The Sign, this 28-minute instalment (集) of the kids TV show, has been hotly anticipated—and its story is a deep reflection on change that proves, once more, it’s truly remarkable viewing.
The much-loved Australian cartoon about Bluey, a seven-year-old blue heeler dog (牧羊犬), has been a worldwide phenomenon since it launched back in 2018.
Alongside more genuinely laugh-out-loud moments than in most primetime comedies, it contains more serious elements too—snapshots of parenting situations, as well as inferences to momentous life events like death and marriage. It’s navigating an adult world with the joyous, surreal (超现实的) excitement of childhood.
What viewers won’t have predicted will be how much this episode draws from Taoist philosophy, an ancient Chinese belief system based on trying to exist in harmony with the universe. When Bluey sadly tells her classmates she’s moving away, her teacher Calypso reads a story called The Farmer. The story follows a series of events happening, and each time, the neighbours tell the farmer that it’s “good luck” or “bad luck”. Every time, the farmer simply replies to each situation: “We’ll see”, and the story then ends seemingly abruptly.
The story is actually an old tale that originated in the Huainanzi, an ancient Chinese text dating back to 139 BC, and it reminds people that we have no real way of knowing whether events that happen to us are “good” or “bad”, in the grand scheme of things (从宏观角度看). All we can be certain of is that change is unavoidable, as young Bluey and Bingo find out in this particular episode, but being open to change and trusting that things will work out for the best is the best way to tackle it.
1.What does the author think of the viewing of The Sign
A. Informative. B. Changeable. C. Awe-inspiring. D. Plain.
2.What can be learned about The Sign
A. It highlights parenting skills. B. It is a primetime comedy.
C. It features big events in life. D. It unfolds an adult world.
3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Calypso
A. To praise her great wisdom. B. To show her attitude to life.
C. To advocate her teaching style. D. To lead in the ancient philosophy.
4.What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A. We will never know what is good luck or not.
B. Embracing whatever change is the best policy.
C. Not everything will change for the better.
D. Never give up despite life’s uncertainties.

《布鲁伊》最新推出的特别剧集《标志》竟然在充满童真的故事中糅合了中国道家哲学中的典故。
1.C 观点态度题。由第一段中的“it’s truly remarkable viewing”可知,这次观看体验很棒,故C项正确。awe-inspiring “令人惊叹的;使人敬佩的;令人敬慕的”。
2.B 推理判断题。由第三段中的“Alongside more genuinely laugh-out-loud moments than in most primetime comedies (与大多数黄金时段的喜剧相比,它除了有更多让人发自内心捧腹大笑的时刻之外)”可知,than后面是对比的对象,既然是与黄金时段的喜剧相比,《标志》自然是一部黄金时段喜剧,故B项正确。
3.D 写作意图题。第四段第一句提到这一集借鉴了道家哲学。介绍了一小段剧情:因为布鲁伊要搬走,Calypso老师给布鲁伊读了《农夫》的故事,安慰他,第五段接着介绍这个故事出自《淮南子》,接着具体阐述故事隐含的道理。由此说明提到Calypso老师是为了引出这个古老的哲学道理。
4.B 推理判断题。由最后一段可知,如果站在宏观角度,我们无法控制甚至无法真正知道发生在自己身上的事情是好是坏,我们唯一能确定的就是变化注定会发生,解决问题最好的办法是对变化保持开放的态度,并相信事情会朝着最好的方向发展。由此可知,B项“接受改变是上策”符合文章要表达的思想。
