And when her former love (Josh O’ Connor), who’ s also a hotshot in the sport, reappears in their lives, everything goes out of control. A pounding score, adventurous editing and one of the smartest weird endings in recent memory completes a movie not quite like any other. — Linda Holmes Genre: Comedy, Drama, Sports TV Photographer For those tempted to dismiss National Geographic shows as televised coffee table books, this series shatters those assumptions with revealing tales on the lives and work of seven astoundingly talented visual artists. My favorite story: Paul Nicklen, who was raised among Inuit people in the Arctic, and Cristina Mittermeier, who grew up in Mexico City and faced down racism and sexism throughout her career, have become a couple hailed as iconic ocean photographers, fooling oil rig workers to get crucial, breathtaking photos. — Eric Deggans Genre: Biography, Documentary FILM Sing Sing Inspired by a long-running arts program at the infamous maximum-security prison, there are many ways this drama could’ve turned out reductive and tired. But it sidesteps them all beautifully, with help from Colman Domingo, giving one of the best performances of the year. Even more notably, it features moving turns from formerly imprisoned men, and those men drew on their own experiences to help tell a story that finds humanity in a place designed to do the exact opposite. — Aisha Harris Genre: Biography, Drama TV Ripley This new adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr. Ripley relied on outstanding work from star Andrew Scott as well as stunning black-and-white cinematography. This is an older, darker Tom than the one Matt Damon played in 1999, but he’s just as frightening and manipulative. A stretch of almost 20 wordless minutes in the third episode that deals with the logistics of murder was one of the most inventive and darkly funny things I saw this year. — Linda Holmes Genre: Drama, Horror and Thriller 1．In the movie “Challengers”, who is Zendaya? A．A current tennis champion. B．A coach who has never played tennis. C．A hotshot in the sport who has no relation with Zendaya.

D．Discussion on the influence of these movies and TV shows on the audience. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章介绍了2024年推荐的四部电影和电视节目。 1．细节理解题。根据FILM Challengers中关键句“Zendaya does great work as a former tennis star who now coaches her husband (Mike Faist).

We are honored to share these insights with you, as they not only reflect the richness of our content but also the depth of engagement from our readers. The Bear Who Came to Dinner I remember reading this fascinating story when it was first published in the December 1964 Reader’s Digest. I told my fourth-grade teacher about it, and she asked me to read the story to the class. The class loved it! Maybe some young students will be as crazy about reading this reprint as I was reading the original. —DALE BARNARD Semmes, Alabama The Weight of the Badge This sobering and heartbreaking story brought me to tears. The men and women in law enforcement are the ones who arrive when called, stand between us and danger, and sometimes even take the bullet that was meant for us. To each one of them and their families, I say thank you, and God bless you. —SHERYL VEDBRAATEN Crookston, Minnesota Everyday Heroes The story of Bev Wedelstedt’s difficult experience on Colorado’s Grays Peak was a real heart warmer. After six strangers took turns carrying her down the mountain after she injured her leg, Wedelstedt summed up her donor’s generosity with the words: “I’m still in awe.” After reading the story, I must say I’m still in “aww”! —MIKE ADAMKOSKY Columbus, Ohio Age 10 gets A 10 When I was 10, my father took a job in American Samoa. We traveled there on a new 707 Pan Am jet. I was attached to the stewardesses, as they were called then. How helpful and nice they were.

And when her former love (Josh O’ Connor), who’ s also a hotshot in the sport, reappears in their lives, everything goes out of control. A pounding score, adventurous editing and one of the smartest weird endings in recent memory completes a movie not quite like any other. — Linda Holmes Genre: Comedy, Drama, Sports TV Photographer For those tempted to dismiss National Geographic shows as televised coffee table books, this series shatters those assumptions with revealing tales on the lives and work of seven astoundingly talented visual artists. My favorite story: Paul Nicklen, who was raised among Inuit people in the Arctic, and Cristina Mittermeier, who grew up in Mexico City and faced down racism and sexism throughout her career, have become a couple hailed as iconic ocean photographers, fooling oil rig workers to get crucial, breathtaking photos. — Eric Deggans Genre: Biography, Documentary FILM Sing Sing Inspired by a long-running arts program at the infamous maximum-security prison, there are many ways this drama could’ve turned out reductive and tired. But it sidesteps them all beautifully, with help from Colman Domingo, giving one of the best performances of the year. Even more notably, it features moving turns from formerly imprisoned men, and those men drew on their own experiences to help tell a story that finds humanity in a place designed to do the exact opposite. — Aisha Harris Genre: Biography, Drama TV Ripley This new adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr. Ripley relied on outstanding work from star Andrew Scott as well as stunning black-and-white cinematography. This is an older, darker Tom than the one Matt Damon played in 1999, but he’s just as frightening and manipulative. A stretch of almost 20 wordless minutes in the third episode that deals with the logistics of murder was one of the most inventive and darkly funny things I saw this year. — Linda Holmes Genre: Drama, Horror and Thriller 1．In the movie “Challengers”, who is Zendaya?
