21、Three Films to Watch in October
October is approaching and a new wave of films will be on soon. Here are three breath-taking films recommended by BBC and see which of the following will appeal to you best?
Rebecca (《蝴蝶梦》)
The famous adaption of Rebecca is the Oscar-winning Alfred Hitchcock classic Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. How can Ben Wheatley’s new version possibly compete? Well, one answer is to have Kristin Scott Thomas as Mrs Danvers, a stroke of casting genius which is enough to justify the film’s existence. Another answer is going back to the book and trying to get closer to the actual story... You think you know it and you just don’t.
On Netflix from 21 October
Possessor
Andrea Riseborough stars as an assassin(刺客) who can control other people’s bodies and get them to do the killing for her. Her latest job is to kill an IT tycoon (Sean Bean) and his daughter (Tuppence Middleton) by possessing the daughter’s future husband (Christopher Abbott). David Ehrlich of IndieWire claimed , “90 minutes of Andrea Riseborough and Chriustopher Abbott engaging in warfare over control of the latter’s body is more satisfying”.
Released on 2 October in the US and 9 October in Canada
Honest Thief
Liam Neeson plays Tom, a retired bank robber who promises to return his ill-gotten gains in exchange for a reduced prison sentence so that he can settle down with the woman he loves (Kate Walsh). But the two FBI agents (Jai Courtney and Anthony Ramos) assigned to fetch the money decide to steal it instead and frame Tom for murder. Unfortunately for them, he is a man with a very particular set of skills, so the explosions, car chases, and shoot-outs all come.
Released on 14 October in France, 15 October in Portugal and 16 October in the US

22、Some large American companies, including Google, Facebook, and Twitter, are experimenting with cutting pay for employees working from home in less costly areas.
The experiment could set a direction for other large companies after the pandemic. A Google pay calculator shows that Google employees could see changes in their pay if they go from working in the office to working from home permanently. Those who move farther away from the office could be hit harder.
Facebook and Twitter have also cut pay for work-from-home, or remote employees who move to less costly areas. Google offers a pay calculator—a device that permits them to see the effects of a move. But some remote employees, especially those who commute from long distances, could experience pay cuts without changing their address. A Google spokesperson said that pay will differ from city to city and state to state, adding that Google always pays at the top of the local market based on where an employee works from.
One Google employee travels to the Seattle office from a nearby area. The employee was considering remote work but decided to keep going to the office-despite the two-hour trip. The employee would likely see their pay cut by about 10 percent by working from home full time. "It's as high of a pay cut as I got for my most recent promotion. I didn't do all that hard work to get promoted to then take a pay cut," he said.
Jake Rosenfeld of Washington University researches pay structures. He said Google's pay structure worries employees about the effects on their families. "What's clear is that Google doesn't have to do this," He said. "It's not like they can't afford to pay their workers who choose to work remotely the same that they are used to receiving."
【1】Who would be likely to get their pay cut mostly?
A．Employees working in the office.
B．Employees living in less costly areas.

【2】What will decide on a Google employee's pay at the local market?

D．Working hours.
【3】What can be inferred about the employee from Paragraph 41
A．He wants another promotion.
B．He keeps working at the office.
C．He will see his pay cut soon.
D．He prefers working at home
【4】What can we say about Jake Rosenfeld's opinion?
A．He is for Google's pay structure
B．He is against Google's pay structure.
C．He encourages home working.
D．He advocates working remotely
23、Police around the world have for almost 100 years relied on lie detectors to help spot criminals. But there has long been much skepticism in the scientific and legal communities about the lie detector’s reliability. Hopefully, it could soon be no longer in use.
Researchers in Britain and the Netherlands have made a breakthrough, developing a more reliable method to help conduct interviews. Rather than just record changes in pulse, blood pressure, sweating and breathing, the new system involves monitoring full-body motions to provide an indicator of signs of guilty feelings.
There is a basic fact that liars tend to keep moving their hands and feet and so an all-body motion suit will pick this up. The suit contains 17 sensors that record movement in 23 joints up to 120 times per second.
“The lie detector has been around since the 1920s and by measuring physiological stress caused by anxiety, you can only get a success rate of about 60%.”, said Ross Anderson, professor of security engineering at Cambridge University.
He said the new method, by contrast, achieved a reliability rating of over 70% and he was quite sure that they would be able to do better. In one of their experiments, the team has already achieved more than 80%.
The experiment involved 180 students and employees at Lancaster University, of which half were told to tell the truth and half to lie. They were each paid ￡7.50 for their participation in the 70-minute experiment, involving two test.
Some were interviewed about a computer game “Never End” that they played for seven minutes, while others lied about playing it having only been shown notes about it.
The second test involved a lost wallet containing ￡ 5. Some were asked to bring the wallet to a lost-and-found box while others hid it and lied about it.
“Overall, we correctly classified 82.2% of the interviewees as either being truthful or dishonest.”, the report said.
But the use of all-body suits is expensive — they cost about ￡30,000 — and can be uncomfortable, so Anderson and his colleagues are now looking at low-cost alternatives.
【1】The researchers used the all-body motion suit to .
A. discover people’s joint problems
B. record people’s changes in their health
C. help find out interviewees’ mental activities
D. prevent liars from moving their hands and feet
【2】What is the main disadvantage of the lie detector?
A. It has a low success rate B. It is very uncomfortable
C. It is too complex to use D. It costs a lot of money
【3】How does Anderson feel about the new method?
A. Confused B. Confident
C. Doubtful D. Disappointed
24、WeChat is a social mobile application with voice and text messaging timeline and several social features like ‘Message in a Bottle’. WeChat, a popular instant messaging tool run by Tencent Holdings, aims to help users access mobile services without downloading separate apps, which experts said may challenge the business of smartphone app distributors such Apple Store.
This new feature, named ‘Mini Programs’, allows WeChat users to find a variety of services such as ticket buying by scanning a QR (quick-response) code, saving them the trouble of installing a number of different apps on smart devices, according to the transcript of a speech by Zhang Xiaolong, Tencent’s senior executive vice president, on Wednesday. The new function is expected to come online on January 9.
Zhang, known as the father of WeChat, emphasized that ‘Min Programs’ is not a mobile app distributing function.
Still, experts and app developers said that the rollout (推出) of ‘Mini Programs’ on WeChat will erode the market share of app distributors like Apple Store in China.
“‘Mini Programs’ will attract lots of start-ups, because a program based on WeChat can help them build up businesses at much lower costs,” a Shanghai-based app developer, told the Global Times Wednesday.
If a start-up wants to promote its business via a separate application, it has to hire a special team to develop two different apps— one each for iOS and Android.
Lsiunched in 2011, WeChat has evolved to include services such as ‘Order Taxi’, ‘Food Delivery’, e-commerce and payments from just an instant messaging app.
【1】What can we know about ‘Mini Programs’?
A. It’s expensive. B. It’s complex.
C. It’s convenient. D. It’s free.
【2】Why do lots of start-ups choose the ‘Mini Programs’?
A. It can cut the costs of building business. B. It can help build up business.
C. It can help them make a big fortune. D. It can promote their business.
【3】What does the underlined word “erode” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. increase B. reduce
C. improve D. promote
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. WeChat will be a perfect app. B. WeChat will meet a great challenge.
C. WeChat will meet needs of more people. D. WeChat will replace other apps.
