the gym.

In addition to a child’s age, it’s important to consider his or her fitness personality. Meanwhile, be active yourself and support your kids’ interests. If you start this early enough, they’ll come to regard the activity as a normal and fun part of your family’s everyday routine.

8 . Food waste is a growing problem both in America and across the globe. In North America alone about 30-40% of food ends up as rubbish each year. While much ends up as rubbish, over 48 million Americans live in households that do not have enough food! Now, concerned citizens are trying to raise awareness of the issue with some creative ideas.

In New York’s Westchester County, students at 18 schools join in a program called We Future Cycle. Started by Anna and Ashley in 2014, it teaches kids to recycle, compost (堆肥), and most importantly control food waste in an easy and efficient manner.

Lunch areas at those schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins— compost, recycle and share. While the first two are common in schools, the third is rare. This is the bin where kids can put their unwanted drinks, fruits, and even untouched sandwiches. Food there is available for any student that wants them. Whatever remains at the end of the day is given to the local soup kitchen or food bank. Anna says the three bins have helped reduce the number of trash bags produced at the mid-day meal from an average of 22 to just 2!

To ensure kids form similar habits at home, the non-profit has created plans to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling, composting, and food to donate. They also urge parents to have open conversations with their kids about food choices.

Kids are not the only ones that waste food. Adults are equally bad, if not worse! To fight that, Brooklyn-based Josh founded Salvage Super Club in 2014. The randomly organized dinners promise customers a multi-course meal for merely 50 dollars per person. The delicious food is made from perfectly safe ingredients (成分)   that are past their prime and, therefore, headed for the compost or trash bin.

9 . In the past, people could only find information from books and their teachers. For serious students, it was dream to hear lectures from professors at top universities. The Internet has changed this situation completely. Online courses offer people around the world access to global resources.

On November 2, the Ministry of Education announced that, as of August 2019, about 270 million Chinese people had taken Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) — one of the platforms for distance education. “It means high-quality, low-cost and large-scale online learning has become the norm.

Subjects range from physics and chemistry to Chinese traditional culture. “The wide variety of courses they offer is like a buffet, where you can pick whatever interests you, and that's why I use MOOCs very often,” said Wang Kerui, a freshman at Beijing Normal University.
