On Jan. 3, a netizen（网民）nicknamed “Programmer Humor”published a short story on his micro-blog. It said that there was an old lady who swept nearly every inch of his Internet company. When she passed by a programmer, she took a look at the codes on the programmer’s computer and kindly reminded him, “Be careful, the stack is overfilled!”
Certainly, it is a casual and fictitious（虚构的）story made up by the micro-blogger. However, no one would have guessed that the short blog would eventually cause the first great Internet meme（网络快速爆红现象） of 2011 in China. Suddenly, the mysterious “Sweeping Old Lady” is showing up nearly everywhere and reminding professionals of their mistakes. From 8 a. m. on Jan. 5, some netizens collected stories of the “Sweeping Old Lady” and found she had appeared to give advice in 150 kinds of careers. A netizen even said he had met with a similar situation in real life.
Actually, the “Sweeping Old Lady” is not new figure, but is based on the “sweeping monk （和尚）”in Louis Cha’s famous Kung fu novel of “Tian Long Ba Bu”. The “sweeping monk” is an old monk and does the lowest class of work in Shaolin Temple, but he is actually the No. 1 master in the noel both in Kung fu and in the study of Buddhism.
The “Sweeping Old Lady” is also a great modest master. Lots of netizens wish that they could have such a lady beside them to give them precious suggestions at a key time.
Although there may be 1,000 “Sweeping Old Ladies” in 1,000 people’s minds, it cannot prevent the “Sweeping Old Lady” from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet.
“Programmer Humor” said he is just a programmer in the real world and once he saw the story about the “Sweeping Old Lady,” he wrote it down in his micro-blog because it was funny. He never knew who the original writer of the story was and never thought the story could be so popular.

 Personally , I like Chinese New Year’s movies very much . Because they are filled with joyous themes , and this kind of movie is a good choice for people who finally finish a year’s hard work and wish to add some refreshment to their new year .

And it proved to be true that Chinese New Year’s movies are in need , 55___. However , after less than 10 years of flourishing , they are now facing a great decline in box office income .

I think the failure of Chinese New Year’s movies is for two main reasons :56______. Audiences are not fools . They watch movies in order to get satisfaction , happiness and enlightenment（启发）,not to be tricked by meaningless , same stories . If a movie tells a boring story , how can filmmakers expect applause （鼓掌）from the audience .

57______. The success of a movie is mostly determined by a fine story and good performances. If performers aren’t able to communicate a character’s emotions exactly , no matter how wonderful a story is , the movie may be a failure . So a popular New Year’s movie ought to be creative and elaborately（精心地）produced .

My favourite Chinese New Year’s movie is “Be There or Be Square” (Bu Jian Bu San), directed by Feng Xiaogang . 58_____ . The hero is a Chinese man who struggles hard in the US . One day , he meets a girl from Beijing . The two share the same goal : making their fortunes in America . After a series of ups and downs , they fail to realize their dreams . But , they finally fall in love with each other and decide to go back to China to make a brand new start .

Feng is good at providing humorous and simple lines with deep and strongly felt meaning . As far as the audience is concerned , it was acceptable and interesting . And the leading actor and actress showed superior performances . They cooperated so well and acted so naturally that it seemed they were truly a pair of lovers .

From the simple but moving story , I got a lot . Besides money and fame , there are many other beautiful things worth pursuing（追求）and loving .

59_____ . Whether Chinese New Year’s movies will last in the New Year’s film market depends mostly on the filmmakers’ attitude towards movie production . I hope that in the coming new year , I can spend several hours in a cinema enjoying a good movie instead of just chatting with my friends to escape a boring movie .

A. And at the same time we hope that directors choose actors and actresses carefully

B. for they were well received by common people in the late 1990s

C. Good stories and actors are what the audience desire

D. lack of creation and low quality of production .

E. the history of movie is unknown

F. It’s a story about love and life

G. there are a lot of famous film directors.
