11、vie ends with two students going crazy in the school-shooting and killing people.This is Elephant. It stars real school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready-made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.A
12、lthough it may not sound very high quality, the film won the Palme dOr (金棕奖) for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival.The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.The title of the movie ref
13、ers to the old expression about a problem thats as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house.The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone-fun and friendly, or hard and lonely.In many ways, the
14、 two boys, who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boys mother as she serves them cakes and play the piano.But therere hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied (欺负) at school. The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isnt blaming
15、their killings on either bullying or violent games. In fact, the film doesnt offer any reason for why school violence happens.“I didnt want to explain anything. Its up to the audience to draw its own conclusions,“ said the 51-year-old director.21The lines of the film were _.A. given by the directorB

It reports a school killing in a US school.Lets face it. No one drinks diet sodas for the taste. People
19、 drink diet sodas in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it. Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect, according to a new study.Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that
20、were six times greater than those who didnt drink diet sodas. “What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more weight they were likely to gain,” said Sharon Fowler.The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large, ongoing research project, where the participants were fo
21、llowed for nearly 10 years.While the findings are surprising，they also offer some explanations.Nutrition expert, Melanie Rogers, who works with overweight patients in New York, has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet sodas, they dont lose weight at all. “We werent seeing weigh
22、t loss necessarily, and that was confusing to us,” said Rogers.So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet，but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet sodas, and so overcompensate(弥补) for the missing calories.A related study found some sweeteners (甜
23、味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice. “Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,” said Helen P. Hazuda, professor at School of Medicine of the University of Texas. “They may be free of calories, but not of conseq
24、uences.”25People drink diet sodas to_.A. enjoy its taste B. stay in fashionC. achieve weight loss D. gain more energy26We can learn from the passage that_.A. regular sodas make people lose more weightB. diet soda drinkers tend to eat more foodC. diet sodas do help reduce caloriesD. most blood diseas
25、es come from diet sodas27The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph probably refers to“_”.A. sweetenersB. diet sodas and artificial sweetenersC. sodasD. diet soda drinkers and sweetener takersThere is no denying that for more than a generation college education has been accepted without the sl
26、ightest doubt. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who dont go.But college has never been able to work its magic for ever
27、yone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who dont fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each others experiments and write false letters of recommendat
28、ion in the fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves-they are spoiled and th
29、ey are expecting too much. But thats a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and doesnt explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cant absorb an army of untrained
30、 eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high
31、 school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy(玫瑰般的) glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesnt make people intelligent,ambitious, happy,liberal, or quick to learn thingsmaybe it is just the other way arou
32、nd, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those of us
