Home Alone 4Starring French Stewart , Mike Weinberg , Missi Pyle , Barbara Babcock , Jason Beghe , Claire Carey and Joanna Going.
Christmas this year looks gloomy to Kevin. His parents have separated, and he decides without careful thinking to spend the holidays with his dad, Peter, and his dad's rich girlfriend, Natalie. Natalie lives in an unusual mansion- a “smart house” in which almost everything reacts to remote commands: doors open and close at will , the chandelier （吊灯） rises and lowers , a swinging bookcase leads to a secret bar , etc. . Even better , the serious butler （男管家） , Prescott , and sweet housekeeper, Molly, are at Kevin's beck and call. But just as Kevin settles into his wonderful surroundings , Peter and Natalie leave to pick up some royal houseguests at the airport , including an 11-year-old crown prince.
In their absence , the snaky Marv and Vera break in , intending to kidnap （绑架） the crown prince. But they didn't realize they'd be facing off with Kevin instead and, while it may not be his house , he still has to protect it. With the help of the house's high-tech. magics , Kevin repeatedly prevents them by turning the tables （ and the swinging bookcases, shower jest and chandelier） on them. All the funny characters build to a cheerful Christmas Day result in which everyone gets into the action during an unexpected reunion between Kevin and his parents, Natalie and the royal family.

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that
is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not.
Greenhorn now refers to ____.
A. a person who is new in a job B. a new solider
C. a young horse D. None of above
A person who has a green thumb is a person ____.
A. who is good at growing plants B. whose thumbs are in green color
C. whose garden is greener than others’
D. who is younger than his neighbors
The author is actually talking about ____.
A. colors B. language C. politics D. agriculture
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.
B. The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.
C. The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.
D. The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous.

Many people to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard. He needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.
“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is symbol of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process writer’s complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.
There are people who wish to remain anonymous（匿名的）for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.
Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name, it is a matter if responsibility to it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say.
1.What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”?
A. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.
B. Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.
C. Writers should be responsible for their names.
D. Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say.
