A Mumbai based but British made movie, Slumdog Millionaire took the most Oscars in Hollywood last week．Starring a cast（演员阵容） of unknown actors, the movie won eight awards including best picture and best director．

The movie follows the life of an 18-year-old boy who's grown up in the slums（贫民窟） of Mumbai, India．The boy ends up winning money and love when he makes it onto a popular TV game show．

In spite of the film's success at the Academy Awards, Indians have mixed feelings about Slumdog．The argument about how the movie portrays（描述） India began when it hit cinemas．

The film is set in the poor and cruel society of one of Mumbai's slums．In one scene, the hero jumps into a smelly open-air toilet to run after a pop star．That world, though real to hundreds of millions of Indians, is very different to how modem India sees itself．Many Indian audiences feel uncomfortable with the film's portraying of India as a slum land．

Several well-respected local Indian filmmakers have said the story has been tailored for western audiences．Veteran Bollywood star, Amitabh Bachchan, said the film portrayed India as a "Third World, dirty developing nation．"

Even some of those who like the movie are unhappy with its title．People who live in slums have taken to the streets with signs that read: "Don't call us dogs" and "I am not a slum dog．"

"It's understandable why people are unhappy with the title," Indian author Chitra Divakaruni told the New York Times．"In Indian culture being called a dog is extremely rude．It is often used in films to describe evil people．"

However, others have been more positive．The Wall Street Journal in New York described  Slumdog as "the world's first globalized masterpiece（杰作）"．

Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat（诈骗）.Either way, it could be a perfect crime（犯罪）, because the criminals are birds----homing pigeons.
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay some money. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind---- one that avoids（避免） not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.
The theory is supportd by the fact that, so far,none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded----under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-----seems too little for a car worth many times more.
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,”he said.
66.After the car owner received a phone call, he ___________.
A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried
B. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park
C. sent some money to the thief by mail
D.told the press about it
67. The “lazier and more inventive”criminal refers to ________.
A.the car thief who stays at home             B.one of those who put the ads in the paper
C.one of the policemen in Changwa      D. the owner of the pigeons
68.The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show ____________.
A.how easily people get fooled by criminals     B.what Chen thinks might be correct.
C. the thief is extremely clever.              D.the money paid is too little.
69. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A.criminals       B. pigeons       C. the stolen cars            D.demands for money
70. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because ____________.
A.he reads the ads in the newspaper
B.he lives in the same neighborhood
C.he has seen the car owners in the park
D.he has trained the pigeons to follow them

Mr. Ma, a famous mental doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting, “Now many young students can have many problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem.”

Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. One patient, a middle school student from Xi’an was doing badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling parents. Another student, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn’t think of anything to write.

A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental problems. They often fell worried and very unhappy. Unluckily, many of them won’t go and ask for help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others won’t talk about their own secrets.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma offered some good ideas to young people:

◆Talk to your parents or teachers often.

◆Take part in group activities.

◆Try to get along well with the people around you.

◆Go to see a doctor if you often feel unhappy.

2.The schoolgirl’s problem happened whenever she __________.

3.Some of those with mental problems won’t ask for help because ______________,
