24、Eighteen days after its premier (首映), The Battle at Lake Changjin has got over 4.8 billion yuan and broke 24 records in Chinese film history, including becoming the first Chinese film to break 400 million yuan at the daily box office for six days.

The Battle at Lake Changjin is just one of several nationalist films that have become big commercial (商业的) hits in China in recent years, but its influence across the country is unheard-of. Its biggest highlight is that it has achieved a high degree of national empathy (共情) and cultural output (输出) for Chinese films heading overseas, which is a hard-to-reach achievement for other commercial movies.

People were deeply moved by the Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPVs) in this movie. According to a video online, students from a middle school experience how Chinese soldiers ate fried flour and frozen potatoes on the field after watching the film. In a shaking voice with tears, one student says how they need to value their hard-won lives without complaining anymore.

Similarly, a video of a young woman in Southwest’s China’s Yunnan Province eating frozen potatoes has gone viral on social media (媒体). In the video, the woman makes a lot of efforts to bite off just a small piece, then bursts into tears.

The “Changjin Lake Effect (效应)” has reached the whole society to inspire the strong love of our country and led the world to reexamine that period of history and listen to the voice of China.

We seem to have become used to watching all-powerful superheroes flying across the big screen and accepting cultural input from the West, but this time, The Battle at Lake Changjin is a movie that truly belongs to the Chinese, and has shaped Chinese heroes and tells a good Chinese story. It comes at just the right time.

The Battle at Lake Changjin is from real history. CPVs are true heroes compared with those that only live in movies.

【1】About The Battle at Lake Changjin, the first paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．its daily box office record

B．its commercial value

【3】The underlined phrase “gone viral” is similar to “________”.

A．made much money

B．caused a lot of trouble

C．become less popular

D．drew lots of attention

【4】According to the passage, the biggest “Changin Lake Effect” could be ________.

25、阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下列各题。

In the past, many students practiced English with their pen friends — they sent letters to people all around the world. However, we now send emails to others and chat with people who live quite far away on the Internet.

Here’s some advice on how to succeed in your online language exchanges:

How to start a conversation when speaking English online

When you speak to somebody online, start by asking “Yes or No” questions. Use questions such as “Do you like …?” or “Can you …?” or “Have you ever …?”

Remember your goal. You are trying to learn about the other person. Think about things you enjoy and try to find some common ground between you. And share your own experiences to show that you have similar interests. If you only ask questions, you will sound like a policeman or a policewoman!

How to keep a conversation going

“Listen” carefully. In that way, you can get to know somebody well. When you know him or her well, you will have more to talk about.

Then ask follow-up questions. After you “listen”, use what you “hear” to learn more about that person. Use “open ended” questions, such as “What do you think of …?” or “What was the most interesting experience ...?”

Remember some basic rules for online language exchanges.

Be patient. Do not try to find a good friend right away.

Be careful. Don’t give any personal information on the Internet, especially your address, telephone number, and even your real name.
