Here’s a movie—a sharp, sugar-rush of fun that’s guaranteed to entertain the entire family.
With some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, Robots is the best animated film (动画片) since The Incredibles. Yep, it really is that good.
Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.
But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).
Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.
Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”
Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles—including Robin Williams as the cowardly' (胆小的）Fender (“I’m made of a metal called Afraidium”)—Rodney must track down the firm’s founder, Bigweld (Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchet’s plans.
The first thing that’ll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City. It’s a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.
Also terrific are the special effects. This might be an animated movie but at times you’ll catch yourself thinking it’s really a live-action film.
Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale, for example).
But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.
My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual，has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn’t go anywhere.
Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel that’ll have you bolted firmly to your seat.
BEST QUOTE(引述): Fender: “Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember there’s another one coming tomorrow.”
BEST BIT: Check out those amazing images.
WORST BIT: Robin Williams, character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.
IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story... YOU’LL LIKE THIS.

阅读下面短文，然后依据要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
I came from a family that never liked to waste money, and my parents taught me that living within my budget was the most important thing.
I had a very comfortable childhood, and never felt the need to throw away money on unnecessary things.
But things changed in my twenties, when I found myself in a city with plenty of food and shopping attractions! I burned through my income in the department stores on Saturday mornings, then burned through my credit cards at the night clubs on Saturday nights. Before too long, I was deeply in debt and constantly borrowing more money from my friends. It was during this time that I reflected on my behaviour, and decided that life was a lot more comfortable when you weren;t continually stressed about money.
For me, being thrifty （节俭）is not about being short on money. It’s about being smart with your money so you can enjoy your life to is fullest. I love recycling and getting back to nature, and teaching the kids about eco-friendly and responsible living.
Whether I like it or not, my natural feeling is to find ways to do everything for less. Less money, less time and less stress!

Version 1
In the passage, the writer describes how he forgot his family’s thrifty tradition and eventually met with financial difficulty. This helped him realized the importance of thriftiness and start to practise thriftiness again.
To me, being thrifty means valuing money, making the most of what I have and trying never to spend beyond my budget or on unnecessary things.
Thrift is an old and dated concept to many young people. As life has become a lot easier, people tend to indulge(沉溺) in a luxurious lifestyle. That’s why I regard this nearly forgotten practice more important now than ever before.
Actually, to be thrifty can be really simple. Most of the time, it’s simply a matter of being more thoughtful in our everyday life: turning off lights when leaving the room, not using the air-conditioners unless necessary, bringing our water bottle from home rather than spending on soft drinks, using public transports to avoid needles driving and parking, ordering just enough when eating out, and so forth. To do these might mean doing things others won’t do and controlling our desires. But remember, a smart person is not one who always tries to impress others by showing off their wealth, but one who spares no effort to save for the future and for others.
Version 2
The writer recalls the stress and economic problems he had after moving to a big city, forgetting the thrifty habits of his youth and wasting all his money. At last, however, he learned his lesson and became thrifty once more.
I think a thrifty person is someone who uses only what they need and avoids wastes. Being thrifty can save us money, but more importantly, it is necessary if we want to save our planet. In the face of growing environmental problems, I believe it is more necessary than ever to reduce the amount of rubbish and pollution each individual produces. If we fail to control the amount of waste we produce, our society and our planet are doomed(毁灭) and this concern must outweigh any short-term satisfaction we get from buying and consuming more.
It is for the reason that I buy as much fresh food as possible, rather than packaged food, which requires much more energy to produce and adds to our pollution problems. I also try to cycle or walk everywhere I go, or at least use public transport rather than getting a taxi or depending on a private car. Actions like these keep me fit and healthy, helping environment and leave me with more money in my pocket! Why don’t you try these too? You might really enjoy the results.
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A woman renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”
“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked.
The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不行缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.
6. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?
A. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.
B. The recorder was impatient and rude.
C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.
D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.
7. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?
A. curious B. puzzled C. indifferent D. interested
8. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?
A. calm B. panic-stricken C. confident D. cool
9. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?
A. Because the author cared little about rewards.
B. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.
C. Because she thought the author did admirable work.
D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.
10. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.
B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.
C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.
D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.
