If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer in 1942. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 500 million copies in about 250 languages. Now, many years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画电影).
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly, the Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions — in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.
A famous Chinese actor Huang Lei says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressful society. "The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it’s a pity that this good characteristic goes away as time flies," he says.

3. Which is probably the actor Mr Huang's opinion

D. He thinks all of us should keep our good nature and never let it disappear.
B

Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, "sorry, I am a stranger here."
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him.

"The house seems very empty now." said Meg.
"Our moto(座右铭, 格言) is 'Hope and keep busy'," said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. "So I'm going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg "
"Tm going to teach the King children." replied Meg.
"And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework," said Beth.

At present only a few students do some reading after class. Here are several reasons.
First of all, quite a lot of students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven’t formed a habit of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on TV or on the Internet.
However, reading has many benefits. Through reading we can learn more about the world. Besides, it can help us think better and make our life more colorful.
Here are my suggestions. For one thing, teachers are supposed to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read. For another, it’s a good idea to form reading clubs and learn from each other.

The next day was also cold and grey. Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale and tired. The girls tried to hide their tears.
Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage(马车) and it was time for Mrs March to leave. She kissed her daughter one by one and said. "Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!"
"Yes, Mother."
"Meg, look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Hannah or Mr Laurence. Jo, be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy help with the housework and be obedient(顺从的)."
"Yes. Mother! Don't worry!"
She got into the carriage and opened the window.
"Goodbye, my dears!" she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then, with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside.
"The house seems very empty now." said Meg.
"Our moto(座右铭, 格言) is 'Hope and keep busy'," said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. "So I'm going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg "
"Tm going to teach the King children." replied Meg.
"And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework," said Beth.
"I think anxiety is very interesting." Amy said seriously. Her remark made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better.
For a week the girls kept to their motto and worked hard. Then Jo got a bad cold and had to stay at home. She didn't mind this at all because she didn't like going to Aunt March's. She was happy to lie on the sofa all day with her books and medicine. Amy got bored with doing housework so she took out her pencils and drawing book again. Meg went to teach the King children every day, and sewed(缝补). She spent the rest of her time writing long letters to her mother and reading the letters from Mr Brooke. Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sisters' jobs, too. She never complained. And every day she took some food to the Hummel family.

八、作文。（10分）
At present only a few students do some reading after class. Here are several reasons.
First of all, quite a lot of students are burdened with too much homework. Still others haven’t formed a habit of reading. They would rather spend their spare time on TV or on the Internet.
However, reading has many benefits. Through reading we can learn more about the world. Besides, it can help us think better and make our life more colorful.
Here are my suggestions. For one thing, teachers are supposed to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read. For another, it’s a good idea to form reading clubs and learn from each other.
