Are you looking forward to watching some great films in this summer？Here are four films you won’t miss. Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is this summer’s most exciting film. Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June. The Mummy
Tom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now bee a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag – but it’s Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something very emotional to me.”On general release from 8 June. Baby Driver
Ansel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a edy-action-romance from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn’t just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapid-fire bination of movement and sound. Released 28 June in Canada and the US. A Man Called Ove
This film has bee one of Sweden’s most popular edies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, he developed an unlikely friendship with his Persian neighbor. It is really a tearjerker (赚人热泪的) film, which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well. Released 25 May in Hong Kong, 30 June in the UK.

A characteristic of American culture that has bee almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man--the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and mands greater respect in the munity than the mon laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only fortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the near- by bakery. On
the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. 24.From Paragraph 1 , we can know that in America
A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self--made man B. people can always rise to the top through their own efforts C. college professors win great respect from mon workers D. people feel painful to mention their fathers as laborers
25.According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because A. servants in America are hard to get B. she takes pride in what she can do herself C. she can hardly afford servants
D. it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
26.The expression \A. work in a furniture shop B. keep accounts for a bar C. wait to lay the table
D. serve customers in a restaurant
27.Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage? A. A Respectable Self--made Family B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor C. Characteristics of American Culture D. The Development of Manual Labor

An Italian pany has created the world’s first underwater farm. The station named Nemo’s Garden consists of five biospheres(生物圈) fixed to the bottom of the sea off the coast of Savona, Italy. They’re being used to grow strawberries, beans, garlic, and lettuce.
“The main target of this project is to create other sources of plant production in areas where environmental conditions make it difficult to grow crops through traditional farming, including lack of fresh water, fertile soil, and extreme temperature changes,’’ said project spokesperson Luca Gamberini.
The five biospheres, currently floating between depths of 18 and 36 feet, are constantly watched by Ocean Reef Group —— a diving equipment pany——from a control center on dry land. According to various news reports, the plants are watered by drips of water on the inner walls of the biospheres. With a constant temperature of 79 degrees day and night, and humidity(湿度) at around 83 percent, the conditions are ideal for plants to grow well. The high amount of carbon dioxide also encourages growth.
Ocean Reef president Sergio Gamberini said he came up with the idea of growing plants underwater during a summer vacation in Italy. In his own words, he wanted to do something that’s different and to show the beauty of the ocean. After two years of failed attempts, they finally were able to get these five biospheres working. Their success may lay the foundation for a new form of crop production that can be done without harming the environment.
In fact, the biosphere seems to be attracting wildlife. Octopuses(章鱼) and endangered seahorses are taking shelter under the structure, while crabs(螃蟹) are climbing up the anchors and into the greenhouses. None of the creatures have damaged the plants so far. “It’s so kind of science-fiction to see these two different forms of life interact,” Gamberini said. 28. Why was the underwater farm created?
A. To help explore the sea. B. To protect sea creatures.
C. To improve the sea environment D. To find a new way of growing crops. 29. Sergio Gamberini got the idea of growing plants underwater _______. A. by chance B. from science fiction
C. after reading a news report D. after two years of failed attempts 30. The last paragraph is written mainly to tell us that _____.
A. the plants in the biosphere is protected B. the biosphere is environmentally friendly C. sea creatures may do harm to the biosphere D. sea creatures like the plants in the biosphere
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The undersea exploration. B. Growing plants without soil.
C. A biosphere that attracts wildlife. D. The world’s first underwater farm.

Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.
Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else
