①We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films Much like colors, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes.
②Circles represent (代表) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces. . . All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness.
③Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy.
④The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don’t they That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles (稳固的), like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable (稳固的) and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with.
⑤Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like.

The lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, so the date of Lunar New Year is different each year. 31 As well as being celebrated in China, Lunar New Year is also an important festival in many other places, including Vietnam, Singapore and South Korea.
Different places celebrate in slightly different ways, but Lunar New Year is a family celebration wherever it takes place. The young greet their parents and grandparents with good wishes for the year ahead and show their respect for the old. 32 Old members of the family give the young money as presents, traditionally in small packets. Red packets are used in China, South Korea and Vietnam, as red is a lucky color.
Traditional foods which are eaten at Lunar New Year often have another meaning. 33 It’s because the Chinese word for “fish” sounds similar to “surplus”, meaning you will have plenty of what you need.
34 For example, in Vietnam, people believe that the first person to enter their home in the New Year will decide their luck for the year ahead. They are careful to invite someone who is kind, well behaved and successful. In South Korea, families often play traditional board games together. 35 They watch street performances, in which dancers dress up as a lion or a dragon. All the celebrations are about wishing everyone the very best for the year ahead.
A.In China, many people set off firecrackers (鞭炮).
B.They kneel on the ground and bow deeply.
C.In another way it is bad luck to say new year wishes to everybody.
