About the movie

    It is the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (finally) part of the Hobbit movie trilogy, and it came out in the US on Dec 17. The main character Bilbo Baggins is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of fantasy's most famous heroes. In the movie, he helps the dwarves to get their kingdom back from the dragon Smaug, and also fights an {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(expect) group of enemies. He shows that true heroics are not the absence of fear, but {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(have) that fear and doing something anyway.

Difficulties Freeman once had

    He {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(use) be overshadowed (使逊色) by Benedict Cumberbatch, his co-star in Sherlock. He seemed to be unable to take the role in the Hobbit trilogy because of his role in Sherlock.

His personality and habits

    He is known {#blank#}6{#/blank#} being outspoken and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(describe) as “direct and mean”. He is so old {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he doesn't use computers much, so he prefers his scripts to be mailed to him rather than e-mailed. He doesn't drive, and he's not interested in {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(hang) out with celebrities at clubs. He said he always saw the world in a funny way and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(learn) not to care about being criticized.

David will never forget what happened to him the day before yesterday. He was eating something at home{#blank#}1{#/blank#} he received a strange phone call from a hospital. The caller said that his son{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(fall) to the ground unconscious on the way to school. It was he {#blank#}3{#/blank#}took him to the hospital. David hung up his cell phone and rushed to his son's classroom, only to find him listening to the teacher attentively. He suddenly realized that he had been cheated, but he felt {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(relieve). Just at that time the phone rang again, saying, "Your son is in great danger and he needs {#blank#}5{#/blank#}immediate operation which costs 48,000 yuan. The doctors here say they will not operate {#blank#}6{#/blank#}your son until they receive the money." When{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(ask) from where the caller had taken his son to hospital, the caller rang off. David gave a big smile and said. "What a pity!"

If the cheater thought he could get money from David in such a（an）{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(honest)way, he was wrong. Such phone calls are common these days. A few of them might have fallen victims to such tricks. Most parents are sensitive to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. It was really silly to cheat well—educated men like David.

    Believe it or not, it's a true story. The{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(colleague)in his office can confirm it, such as Tom, Peter and so on.

    In Chinese culture, each year is related to{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Chinese animal according to the 12-year cycle. 2018 is an Earth Dog Year. People born during the year of dog {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (believe) to take after some of the animal's characteristics, such as loyalty, patience, and reliability.

    Zodiac(黄道) theory also relates to Chinese elemental theory, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}associates the 12 animals with one of five elements :metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five elements {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (combine) with the 12 zodiac signs produce a 60-year cycle. Zodiac animals have both fixed and non-fixed elements attached {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them. For example, the dog (as well as the dragon, ox, and goat) is always associated with the earth element. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the year of 2018 is considered an earth year according to the Chinese solar calendar, those born in 2018 are considered earth dogs, which carry characteristics like being communicative and responsible at work. Though dogs are{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(general) associated with earth, those born during the metal dog year are believed to be conservative and{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (caution)in nature. As Dogs are not good at communication, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is difficult for them to convey their thoughts to others. Therefore, Dogs tend to leave others with the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (impress) that they have a stubborn personality, but they are indeed loyal to their families and friends.
