From an innocent children’s cartoon character to a top cultural icon, Peppa Pig, a British preschool animated TV series, has undergone an amazing journey in adapting to Chinese culture and China’s market. 2015 In June, the Peppa Pig TV series was introduced to the Chinese market by Entertainment One and first aired on the CCTV Children’s Channel. Shortly after its publication, Peppa Pig attracted billions of views on social media platforms like iQiyi, Youku and Tudou. 2016 The Peppa Pig TV series was broadcast on the CCTV Children’s Channel for a second round.

China has entered the cinematic(电影制作的) space race. Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster science fiction film, is on track to be one of the highest grossing (票房收入) films in China’s history. The film has brought in more than 2bn yuan (£232m) in the six days since its release on February 5. So far, it is the highest-grossing film released over the holiday season, a peak time for the Chinese box office（票房收入）. Wandering Earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin, the author of the Three-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a Hugo award. “Wandering Earth fills the gap in Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China’s science fiction movies have officially set sail,” one fan of the film wrote on the review site Douban. The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi — a genre(类型；体裁) that has long been led by Hollywood. Several other Chinese-made sci-fi films are due to debut (首映) this year, including Shanghai Fortress, about an alien invasion, and Pathfinder, which follows a spaceship that has crashed on a deserted planet. Frant Gwo, the director of Wandering Earth, said, “2019 could be remembered as year zero of Chinese science-fiction blockbusters. It is not just about one successful movie but about multiple films.” Critics of the film have pointed out the plot holes（剧情漏洞） and cloying of sentimentality（刻意煽情） — something Wandering Earth shares with its Hollywood peers. In response to plot criticisms about the necessity of ejecting (喷射) Earth from the solar system, Liu said: “Of course we don’t need to escape soon. That’s why it’s a movie instead of a real-life crisis.” 1.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word? A.非常成功的事物 B.非常成功的人 C.外星人 D.英雄人物 2.What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Paragraph 4? A.Doubtful. B.Negative. C.Positive D.Uncaring. 3.Which of the following does not belong to Chinese-made sci-fi film? A.Shanghai Fortress B.Wandering Earth C.Pathfinder D.Avatar 4.Which aspect do the critics think is a shortcoming of the film? A.The theory. B.The ending. C.The special effects. D.The plot holes.

Princess quiz time! How did Snow White survive? How did Cinderella (《灰姑娘》) leave her evil stepmother? How did Sleeping Beauty finally wake up? A kind-hearted person always comes to save the princess, like a prince or a godmother. Princesses cannot protect themselves, though they are very pretty and nice. They always need the help of others. However, in fact, women can’t put their life in the hands of a prince-like man. They need to work and even fight for their own happiness. The traditional image of a princess is getting out of date. Recently, Disney, a company famous for its princess movies, posted the “top 10 rules for being a modern princess”. You will not find any rules related to beauty or looks. The rules focus on loyalty, honesty and other moral values. The rules say princesses need to believe in themselves and try their best to get out of trouble, instead of waiting for a prince’s help. It’s not the first time Disney princesses have caught up with society’s development. In 1950, when people’s hearts were broken by World War II, Disney created Cinderella. In 1990, Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast (《美女与野兽》) loved reading when education was a man’s special right in the past. Belle showed the improvement of women’s position in society. Now is Elsa from the film Frozen (《冰雪奇缘》), a symbol of modern princess. “This is brilliant – ‘The top 10 rules of being a modern princess’ – (it’s) about time,” a group named Confidently Mom said on social media website Twitter. Princesses are still very beautiful, but inner character is the key to being a princess. 1.What does the story think modern women should be like? A.They should turn to others for help. B.They should depend on themselves for their own happiness. C.They don’t need to care about their appearances. D.They should depend on men to do most things. 2.Disney’s rules for being a modern princess focus on a girl’s _____. A.looks B.education C.position in society D.thought 3.The images were created to catch up with the society’s development except _____. A.Belle B.Cinderella C.Godmother D.Elsa 4.What does the group Confidently Mom think of the rules? A.Fantastic B.Meaningless C.Doubtful D.Social
