Disney movies are fun. But have you ever thought that each movie offers great life lessons about things like patience, willpower, kindness and tolerance?

To prove it , we have listed great quotes(引语) for kids from famous Disney characters:

It’s good to laugh at yourself when you make a mistake, which can help you feel more relieved. Next time you make a mistake, don’t worry, just do what Mickey Mouse does: “To laugh at yourself is to love yourself”.

---Mickey Mouse

Everyone experiences adversity, the trouble you might face in your life. Never allow yourself to become upset by adversity. It is a time for growth, and shaping who you are. “The flower blooming in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.”

---The Emperor, Mulan

The phrase, “Walk in someone else’s shoes,” ---Pocahontas, means trying to see things from someone else’s point of view, feeling how they feel, and understanding the struggles they face. This is what is known as empathy(同情)and having more of it would reduce things like bullying(欺凌), war and prejudice. Then the world would be a better place.

Have you noticed people put value on things because of their look? Sometimes, we might ignore a book because we dislike the cover, or not buy a toy because we don’t like the box it comes in. though the inside might be something amazing, we pass it by because the outside wasn’t what we were looking for. Often we judge people this way too. This is unfortunate because we could be missing out on a great friendship. Here’s what the movie Aladdin says about this: “Do not be fooled by its common appearance. Actually, it is the inside that counts.”

1.Why is it good to laugh at yourself when making mistakes?

A. Because it can cover your anxiety.

B. Because it is beneficial to your health.

C. Because it can help correct your mistake.

D. Because it can help others better understand you.

2.Whose quote means great social benefit?

A. Mulan’s.

B. Aladdin’s.

C. Pocahontas’s.

D. Mickey Mouse’s.

3.Who is the passage intended to be written for?

A. Children.

B. Parents.

C. Teachers.

D. Audiences.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The meaning of watching Disney movies.

B. The plots and characters of Disney movies.

Sometimes people call each other　 " scared cat" , but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream.　 If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.

Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger - and regretted later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher or told somebody you were lonely and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always wise to express your feelings freely.

Does this mean that it's always smarter to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings like anger hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away. It's as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are you'd see little fruit flies hovering(盘旋) all over them. They'd be rotten. You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exit, but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.

1.The best title for this article is

A. What Happens to An Excited Person

B. What Happens to A Frightened Cat

C. Emotions Affect Our Bodies

D. Feelings That People Have

2.According to the passage, human beings get into trouble because ______.

A. they are not as alert as animals

B. they always do something wrong to other people

C. they sometimes can't control their feelings

D. they don't pay attention to their physical changes

3.The underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to________.

A. bad emotion　　　　 　　　 B.　 a bottle

C. physical illness　　　　 D. a rotten banana

4.The author mainly intends to tell us to _______ .

A. make us face the problem that we have to deal with feelings

B. give us some advice on how to express our feelings

C. tell us that it isn't good to keep feelings inside

D. make us know that it isn't always wise to express our feelings freely

Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about what happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don't sell? Well，you might be shocked to find out that about one third of food produced for humans gets wasted. What's more，around 800 million people in the world don't live a healthy life for lack of food.

Many people in the UK and across the world are trying to do something with this situation. They are trying their best to make use of eatable food that is thrown away.

For example，there is a coffee bar in Leeds (UK) whose meals are all cooked with unsold food from supermarkets. The spare food is turned into delicious food to feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers　 just pay what they can afford or help the bar wash something. In just ten months,10,000 people were fed at this bar.

Besides，the UK's first food waste supermarket opened last year. The supermarket works on a “pay as you feel” basis. Customers pay whatever they want. Some low­income families have said that it has changed their lives.

“Fuel for School” is another food waste project. Spare food from supermarkets such as dairy，vegetables，fruit and bread is used to feed hungry schoolchildren whose families may not be able to afford to buy them lunch.

More coffee bars like Leeds are being opened in other parts of the UK such as Bristol and Manchester，and it is now becoming a worldwide event.

I think this is an amazing step as food waste is one of the world's biggest problems. I also believe that the law should be changed，so that supermarkets don't throw away so much good food.

1.What does the author think of the coffee bar's action?

A.He thinks it very good. B.He is worried about it.

C.He is doubtful about it. D.He thinks it interesting.

2.What's the goal of “Fuel for School”？

A.Help poor kids choose healthy food to eat.

B.Deal with bad food from supermarkets.

C.Make kids perform well in their study.

D.Feed students from poor families.

3.Which of the following does the author advise?

A.We buy food based on our ability.

B.More coffee bars are opened in Leeds.

C.Restaurants offer children food for free.

D.Governments take action to reduce food waste.

4.What is the best title of the text?

A.The Problem of Food Waste Should Be Solved

B.Fuel for School Offers Food to The Poor

C.Different Actions to Solve the Problem of Food Waste in UK

D.Spare Food From Supermarkets Is Thrown Away

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.

Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.

Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.

If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.

Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.

You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.

1.Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually________.

A. an expression of happiness　 　　 B. a way of warning

C. an expression of anger　 　　　　 D. a way of greeting

2.What does the underlined word “territory”　 mean?

A. A place where families of other species are not accepted

B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice

C. An area for which birds fight against each other

D. An area which a bird considers to be its own

3.Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?

A. Because they want to invite more friends

B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away

C. Because they want to find outsiders around

D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears

4.How does the writer explain bird’s singing?

A. By comparing birds with human beings

B. By reporting experiment results

C. By describing birds’ daily life

D. By telling a bird’s story
