三、阅读与回答问题
Going to the cinema is fun. However, in a time when technology has afforded us home video streaming services, many people choose to stay at home to have fun. And
they believe cinemas are going to have problems. Though those services might have a bad influence on the cinemas, I do not believe the cinemas are going away anytime soon.
As we all know, staying at home to watch films can save money because cinema tickets are not cheap. Besides, you can lie comfortably on a big sofa to watch films. But the cinema has dim lighting, big screens and surround sound. War films especially benefit from being watched in cinemas. You can experience scenes of the war more fully and closely. As well as war films, action films and superhero films are much better when seen on the big screen.
Besides, you can enjoy the time with your friends and family when going out to see a good film. Therefore, instead of just watching a film at home and then going to bed, you can hang out with your friends and share your latest news face to face after seeing a film together.
Anyway, we are lucky enough to live in a time that benefits people who love to go out and those who love to stay at home. The home video streaming services will always be there for those who prefer to stay at home. But going to the cinema offers a special experience, and it helps cinemas create more jobs.
It is a win-win. So why not see a cool film at your local cinema?
1. Where can people watch films according to the passage, besides going to the cinema?
At home.
2. Why does the writer think war films are better watched in cinemas?
Because cinemas have special equipment. People can experience scenes of the war more fully and closely.
3. When is a good time to hang out and share news with friends?
When going out to see a film together.
4. What does the writer mean by saying “
It is a win-win.” in the last paragraph?
It means both choices are good./It means that people who like to stay at home can use streaming services, and people who like to go out can enjoy a better experience at the cinema, which also helps create more jobs.
5. Which one do you choose, going to the cinema or watching films at home? Why?
(请自拟一句话作答)
I prefer staying at home because it is cheaper, more comfortable, and I can pause the film whenever I want. (言之有理即可)
