However, this hasnt stopped him from winning over fans and the box office.Lost in Thailand泰囧, starring Huang Bo, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, has become the most popular film of the season. Huang became famous as a stupid thief in the 2006 film Crazy Stone. Since then, the 38-year-old man has impressed people with his performance of different everymen: a farmer, a failed cyclist, a salesman and a migrant worker. Among them, his performance in the 2009 film Cow won Huang a Golden Horse for best actor. How is he able to express the pains and joys of ordinary people so well? Huang says it is because he himself used to be one of them. Huang dreamed of becoming an actor at a young age. Before he got the chance, Huang had tried almost every possible job. He sang at bars in Guangzhou. He formed a dancing band in Beijing.There were highs and lows, of course. But Huang said later “All the people I met and all the difficulties I overcame are treasure (珍貴) experiences for acting.”根據(jù)上面短文的內(nèi)容回答問題。25. How does Huang Bo look? _26. Has Lost in Thailand become the most popular film of the season? _27. What did the film Cow win Huang? _28. Why can Huang express the pains and joys of ordinary people so well?_29. What does Huang think of all the difficulties he overcame? _(B)From goldfish to sharks, fish of all sizes have lived on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. But do they ever feel thirsty?The answer is yes, at least some of the fish do. But there is a big difference between fish in seawater and fresh water.Bony fish (硬骨魚) have a salt concentration (含鹽量) in their bodies. For bony fish in seawater, their concentration is lower than the water they live in. Through osmosis (滲透作用), these fish will lose lots of water into the sea. To make up (彌補) the loss, they drink lots of water, so it would be easy to say they become thirsty. Although drinking salt water is not a good idea for humans, fish can pass the salt they are drinking through their gills (鰓).But sharks are an exception (例外). Sharks can make their blood as concentrated (濃縮的) as the water around them. They do this by building up urea (尿素) in their blood, so they may not be very thirsty. But highly concentrated blood also has a problem. It means sharks wont do very well in fresh water water will rush into the shark by osmosis and it might even explode (爆炸)!Freshwater fish are not likely to become thirsty. Because they live in a less salty environment, they have another problem: water goes inwards and dilutes (沖淡) their blood. The freshwater fish therefore need to pass useless water, so we can see that salt water fish get thirsty and drink, while freshwater fish dont drink but pee (小便) a lot.根據(jù)上面短文的內(nèi)容完成下列各句。30. Some of the fish will feel _, but the f
