38、pingE17、Emma Waston, 26, brings her childhood Disney hero to life. The British actress played the beautiful girl Belle in Disneys new live-action movie Beauty and the Beast. She also sang for the role, the first time she has done so in her career.The movie came out on March 17, 2017. It tells how a

39、cursed (被诅咒的) man-beast is changed into a handsome prince by the love of Belle.To star in the role, Waston turned down the offer of La La Land, which won six awards including the Best Actress at this years Oscars. However, she does not regret it. She told Vanity Fair that she believes the movie says

40、 something that is important for people to hear.This is not her first time being invited to play a Disney princess. She refused to offer to play Cinderella. But she happily took on Belle because she saw her as a better role model. Belle doesnt mind Beasts ugly appearance and sees his good heart with

41、in. “She remains curious, compassionate (富有同情心的) and open-minded,” she told Total Film. “She is not easily changed by other peoples ideas.But to build her own version of Belle, Waston had a hand in shaping the character. She wanted Belle to be busy instead of just playing in the castle all day. So s

42、he had the idea of turning Belle into an inventor, like her father. And Belle even made a washing machine herself, though people broke it.

43、ic of people breaking Belles spirit and pushing her to become the woman they wanted her to be.1According to the passage, Emma Waston _ .Ais a 26-year-old actress from America Bhas both good voice and performanceCsang for the role in La La Land Dplayed the role of Cinderella2Waston decided to take on

We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different

46、 from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively (相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man wi

47、ll continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity (容量.) As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about

48、 a physical change too. The head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On t

49、he other hand, we tend (有的趋势) to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive (敏感的) because they are used a great deal in modern life.What about hair? This will probably disappear from the body alto

50、gether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!Perhaps, all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive (有吸引力的) person to look at! This may well be true. All the same, bes

51、ides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.1Future man is probably to be different from us in _ ways.Atwo Bthree Cfour Dfive2Future mans head will grow larger because _.Ahe will use his brain m

52、ore and more as time goes onBhe makes use only 80% of the brains capacityCthe other 80% of his brain will grow fasterDhis brain has grown larger over the past centuries3What will be probably TRUE about the man in the future?AHe will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.BHis fingers will grow weaker because he wont use them.CHe will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.DHe will think and feel in a different
