New to Hindi language cinema? We’ve got you covered! Dhaliwal has created a list of the best Bollywood movies for beginners.
Mughal-e-Azam (1960)
Mughal-e-Azam tells the tale of a Mughal prince’s romance with a court dancer. The film’s dialogue, music, and the breathtaking chemistry of the leading couple have been buried in the minds of generations.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)
Nothing could possibly go wrong given Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s winning blend: an all-star cast, super-hit music, and to top it all, an excellent script. If you were to watch only one Indian film to get an idea of what most of us go to the movies for, let it be this one.
Lagaan (2001)
Bringing together the top three things that Indians absolutely love – the sport of cricket, superstar Aamir Khan and patriotism (爱国主义) – Lagaan is nothing short of great. The story focuses on an Indian village standing up by challenging the British to a cricket match. It’s no wonder that it’s one of the only three Bollywood movies to have ever been nominated (提名) for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars.
Wake Up Sid (2009)
The reason why Wake Up Sid is well-received is the simplicity with which it explores the modern relationships of urban youth. At the core of the story is a sweet, heartfelt romance between a girl struggling to find her place in a new city and a boy trying to find himself. There’s also a gentle underlying romance with the remarkable city – Mumbai.

Born in Shanghai in 1981, Yang Ji studied accounting in college before becoming a civil servant in 2005, fulfilling his parents’ wishes of him securing a stable job. But he only lasted a year in that role. “I’ve loved animals since I was a child. I raised many animals, such as goldfish, turtles and pigeons during my school years,” he says. “Raising animals was my hobby and my dream.”
Yang made a career switch in 2006, and started working at a chicken farm to learn about breeding (培育) birds.
“The first five years were very difficult for me. I made many mistakes along the way, but I also learned a lot,” he says. “For example, there are huge differences between raising a chicken and a swan.”
He shared that the first swans he bought eventually became crippled (瘸的), and some even died, even though he went to great lengths to feed them good food and ensure that their pens were warm. But after consulting with experienced experts, he learned that the animals just needed to eat grass. In addition, the swans should not have been cooped up in their pens but let out to exercise in the cold water.
He then went to learn more about the trade with experienced bird keepers and experts from zoos, working alongside them for days and observing how they raised the animals.
In 2011, Yang bought a small, deserted zoo and renovated (改造) it for his rare-bird breeding center. In 2014, he received his license to breed first-tier protected animals from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. He has since introduced several endangered birds to his center.
“They’re all native species in China and I’ve succeeded in breeding and raising their babies,” he says. His breeding center, which supplies birds to zoos around China, isn’t all about profit. Yang says that he is planning to release some endangered birds to help grow the population in the wild. “I am passionate with my work and never feel exhausted,” he says. “Living with the birds and seeing them every day makes me a happy man.”
24. Yang Ji started working at a chicken farm because ___________. A. he loved raising chickens B. he wanted to learn bird raising C. chickens were much easier to raise
- 2 -
D. he had a preference for small animals
25. What mistake did Yang Ji make when he first started breeding swans? A. He fed wrong food to the swans. B. He didn’t keep the swans warm. C. He bought some crippled swans. D. He let the swans swim in cold water.
26. What do we know about Yang Ji’s breeding center? A. It was rebuilt on an open grassland.
B. It has kept all kinds of endangered animals since 2014.
C. It intends to increase the number of some endangered birds by setting them free. D. It aims at making money out of supplying endangered birds to zoos all over China. 27. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. Yang Ji and His Birds B. From Chickens to Swans C. A Successful Career Switch D. Flying High with His Dreams

The coronavirus（冠状病毒）outbreak has sparked panic buying of toilet paper and cleaning products in countries across the world, but one UK businessman is determined to spread some happiness among the anxiety and confusion.
Rob Braddick, 48, who owns Braddick’s Holiday Park in Westward Ho, Devon, in the southwest of England, has filled the toy grabber machines in his amusement park with two of the country’s most sought-after cleaning products.
Customers could previously try their hand at grabbing “Frozen 2” or “Peter Rabbit” toys from the machines, but no more. “They got removed this morning,” Braddick said of the toys, replacing them with toilet roll and hand sanitizer (洗手液). Visitors can now pay 50p for three goes on the toilet roll grabber, or ?1 a go for Carex, which Braddick described as the “Rolls- Royce of hand sanitizers.”
Braddick said that his decision was born of a desire to make people feel less stressed in uncertain times. “It’s a bit of light relief with everything that’s going on,” he said. “Hopefully it will raise a smile, which I think everybody needs.”
Around the world, travel plans have been severely affected, and tens of millions of people remain at home as part of global efforts to fight against coronavirus. Supermarkets have seen shortages of toilet
