Last year，A Bite of China，made by CCTVs Documentary Channel，sparked discussion not only on Chinese food ，but also on locally made documentary programs．
When you think of documentaries，you may think of them as long，boring programs．But documentaries can be wonderful and bring stories from the real world into our homes．With fascinating footage（影片片段） and stories，documentaries encourage us to think about interesting issues we wouldn't necessarily know about．
So，what makes a good documentary，and what should we pay attention to when we watch one？Here，we offer a few easy strategies to help you get the most out of watching documentaries．
Pay attention to the themes
While watching a documentary，keep your eyes and ears peeled for the themes people talk about and what ideas they focus on．Is it meant to be informative or raise a certain emotional response？
Think critically
Listen to what the people in the documentary are saying and ask yourself the following questions：If you were debating with someone or introducing a new concept，would you say the things the people in the documentary are saying？Do the arguments make sense？
Check the sources
If you're sitting at the computer and can't think of anything to do，why not look up the points the documentary made and see if they are accurate？You could even read more about what is presented in the documentary．
Who are the creators？
The creators or financial backers of a film will usually be involved with how the subject matter is presented．For instance，as the documentary 2016：Obama's America was directed in large part by a conservative writer，it's not surprising that it's critical of President Obama from the beginning．
（1）Which of the following is the most proper to describe documentaries？ AA
A．non-fictional

C．subjective
D．thoughtful
（2）The passage is mainly written to BB．

2．Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer.However，making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier.For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable，getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is suffering.My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world.People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge.In fact，all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant，which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night.Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico，where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts（輪班）in a factory，the other options have become only too clear. "This job pays well，but it's hell on the body，" said one co-worker. "Study hard and keep reading." she added.When I'm back at the university，skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school.All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale（陳腐的）now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.

3．The size of the British Isles often leads people to think that the languages spoken in its countries of England，Scotland，Wales and Northern Ireland are somewhat the same.At first，visitors are often surprised to find that they have difficulty in understanding the accents and dialects of certain regions.Even in England there are many different dialects.
Experts believe that for most English people，the places they come from are very important to them.Accents are clues to where people were born and where they grew up.Although some people may change the way they speak during their lifetime，most people carry at least some evidence of their accents and dialects throughout their lives.In addition to the regional accents of England，there can also be class differences among the accents.People are often able to make instant and unconscious judgments about a stranger's class by listening to his or her accent.Both the words and the pronunciation of an individual reflect his or her social position.
It is agreed that in England，the kind of English spoken by a person plays a leading role that generally is not important in North America.The importance of accents and their cultural and social relationships are well represented in films and on television in Britain.The film My Fair Lady based on George Bernard Shaw's 1912 play Pygmalion is often said to be a wonderful example of how social class and the accent were，and still are，linked in Britain.
