The Indian movie Dangal(摔跤吧！爸爸) has become a huge hit in China. It has earned almost $170 million in China since its release there on May 5.
Much has been written about why Dangal has enjoyed such big success in China. Some people say one reason is the film’s star and producer, Aamir Khan. He is famous in India’s Bollywood film industry. Two of his earlier films were also big hits in China. But he is not the only reason. Media has pointed out how it shows similarities between parental systems in China and India.
Dangal is based on the true story of a man who enjoyed the sport of wrestling(摔跤). He competedas a wrestler, but never could realize his lifelong dream: winning a gold medal. As a father, he wanted his son to win the medal. But his wife only gave birth to daughters. So he finally decided to train them to be world-class wrestlers.
The movie is more serious than most Bollywood productions, which tell happy love stories and include colorful music and dance performances.
Edward Chan, a professor, says the strict way of parenting in the film is something people in China can easily relate to. “I think the father’s role described by the movie in India is quite similar to the culture, especially the traditional culture in China.”
The Chinese government-supported Global Times newspaper pointed that movie critics(评论家) in China did not like Dangal. Most of them agreed with the fact that the father in the film was forcing his daughters to become wrestlers. But the film Dangal is really aimed to educate children to work for their dreams. 24.What can we learn from the text? A. Most films from Bollywood are serious. B. Daughters perform worse in the sport than sons.
C. Indian parents’ roles are similar to those in China in some way. D. The films produced by Aamir Khan are not popular with Chinese.

If you grow up in America, you must know this little foodie(美食家) poem, “You scream! I scream! We all scream for ice cream!” For most Americans, the phrase “ice cream” brings out memories of summer. Ice cream is the oldest fashioned treat, and it has an ancient history.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty are believed to have been the first to eat “a frozen milk-like dessert”, which was made with milk that was heated with flour. Later, camphor(樟脑) was added to improve the taste.
In Medieval Times, Arabs enjoyed an icy drink called sherbet(冰冻果子露). This cold drink often went with fruits. Over time, the drink became popular with the European upper class. Italians are said to have learned this drink-making skill, with the French following soon after.
The 17th century saw ice drinks made into frozen desserts. With sugar added, sorbet(雪酪) was created. Antonio Latini is the first person to create a milk-based sorbet, which is considered as the first “official” ice cream.
It is impossible to say how exactly ice cream reached America, but it probably arrived with European settlers in the early 1700’s. In 1790, the first ice cream store opened in New York. During the summer of the same year, our first president, George Washington, is said to have spent $200 to satisfy his thirst for the lovely treat. The Lincolns had a taste for ice cream.
