I sometimes find that watching a film adaptation (改編) of a book helps me to understand a book. This is especially true for books from a different period or with a difficult dialect (方言).

My favourite examples of these include Pride and Prejudice, which is also my favourite book, and Trainspotting, which is written in Scottish dialect.

Film and TV adaptations of books also mean that books reach a wider audience(觀眾). If people really like the film, they will be encouraged to read the book. As for language learning, watching film or TV adaptations of books can help to provide an understanding of a story. They also help to give a story a more modern adaptation. For example, Oliver is a good adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. The language in the book can be enough to make a native speaker moved, but the adaptation means that everyone can enjoy the story of the orphan Oliver.

Similarly, the 1996 film Romeo and Juliet, an adaptation of the Shakespeare play of the same name, makes those of us who haven’t studied Shakespeare still enjoy his play in a more interesting and understandable way.

Of course, there are limitations (局限) and not every story that is translated onto the screen is liked by fans of the book, or even the writer. For example, as a writer, P. L. Travers hated Disney’s adaptation of her own book Mary Poppins, but it’s now a well-loved film. For me, I dislike the adaptation of Still Alice by Lisa Genova and her group. They changed the location from Boston to New York for no real reason, which for some readers changes the whole feel of the book.

Anyway, adaptations are a great way to introduce yourself to the story and characters of a book before reading it. They’re also a good way for people who may not feel confident enough to read a whole novel in a different language, but still want to know the story.

【1】Is Pride and Prejudice the writer’s favourite book?

【2】What will people do if they really like the film?

【3】Who hated the adaptation of her own book?

【4】Why does the writer dislike the adaptation of Still Alice?

【5】What’s the passage mainly about?

The story tells us the importance of people around us. For students, they can be role models.

In a study, I interviewed some students at Bingham High School. These teens have lots of opinions about role models.

Teens need role models to provide direction. Jeff Pratt said, “To have a role model helps you to decide where you want to go with your life.” A role model shows what a teen’s life could be like in the future. “Role models are people you admire, and those people that help make you a good person.” This is Spencer Park’s opinion of who role models are and why it is important to have them.

A role model is “someone to look at and try to learn good qualities from,” said Natalie Bean.

When teens were asked “What is a role model like?”, the list included words such as, encouraging, inspiring, strong-willed, honest, ready to stand up for what they believe in, helpful, easy to talk to, talented and cheerful. Teens want to learn from their role models how to succeed and also how to carry on after failure.

Robbie Jenkins said, “Good role models are people that stand up for what is right and good.

Role models encourage and inspire.” Heidi Woolley said, “A good role model makes a teen do the best in school and in life and make much progress. Then he will have a good opinion of his own abilities and accept himself gradually. In this way, role models help build up a teen’s self-esteem.”

“The role models teens need are not the ones that appear in the media,” said Natalie Bean.

My study also shows students are quick to agree on that a true role model is not the person with the best job title, the greatest responsibility, or the greatest fame(名望). Anyone who inspires a child to achieve dreams in life can be a right role model.

【1】The writer uses the story in Paragraph 1 to show that _______________.

A. People should have good habits.

B. People are influenced by others.

C. People are able to choose good neighbours.

D. People know how to choose a living place.

【2】What do students at Bingham High School probably agree?

A. Role models stand up for what is right and social.

B. Anyone can inspire a child to achieve dreams in life.

C. Having a role model decides where to go with your life.

D. A teen can learn good qualities from a good role model.

【3】What does the underlined word “self-esteem” mean?

A. Self-respect.B. Self-control.C. Self-praise.D. Self-support.

【4】What’s the writer’s main purpose in this passage?

A. To know what students’ role models do.

B. To tell how a teen learn from a role model.

C. To find out students’ ways to be a role model.

D. To share ideas of some teens about role models.

She easily becomes excited when talking about Chinese culture and classic(經(jīng)典的) literature. Relinque’s translation works include The Peony Pavilion(牡丹亭) by Tang Xianzu in the 16th century --- a romantic play about a love story, and The Orphan of Zhao --- a drama written in the 13th century similar to Hamlet, which are excellent classic works in Chinese culture.

When translating a famous Chinese novel which she liked a lot, she slept only six hours every day in six years because she spent lots of time reading materials about Chinese politics, history and society during that period of time.

After four years’ Chinese study in Peking University, she learnt that the University of Granada would open a department in Asian studies, so she moved to the city in south Spain in 1994 and has stayed there ever since.

She started the Chinese classical literature study in Spain, and therefore made the University of Granada a major place of sinology(漢學(xué)) in the country.

Given her excellent work in translating Chinese classic literature, Relinque was granted(授予) a special prize by the Chinese government in 2017.

“Spain should pay more attention to China, and on the other hand, I ask my students to study Chinese history because the country’s today and future lie in history,” said Relinque.

“That’s when we_______ the idea of creating an English website to help other foreigners.” On the opening day ---- March 1 in 2016, Baopals received 12_______ of 22 products which totaled about 1,360 yuan ($202) in sales.

There are many great works of art in museums, including some priceless pieces that can never be replaced. When we get a chance to enjoy them, we need to respect the art and other visitors. Here are several rules we should follow in museums.

Respect the space

Keep the museum space clean and throw away all rubbish.

Remember that large things are not allowed in museums. But we can put our coats? bags，backpacks, umbrellas, etc, into the storage (儲(chǔ)物柜) near the entrance,

No eating or drinking is allowed inside museums, Finish all food and drinks before entering the museum.

Respect the art

Don’t touch the art by hands, fingers, heads or any body part, though some people think a small touch won’t hurt a painting or other pieces of works. But imagine how those “touches” would add up in a museum with thousands or millions of visitors each year! And even the smallest hurt might be too difficult, or too expensive to fix. So remember the museums’ golden rule: No touching the art.

Respect other visitors

Show consideration by not blocking the view of others who are also there to enjoy the art.

Complete silence isn’t necessary, but keep as quiet as possible.

Most of these rules aim to protect the art. Following them can help make our museum experience safe and enjoyable.
