In November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called monkey. Most of them were hearing this story for the first time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children. The monkey king or Sun Wukong is a main character in the traditional Chinese     13     Journey to the West.

The monkey king is not just any normal monkey, in fact, he sometimes does not even look like a monkey. This is because he can make 72     14     to his shape and size, turning himself into different animals and objects. But unless he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a man. To fight bad people, the monkey king uses the magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so     15     that he can keep it in his ear. At other times. He is able to make it big and long.

The monkey king has excited the children of China for many years. And as soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago. Western children became interested in reading this story because the clever monkey king keeps     16     (fight) to help the weak and never gives up.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. I have a habit of taking a nap (小睡) after lunch. Without a nap at noon, I will feel uncomfortable the whole afternoon. A nap after lunch can make me feel fresh and comfortable. Then I can work better in the afternoon.

At noon – about six to eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. So it is best for you to take a nap after lunch for about an hour.

In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day, especially in hot weather, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. In fact, naps are good for everyone in any weather. A daily nap gives one a more relaxing body and mind in the early afternoon, and is good for health. In many countries where naps are traditional, people are seldom ill such as heart diseases.

Many working people have no time to take naps though doctors may advise taking naps in the early afternoon. Here are a fewtipsabout your nap:

Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy later. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you don’t have enough time, try a short nap after lunch — half an hour of nap can also be helpful.

What can we do whenever Earth faces a disaster? Is the only solution running away from the planet in spaceships? The latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wondering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious（有雄心的）idea.
The film is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. We're taking the Earth with us to run away.
What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films? It's probably the special cultural background. For thousands of years, “homeland” has rooted in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old saying is luoyeguigen. It means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. There are also many ancient poems about homeland. “The season called the White Dew begins tonight / Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright” (露从今夜白，月是故多明). These all show that Chinese people have the tight bond（情感纽带） with their homeland.
What is Chinese sci-fi? Guo Fan, the film’s director said: “Chinese sci-fi is a way to express our cultural and the spiritual core (精神内核). Otherwise, we’re just imitating（模仿）others and telling the same American stories.” And the film was released on February 5, 2019, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. It seems the best time to tell this Chinese sci-fi story. Anyway, to us Chinese, Earth goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.
38. Why do people consider the film so ambitious?

A．Humans work together to build a giant engine system.

B．Humans are trying to take the Earth to run away together

C．The film story is written by the famous writer Liu Cixin

D．People have managed to run away from Earth in spaceships
