Moutai Thanks the Hit Movie Wolf Warrior Ⅱ for Free Advertising
Chinese box office hit Wolf Warrior Ⅱ has received a thank-you letter from the president of China Kweichow Moutai (Group) Distillery Co., Ltd, the country's most famous brand of liquor, because of the scenes where the hero drank Moutai liquor in the movie.
The movie, which premiered (首映) on July 27,2017, tells the story of a former Chinese People's Liberation Army soldier protecting Chinese citizens and local factory workers in an African war zone.
The patriotic (爱国的) emotions have proven popular with audiences. By the end of September, Wolf Warrior Ⅱ had earned more than 5.6 billion yuan, breaking China's all-time box office record, set last year by Hong Kong comedy The Mermaid. Wu Jing, 43, both starred in and directed Wolf Warrior Ⅱ, whose prequel (前传) earned 525 million yuan in 2015.
On August 7, Yuan Renguo, president of Kweichow Moutai, congratulated Wu Jing on his success in an open letter on the company's website. “The movie has hit a new record and become a phenomenon,” Yuan wrote. “The movie is now synonymous (相同的) with patriotism. Your free advertising of Moutai in the movie has once more allowed this famous Chinese brand to impress the world.”
Yuan also added that the company had organized screenings of the film for its more than 30,000 employees, which improved their feelings of nationalism and “company cohesion (凝聚力)”.
Many moviegoers also said they were impressed by the patriotic plot of Wolf Warrior Ⅱ. Tong Yemeng, a 32-year-old office worker from Beijing, told Sixth Tone that she watched the film because of positive reviews from her colleagues and on the social media. “I felt so moved and proud of my country when I saw Wu Jing waving the national flag in the war zone,” she said. “It showed our increasing national power.”

Nobody likes feeling lonely, and isolation (孤立) isn't only a psychological problem. Loneliness increases a person's risk of death by 26 percent, an effect comparable to the health risks posed by obesity.
So some researchers are investigating what it is, exactly, that makes lonely people stay lonely. One long-held theory has been that people become socially isolated because of their poor social skills — as they spend more time alone, the few skills they do have start to fail from lack of use. But new research suggests that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the socially isolated. It's just that when they're in situations where they need those skills the most, they choke.
Professor Megan L. Knowles and her team tested the social skills of 86 undergraduates, showing them 24 faces on a computer screen and asking them to name the basic human emotion each face was showing:anger, fear, happiness, or sadness. In the end, the lonelier
students did worse than the non-lonely students on the emotion-reading task — but only when they were told they were being tested on their social skills. When the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge test, they performed better than the non-lonely.
So the lonelier people are, the better they are at accurately reading facial expressions and decoding tone of voice. Lonely people may be paying closer attention to emotional cues (暗示) precisely because of their willingness to belong somewhere and form interpersonal connections, which results in technically superior social skills.
This presents a fairly new way to think about lonely people. It's not that they need to improve the basics of social skills, which they've likely already shared. Instead, lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads, so they can actually use the skills they've got to form friendships and begin to find a way out of their isolation.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。一项研究表明孤独的人更擅长解读人的情感。 24.According to the traditional point of view, why do lonely people stay lonely? A.They are happy to stay alone. B.They are difficult to get along with.
C.They have few chances to practice social skills. D.They are likely to misunderstand others' opinion.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由第二段中的“One long-held theory ...the few skills they do have start to fail from lack of use”可知,传统观点认为,孤独的人之所以孤独是因为他们缺少与人交往的机会,导致社会技能退化。
25.In the test mentioned in Paragraph 3, the lonely performed better when they________.
A.felt not very lonely B.were under great pressure
C.were told it was a test on social skills D.did not know the real purpose of the test
解析:选D 细节理解题。由第三段末句“When the lonely were told they were just taking a general knowledge test,they performed better than the non-lonely”可知,当孤独的人不知道测试的真实意图时,他们在测试中的表现更好。
26.Compared to non-lonely people, lonely people________. A.can better control their emotions B.can better express their emotions C.can better read people's emotions D.can better handle people's emotions
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第三段中的实验结果及第四段首句“So the lonelier people
are, the better they are at accurately reading facial expressions and decoding tone of voice”可推断,孤独的人更擅长解读人们的情感。
27.What inspiration may lonely people get from the text? A.Be brave to make friends. B.Show sincerity in friendship. C.Find ways to learn social skills. D.Make good use of your lonely time.
解析:选A 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“lonely people may need to focus more on getting out of their own heads, so they can actually use the skills they've got to form friendships ...”可推断,孤独的人应该勇敢地交友。

Living among trees, plants and flowers can fill your life with beauty. And if you are a woman, it can also help you live longer.
Women who live in homes surrounded by plants appear to have lower death rates than women who live in areas with less green plants, according to a research.
Peter James and his team looked at information from one of the largest and oldest investigations of women's health: the Nurses' Health Study.
For the new study, the team looked at the death rates of more
than 100,000 women between the years 2008 and 2015. Then the researchers compared the death rates of these women to the green plants around their homes. To determine the amount of trees and other vegetation (植被), researchers examined satellite images.
To make it more believable, the researchers considered other risk factors — things such as the age of the women, their economic status, and race. They also looked at whether or not the women smoked.
Peter James says he and his team were surprised to find such a strong link between high vegetation levels and low death rates. He adds they were also surprised to find how high levels of plant life can affect a woman's mental health.
The study suggests that living among vegetation lowered levels of depression. Researchers say women in greener areas spent more time with other people, exercised more and were less exposed to air pollution.
One of the biggest effects of greenery appeared to be a lowered risk of cancer. Here are some numbers. The study found that women living in the greenest areas had a 13 percent lower rate of dying from cancer.
James says that it is common knowledge that vegetation helps the environment in many ways. But, he adds, the new findings suggest ways for city planners, landscape architects and policymakers to grow even healthier living areas.
