21、   When it comes to making television historical documentaries, there are few places and periods that British television audiences have not been taken by presenter Michael Wood. Earlier this year he became the first filmmaker from outside China to make a film about the life and work of poet Du Fu. The Du Fu film, featuring famous British actor Ian McKellen reading his poems, was shown on the BBC and China Central Television, and the reaction was instant and positive.

“It created a lot of interest and feedback in China and got a lot of coverage at the time, which was really touching, because when you go into a foreign culture as an outsider, to make a film about something of theirs, you want to make sure you’ve got it right.” Wood said.

As shown in the documentary, Du Fu’s works are learnt by heart by Chinese school students, but outside the country, he is not that well known. So, there is something Wood is keen to put right.

Stephen Owen, one of his leading translators from Harvard says, “Du Fu should be considered alongside Shakespeare and Dante as people who helped compose the emotional vocabulary of their culture.”

For more than 40 years, China has always held the most fascination for Wood. He first got interested in China when he was at school and picked up a book called Poems of the late Tang by AC Graham. “That book opened a window to a world that I never even dreamed.” he said. In the early 80s, it was the first time he had been to China. “I really enjoyed being with the people, who were so friendly and sociable. I remember coming back from my first long trip there feeling genuinely sad to go home.” Wood said.

Opening up discussion and encouraging cultural links is something Wood also does through his involvement. “We believe in dialogue. We try to promote mutual understanding and respect, and we want to help people in the West understand the culture of China better and to get rid of major areas of misunderstanding.” he said. “I did a series called The Story of England years ago, telling the history of the country over the centuries through the life of one village, and I’d love to try something like that in China.”

【1】What makes the Du Fu film special?

A．Michael Wood’s making the film.

B．Ian Mckellen’s reading Du Fu’s poems.

C．Stephen Owen’s translating Du Fu’s poems.

D．AC Graham’s writing Poems of the late Tang.

【2】What’s people’s attitude towards the Du Fu film?

A．Doubtful.

A．To highlight Du Fu’s cultural status.

B．To introduce these two poets to people.

C．To explain the reason for making the film.

D．To stress these two poets’ cultural position.

【4】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The cultural misunderstanding was removed through the film.

23、   Inventions make the world better, smarter and even a little bit more fun. Last year, in November, Time magazine published "2018 Top 50 inventions". Here are three of the most interesting inventions for you. Let's take a look.

Lifepack Carry-on Closet

In many cases, traveling is fun, but packing can be quite annoying. No matter how neatly you pack your clothes, you always end up having to pull out everything in order to find what you need. Well, the Lifepack Carry-on Closet designed by the Danish startup Solgaard Design might change that for good.

From the outside, the Lifepack looks like an ordinary suitcase. But inside, it contains a set of retractable shelves to keep clothes in good order and maximize the space. Its shelf system has many extra pockets and is removable. So when you get to your destination, you just need to take out the shelf system and hang it in your hotel closet.

LynQ

Becoming separated from friends in crowds or losing contact with your family in a strange place can be a nightmare.

But now, LynQ, a new location tracker, has a fix.

When you wear LynQ, you use a combination of GPS technology and long-range radio frequencies to find other LynQs to a distance of up to 5 kilometers from you. In addition, an onscreen dot points each user in the right direction, like a compass.

As Time notes, "LynQ solves the three Ws: No more worrying, wandering or waiting around. "

Developed by London-based technology company Gravity Industries, the flying suit is equipped with five power engines—four are built into units close to the hands and one is built into a backpack.

If these engines fuel together, they can provide 1,050 horsepower to make the wearer move at a speed of up to 51 kilometers per hour. So, for people who can balance with the suit on, it's easy to fly.

26、A senior lawmaker on Thursday warned of increasing mortality of lung cancer caused by air pollution.

Of all cancers, lung cancer mortality rate has increased the fastest in recent years, said lawmaker Yang Wei, director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and member of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee.

Yang told a group discussion that recent studies show lung cancer is the top killer for males and the second largest killer for females, partially caused by accumulation of air pollutants.

"We always talked about smoking less to keep healthy, but one of the primary reason is the polluted air," he told lawmakers discussing a report on the enforcement（实施） of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution.

China has vowed to strengthen air pollution control. Beijing will adopt a special air pollution control plan for the upcoming APEC meetings, featuring temporary closure of factories in the event of a pollution warning.
