Finally, this week’s comedy “Tomorrow’s Another Day” at the Cambridge MGM cinema, is another one in the long line of successes from director Peter Hamin.
This one has an unusual story line. Just imagine this; one day Mickey Style , a TV reporter, goes off to make a program about an exciting film festival in Canada. On his first morning there he wakes up, the sun is shining, the birds are singing , and life just couldn’t be better. He works through the day , goes to bed; wakes up the next morning… to find it’s the same day! The same sun, the same birds singing in the same tree, the same people saying and doing exactly the same things, day after day, He is caught in a place where time has simply stood still, where there will be no tomorrow.
This could be very serious, but it’s not. It’s an extremely funny film, which made everyone, including your reviewer (評論家) , laugh out loud. It has the silliest ending , and the audience loved it!

Bernice Gallegos sat down one day this summer, as she does pretty much every day, and began listing items on eBay.She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card.She stopped for a moment and admired the picture.“Red Stocking B.B.Club of Cincinnati,” the card read, under the reddish brown color photo of 10 men with their socks pulled up to their knees.
As a collector and seller, it's her job to spot old items that might have value today.It's what Bernice, 72, and her husband, Al Gallegos, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique (古玩) store.
This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay.She took a picture, wrote a description and put it up for auction (拍賣).She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents.Later that night she got a few odd inquiries—someone wanting to know whether the card was real, someone wanting her to end the auction and sell him the card immediately.
The card is actually 139 years old.Sports card collectors call the find "extremely rare" and estimate the card could fetch five, or perhaps, six figures at auction.
Just like that, Bernice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story."I didn't even know baseball existed that far back," Gallegos says, "I don't think that I've ever been to a baseball game." The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back.It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200.
When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was—an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings.
"When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," Mirigian says."They've uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine.That card is history.It's like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso."
What can we conclude from Paragraph 3?
A.Bernice had to pay some fees for her card on eBay.
B.Bernice wanted to end the auction that night.
C.Bernice decided to sell the card for $15.
D.eBay charged her 20 cents for the card.
The underlined word "fetch" in Paragraph 4 most probably means "____".
A.go and bring B.a(chǎn)dd up to C.go down to D.be sold for
From the passage, we may learn that ____.
A.Bernice is a baseball fan
B.Bernice is the last person to purchase the rare-baseball card
C.Bernice unexpectedly became the owner of the rare-baseball card
D.Bernice didn't realize the value of the card until she put it up for auction
What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Surprisingly Valuable Discovery B.Be mice Gallegos—A Lucky Collector
C.Sports Card Collectors D.The History of the Baseball Card

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”
And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week long.”
And then, in prefect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
【小題1】 Why was the author’s mother poorly served?
A.She was unable to speak good English. |
B.She was often misunderstood. |
C.She was not clearly heard. |
D.She was not very polite. |
A.they forgave the stockbroker |
