alternative universe with a vivid imagination and toothless, the heros hunting dragon, thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of a lifetime. however, if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version, you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children. lets look at where the wild things are for further discussion. the story centers around a lonely eight-year-old boy named max, who sails away to an island. creatures living there declare max their king. what an amazing piece of childrens literature! a treasure for every childs library. yet, children were crying in the movie theatre. owls were falling from the sky, chickens arms were being torn off, and a child was running around a dark abandoned world fighting evil as the only human. it was almost as if hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content. hollywood might be right. but more and more its audience are complaining that there is an increased amount of violence in childrens stories today than in the past. while there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children, books and literature are generally an exception. i truly believe that childrens literature has become more vivid, and more colorful. this is a great treasure for the children, and is certainly not violent. what has changed the childrens stories of today is not the writers, but the film industry. in some way, childrens literature is just being strangely twisted（扭曲）. i wonder how much influence the authors have over this.5. the text is mainly about _. a. two good books for children b. how a book is adapted into a film c. whether children should go to the movies d. whether childrens movie is getting more violent6. it can be inferred that the film where the wild things are is _. a. movingb. frighteningc. interestingd. amazing7. according to the text, the author thinks that _. a. the film industrys treatment of childrens literature is wrong b. writers should provide more colorful works for children c. there is an increase in violence in childrens literature d. children should read books rather than see filmsc today, mount qomolangmas peak is not a lonely place any more. more than 3,500 people have successfully climbed the 8,844m mountain, and more than a tenth of that number reached the peak just over the past year. as more and more people try to test themselves against qomolangma, many a time the mount can be very crowded. climbers have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks（狭窄路段） on the way to the peak. if bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die. but the dangerous crowds arent the only problem on qomolangma. all those climbers need to bring a lot of gearmuch of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. mount qomolangma is becoming the worlds tallest rubbish dump. heres mountaineer mark jenkins writing in national geographic about the state of qomolangma: the two standard routes, the northeast ridge and the southeast ridge, are not only dangerously crowded but also badly polluted. but the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up qomolangma. mountaineer paul thelen and his friend eberhard schaaf are part of the annual eco everest expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. so far theyve collected over 13 tons of garbage. some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. as part of the mount everest 8844 art project, a group of 15 artists from nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. theyve changed the cans and oxygen tanksin one case, part of the remains of a helicopterinto 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in nepals capital. part of the profit from sales will go to the everest peakeers association, which has helped collect tons of

qomolangma has become a huge mess c. eco everest expedition proves successful d. how to climb qomolangmad for every woman who feels like shes had to scale back her personal ambitions since becoming a mother, gold medal cyclist kristin armstrong has a message: dont give up on your dreams. she retired after winning gold in beijing to start a family; son lucas arrived in 2010, but then she decided to compete again in the london olympics. she won a gold medal at last. the decision to start training again wasnt easy. i struggled with that a lot, she told a newspaper. “at the beginning i felt selfish, i felt like, well, im not supposed to be thinking of myself anymore. its all supposed to be for my kid.” she faced physical challenges of getting back into competition shape after giving birth, as well. when she started racing in the spring of 2011, she was still breast-feeding; she would nurse her son, then race, then breast-feed again after the race. her days revolved around lucas and training. i feel like im able to do what i love to do and still manage a family and have that balance, armstrong said. that you have a family or a child doesnt mean that you have to stop going after what you dream of individually.” armstrong makes balance look easy, whether its on her bike or as an athlete-mom. but she points out that you cant have it all without making some sacrifices. for example, dont expect a neat homeher husband, joe savola, who she describes as her support system and her protector, says hes had to give up on trying to keep everything orderly at home and just accept that their living room has become lucass playroom. for armstrong, shes sacrificed time with friends who had kids around the same agethere just wasnt time. now, she says, that sounds like fun to me. as
