When I was reading a post about taking someone to the movies,something happened a couple of years ago suddenly hit me.
I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap.You might win something so long as you went to a website and entered the code.I won some free Cokes.But what astonished and delighted me was the Grand Prize I won then.
The Grand Prize was free movies for a year.They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant.All of the tickets were valid(有效的)for one year from the day I received them.So I must use them in the following year.I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.
Then I donated 20 tickets(all I had left by that time)to the local Women's Transition House.Women and children could go there when they want to avoid a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start.It was the best thing I did with the tickets.
My workplace team had decided to help people in need,so we collected donations for that particular New Year's Day.I knew that the Women's Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.
I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside.And I asked the Women's Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have some fun to do,with or without their children,which made me really happy.

In early twentieth-century France,a new form of entertainment was becoming a hit—motion picture.People crowded into theatres for short,silent,black-and-white films that showed everyday happenings,such as a train pulling into a station.These pictures were dimly projected onto white sheets.Usually,there was no sound.Sometimes,men at pianos played music to match the scenes.
Moving images in theatres are no longer new,but back at the beginning of the art form,surprises lurked around every corner.During the first showings of basic silent movies,some people in the audience screamed in fear,reacting to what they saw as if it were happening in real life.Moviegoers were known to leap out of the way of trains on the screen.At that time,few people understood what motion pictures were,so audience members could easily be fooled.
Today,people crowd into theatres for the latest 3D movies.Even older movies,such as the popular Star Wars series,are being re-released in 3D.Moviemakers are excited about the ability to involve the audience more directly in the story or film.In addition,theatres spend tens of thousands of dollars on high-quality audio systems so that everything from the safest whispers to the largest explosions sounds clear and realistic.
What will movies be like 100 years from now? Will audiences be able to smell scents in the films,taste the food that characters are eating,or even becoming part of the stories themselves?Only time will tell.

Do you think that you have no time to catch up on your favourite TV series,go out with your friends on the weekend,or just sit around relaxing and doing nothing?You might have a lot of time in hand,but don't even know it! 1
Your workplace is full of distractions.
Talkative coworkers,silly desk toys and emails of lovely cats can distract you from getting things done. 2 Clearing your desk is a must.And don't forget to log off your email completely when working.
You check your smart phone every three minutes.
Frequently checking email adds up over time,especially if you are trying to relax.Put down the phone. 3
You don't plan your day.
A day without plans can quickly turn into a day of doing things for other people,or doing things that aren't really necessary,therefore wasting your time even more. 4 Then don't forget to stop working so you can rest and relax.
