Even if you’ve already seen dozens of inspiring sports movies, Dangal (2016) is still attractive. The Bollywood movie tells the real life of Mahavir Singh Phogat. It is a story of a father who struggles to turn his daughters into medal-winning athletes after failing to realize his own dream of being an international wrestling (摔跤) champion.

At first, both girls show no interest in wrestling. They’re left feeling exhausted after strict and even cruel training with their father. They even begin to try different ways to get out of it. But once they realize the “silent love” of their father, who may be letting them seek opportunities in life normally saved for men, wrestling becomes their own dream. They finally become winners in international sports.

The film made more than 100 million yuan in just four days after its release (发行) on May 5, according to China Daily. So, what makes this movie so special?

The reason may be that this kind of father’s love has touched many people’s hearts deeply. “It makes me think of my father. I just cried like a river to release myself from my deep regrets,” a Chinese audience member told the Hindustan Times.

Besides, the plot (情节) is familiar to Chinese viewers. It is just like “the story of a Chinese village girl becoming an Olympic champion,” said Tan Zheng, editor of Film Art magazine.

But it might also be lead actor Aamir Khan who has attracted the crowds. In order to play a 55-year-old in the film, Khan gained 25 kg. But he had to quickly lose weight for the parts where he is required to look much younger.

On June 20, 2017, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon.

Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the skies. Imagine never having to worry about traffic, stoplights, or road construction. A flying car can get somewhere much faster than one traveling by road. On the other hand, imagine having to avoid planes and other flying cars. Also, what if your battery (电池) dies when you arc in the air? And, how will you know where to get down on the ground?

Kitty Hawk is a tech company supported by Google co-founder, Larry Page. Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, helped start Google’s self-driving car project. Kitty Hawk expects its first flying cars will go on sale by the end of this year.

According to the Kitty Hawk website, the car is electric-powered and will be able to travel up to 40 kilometers an hour. As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price.

At a conference last week, Uber announced plans for flying taxis to begin carrying passengers. Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build a flying car. Instead, it will use the resources of partner companies.

Uber says its flying taxis will use electric power and can travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company said that could cut the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air. Riders can use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel.

22. What still needs to be considered before putting flying cars to use?

A. How to avoid buildings.                                            B. Where to get a permit.

C. How to increase speed.                                           D. Where to land.

23. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to         .

A. the Kitty Hawk company                                           B. a flying car

C. the Uber company                                                   D. a flying taxi

24 what do Kitty Hawk flying cars and Uber flying taxis have in common?

A. They can be booked by downloading the Uber app.

B. Their speed can reach 241 kilometers an hour.

C. They are both powered by electricity.

D. They can only travel over fresh water.

25. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

With the job market becoming increasingly competitive every year, a growing number of fresh university graduates arc choosing “delayed employment”.   26   Some of the reasons are as follows.

Relaxation under pressure

Experts say more college students are deciding not to work upon graduation to avoid the pressure in the fight for positions. Some young people who are not faced with a heavy economic burden (经济负担) are simply slaying at home, relying on parents.   27 

More knowledge about the world

As the old Chinese saying goes, “traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books.”   28   It’s a good time for them to explore the world. Chen Nuan, 23, who majors in product design, will graduate this summer. While it is easy for students in this major to land a job, Chen says she is not in a hurry. Her first plan after graduation is to travel throughout Europe.

  29 

There are more choices for young people born after 1995. Bui they are not willing to give in and take a job they don’t like.   30   Wang Man, 25, who graduated last year, refused a secretary position she doesn’t like and has been traveling since then. She is determined to find a job that is to her taste.

A. Personal interest.

B. Too many job choices.

C. Jobs related to their interests have greater attraction.

D. why do these graduates decide to delay job search?

E. They just want to get relaxed before hunting for a job.

F. How do these graduates spend their time after graduation?

G. University students have learned a lot from books but lack practice.
