What time can we see the film?

Lucy is 7 years old and she sees the film with her parents. How much should they pay for the tickets?

“An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue(队伍) of one,” wrote a famous British author, George Mikes．While this sounds funny, it’s a popular English stereotype (刻板印象)．From the supermarket to the subway, queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．
Here in China, queues are normal, too．It is a part of everyday life．People queue most of the time, from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant．But in certain situations, you’ll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd, such as getting onto the subway．Even away from the busy subway platform, queues are different．
One day I was standing in line at the supermarket．I left a small space in front of me．Within seconds, a girl walked by and took her place in that small space．I was surprised at first, but later I found these experiences very interesting．It is with these small, everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture．
Back in Britain, the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue, according to the auction site MadBid．To pass the time, maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb: Good things come to those who wait．
The English are well known for _____.

The purpose of the article is to _____.

In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this article?

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. W hen you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can’t say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge yourselves. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.
