The story of Hua Mulan is well-known in China. Mulan, a brave young girl, takes her father’s place in the army and fights for her country. Disney turned this story into a cartoon in 1998. And now, they are planning to make it a real action movie.

A user named Krystal Lin said that the story of Mulan wasn’t a love story about a girl who needed to be saved, but a story about her saving her father, about family and honor (荣誉).

Unlike traditional Ne Zha stories, the new film is modern and humorous. In the new film, Ne Zha is not a traditional hero. Instead, he is a very naughty(淘气的)kid. The film contains a lot of funny dialogue between Ne Zha and the other cute characters.
The film is full of beautiful scenes, such as the one set in the Dragon King’s Palace, the farewell(道别)between Ne Zha and his parents and the fight between fire and water.

The new live action version of the Disney movie Dumbo (2019) expands (扩展) on the early movie (1941) with some new ideas.
Dumbo creates parallels (相似之处) between the baby elephant, whose flying skills bring a circus (马戏团) back to life, and his human friends: Milly, Joe and their father.
Challenges come when businessman V. A．Vandevere makes Dumbo the star of an amusement park. He treats Dumbo badly and even hits him. But Dumbo’s friends and circus family come to save him. They manage to help Dumbo get out of the park.
Director Tim Burton took great care in choosing the film’s actors, even down to the tiny role of a snake charmer (驯蛇人). Burton clearly had fun recreating the Manhattan of a century ago. The warm browns and reds recall images that were popular then.
Details (细节) like these help us remember that Dumbo is supposed to take place during the Woodrow Wilson administration (1913 to 1921). But some elements (元素) don’t fit, for example, much of the language belongs to the texting generation (一代)—that is, the generation that grows up with messaging, texting, and emailing. Elements like these place Dumbo in a time period that could be today or 100 years ago or never at all.
Dumbo is a movie worth watching. It is aimed at children. With the treatment of circus animals coming up in the news lately, the film’s creators were wise not to ignore (忽视) the elephant in the room.

D．makes people think of a century ago
40．What do we know from the passage

C．The movie’s language isn’t easy to understand.

When Wang Haiyan was young, her favorite toys weren’t Barbie dolls. Instead, she started learning to make shadow puppets (皮影) from her father at 13. Now 43, Wang has spent 30 years practicing and spreading the art.
Shadow puppetry is a form of theater that uses puppets made from leather (皮) or paper, with music and singing. Invented during the Western Han Dynasty, it tells us about folk and historical stories, passing down culture and customs over thousands of years.
Shadow puppetry is all about creating the puppets and performing with them. Wang’s hometown of Hua county, Shaanxi, is known as the birthplace of the folk art.
Puppet-makers must follow 24 steps to make the puppets, including washing the leather, carving (雕刻), and painting. Carving is the most difficult part.
“We have a special carving technique (技巧) — moving the leather under the knife,” Wang said. “You have to hold the knife still in your right hand and only move the leather in your left hand.”
It took Wang three years to master this skill. She used a brick (砖块) to strengthen her left hand while practicing. It takes about 3,000 carves to make a shadow puppet. “The complicated (复杂的) steps make it hard to spread the folk art,” she said.
But Wang has found a way to do so. In 2016, she made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series Huyao Xiaohongniang (《狐妖小红娘》) and gave a live performance. She used colors like blue and purple that are rarely seen in shadow puppetry and added more sticks to the puppets to make the performance more lively.
47．What does Paragraph 2 explain
A．Why Wang is interested in shadow puppetry. B．When shadow puppetry became popular.
C．How shadow puppetry is performed. D．What shadow puppetry is.
48．According to Wang, why is it difficult to spread shadow puppetry
A．It’s difficult to learn to make puppets.
B．This art is only known in a small county.
C．It requires people of great strength to perform the art.
D．The stories it tells are too old-fashioned for modern audiences.
49．What is the last paragraph about
A．Wang’s favorite shadow puppets. B．Improvements in making puppets.
C．The efforts Wang made to spread this art. D．The difficulties in performing this art online.
50．What do we know from the story
A．Wang spent 13 years learning to carve puppets.
B．Wang enjoys getting young people interested in this art.
C．Wang has set up a company to make and sell shadow puppets.
D．Wang is working on a cartoon series about making shadow puppets.
Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem trilogy has been popular as a modern science fiction classic since it won the Hugo Award in 2015. Many of the series’ fans have wondered when there would be a film or television adaptation of the series.
Interestingly enough, it turns out that there already is one: a cartoon series called My Three Body. It has been running on Bilibili for the last couple of years. The series uses the computer game, the Minecraft, to bring its story to life.
My Three Body is directed by Li Zhenyi, who first discovered Liu’s work in 2006. As a fan of cartoon and the sci-fi novels, he began adapting his beloved series on his own in 2014.

So I wanted to make a video to help everyone understand the story better since it’s easier to watch a video than to read a book.”
Bilibili recently released the third season of Li’s cartoon series named My Three Body, Legend of Zhang Beihai. People who have watched it speak highly of its story, pictures and music. The series has even scored 9.7 out of 10 on review platform Douban.
Li said he and his team had never expected it to be such a huge success. Meanwhile, he was glad to see that he has got his final goal: to help The Three-Body Problem series reach more people through his work.
