A
The film stars out as a normal day at a typical American high school. Friends chat in the dining room
and boys play football. But there's big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school-shooting and killing people.
This is Elephant. It stars real school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready-made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.
Although it may not sound very high quality, the film won the Palme d'Or (金棕奖) for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival.
The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.
The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house.
The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone---fun and friendly, or hard and lonely.
In many ways, the two boys, who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boy's mother as she serves them cakes and play the piano.
But there're hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied (欺负) at school. The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isn't blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games. In fact, the film doesn't offer any reason for why school violence happens.
\didn't want to explain anything. It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions,\said the 51-year-old director.
21．The lines of the film were ________. A. given by the director B. created by student actors
C. thought out by the director during the acting D. carefully designed by professional people
22． The film doesn't tell why school shootings happen________. A. so as to leave room for the audience to think and judge B. because life itself is the problem maker
C. because the mental problems of students are hard to explain D. but there are some hints of the reasons
23．The film is named Elephant because ________. A. an elephant is always gentle and never causes trouble
B. an elephant is a symbol of big problems in American schools C. elephant is used to suggest that the school crime is a big problem D. the two boys liked elephants when alive 24．What’s the passage mainly about？

A. It shows American school life. B. It introduces the film Elephant.
C. It tells people to be careful while in peace. D. It reports a school killing in a US school.
Let's face it. No one drinks diet sodas for the taste. People drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.
Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn't drink diet sodas. “What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain,” said Sharon Fowler.
The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.
While the findings are surprising，they also offer some explanations.
Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas, they don't lose weight at all. “We weren't seeing weight loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,” said Rogers.
So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet，but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas, and so over－compensate(弥补) for the missing calories.
A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice. “Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,” said Helen P. Hazuda, professor at School of Medicine of the University of Texas. “They may be free of calories, but not of consequences.”
25．People drink diet sodas to________. A. enjoy its taste B. stay in fashion C. achieve weight loss D. gain more energy 26．We can learn from the passage that________. A. regular sodas make people lose more weight B. diet soda drinkers tend to eat more food C. diet sodas do help reduce calories
D. most blood diseases come from diet sodas
27．The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to“________”. A. sweeteners
B. diet sodas and artificial sweeteners C. sodas
D. diet soda drinkers and sweetener takers
There is no denying that for more than a generation college education has been accepted without the slightest doubt. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high
