     About twenty years ago,Gao Xiaosong wrote the lyrics(歌词)of the classic folk song My old Classmate that touched millions of hearts.Now,as the producer of the new youth film of the same title,he is trying to do it again.

Starring Zhou Dongyu,22,and Lin Gengxin,26,My Old Classmate follows the pair's life and love from middle school,when they are tablemates(同桌),through high school, college and beyond their graduation.

    In the first half hour,audiences(观众)constantly see the symbolic items(标志性物品)of the early 1990s,including pencil boxes and comic books.

The film also mentions important events that took place during the period from 1993 to 2013,including China's entry into the World'Frade Organization,the terrorist attacks against the US on Sept.11,2001,and the 2002 SARS outbreak in China.This attention to detail brings back many memories, especially among those who were born in the 1980s.

Then there's the main focus:the first love between Zhou's and Lin's characters.The film doesn't have a fairy tale(童话)ending,but director Guo Fan's way of storytelling is quite impressive.If audiences can see a little bit of themselves in the film,it has fulfilled its goal.And those who are experiencing their sweet first love need not worry too much,because no matter how it ends,the precious memories of it will always stay.

 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn off the lights for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think. 

The towns that we have lived in for centuries have changed a lot, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. In every home there will be a "telepresence" system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating(暖气)and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯)will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. 

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. 

About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to solve the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener." said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中选出最佳选项。

 According to a research more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura's country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply (供应). It is a sad fact especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.

 When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters (庇护所) in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed& find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.

 How does it work? Through an app, Feed& amp; Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.

 Pretty cool, right? It's not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura hoping that she could have developed similar projects for their communities.

 Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.

 阅读下列材料, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

 Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying?

 It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine(多巴胺). Dopamine is a" pleasure chemical" that makes people feels good. Our brains give it out when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we get a prize.

 Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine. But why?

 When we visit social media, we don't know what we'll see next, or who will give opinions about things we post. This" magic of maybe", makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from our friends. When our expectations are met, dopamine is given out.

 And to find more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn't provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily.

 Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits on apps to avoid overusing them.

" As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward yourself for it" said Daniel Wong, writer of The Happy Student," You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use what you' ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn".
