47、 70 years after it appeared in the film, but it still seems to hold its power especially during an economic downturn. The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchells successful 1936 novel Gone With the Wind. Its set in the American South and tells the story of a strong heroine, Scarlet
48、t O Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships.Love story In a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many audiences, it is the theme of love and struggle that has kept
49、 the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta might seem irrelevant to todays viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people.With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie. But her heart is broken when Rhet
50、t just walks away, leaving the woman that he once loved with cruel words, Frankly, dear, I don t give a damn.Great epic The film shows the love-hate relationship of these characters, but also American history, the fall of the Confederacy and the following period of Reconstruction in the South.

51、ackground made this film a true classic in the epic genre.When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, people stood in line for hours to watch this
52、film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins. Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind never lost its charm and ability to inspire and amaze.Biggest of all ti
53、meThe film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget.

57、ents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. T
58、hey hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain, So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories m
59、ay be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling mem
60、ories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry
61、at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All
62、of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser ,a medical ethicist.68.The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out pa

66、youre doing and restarting your computermaking you lose all your unsaved dataThis is a big problem, but there is actually a very easy way to fix it There are two reasons why the physical memory dump happensThe first is pretty simple and is to do with the hardware, and if any of these pieces are not
67、fit for your system, it will cause the physical memory dumpSo, if youve recently added any hardware to your PC, then take that out and see if it worksThe other reason is your system, the registryThe registry is a big database that operates in the background of Windows, storing all sorts of settings
68、and information about your PCThe problem with the registry is that since it has so many important files inside, its constantly got hundreds of files open every time you use your PCAnd because there are so many files to open at once, Windows is constantly getting confused, leading it to save many of
69、these files in the wrong wayThese files go wrong when saved wrongly, making them difficult for your computer to readHowever, if it cant read the files at all, it has no choice but to stop everything its doing and restart your PCThis is why the physical memory dump error appears so easilybecause when
70、 a registry file is so wrong that it cant be read, your computer needs to refresh itself immediatelyThis latter reason for causing the physical memory dump is actually extremely common and the likelihood is that your PC is suffering from it, if youre seeing this errorLuckily, its also incredibly eas
71、y to fixyou just need to use a software tool called a registry cleaner to go through the registry and fix all the problems in there72From the text we can infer that _Athe dump error often happens to your PCBthe dump can be dealt with easilyConly the advanced computers suffers from the errorDthe dump

We all have goals that we are moving to
75、wards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.Let me explain. Most of
76、 us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We dont take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination,
77、or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way. Lets use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead. What we
78、should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to ha
79、ve the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fa
80、ct give ourselves the best chance of promotion. So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goa
81、ls in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasnt built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on. Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but
82、more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.Title Focus on the presentThemeTo (76) _ our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.Common (77)_We do not focus on our present situation.

Some think t
87、hat it is better to use the e-dictionary. They consider that an e-dictionary is smart and cool to use as well as time-saving. Meanwhile, it has many other practical functions. But a printed dictionary is not so convenient to carry. However, some others hold the opposite view. They think the printed
88、dictionary has more entries which are complete, detailed with more examples while the e-dictionary provides limited information. Personally I prefer the e-dictionary. First, its very handy and cute. Besides, its very practical and helpful. Not only is it a dictionary, its also a calculator, a calendar, and a timekeeper as well. It can even teach the learner how to pronounce a word. Above all, most entries of the e-dictionary are up to date.
