1．　　Imagine there are two worlds:in one of them, time goes forward as normal;but in the other, time is inverted (逆转) and everything moves backward. A fired bullet (子弹) goes back into a gun and an exploded bomb (炸弹)is (1)      put back together.
　　These worlds are(2)      in the movie Tenet (《信条》) by British director Christopher Nolan, which came out in the Chinese mainland on Sept. 4th, 2020.
　　In the movie's time﹣inverted world, people from the future want to kill people in the present — it's a war across (3)      . The film's hero can only (4)      these people by finding out the secret meaning of the word "tenet".
　　Just as the word "tenet" can be read the same forward and backward, so can time. "Time inversion" is the central (5)      of the film. "Every film should have its own world, a logic (逻辑) and feel to it that expands (扩展) beyond the exact image (影像) that the audience(观众)is (6)      , " Nolan once said.
　　Tenet is not the first time Nolan has created a (7)      world that plays with time. In Memento (《记忆碎片》), time does not go forward in a single line, but is broken (8)      pieces. In Inception (《盗梦空间》), time passes at different sees in different layers (层) of a dream. In Durkink (《敦刻尔克》), (9)      time itself doesn't change, the film's three storylines take place within three different periods of time﹣﹣one week, one day and one hour.
　　"I think audiences get too(10)      and familiar in today's movies. They believe everything they're hearing and seeing. I like to shake that up, "Nolan explained.

4．　　Once upon a time, there lived a man who owned a big company. Several years later, his health became worse, so the man decided to choose one of his sons to take his place. He gave each of them a box and said, "I want you to fill your box with something that you believe is the most valuable part of our company. Bring your box back to me in five days. "
　　The day came. The first son filled his box with the company ledger (分类账簿) . "There is nothing better than this. It is the best thing to show our success. " he said.
　　"Good!" the father said. "What about yours?" He turned to the second son.
　　"I put a lot of money in it because money allows our company to work well and allows us to give our workers higher pay. In addition, we can live a comfortable life. " answered the second son.
　　"Oh. " the father said unhappily. Then he asked his youngest son, "Let me see your box. "
　　"My box is empty!"
　　"Didn't you find anything valuable in our company?" the father asked angrily.
　　"Sorry. I just couldn't place the most valuable thing I found in a box. What size box can hold the loyalty(忠诚) of our workers and customers?And how can I place inside a box the most valuable thing for me:the love of you and mother?" answered the youngest son.
　　The man was deeply moved by his youngest son who placed love in the first place. Clearly, he made the decision easily. In life, nothing can be compared with love from our parents and people around us.

5．　　Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place?
　　Lots of people do. And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why. They found that one half of the brain "remains more awake" than the other half when people are trying to sleep in a new place. .
　　The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University. In their report, the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home.
　　They call it first-night influence". "In Japan they say, 'If you change your bed, you can't sleep, " said Yuka Sasaki, one of the report's writers. "You don't sleep very well in a new place. We all know about it" The researchers measured brain waves (测量脑波) for 35 volunteers over two nights in a laboratory, The two nights were a week apart (间隔). They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half. This was during the first deep﹣sleep period, the researchers said.
　　Sasaki said a lot of questions remain.
　　Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long. So, they don't know if the left half keeps "watch" all night, or whether it "works in shifts (轮换) with the right half later in the night". They also do not know why the brain activity, at least during the first period of deep sleep, is always on the left half.
　　For some, this research may be calming. It is good to know that our brain is "looking out for us" in a new place. But it may not help with sleep. That brain activity, at least according to this new research, makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning.

6．　　Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible wounds both in body and mind. Often they recall these experiences in their awful dreams.
　　Now American researchers think they are close to developing a kind of medicine, which will help people forget bad memories. The medicine is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去) the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing chemicals that make memories remain in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the effects of memories in mind may be cut down, not that the memories are erased.
　　The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
　　Supporters say it could lead to a kind of medicine that prevents or treats soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
　　"Some memories can destroy people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or an awful dream at night. They usually come with very painful feelings, " said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could cut down a lot of that suffering. "
　　But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories make us different from others. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
　　"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure if I want to wipe those memories out, " said Rebecca Dresser, a medical scientist.

8．　　We always remind ourselves that life will be better after we graduate. Then, we are (1)       (worry) that we may not get a good job. After getting a job, we are wondering (2)       we can finish all the work well or not. We think we will certainly be happy when all the problems are dealt with.

　　This view makes a great difference to me. It gives me courage to face all the difficulties in an active way instead of (8)       (run) away from them. It also helps me know that there is no way to happiness. (9)      value every moment that you have now.
