A. 回答问题
根据短文内容回答问题。
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? It’s SpongeBob SquarePants, of course! Last month, the show’s creator, Stephen Hillenburg, sadly passed away at the age of 57. But he left behind a show that is loved by people of all ages around the world. What has made SpongeBob SquarePants so popular?
One reason is that it is “made for children and not made for children”. SpongeBob lives on his own and has a job. But he is still quite innocent (天真的). He often finds himself in difficult situations—for example, his neighbor Squidward (章鱼哥) often picks on (刁难) him, and his boss Mr. Krabs doesn’t pay him very well. But he always has a good attitude. Many of us have to face similar situations in our own lives.
I’d mostly stopped watching cartoons when the show first came out in 1999. But when I was in college, my friends and I would still watch SpongeBob now and then. Do you know how Hillenburg created SpongeBob? Before working in the cartoon industry, Hillenburg was a biology teacher at a college. He was not just a teacher, but also an artist—he used his artistic skills to create colorful characters, which he used to teach in class. These characters would go on to become the cast of SpongeBob SquarePants, bringing joy to kids and adults all over the world.

My Favorite Movie
Hello, boys and girls. It’s my honor to stand here to share my favorite movie. It’s called Mulan. The movie is about a girl, Mulan. She dressed up like a boy and took her father’s place to fight in the army. Finally, she not only saved her father, but also protected the country. I think the main actress played Mulan’s role well in the movie. The other actors also did a good job. From the movie, I have learned Mulan’s love for her family, friends and country.
As a teenager, we should also study hard and make our country stronger in the future.
