Four Documentaries to Watch
We’ve dug deep to find four of the most exciting documentary films for you to enjoy in the coming winter holiday. Documentary films have the capacity to inspire, entertain or even change people and the world around them.
Elizabeth: A Portrait in Parts
In June, the Queen celebrated her Platinum Jubilee (白金禧年) to mark her 70th year as monarch. In this film, Roger Michell pieced together archive footage from hundreds of sources to show the Queen from a more human perspective.
The trailer shows the Queen yelping in pain as Princess Eugenie steps on her foot and Paul McCartney even pops up for an interview.
Sadly, Michell died just as the film was being completed and his final gift to the world is available in cinemas and on Amazon Prime.
The Sanctity of Space
The Sanctity of Space is a visual feast for the eyes that promises to take us into the heart of the snow-topped mountains of Alaska.
Inspired by a legendary 20th-century mountain photographer named Brad Washburn, directors Renan Ozturk and Freddie Wilkinson come up with a plan to make a long walk through a dangerous mountain range in his honor.
Last Exit: Space
Is there anything more fascinating than a night sky filled with stars, planets and everything in between?
In Last Exit: Space, Werner Herzog explores the human potential for colonizing space and sending people where they’ve never been before.
Since planet Earth is possibly going to hell in a handcart, the film promises to ask the question: where else might we call home?

Gorbachev. Heaven
As leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev was once one of the most powerful people on the planet who governed a landmass so big that it covered 11 time zones.
Gorbachev’s legacy is a complex one—he oversaw the end of the Cold War but many Russians blame him for the Soviet Union’s collapse.
In this film directed by Vitaly Mansky, Gorbachev reflects on his impact on the world and his life.

World War II had started, and British ships were always watching for German submarines called U-boats. The ship Ben Lomond had left Cape Town, South Africa, with a crew of 55, including a young officer named Poon Lim. On November 23, 1942, Ben Lomond was attacked by a U-boat. Within minutes the ship was sinking. Poon Lim grabbed a life jacket and leaped over the side. He swam rapidly away from the ship in case it exploded. Sure enough, it let out a large boom and sank beneath the waves.
Poon Lim struggled in the water for two hours. Then he saw an empty raft (筏), swam to it, and climbed aboard. He found a few cans of crackers, a water jug, some flares, and a flashlight, which could be enough supplies for about a month. Day after day Poon Lim had his few crackers and a couple of sips of water. He searched the horizon for ships. Twice he leaped up to shout and wave when he saw help coming. Once he saw a freight ship. It passed him. At a later time, he saw a United States Navy plane. It flew low over the raft but then disappeared. Still later a U-boat spotted him but for some reason left him alone. Poon Lim knew he needed to stay strong. He couldn’t get much exercise on an eight-foot-square raft, but he could swim circling the raft, a couple of times a day. Soon his food and water ran low. He knew that drinking seawater would make him sick, so he tore off the canvas cover on his life jacket and set it out to catch rainwater. Then he took apart the flashlight and used a wire inside to make a fishhook.
For months Poon Lim drifted, catching fish and sometimes birds. One time he even caught a shark. Finally, after 133 days, he saw a boat. Three sailors in a small sailboat picked him up and took him to Belém, a city on the coast of Brazil. Poon Lim had crossed the Atlantic Ocean. No one ever had survived longer on a raft at sea. Poon Lim received many honors, including Britain’s highest award. A booklet of his survival methods was put into every British life raft. But when Poon was interviewed, he said “I hope no one will ever have to break that record.”
24. Why did Poon Lim choose to abandon Ben Lomond?
A. Because he grabbed a life jacket. B. Because he worried it would explode.
C. Because it had gone beneath the water. D. Because it was attacked by a British ship.
25. What made Poon Lim trapped on the ocean for so long?
A. The raft with enough supplies. B. The U-boat that left him alone.
C. His failure in getting others’ help. D. His difficulty in swimming to the coast.
26. Which is the correct order of the events?
a. Poon received many honors.
b. Poon was short of food and water.
c. Poon managed to go on board a raft.
d. Poon was picked up and taken to Belém.
e. Poon swam helplessly in a life jacket for hours.
A. cebda B. ebcad C. cbeda D. cedab
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A British Hero Poon Lim B. A Booklet of Survival Methods
C. Survival on a Raft at Sea D. Journey Across the Atlantic Ocean
C
Awang Kitchen, a modest restaurant in Queens Boulevard, New York, will feel familiar to anyone who has spent time in an Indonesian city. The service is graceful and the food is as good as any offered by a neighborhood restaurant in Jakarta, Indonesia. There it would be unremarkable. However, in Queens, which is the most diverse urban area in the world, it stands out, simply by serving food from the country with the world’s fourth largest population.
Indonesian food is underappreciated in much of the world. Precisely how many Indonesian restaurants exist in America is unclear, but there may be fewer than 100. London, the equal of New York as an international food city, also has a lack of Indonesian eateries.
The gap between the fame and deliciousness of Indonesian cuisine may be the world’s greatest. Diverse in ingredients and complex in technique, it mixes chili heat, lemon sourness, sweetness from unprocessed sugar and strong smell from dried shrimp, all enhanced by countless native herbs and spices.
Indonesian dishes are not unknown everywhere in the West. The Netherlands has many Indonesian restaurants for the same reason South Asian cuisine has succeeded in Britain and north African in France: colonial ties. You can also eat great Indonesian food in Singapore, which suggests another reason cuisines cross borders—borders cross cuisines, and the peoples and cultures that make them. The size of immigrant communities is a factor. There are over ten times as many Chinese-Americans as Indonesian-Americans, and (not surprisingly) far more Chinese restaurants.
What makes Indonesian cuisine extraordinary also makes it a tough sell to Westerners used to paying low prices for most Asian food. The great quantities of herbs, spices and chilies involved are expensive in Europe and America. Many diners who would happily pay $30 for adapted versions of Italian food hesitate to spend anything like as much on Indonesian chicken soup, which requires large amounts of herbs. Their loss.
28. What has the least impact on the lack of Indonesian restaurants in many countries?
A. Service far from satisfactory. B. Complex cooking techniques.
C. Expensive native herbs and spices. D. The small size of Indonesian communities.
29. Why has Indonesian cuisine become popular in the Netherlands?
A. Indonesian cuisine is as delicious as Chinese cuisine.
B. The Netherlands once ruled Indonesia for a long time.
C. The Netherlands has got many immigrants from Indonesia.
D. Indonesian cuisine is much cheaper than any other cuisine.
30. What does “Their loss.” at the end of the passage imply?
A. Diners are at a loss for what to do.
B. Indonesian restaurants are losing customers.
C. Diners fail to enjoy delicious real Indonesian dishes.
D. Indonesian restaurants will be defeated by their competitors.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How Indonesian dishes are cooked. B. Why Indonesian cuisine is so extraordinary.
C. Indonesian food is delicious but little-known. D. Indonesian cuisine is becoming increasingly popular.
D
Dogs greet other dogs nose-first, as it were—sniffing each other from fore to (especially) aft. People are not quite so open about the process of sniffing each other out. But the size of the perfume industry suggests scent is important in human relations, too. There is also evidence that human beings can infer kinship (亲戚关系), deduce emotional states and even detect disease via the sense of smell.
Now, researchers of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, have gone a step further. They think they have shown, admittedly in a fairly small sample of individuals, that friends actually smell alike. They have also shown that this is probably the case from the beginning, with people picking friends at least partly on the basis of body odour (气味), rather than the body odours of people who become friends subsequently converging (趋同).
They stated their research by testing the odours of 20 pairs of established non-romantic, same-sex friends. They did this using an electronic nose and also two groups of specially employed human “smellers.” The e-nose employed a set of gas sensors to assess T-shirts worn by participants. One group of human smellers were given pairs of these shirts and asked to rate how similar they smelt. Those in the other group were asked to rate the odours of individual T-shirts on five subjective dimensions: pleasantness, intensity, attractiveness, competence and warmth. All three approaches yielded the same result. The T-shirts of friends smelt more similar to each other than the T-shirts of strangers. Friends, in other words, do indeed smell alike.
Why scent might play a role in forming friendships remains obscure. Other qualities related with being friends, including age, appearance, education, religion and race, are either immediately obvious or rapidly become so. But while some individuals have strong and noticeable body odour, many—at least since the use of soap has become widespread—do not. It is present. But it is subconscious.
32. Why are dogs and the perfume industry mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To list some examples. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make a comparison. D. To provide relevant evidence.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. The body odour is the beginning of friendship. B. People start to smell alike after becoming friends.
C. Many people are involved as the research samples. D. Odour-matching may be a reason for being friends.
34. How did the researchers conduct the experiment?
A. By trying to yield the same result with three approaches.
B. By testing the odours of 20 non-romantic friends of the same sex.
C. By asking each group to rate the odours of T-shirts on five dimensions.
D. By employing e-nose and human smellers to assess the odours of T-shirts.
35. What does the underlined word “obscure” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Unclear. B. Important. C. Obvious. D. Subjective.

How to learn a new language as an adult
Learning a new language can be a tough challenge at any age. However, it seems to be exceptionally difficult to get the hang of a foreign tongue as we age. ________ Yet, you can still master a foreign tongue as an adult with these tips:

________
Watching TV shows in another language is an excellent way to get used to hearing a foreign tongue spoken in real-time. ________ TV shows, films, podcasts and even video games are all great forms of entertainment for learning a new language. Not only will these forms of entertainment lend added cultural and regional insights, but they’ll help you have fun while doing it.
Patience is key.
While you are learning, be patient with yourself. Learn to love your progress and celebrate your successes. Did you know the word “piano” means “piano”, “slow” and “quiet” in Italian? Adding a single new word to your vocabulary can be so beautiful and rewarding. ________.
A. Make it fun.
B. Listen to it spoken frequently.

He did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up and 47 everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that?” He took a sponge and together they cleaned up the 48 milk.
His mother then said, “Here is a failed experiment in how to 49 carry a big milk bottle with two 50 hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a successful way to carry it.” The little boy learned that if he 51 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without 52 it.
This 53 scientist remarked that it was at that moment that he knew 54 were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, what scientific experiments are all about. 55 the experiment “doesn’t work,” we usually learn something valuable from it.

As Good As You
When Jenna’s taekwondo (跆拳道) instructor, Ms. Baroni, introduced Marti, Jenna’s best friend, to everyone, Jenna, was so excited that Marti would be taking lessons with her.
Class started with warm-up exercises, and then Ms. Baroni divided everyone into color-belt groups. Seeing Marti become red in face and play with the edge of her shirt, Ms. Baroni told the friends to work together, even though Jenna was a yellow belt and a level above Marti, making Marti less nervous on her first day. It suited Jenna fine. She couldn’t wait to demonstrate some basic kicks to Marti. Marti copied her kick as high as Jenna’s shoulder. “Great job, Marti!” said Ms. Baroni, who had walked up behind them. She then spent the next five minutes working with Marti, teaching her how to straighten her leg and snap her foot out to make the legs form a square. Jenna collapsed against the wall and watched Marti copy everything Ms. Baroni did.
The more Marti did, the more praise she earned from Ms. Baroni, and so the more half heartedly Jenna practiced. What if Marti became better than her? What if Marti became Ms. Baroni’s favorite student? “Watch your form!” Who is Ms. Baroni scolding? Jenna wondered. She turned and saw Ms. Baroni looking directly at her. Nothing could have been worse. “Jenna, your side kick could be better than that”, said Ms. Baroni with a slight frown, “You’ve memorized your form perfectly, but your moves are sloppy (马虎的). Make the legs fully extended, point the toes downward, and try again.”
At the end of the class, Jenna grabbed her bag and hurried outside to find her mom. She had planned to wait and say good-bye to Marti, but now she wanted to be alone. For the next several weeks, Marti continued to impress their teacher with her skills. And as Marti turned into a star student, Jenna became less and less excited about taekwondo.

One day, Marti excitedly told Jenna that Ms. Baroni wanted her to be tested for a new belt. With a surprised look, Jenna gave a faint smile. Hesitating for a while, she said “Two more judges other than Ms. Baroni will give you points. Are you sure you can make it?” Marti looked disappointed and asked, “You don’t think I’m good enough?” Jenna shook her head but felt her face burning, trying to dodge her eyes. She didn’t like feeling jealous, but she couldn’t help it because she hadn’t been ready to test for her next belt. A week later, Jenna encouraged Marti at the belt testing although she secretly knew she would feel better if Marti made a mistake or two.
When Marti finished her form, Jenna thought it looked perfect. Evidence could be found from the judges’ question for Marti, “How often do you practice?” “45 minutes every day,” answered Marti. Marti’s answer reminded Jenna how halfheartedly she had practiced, which made her ashamed. So she approached Marti to congratulate her on her success. “Thank you,” Marti said with a big smile, hugging Jenna tightly. Jenna happily invited Marti to practise together afterwards. Marti cried out excitedly, “So I have a chance to become as good as you.” Jenna laughed, “Funny, I was hoping I might become as good as you.”
