22、 They say that 'a picture is worth a thousand words', but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic 'turkeys'.
Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer's The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as 'great'? Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as 'interesting'?
One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen. This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favorite characters in the movie versions.
Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homer's The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience. The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen. Many people thought she didn't live up to Helen's title of 'the most beautiful woman in the world', influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original source. Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.
【1】Which of the following statements about the movie adaptation is true?
A.The characters in The Odyssey do not stand out.
B.The movie Troy doesn't look the way we visualized while reading the book.
C.The visual images are not as striking as the descriptions in the book The Great Gatsby.
D.Some parts of the story and characters are missing in the movie Alice in Wonderland.
【2】One of the reasons why adaptations disappoint the audience is that ________.
A.they lack good storytelling
B.the images are not impressive enough
C.the characters in the movies are not strong and interesting
D.there is not enough time for movies to fully present the whole story
【3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.Every shoe fits not every foot.
B.Birds of a feather flock together.
C.Reading is a matter of personal taste.
D.Different people have different ideas about the books and movies.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.People are dissatisfied with the current movies.
B.Reading books is better than watching movies.
C.Good books may not be adapted for great movies.
D.People are expressing their preference to reading books.
23、The Surprising Habits that Are Stopping You from Losing Weight
You’ve cut out snacks and started exercising, but why can’t you shift those stubborn pounds? Read on to discover the surprising reasons you struggle to stay slim and simple, science-backed solutions.
You’re eating too late.
Do you regularly eat dinner after 8:00 pm or snack through the evening? A study found that late-night eating made people hungrier the following day. 【1】Avoid eating between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am.
You’re not at the gym frequently enough.
Working out actively but not seeing results? Consider how active you are outside the gym.【2】 There are 168 hours in a week, so if you do one-hour workouts three times a week in the gym, you’re only exercising for 2% of the week. Instead, be active throughout your day has accumulative effect on fat loss.
You’re eating too fast.
The faster you eat, the more rapidly sugar enters your bloodstream. People who eat faster tend to have a higher weight and energy intake than slow-eaters. I’m always telling my children not to wolf food, but listen to their hunger signals. 【3】.
You drop off with the TV on.

D．Celebrate a special day or event occasionally.
E．Everything feels right, but you know something is wrong.

24、We buried one of my heroes on Friday. She was my mother-in-law. In the case of Helen Boyle, “hero” might be a form of understatement. Let me recite just a few facts about her 85 years on this earth.
She lost her father at age 5 and learned his death from a kid on the street while she was walking home. He looked at her and said, in that mean and matter-of-fact way, “Your father’s dead.” Helen was shocked and didn’t know what to say, so she replied, “I know,” even though she didn’t.
When she was 38, she gave birth to twins, Neil and Sharon, who died within days of being born. The pain meant for her must have been extreme, but she had little time to feel sad. More was waiting for her. Just a few weeks later her husband went in for an operation for what they thought was an ulcer (溃疡). The doctor came out of the operating room and said, “He’s got two weeks to two months.” Actually, it wasn’t an ulcer, it was stomach cancer. So the twins had just died, and now her husband was dying. Besides, there were six other kids at home. The oldest was just a sophomore in high school.
Her husband, Jimmy, worked in a boiler room. He was a good man and a good father, but not a man of money. He was part of that white working class pundits (学者) have been talking about so much. Helen raised those kids, ages 2 to 16 at the time of Jimmy’s death, on income from secretarial jobs, Social Security survivor benefits and, occasional “5-pound chunks of U.S. government-issued cheese given out of the backs of trucks.”
Yet this is not the beginning of a sad story. On the contrary, Helen’s son Chris says that his mother had the most successful life of anyone he has ever met. Many of us share this view.
My wife, Mary, says she never knew she was poor until she went to college. She came home at a break and said, “Mom, we’re poor.” And Helen replied with a smile, “We’re not poor, we are impoverished (穷困的) nobility.”
“Noble” is right. It was not just that Helen, in a neighborhood where most kids didn’t go to college, sent all six of hers through. Nor was it just the fact that with her meager (贫乏的) resources, Helen was the one who helped out other neighborhood kids.
She was a pillar (栋梁) of her church and committed to her union. She was the person her friends counted on for sound advice. She had a gentle manner that signaled she understood what they were going through, because she did.
Helen had an indescribable inner strength that was rooted in reflection, determination and a quiet confidence in resources beyond her own. She was a spiritual person, a Catholic to her bones without any illusions about the church itself, even though it was so central to her life.
My wife, however, objects to a word so many of her friends used about her, that Helen was “a saint.” Mary does not for a moment doubt her mother’s sainthood. She objects to the word because it implies a sanctimoniousness (伪善) that had nothing to do with a woman who had a sparkling sense of humor, who taught by example rather than judgment and who enjoyed a rich intellectual life that probed the human mysteries — scientific, religious and literary.
One of Helen’s spiritual heroes was St. Francis of Assisi, which is why she knew from the start that a priest who took the name Francis would be special. St. Francis taught us to confront hatred with love, injury with pardon, darkness with light, doubt with faith and sadness with joy.
The miracle of Helen is that in the face of all the trials she was asked to endure, she was one of the most genuinely joyful people I will ever encounter. She somehow knew she would always overcome. And she did.
【1】Why does the author think “hero” inadequate to describe Helen?
A. She might as well be regarded as a saint.
B. She was well up to the standard of a hero.
C. She endured more than was expected of her.
D. She knew how to get through a difficult time.
【2】Some facts are cited in the passage to ______.
A. reveal how poor Helen’s living conditions are
B. prove why “hero” is a form of understatement
C. show what boundaries Helen has gone beyond
D. indicate what suffering Helen has experienced
【3】What can be learnt about the white working class?
A. They are the targets of pundits. B. They lead a relatively poor life.
C. They can hardly make ends meet. D. They tend to talk more and do less.
【4】Which of the following statements about Helen is TRUE?
A. She lived mainly on Social Security survivor benefits.
B. She had the ability to predict the future to live through.
C. She was a role model to touch hearts and change minds.
D. She was too dependent on St. Francis to share his ideas.
【5】Which of the following can best describe Helen?
A. Selfless and lucky. B. Generous and hesitant.
C. Sensitive and stubborn. D. Strong-minded and reliable.
【6】The best title of the passage would be ______.
A. Losing my mother-in-law B. My mother-in-law, my “hero”
C. The miracle of my mother-in-law D. The making of a great mother-in-law
