If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It’s a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film.

The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly, the Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.

China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions--in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl’s life and tells The Little Prince’s story at the same time in a beautiful way.

Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.

“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it’s a pity that this good characteristic(品质)goes away as time flies,” he says.

“Who are you?” asked the little prince (王子).

“I am a fox (狐狸),” said the fox.

“Come and play with me,” said the little prince. “I am so unhappy.”

“I cannot play with you,” the fox said. “I am not tamed.”

“I am looking for men,” said the little prince. “What does that mean—‘tame’?”

“To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique (独一无二的) in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...” said the fox.

“I am beginning to understand,” said the little prince. “There is a flower... I think that she has tamed me...”

“My life is very monotonous (单调的),” the fox said. “I hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored. But if you tame me, it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow (洞穴). And then look: you see the grain (谷物)-fields down there? I do not eat bread. Wheat is of no use to me. The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the colour of gold. Think it will be so wonderful when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat...”

The fox gazed at the little prince, for a long time.

“Please—tame me!” he said.

“One only understands the things that one tames,” said the fox. “Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me...”

“What must I do, to tame you?” asked the little prince.

“You must be very patient,” replied the fox. “First you will sit down at a little distance from me—like that—in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day...”

The next day the little prince came back.

“It would have been better to come back at the same hour,” said the fox. “If, for example, you come at four o’clock in the afternoon, then at three o’clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o’clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you...”

1.At the moment he first saw the fox, the little prince was.

A. bored　　 B. Afraid　　 C. worried　　 D. unhappy

2.According to the passage, the underlined word “tame” probably means.

A. to train somebody to obey you

B. to ask somebody to attack you　

C. to keep somebody waiting for you　　

D. to prevent somebody needing you

3.What will probably bring the fox back the thought of the little prince?

A. Bread.　　 B. Chickens.　　 C. Grain.　　 D. Wind.

4.The last four paragraphs are mainly about.

A. the ways the little prince tames the fox

B. the causes the little prince tames the fox

C. the purposes the little prince tames the fox

D. the best time the little prince tames the fox

5.What can we infer (推测) from the passage?

A. The fox wanted a friend.

B. The little prince was looking for the fox.

C. Men can buy friendship in the wheat fields.　

D. It is good to meet the fox at different times of a day.
