Rowling is the author of the mo

23、st successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(續(xù)篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and ba

24、lances when making the transition to cinema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and mo

25、st of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks. The leap backwa

26、rd in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21

27、st century and grown mature and discouraged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 1927, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a

28、 zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is t

29、rying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villa

30、in, even as his background remains a mystery. Similarly, Newts brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work

31、 of the universe. The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowlin

32、g is todays most creative builder of cinema worlds, but theres still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true p

33、assion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pic

34、tures. Still, the world shes created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works. But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her

35、imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy-which remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesnt bother to appeal

36、to a new audience. Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse,

37、leaving only the middle. It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but its not a movie.1、What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?AShe was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one.BShe was determined to skip the bookstores and publish b

38、ooks on her own.CShe started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.DShe tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist.2、Who are probably the target audience of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AKids newly introduced to magic. BTeenage st

39、udents with grand dreams.CAdults going through life changes. DProfessional critics of fantasy books.3、What are the features of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AComplex story and exciting characters.BSimple story but abundant characters.CChildish story and strange characters.DSad story but inspiring ch

41、lot?ABy describing shooting processes. BBy listing official statistics.CBy drawing a comparison. DBy citing examples.6、What does the author think of J. K. Rowlings performance as a screenwriter?AIt is really a disappointment for movie goers.BIt is widely acknowledged by her book fans.CThere exits mu

I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is

43、famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup f

44、ull of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (襯墊) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal rela

45、tionships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they hadforegonean opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be

46、here. But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life

47、 is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buyin

48、g myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.1、Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language?ABecause people use them when they feel sadBBecause they express regrets and disappointment in lifeCBecause the remind th

The class was taught by Ryan, a professio

51、nal comedian.I had performed a show, which wasnt originally meant to be a comedy. However, the audience laughed at my first joke, then continued to laugh throughout the routines that were meant to be serious. So it was the audience who told me I was funny, but I didn t understand why or how to contr

52、ol the comic (滑稽的) moments. So, I joined the course to learn.“Turn off your editor that makes you say the right thing and remember how to be a child,” explained Ryan. “Dont try to be clever. Dont try too hard to be funnyand knowing all about the theory of humor is unlikely to help you much. Just beh

53、ave in a silly way. Thats what people want to see on stage.”Ryan would help us loosen up by saying things like, “Wander around talking to others, but make sure that youre the lowest status person here.”I d say that understanding the psychology of humor has actually helped. Recently I came across the

54、 book Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind. Its main idea is that any self-directed intelligent system will need to correct its own fault. Theres a risk that the occasional error will be made. If this was boring or burdensome, wed be less willing to do it. However, evolution has ma

55、de the process fun.Heres a joke in the book: Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other, “Do you know how to drive this thing?” It works on the principle that we have started to imagine one thingthat the tank is the typical container people keep fish inand, just in time, the following words tell

56、us that our first assumption was wrongits a heavy vehicle. For correctly figuring out the error, we are rewarded with a pleasurable feeling. The joke is an efficient way of encouraging this natural reaction, and comedians have become experts in slightly touching this mental funny-bone in order to ma

57、ke us laugh.Ryan was right when he said that knowing the theory of humor wouldnt help us that much as a comedy.During one exercise in the course, four of us were told to perform an opera. Susan and Caroline sang earnestly on either side of the stage, and I brought Henry to the floor, where we wrestl

58、ed (摔跤) each other like out-of-control teenagers. The rest of the group was in uncontrollable fits of laughter. As a performer, I ll never appreciate just why it seemed so funny. But the point is that I would never have written this on the paper. It was a joyous, found moment.1、Why did the author at

59、tend the comedy course?AHe wanted to see how the theories worked in practice.BHe discovered he had some natural ability in comedy.CHe worried about how other performers would find him.DHe got unpleasant experiences when performing a comedy.2、Ryan required the people on the comedy course to_.Acopy th

60、eir favorite performanceBimagine other people s reactionsChelp themselves feel comfortableDbehave in a more playful manner3、What is the purpose of the joke mentioned in Paragraph 4?ATo discuss what humor brings about exactly.BTo give an example of another kind of humor.CTo prove the point about psyc
