But have you ever thought that each movie offers great life lessons about things like patience, willpower, kindness and tolerance?‎ To prove it , we have listed great quotes(引语) for kids from famous Disney characters: ‎ It’s good to laugh at yourself when you make a mistake, which can help you feel more relieved. Next time you make a mistake, don’t worry, just do what Mickey Mouse does: “To laugh at yourself is to love yourself”.‎ ‎---Mickey Mouse Everyone experiences adversity, the trouble you might face in your life. Never allow yourself to become upset by adversity. It is a time for growth, and shaping who you are. “The flower blooming in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.”‎ ‎---The Emperor, Mulan The phrase, “Walk in someone else’s shoes,” ---Pocahontas, means trying to see things from someone else’s point of view, feeling how they feel, and understanding the struggles they face. This is what is known as empathy(同情)and having more of it would reduce things like bullying(欺凌), war and prejudice. Then the world would be a better place.‎ Have you noticed people put value on things because of their look? Sometimes, ‎ we might ignore a book because we dislike the cover, or not buy a toy because we don’t like the box it comes in. though the inside might be something amazing, we pass it by because the outside wasn’t what we were looking for. Often we judge people this way too. This is unfortunate because we could be missing out on a great friendship. Here’s what the movie Aladdin says about this: “Do not be fooled by its common appearance. Actually, it is the inside that counts.”‎ ‎21. Why is it good to laugh at yourself when making mistakes?‎ A. Because it can cover your anxiety.‎ B. Because it is beneficial to your health.‎ C. Because it can help correct your mistake.‎ D. Because it can help others better understand you.‎ ‎22. Whose quote means great social benefit?‎ A. Mulan’s.‎ B. Aladdin’s.‎ C. Pocahontas’s.‎ D. Mickey Mouse’s.‎ ‎23. Who is the passage intended to be written for?‎ A. Children. ‎ B. Parents.‎ C.

Life lessons and quotes from Disney characters.‎ B According to French philosopher(哲学家) Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), friendships are essential to humans. He believed that they spread warmth to everyone. ‎ This is certainly true of the lifelong friendship between the two women ‎ featured(作为主角) in a four-novel series by Italian writer Elena Ferrante.‎ The third book of the series, Those Who Leave And Those Who Stay (2014), has been translated into Chinese and was published last month.‎ The series is set in the Italian city of Naples after World War Ⅱ. The story of Lila and Elena begins with a flashback (倒叙) to the early 1950s. when the pair meet at 8 years old, they immediately strike up a strong friendship.‎ But “friendship” may not be a good enough word to describe the bond that links Lila and Elena. They are like the same person split(分开) in two.‎ But the fact that they’re close doesn’t mean that they’re not different.‎ Lila is brilliant from the start. As the four books follow her life from childhood into adolescence, and eventually into middle age, readers see her grow into a beautiful woman who no matter how hard she tries, she will never be as good as her brilliant friend Lila.‎ It’s this mixture of fear, love,and, above all, envy—that sums up their friendship.‎ Indeed, for Rachel Donadio of The New York Times, the series is a brillant study into the emotion of envy. The novels are filled with envy, but envy,when understood properly, can show us what we really want.‎ ‎“It is this swing between lightness and darkness that gives their friendship a depth too clear to seem imagined,” commented The Atlantic.‎ ‎25.

How shy people can achieve great things through hard work.‎ D. A combination of many emotions makes a friendship stronger. ‎ C When Carly Williams was reporting on a farm in North Carolina, US, she laughed when a zebra(斑马)pushed its nose into her car.‎ Carly, 15, is a student at Nation Ford High, South Carolina and hopes to become a television anchor(主播). She is quickly making herself noticed.‎ Not long ago, she got a call from Teen Kids News, which is a weekly show that airs across the US. Carly had sent a few broadcasts she had done for her school news program to the show’s makes in New York. A producer contacted Carly and asked if she would like to work for the company.‎ ‎“All I could say was, yes, yes, yes,”Carly said. “I didn’t even hesitate(犹豫).”‎ Carly said she became interested in broadcast journalism when she was in the sixth grade. One day, she heard that forest fires were burning nearby. After sports class, she went out into the forest and reported on the fires. She fell in love with broadasting, and from then on, she tried to do it as much as she could.‎ But despite doing what she loves, Carly has to face both good and bad comments from audience(听众)memebers.‎ ‎“Everyone has a different opinion and I’ve always tried to tell Carly that you can’t listen to it,” said Lori Williams, a former CNN producer. “If it’s what you love to do, it will outshine everything else.”‎ Carly’s advice to other young broadcasters is to look for support from friends and family. “With every negative comment, there are five positive comments, and that’s how I think aobut it.” She said.‎ The first program Carly anchored was about an artist’s pumpkin patch. In the ‎ program, she asked teenagers what they thought of the artist’s work.‎ ‎“I was a little nervous. I’m going through my lines thinking, ‘No pressure’,” Carly said.‎ She has also reported at a Coldplay concert and met Kathie Lee Gifford, an American TV host. Gifford told Carly to continue doing what she loves because “it will lead to big things”.‎ ‎“Getting advice from her, especially, was absolutely awesome(棒极了),” Carly said.‎ ‎28.
