TWENTY-FIVEyears ago director Stephen Spielberg captured the hearts of Westen audiences with his family classic , E.T Now his Hong Kong dirctor Stephen Chow in trying to do the same trick in China,
Chow’s latest movie CJ7(《长江七号》)，in cinemas now,is a heart-warming story about a poor migrant worker(外来务工者) and his son . When a strange alien enters their lives, father and son learn a lesson about the value of family , Chow hopes his movie will help to make family films more popular in China.
Family films have been the main part of the Hollywood market for the last 40 years , They have given audiences movies like ET. Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park, However, there are few of these movies in China , where expensive history films are more popular.
A family film is not simply a children’s movie , It is a film that is not only suitable for children,but appeals to the whole family.
According to Raymound Zhou , a famous film critic, these films are rare in China because “very few families go to the cinema together’. Because of this , there is little demand for movise that appeal to the whole family,
However , in the West, it is common for the family to sit down and watch a movie together, Tim Bridges, from London, says :”I love it at Christmas when I sit down and watch a movie with my family.”
All family films contain similar messages about honest、remaining positive and learning there is more to life than money. According to the American movie reviewer, Dave Johnson, this is because “When parents watch a movie ,they wnt theier children to be learning good values”.
Just like when the alien in Spielberg’s E.T. phoens home to make contact with his family Chow will hope Chinese audiences are tuned in and ready to receive his family movie message.

Pango was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂）and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers ________.

The physical education office of Peking University announced on Aug 27 that the university would build a golf course near Weiming Lake. Golf would thus become an elective course for Peking University's students in the near future.
Peking University's eastern sports ground will be rebuilt into two soccer fields and one golf course. The latter will be designed as 90 meters long and 40 meters wide, occupying only a quarter of the whole sports ground.
The director of the physical education office revealed that a student would make only one stroke on the ground, and one class session would hold no more than 30 students.
Some teachers suspect such an activity will be a waste of university's limited land resources, but the director thinks otherwise, for the place can also be used for such sports as javelin or discus throw.

Experts estimate that one out of every five fish sold was caught illegally. It threatens(威胁) food security and hurts the environment. Officials are using new observational technology to fight illegal fishing.
“Thank you for taking the time to join us here in Harwell (UK) in the Operations Center to what we call ‘Project Eyes on the Seas.’” says Tony Long, who leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program for Pew Charitable Trusts. The group created Project Eyes on the Seas. Large three-dimensional images of a globe can be seen on a video.
“It looks different from what you might expect because this globe only shows you the boats that are coming into this system from a live automated information system or AIS.”
The screen shows 120,000 fishing boats have AIS. They are required to have the technology. But those who are fishing illegally often turn it off. The technology does not tell observers when that happens. Project Eyes on the Seas combines satellite information with secret government records on every ship’s past activities.
Mr. Long says that permits researchers to understand exactly where the fishing boats are operating. The Pew team gives the information it gathers to port officials to help them decide if they should take action against a ship. Tony Long says he would like to be able to provide port officials all over the world with clear lists. They would inform the officials about ships to inspect, ships to bar from entrance, and ships to permit entrance for trade activities.
The Pacific island nation of Palau was an early user of the technology. Palau has one of the richest fishing areas in the world. Last year, it announced a plan to ban commercial fishing in a 630,000 square kilometer area. K.B. Sakuma is a special adviser to the president of Palau. He says Palau is trying to deal with a recent increase in illegal, unsupervised（无人监管的）and unreported fishing.
“And it’s come to a head in the last year or two. From our southern island in the evening you can see on the horizon just dotted lights of these illegal fishermen that come into our waters, fill their ships with our fish, our resources, our food security...”According to the estimation, what is the percentage of illegal fishing?
| A．1% | B．5% | C．23.5% | D．20% |
The information is collected by the Pew team so as to ________.
| A．leave written records for the country only |
| B．help fishermen to catch more fish on the Seas |
| C．prevent all of the fishing practices on the Seas |
| D．assist port officials in deciding whether to ban a ship from fishing |
What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
| A．The clear lists. |
| B．The investigators. |
| C．The fishing boats. |
| D．The Project Eyes. |
Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

| B．The problem begins to appear. |
| C．The number of fishermen is increasing. |
| D．The head of the fishermen is coming. |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．When the fishermen turn off the AIS, the inspector will know the situation. |
| B．The special adviser to the president of Palau leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program. |
| C．The new technology contributes to solving the problem of illegal fishing. |
