Henry Cavill: Bring Superman to Life
Henry Cavill knew that he wanted to be a star at 16 years of age, after a chance meeting with movie star Russell Crowe who inspired hispassion for acting. But for the British-born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.
Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.
Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old, he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off. He won a leading role as the first Duke of Suffolk in the period showThe Tudors. The TV show was very popular and helped to raise Cavill's popularity inAmerica.
In 2011, Cavil landed his breakout role, playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe. He hasn't looked back and has since starred in many hit films, such asMission: Impossible- Fallout.
More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in 2020'sEnola Holmes.
However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real-life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association. Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans (退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero. 4. Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career? A. He was too polite to refuse. B. He was hoping to get noticed.
C. He was encouraged to do so by his parents. D. He was friends with the directors of the projects.
5. The role of the monster hunter was the perfect for Cavill because ________ . A. he had experienced hunting monsters B. he had played the same role in a movie C. he knew the writer of the books personally
D. he enjoyed the video games that the show was rooted in 6. Which of the following words can best describe Cavill? A. Modest and friendly. B. Determined and kind. C. Talented and faithful. D. Honest and considerate. 7. What made Cavill a real-life hero? A. Being a successful actor. B. Playing Superman on screen. C. Devoting to charities.
D. Wearing a cape to take part in activities.

In a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.
The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).
But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet
or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.
How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist. 8. What is the result of the survey?
A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent. B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer. C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people. D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework. 9. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning? A. They can entertain themselves. B. They can take in fresh air. C. They get a sense of achievement. D. They can delay other things.
10. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?
A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish. B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink. C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals. D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand. 11. What column does the text belong to? A. Feature Story. B. Family Life. C. Scientific Hotspot. D. Finance Focus.

Everyone can be angry. But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just “feeling” angry, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself. Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.
I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked over an application I supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never
worked. That didn’t bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, “Your job is pointless.” This really upset meand at the time, I was ly furious(发怒地) with that comment.
I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad. I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more truethan I wanted to admit. In the big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn’t even really want to do. I was using it as a crutch(拐杖) because I didn’t have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.
I now consider this incident as a great gift It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go with my life. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.
12. What made the author angry at the meeting?
A. The system of the company was terrible. B. Someone said his job is insignificant. C. The policy of the company didn’t work. D. The application he supported was of no effect. 13. What brought down the anger of the author? A. The apology someone made at the meeting. B. The crutch he used to take the scary road.
C. His awareness of the fact that the comment was true. D. The courage he had to overcome the challenges. 14. Why did the author consider the incident as a gift? A. It brought him back on track to the goal. B. It helped him get promoted to a higher position. C. It helped him change his character since then. D. It provided him with confidence in his career. 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. How to Cope with Verbal Attack in a Company B. Avoid Being Pointless at Work C. Anger Is Harmful to Health
D. Understanding Yourself Better Through Anger
