21、Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B. B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke. Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’(移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.

22、 According to experts, much of our communication is non-verbal. Every day we respond to thousands of non-verbal signals and behaviors. Here are several common types of non-verbal signals and behaviors.
Facial expressions are responsible for a huge part of non-verbal communication. The look on a person's face is often the first thing we see, even before we hear what they have to say. 【1】But the facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger and fear are similar throughout the world.
【2】 And such things as looking, staring and blinking are important non-verbal behaviors. When people come across people or things that they like, the rate of blinking increases. Looking at another person can indicate a range of emotions, such as interest and attraction.
【3】 Normal, steady eye contact is often taken as a sign that a person are telling the truth. Shifty eyes and inability to maintain eye contact, on the other hand, are frequently seen as an indicator that someone is lying.
Our choices of color and other factors affecting appearance are also considered a means of non-verbal communication. 【4】 Appearance can also alter physiological (生理的) reactions and judgments. Just think of all the subtle judgments you quickly make about someone based on his or her appearance. These first impressions are important. 【5】
A．Eyes play an important role in non-verbal communication.
B．Culture has an important influence on how appearances are judged.
C．People also use eye contact as a way to determine if someone is being honest.
D．It plays an important role in how we interpret the actions of those around us.
E．Non-verbal communication and behavior can vary dramatically between cultures.
F．And that's why experts advise job seekers to dress appropriately for interviews.
G．Research on color psychology shows that different colors can lead to different moods.
23、Transport has a lot to answer for when it comes to harming the planet. While cars and trains are moving towards greener, electric power, emissions from air travel are expected to increase massively by 2050. If we want big green sky solutions, we need blue sky thinking. Fortunately, there’s plenty of that happening right now, particularly the short-haul flights powered by batteries.
Harbour Air is the largest seaplane airline in North America, flying 30,000 commercial flights in 40 seaplanes each year. Significantly, all Harbour Air routes last less than 30 minutes, making it perfectly fit for electric engines. “As an airline, we’re currently in the process of turning all our planes into electric airplanes.” says CEO Greg. McDougall. To make this happen, the airline has partnered up with MagniX to create the world’s first commercial flight with an electric engine.
Making the skies electric isn’t just good for the environment, it also makes sound financial sense: a small aircraft uses $400 on conventional fuel for a 100-mile flight, while an electric one casts $8-12 for the same distance, and that’s before you factor in the higher maintenance costs of a traditional engine. There’s also the added bonus that electric planes are just much more pleasant to fly in. No loud engine noise, no smell of fuel, just environmentally friendly peace and quiet.
While there has been real progress in the e-plane industry, the technical challenges that remain are keeping everyone’s feet firmly on the ground A battery, even a lithium one, only provides 250 watt-hours per kilogram; compare this to liquid fuel, which has a specific energy of 11,890 watt-hours per kilogram. Carrying adequate batteries, however, would make the plane too heavy to get off the ground. In aircraft, where every bit of weight counts, this can’t just be ignored.
The transition from gas to electric in the automobile industry has been made easier by hybrid vehicles powered by both fuel and electricity. Many believe the same pattern could be followed in the air. Fuel consumption could be reduced as the electric component is switched on at key parts of the journey, especially on take-off and landing.
It’s certainly an exciting time for electric flying. With companies like Harbour Air taking the lead, battery-powered planes, especially on short-haul journeys, are set to become a reality in the next few years.
【1】According to paragraph l, what is happening in air transport?
A．New explorations of the sky are being launched.
B．Pollution caused by batteries is being controlled.
C．Efforts are being made to make air travel greener.
D．Pollution caused by short-haul flights is increasing massively.
【2】What might be the biggest challenge of electric flying?
A．To make e-planes take off successfully.
B．To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry.
C．To calculate the energy needed to power e-planes.
D．To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes.
【3】What could be done during the transition from gas to electric in air flight?
A．To expand the landing field.
B．To use mixed-power technology.
C．To increase battery consumption.
D．To produce new electric components.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the prospect of electric flying?
A．Uncertain.
B．Indifferent.
C．Optimistic.
D．Skeptical.
24、 We know the famous ones--the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells --but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器) ? Shouldn' t we know who they are?
Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she' s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning "who" invented "what" , however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to Mclean, "When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. "
Her students agree. One young man with a patent（专利）for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. "If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper' s invention," said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major. "I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so constructive. " Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn' t be a built - in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It' s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan' s traffic light. It' s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett' s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
【1】 By mentioning "traffic light" and "windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are_______.
A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous
B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous
C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous
D. not useful, though their inventors are famous
【2】 Professor Joan McLean' s course aims to _____.
A. add color and variety to students' campus life
B. inform students of the windshield wiper' s invention
C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D. prepare students to try their own invention
【3】 Tommy Lee' s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _____
A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B .inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D. not related to Professor Joan McLean' s lectures
【4】Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
B. How to Design a Built -in Device for Cleaning the Window?
C. Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?
D. Shouldn' t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?
