• 1．The minimalist lifestyle needs to be considered only after we own more than we need.Nowadays，the rapid development of the society has brought a lot of wealth and material possessions，which has become a burden for many.In addition，the fast-paced life we have today makes us busier than ever.Therefore，I think a minimalist lifestyle is necessary to help people ease their burden and focus on the best part of life.
     Although I'm not a strict practitioner of minimalism，I do benefit a lot from a simpler life.When I got employed in 2018，I wasted my salaries on lots of clothes，shoes，cosmetics，books and food to enrich my life.However，piles of things made my room messy and a lot of stuff things had to be thrown away unused.
     About one year ago，I laid my hands on a book named Danshari，which encourages people to cut out or throw away unnecessary things.Following the instructions，I started to change my lifestyle and surprisingly found out that my life is much better with less.
     Another bad habit I have worked hard to change is spending too much time on my phone and iPad as a means to free myself from the work stress.A lot of my valuable time was wasted on various time-killing apps which didn't do much good to my self-improvement.
     Adopting a simple life can be a bit challenging and needs constant effort.Here are some tips I find helpful.First，concentrate on things that are really important and meaningful.Second，access to information should be simple and well-targeted；reading books is a good alternative to meaningless social interaction and time-killing apps.Third，purchase fewer goods with better quality and tidy up your room regularly.
     A minimalist lifestyle isn't equal to austerity（樸素）.It's a habit we can form to simplify our life.With less desire both materially and mentally，there will be more room for self-improvement，happiness and inner fulfillment.

  （2）What does a minimalist lifestyle mean？

  
  A．Buying a lot of things we like.

• 3．Audiences may be ready to return.Will they have anything to watch？It is turning out to be a long pause.
     Cinemas across the West closed in March and，despite attempts to reopen in the summer，the box office has not recovered.From October 9th Cineworld，the world's second-largest chain，will temporarily shut its 536 Regal theaters in America and its 127 British ones.AMC，the biggest，will cut the opening hours at some Odeon cinemas in Britain.
     Early in the pandemic the problem was audiences.In March Disney's "Onward" closed as people refused to breathe the air with a crowd of strangers.Business got harder when governments ordered theaters to shut.
     As countries have cased（解除）restrictions and audiences prepared to return，cinemas are finding little to show them.In China，where Covid-19 seems under control，studios have resumed pumping out hits.But Hollywood will not risk premiering（首映）costly blockbusters（大片）while many markets，including New York and California，remain closed，and cinema-goers cautious.Most big titles have been postponed.
     Nine months without income would be disastrous（災(zāi)難性的）.America's National Association of Theatre Owners predicts that seven out of ten small or medium-sized cinema companies will go bust（破產(chǎn)），which it has urged Congress to approve.
     Both AMC and Cineworld are likely to stop a contract or file for going bust，believes Moody's，a ratings agency；AMC could run out of cash by January.Share prices of Western operators have dropped sharply this year，and are now worth a fifth as much as five years ago.Chinese ones have done better.
