Complementary Exercises of Unit 7，Book3I. Information matchingA)LOS ANGELES—Fans rushed to see 3-D movies such as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballsin theaters this year and new 3-D televisions could soon have home viewers feeling as if they're surrounded by a noodle storm on their couches. Next year, major electronics manufacturers Sony Corp. and Panasonic Corp. plan to introduce 3-D-capable high-definition televisions for the mass market. You'll still need to wear special glasses, though.B)Movie studios hope 3-D can help lift the weak home video market the same way it has pushedup box office results. The initial price of such sets is expected to be high—perhaps 20 percent more than normal sets of the same size. But costs should come down in the coming years.Depending on prices, 3-D-ready TVs could be in 28 million to 46 million homes worldwide by 2013, predicts Alfred Poor, an analyst with GigaOM Pro. He estimates that next year, as many as 2.5 million sets worldwide will be sold with 3-D capability. "We're raising a whole generation of kids who expect to see this effect for their movies at home," Poor said. "I think people want 3-D. I just don't think they're going to want to pay a whole lot more for it." To avoid the need for special screens, some manufacturers of TV sets are being away from the 3-D technology common in theaters in favor of what's known as "active avoidance". That uses an infra-red (红外线的) emitter on the TV to tell battery-powered glasses when to adjust the left and right lenses in conjunction with the images on the screen, which gives the perception of three dimensions. The sets themselves will require relatively minor upgrades from today's models, but the glasses will cost more, raising the price of the overall package.C)There's no question 3-D movies are popular. They generated more than $1 billion at boxoffices worldwide this year, and on a per-screen basis, 3-D showings typically bring in more than double the revenue of regular screenings when a movie is offered in both versions. For hits like Disney/Pixar's Up and 20th Century Fox's Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, more than half of ticket revenues came from 3-D screens, despite accounting for far fewer showings, according to the research firm Screen Digest. Those screenings tend to fill up, and moviegoers are willing to pay a few dollars extra per ticket.D)Making these 3-D movies hasn't been cheap, and so far there hasn't been an adequate way togive back those higher costs in the home video market, which brings in far more dollars to studios than the theatrical release. In September, DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. released a two-disc pack of Monsters vs. Aliens with just a 3-D bonus vignette (花絮) accompanying a 2-D version of the movie. It comes with cardboard glasses with dark reddish purple and green lenses that create a 3-D effect. The so-called "anaglyph (立体影片)" technology is out of date and can change colors but works with regular TVs.E)"We think for 10 minutes or so, it's a fun experience, but it's not a great experience for anhour-and-a-half or two-hour-long movie," said John Batter, DreamWorks' co-president of production for feature animation (动画片). The studio is considering a re-release of the movieat higher prices using modern 3-D technology, followed by future releases after 3-D TVs become available next year. Batter said 3-D releases "will certainly grow over time and it will become, I think, a significant part of our home video business in a three- to five-year cycle".F)Meanwhile, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the stop-motion animated movieCoraline in July both in 2-D and 3-D with the cardboard glasses, but director Henry Selick said he was disappointed with the result. "I wish they'd waited to do the home 3-D release until the technology caught up to what it was in the theaters," Selick told a conference last month. "I'm disappointed in how few people got to see it in the best possible way."G)As more living rooms are equipped for movies in 3-D, studios will have stronger motivationto release them for home viewing especially as 3-D movies are expected to spend less time in theaters. With about 30 3-D movies headed for theaters next year and only enough screens to show one major picture at a time, the average theatrical run will shrink to less than two weeks in 2010, down from nearly nine weeks in 2008, according to Charlotte Jones, a senior analyst with Screen Digest.H)That could put more emphasis on making up for filmmaking costs on the home market, shesaid. But the home market is also coming under pressure. US home video revenues in the first half of 2009 fell 3.9 percent from a year ago to $9.4 billion. Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research, said 3-D videos could be the good news in the industry needs, especially because it will take a lot longer for 3-D TV signals to reach people's homes by cable or broadcast. "Among the early adopting crowd, they're going to go out and buy practically everything that comes out," Adams said. "It could be pretty profitable for studios even if it's fairly small in terms of the number of households."I)Cable networks are experimenting with 3-D, too. Last month, ESPN hosted test screenings ofa USC-Ohio State football game in four US cities, following similar events put on bytechnology provider 3ality Digital LLC.J)Many technology companies are banking on a 3-D-at-home boom. RealD, the leading provider of 3-D systems in theaters, is preparing to expand production of "active shutter (快门)" eyewear. Sony Corp. has plans for a range of new 3-D products, from TVs to PlayStation games. Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Animation's latest 3-D feature, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, was an unexpected box office hit, and it could make its way into homes in 3-D once the technology catches on. With standards being finalized and demand for 3-D content booming, "2010 is definitely the year for us to start the 3-D business," said Hiro Kawano, senior vice president of home products for Sony Electronics Inc.1.3-D technology is expected to stimulate the weak home video market.2.Consumers will be able to watch 3-D movies at home next year.3.Consumers prefer movies of 3-D versions though they are a few dollars more expensive thanordinary versions.4.3-D televisions are more expensive than ordinary sets of the same size.5.Henry Selick, Director of Universal Studios Home Entertainment, was not satisfied with thecompany’s 3-D movie Coraline.6.Monsters vs. Aliens, which was released by DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. in September,is a two-disc packed movie.7.According to Charlotte Jones, the average theatrical run of 3-D movies will shrink to less thantwo weeks in 2010.8.The US home video revenues declined in the first half of 2009 from a year ago.9.RealD, the main provider of 3-D systems in theaters, aims to enlarge the production of “activeshutter” eyewear.10.

Reading ComprehensionThere are great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an in-creasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are ca-pable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, and of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in adminis-tration , where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people's work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field, and his concern is with technique and tools. He is a "trained" man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist — and especially the administrator—deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an "educated" man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation.Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job.At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job, because it is primarilya training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.1. There is an increasing demand for ______.A. all-round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organize other people's workC. generalists who are capable of making general judgments in positions of administration.D. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others2.

学习一项运动并提出建议英语作文Learning a Sport and Providing SuggestionsEngaging in physical activity is an essential aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Among the numerous options available, learning a new sport can be a rewarding and enriching experience. Whether it's a team sport or an individual pursuit, the process of mastering a new physical skill can bring about numerous benefits, both physically and mentally. In this essay, I will discuss the process of learning a sport and provide suggestions for those who are interested in embarking on this journey.Firstly, the decision to learn a new sport should be based on personal interests and preferences. It's important to choose a sport that aligns with your individual goals and preferences, as this will increase the likelihood of sustained engagement and enjoyment. For instance, if you enjoy team dynamics and social interaction, a team sport such as basketball or soccer may be an excellent choice. Alternatively, if you prefer a more solitary and meditative experience, an individual sport like running or swimming could be a better fit.Once you have selected the sport you wish to pursue, the next step isto immerse yourself in the learning process. This may involve enrolling in classes or seeking the guidance of a qualified instructor. Experienced coaches can provide invaluable insights into the proper techniques, strategies, and fundamentals of the sport, helping you to develop a solid foundation and avoid common pitfalls. Additionally, they can offer personalized feedback and guidance, tailoring the learning experience to your specific needs and abilities.During the learning process, it is essential to approach the sport with a growth mindset. Embracing challenges and setbacks as opportunities for improvement, rather than viewing them as failures, can be a game-changer. Persistence and a willingness to learn from mistakes are key to mastering any new skill, and sports are no exception. It's important to celebrate small victories and acknowledge progress, as this can help to maintain motivation and a sense of accomplishment throughout the learning journey.Alongside the technical aspects of the sport, it's crucial to prioritize physical conditioning and overall well-being. Engaging in complementary exercises, such as strength training or flexibility routines, can enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for supporting the body's recovery and adaptation to the demands of the sport.One of the most rewarding aspects of learning a new sport is the opportunity to connect with a community of like-minded individuals. Joining a local club or team can provide a sense of camaraderie, support, and accountability. Participating in group activities, such as team practices or recreational events, can foster a sense of belonging and create opportunities for social interaction and personal growth.For those who are interested in pursuing a more competitive path, learning a sport can also open doors to new experiences and challenges. Competing in local or regional tournaments can be a thrilling and motivating experience, as it allows you to test your skills against others and push your limits. The competitive aspect of sports can also cultivate important life skills, such as goal-setting, teamwork, and resilience.In conclusion, learning a new sport can be a transformative experience that offers numerous physical, mental, and social benefits. By approaching the learning process with a growth mindset, prioritizing physical and mental well-being, and embracing the opportunities for community and competition, individuals can embark on a rewarding journey of personal development and fulfillment. Whether you choose to pursue a team sport or an individual pursuit, the act of learning a new physical skill can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and a healthier, more active lifestyle.。
Complementary Exercises of Unit 7，Book3I. Information matchingA)LOS ANGELES—Fans rushed to see 3-D movies such as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballsin theaters this year and new 3-D televisions could soon have home viewers feeling as if they're surrounded by a noodle storm on their couches. Next year, major electronics manufacturers Sony Corp. and Panasonic Corp. plan to introduce 3-D-capable high-definition televisions for the mass market. You'll still need to wear special glasses, though.B)Movie studios hope 3-D can help lift the weak home video market the same way it has pushedup box office results. The initial price of such sets is expected to be high—perhaps 20 percent more than normal sets of the same size. But costs should come down in the coming years.Depending on prices, 3-D-ready TVs could be in 28 million to 46 million homes worldwide by 2013, predicts Alfred Poor, an analyst with GigaOM Pro. He estimates that next year, as many as 2.5 million sets worldwide will be sold with 3-D capability. "We're raising a whole generation of kids who expect to see this effect for their movies at home," Poor said. "I think people want 3-D. I just don't think they're going to want to pay a whole lot more for it." To avoid the need for special screens, some manufacturers of TV sets are being away from the 3-D technology common in theaters in favor of what's known as "active avoidance". That uses an infra-red (红外线的) emitter on the TV to tell battery-powered glasses when to adjust the left and right lenses in conjunction with the images on the screen, which gives the perception of three dimensions. The sets themselves will require relatively minor upgrades from today's models, but the glasses will cost more, raising the price of the overall package.C)There's no question 3-D movies are popular. They generated more than $1 billion at boxoffices worldwide this year, and on a per-screen basis, 3-D showings typically bring in more than double the revenue of regular screenings when a movie is offered in both versions. For hits like Disney/Pixar's Up and 20th Century Fox's Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, more than half of ticket revenues came from 3-D screens, despite accounting for far fewer showings, according to the research firm Screen Digest. Those screenings tend to fill up, and moviegoers are willing to pay a few dollars extra per ticket.D)Making these 3-D movies hasn't been cheap, and so far there hasn't been an adequate way togive back those higher costs in the home video market, which brings in far more dollars to studios than the theatrical release. In September, DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. released a two-disc pack of Monsters vs. Aliens with just a 3-D bonus vignette (花絮) accompanying a 2-D version of the movie. It comes with cardboard glasses with dark reddish purple and green lenses that create a 3-D effect. The so-called "anaglyph (立体影片)" technology is out of date and can change colors but works with regular TVs.E)"We think for 10 minutes or so, it's a fun experience, but it's not a great experience for anhour-and-a-half or two-hour-long movie," said John Batter, DreamWorks' co-president of production for feature animation (动画片). The studio is considering a re-release of the movieat higher prices using modern 3-D technology, followed by future releases after 3-D TVs become available next year. Batter said 3-D releases "will certainly grow over time and it will become, I think, a significant part of our home video business in a three- to five-year cycle".F)Meanwhile, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the stop-motion animated movieCoraline in July both in 2-D and 3-D with the cardboard glasses, but director Henry Selick said he was disappointed with the result. "I wish they'd waited to do the home 3-D release until the technology caught up to what it was in the theaters," Selick told a conference last month. "I'm disappointed in how few people got to see it in the best possible way."G)As more living rooms are equipped for movies in 3-D, studios will have stronger motivationto release them for home viewing especially as 3-D movies are expected to spend less time in theaters. With about 30 3-D movies headed for theaters next year and only enough screens to show one major picture at a time, the average theatrical run will shrink to less than two weeks in 2010, down from nearly nine weeks in 2008, according to Charlotte Jones, a senior analyst with Screen Digest.H)That could put more emphasis on making up for filmmaking costs on the home market, shesaid. But the home market is also coming under pressure. US home video revenues in the first half of 2009 fell 3.9 percent from a year ago to $9.4 billion. Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research, said 3-D videos could be the good news in the industry needs, especially because it will take a lot longer for 3-D TV signals to reach people's homes by cable or broadcast. "Among the early adopting crowd, they're going to go out and buy practically everything that comes out," Adams said. "It could be pretty profitable for studios even if it's fairly small in terms of the number of households."I)Cable networks are experimenting with 3-D, too. Last month, ESPN hosted test screenings ofa USC-Ohio State football game in four US cities, following similar events put on bytechnology provider 3ality Digital LLC.J)Many technology companies are banking on a 3-D-at-home boom. RealD, the leading provider of 3-D systems in theaters, is preparing to expand production of "active shutter (快门)" eyewear. Sony Corp. has plans for a range of new 3-D products, from TVs to PlayStation games. Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Animation's latest 3-D feature, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, was an unexpected box office hit, and it could make its way into homes in 3-D once the technology catches on. With standards being finalized and demand for 3-D content booming, "2010 is definitely the year for us to start the 3-D business," said Hiro Kawano, senior vice president of home products for Sony Electronics Inc.1.3-D technology is expected to stimulate the weak home video market.2.Consumers will be able to watch 3-D movies at home next year.3.Consumers prefer movies of 3-D versions though they are a few dollars more expensive thanordinary versions.4.3-D televisions are more expensive than ordinary sets of the same size.5.Henry Selick, Director of Universal Studios Home Entertainment, was not satisfied with thecompany’s 3-D movie Coraline.6.Monsters vs. Aliens, which was released by DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. in September,is a two-disc packed movie.7.According to Charlotte Jones, the average theatrical run of 3-D movies will shrink to less thantwo weeks in 2010.8.The US home video revenues declined in the first half of 2009 from a year ago.9.RealD, the main provider of 3-D systems in theaters, aims to enlarge the production of “activeshutter” eyewear.10.

Reading ComprehensionThere are great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an in-creasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are ca-pable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, and of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in adminis-tration , where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people's work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field, and his concern is with technique and tools. He is a "trained" man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist — and especially the administrator—deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an "educated" man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation.Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job.At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job, because it is primarilya training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.1.
