    Film reviews of The Silver Glove

    The Silver Bore

    Daniel Jones

    If you've ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is something very unprofessional out of filmmaker college.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.Great support acting from the Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar is the only striking aspect.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Angela Moore

    I just loved this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one terrifying battle scene to the next {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Chief pirate, British actor Colin Williams, is given all the best, wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The storm scene at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.

    A Hidden Treasure

    Max Court

    I found this film absolutely delightful. An inspiring cast is directed with great skill and invention by German Dieter Muller. The ship chase creates a lot of tension and excitement.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Mystery lovers will expect their appetites to be fully satisfied.

    Sharp Sword Drama

    William Wilson

    The Silver Glove is an action-packed pirate drama in the best traditions of this type. If you only want sword fights and buried treasure, you may be disappointed as this fascinating film also offers a complex plot which is never dull. Some of the language may be too crude for younger children,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} . But this is really my only complaint. Some fine acting completes this fun movie.

G. and you knew what was going to happen in the film.

    I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier (收银台) in her general store. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying "thank you. "

    At first I was paid in candy. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a. m. to 7 p. m. My father helped me set up a bank account. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics (化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as "What color do you think I should wear?" I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup (化妆) ideas. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn't need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.

B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

C. I ended my selling a record amount of cosmetics.

D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.

E. My grandma's trust taught me how to handle responsibility.

F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.

    Healthy habits that stick

    Here are five rules that helped me develop good habits.

    ⒈Pick habits you honestly want to have

    I didn't choose habits I thought I should add because of what anyone else was doing. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It was about listening to myself.

    ⒉Build your habit your own way

    When I started to build up an exercise routine(习惯), I only went when I wanted to go. For me, that was around 2 pm every day. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} If I wanted to do 20 minutes on the bike, I'd do only 20 minutes and then leave.

    ⒊Start small

    I knew that if I tried to take on too much, I'd find a way to make an excuse. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I started with two minutes of exercise, which were finally built up to 10, then 20 minutes. I realized that just doing something, no matter how small, meant I was more likely to do it again the next day.

    ⒋Be kind to yourself

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} When I got a cold and missed several days of exercise, I didn't beat myself up. Instead of punishing myself, I tried to love myself — and that had a more enjoyable and lasting effect.

    ⒌Celebrate every small victory

    When I began keeping a diary every morning, I put a number in the corner of each page to show how many diaries I had written. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Finally, after I filled up a notebook, I celebrated buying a new notebook.

A. If I missed a day, I let it go.

B. I can make exercise less boring.

C. So my daily purposes were very small.

D. I celebrated my pen running out of ink.

E. It wasn't about keeping up with other people.

F. I should celebrate my success with my friends.

G. It also meant that I would do whatever I wanted to do once I got there.

    Training for a marathon (马拉松) requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.

    During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. After two weeks, start timing yourself. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter, you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race.
