　　Movies that have had a great influence on society and awareness tend to force us to care about topics outside of our comfort zone. While the characters in the following two classic storied suffer from medical issues, they have an effect on our understanding of illness and the human spirit.
　　●My Left Foot (1989)
　　Health issue: cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹)
　　Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Brenda Fricker
　　Plot summary: It is a true story of Irish writer and cerebral palsy victim Christy Brown. He is a young Irish man suffering from cerebral palsy, which make most of his body motionless except for his left foot. Because of his disorder, Brown is considered mentally useless by most people who know him, including his own father. However, with support from his mother, Brown learns to write and paint with his left foot and eventually becomes a famous artist and author.
　　Influence: Although Brown’s 1970 novel Down All the Days was quite popular, by the 1980s, many still associated cerebral palsy with his complete mental and physical disability. The film helped to change people’s wrong ideas by stressing Brown literary and artistic contribution, his sense of humor and struggles with depression.
　　●The King’s Speech (2010)
　　Health issue: the stutter (口吃)
　　Starring: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter
　　Plot summary: GeorgeⅥ, King of the United Kingdom, suffers from a stuttering disorder, so most people think he is unfit to lead the country. But with the help of a speech expert, King George Ⅵ overcomes his disorder and becomes a capable leader.
　　Influence: The King’s Speech has been praised for its accurate description of the challenges commonly faced by GeorgeⅥ who had a speech disorder. “This movie raised awareness of the complexities of the stutter and also of the help that is available to those in need,” Jane Fraser, President of The Stuttering Foundation, tells Yahoo Health.

　　Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two¬thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
　　However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.
　　In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog” ，and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”．
　　What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
　　The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers.  If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
　　24．The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
　　A. early       B. sweetly        C. quickly     D. smoothly
　　25．Some cats and dogs may fight when________.
　　A. they are cold to each other
