But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm the first mobile film festival. The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in lengthbest for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent team of judges then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.New PlatformsThe awards highlight the increasing influence that mobile phones are showing in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!New Technology AdvancesMoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size.

Do you find that you are more energetic and awake after eating yogurt or beans? These things are not accidents. Food affects how we feel more than we may think. Scientists researching food and its effect on our moods are beginning to understand that we can influence our feelings with what we eat.There are chemicals in our brains that control our moods. One of the most basic of these is serotonin (血清素) , one of the most commonly recognized. When serotonin levels increase, we feel more relaxed and happy; when the levels decrease, we feel unhappier. Proteins (蛋白质) found in nuts, vegetables, tofu and some milk products contain a chemical that makes us feel more awake and energetic.Another chemical that can easily affect our mood is caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine, which is found in coffee, chocolate and many types of tea, is perhaps the worst thing you can have when you are feeling stressed. Yet coffee or chocolate are often the first things people think of eating when they are under pressure. Caffeine and sugar can reduce your blood sugar level, which changes your brain chemistry and vitamin levels, making you feel even more stressed.Of course, enjoying a nice meal with friends, whatever we eat, can also affect how you feel. It is important not to worry about eating the right foods to control your mood. Most importantly, though, remember the old rule: try to eat different foods, and do not eat too much!5 .

Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Headsthe commander, and tailsthe peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?高二英语（第3页，共8页）高二英语（第4页，共8页）Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!8. What did the authors classmates think about his report?A. sad. B. Ridiculous.C. Boring. D. Puzzling.9. Why was the author confused about the task?A. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.B. He was unfamiliar with American history.C. He forgot his teachers instruction.D. He was new at the school.10.

In the end, the author turned things around _.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterDIt is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education dont. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isnt accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people dont need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.12. People with little education usually _.A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get a jobC. spend the best years to choose jobsD. have fewer chances to get a good job13. The earliest education was probably to _.A. make a man lead a better lifeB. teach a man to write and readC. make people get a way of livingD. teach people to read good books14.
