      Putting Movies on Mobiles

    Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the Oscars. But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm — the first mobile film festival.

    The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length — ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.

      New Platforms

    The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.

    　　It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!

      New Technology Advances

    MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances.

    　　In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone. And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality.

    Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.

    A. movies in the theater got their recognition

    C. ideal films were five minutes or less in length

    2.They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. The underlined word means “________”.

    3.Nowadays the majority of films made for mobiles are short in length because of _______.

    A. online services                  B. the screen size

    阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填人恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

    Being a good neighbor matters – not only because it makes life more pleasant, but also because being a good neighbor is part of being a good person.

    Being a good neighbor has a lot to do with respecting privacy. It's often best to mind your own business, give neighbors a lot of space and try to sense when it' s appropriate to back off. But it' s just as important to know when the time is right to give a hand. Helping with physical work is one good way to establish trust. If your neighbor is going to be moving some heavy furniture, or needs help fixing something you know your way around, offer to help out. Once you' re getting familiar, this assistance can also extend to things like house -sitting or collecting the mail while your neighbor is away. If you have a close relationship with your neighbors, the day may come when you' re asked to take care of their kids. Should you accept, you'll probably end up playing with and entertaining these children.

    It should go without saying that pet owners need to care for their animals properly.This includes cleaning up after them.There are few things more annoying for neighbors than a dog that uses their lawns(草坪)as a toilet，or that barks endlessly while chained up in a backyard.

    Don’t mess around – be a kind and responsible pet owner·

    There are times when a certain level of noise is fine and there are times when it isn’t – and it’s good to know the difference.Turn the music down a bit after sundown，and further reduce the volume as it gets toward 10 p.m.It’s usually fine to throw an occasional loud party as long as the neighbors are invited or have been informed.
