For me, one of the greatest pleasures is going to watch a great film — or movie —at the cinema. It’s a good chance of getting away from real life. There’s nothing better than being absorbed (专心的) in a story at the cinema.

Whether at an art-house cinema or a huge one, someone usually treats the cinema as his own home. It seems that they don’t understand the way of behaving at the cinema. To start with, some people always turn up late, causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to get past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects, someone decides to drink and eat noisily. What’s worse, some people decide to chat with their friends loudly, sometimes not even about the film.

Simon Mayo, a film critic (评论家), experienced something annoying. He said, “Once the woman in front of me gets the phone out and then turns it into a mirror. Her friend then also gets her phone out and uses the torch (手电) on it to allow her to do her make-up!” Simon Mayo has helped to make a list of rules on how people should behave at the cinema. One of them is to ban mobile phones and anything to eat. Another is not to take your shoes off, which is what he can’t stand at all.　

We all know that the best way to appreciate the art of cinema is on the big screen. We feel it is our right to enjoy the film in the way we like, but we mustn’t forget our fellow moviegoers who want to enjoy the cinematic experience too. I should say everyone should behave well and the best choice for people who break the rules of the cinema is to get a DVD and watch it at home.

A dog which disappeared nine years ago has been found. Muffy is to be returned to her owners when she is fit to travel. The dirty white Muffy was discovered sleeping on a box of cardboard in Melbourne by officials from the RSPCA who were looking into a possible animal cruelty (虐待) case.

A microchip in her neck helped find her original (原来的) owners and after a few days of searching for the phone number, officials found Natalie Lampard, who had given up hope of seeing Muffy again since she went missing years ago.

“When the RSPCA described her, I told them her name; I knew immediately it was our Muffy,” Ms Lampard said. “It was totally out of the blue — after nine years, I thought she was long gone.”

The owners of the Melbourne house where Muffy was discovered said they found the dog about a year ago wandering along a street. But where Muffy spent the eight years and how she ended up in Melbourne is a mystery. RSPCA spokesman Tim Pilgrim said, “Nobody knows; the mystery continues for old Muffy.” The dog was suffering from a serious illness and had been having treatment since she was discovered.

The dog, which Lampard adopted (收养) from an RSPCA shelter near Brisbane, is recovering well and will fly back home next week. Ms Lampard got Muffy as a gift for her now 17-year-old daughter Chloe, and the two had been inseparable (不能分开的).

“After the RSPCA called, I rang my daughter and asked her if she was sitting down, then told her they’d found Muffy,” she said. “She is over the moon and there’ll be a few tears shed when they see each other again.”

Empty lands in cities and towns around the United States are finding new life as urban farms.

Eco City Farms in Edmonston, Maryland, is located near shopping centers, car repair shops and homes. The neighborhood is a working-class community where people do not have very much money, and they have limited access to fresh food in markets.

Over the past two years, the farm has attracted lots of volunteers from the community like Mary Clark. She schools her four children at home. On a recent day she brought them to Eco City Farms for a lesson.

Mary Clark says, “It’s important that the children understand the connection between the food that they eat and the soil, the air and the pollution.” What did Hannah, Caleb, John and Alston think of the experience?

Hannah Clark, “You know, it’s good for the earth and it’s good for us.”

Caleb Clark, “It may not be like fun, but it’s fun, because you’re learning and not like writing something out on a piece of paper.”

John Clark, “Basically instead of feeling down when I have to eat vegetables, I feel happy.”

Alston Clark, “I like coming out here. You know, you connect with the earth, where your food comes from. You appreciate the food a little bit more.”

Margaret Morgan-Hubbard started Eco City Farms. She thinks of it as a place where people can learn to live healthier lives. She says, “Our view is that what happens in a community influences the culture of that community. So our idea was growing food in a community and showing that you can have farms even in urban areas.”
