We liked the first X-Men movie，loved the second，but how about the third and the final one? Many felt disappointed(失望的)that there was a change of directors(导演)．But really，if the story is good，so what?
X一3 begins in the past．the day Professor X and Magneto，then still friends，visited a young Jean Grey to offer her a way to control(控制)her energy，for she could be a very clever or dangerous girl some day．
Then we come back to the present．Jean died and it made everyone mad，especially her husband Cyclops．After hearing a voice in his head，Cyclops goes to the lake Jean has died in, only to find her standing before him． She has returned but changed．
Knowing that Professor X has found a way to do with mutant(变异人)，Magneto，now the leader(首领)of mutant，wants to start a war to fight man． It seems that the war between man and mutant has come at last，and nothing will be the same ever again．
Does the story sound hard to understand? Good，it should，because it does．The writers kill characters that are BIG．And they don’t write funny words that could keep the X—men movie entertaining for years．But there are still enough reasons to love X—3一it’s big，it's loud，and it has an all-out war．All in all，“X—Men 3：The Last Stand”is just what we hoped，nothing more，nothing less．Anyone who enjoyed the first two will like this one． 44．Why were many people disappointed at the movie X一3 ?
A．Because X-Men 1 and 2 are excellent and better than any other one． B．Because the actors and actresses changed into others．
C．Because the directors are not the ones who directed X一1 and X—2．
D．Because X-3 has nothing to do with X—1 and X—2． 45．Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A．Professor X and Magneto are important characters in the X—men movies·
B．In X一3 Cyclops’wife becomes a mutant．
C．There may be a War between mail and mutant in X一3．
D．Professor X and Magneto are still friends at the end of X一3． 46．How does the writer of this passage like the movie X—3 ?
A．Terrible． B．Wonderful． C．Acceptable． D．Disappointing

It began with one red paper clip(回形针)and ended with a house．Kyle MacDonald，a 26-year-old Canadian．got a house with three bedrooms through 14 trades(交易)that started with a single red paper clip．
Now more and more young people around the world like this kind of trading activities．They set up websites and trade on the Internet．People call trade things they do not usually use with other people．A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their old DVDs．These traders usually prefer face—to—face trading，in this way they don’t have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery(递送)。
Last year，a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle．She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end．After several trades she now has a piano which is worth(价值)more than 10，000yuan．But she may still have a long way to go．
Maybe you can’t understand why people are doing this．As Kyle said，“What’s more important to a man in the desert——one million dollars or a glass of water?’’ Kyle’s words probably show why these trades are popular among young people． 15．Do young people like the trading activities?
