TWENTY-FIVE years ago director Stephen Spielberg captured the hearts of Western audiences with his family classic E. T. Now his Hong Kong director Stephen Chow is trying to do the same trick in
Chow's latest movie CJ7(《長江七號》)，in cinemas now，is a heart-warming story about a poor migrant worker(外來務工者) and his son. When a strange alien enters their lives，father and son learn a lesson about the value of family. Chow hopes his movie will help to make family films more popular in
Family films have been the main part of the Hollywood market for the last 40 years. They have given audiences movies like E. T. , Indiana Jones and
A family film is not simply a children's movie. It is a film that is not only suitable for children, but appeals to the whole family.
According to Raymound Zhou，a famous film critic，these films are rare in China because“very few families go to the cinema together”. Because of this，there is little demand for movies that attract the whole family.
However, in the West，it is common for the family to sit down and watch a movie together. Tim Bridges, from London，says：“I love it at Christmas when I sit down and watch a movie with my family. ”
All family films contain similar messages about being honest,remaining positive and learning there is more to life than money. According to the American movie reviewer，Dave Johnson, this is because“When parents watch a movie，they want their children to be learning good values”.
Just like when the alien in Spielberg's E. T. phones home to make contact with his family, Chow will hope Chinese audiences are tuned in and ready to receive his family movie message.

Our listener question this week comes from Abdullahi Farah, who wants to know about the life and work of Doctor Benjamin Carson.
Doctor Carson is an internationally recognized doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the hospital for twenty-five years. At the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest doctors in the United States to hold that position. And he was the first African-American to have that position at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Ben Carson is known for his work as a brain surgeon for children. For example, in nineteen eighty-seven, he led a team of seventy doctors and nurses in an operation to separate two babies joined at the head. Earlier attempts by other surgeons on other babies had failed. Doctor Carson successfully performed the operation. Both babies were able to survive independently.
Doctor Carson has written four books. His first book, "Gifted Hands," tells the story of his life. Benjamin Carson was born in nineteen fifty-one in Detroit, Michigan.
As a boy, Ben was not a good student. In fact, he was the worst in his class. When his mother learned of his failing grades she asked her sons to read two library books every week. She limited the amount of time they watched television. And she told them to respect every person.

Researchers in the United States have developed the first wirelessly controlled device that can supply a drug directly into the body. A small chip is implanted (植入) under the skin. It contains the medicine, which it releases at preset times. The developers say the device could improve the lives of millions of people who take medicine for long-term illnesses. A company called Microchips began developing the device about fifteen years ago. Last month, the company released the results of its first successful tests in humans. The tests took place in Denmark with seven women with osteoporosis（骨質(zhì)疏松癥）.
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and break easily. The disorder is common among older people especially women. Many patients have to give themselves daily injection（注射）of medicine. One type of treatment requires injections for two years. The patients stop taking the medicine because of the pain and stress of the injections. As a result, only twenty-five percent of the patients will go through the entire twenty-four months of treatment.
The microchip is a few centimeters long. It has small sections and each section holds a single dose（單次劑量）of medicine. The device has to be programmed with the times to release the drug. Doctors will be able to reprogram the device from a computer or even a cell phone.
For osteoporosis, the physician will program the device, and the device has the ability to release a dose at a given time, every single day. For other diseases, where the physician may want to change the dosing schedule, they will have the ability to wirelessly reprogram that dosing schedule.
The seven women in the study were ages of sixty-five to seventy. The researchers say the implants were just as effective as daily injections. And they say the medicine amounts were more exact than patients often give themselves.
1.The best title for the passage should be ______.
A．A New Company Called Microchips
B．A New Way to Take Medicine Every Day
C．Good News for Women with Osteoporosis
D．Taking Medicine, with Microchip under Skin
2.What does the underlined word “released” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Announced. B．Planned. C．Got rid of. D．Caught hold of.
3.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ______.
A．older people especially men easily develop steoporosis
B．bones’ becoming weak and breaking easily causes steoporosis
C．a(chǎn) quarter of the patients will go through the entire two years of treatment
D．pain and stress of the injections lead all patients to stop taking medicine
4.What advantages does the microchip have?
a. effective implants
b. less exact medicine amounts
c. purposely—changed dosing schedule
d. only one centimeter long and having small sections
e. improving the lives of millions of people
A．a(chǎn), b, c B．c, d, e C．a(chǎn), c, e D．b, c, d
5.In which column of a newspaper could we find this passage?
A．Arts. B．Jobs. C．Sports. D．Medicine.

閱讀下列段文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
A poor traveller stopped under the tree to eat the boiled rice and vegetables which he had brought with him. A few metres away, there was a small shop by the side of the road where a woman was frying (油炸)fish and selling it to travelers. The woman watched the poor traveler carefully, and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, “You haven’t paid me for the fried fish!”
“But I have not had any fried fish!” he said.
“But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell of my fried fish with your rice and vegetables,” said the woman, “If you had not smelled the fish, your meal would not have been so pleasant!”
Soon a crowd collected, and although they supported the poor traveler, they had to admit that wind was blowing from the shop to the place where he had eaten, and that it had carried the smell of the fried fish to him.
Finally, the woman took the poor traveler to a judge, who said, “The woman says that the traveler ate his meal with the smell of her fried fish. The traveler agrees that the wind was blowing from the woman’s shop to the place where he ate his rice and vegetables, and that it carried the smell of her fried fish to his nose while he was eating, so he must pay for it. What does your fried fish cost?” he asked the woman.
“Twenty-five cents a plate,” she answered, delighted.
“Then go outside together,” said the judge. “There the traveler must hold up a twenty-five-cent piece so that its shadow（影子）falls on the woman’s hand. The price of the smell of a plate of fried fish is the shadow of twenty-five cents.”

A. he was poor B. he was rude
