In white shirt, blue pants, black cloth shoes and two pigtails (辮子), Jingqiu gives off an air of great “pure beauty” in Zhang Yimou’s new movie Under the Hawthom Tree.《山揸樹之戀》

The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Set at the end of the “cultural revolution” (1966-1976), the pair manage to fall in love although they come form different political environments.

Before it was released, moviegoers speculated (推測) on just what this “pure beauty” could be. Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu—a character so innocent that she believes simply lying on the same bed with a man will make her pregnant.

It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang, Zhou has “eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside”. Born of an ordinary worker’s family, the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.

While some teenagers consider such “pure beauty” illusory (虛幻的), others believe that it speaks of something soulful.

Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within, thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of Nanjing.

“Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it doesn’t mean an ignorant or naive (天真的) person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn’t pass with time,” she said.

What image does Jingqiu give to audiences in the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree?

    A. A simple girl.           B. A pure girl.         C. A romantic girl.         D. A silent girl.

What kind of girl looks pure according to the passage?

    A. A girl in red shirt, blue pants, black leather shoes and two pigtails.

    B. A girl has eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside.

    C. A girl who was born into an ordinary worker’s family.

    D. A girl wears accessories and make-up.

What’s the opinion of Tan Mengxi about purity?

    A. It is of whether someone is ignorant or naive.

    B. Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced.

    C. It is of whether someone is always enthusiastic.

    D. Purity is a matter of internal quality and doesn’t pass with time.

Which do you think is the best title for the passage?

    A. What makes a pure girl?

    B. A debate on the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree

    C. Opinions on the character Jingqiu

    D. It’s hard to find the character Jingqiu

When did the story in the movie happen？

    A. In the 1960s             B. In the 1980s

    C. In the 1970s             D. In the 1990s.

THIS was the year the Earth struck back.

Earthquakes, heat waves, floods, volcanoes, super typhoons, snow storms, landslides and droughts killed at least a quarter of a million people in 2010 – the deadliest year in more than a generation. More people were killed worldwide by natural disasters this year than have been killed in terrorism attacks in the past 40 years combined.

"It just seemed like it was back-to-back and it came in waves," said Craig Fugate, who heads the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency. It handled a record number of disasters in 2010.

And we have ourselves to blame most of the time, scientists and disaster experts say.

Even though many catastrophes have the ring of random chance, the hand of man made this a particularly deadly, costly, extreme and weird（古怪的） year for everything from wild weather to earthquakes.

Poor construction and development practices conspire to make earthquakes more deadly than they need be. More people live in poverty in vulnerable（脆弱的） buildings in crowded cities. That means that when the ground shakes, the river breaches, or the tropical cyclone hits, more people die.

Disasters from the Earth, such as earthquakes and volcanoes "are pretty much constant," said Andreas Schraft, vice president of catastrophic perils for the Geneva-based insurance giant Swiss Re. "All the change that's made is man-made."

The January earthquake that killed well more than 220,000 people in Haiti is a perfect example. Port-au-Prince has nearly three times as many people - many of them living in poverty - and more poorly built shanties than it did 25 years ago. So had the same quake hit in 1985 instead of 2010, total deaths would have probably been in the 80,000 range, said Richard Olson, director of disaster risk reduction at Florida International University.

In February, an earthquake that was more than 500 times stronger than the one that struck Haiti hit an area of Chile that was less populated, better constructed, and not as poor. Chile's bigger quake caused fewer than 1,000 deaths.

Climate scientists say Earth's climate also is changing, bringing extreme weather, such as heat waves and flooding.

In the summer, one weather system caused oppressive heat in Russia, while farther south it caused flooding in Pakistan that inundated 161,200 square kilometers, about the size of Wisconsin. That single heat-and-storm system killed almost 17,000 people, more people than all the worldwide airplane crashes in the past 15 years.

Scientists have calculated that the killer Russian heat wave—setting a national record of 43.9℃—would happen once every 100,000 years without global warming.

What is responsible for the most human deaths in 2010?

A．Natrual disasters.       B．Terrorist attacks.

    C．Poor buildings.      D．Too rapid developrnent.

According to Andreas Schraft,             .

A．earthquakes are happening more often because of human beings

B．earthquakes are causing more damage because of human beings

C．stronger houses should be built to limit storm damage

D．Port—au—Prince is now overpopulated

The main point of the article is to           

A．list the natural disasters that occurred in 2010

B．give the details of some natural disasters of 2010

C．warn that more natural disasters are to strike

D．blame humanity for not helping those affected by the disasters
