People love watching movies that star dogs. . The Call of the Wild is about a domesticated(家养的) dog who rediscovers his wild instincts（(本能).

Released in China on Nov.13, the movie is based on the US writer Jack London's classic novel The Call of the wild (1903). The main character, Buck, is a big dog who lives a comfortable life in California. and shipped to the cold north to be used as a sled dog(拉雪橇的狗). He finds out how cruel(残酷的)nature can be after he's taken away from civilization(文明). After fighting another sled dog, .This leads Buck to an important question: Should he become civilized once more or become wild?

This is one of the themes that London are best known for—nature versus civilization. To better present this idea, London wrote Buck like he would write a human character—he thinks, feels and hurts like we do. , but the new one is different, as it uses both areal dog and computer-generated imagery(计算机生成图像) to create Buck. This allows the story to be told from Buck's point of view(视角).

“, with Buck as the protagonist(主角),” screenwriter Michael Green told USA Today." Other films have told a version of John Thornton's story with a dog at his side. We were able to make Buck's journey something we could all experience."

The film The Farewell tells a true story about the director's family. Billi, a Chinese American, lives in NewY ork with her . Unluckily, her grandmother, who lives in Changchun, is seriously ill and has three months to live according to the doctor. Billi's parents and other relatives all come to Changchun, but they decide not to tell Billi's grandmother the bad news for the rest of her life. And they plan a wedding(婚礼) as an to bring everyone together before she dies. This is veryin China.

, Billi, who grows up in America, can't understand this. In her opinion, the patient has the right to know about his or her illness. It is illegal(违法的) to the patient in the dark. If you go to the end of your life, you may want to do something and meet some people one last time.

What causes the ways of thinking? And is it right or wrong to lie to Grandmother? This is just what the director wants people to think about.

“Without music, life would be a mistake," a famous German philosopher(哲学家)Friedrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets(预算).

For example, Chicago public schools hurt art education when they fired over 1, 000 teachers. Among them, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and Britain, music classes are not thought to be as important as classes like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is beneficial(有益的)in many ways.

Playing music is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. When making music, you need different abilities to work together. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.
