    The passion of thechrist broke the box office reord with its lifelike portrayal(描写) of Jesus’death. Now coms Nativity, the story of events leading up to his birth.

    The big player here, as you might exepct, is Mary. She is played by young Keisha Castle-Hughes, an Oscar nominee for 2002’s Whale Rider.

Remember playing Dungeons and Dragons when you were a kid? Oh, that was the kid you used to pick on? Well, still, we’ve been hearing about Eragon for more than year, and the giant dragon egg is finally ready to hatch.

Based on the novel by Christopher Paolini, Eragon tells a story of a farm boy who comes upon a dragon egg and follows his destiny to defend his native land against an evil king. The dragon acting promises to be grand, though it sounds like Frodo should be asking for royalties.

 LG Electronics, the world’s fourth largest cell phone producer, has added another feature to the mobile phone-reading books for the visually impaired(弱视). The company started marketing the model, the LF1300 on Sep.18.No other people but the blind and visually-impaired with a certificate(证书) can buy the talking phone at sales shops of LG Electronics.

 “The LF1300 is the world’s first mobile phone that is capable of reading books for the print-disabled, who otherwise could not enjoy them.This is not about making money but about continuing to put froth efforts to reduce the digital difference for the disabled,” LG Vice President said.

Its users can download about 300 audio books from the Internet site of LG Sangam Library to their phones for free in two ways. One is to access the digital library’s Website on a computer designed for the blind to get the audio books and transfer them to cell phones. The other is to download the digital books directly with cell phones through the wireless net work by touching a hot key on the LF1300 phone.

On top of its unique feature of reading books, the LF1300 is no worse than the pupular top-line phones in both outlooks and frnctionalities(功能性). The phone is armed with an MP3 player and a Bluetooth headset, enabling users to listen to the music or talk without a cord. The user interface(界面) of the LF1300 is also designed for the blind,enabling phone users to control it through a voice guidance system.

However, because the phone’s internal mimory of 17MB is small even for a single audio book file, which takes up 80MB on average, a high-volume external memory is a must for the talking book services.

  C.The blind and poor-sighted with a cerrtificate

  D.Both healthy and disabled citizens

AThe teenage girl who sat in Madeline Levine's office was bright and pretty. She came from a well-off family that loved her deeply. And she had used a razor(剃刀) to carve the word “Empty” into the skin of her left forearm. Outwardly, this girl seemed to have a happy life; underneath the surface, she was on the edge of disaster.

As a psychologist, Levine has noticed important changes in the type of problems that today’s teens have.She believes today’s parents are so busy working to make sure their children have the best of everything that,increasingly, we miss out on giving our children what they need the most: time, attention and unconditional love.

“All of us believe that we are somehow doing the best for our kids, and that this will help our kids lead the best life. But the things that help our children grow up to be normal and happy have very little to do with material goods,” Levine says.

A parent’s job is to ensure a kid works hard, believes Levine, but they need to be realistic about their child’s abilities, Most of us are actually rather ordinary. We should let children know everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

One teen told Levine his whole had been about preparing for college. Another was afraid to go home after getting cut from the school baskedball team-he felt terrible about letting his father down.

Kids who constantly feel they’ve disappointed their parents, and that they aren’t good enough, often end up depressed and suicidal(自杀). Children need to know they are loved unconditionally, even if they don’t make the football team or get A on every project. “At the end of the day, we all just want to go home, to a palce where we’re loved simply for who we are,” Levine says.

1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

  A.To tell readers a story about an unlucky girl.

  B.To ask readers not to judge a person by his appearance.

  C.To draw readers’attentionto teenagers’problems.
