Musical for the new era
Some of the world’s most famous movies, like The Sound of Music（《音乐之声》）and Singin’ in the Rain(《雨中曲》), are musicals. These are both very old movies, though. It seemed as if musicals had gone out of fashion.
But La La Land, a new musical by US director Damien Chazelle, 32, had made the genre(类型) popular again. “Brilliantly written and directed, La La Land gives movie musicals life in the 21st century,” Peter Travers wrote for Rolling Stone.
Starring US actor Ryan Gosling, 36, and actress Emma Stone, 28, the movie was released in Chinese mainland on Feb14. Set in the colorful world of Hollywood’s film and music scene, the two characters-a jazz musician and an actress-sing and dance their way to love.
It has made history as the first film to win seven Golden Globe(金球奖) awards. It has also been nominated(提名) for a record-equaling 14 Oscars.
Other popular movies of today are often about violence(暴力),war, drugs(毒品) or politics. Thanks to Chazelle’s creative style, original music and wonderful location(地点), La La Land has a light feel that will put you in a good mood.
The opening scene, when hundreds of people in a traffic jam start singing , “will be studied and swooned(着迷) over for years to come,” according to Travers. “The very fact that it doesn’t have a strong political message, but is still good enough to win awards, is what makes La La Land so unusual,” Nicholas Barber, wrote for the BBC. “It is intimate(亲切的) and personal and magical.”

A. It is better than The Sound of Music.
B. Its genre is out of fashion.

A wealthy man asked an old scholar to tell his son away from his bad habits. The scholar took the young man for a walk through a garden. Stopping suddenly, he told the boy to pull out a tiny plant growing there.
The young man made it easily. The old man then asked him to pull out a little bigger plant. The young man pulled hard and the plant came out with its roots. “Now pull out that one,” said the old man, pointing to a little tree. The boy had to use all his strength to pull it out.

It is most difficult for parents to decide whether to have a second child or not. It is often heard that a single child is likely to be a lonely child. There are no other children in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents feel sad about making the decisions to have only one child.
But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average(平均) number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996. For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They don’t have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 reaches around $160,000.
1.According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely?
A. Because his parents don’t love him.
B. Because he doesn’t have holidays.
C. Because he doesn’t have a brother or a sister to talk to or play with.
D. Because there are other children in the family.
2.What does the underlined word “overwhelming” mean in the last paragraph?
A. 压倒一切的 B. 宽松的 C. 流行的 D. 充足的
3.Why don’t parents choose to have a second child?
A. The cost of supporting a child is so high.
B. Parents are too busy working every day to share their time and energy with more children.
C. Some parents can’t still get their first child’s agreement.
D. Both A and B.
