Gu was behind the camera for many of Zhang Yimou's famous films including the one that rocketed Zhang to fame: “Red Sorghum(高粱)”. And now this master of the visual has taken on his first directing role with the film “Peacock”. So Gu Changwei has come out from behind the camera into the spotlight(聚光灯)．
Gu Changwei is very serious about his directing “Peacock”. To get the authentic atmosphere, Gu took his film crew to the city of Anyang in central China's Henan Province where the story took place, to shoot the film. He chose all new actors because he didn't want “stars” appeal to weaken the power of the story, and he also had his actors trained in the local dialect. For this film Gu has been able to get out from behind the camera to manage every aspect of the film, and to realize his own ideals in movie-making.
“Peacock” is about the life of an average family in a small town in Henan Province in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Gu chose this story for his first movie because he grew up during this same period and it struck a chord with him.
“Peacock” wrapped up production in June, 2004. It's aimed at the foreign film market and will be entered in February's Berlin Film Festival, and released in China at the same time.

The film was warmly received by both teachers and students.

To most Chinese students，studying abroad could be hard work.There are lots of difficulties they should face every day－the language harrier，culture shock，gaps between Eastern and Western lifestyles，expensive tuition fees and endless research projects.
To Song Yinan，a 19-year-old Shenzhen girl，however，studying abroad was all unforgettable experience.In her book，“Kiki's London Diary”，she tells her stories in an optimistic way.
Probably the biggest difficulty Chinese students will meet is ________. For example，in a story written at the beginning of her first term in London，Song suffered some embarrassment during a welcome party，where she was introduced to some dizzy drinks.However, she found that she couldn't read most of the English names of the drinks and drank only cola and fruit juice. She described how red her face was and also the impatience of some other students as they stared the poor girl.
Song says in an interview that it is still a good experience for her anyway.Although_it__sounds_like_“losing_face”_to_most_Chinese_students,_she_says_it_is_normal_when_you_study_abroad_and_she_is_happy_to_share_story_with_others.
During her stay in Britain，Song was like an explorer.She discovered happiness in London everyday.She found happiness in a computer on which she could search for information on Chinese websites, at a low-price grocery, and form making friends with Britain students.
Song was a high school student then and had never travelled abroad alone before. This is why Song's parents say in the book's forward that they were a little bit worried about their daughter.
However，throughout the book，readers can feel the optimism and persistence of this strong-willed girl.Her study and life experiences in London are to delight any Chinese studying abroad or who plans to do so.

The amount of water in the world is finite(有限的). The number of people is growing fast and water use is growing even faster. Global water consumption rose six times between 1900 and 1995?more than double the rate of population growth.
As important as quantity is quality?with pollution increasing in some areas，the amount of useable water declines.
And the wider effects of water shortages are just as frightening as the prospect of having too little to drink.
Seventy percent of the water used worldwide is used for agriculture. Much more will be needed if we are to feed the world's growing population. And consumption will rise further as more people expect Western-style lifestyles and diets?one kilogram of grain-fed beef needs at least 15 cubic metres of water，while a kilo of cereals(谷物)needs only up to three cubic metres.
New technology can help，however，especially by cleaning up pollution and so making more water useable，and in agriculture，where water use can be made far more efficient.Drough-resistant(抗旱的)plants can also help.
The optimists say“virtual water”may save the day?the water contained in crops which could be exported from water－rich countries to dry ones. But the amounts involved would be huge，and the energy needed to transport the water would be enormous(巨大的).
In any case，it is not just us who need water，but every other species that shares the planet with us. We have to rethink how much water we really need if we are to learn how to share the earth's supply. While dams and other large-scale schemes play a big role worldwide，there is also a growing recognition of the value of using the water we already have more efficiently rather than harvesting ever more from our rivers. For millions of people around the world，getting it right is a matter of life and death.
1. Which of the following statements on water consumption is NOT true?
A. Agriculture consumes more than haft of the water used in the world.
B. The growing population worsens the water shortage situation.
C. Lifestyles play an important role in water consumption.
D. The Western way of agriculture uses more water than the Asian way.
2. “Virtual water” refers to the water that ________.
A. is hidden in crops
B. is saved in agriculture
C. can be transported
D. can be reused with the aid of the Internet
3. In the last paragraph，the author mainly ________.
A. criticizes big projects such as dams
B. criticizes the use of river water
C. calls for the protection of other species
D. calls for the more efficient use of water
4. What's the main idea of the text?
A. Water is mainly wasted in agriculture.
B. Water pollution is threatening our health.
C. Shortage of water is a very serious problem.
D. Population growing influences water use.

字数：381完成时间：15分钟难度：★★
In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence?as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch(关键时刻), we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it even acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed(流血), the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.
The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement(执行). If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.
5. Recorded history has taught us ________.
A. violence never solves anything
B. nothing
C. the bloodshed means nothing
D. everything
6. It can be inferred that truly reasonable men ________.
A. can't get a hearing
B. are looked down upon
C. are persecuted
D. have difficulty in advocating law enforcement
7. According to the passage, the best way to solve race prejudice is ________.
A. law enforcement B. knowledge
C. nonviolence D. mopping up the violent mess
8. What is the author's attitude towards the violence?
A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Sympathetic.
9. What is the BEST title for this passage?
A. Advocating Violence
B. Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice
C. Violence as a Legitimate Solution
D. Violence: The Instinct of Human Race

Have you ever been at a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry，and made up your mind to pay attention and always have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“On the contrary，”says L．Giambra，an expert in psychology，“________.Without it，the mind couldn't get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day.You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind.Instead，your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time.Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful.At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late l980s.
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct，quite unlike sleep dreams，which may be hard to understand.It's__easier_gain_a_deep_understanding_of_your_life_by_paying_close_attention_to_your_daydreams_than_by_trying_to_examine_your_sleep_dreams_carefully.Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicated.They move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of ideas.For many famous artists and scientists，daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
