A
Chinese fans might just be on cloud nine right
now since the movie Spirited Away has finally been
scheduled for
a June 21 release in Chinese
mainland. The movie made by Studio Ghibli was
originally released in 2001 and quickly
gained
fame around the world for the fascinating and
thrilling story it offers. It follows the
adventures of a
10-year-old girl named
Chihiro, voiced by Zhou Dongyu, as she wanders
around the spirit world to bring her parents
back to their original form after turning into
pigs. In the magical world, she encounters
challenges and a cunning
witch, voiced by Wang
Lin, who wants to keep Chihiro as her servant
forever. She also meets a boy named Haku,
voiced by Jing Boran, who will help her
through the journey, Peng Yuchang gives life to
Kaonashi, and Tian
Zhuangzhuang takes the role
of Kamaji.
Spirited Away remains to this day
the only non-English language title to earn the
Best Animated Feature prize. It
is also the
highest grossing film in Japanese history. The
anime grossed over $$275 million in Japan during
its initial
release, out-grossing such box
office-Titanic. Studio Ghibli films have remained
popular in China. It’s currently the
second
Studio Ghibli film to make its way in China, the
first being My Neighbor Totoro which was digitally
remastered and shown in Chinese mainland
cinemas last December.
Anime has long been
popular with audiences and $$83 million of Your

The
first day of school our professor challenged us to
get to know someone we didn’t already know. I
turned
round to find a wrinkled, little old
lady looking at me with a smile that lit up her
entire being.
She said, “Hi, handsome. My name
is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give
you a hug?”
I laughed and enthusiastically
responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a
giant squeeze.
We became instant friends.
Every day for the next three months, we would
leave class together and talk nonstop.
Over
the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon
and she easily made friends wherever she went.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to
speak at our football banquet. After being
introduced, she cleared
her throat and began.
“We do not stop playing because we are old, we
grow old because we stop playing. There are
only four secrets to staying young, being
happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and
find humor every day.
You’ve got to have a
dream. When you lose your dreams, you will die. We
have so many people walking around who
are
dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge
difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed
for one full year and don’t do one productive
thing, you will turn
twenty
years old. If I am eighty- seven years old and
stay in bed for a year and never do anything. I
will turn
eighty-eight.
The elderly
usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but
rather for things we did not do. The only people
who
fear death are those with regrets.”
She concluded her speech by courageously
singing “The Rose”. She challenged each of us to
study the lyrics and
live them out in our
daily lives. Rose taught us by example that it is
never too late to realize our dreams.
5. Which

Ambitious and strict. B. Positive and optimistic.

kind-hearted.

the football banquet probably because ________.
A. she was a big football fan B. she was a
well-educated professor
C. she was an
outstanding student D. she was an inspiring figure
7. What does the underlined sentence imply?
A. If you regret nothing, you won’t fear
death.
B. If you fear death, you will regret
something.
C. People regret something when
they face death.
D. People die with regrets
because of what they have done.
8. What is the
best title for the passage?
A. My best friend
B. Dream in heart
C. Secrets to success D.
Accepting challenges

When you’re a teenager, of course, you want to
stress the difference between your age group and
the older
generation, and changing the
language you use is a great way to do this.
One way in which teens change their language
is to introduce new vocabulary or change the
meaning of existing
words. ____17____. Bad
suddenly meant good and sick took on the meaning
of very cool. These uses don’t last for
long,
though. They change again very quickly.
___18___. One example of a teen-led change is
the fashionable use among some young people of
innit (a
shortened form of isn’t it) as a
substitute for all question tags. Although some
people are concerned that this trend
towards
“text-speak” is harming the language, Professor
David Crystal doesn’t agree. According to him, the
fact that
teens use “text-speak”, shortened
words and even emoticons does not mean the end of
the language. Texting is just a
new type of
English that has evolved as a result of Internet
technology. ____19____.
Although teenagers are
often criticized for ignoring linguistic rules and
ruining the language, we should bear in
mind
that languages are not fixed. ____20____. New
vocabulary develops as speakers need new words to
match the
new things in their lives, Grammar
also changes over time, which explains why many
present-day speakers find
Shakespeare’s
sixteenth-century plays difficult to read.
____21____, but realizing that language change is
normal and
unavoidable and that teens are
important to this process might help the older
generations to sleep better at night.
A. Young
people also make changes to grammar
B. It
hasn’t had any influence on the rest of the
language
C Adults may not like the way teens
speak to each other
D. They all change
naturally over time for a lot of reasons
E.
Young people tend to adapt themselves to new
language
F. We continue to need to create many
new words and phrases these days
G. Some
recent examples of teen-speak show how big these
changes in meaning can be
