Everyone has a dream. We are on the way to achieve it whether the way is smooth or tough. As Senior 3 student, I have the same dream as my classmates that I can be admitted to an ideal university.

The historical documentary, Mr. Deng Goes to Washington, which was first shown in the capital on May 12, not only reveals the details of an attempted assassination(刺殺) of Deng, but is also the first time that animated (動畫的) images of China’s leaders have appeared on the silver screen. The film tells the story of Deng’s nine-day visit to the US in 1979, only a month after China established diplomatic(外交的) relations with the US for the first time after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.

Lv Muzi, the film’s producer, said the film includes 12 animated sequences of Deng, drawn in French, American and Japanese styles, as well as China’s traditional shadow puppetry(皮影) style.

Hu Yuchen, who has drawn cartoons for leaders including former premier, Wen Jiabao, is the artist behind the animated images of Deng. Among the three versions of images he drew, director, Fu Hongxing, chose to use the version which was moderately realistic.

“Deng’s animated images are not static(靜止的) in the film. When he’s at meetings, the images are more serious, and when he’s at a party, he’s portrayed in a more lively way,” said Zhu.

For the young animator, animation can tell the story of that period of history better to younger viewers. “At first glance, animation may seem simple, but in reality, we need to do a large amount of homework, like checking what dishes were served at a dinner or what paintings were displayed in a particular room.” Zhu said he and the team went through a lot of historical documents and reviewed video clips (錄像片段) in the process of creation.

Fu said the film is in honor of Deng’s contribution to China as well as his influence on generations of Chinese people. Production was completed last year, which marked the l10th anniversary of Deng’s birth and also the 35th anniversary of Sino-US diplomatic relations.

1.Mr. Deng Goes to Washington uses all of the following styles EXCEPT_______ .

A. French and American styles

B. Japanese style

C. traditional Chinese style

D. Korean style

2.What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph, “portrayed “, probably mean?

A. painted. B. acted.

C. imagined. D. decorated.

3.Which of the following is NOT true about the documentary?

A. The version of Deng’s image that was chosen was moderately realistic.

B. This is the first time a documentary has been made of a Chinese leader.

C. The animator did lots of work in the process of creation.

D. It contains 12 animated sequences of Deng.

4.Why was the documentary made ?

A. To help younger viewers remember that period of history.

B. To honor Deng’s contribution to China.

C. To entertain the Chinese people

D. To emphasize the importance Sino-US diplomatic relations.

Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.

Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.(配件)

Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!

"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韓國外國語大學(xué)). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.

Tim Greenhalgh, a professor , explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.

1.We can infer from the article that _________.

A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toys

B. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults

C. Kidults like to have vitamins very much

D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much

2.According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way EXCEPT that _______.

A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids

B. it can help kidults feel relaxed

C. it is helpful to solve some social problems

D. it can make people loyal to one's parents

3.According to the writer, _______.

A. being a kidult is nothing wrong

B. kidults have mental problems

C. our society is very dull

D. some people can never grow up
