He is both a great director and a great animator (卡通片制作者). He is Japan’s Walt Disney.
Hayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻动画), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced his retirement on September 6. Here are some key words about his films.
Good and evil (邪恶)
Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he creates tend to be complex (复杂的) and unclear. The bad figures often don’t seem so bad once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good and evil is because he sees the 21st century as a complex time, in which old ideas need to be re-examined, even in children’s films.
Children
The heroes in Miyazaki’s films are usually children or teens, more often young girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.
Sky and water
Two of Miyazaki’s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related ways. Flight is a forever theme — Miyazaki has never done a film without flying of some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束缚) from setting him free.
Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes the unexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.
Peace
Miyazaki’s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki’s heroes are often peacemakers.

A few months after we moved to a small city in France, I wanted to meet my husband for lunch at the university where he worked. I got lost. I had to call him for help. One of his friends said to him later, “How could she get lost? She just needed to go straight.”
Well, no. That’s the problem. You never “just go straight”, because France is the land of roundabouts (弯道). Highways, major streets, little village lanes – if you go straight long enough, you’ll end up going in circles.
Even after a year here, I’d still get lost going to the grocery store, or just about anywhere that wasn’t within a hundred yards of my house.
I admit I have a horrible sense of direction, can’t read a map, and am not such a good driver. Plus, I’ve been spoiled (宠坏) by living in American cities, where you just indeed need to “go straight”. But in France, driving became my nightmare — the roads are roundabouts within roundabouts.
Finally I found a solution: a GPS program on my smart phone. I rely on it to get anywhere, even places I’ve been.
But it does leave me feeling very bad and helpless when, often, the program doesn’t work, can’t find a GPS signal, or gives wrong information. I’d have to wait until my GPS gets recovered, or else I use my old solution: I call my husband. Is the GPS making us more stupid, or helping us going around more? In my case, it’s probably both.
5. The friend of the writer’s husband’s thought ________.A.the roundabouts were confusing | B.the way to the university was simple |
C.she didn’t lose her way | D.she was a foolish woman |
A.arrive at his destination at last | B.come back to where he starts |
C.find his way out of the city | D.end up in a grocery store |
A.She lacks the sense of direction. |
B.She once lived in a different country. |
C.She has stayed in France for more than a year. |
D.She has already got used to the French way of life. |
A.It’s a satisfactory solution to her problem. |
B.It improves her sense of direction. |
C.It doesn’t always work very well. |
D.It is a useless device for her. |
I have never forgotten the firm belief I had in the arrival through the chimney (烟囱) of the little Santa Claus (圣诞老人), the kind, white-bearded old man who at midnight left in my tiny shoe a present I found the next morning.
Midnight! It’s the perfect hour children don’t know. What great efforts I made not to go to sleep before the little old man appeared!
I had both a great desire and great fear of seeing him, but could never stay awake until then, and the next day my first look was for my shoe. He never failed to carefully wrap (包装) every present for me. I would run barefoot to get my treasure. It never was a very expensive present, for we were not rich. It was a cookie, an orange, or very simply a fine red apple. But it felt so precious that I barely dared to eat it. What a great role imagination plays in a child’s life!
I do not at all agree with the idea that the lies about Santa Claus should be stopped. Doubts and truth come all too soon on their own. I very well remember the first year, when I was five or six, I doubted that it was not Santa Claus who put the cookie in my shoe. Since then, it has never tasted as good as the first few years of my life.
I noted that my son believed in him longer; boys are more naïve (天真的) than little girls. Like me, he made great efforts to stay awake until midnight. Like me, he loved the cookie baked in Heaven’s kitchens. And like me, the first year of his doubts was the last year of the visit of the good old man.
9. As a little girl, the author loved the gifts on Christmas Day because ________.A.they usually cost a lot of money |
B.she always got the very gifts she asked for |
C.they were beautifully wrapped |
D.she believed they were from Santa Claus |
A.It adds value to the common Christmas gifts. |
B.It makes a child curious about everything. |
C.It encourages him to climb the chimney. |
D.It makes him doubt whether Santa Claus really exists. |
A.unsatisfied with being cheated |
B.sorry for realizing that Santa Claus doesn’t exist |
C.happy at finding out the facts of Santa Claus |
D.angry about parents’ lying to children about Santa Claus |

For more and more young Chinese professionals, the first day back at work after the Lunar New Year holiday is the day they quit.
The period after the Lunar New Year holiday, also known as Spring Festival, often sees Chinese workers on the move. This year, the number looking for new opportunities is supposed to be especially high.
Mr. Zhu, a 27-year-old Beijing native, is one of the young workers looking for a better deal. “Salary is a big concern for me and I need a job that pays more, and my department can’t provide good career development for me,” he said.
An online survey by Zhaopin.com, a leading job-hunting website, provides further details on why China’s young white-collar workers are so keen to move on.
Low salaries are the biggest concern for 62% of the job-hunters, and overtime and a wide mismatch between low salaries and high housing costs are also the complaints. Two-thirds of them said they had to work at home after office hours, and a full 95% said they felt they were under heavy pressure because of the housing payment or rent.
The survey also found that what was seen as a “good job” has changed. For the generation born in the 1970s, high salary and status is the key. For the generation born after 1980, work-life balance and respect in the office are also important.
Zhao Bin, a 28-year-old woman who earns over 7,000 yuan a month working at a public relations company in Shanghai, said she would wait until the Lunar New Year to change her job. “My salary is OK for me, but I am working like crazy. So I want to find something comfortable, like being an English teacher in training schools.”
12. Mr. Zhu is looking for a new job because ________.A.he was fired before the Lunar New Year holiday |
B.he was promised a better job |
C.he wants a job better in salary and in development |
D.he was advised to do so |
A.a big gap | B.a lost game |
C.a hot debate | D.a failed marriage |
A.salary is the first concern for people who change jobs |
B.young people are under pressure of high housing prices |
C.young people tend to value work-life balance |
D.teacher has become a good job for Chinese youth |
A.encourage Chinese white-collar workers to change jobs |
B.present a social phenomenon and explain its causes |
C.carry out an online survey to readers |
D.compare different reasons why people quit jobs |
“When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, so when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws.
There are obvious ways of greeting people in French. When you meet someone new, it’s usual to shake his hand firmly and always look at the person in the eye.
Dress well.
The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours.
Do not begin eating until the host says, “Bon appetite”. Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate.
A.The French draw information about people based on their appearance. |
B.This is a time for relationship building. |
C.Maybe you have heard the expression. |
D.Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France. |

With the development of the Internet, more and more children are addicted to play online games day and night. It does harm not only to their health, especial their eyes, but also to their studies. Comparing with online games, many traditional games benefits kids mentally and physically. They were very popular to several generations, for they learned something valuable and had a fun playing the games. Therefore, the games are losing our appeal now, and so me children even haven’t heard of them. Personally, I think teachers and parents should take measure to limit their children’s Internet time. Let children know harm of online games and the benefits of traditional games. What’s more, we should often organize some traditional activity for children.
