But the hilarious (欢闹的) tune never made it into the animated hit: It was cut from the movie after his vocals were recorded and storyboards had been drawn up. The missing: “Unmeltable Me”is revealed now at , ahead of the home release of “Frozen II”, which features the deleted scene as an extra.The ditty was the first song written for the sequel. The new song features Gad's Olaf singing style, playing harpsichord (羽管键琴) accompaniment. The instrument was requested by directors for comedic reasons. The harpsichord arrangement made it funny and different. The filmmakers originally wanted “Unmeltable Me”to explain an important story point –why Olaf no longer needed the magical “flurry”cloud Elsa had created at the end of "Frozen" to keep the snowman from melting in warm weather.Creating the flurry effect was so difficult for the animators that the directors decided Elsa would have perfected a permafrost coating for Olaf by the second movie. The scene features Olaf doing just about everything to show off his new permafrost coating, from sticking a lit candle into his head to placing his head in a Sterno-heated buffet tray.Olaf's audience in the scene is a group of dignitaries who have traveled to Arendelle from around the world to meet the powerful Elsa at a state dinner. Elsa and Anna are held up, so Olaf fills time entertaining the assembled guests with the song. Sadly, “Unmeltable Me”was cut before it could be fully animated.Gad’s Olaf still received his big song in “Frozen 2”singing “When IAm Older”happily.“Unmeltable Me' is definitely fun, but that’s show business,”says Lopez, who especially loves how Olaf ends the song on an unusual high note.1.

Then, Tinder style, users will swipe to “Like”or“Dislike”them.Once that’s done, users pick which streaming services they subscribe to, including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and others, and the search engine will serve up recommendations based on their tastes.Google’s latest update may seem minor, but it’s welcome in an age when consumers are inundated with①streaming services, each with thousands of titles to watch.It’s also incredibly timely. Over the next 12 months, consumers will find themselves wading through②loads of new options for streaming service subscriptions and content.Apple is expected to debut its long-awaited Apple TV+ service this fall, with at least 34original series and five movies, including The Morning Show, a drama starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell, and Dickinson, a comedic take on Poet Emily Dickinson’s Life, starring True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld.Disney, meanwhile, plans on rolling out Disney Plus on Nov. 12 for $6.99 a month, or $12.99as part of a larger bundle that includes Hulu and ESPN+. The Burbank, Calif.-based entertainment giant has been more forthcoming about its service in more recent months, promising a day one launch featuring more than 300 available movies and 7,500 TV episodes. Original shows in the works include the live-action Star Wars spin-off③The Mandalorian, a Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi series with Ewan McGregor, and a revival of the teen sitcom Lizzie McGuire, starring Hilary Duff.CThe CDC defines an epidemic as “an increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area.”The official definition of a pandemic is “an outbreak of disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an high proportion of the population,”according to Merriam-Webster. In other words, a serious and sudden outbreak of disease would start out as an epidemic, but some may then escalate to pandemic once the disease has spread across countries or continents.The first major flu-related pandemic was the Russian Flu, which traveled around the world inthe late 1800s. An outbreak of the Spanish Flu followed roughly 20 years later. The mostwell-known pandemic in recent modern history was HIV which was first identified in the early 1980s. Famous epidemics in U.S. history include the spread of smallpox (天花) in the 1600s, scarlet fever in the 1800s, polio throughout a big chunk of the early to mid–20th century, and several waves of measles outbreaks. These outbreaks didn’t reach pandemic level because they occurred within one country or a region of it. Despite the differences between an epidemic and a pandemic, the fact of the matter is that you can get very sick from either one—and the effects can be devastating to entire communities.Many countries have devised pandemic plans that help officials respond quickly when an outbreak occurs. Often, the focus is on mitigation —containing the outbreak through quarantine and immediate treatment —and deploying critical resources to affected populations. In the United States, the CDC has developed a national pandemic influenza plan that outlines the response plan for flu-related illnesses. One element of the plan is “community mitigation,”or trying to keep the illness contained to a limited area. Recommended strategies include frequent hand washing, sanitizing surfaces and electronic gadgets that are used often, diligent cleaning procedures, and staying home when you feel sick.1. Which one can replace the underlined word in the third paragraph?A. Keeping cleaning.B. Reducing seriousness.C. Receiving treatment.D. Working voluntarily.2. Which is NOT the actual case of pandemic?A. Russian Flu.B. HIV.C. Spanish Flu.D. Smallpox.3. What can we know about pandemic and epidemic according to the passage?A.An epidemic will become a pandemic if it is not controlled in time.B. They both don’t result in too serious health issues.C. Pandemic is occurred in a smaller area compared to epidemic.D. They both don’t lead to devastating effects on many countries.4. What measures can people take to cut the transmission of pandemic?A. Believe in yourself and keep a good mentality.B. Stay at home and isolate yourself when you feel sick.C. Take medicine without consulting or going to professional hospitals.D. Clean your hands or electronic gadgets once in a while.DGEF announces new investment in Central America's blue economyAt the Our Ocean conference in Oslo, the head of the Global Environment Facility announced a $6.8 million contribution from the GEF Trust Fund to help seven countries across Central America jointly①assess opportunities and challenges from the blue economy along their Pacific coasts. The financing will help Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico,and Panama analyze and develop action plans to work together on coastal and marine ecosystems, along the lines of transboundary (跨界) initiatives②the GEF has supported elsewhere in Latin America through its International Waters work program.“We strongly support this science-based effort to identify threats and opportunities for Central America’s Pacific coastal areas, and see it as a model that can be replicated③in other regions,”said Naoko Ishii, GEF CEO and Chairperson. “It is essential that we jointly sustain④healthy coastal and marine ecosystems in support of economic and environmental goals including the preservation of biodiversity. We are pleased to support this effort to inform policy priority-setting and encourage collaboration where it is urgently needed.”The GEF’s International Waters work program brings together 156 developing countries and24 donor⑤countries to jointly manage transboundary water resources and support a sustainable blue economy. GEF-supported projects in this area aim to increase coordination between sectors ⑥such as tourism, renewable energy production, fisheries, aquaculture (水产养殖), and coastaldevelopment in pursuit of economic and environmental goals.The new Central American project, to be enforced by the UN Development Program (UNDP),is designed to help assess the socioeconomic and ecological opportunities and challenges related to the blue economy, which stretch beyond national borders. It will include scientific analysis of pollution, degradation⑦of coastal and marine habitats, fisheries activity, and climate change in the area, and set out strategies to jointly address these challenges.The GEF has previously supported similar collaborative efforts in 23 large marine ecosystems worldwide, including the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and the Humboldt Current.Lessons from those projects, as well as GEF initiatives in East Asia and other coastal areas, inform the design of the new venture.In addition to the blue economy, GEF International Waters financing also supports conservation and sustainability on the high seas and enhancing security of freshwater ecosystems such as shared groundwater and lakes and river basins. Countries participating in GEF projects have negotiated and agreed on numerous regional cooperation frameworks, treaties, and protocols.EHere’s what happens to your mouth, teeth, and gums –beyond stinky morning breath –when you miss recommended brushings. Think of your toothbrush, floss, and mouth rinse (漱口水) as the good guys of oral health care. The bad guys are bacteria. “Bacteria thrive on food left on or in between teeth, and it grows at lightning speed,”says Lee Gause from Smile Design Manhattan in New York. “If you only brush once a day, bacteria build up in the mouth and lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease.”Of course, bad breath is just a minor misdemeanor compared to the real crime of what happens when you don’t brush your teeth twice a day.What happens when you don’t brush your teeth? Picture millions of bacteria trespassing on your teeth and gums. Whenever you eat foods or drinks with sugar in them, it leaves a sticky film of bacteria, called plaque. The bacteria in plaque creates acids that attack tooth enamel (牙釉质), and eventually the enamel breaks down, causing a little hole in the tooth.It doesn’t stop there. The bad guys of bacteria are a hardy bunch. “Brushing alone misses 75 percent of your mouth, leaving millions of germs behind,”says Gause. A three-step defense will protect your teeth and gums. “I recommend brushing, flossing, and swishing with mouth rinse twice a day.”Flossing helps remove food particles, but Gause says mouth rinse can help clear out hard to reach areas and penetrate plaque to break down its structure.Besides, brushing your teeth just once a day can lead to other serious problems, including gingivitis (牙龈炎), the milder form of periodontal (牙周的) disease. It causes havoc on your gums, leaving them red and swollen, not to mention the bleeding that you may see when you spit during brushing. With good behavior it is reversible.Stick with Dr. Gause’s advice that “brushing, flossing, and rinsing should be a part of every morning and evening routine.”1. What can cause bad breath according to the passage?A. Staying up too late at night.B. Not using floss or mouth rinse.C. Brushing teeth only once a day.D. Eating foods with sugar for breakfast.2. Which is the RIGHT process of causing little holes in the tooth?A. Eating food –leaving plaque –creating acids –attacking tooth enamel.B. Leaving plaque –eating food –attacking tooth enamel –creating acids.C. Creating acids –leaving plaque–eating food –attacking tooth enamel.D.Attacking tooth enamel –creating acid –eating food –leaving plaque.3. What can help clear out the areas in the mouth that are hard to reach?A. Brushing.B. Flossing.C. Rinsing.D. Drinking.4. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To tell readers how to protect their teeth.B. To advise readers how to brush teeth correctly.C. To tell readers that bacteria are harmful to teeth.D.
