The mvies that made the mst mney in ticket sales in the USA last year was Harry Ptter and the Philspher's Stne.It has made mre than 294 millin dllars since it pened in Nvember.
The mve is based n the internatinal best selling bk f the same name by British writer JK Rwling.It tells the same stry as the first bk in the Harry Ptter series.Harry learns that he has magical pwers and spends his first year at Hgwarts Schl f Witchcraft and Wizardry.
As the mvie was pening in Nvember, its actrs were beginning t film a mvie based n the secnd bk in the series. Harry Ptter and the Chamber f Secrets. It will pen next Nvember. It will be interesting t see if the secnd mvie is as ppular as the first ne.

E-mail has brught the art f letter writing back t life, but sme experts think the resulting spread f bad English des mre harm than gd.
Email is a frm f cmmunicatin that is changing, fr the wrse, the way we write and use language, say sme cmmunicatin researchers. It is als changing the way we interact and build relatinships. These are a few f the recently recgnized features（特征）f e-mail, say experts, that shuld cause individuals(个人) and rganizatins t rethink the way they use e-mail.
“E-mail has increased the spread f careless writing habits, ” says Nami Barn, a prfessr f linguistics（语言学家）at American University. She says the pr spelling, grammar, punctuatin and sentence structure f e-mails reflect a grwing uncncern t the way we write.
Barn argues that we shuld nt frgive and frget the pr writing ften shwn in e-mails.
"The mre we use e-mail and its tasteless writing the mre it becmes the nrmal way f writing. " the prfessr says.
Others say that despite its pr prse（无聊的议论）, e-mail has finished what several generatins f English teachers culdn't : It has made writing fashinable again.
"E-mail is a critical（重要的）new cmmunicatin technlgy, " says Lancashire, a university f Trnt prfessr f English. " it fills the gap between spken language and the frmal methds f writing that existed befre e-mail. It is the purest frm f written speech."
Lancashire says e-mail has the mysterius ability t get peple wh are usually scared（惊吓）by writing t get their thughts flwing easily nt a blank screen. He says this is because f e-mail's clse similarity t speech. “ it's like a circle f fur r five peple arund a campfire, ” he says.
Still, he accepts that this new-fund freedm t express themselves ften gets peple int truble. "Almst every day I get e-mails that are aplgies f previus e-mails, " he reprts.
In the US, the number f e-mails sent in a day exceeds the number f letters mailed in a year. But mre peple are recgnizing the cntent f a typical e-mail message that is nt ften exact.
58. Frm what Barn, a prfessr f linguistics, says in paragraph 3 we can find that_.
A. careless peple use mre e-mail than careful peple.
B. E-mail requires peple t change their native language.
C. Prfessrs in universities dn't need t use e-mail.
D. Peple cmmunicate in e-mail full f mistakes.
59. In Lancashire's pinin, e-mail is a wnderful technlgy fr peple because ____.
A. it can be used by everyne all ver the wrld.
B. it is the fastest way fr peple t cmmunicate.
C. peple can express themselves in a free way.
D. peple can save a lt f paper t write n.
60. This passage shws us that ____.
A. peple shuld stp using e-mail t cmmunicate
B. Americans nly use e-mail t cmmunicate
C. experts hld different pinins abut e-mail
D. e-mail makes peple lse interest in English
61. The underlined wrd “exceed” in the passage means ____.
A. be greater than B. be faster than C. be shrter than D. be smaller than
C)

Shpping fr clthes is nt the same experience fr men as it is fr a wman. A man ges shpping because he needs smething. He knws what he wants and his purpse is t find it and buy it, the price is less imprtant cnsideratin. All men simply walk int a shp and ask the assistant fr what they want. If the shp has it, the assistant immediately takes it ut, and the business f trying it n is dne at nce. All being well, the bargain(讨价还价) can be and ften is cmpleted in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and t everyne’s satisfactin.
Fr a man, slight prblem may begin when the shp des nt have what he wants. Then the salesman tries t sell the buyer smething else. He says, “ I knw this jacket is nt the style (式样) yu want, sir but wuld yu like t try it n fr the size? It may be the clr yu wanted.” The usual reply is, “This is the right clr and may be the right size, but I shuld be wasting my time and yurs by trying it n?”
Nw hw des a wman g abut buying clthes? She des s in the ppsite way. She has never fully made her mind what she wants. She is nly “having a lk rund.” She is always pen t persuasin, indeed she cnsiders f great imprtance what the salesman tells her, even what her friends tell her. She will try n any number f things. Highest in her mind is the thught f finding smething that everyne thinks fits her. Mst wmen have an excellent sense f value when they buy clthes. They are always trying t find an expected bargain. Faced with a rmful f clthes, a wman may easily spend an hur ging frm ne cunter(柜台) t anther befre selecting the dresses she wants t try n. It takes a great deal f time but gives great jy. Mst shps supply chairs fr the waiting husbands.
67. When a man is buying clthes, he____.
A. puts price befre quality
B. chses things that thers think fit him
C. des nt mind much the price he has t pay fr the right things
D. buys gd quality things, s lng as they d nt cst t much
68. When a man cannt get what he wants, he____.
A. buys smething f the same clr in a slightly different style
B. usually try n sme ther clthes f the same style
C. usually des nt buy anything
D. wastes n time in buying smething else

B. Wmen seldm cnsider buying cheap clthes.
C. Wmen ften buy things withut thinking.
