26、 The Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧!爸爸) has become a huge hit in China. It has earned almost $170 million in China since its release there on May 5.
Much has been written about why Dangal has enjoyed such big success in China. Some people say one reason is the film’s star and producer, Aamir Khan. He is famous in India’s Bollywood film industry. Two of his earlier films were also big hits in China. But he is not the only reason. Media has pointed out how it shows similarities between parental systems in China and India.
Dangal is based on the true story of a man who enjoyed the sport of wrestling(摔跤). He competedas a wrestler, but never could realize his lifelong dream: winning a gold medal. As a father, he wanted his son to win the medal. But his wife only gave birth to daughters. So he finally decided to train them to be world-class wrestlers.
The movie is more serious than most Bollywood productions, which tell happy love stories and include colorful music and dance performances.
Edward Chan, a professor, says the strict way of parenting in the film is something people in China can easily relate to. “I think the father’s role described by the movie in India is quite similar to the culture, especially the traditional culture in China.”
The Chinese government-supported Global Times newspaper pointed that movie critics(评论家) in China did not like Dangal. Most of them agreed with the fact that the father in the film was forcing his daughters to become wrestlers. But the film Dangal is really aimed to educate children to work for their dreams.
【1】What can we learn from the text?
A.Most films from Bollywood are serious.
B.Daughters perform worse in the sport than sons.
C.Indian parents’ roles are similar to those in China in some way.
D.The films produced by Aamir Khan are not popular with Chinese.
【2】What’s the main reason for the father teaching his daughters to wrestle?
A.He loved them very much. B.He wanted to punish them.
C.Few women took this sport. D.He wanted them to realize his goal.
【3】What do most Chinese movie critics agree?
A.The truth of the whole story is doubtful.
B.The father’s behavior in the film Dangal is cruel.
C.Indian films often have a bad influence on Chinese parents.
D.The film Dangal is against the Indian traditional culture.
【4】What does the author think of Dangal?
A.It’s unknown. B.It’s educational. C.It’s unsuccessful. D.It’s relaxing.
27、 Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. “It’s better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time, ”Ben argued, “and it’ll keep me out of trouble.” In the end we gave in. “All right,” we said, “but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbors when you play.”
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to move, the other members of Ben’s band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben’s hobby (爱好) has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill—after all I didn’t expect my parents’ generation ( 一 代 人 ) to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager—but they do play in local clubs for young people at the same time each week.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their schoolwork because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always stressing ( 强 调 ) to Ben how important his studies are. But one thing is certain—Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.
【1】What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A.To introduce her son’s friends.
B.To give advice to teenagers.

A.She wanted to reward him for studying hard.
B.He doesn’t like computer games.
C.She knew he would use it properly.
D.He persuaded her it would be a good idea.
【3】Why does the band always practise at Ben’s house?
A.It is difficult for Ben to move his drums.
B.The neighbors don’t mind the noise.
C.Ben’s parents enjoy listening to them.
D.They can leave their equipment there.
【4】What does the author say about the band members?
A.Their influence on her son worries her.
B.They play their instruments well.
C.They avoid any touch with her.
D.Their taste in music is different from hers.
28、Ketchup (番茄酱) is a magical little dressing. It has a sweet and salty bite and makes just about any food more appetizing. 【1】 So how did ketchup become best friends with French fries? Let’s start at the beginning.
【2】In fact, the first ketchup recipe did not include tomatoes! Instead the Chinese made it from salted fish. Doesn’t sound as appetizing as today’s dip, does it?【3】 In the 1900s it started making its way to everyone s dinner tables and refrigerators when the Heinz family bottled and sold it. Ketchup underwent another makeover in the 1970s with the rise of high-fructose corn syrup (高果糖玉米糖浆).
America’s favorite way to eat vegetables originated not in France as the name suggests, but in Belgium. When French fries made their way onto the scene in Europe in the early 1800s, ketchup, as we now know it, had not been invented yet. Americans accepted the side dish in the 1930s and enjoyed them fried in beef fat. 【4】 There are reports of early adopters dipping their fries in ketchup from as early as the late 1800s, but the trend didn’t take off in America until the 1940s. As the popularity of fast food restaurants grew, so did the desire to dip our fries in that tasty red sauce. Fast food restaurants started serving French fries with ketchup. 【5】
A.You can even clean with it!
B.We have been hooked since.
C.They didn’t find ketchup delicious at all.
D.Then French fries were invented to go with ketchup.
E.In their birthplace, fries are served with salad dressing.
F.Red, tomato-based ketchup didn’t appear until much later.
G.Ketchup has been around for centuries but in a completely different form.
