Once again, rumors are spreading. Judgement Day, this time, is set to happen on December 21st, 2012. The date originated from the Mayan calendar, but actually gained popularity through the hit movie, "2012".
How will the world end? and how do we know the exact date? There are many theories: A destruction from outer space; a solar storm, a shift in the earth' s poles and so on. They all supposedly pointed to the date of December 21st 2012. Unfortunately, none of it is true.
Zhu Jin, director of Bejjing Planetarium, said, "For earth itself, the end will be billions of years away from now. And for us humans, there is a very small chance that we may be affected by some astronomical factors. However, we don't have the ability to foresee such events so far. So when someone tells you the world is going to end on an exact date, it must be fake."
But the truth hasn9 t stopped people from believing. In the sci-fi morrie"2012" , the director imagined the end of the world based on the Mayan calendar. The film earned nearly 770 nullion US dollars worldwide. Ning Hong, Hebei Province, said. "The movie 2012 did get one thing right. There are arks(方舟)being. made in China, but they' re not being built secretly inside the mountains. They are constructed here in the courtyard of a factory.
In April, Liu Qiyuan quit his furniture business and devoted himself to developing these huge round balls. He doesn't believe the end is near, but he wants to be prepared just in case.
Liu Qiyuan, the "Ark" builder, said, "The concept originated twenty years ago. The Tangshan earthquake had flattened our house, so I wanted to build a shelter that would’n fall Then in 2004, I saw the tsunami in Indonesia that killed so many people. Then I realized it should be something that could withstand(经受住) the earthquake and float on water."
Liu is hoping to use his invention as a life boat on the sea. He' s planning to test his product on the water next year.
It turns out that rumor, though false, is good for business. Doomsday(世界末日) discounts and products are hot on many online stores. While it's surely attracted attention, many complain that it misleads consumers.
Their purpose is to promote products. If they believe the world is going to end, who would buy things? Money would be useless, too.
41. The purpose of the movie "2012" was_________
A to popularize scientific knowledge for the viewers
B. to tell the viewers an interesting factual story
C. to make a profit from the viewers
D. to warn the viewers of a disastrous event

C. he was almost killed in Indonesia in 2004
D. he wanted to make preparations for destructive natural disasters
44. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
