In recent years, publishers, directors and TV producers have taken a keen interest in popularonline novels, thanks to their originality and solid fan base.
Genre is an important factor. According to a survey by Chinese online literature platformCloudary, of t00 online novels whose copyrights were sold by Cloudary for adaption in 2012,modern city novels, historical romances and war stories were the most popular.
Online author Liu Chenfeng's best-known novel A Clear Midsummer Night is a love story. Itattracted more than 30 million Web hits and won the top prize in the annual competition forChinese romance novels in 2012. A TV adaption of the book, starred by Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei,was a huge hit when broadcast in 2013. The success of the TV adaption has brought Liu greaterpopularity and more confidence in her writing. "It's as if a feast prepared by me has beenappreciated by numerous diners, which is a great encouragement." Liu says.
Literature websites, which are supreme headquarters collecting some outstanding works, haveplayed an important role in this trend. Major websites, such as Qidian.com and Hongxiu.com, whichare owned by Cloudary, have established special branches to help film and TV producers who arelooking for good stories and to deal with copyright licensing. Liu, who has entrusted the literaturewebsite Hongxiu.com to deal with her copyright licensing to TV producers, thinks it makes thingseasier for writers and allows them to focus more on their work.
However, many other writers have sought to work closely with film and TV producers and playan active role in the adaption process of their own works. The authors really know the essence oftheir works. To some extent, their working together may produce better films or TV series. Theauthors' unique understanding about the original works is valued by producers and directors.
Popular online writer Bao Jingjing worked with director Teng Huatao as the screenwriter forone of her online novels. The movie Love Is Not Blind, adapted from her story, became an instanthit in 2012.
Bao graduated from Beijing Film Acadetny with a degree in literature. Her background gaveher extra weight in winning the director's trust. The experience has led Bao on a new career path.She won the award for best adapted screenplay at the d9th Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan in 2012.
Since then, Bao has adapted another of her writings into a film and a TV series, both directedby Teng. "I am lucky. Now I have a job that I really enjoy," Bao says. While writing novels online,Bao adds that she will consider the possibility of her works being adapted into films or TV, and avoids sentences that might be difficult for actors.
Which of the following is not the element that leads to Bao's success?

Seventy years ago, more than 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day invasion. And while we all know that day served as a huge turning point for the Allied cause you probably haven't thought much about what those ,soldiers carried with them to eat during and after the invasion. Food had to be lightweight, nutritious and very high in energy; after all, these men were about to invade Nazi-occupied land. As it happened, the one substance that could fulfill all those requirements was a very unlikely item--a Hershey's chocolate bar.
The Hershey chocolate company was approached back in 1937 about creating a specially designed bar just for U.S. Army emergency rations. According to Hershey's chief chemist SamHinkle, the U.S. government had just four requests about their new chocolate bars: they had tow eight 4 ounces, be high in energy, withstand high temperatures and "taste a little better than a
boiled potato". The final product was called the "D ration bar", a blend of chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, skim milk powder and oat flour. The viscous mixture proved too thick to move through the normal chocolate bar manufacturing set up at the Hershey plant, so initially each bar had to be packed into its 4-ounce mold by hand.
As for taste, well, most who tried it said they would rather had eaten the boiled potato. The combination of fat and oat flour made the chocolate bar a dense brick, and the sugar did little to mask the overwhelmingly bitter taste to the dark chocolate. Since it was designed to withstand high temperatures, the bar was nearly impossible to bite into. Most men who ate it had to shave slices off with a knife before they could chew it. And despite the U.S. Army's best efforts to stop the men from doing so, some of the D ration bars ended up in the trash. Later in the war, Hershey introduced a new version, known as the Tropical bar, specially designed for extreme temperatures of the Pacific Theater. By the end of the war, the company had produced more than 3 billion ration bars.
But "Hitler's Secret Weapon", as many infantrymen referred to the chocolate bar, was hardly the only candy in the D-Day rations. Candy was an easy way to pep up the troops, and the quick burst of energy provided by sugar was a welcome addition to kit bags. Along with the D rations, troops received three days worth of K ration packs. These were devised more as meal replacements and not sustenance snacks like the D rations, and came completely with coffee, canned meats, processed cheese and tons of sugar. At various points during the war, men could find powdered orange or lemon drink, caramels, chewing gum and--of course--more chocolate. Along with packs of cigarettes and sugar cubes for coffee, the K ration packs provided plenty of valuable energy for fighting men.
Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?__________

A.How Chocolate Was Made for the War
B.How Chocolate Helped Win the War
C.What Were the Requirements about Chocolate for the War
D.What Were the Differences between D Ration Bars and K Ration Packs

When I read last week that Angela Ahrendts was getting up to $68m as a welcome gift forjoining Apple, my mind skipped at once to her husband. This latest addition to her vast stash ofmoney must catapult her spouse Gregg to the very top of the global my-wife-earns-more-than-meleague table.
It is quite an achievement. I have no idea if the two of them like each other, but they havestuck it out for a long time. They met at school and he chucked his job to follow her to the UKwhen she became head of Burberry; he seems to have spent the last eight years mainly looking aftertheir three children, revamping their home and putting supper on the table for her when she finallystaggered in on her five-inch heels. I suspect the real genius of Ms Ahrendts lies less in the wayshe persuaded people to buy 22,000 raincoats with peacock feather trims than in persuadingGregg to marry her--and to stick with her ever since.
It is no longer particularly rare for women to be the main breadwinner--in the US a quarter ofwives now earn more than their husbands--but what is rarer is for such a relationship to work. A
book published last week by the journalist Farnoosh Torabi draws together data showing just howhard it is: high-earning women have difficulty finding a husband, and when they do, he is five timesas likely to be unfaithful as other husbands. The woman will probably do more than her share ofchores; though in the unusual event that he starts ironing and cooking, he is likely to end upfeeling so unmanly. Either way, divorce beckons.
If I think of my many female friends who have out-earned their husbands, a suspiciously largenumber are divorced. One friend complained that she no longer knew what her husband was for ashe neither made much money nor showed any desire to help out at home. Hardly surprisingly, hisversion of events was different: as she insisted on dominating both at work and at home, he'd beenleft un-manned and without a role.
! know of only two sets of good friends where the woman earns more and where the marriageseems solid. In one there are no children, so the two spend their spare time being nice to eachother. In the second, the man is so good at child-rearing and cooking while the woman is sohopeless around the house, so everyone seems happy.
The majority of colleagues, even very young ones, still seem to be in relationships where theman makes more. One fiercely clever young male colleague says his equally clever feministgirlfriend has told him she could never marry a man who earned less as she didn't fancy a lifespent propping up his ego.
What is the main idea of the passage?
查看材料
A.Women look down upon men who earn less than her.
B.Divorce is a risk when a wife earns more than her husband.
C.Men's self-esteem is hard to figure out.
D.Get married with the. ones who earn the same,

Move over Methuselah. Future generations could be living well into their second century andstill doing Sudoku, if life expectancy predictions are true. Increasing by two years every decade,they show no signs of flattening out. Average lifespan worldwide is already double what it was 200years ago. Since the 1980s, experts thought the increase in life expectancy would slow down andthen stop, but forecasters have repeatedly been proved wrong.
The reason behind the steady rise in life expectancy is "the decline in the death rate of theelderly", says Professor Tom Kirkwood from Newcastle University. He maintains that our bodies areevolving to maintain and repair themselves better and our genes are investing in this process to putoff the damage which will eventually lead to death. As a result, there is no ceiling imposed by thereahties of the ageing process."There is no use-by-date when we age. Ageing is not a fixed biological process," Tom says.
A large study of people aged 85 and over carried out by Professor Kirkwood discovered that there were a remarkable number of people enjoying good health and independence in their late 80s and beyond. With people reaching old age in better shape, it is safe to assume that this is all due to better eating habits, living conditions, education and medicine.
There are still many people who suffer from major health problems, but modem medicine means doctors are better at managing long-term health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease."We are reaching old age with less accumulative damage than previous generations. We are less damaged," says Professor Kirkwood. Our softer lives and the improvements in nutrition and healthcare have had a direct impact on longevity.
Nearly one-in-five people currently in the UK will live to see their lOOth birthday, the Office for National Statistics predicted last year. Life expectancy at birth has continued to increase in the UK--from 73.4 years for the period 1991 to 1993 to 77.85 years for 2007 to 2009. A report in Science from 2002 which looked at life expectancy patterns in different countries since 1840 concluded that there was no sign of a natural limit to life.
Researchers Jim Oeppen and Dr. James Vaupel found that people in the country with the highest life expectancy would live to an average age of 100 in about six decades. But they stoppedshort of predicting anything more.
"This is far from eternity: modest annual increments in life expectancy will never lead toimmortality," the researchers said.
We do not seem to be approaching anything like the limits of life expectancy, says Professor David Leon from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "There has been no flattening out of the best of the best--the groups which everyone knows have good life expectancy and low mortalit_y"he says.
These groups, which tend to be in the higher social and economic groups in society, can live for several years longer than people in lower social groups, prompting calls for an end to inequalities within societies.
Within populations, genes also have an important role to play in determining how long we could survive for---but environment is still the most important factor.
It is no surprise that healthy-living societies like Japan have the highest life expectancies in the world. But it would still be incredible to think that life expectancy could go on rising forever. "I would bet there will be further increases in life expectancy and then it will probably begin to slow," says Tom, "but we just donTt know."
Which statement below is TRUE concerning life expectancy according to the passage?
查看材料
A.Life expectancy goes on rising forever.
B.There could be further increases in life expectancy.
C.Life expectancy has slowed down since 1980s and it will stop.
D.Life expectancy in Japan doubles what it was 200 years ago.

When we analyze the salt salinity(盐溶度 ) of ocean waters, we find that it varies only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation. In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salt stays behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained.
The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of
high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by-evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation.
Normally, in hot regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.
A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.
In the Weddell Sea, the densest water in the ocean is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portion of the oceans of the world.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
查看材料
A.Oceanic salinity has great effect on sea life.
B.Many factors combine to cause changes in oceanic salinity.
C.The movement of the water is related to the amount of salt.
D.The temperature of the water has much to do with the oceanic salinity.
