Good morning. I’m Chen Hua. Here’s my culture report for today, Monday:
A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o’clock. The film is Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s a fantastic adventure film. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars. They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable.
The story is about an old ship. It sails around the Caribbean islands. Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold. Then they come face to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them. There's lots of action, and the fighting looks really dangerous. They also saves Keira Knightley. She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man. The scenes with Knightly and Bloom are beautiful and romantic.
The film isn't true to life, but it' s very exciting, and some of it is very funny. It' s an enjoyable film, although in my opinion there's too much fighting. But except for that, it's an excellent film. U you didn't see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now. I' m sure you' 11 enjoy it. It' s showing all week.

Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county．Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night．I was so tired and exhausted．My whole life was hopeless．Then one day I read the following article from a magazine：
"A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert(沙漠)during the war．She simply hated the place：the heat was almost unbearable，125 degree in the shade，the wind blew incessantly，and there was sand-sand everywhere．Finally，in desperation(不顾一切地)she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming home．
Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father-just two lines：
'Two men looked out from prison bars．One saw the mud，and the other saw stars．'
The daughter did some real thinking，not only with the intellect(思维)but also with her heart．She decided to stick to her post．
She made friends with the natives，learned to love the country，and eventually wrote a book about it．
The desert hadn't changed，but her attitude had．Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent，a whole new world opened up to her．"
A change of attitude could change everything．
After reading the article，I was deep in thought(陷入沉思)…

The underlined word"unbearable"means________in Chinese．

After she received her father's reply，the woman________．
