  As an important guest of the 8th Shanghai International Film Festival top Hollywood star Mr.Morgan FREEMAN arrived in Shanghai yesterday morning.Without time even to adjust to the time difference he attended the press conference of the premiere of BATMAN BEGINS.His courtesy, modesty, and humour at the conference greatly impressed the journalists present.

  At the press conference the first question Freeman faced was about his "weakness." Freeman himself once said that he had never played a character in love with a woman, which was a great pity.When asked about this he explained that he had played in stage productions for 20 years before joining the film circle at the age of over 50.This explains why he has had so little love interest in his films.

  Since he joined the film world Freeman has been accepted by the audience as a persevering, resourceful, and humourous figure.Though he is regarded as a top star, the number of the films in which he has played leading roles is not big.He has been nominated for an Oscar several times, but has only won once:Best Supporting Actor in MILLION DOLLAR BABY.This caused a lot of disappointment among his fans, but Freeman himself does not consider an Oscar as the only mark of a successful actor.He said that for those attending the Festival in Shanghai it should be not just to win a prize, but also to communicate with others in the film world.

  Talking about the Oscar he won for his latest film MILLION DOLLAR BABY, he said that an Oscar is an award of great importance for all actors and actresses, but especially for the younger ones because it can lead to a successful reputation.But he doesn't consider this so important for himself.His own favourite role in his career was in STREET SMART, also nominated for an Oscar.This role was very different to his own personality.It was a pity that this film did not attract much attention.

  He likes acting in films, and spares no effort in learning his part.When asked which he liked better, comedy or tragedy, he said he had no special feeling, for he was an 'actor' rather than a 'comedy actor' or 'tragedy actor.' He could not tell which was more difficult, although he did say that to find a feeling for the character is important.He summarised the secret of successfully portraying a character as believing in all good things in life.

“When are you going on holiday? And where? ”are usual questions in the office before the summer holiday, and the answer often is: “In one week, to the beach. ”“Aha! You have a beautiful tan(=brown by sunshine! How was your holiday? ”These continue for days after you return.    Many Europeans have not only weekends and bank holidays but also five to seven weeks paid leave. Usually parents in the summer plan to spend three or four weeks with the family. Because of my earlier years in China, I found it difficult to understand the European attitude (态度)toward holidays.

During my childhood in the 1960s, my parents were always busy with work and meetings. They left early in the morning and came back late in the evening. My sisters, my brother and I were left alone with Grandma. We saw our parents only on Sundays and during the few holidays. The only long period (一段)of time during which the whole family could be together once a year was the Spring Festival. We missed our parents badly, but didn’t say so because we had been told that hard work was everyone’s duty and that we could not have our own small family without a big family.    Later I was a hard working student and, during summer or winter holidays, often stayed alone at university to have more time to study. I was always encouraged by my parents, for whom the holiday was less important than “work” and “study”. Holidays were a waste of time and I felt as if I had done something wrong if I took a holiday or did nothing during a holiday.

I spent the most difficult period of my life abroad. But when I joined this company, my boss didn’t seem to think it right for me to work like that. When I called him at home after office hours for business purposes (目的), he politely told me that he preferred talking about work with me in the office.

When the holiday season came near, he asked me to plan my leave beforehand (提前). He talked with me about his holiday and also asked about mine. For him, leave was a right.    Giving up a holiday for the company is encouraged in China, but is foolish here. I began to think about holidays.

Today my parents are retired (退休)and stay home with a lot of time for their children. But we are all grown- up and live far away. We miss each other, but we cannot afford to see each other very much and they often feel sorry for the fact that they were too busy to be able to take care of us when we were young.

Nowadays, Chinese take long weekends and have paid holidays. But do they use their holidays to enjoy family life? I hope so because my experience in China and Europe has helped me understand that work is not my whole life and that a family is also very important. I do not want to feel sorry in the future as my parents do and I certainly spend as much time with my son as possible. There is nothing wrong with either working hard or taking holidays, but we shouldn’t have one instead of the other. It is important to keep a balance (平衡)between work and play.   

1. What do the underlined words “paid leave” mean?

A. You have to pay when you take a holiday.   

B. Someone will pay for your holiday.   

C. You are still paid when you have your holiday.  

D. You can’t leave until you pay for the holiday.   

2. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Working is the only part of the life.      

B. Traveling is the best way to spend your holiday.   

C. Enjoying holidays is as important as working   

D. Sharing happiness with your family is more important   

3. The writer talks about her own experience because she hopes that the Chinese will _______.    A. plan their holiday beforehand    B. get used to long holidays and enjoy themselves    C. give up a holiday for their work     D. bring business home after work hours

Pure Brightness Festival, also known as Tomb-sweeping Day in China, falls on the 4th or 5th of April each year. It was started in the Han Dynasty. On this day, whole families, young and old, with flowers visit the graves of their ancestors to pay their respects. Following the custom, tomb sweepers clean and tidy the graves, decorate them with flowers. They burn paper money made for the dead, set off firecrackers and bow before their ancestors’ tombstones. On this day, they don’t cook. Only cold food is served.

      However, tomb sweeping is not the only activity during Pure Brightness Festival. This day is also a time for people to enjoy themselves. Other activities include spring outing, flying kites, planting trees, tasting tea and so on. In April, everything in nature takes on a new look. Trees turn green, flowers come out and the sun shines brightly. So it is a good time to be out to appreciate the beauty of nature. People fly kites not only in the daytime but at night.

阅读短文,根据所读内容在短文后图表中的空格里填入一个恰当的单词
Trees should be pruned(修剪)when it is necessary. A good gardener will cut away the overgrown and unwanted branches(树枝). They can make the trees more beautiful and healthier. But sometimes we’d better leave the trees to grow in their own way. Because the inexperienced gardeners will damage(毁坏) the trees.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees in good shape or size. Maybe people want to get a tree of the right height and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches. Then people can make the tree’s appearance thick or give it a special shape.
Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead branches. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up (封闭)the center and so stopping the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy chance for disease, but the wound will heal(愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is in danger. Every gardener should try to reduce that danger of death as soon as possible. It is important to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, because healing will be slowed down by roughness(粗糙). You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then pain it with one of the special materials. Pruning is usually done in winter, because you can see the shape of the tree clearly and also it is very unlikely(未必的) that the cuts you make will bleed. If this happens, it is impossible to paint them properly(合适地).
