| Meeting and greeting people aren't as easy as one might think it is. There are many ways to say hello to people from different cultures. Shaking hands is usually the standard way of greeting someone in the West. In America, people usually shake hands when they are first introduced, but family members and friends may kiss or hug to demonstrate their affection. Sometimes, people shake hands when they want to say goodbye or conclude a business deal. In Korea, men bow and shake hands to greet each other. Women do not usually shake hands. Japanese people also bow to greet people. In Chile, people usually shake hands but women also peck each other on the cheek. They usually just kiss the air. Men sometimes give each other warm hugs called "abrazos." In Finland, people prefer warm but firm handshakes. Whatever the culture is, saying hello is always a polite thing to do.

| Comic book characters are the latest stars to hit the big screen. Comic books have been popular since the 1930's. But today, people are losing interest in the magazines. Characters such as Superman have been in print for over 70 years. However, after so long, there aren't many stories left to tell. But there is still money to be made in movies. Since the 1950s, television programs and movies have been based on Superman, Batman, and others. Lately, we have seen a wave of these films and it is paying off. Spider-Manthe Movie earned over US$150 million in just its first week of release. But why the new interest by movie companies? First there is already an existing fan base. Since comics have been around for so long, fans are both young and old. Second, these films are always action movies with lots of fighting, explosions and special effects. Action films often do well at the theater. Third, the marketing afterwards brings in huge returns. Dolls, costumes and video games create a huge income. Marvel, one of the biggest comic book companies, created over 4,700 comic characters. So movie makers won't be running out of ideas for a while.

(影片/唱片的) 發行 5.fan n. 影迷; 歌迷 6.explosion n. 爆炸 explode vt. & vi. 炸掉; 爆炸 explosive n. 炸藥 7.special effects n. 特效 (恆用複數) 8.costume n. 戲服 片語大補帖 1.lose interest in... 對……失去興趣 2.be in print 出版 be out of print 絕版 例:That book is no longer in print. In other words, it is out of print. (那本書不再出版了。換言之，它已絕版了。) 3.pay off 有回報 例:John's hard work has finally paid off. He is now head of that big company. (約翰的努力終於有了回報。他現在是那家大公司的總裁。) 4.bring in huge returns 帶來很大的回收 5.run out of... 用光…… 例:We're running out of cash. Could you lend us some? (我們的現金快用光了。您可否借一些給我們？) |
