At Japan’s Studio Ghibli, which has produced extraordinary animated films(動畫片）since 1985, the best-known figure has always been one of the company’s founders, Hayao Miyazaki.

But an equally key figure is co-founder Isao Takahata, who has recently made a new feature, The Tale of Princess Kagnya. It is an unforgettable feature with an unusual hand-drawn aesthetic(美感).

The title character is a tiny baby girl who appears in a bamboo plant. She is found by a woodcutter, who takes her home and brings her up. He believes the little girl is a princess, and sets about preparing what he regards as a suitable world for her.

This original story is the oldest work of fiction in Japan; every child knows it in its simplified folktale form.

“It is a fascinating story with elements of wonder, humour, and sorrow,’’ Takahata says, “but these three elements are scattered(分散）about.” The chief challenge for anyone trying to adapt it is that “we are completely unable to comprehend what was in the heart of Princess Kaguya. Because of this, despite its being well known, few people consider it interesting. There have been several attempts at making a film out of the story, but they ended up being abandoned.”

He was connected with one of these attempts, but no one paid any attention to his concept.

“Fifty-five years later, I thought my concept was still appealing, and used it as a basis for turning the story into a feature film.”

His concept involves the princess’s origins, her expectations and her access to “the full range of human emotions”.

To realize his vision, Takahata says, “I needed to take the extremely individualistic brushwork and key designs of Osamu Tanabe and Kazuo Oga, two brilliantly talented artists, and have them permeate(擴散）throughout the film. The two of them drew many pictures, but they weren’t nearly enough. The most challenging part was to have all the other animation staff copy their styles in a free and easy way.”

The Tale of Princess Kaguya has been released, and people are saying that the two founders, now in their seventies, have directed their final films. But is it as clear-cut as that? When I ask Takahata about a scene of escape and urgency with a particularly distinctive (獨特的) visual style, he says he had intended to use “this type of rough-drawn, forceful animation, in a project before this film.

“That project hasn’t been realized yet, but if it comes to pass, this style is essential.”

A hint, perhaps, there's still more to come.

1.Which of the following choices has got the right match?

①Hayao Miyazaki

a. one of the founders of Studio Ghibli

② Isao Takahata

b. fictional character

③ Kazuo Oga

c. famous artist

④ Princess Kaguya

d. animation staff member of The Tale of Princess Kaguya

A.① d B. ② a C.③ b D.④ c

2.Why is it challenging to adapt the original story to a feature film according to the passage?

A. Because people are in the dark about the feelings of Princess Kaguya.

B. Because the story itself offers a combination of wonder, humour and sorrow.

C. Because the story is too old to appeal to the audience nowadays.

D. Because every Japanese has been familiar with the story ever since childhood

3.From the Takahata version of The Tale of Princess Kaguya, we can expect the following except ________.

A. more details about the Princess’s origins and expectations

B. a forceful animation type featuring fine images and gentle brushwork

C. the distinctive brushwork and key designs from two gifted artists

D. a hand-drawn visual effect that brings out a unique sense of beauty

B

IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world’s most successful businessmen. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. He used it to start up a business—IKEA. IKEA's name comes from Kamprad's initials (I.K.) and the place where he grew up ('E' and 'A').

IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order book in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprad’s home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line．Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became a pure furniture company in 1951.

In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales boosted. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having meanings of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion．

Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the world’s richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing.

1.The author states in Paragraph 4 that flat packaging___________.

A. needs large space to store furniture

B. is a business concept inspired by Kamprad

C. helps reduce transportation costs

D. makes the company self-sufficient

2.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Ingvar Kamprad established IKEA and succeeded.

B. IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer.

C. The advantages of IKEA’s furniture.

D. Ingvar Kamprad was a natural businessman.

3.What can you learn about IKEA form the passage?

A. The starter kept IKEA a company operated by a few people

B. The furniture was made by manufacturers in Kamprad’s home

C. The starter made a big fortune when he was a child

D. The goods sold in IKEA are limited and not welcomed

4.The passage is written mainly in terms of ___________.

A. examples that illustrate a problem

D

Whenever you buy something, it is possible that someone has already worn, eaten, or tested

it to make sure it is safe and do what is supposed to do. But what if you wanted a special suit to keep a shark from hurting you? Who wants to test a product like it?

"I do! " says Jeremiah Sullwan, a scientist in California "You have to believe in what you sell, right?"

Sullivan. owns SharkArmor Tech, a company that makes a $ 49400 sharksuit that even a great white shark can’ t bite through. Before Sullivan could sell his sharksuits, he needed to make sure his design would work. Sullivan put on the sharksuit and jumped into a shark feeding ground. "I need to know exactly what a human body could expect to go through," he says. Sharks moved all around him and then attacked his arm. Sullivan felt the bite but no teeth. He was uncomfortable at times, but not painful. The suit works! "

"I’ve now been bitten thousands of times but. never badly," says Sullivan, who now works with shows like Wild Kingdom, and programs for the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week.

So,are you all set to buy a sharksuit? Before you do, you should know that the suit weighs 20 pounds and makes swimming almost impossible--not so practical for a day on the beach. And in fact, Sullivan wants only professionals, such as filmmakers, scientists and drivers, to have sharksuits. Why? Because even if someone is wearing a sharksuit, they could get seriously hurt if they treat diving with a 4,OOO-pound shark as a game.

During sharksuit testing, sharks have thrown Sullivan to a bottom o/ reefs(礁) and tried to take him off into the deepest part of the ocean. "However," Sullivan says," you don't need to be afraid of sharks. It’s actually pretty hard to get a shark to bite you, "

1.The first paragraph is written to .

A. start a discussion

B. introduce the topic of the text

2.Why did Sullivan get close to sharks?

A. To see if his sharksuit works.

B. To study what sharks feed on.

C. To catch a special kind of white shark.

D. To learn how to swim with sharks safely,

3.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Most people won't wear the sharksuit to the beach

B. People like to go to the beach with the sharksuit.

C. The sharksuit makes a perfect day on the beach

D. The sharksuit can’t be worn for a whole day.

If you are trying to achieve big goals in your life and work, the chances are that, from time to time, you hit rock bottom. Nothing works, nothing goes right, and nothing succeeds. At times like these, you may feel like throwing in the towel. But before you do, read the following story. It might just change your mind.

One day, a small business owner decided he'd had enough. Enough of the endless work, enough of the lack of response, enough of the disturbing loneliness.

He went into the woods to have one last talk to the wise man. "Mr. wise man," he said. "Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't give up?"

The answer took him by surprise. "Look around you," the wise man said. "Do you see the fern f蕨類植物）and the bamboo?"

“Yes:' the man replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo, I took very good care of them. I gave them both equal amounts of food and water. I gave them sunlight in spring and protected them from the storms in autumn. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not give up on the bamboo. In the, second year, the fern grew even better than before but nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not give up on the bamboo. In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But l would not give up. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. Still would not give up."

Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout(芽)came out from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small. But day by day the sprout grew. Within six months, the sprout had risen to a height of 100 feet. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive." "Did you know, young man, that all this time you have been struggling, you have been growing? Grow the roots that you need to produce your fruit."

"Don't compare yourself to others. All things have different purposes, and different journeys. The bamboo has a different purpose from the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come. You will rise high."

The small business owner left the forest. And never went back.

If nothing seems like it is happening in your life, despite all the work you're putting in, remember that you're probably growing roots not fruit. Stick with it. One day not far from now, there'll be a great harvest.

1.The underlined phrase "throwing in the towel" in Paragraph l probably means .

A. crying out B. showing off

C. giving up D. running away

2.After the wise man planted the fern and the bamboo,

A. he cared for the fern only

B. they didn't receive any care from him

C. he gave up the bamboo in the fifth year

D. the bamboo seed never stopped growing

3.From the passage we can conclude that the small business owner will

A. not turn to the wise man for help again

B. not give up in face of difficulties

C. give up his business later

D. grow some bamboo later

4.Which of the following best describes the story in the passage?

A. Never give up hope.

B. Practice makes perfect.

C. Time and tide wait for nobody.

D. One should try and achieve bigger goals in life.
