W: What do you think of the movie?
M: I think it’s amazing. You know, nowadays almost all the movies are the same: pretty girls, handsome man, both rich with great jobs, falling in love. Even science fictions are filled with such stories. But this one is different. It’s a serious science fiction.
W: Then what part of the movie do you like best?
M: I love the creative idea in the story very much To push the earth away from the sun! How can the novel writer think of such a creative idea? He’s a genius! W: Yes. But many people comment that some of the images and the sound effect are not good enough.
M: Yeah, I know. I agree with them. If the producer had invested more money, I believe they could have done it better. But with so little money, they have already done well enough.
W: I see. Then do you think it’s a movie suitable for young children to watch? M: Of course it is. Actually I strongly recommend parents to take their children to the cinema to watch this movie. It’s good for promoting children’s imagination and creativity.
W: Great. I’ll take my son to watch the movie this weekend. 【11题详解】

A
Many of us just laugh it away when they are told incredible(难以置信的) stories about other people, but I have a deep interest in these stories and I prefer to believe they are true. Here’s one I collected from a total stranger.
“Well, I was 11 when my family arrived at Fern Lake overlooking Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was so beautiful to look miles across the Rockies and thousands of feet below into the valley. My parents were busy getting lunch out of the trunk so I climbed over the wooden fence to get closer to the cliff edge in the hope that I wouldn’t miss any beautiful sight down there.
I started down a little hill but soon started sliding on loose pebble rocks(鹅卵石). I fell on my back, but kept going faster and faster to what seemed the edge of the world (a 2,000 foot drop). In seconds I knew I was going to die. My feet and legs went first over the edge at a high speed. Then suddenly I felt two hands push hard on my chest and stopped me dead. My heart was racing and I slowly inched my body back to where I finally could make it back up the hill.
My father was waiting there and screaming at me for doing such a dangerous stunt

(特技). I tried to tell him and my mom about the hands that held me back, but to this day they don’t believe me. They thought I was just trying to get out of trouble with a made-up story.”
We parted ways, but I assured her that I believed every word of her story. I could see a little surprise and happiness on her face.
That’s why I always ask people to share their miracles (奇迹). Each real story makes my days full of hope and gratefulness.
