21、Primal Fear
In this 1996 mystery drama, a timid young man, Aaron (Edward Norton), is accused of murdering a priest. Norton’s amazing performance helped to ease suspicion that Aaron is really guilty of the crime. While watching the multi-layered story uncover, it’s easy to overlook the possibility that Aaron could be a brilliant sociopath (反社会的人) playing everyone.
Planet of the Apes
It’s difficult enough for you to make sense of a planet where humans are ruled by talking apes, but when we finally get used to the concept, the ending is really beyond our expectation. Besides, the scene when astronaut George Taylor discovers the remains of the Statue of Liberty in the original 1968 film is really shocking.
The Village
M. Night Shyamalan is one of the few directors who could give us something this clever and wildly imaginative. While it’s common for suspense films to reveal that some fundamental aspect isn’t what it appears to be, in this film set in a 19th century village, basically nothing turns out as it appears.
Fighting Club
This 1999 hit film starring Edward Norton as an office worker who starts an underground fight club isn’t the easiest movie to follow. But the dramatic ending, which involves exploding buildings, may be the most shocking part of all.

22、Being “a grown-up” is a pretty unclear concept, even once you’re technically “grown-up”. My career has taken its fair share of twists and turns in the past three years since I graduated, and in some ways I feel like I’m still only starting to figure out what I want to do.【1】. So if you’re still pondering the question, here’s my advice for making the best of it.
【2】
In some ways, in decision about the future allows you to have a much more open mind about various career choices than those who’ve always known exactly what they want to do. If you limit yourself too much, you could miss the opportunity to join an exciting new startup, develop a great business idea, or try something unexpected that you might love.
Accept that the landscape is always changing
While it may have once made sense to dream about being a doctor, lawyer, or professional ballet dancer, many of the jobs open to you now are ones you didn’t know about as a child. 【3】. The job that fits you could be one you’d never even imagined at age 10, 25, or even 40.
Redefine (重新定义) “grown-up”
The concept of being a “grown-up” means that there’s a finish line to a personal and professional life that is, in reality, always changing.【4】this discovery will likely be the result of much trial and error, and you’ll probably find yourself fighting for new goals throughout much of your life.
【5】Being grown-up means being satisfed with the journey you’ve chosen and enjoying the many different roads you’ve followed.
A．Do something
B．Embrace uncertainty
C．Even if the job has its disadvantages
D．The Internet transformed the professional landscape in totally unexpected ways
E．Truthfully, that grown-up person your childhood self once dreamed of might not exist
F．And I’ve learned that it’s OK not to know what you want to be even at a grown-up age
G．While you can hope that you’ll one day find a hobby or career that you’re enthusiastic about
23、When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装）enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have（showcased）nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. "The ecosystem down there can't handle this non-native species (物种). It's destroying the environment. It's them or us," says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it's not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton's job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions. Model Paige Morgan says, "To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them — I think that's going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York." Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She's trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
【1】What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A．To promote guilt-free fur.
B．To expand the fashion market.
C．To introduce a new brand.
D．To celebrate a winter holiday.
【2】Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A．Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B．Nutria are an endangered species.
C．Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D．Nutria are illegally hunted.
【3】What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A．It’s formal.
B．It’s risky.
C．It’s harmful.
D．It’s traditional.
