Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life

— his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned

inspired Nielsen to make a career（职业） in acting. Even though he often felt he would be

discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood

Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However,

becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years

until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.

But even then, what he had wasn 't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be

doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It

wasn 't until1980 - 32 years into his career —- that he landed the role it would seem he was

made for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his

comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers

would not rate it highly.

Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the

comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a

sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner.

He never stopped working, never retired.

Leslie Nielsen's devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful

career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even

a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.

（1）Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?

enjoyed watching movies.

was eager to earn money.

wanted to be like his uncle.

felt he was good at acting.

（2）What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career?

directed some high quality movies.

the words in a dictionary.

avoided taking on new challenges

focused on playing dramatic roles.

became a successful comedy actor.

（3）What does Nielsen 's career story tell us?

is long, life is short.

who laughs last laughs longest.

's never too late to learn.

there's a will there's a way.

We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from

home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do

after school is pick up a screen — any screen —- and stare at it for hours. They are not alone.

Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split

between watching television and using the Internet.

In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming

up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised

that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he

was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without getting a response. He

realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed

himself "marketing director for Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating

nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film

which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group of organisations with the common goal

of getting children out into nature.

"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference, " David Bond says. "There is a lot of

really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to

the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life. " His own children have got into

the habit of playing outside now. "We just send them out into the garden and tell them not

to come back in for a while. "

Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much

as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.

（1）What is the problem with the author 's children?

often annoy the neighbours.

are tired of doing their homework

have no friends to play with

stay in front of screens for too long.

（2）How did David Bond advocate his idea?

making a documentary film

organizing outdoor activities

advertising in London media

creating a network of friends

（3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2

s

（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?

Children Have Fun

Children Need More Free Time

Nature to Children

Bond: A Role Model for Children

If you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look content or annoyed,

you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and

angry human faces, according to a new study.

Researchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images（图像）of the same

person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was

shown only the upper half or the lower half of the person's face. The researchers then tested

the dogs' ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other

half of the person's face or images totally different from the ones used in training. The

researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a

picture of it with their noses more often than one would expect by random chance.

The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human

faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule out that the dogs simply

distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth, " said

study author Corsin Muller. "Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized

that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an

angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes. "

"With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can

distinguish human facial expressions, " Muller told Live Science.

At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize

different facial expressions in humans. "To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that

the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial

expressions, " and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to

distinguish between them, Muller said.

You've got mail ... and it's a postcard

a somewhat unlikely place. online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who

575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago.（3）

________Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.

Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a

common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As

cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one

doesn't understand it（4）________So a common language is required and in postcrossing

that's English since it's widely spoken

"Many people in China have limited exposure to English（5）________That said, we know

of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English

skills through their use of postcrossing, " Paulo says.
