There was a rich man who had many banana trees in a village. After a good harvest (丰收), he decided to give some bananas to the nearest temple as an offering to God. He asked one servant to take the bananas to the temple.

The servant got very hungry and ate two bananas on the way. When he reached the temple, he gave the remaining bananas to the temple. That night, the rich man had a strange dream. In his dream, God visited him and said, “The two bananas you gave me were very good.” The rich man woke up suddenly and was surprised by his dream.

The next morning, he asked the servant whether all the bananas had reached the temple or not. The servant told him he had eaten two bananas. The rich man was disappointed but wasn’t angry. Instead, he realized that helping the poor was the only way to reach God.

From that day on, the rich man started helping people in need in the village. He gave away food, clothes and money to the poor, and he even built a school for the children. His kind actions inspired others to do the same. Great changes took place in the whole village soon. Everyone was happy, and there was no more poverty.

The character, Hua Mulan, introduces Chinese culture to the world in Disney’s 1998 cartoon movie and its new live-action (真人拍摄的) movie. She becomes a world star.

In the movies, Mulan dresses herself like a boy and takes her father’s place to fight in the army. She wins the respect of the whole nation and turns into a great soldier.

According to Alex Xin, an art researcher at Peking University, Mulan in the western world has changed over the past twenty years, from a heroine in westerners’ eyes to an authentic (地道的) Chinese girl. “When you check the 1998 cartoon, Mulan was described as a fighter for women’s rights, but it missed the point, as the original (最初的) story was mainly about traditional family value. I’m glad that the new film has included this important point, showing that after twenty years. Westerners now have a better understanding of Chinese culture,” Alex Xin said.

As one of the oldest countries in the world, China has a long history and wonderful culture. Chinese culture is deep and difficult to understand for foreigners. But by introducing traditional Chinese culture in popular styles such as film, it is much easier for foreigners to understand China.

33. When was the new live-action film made?

A. In 2018. B. In 2008. C. In 1998.

34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Mulan. B. The 1998 cartoon. C. The western world.

35. What can we learn from Alex’s words?

A. Westerners think it’s difficult to understand Chinese culture.

B. The 1998 cartoon was mainly about the traditional family value.

C. Westerners can understand Chinese culture better through the new film.

36. What is the best title for the text?

A. Mulan, a World Star B. Mulan, a Lovely Girl C. Mulan, a Brave Fighter

D

Many of us have learned that chatting with a friend, relative or classmate can improve our mood (心情). And failing to communicate with others can also affect the health of our minds and bodies.

Now experts in the US have found that a good conversation just once a day could be enough to boost people’s happiness and lower their stress levels.

The researchers looked at five types of conversation that past research has found to make people feel closer. These included things like sharing jokes, listening to others’ opinions, discussing recent experiences, offering real praise and showing care for others. The researchers asked over 900 people at five US universities to have one of these five types of conversation each day. Then these people reported how their chats affected their stress, well-being and other feelings that day.

The researchers also looked at how the number of daily chats affected the people’s well-being. And they found that while one good chat was enough to improve someone’s mood, those who chose to have more of these conversations had better days. “This means the more that you listened to your friends, the more that you showed care, the more that you took time to value others’ opinions, the better you felt at the end of the day,” one of the researchers said.

The researchers also said that meeting for a chat was better for people’s well-being than using a phone or social mediums (媒介).

37. What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2mean?

A. Increase. B. Discover. C. Create.

38. How can we lower our stress according to Paragraph 3?

A. By surfing the Internet.

B. By pointing out others’ mistakes.

C. By talking about our school trip yesterday.

39. What can we infer (推断) from the researcher’s words in Paragraph 4?

A. Exchanging ideas with others is useful.

B Different conversations have different influences.

C. The number of daily chats can influence our mood.

40. What is the text mainly about?

A Good chats improve our mood.

B. The change of mood is very important.

C. Five types of conversation affect our mood.
