Little Obama is the creation of Damien Dematra, an Indonesian writer and artist who has worked on the project since November when he was struck with the idea of writing about the time a young Obama lived in Jakarta with his mother and stepfather in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The film is based on a novel published in March Obama Anak Menteng, and focuses on the president’s childhood friendships in Indonesia.

The novel and the film are fictionalized(把……編成小說) accounts of the president’s time in Jakarta and are based on interviews with people who are childhood friends and neighbours of Mr. Obama. Many Indonesians share a deep pride about a man who spent part of his shaping years in the country and went on to become U.S. president.

The film star is a 14-year-old Hasan Faruq Ali, an American who has lived in Indonesia with his family for about 10 years. Like the president, he is the son of a white mother and a black father. Since filming began, he has been under the shine of media attention. “My whole life changed overnight,” he says.

The film, which was made on a budget of $1 million, won’t get its first public screening until Wednesday, but ads for the movie on YouTube have got a few thousand hits. It isn’t clear whether Little Obama will get a U.S. release(發(fā)行), but the film’s producer says he is in talks with a U.S. distributor(發(fā)行人).

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. 【1】 In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon, and have identified three different types of loneliness.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation-for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. 【2】

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the others, chronic (the opposite of "temporary")usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. 【3】 Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, for example, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more.【4】.

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons. They are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease. 【5】

A. It is very difficult to deal with.

B. What's more, temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars y there doesn't seem to be a dear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one yet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.

Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes unwilling to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education. 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there's reason to believe that interest in 8elf-driving cars is going up across the hoard, a person's age will have little to Ho with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.

【1】Which of the following can be the influence of a new technology, according to the passage?

A. It often reads to great inventions in other related fields.

B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.

C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.

D.It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.

【2】Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?

A. It helps with their moving.

B. It saves their money and energy.

C. It adds to the safety of their travel.

D. It makes their life more interesting

【3】What is likely to affect one's attitude toward the driverless car?

A. The length of their driving experience.

B. The amount of training they received.

C. The location of their living place.

D. The field of their special interest.

More than 87 million tickets were bough t for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80．The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.

Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.

But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized gambling. Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.

Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice, under the name of social progress. Whether you regard stock lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.

Shanghai is the world’s largest bikeshare city with 280,000 shared bikes citywide. That number is expected【5】(jump)to 500,000 by this June, according to Guo Jianrong, Secretary General of Shanghai Bicycle Association.

Bike sharing is hardly new, but what makes【8】 unique in China is that its usually station free---which means that users can leave the bikes anywhere they want. It’s also cheap.
