The novels" author JK Rowling has already given her blessing to the project. She said, "The plans I"ve seen
look unbelievably exciting, and I don"t think fans of the books or films will be disappointed."

worked on the Harry Potter films so it should be faithful (忠实的) to JK Rowling"s vision.

of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe-the business tribe.
You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man
who used your brain to make a living,rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were
a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to
take se riously a man who didn"t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of
business.
"Ties offer a point of indifference," says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers, "They give
a chance to say something about their own personality."
So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office
joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread
of entrepreneurs (创业者) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including
former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people-but not
the people wearing ties.
Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their
business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States.
Kennedy never wore a hat-in fact his nickname was "hatless Jack". Seeing that the most powerful man in the
world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply
vanished across the Western world. Perhaps "tieless Tony" (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have
the same effect as "hatless Jack".
B. social position
C. wearing style
D. favorite hobby
B. it showed you got a good salary
C. it showed you were an employer
D. it showed you were well-equipped
B. washed
C. appeared
D. disappeared
B. Kennedy is the best leader in the world
C. millions of people will go to work without a tie
D. people will wear hats instead of ties
B. The tie will become more fashionable and popular in the future.
C. It was the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States that changed the fact that
wearing hats is part of their business uniform.
D. Men across the westem world didn"t wear hats as part ofitheir business uniform until around 1960.
are more of differenoes than similarities between them in all ways, including their drinking customs.
A superficial (表面上的) observer might think that no one in Ndrway drinks wine. Meals eaten in
restaurants or at home are usually washed down with tea, coffee or milk. Occasionally however, pale or
dark ale (麦芽酒) is drunk. It can be ordered only in restaurants, where it is served only with food.
Excellent quality beers are made in Jutland and the price is high. After beer, brandy is the favorite
drink. Aalborg schnapps made from corn and potatoes, is famous for its high alcoholic content. For the
Danes, brandy is also an aperitif (开胃酒) and is often drunk before meals. For a foreigner, the practice
of surrounding toasts here can be uncomfortable. If he accepts one toast then he will have to accept all
others, and it is difficult to drink six or seven glasses of brandy unless one is used to it. IAdies are
fortunately excluded from these rounds and they drink only a grape juice with almost no alcoholic content.
It is milk instead of liquor that is the principal (最重要的; 主要的) Finnish table drink. More milk is
drunk by the Finnish people than in any other nation. In Finland the sale of alcohol is a state behavior and
a check is kept on consumption by recording purchases on special card issued to all customers.
As there is a difference between Swedish cooking in the south and that in the north because of the
difference in soil and climate, their drinking habits are also different. In the north alcoholic beverages (烈
酒) are considered a necessity because they keep out the cold. While in the south people have milder drinks.
But generally speaking, too much drinking is rare in Sweden, partly because it is against the law.
Sale of spirits is controlled, the Swedes drink much coffee and tea. Many people still prefer the old-
fashioned coffee served in large cups with cakes. Tea is so popular in Sweden that it has been called the
Swedish national drink.
B. Brandy.
C. Aperitif.
D. Grape juice.
B. The American people.
C. The Finish people.
D. The French people.
B. is unwilling to have a surrounding toast
C. would like to accept others" toasts
D. will often drink milk instead of brandy
a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers.
Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These
words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons (魔鬼), spirits, or other
supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells
perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a
magician.
Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act
out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle (洒) water
on the ground. The magician"s combined words and actions form a ceremony.
Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any
such object may be called a fetish (物神). But this term often refers to an object-for example, a carving or
a dried snake-honored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because
spirits live in these objects.
Many people carry magic objects called amulets (护身符) to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets
are stones or rings engraved (雕刻) with magic symbols.
The magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies,
only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcorers,
or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit their powers. In others, any person may become
a magician by studying the magical arts.
Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells
to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain
period before the ceremony.
B. They have power if magician recites the right spells.
C. They have no effect at all.
D. They can be used whenever they want.
B. magic objects
C. stones or rings engraved with magic symbols
D. medicine
B. Because it is carved with magic symbols.
C. Because people think spirits live in it.
D. Because it can help them with many things.
B. Only those inheriting their powers.
C. Only men.
D. Almost all the people in some societies.
B. The Power of Magic

plains, and mountains. Since his tribe was very small, and he wouldn"t want them to be sent to reservations
(居留地), he came up with a plan to save the people.
His son, Falling Rock, was a strong, intelligent, and trustworthy young man. He asked Falling, Rock to
travel across the whole of the country and talk to every tribe he met to convince them to join forces and
fight against the white men. Falling Rock left in the spring with 4 other braves.
When the leaves fell, one brave retumed to Rising Sun to tell him that they had contacted all the tribes in
the desert SouthWest.
When the snow began, another brave returned telling of their success with the Great Lakes tribes. A third
brave arrived home just as the spring flowers bloomed and told how the strong tribes of the Rocky Mountains
were ready. Finally, the last brave returned in high summer from the Eastem tribes with their promise to fight.
This last brave also said that Falling Rock was now racing back to all the tribes, telling them to meet at the
Mississippi river in the spring for the great war. When the snow melted, Rising Sun"s small tribe waited in the
Mississippi through spring and summer, but no other warriors (勇士) arrived. At the end of summer, Rising
Sun sent braves out to track down Falling Rock. He got the news that all the tribes had waited to hear when
the war was to take place, but Falling Rock had not been seen by any of them.
The white soldiers surrounded Rising Sun"s tribe. Rising Sun knew they could never win. Rising Sun
promised to go peacefully to a reservation if the white men would help him find his lost son. This was a small
price for avoiding a fight so the white men agreed.
To this day, Rising Sun waits for his son to retum. And, to this day, the white men have held up their end
of bargain struck that day. People across the country are still searching. That is why you will see signs along
the road that say, "Watch for Falling Rock".

Early in the 18th century, Captain Cook, a famous explorer (探险家) of Australia, unexpectedly caught
sight of an unusual animal dunng his first visit to Australia. The animal had a large mouth-like head and jumped
along on its large legs. To his great surprise, the unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh.
Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the
animal was referred to. The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said Kangaroo,
which Cook carefully wrote down as the animal"s name in his word book. The Europeans who later got to
Australia were anxious to see the unusual animal "Kangaroo", but their requests were met with puzzled looks
