I was used to be a healthy girl, but more than two years ago, I get into the habit of eating a lot of junk food and snacks. In addition, I spent a lot of time lay on the sofa, watching TV, and doing little exercise. As a result, I put on such much weight that I found difficult to climb the stairs. So I decided to change my unhealthy life style. I began to have a balancing and healthy diet. I also took part in various sports activity such as swimming, skating, running or playing basketball. One year late, I became as fit as before.

Movies have documented America for more than one hundred years. Since Thomas Edison introduced the movie camera in 1893, amateur and professional movie-makers have used moving pictures to tell stories and explain the work of business and government. 1. By preserving these movies, we will save a century of history.
Unfortunately, movies are not made to last. 2. Already the losses are high. Only 20% of US feature films from the 1910s to 1920s survive. Of the American features produced before 1950, about half exist. For independently produced works, we have no way of knowing how much has been lost.
For many libraries and museums, the hardest step in preserving movie collections is getting started. The Movie Preservation Guide is designed for these organizations. 3. These institutions have collections of moving pictures but lack information about how to take care of them. The Guide contains basic facts for “beginners”—professionals trained in history but unschooled in this technical area.
The Guide grew from user workshops at Duke University. At the sessions, beginners talked with technical experts about what they needed to know to preserve and make available their movie collections. 4.
Following the advice, the Guide describes methods for handling and storing moving pictures that are practical for research institutions with limited resources. 5. The Guide has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
A. “Keep it simple!” was the advice of the discussions.
B. They’ll be damaged within years if not properly stored.
C. These organizations are the first to save American movies.
D. It is organized in chapters and includes case studies and charts.
E. It introduces movie preservation to nonprofit and public institutions.
F. They show how generations of Americans have lived, worked and dreamed.
G. They store the original movies and new ones under cool-and-dry conditions.
A new Magic Bench designed by Disney Research lets you interact (互动) with lovely animated (动画的) character—and no special glasses or earphones are required. Instead, the complete environment-the seat, the sitter and the cartoon characters-is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.
How does the illusion work? A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects the bench and the person. And then computer translates them into the 3D animations. Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user.
“Our goal for this project was: hear a character coming, see them enter the space, and feel them sit next to you,” said Moshe Mahler, principal digital artist at Disney Research. Unlike the traditional mobile technology, one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion, the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented—reality (扩充实境) experience, all at the same time.
In a video show, a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench, causing sharp sound and making the seated person jump in surprise. Another test shows two people on the bench, reacting as they feel an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down. When a user passes his hand over the rabbit, a shadow moves across its head, as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.
1.What does the Magic Bench need to work properly?
A. Special glasses. B. Earphones. C. A mirror. D. A screen.
2.What does the underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The shaking that is happening. B. The 3d animations on the screen.
C. The figures about physical objects. D. The interaction with animated figures.
3.What’s the Magic Bench different from the traditional technology?
A. Its fantasy can be seen only by a single user.
B. It is designed to create more animated characters.
C. It allows many people to experience the fantasy together.
D. Its user and the animated character occupy the same space.
4.Which is the best title of the text?
A. Magic Bench Puts You in the Picture
B. Audience Become Cartoon Characters
C. Entertainment Industry Enters a New Stage
D. Disney’s Cartoon Figures Come into Reality
Pinewood Studios is located (位于) about twenty miles west of central London and named after the pinetrees in the grounds. Pinewood has been at the heart of both British and international film production. The house, Heatherden Hall, was bought by Charles Boot in 1934, and he and J. Arthur Rank became partners in the project to build the studios. Pinewood proved pioneering in its use of the “unit system” that allowed more than one film to be made at a time,and this enabled Pinewood to achieve the highest output of all the studios in the world. The first film to be completed at Pinewood was Talk of the Devil (1936, Reed) while the immediate postwar period saw six major productions including the praised Oliver Twist ( 1948 , Lean ) and The Red Shoes ( 1948 , Powell and Press-burger).
The 1950s saw countless productions including the Doctor series and medical comedy, which were the fathers to the Carry On films: the series started with Doctor in the House (1954,Thomas) and led to a further six films. Other notable films of the 1950s age include The Prince and the Showgirl ( 1957 Olivier ) starring Marilyn Monroe, Carve Her Name with Pride (1958 , Gilbert), North West Frontier (1959 Thompson) and The Thirty-Nine Steps (1959, Thomas). The Thirty-Nine Steps was a reworking of John Buchan’s novel originally filmed by Hitchcock in 1935. Because of its new ideas and skills, American production companies crowded to Pinewood and a major reinvestment (再投资) was required. During the 1960s,four new stages were built to accommodate every aspect of film and television production. This period also saw the start of the association between Pinewood and the James Bond series, which started in 1962 with Dr No (Young). The studios have continued to produce imaginative and technically challenging material such as Superman (1978,Donner), Superman Ⅱ (1980,Lester),Superman Ⅲ (1983, Lester), Superman Ⅳ: The Quest for Peace (1987, Furie),and Batman (1989,Burton).
