Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times praised Avatar“s “powerful“ visual accomplishments, but suggested the dialogue was “flat“ and the characterisations “obvious“. A film analyst at Exhibitor Relations has agreed, noting that Avat
8、ar has cemented the use of 3-D as a production and promotional tool for blockbuster films, rather than as a mere niche or novelty experiment. “This is why all these 3-D venues were built“, he said. “This is the one. The behemoth. The holy grail of 3-D has finally arrived“. C. Those who embrace 3-D n
9、ote that it spices up a trip to the cinema by adding a more active “embodied“ layer of experience instead of the viewer passively receiving the film through eyes and ears only. A blogger on Animation Ideas writes, “.when 3-D is clone welllike in the flying scenes in Up , How to Train Your Dragon and
10、 Avatar , there is an added feeling of vertigo. If you have any fear of heights, the 3-D really adds to this element.“ Kevin Carr argues that the backlash against 3-D is similar to that which occurred against CGI 2 several years ago, and points out that CGI is now widely regarded as part of the film
11、-maker“s artistic toolkit. He also notes that new technology is frequently seen to be a “gimmick“ in its early days, pointing out that many commentators slapped the first “talkie“ films of the early 1920s with this same label. D. But not everyone greets the rise of 3-D with open arms. Some ophthalmo
12、logists point out that 3-D can have unsettling physical effects for many viewers. Dr. Michael Rosenberg, a professor at Northwestern University, has pointed out that many people go through life with minor eye disturbancesa slight muscular imbalance, for examplethat does not interrupt day-to-day acti
13、vities. In the experience of a 3-D movie, however, this problem can be exacerbated through the viewer trying to concentrate on unusual visual phenomena. Dr. Deborah Friedman, from the University of Rochester Medical Center, notes that the perception of depth conjured through three dimensions does no
14、t complement the angles from which we take in the world. Eyestrains, headaches and nausea are therefore a problem for around 15% of a 3-D film audience. E. Film critic Roger Ebert warns that 3-D is detrimental to good film-making. Firstly, he argues, the technology is simply unnecessary; 2-D movies
15、are “already“ 3-D, as far as our minds are concerned. Adding the extra dimension with technology, instead of letting our minds do the work, can actually be counter-purposeful and make the over-all effect seem clumsy and contrived. Ebert also points out that the special glasses dim the effect by soak
16、ing up light from the screen, making 3-D films a slightly duller experience than they might otherwise be. Finally, Ebert suggests that 3-D encourages film-makers to undercut drama and narrative in favour of simply piling on more gimmicks and special effects. “Hollywood is racing headlong toward the
17、kiddie market,“ he says, pointing to Disney“s announcement that it will no longer make traditional films in favour of animation, franchises, and superheroes. F. Whether or not 3-D becomes a powerful force for the film-maker“s vision and the film-going experience, or goes down in history as an over-h
18、yped, expensive novelty, the technology certainly shows no signs of fading in the popularity stakes at the moment. Clash of the Titans , Alice in Wonderland and How to Train Your Dragon have all recently benefited at the box office due to the added sales that 3-D provides, and with Avatar“s record s

During research in the 1790s, Hahnemann began experi
24、menting with quinine, an alkaloid derived from cinchona bark that was well known at the time to have a positive effect on fever. Hahnemann started dosing himself with quinine while in a state of good health, and reported in his journals that his extremities went cold, he experienced palpitations, an
25、 “infinite anxiety“, a trembling and weakening of the limbs, reddening cheeks and thirst“in short“, he concluded, “all the symptoms of relapsing fever presented themselves successively.“ Hahnemann“s main observation was that things which create problems for healthy people cure those problems in sick
26、 people, and this became his first principle of homeopathy: simila similibus (with help from the same). While diverging from the principle of apothecary practice at the timewhich was contraria contrariis (with help from the opposite)the efficacy of simila similibus was reaffirmed by subsequent devel
27、opments in the field of vaccinations. Hahnemann“s second principle was minimal dosingtreatments should be taken in the most diluted form at which they remain effective. This negated any possible toxic effects of simila similibus . In 1988 the French immunologist Jacques Benveniste took minimal dosin
28、g to new extremes when he published a paper in the prestigious scientific journal Nature in which he suggested that very high dilutions of the anti-lgE antibody could affect human basophil granulocytes, the least common of the granulocytes that make up about 0.01% to 0.3% of white blood cells. The p
29、oint of controversy, however, was that the water in Benveniste“s test had been so diluted that any molecular evidence of the antibodies no longer existed. Water molecules, the researcher concluded, had a biologically active component that a journalist later termed “water memory“. A number of efforts
30、 from scientists in Britain, France and the Netherlands to duplicate Benveniste“s research were unsuccessful, however, and to this day no peer-reviewed study under broadly accepted conditions has been able to confirm the validity of “water memory“. The third principle of homeopathy is “the single re
31、medy“. Exponents of this principle believe that it would be too difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain the potential effects of multiple homeopathic remedies delivered simultaneously. If it did work, they suggest, one could not know quite why it worked, turning homeopathy into an ambiguous guess
32、ing game. If it did not work, neither patient nor practitioner would know whether the ingredients were all ineffective, or whether they were only ineffective in combination with one another. Combination remedies are gaining in popularity, but classical homeopaths who rely on the single remedy approa
33、ch warn these are not more potent, nor do they provide more treatment options. The availability of combination remedies, these homeopaths suggest, has been led by consumers wanting more options, not from homeopathic research indicating their efficacy. Homeopathy is an extremely contentious form of m
34、edicine, with strong assertions coming from both critics and supporters of the practice. “Homeopathy: There“s nothing in it“ announces the tagline to 10:23, a major British anti-homeopathy campaign. At 10.23 a.m. on 30 January 2010, over 400 supporters of the 10:23 stood outside Boots pharmacies and
35、 swallowed an entire bottle each of homeopathic pills in an attempt to raise awareness about the fact that these remedies are made of sugar and water, with no active components. This, defenders of homeopathy say, is entirely the point. Homeopathic products do not rely on ingredients that become toxi
36、c at high doses, because the water retains the “memory“ that allows the original treatment to function. Critics also point out the fact that homeopathic preparations have no systematic design to them, making it hard to monitor whether or not a particular treatment has been efficacious. Homeopaths em
37、brace this uncertainty. While results may be less certain, they argue, the non-toxic nature of homeopathy means that practitioner and patient can experiment until they find something that works without concern for side effects. Traditional medicine, they argue, assaults the body with a cocktail of d
38、rugs that only tackles the symptoms of disease, while homeopathy has its sights aimed on the causes. Homeopaths suggest this approach leads to kinder, gentler, more effective treatment. Finally, critics allege that when homeopathy has produced good results, these are exceedingly dependent on the pla
39、cebo effect, and cannot justify the resources, time and expense that the homeopathic tradition absorbs. The placebo effect is a term that describes beneficial outcomes from a treatment than can be attributed to the patient“s expectations concerning the treatment rather than from the treatment itself
40、. Basically, the patient “thinks“ himself into feeling better. Defenders suggest that homeopathy can go beyond this psychological level. They point to the successful results of homeopathy on patients who are unconscious at the time of treatment, as well as on animals.（分数：7.00）(1).Complete each sente
