Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move.

Since earliest times, people have always been astonished by movement. But not until this century have we managed to take control of movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to retranslate it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector（放映机）.

In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.

A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was a wonderful cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back.

Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girl friend Olive Oyo were born at Max Ficischer in 1933.

But to be an animator, you don’t have to be a professional（专业人士）. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is to draw directly on to an empty film and then run the film through a projector.

The word“diary”comes from the Latin word“diarium”，which means“daily allowance”.It refers to a book for disconnected writings by date and is used for business notes，planning activities，keeping track of scheduled appointments，or documenting what has already happened.

In America，from the 1940s through the 1980s，a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping marks about the day.In those times，and even continuing on today，writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend.Many times，movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud，“Dear diary,…”What followed was a brief statement of the day，usually filled with emotion.

Those private reflections may have historical significance long after the author’s death.A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history，for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in the World War II.Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many films.

Semuel Pepys，who lived during the 17th Century，is the earliest diary-keeper that is famous today.His diary is also an important documentation of history，for it gives personal insight into London’s Great Plague and the Great Fire.Pepys took diary writing from the realm of business to the individual.His diary is being published on the Internet，and it's interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003.It will continue over the course of several years to come.Reading his diary is fascinating，and it makes his life all the more real to us.

Today’s electronic version of the diary，the web log，or“blog”has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events.There are blogs to document recipes，traveling，movies，independent news，product announcements，photos，and anything else that needs to be recorded over time.Search engines like Technorati.com have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public.In its newest replacement，the diary has become more popular than ever.

1.Generally what is a diary used for?

A. Taking business notes.　　 B. Planning activities.

C. Keeping daily happenings.　　 D. Confirming the appointments.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“realm”in the fourth paragraph?

A. Kingdom.　　 B. Field.　　 C. Department.　　 D. Land.

3.Why does the author mention Anne Frank’s diary in the third paragraph?

A. To let us know the popularity of her diary.

B. To show us the invaluable lessons about the history.

C. To present her dramatic and interesting experience during the War.

D. To emphasis the importance of keeping diaries for historical purposes.

4.What can we know about the blog?

A. It has been more widely accepted by the public.

B. Technorati is the only search engine created for it.

C. The diary remains the same form but still popular.

D. Nothing but the individual daily events can be recorded.

C

Chinese students have tended to come to the UK at a younger age in recent years, which means they come to Britain not only for higher education, but also for high school or even primary school. Asian investors（投资者） have followed this trend, and started to buy independent schools to serve this demand.

An article carried by the Times of London on October 17 reported that last year Chinese-owned company Achieve Education bought Chase Grammar, a boarding and day school in Cannock, Staffordshire. Chase Grammar includes a program that offers extra support for pupils from China. “ This trend is very good and I am not at all surprised,” Barnaby Lenon, chairman of the Independent Schools Council, told the Global Times, adding that Chinese people like the English education system. “ We welcome Chinese investors in British private education.”　 “Chase Grammar School is small, and the classes are small. It gives the school a family atmosphere,” Jackie Medhurst, principal of Chase Grammar School, said in a welcome note on the school’s website.

Small class sizes, personal care, good exam result, and entry to world famous universities are features that are most attractive to Chinese students. But many parents are also worried that foreign investors might expand the proportion of international students, and that might undermine the British tradition.

It seems that Chase Grammar does not intend to hide their attempts to attract Chinese families. It has set up a China office in Shanghai to facilitate Chinese parents’ communication with the school. Tong Zhou, a director of Chase Grammar, told the media that the school does not intent to change the ratio of local students and international students.

Some international branches of British boarding schools are very popular in Asia. In recent years, the Chinese passion for the British boarding school system has led some of the best-known schools such as Harrow and Wellington to set up satellite schools in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. And the trend continues.

It seems that the rising wealthy class in Asia is not satisfied with international branches in their own countries. They want to send their kids to the original British boarding schools to be surrounded by English people and immersed in the British culture. To support their children studying in the UK, Chinese parents are buying houses in Britain. According to a survey by UK Property Weekly, houses near universities and outstanding primary and secondary schools are the most preferable location for Chinese buyers.

Compared to the independent school system, universities are more open. It is reported that China remains the leading source of international students for London.

1.Which of the following can we know from Barnaby Lenon’s words?

A. He was surprised at the present current trend.

B. English universities are better than those in China.

C. The English education system is welcomed by the Chinese.

D. There will be fewer investors in private education.

2. Which of the following is NOT among the attractions of the British schools?

A. The small size of classes.

B. The entry to world-famous universities.

C. Good exam results.

D. Good living conditions.

3.The underlined word “ undermine” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. weaken　　　 B. strengthen　　 C. follow　　　 D. overcome

4. Chinese parents are buying houses in order to ______.

A. invest more money

B. support their children’s education

C. show off their ability

D. compete with other parents
