Films

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

It’s supposedly based on a true story, which stars Jennifer Carpenter as Emily Rose, a country girl who goes away to college and then becomes possessed by the devil. The inspiration for the film came from the story of Anneliese Michel, a supposedly possessed woman who died from starvation after a series of unsuccessful exorcism attempts in 1976.

Children of the Corn

Has that thing ever happened to you where you go on a road trip and stop for gas and realize that you lose your direction off the beaten path and people start looking at you like you’re from the moon? The instance always reminds you of this movie. Walk far into the wilderness and it’s all just Children of the Corn territory.

The Ring

Some people prefer the original Japanese version of this film to the 2002 remake starring Naomi Watts, so if you have time, watch both, but if you don’t, start here. There was a really exciting period in the early 2000s when the film industry made some exciting changes to the usual format of horror movies. This movie helped introduce a transition from monster films to a more psychological approach that relies on expectations more than in-your-face jump scares.

It Follows

This is a movie that’s super fun to approach not knowing much about it, because if you hadn’t already known the fact that it’s a scary movie, you’d be surprised by how things develop as you’re experiencing it for the first time. There are a lot of scares in It Follows that catch you by surprise, which makes it feel refreshing, fun, and horrifying at the same time.

1.Who is Jennifer Carpenter?

A. A woman who died from starvation

B. An actress who acted Emily Rose

C. A girl who was possessed by the devil

D. The author who wrote The Exorcism of Emily Rose

2.If you lose your way near a gas station, you are most likely to think of the film_______.

A. The Exorcism of Emily Rose

B. Children of the Corn

C. The Ring

D. It Follows

3.What special contribution did The Ring make?

A. It introduced fun and horrifying experiences at the same time.

B. It introduced in-your-face jump scares

C. It created a new style of horror movies

D. It was adapted into many Japanese films.

4.How may you feel when watching It Follows?

It’s a common phenomenon that modern people now have difficulty sleeping. Drinking milk is thought to be helpful. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax. Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

1.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_________.

A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious

C. were less active D. sleep longer

2.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?

A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times

B. It can make people more energetic

C. It exists in milk in great amount

D. It’s used in sleeping drugs

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Night Milk and Sleep

B. Milk and Melatonin

C. Little Fat in Milk

D. Milk Drinking and Health

4.How does the author support the theme of the text?

A. By giving examples B. By stating arguments

C. By explaining statistical data D. By providing research results

A Kickstarter launched Friday will allow interested parties to set up a camera and pet toys in their home for anyone to play with their pets remotely. It’s called the ipet Companion, an Internet-connected camera and device that streams video online and allows basic commands from people watching. They can move the camera, look at their pet and press a button to swing a toy around.

Obviously, demand is strong. The Kickstarter proved so popular that Scott Harris, iPet Companion’s founder, said that thousands of people started asking for it.

The reason why people keep talking about this is the emotional(情感的) connection they have from a thousand miles away. If you want, you can enter a queue to move the camera and play with the pets. Each room has toys that are hooked(鉤住) into Internet-connected devices, and you can move them by pressing a button.

But there’s sort of a problem: Pets get bored easily. Young pets will stay more interested than adult pets, but finally even a baby pet will get bored, too. To stop that from happening, you’d better limit the pets’ access(接近) to the boys and change the place where they’re located in the room.

Harris understands this and said you can plug anything into that adapter(適配器) ---toys that you can get on your own. And that’s where the iPet Companion really gets interesting. Harris explained that the device is actually sort of a Trojan horse to bring the “Internet of things” to more homes. You don’t really have to use it for pets. The adapter could be used for any device with an electrical plug---a sprinkler, say, that you’d be able to activate to water your grass.

“Our whole goal, our whole purpose is to let anyone control any physical object that they want to while they travel anywhere in the woorld,” Harris said.

1.What does the underlined word “remotely” in Paragragh 1 probably mean?

A. far away.

B. For free.

C. With pity.

D. Out of control.

2.Many people are interested in iPet Companion because______________.

A. it can be used to kill time

B. it is easy to control online

C. it can meet all of their demands

D. they can show their love for faraway pets by using it

3.Why do the pets stop playing the toys soon?

A. Pets are not clever enough to play the toys.

B. They don’t receive rewards from the games.

C. Toys are played with too often at the same place.

D. Adult pets prevent young ones from playing the games.

4.What can we infer from what Scott Harris said?

A. iPet Companion is only a kind of toy.

B. Kickstarter can be used in many other ways.

C. iPet Companion can actually be turned into a toy horse.

D. iPet Companion can look after pets while their owners are away.
