18、roup of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the shows “characters” grow older for real, and their stories are all real.“Coming-of-age” stories, as theyre known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone elses life, and

19、 we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also cant help but feel the cruelty of reality.

20、life.This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival.

25、 GeniusesB Actors Are Ordinary CharactersC Documentary Is Real LifeD Life Is One Big Story（D）Smokers may ignore the health warnings by telling themselves their habit makes them look cool. After all, sex symbols James Dean and Humphrey Bogart were rarely seen without a cigarette. However, the latest

26、evidence shows that smoking actually makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. Wrinkles from smoking a cigarette may be to blame for people judging non-smokers to be better-looking.This was the result of a study asking more than 500 people to pick the most attractive of twins where one smoked a

27、nd the other did not.
