• 1．We have some excellent online films to recommend to you to kill boring time during the lockdown period.
     Spider-Man：No Way Home
     Rating：8.0 December
     Now that Marvel's superheroes have saved the Universe，their next job is obvious：They have to save the multiverse.In the third of the Spider-Man starring Tom Holland，the teenage web-spinner accidentally opens a gate to numerous parallel realities. "What people will be really surprised about is that it's not fun，" Holland told Total Film. "It's dark and it's sad，and it's going to be really affecting."
     Dune
     Rating：7.8 October
     Now at last we have a big-screen Dune that may actually do justice to Frank Herbert's science-fiction novel.Directed by Denis Villeneuve，this film runs for 155 minutes and still only covers the first half of the book.As space operas about psychic-powered young heroes on desert planets go，it may never be as popular as Star Wars.
     Ron's Gone Wrong
     Rating：7.7 October
     Ron's Gone Wrong，the first feature-length cartoon from a new British studio，Locksmith Animation，is a family comedy about the differences between social media and physical interaction.Its schoolboy hero，Barney，is given what seems to be the ideal toy，a shiny robot which is programmed to be his friend-assuming it works properly.The problem is that this particular robot，Ron，barely works at all.What do you expect to happen between them？
     Minari
     Rating：7.3 February
     Lee Isaac Chung's autobiographical drama has had faithful reviews.Most of the dialogues are in Korean，so the organizers of the Golden Globes put it in the Foreign Language Film category.Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Times says that the film "feels like a balm（鎮(zhèn)痛軟膏）right now，a gentle，truthful and tender story of family filled with kind people trying to love one another the best they can."

• 2．You've likely heard of the Group of Seven，artists who travelled the remote landscapes of Ontario to capture their rough beauty by brush.But they weren't the only artists who travelled rough and painted what they saw!
     Fifty years before the Group of Seven，F(xiàn)rances Anne Hopkins was roughing it in a voyageur（船夫）canoe between Lachine（Montreal）and Fort William（Thunder Bay）.She was born in England in 1838.She married Edward Hopkins，who worked for the Hudson's Bay Company，and moved to Lachine，Canada.
     In 1860，her husband was promoted to Chief Factor of Montreal，which led to the couple occasionally joining voyageurs on their journeys up the river，sometimes travelling all the way to Fort William by canoe.These trips would take weeks of rough living with the men who pad-died the canoe.The couple travelled along the shores of the Mattawa River，where Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park is located today.
     While the voyageurs paddled the canoe or set up camp，Hopkins would sketch（素描）what she saw.She documented the lives of voyageurs in her sketches in the same way we might take a photograph.Most of her paintings describing voyageurs were completed after she returned to London in 1870.Many of her works，such as Canoes in a Fog，and Running a Rapid on the Mattawa River were displayed at the Royal Academy exhibition in England during her career.
     By the time Frances Anne Hopkins began documenting the voyageurs，lives，the need for them was declining.Faster travel methods such as trains and steamboats were becoming popular，and the demand for canoes was decreasing.However，one could argue that she arrived in the canoe just in time to capture the final years of the voyageurs before they could truly fade away.
  
  （1）Why did the author mention Group of Seven？

  
  A．To show their achievements in art.
  B．To attract the attention of art lovers.
  C．To introduce the heroine of this article.
  D．To prove their influence on other artists.
  （2）What made Frances Anne Hopkins join voyageurs on their journeys？

  
  A．Her love for travelling.
  B．Her husband's promotion.
  C．Her moving to new home.
  D．Her interest in drawing.
  （3）What is paragraph 4 mainly about？

  
  A．Frances Anne Hopkins' works.
  B．Frances Anne Hopkins' life.
  C．Frances Anne Hopkins' education.
  D．Frances Anne Hopkins' marriage.
  （4）What was Frances Anne Hopkins' main contribution？

  
  A．Influencing the lives of voyageurs.
  B．Changing the trends of travel methods.
  C．Displaying her works at the Royal Academy.
  D．Documenting the lives of voyageurs through art.

• 3．Are calcium supplements（補(bǔ)鈣）safe？The short answer is probably yes.Many people take calcium supplements.Most are women.They do it to build stronger bones.But it is not clear that calcium prevents fractures（骨折）.The government advises post-middle-aged women not to take calcium supplements to prevent fractures.
     What are the risks from calcium supplements？Kidney stones（腎結(jié)石）are the biggest risk.The risk depends on whether you are also taking Vitamin D.A study found that when calcium was taken with Vitamin D，there was a 17 percent increase in the incidence of kidney stones.Another report said the risk disappeared when calcium was taken without Vitamin D.
     Another study asked if there was an increased risk of death and cancer associated with the use of calcium supplements and Vitamin D.This study and another study found that calcium supplements do not increase the risk of dying earlier.These and other studies also found no increased risk of breast cancer，colorectal cancer，or cancer in general.
     Calcium，supplements do not seem to increase the risk of heart disease.A report states that "calcium intake has little or no effect on heart disease risk".
     Government guidelines stop short of recommending calcium 1 supplements.The decision rests on your concerns about your health.Calcium can also interact with certain medicine.But there is sufficient evidence to suggest that calcium supplements are safe when not taken with Vitamin D.
  
  （1）Why do some women take calcium supplements？

  
  A．To beautify themselves.
  B．To follow the trends.
  C．To strengthen their bones.
