Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds
people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing－he looks
exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the
nation"s leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a
chance to "serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes
very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters
and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government.
Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline
gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his
First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).
The film is 100% American. However, if you"ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job
running the country than the people in power, then you"ll enjoy Dave!
B. To discus the Americans" ideas about the President.
C. To make a comparison between Dave and other films.
D. To introduce a new film to the reader.
B. Kevin Kline.
C. Bill Mitchell.
D. Ivan Reitman.
B. the director
C. an actor
D. a look-alike
B. The author thinks highly of the film.
C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.
D. The author wishes to become the American President.

Following the UK Home Secretary’s meeting on reform of the student immigration system, the UK
government recently announced the end of the post-study work visa from April 2012. This will force tens
of thousands of Chinese students to leave the UK after graduation.
Sadly, the domestic（国内的）job market doesn’t welcome them with open arms. A report by
Tigtag.com at the end of 2011 showed that over 35 percent of students admitted that they have
employment problems.
"Returning students often have fluent English, creative minds and a serious attitude toward work,"said
Zhang Tingwen, an HR expert in ChinaHR.com. “But lack of work experience is a big problem.” Xia Lei, an HR manager, responded to Zhang. “We need people who can work for us. We don’t need people
from big name universities to attract customers”.
Difference in work practices is another problem that worries employers, Zhang pointed out. “Some
returning students might be used to Western ways of dealing with people and things.”
Huang Shanshan, 25, got a job in a communication company in Shenzhen.“I once worked part-time in UK. My colleagues ate snacks when they felt hungry, even during working time or in meetings.” Huang
brought some cakes to the office and ate them. When her manager saw that, he told her not to eat at
workplace. “It took me some time to adjust to company rules in China,” said Huang.
