“NOW I just don’t believe that.” Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It’s simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we’re idiots (白癡). Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what all the fuss is about.
Telegraph writer Tom Chiver’s first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows, the computer system the alien spacecraft uses. “It’s a good thing they didn’t have Norton Antivirus (諾頓防火墻)”, jokes Chivers.
It’s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams of light traveling through space look very impressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles for the light to reflect off. In reality, they’d be invisible, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.
Chiver’s second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies: “the bellow (咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a medium to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn’t actually be any sound at all.
Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly. He comments “…the film is based on the idea that humans are kept alive as electricity generator. This is not just unlikely – it’s fundamentally impossible. They would need more energy to stay alive than they would produce. It’s like saying you’ll power your car with batteries, and keep the batteries charged by running a dynamo (發(fā)電機(jī)) from the wheels.”
And finally, as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die Another Day by. In the film the bad guy has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible.
【小題1】What does the underlined sentence mean?  

A．The virus created by the character is capable of destroying spacecrafts.
B．Aliens’ using Windows system is totally unconvincing plot.
C．The spacecraft should have Norton Antivirus.
D．Norton Antivirus can stop a virus.
【小題2】 We can learn from the example of the Star Wars that       .
A．in space, you can not hear anything
B．light beams travel via air particle in space
C．Chiver thinks the sound of the fighters is vivid
D．the invisible light beams are impressive in the movies
【小題3】Chiver uses the example of car batteries in Matrix to imply that       .
A．the basic idea of the film is rather ridiculous
B．the science in the movies is very convincing
C．the idea that humans can be kept alive as electricity generator is right
D．humans would stay alive as long as they would produce enough energy
【小題4】We can learn from the movie Die Another Day that       .
A．the idea of gene therapy is creative
B．the element of DNA should not be used
C．the makers of the 2002 Bond use the genetic technology
D．DNA can be replaced but in the real world it is impossible
【小題5】Why did Chiver write this passage?
A．To prove all these films are making mistakes.
B．To show his great concern for the movie industry.
C．To joke about some movies in the movie industry.
D．To call for the audience to find out mistakes from the movies.

Perhaps a parent’s most important contribution toward raising a trustful child is to develop a relationship founded on trust. A child of any age will feel proud and grown-up if parents frequently show their trust. In court a defendant(被告) is innocent until proved guilty. But in the family, a teenager “defendant” is too often assumed guilty.
Even when the child is caught in a complete lie, this should not be the end of trust. A parent can tell a child that a single lie is forgivable. Yet it should be clear that if lies continue, the child, like the boy who cried wolf, will suffer loss of trust.
When my wife and I discovered that our son Tom, then 13, had lied about throwing a party while we were away, we grounded him for a month. We also told Tom that we could no longer trust him, and we could not allow him to stay alone overnight again. This loss of freedom was an important lesson; he learned how hard it is to live with people when they don’t trust him. As a result, now more than three years later we can again trust Tom to stay alone overnight.
Parents must always remember there is no easy answer to this universal problem of lying. We can set a good example, allow for privacy, monitor friendship, develop trust and punish wrong doing, but still we discover our child has lied to us. Finally that’s why there is a need for trust on both sides of a parent-child relationship. Lying destroys closeness and friendship. For that reason, parents should always try to give a child the feeling that they can be trusted with the truth. Parents may start with a child’s trust, but as the child grows older, parents must earn it.
【小題1】When the writer and his wife discovered that their son had lied, they _________.

A．took all his freedom from him
B．decided never to trust him again
C．forbade him to stay alone overnight
D．a(chǎn)rranged him to stay at home.
【小題2】We can infer from the passage that very often ________.
A．parents don’t trust their child as they should
B．defendants are usually proved not guilty in court
C．parents have too much trust in their child
D．some children are founded guilty in court
【小題3】According to the passage, the writer believes that _____________.
A．parents shouldn’t punish their children even if they lie
B．it is not easy to deal with the problem of lying as parents
C．there are effective ways to prevent children from lying
D．children will stop telling lies as they grow up

Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同齡人) group.

The lack of right male(男性的) role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment(環(huán)境) — means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.

They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.

It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems — somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.

1.Why did Tom give up studying?

A．He disliked his teachers.

B．His parents no longer supported him.

C．It’s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.

D．There were too many subjects in his secondary school.

2.What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?

A．Peer groups.

B．A special unit.

C．The student judges.

D．The home environment.

3.What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?

A．Wait for their change patiently.

B．Train leaders of their peer groups.

C．Stop the development of street culture.

D．Give them lessons in a separate area.

4.A teacher’s work is most effective with a schoolboy when he ______.

A．is with the boy alone

B．teaches the boy a lesson

C．sends the boy home as punishment

D．works together with another teacher
