If you want to know something about British life, their spirit, and even their humor, watching some classic
British films will certainly help. Here are some recommended to you.
Notting Hill
After the success of his film Four Weddings and a Funeral, writer and producer Richard Curtis captured the
essence of being British in 1999’s Notting Hill. Set against the background of affluent (富足的) West London, the
film became popular for its charming and funny portrayal(刻画) of a British nobody trying to impress a Hollywood
star.
The Full Monty
This 1997 film is a Sheffield-based comedy about six unemployed men who form a group to make money for

After Chika, my adopted daughter, received her treatment in the US, I took her back to Haiti to see the
orphanage (孤儿院) numerous times. On one of these times, I got to know that Chika’s father was still alive and
sound, in a place known as Tabarre. As a matter of fact, I had been told that he might also be dead.
I drove to his house. Stepping out in front me was her father, a short, strong man with a broad mustache. I said
to him that I came because of Chika’s medical condition — the brain tumor (肿瘤). I explained that her life could
be in the balance. I then inquired if it was significant for Chika to be buried in Haiti. He responded by saying, “It
doesn’t mean. Whatever you think.”
I eventually came to my utmost mission. I requested him to see his daughter — and her to see him — perhaps
because, deep down, I doubted about another chance. Yet as we drove back, there was part of me feeling as if I had
been nudged (轻推) to the side of the picture. Although I have done much for Chika, this man has a certain claim
that I never have.
Yours, not yours! The paperwork at the orphanage was signed by me. It obligates me to feed, educate, and
protect Chika. But in the end, it is a document, not parenthood. Yours, not yours! I wrestled with this question many
times. Chika, remember what you once asked? How did you find me? I promised myself you would never feel lost
again.
After two hours, the father walked over, shook my hand, and left. That night, Chika rested her head upon my
shoulder and after a few seconds mumbled, “Dad? What will you do while I sleep?”
“I’ll read,” I said. “And think about how much I love you.”
She nodded, her eyes glowed. “That’s what I’ll do too.”
At that moment, I didn’t care who belonged to whom. I was hers, even if she were not mine.
4. Why did I call on Chika’s father?
A. To accuse him of his fake death.
B. To ask him about Chika’s condition.
C. To invite him to see Chika one last time.
D. To persuade him of our legal parenthood.
5. What does the underlined phrase “in the balance” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Evaluated. B. Unexplained. C. Lengthened. D. Undetermined.
6. How did I feel as I drove Chika’s father back?
A. Unclear and angry. B. Eager and relieved.
C. Uneasy and troubled. D. Embarrassed and bored.
7. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. My Love, Not Mine! B. Who Is “Legal” Father?
C. Your Father, Not Yours! D. Who Belongs to Whom?
C
Halloween candy could be in for a California big change. State lawmakers last month passed the California
Food Safety Act, which bans four materials found in popular snacks and packaged foods - including candy corm
and other Halloween treats. Set to take effect in 2027, the ban will lead candy and food producers to change their
formulas for products sold both in California and elsewhere around the country.
The law bans the production and sale of some materials, which are used in processed foods including kinds of
instant potatoes and sodas, as well as candies. The additives (添加剂) have been linked to increased risks of cancer
and nervous system problems, according to the Environmental Working Group, which started the act, and are
already banned in many other countries.
Food producers and their lobbyists (说客) opposed the law, arguing the conclusion that the four additives are
unhealthy should be made by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They thought that evaluating the safety of
food materials and additives should rely on the scientific accuracy of the FDA. But food safety advocates say the
FDA has moved far too slowly in regulating food chemicals. It’s unacceptable that the U.S. is so far behind the rest
of the world when it comes to food safety.
California’s act made headlines this year as a “Skittles ( 彩 虹糖 ) ban” that would wipe popular candies off
California shelves. But supporters of the act said the intention is simply to require changes in the materials, as has
already happened in Europe. Perhaps the most standing-out material on California’s banned list is red dye No. 3. It
is allowed only in candied and cocktail cherries in the European Union but more than 3,000 products contain the
chemical in the U. S. The list includes items like frosted pretzels and scores of brand-name candies such as Peeps
