One night Mrs. Riley, an elderly woman, was walking along a dark London street. She was carrying her handbag in one hand and a plastic carrier bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two young men. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall with fair hair, the other was short and fat with a beard.

The two young men waited for a few moments, and then ran quickly and quietly towards Mrs. Riley. The tall one held her from behind while the other one tried to seize her handbag.

Suddenly Mrs. Riley threw the tall one over her shoulder. He crashed into the other one and they both landed on the ground. Without speaking, Mrs. Riley struck both of them on the head with her handbag and walked calmly away.

Hayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻動(dòng)畫), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced his retirement on September 6, after the recent release of his new film The Wind Rises.

Miyazaki’s vision(視野) has remained unique throughout his many films over the past thirty years. The worlds he creates—the valley of the wind, the castle in the sky, and so many—are so special, so attractive. Here are some key words about his films.

Good and evil (邪惡) Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he creates tend to be complex (復(fù)雜的) and unclear. The bad figures often don’t seem so bad once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good and evil is because he sees the 21st century as complex time, in which old ideas need to be re-examined, even in children’s films.

Children The heroes in Miyazaki’s films are usually children or teens, more often young girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.

Sky and water Two of Miyazaki’s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related ways. Flight is a forever theme—Miyazaki has never done a film without flying of some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束縛) from setting him free. Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes the unexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.

Peace Miyazaki’s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki’s heroes are often peacemakers.

1. What can we know about good and evil from Miyazaki’s films?

A. The complex time tends to turn good into evil.

B. He uses his films to show good finally defeats evil.

C. The figures cannot be simply judged as good or evil.

D. Children should learn to clearly tell good from evil.

2.Miyazaki’s love for flight may come from ______.

A. the relation between sky and water

B. his hate for gravity since his childhood

C. his desire to be free from gravity

D. his love for water that can flood the world

3.In Miyazaki’s films we may NOT see ______.

A. the attractive castle in the sky

B. a world left in ruins in the end

C. objects magically floating on the water

D. children with the problems of growing up

4.The purpose of writing the article is to ______.

A. show the writer’s sadness for Miyazaki’s retirement from the animation industry

B. help readers to know about Miyazaki’s life and his great achievements

C. praise Miyazaki’s contribution to the development of the film industry

D. introduce Miyazaki’s retirement and the features (特點(diǎn)) of his animation films

The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its finding on the safety of cloned animals.

The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult animals are safe to eat. They called them “as safe to eat as the food we eat every day.” And when those clones reproduce sexually(有性繁殖), the agency says, their offspring(后代)are safe to eat as well.

The United States this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. First，however，the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents. The agency says it must receive comments by April 2nd. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago，but an advisory committee called for more research.

For now，the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they do not sell foods from cloned animals.

Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce. The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.

Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public know little about cloning. Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so­called donor animal is grown into an embryo(胚胎)in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus(子宮)of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches its full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.

1. From the passage, we know ________.

A. the US government is very cautious about the safety of cloned foods

B. foods from cloned animals are popular in America

C. cloned animals will be easy to produce

D. most foods from cloning are expected to come from clones themselves

2.Who believes that foods from cloning are safe to eat?

A. Most Americans. B. An advisory committee.

C. Critics. D. The F.D.A. .

3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.

A. cloning has much in common with genetic engineering

B. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy

C. the donor animal should be a female one

D. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones

4. Whether the sale of cloned foods is allowed in the US depends on ________.

A. cloning technology

B. the advisory committee’s research

C. public comments

D. the documents of the F.D.A.

Traveling to Cuba as an American is like jumping through hoops(環(huán))．To help you better prepare for your trip，here are what you need to know about traveling to Cuba．

You wilI need to obtain a visa to travel to Cuba．You’11 need to apply for the visa associated with your travel purposes，such as religious or medical travel，family visits，or people-to-people travel，which is the most common type of visa attained by Americans．

Because of the U．S．restriction，banks have not yet been able to establish a foothold in Cuba，meaning it’s a cash—focused country．You can exchange currency at the José Martí International Airport or at your hotel．Keep in mind that there is a 10 percent fee to exchange U．S．currency for Cuban currency．You’11 also want to be sure to carry change for tips．

If you expect to find the blue waters，volcanic landscapes and beautiful villages of other nearby islands，you’11 be disappointed．But beauty is not hard to find here．Old Havana—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is home to splendid architecture and a bit of paladars(privately owned res—taurants)．Limited economic opportunities have led Cubans to be creative in other ways．You can’t go two blocks without coming across street paintings，art studios and joyful ballet music．
