27、 Disney will release a second “Frozen” movie on November 22. Now, we know a bit more about how it will look. On September 23, a brand-new, two-minute trailer (预告片) was released. The love between sisters is going to be tested again in “Frozen 2.” Queen Elsa and Princess Anna will take a journey. Together, they hope to save the kingdom of Arendelle. We also get to meet some new characters.
The clip (片段) opens with a narrator (讲述者) speaking. “Far away, as north as we can go, once stood an enchanted forest,” he says. The scene flashes back to a young Elsa and Anna. They are talking with their parents. In the first movie, the parents died in a terrible accident. “You see an enchanted forest?” Anna asks her dad, King Agnarr. “Yes. It was a magical place, but something went wrong. Since then, no one can get in or out,” the narrator continues. Scenes show characters battling with swords and shields. The forest soon gets covered in purple flames and smoke.
Next, you see the sisters talking in a caring moment. “What would I do without you?” Elsa asks her sister. “You’ll always have me,” Anna promises. Then the adventure begins. The people of Arendelle are shown running out of the kingdom. Of course, Anna is not going to let her sister go into the forest alone. “Excuse me? I climbed the north mountain, survived a frozen heart and saved you from my ex-boyfriend, so you know I’m coming,” Anna says.
The final clips show the whole group going into the enchanted forest. The crew is led by Elsa, Anna and Kristoff. Olaf the snowman is there, too. Sven, Kristoff’s pet reindeer, joins them. During their journey, there are some new faces. One is the fierce female leader of the roaming Northuldra group, Yelana. Another is the free-spirited member of the Northuldra, Honeymaren. She is joined by her cheery brother, Ryder, and the curious and cute salamander, Bruni.
It looks like we will finally learn why Elsa was born with magical powers. We will also continue to see that Anna will do anything for her sister. “You can’t just follow me into fire!” Elsa shouts at Anna. “Then don’t run into fire!” Anna fires back. At the end, we learn that Arendelle must be protected at all costs.
【1】In the trailer we can learn that Anna is a/an ______ girl.

28、Hundreds of children are being treated for sleep problems in Wales every year, in some cases, babies, infants and teenagers have been admitted to hospital while in north Wales alone.
The Children’s Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use. Public Health Wales said sleep was as important to a child’s health as healthy eating and exercise, and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.
Statistics obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospitals across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.
Children aged between 0 and 4 made up the highest number of inpatients, with some newborns being treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.
Vicki Dawson, who set up the Children’s Sleep Charity (CSC), said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety. “Their weight and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health,” she said.
Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldn’t concentrate for long periods.
Psychologist Amy McClelland, of Sleep Wales, said a common problem was children being “over excited” and “not having the chance to relax properly” before bed and families should get back to basics. “Think 1950s family home. Dinner as a family, read, chat, a film maybe, lights off and then bed.” She added.
【1】What’s the main reason why children are short of sleep?
A.Less exercise.
B.Eating habits.
C.Sleep patterns.
D.Technology use.
【2】Who are the majority of the inpatients with sleep-related disorders?
A.Teenagers.
B.Infants.
C.Teachers.
D.Parents.
【3】What can we infer from what Amy McClelland said?
A.Relaxation has a bad effect on children.
B.Chatting and films make children sleep more.
C.Being too excited is good for sleep habits.
D.It is difficult for children to read before bed.
【4】What is the best tide for the text?
A.Ways to Treat Sleep Problems
B.Sleep Habits of Welsh Children
C.Sleep Problems of Welsh Children
D.The Problems of Welsh Children
29、Having No Sense of Humor
A sense of humor is a quality that is usually considered valuable in a social context. If you are worried that you may not have it, don't panic just yet. 【1】 If you find you are naturally unfunny, don't worry! Work instead on accepting the unique person you are and showcasing your other talents.
Remember that everyone is different.
You might sometimes feel like you are the only one who isn't witty or funny, but remind yourself that everyone is different, with different strengths and weaknesses. There are over seven billion people in the world. 【2】
Practice self-acceptance.
【3】. Or there may be other reasons. Having no sense of humor doesn't make you a bad person or mean there's something wrong with you.
【4】
Determine what you are good at and what brings out your personality. Think about your most joyful activities as a child, or what you were doing the last time you lost track of time. You may have a hidden gift that hasn't been discovered yet.
Though it may seem that the dominant culture likes and accepts humor, it's totally okay that some people don't have a sense of humor. 【5】 While funny people serve a great purpose, so do serious people.
A.Everyone has his role to play.
B.Develop your personality.
C.Discover your talents.
D.Accept your weaknesses and let them go.
