In my kitchen the next day we thought and thought.
“How can we win him over when he thinks that we threw those eggs ” Stewart asked.
“He doesn’t even like us,” Winston shouted.
“Eggs,” I said quietly.
“Eggs Stewart asked.
“Eggs!” I called out.
I went to the kitchen and took out something useful. Mom helped me show the boys how to decorate(点缀) eggs the way my grandma taught us. The way they do it in the old country. We made designs on the eggshells with hot wax, then dyed(染色) them and finally melted(融化) the wax off.
We put the eggs in a basket. Even though we were afraid, we walked into Mr. Kodinski’s shop and put them on the table.
He raised his eyebrows and looked angrily at us. Then he noticed the basket. “Spaseeba,” he said softly. That means “thank you” in Russian. “Pysanky eggs!” He said as he looked closely. “I haven’t seen these since I left my homeland.”
“We didn’t throw those eggs at your door, Mr. Kodinski,” we told him.
He looked at us for a minute. “Well, then, you have great courage to be here. Chutzpah, you have chutzpah!” Then his eyes shone and he slowly started to smile. “Come, have some tea with me.”
34. Why were the children afraid to walk into Mr. Kodinski’s shop
A. Because they used up all the wax.
B. Because they didn’t have money to buy anything.
C. Because they felt their eggs were not pretty enough.
D. Because Mr. Kodinski thought they threw eggs at his shop.
35. The underlined sentence “Chutzpah, you have chutzpah” means ________.
A. beautiful B. excited C. brave D. afraid
36. What can we learn from the passage
A. Everyone likes the old way of decorating eggs.
B. Stewart is the cleverest boy in the whole family.
C. The writer seems to know Mr. Kodinski well.
D. The children often have tea with Mr. Kodinski.
C
Cartoons play an important role in childhood. They are, certainly, the most popular fun activities for children, but also much more than that. With the help of cartoons, kids can learn about the world around us, about new feelings, life and other important things.
As a little girl, I enjoyed watching Disney movies based on fairy tales. My favourite fairy tale was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I will never forget how excited I was while my brother and I prepared to go to the cinema with our parents to watch this cartoon movie for the very first time. Snow White helped me in many ways. One of them was the fact that I started learning and practicing my English, and I finally went to the college for Foreign Languages.
Today, having children of my own, I always find time to sit with them and watch their favourite cartoons. From Baby TV channel for the short ones, to the 2-hour long ones, everything has its meaning, and at the same time, it helps me remember all these wonderful things that we learn from cartoons. One can never be too old to watch them.
________ Younger children learn new sounds, shapes and colours with the help of cartoons. Watching cartoons inspires(激励) kids to dance and move around. Parents must be truly excited to see them so happy and joyful. At an early age, children usually don’t have patience(耐心) to listen to long bed time stories and stories we read to them. Instead, they like watching short cartoons more. In that way, kids get better at speaking not only in their mother tongue, but in a foreign language as well. Cartoon TV and Dexter Laboratory, for example, helped my younger brother start speaking English when he was only 6!
As children grow up, we talk about the feelings and relationships. Cartoons show these to the children in a way they can understand. We also show them how to work with people and things in life. So, children can learn some meaning life lessons in cartoons. Cartoon movies about fairy tales produced by Disney, Pixar or DreamWorks, teach us lying is wrong and that we should always listen to our heart and do things in the right way---a message from Pinocchio. With Dumbo and The Ugly Duckling, we learn that it’s okay to be different and love ourselves. Children, especially boys, are so in love with Pixar cartoon Cars. It is much more than a car race. It shows that it is not all about winning the race. Some other things are more important, such as the race itself, getting to know the roads and the friends we make along the way. Kung Fu Panda helps children find there is no such thing that can make sure you can be successful. In fact, it is our inner power that do what our heart want in order to be what they truly are.
Cartoons are full of positive(积极的) life messages. We, as parents, have to see through the stories, and to show our children how to understand them, especially when the kids are still too young to understand their meaning. Also, it is a good idea to watch cartoons together. This will make the whole family become closer than before. Last, talking about cartoons with your children is one of the best way to connect with your children and it is exactly what Peter Pan tells us.
37. What can we learn from the passage
A. Watching cartoons is one of the most popular ways to have fun.
B. The Ugly Duckling tells us that our heart decides what we are.
C. I will never forget the fun time I had when watching cartoons.
D. Parents should help their children to understand the messages of cartoons.
38. What do you know about the writer according to the passage
A. She is a cartoon lover and her family learn a lot from cartoons.
B. She is a caring mother and always talks about cartoons with her children.
C. She is a famous children’s writer and created many cartoon stories.
D. She is an English learner and learns English with her parents from cartoons.

A. What cartoons have ever touched younger children
B. What changes do cartoons bring to younger children
C. What should parents do to teach their children a lesson
D. What can younger children learn by watching cartoons
