24、The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mom makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is distinguished (区分) only by a birthmark around his right eye.

The cartoon piglet is not smart, either. Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan, but the sport doesn’t really exist, of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ending up on a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark instead.

However, the slow, dumb pig has won over Hong Kong people, often stereotyped (塑造) as eager to quick success. So far, there are five McDull movies shown in both the mainland and Hong Kong.

The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mak confused (困惑的). “Maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull,” she says. Like McDull, Mak moves and speaks slowly. She describes herself as a simple person, who does not try to draw too much meaning from the McDull stories.

“McDull reminds people they used to be as simple and happy as him,” Mak says. “If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a complicated (复杂) world.”

In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience: “I suddenly realize that there is something you just cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no treasure...it turns out that being stupid is not funny, it could mean failure. Disappointment is not funny, fat is not funny, fat does not even mean you have more strength. When I grow up, when I face the tough world that is not funny, what should I do?”

“What he has been doing in the movies is to find new dreams. Most of them keep failing him, but he always starts again with a new one,” Mak says. “Maybe that’s why both children and adults find him cute.”

【1】Picture ________ shows McDull.

A．

B．

C．

D．

【2】The theme in the McDull movies is probably ________.

A．how to achieve quick success

B．how to face failures bravely

C．how to find new dreams

D．how to keep simple in a complicated world

【3】From the text, it is true that ________.

A．McDull always succeeds in everything he tries

B．McDull movies are only shown in the mainland

C．McDull keeps an active state of mind in his life

D．The creator Alice Mak knows exactly why McDull has become popular

【4】The best title of the passage is ________.

A．The Pig that Dares to Dream

B．McDull’s Dreams

C．A Famous Creator—Alice Mak

D．Reasons for McDull’s failures

25、A mindset is the way of thinking.Your mindset can affect almost every part of your daily life. Dr. Carol Dweck, a scientist who studies how the mind works, has discovered that people with a fixed (固定的) mindset deal with problems in a different way from those with growth mindset.

Imagine that two students, Anna and Amy, are taking a really hard math test in September. Anna has a fixed mindset, everything is easy for you. Amy has a growth mindset, which means she believes that your intelligence can grow. Not everyone can become a genius, but they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones.

So which is right? It’s Amy. Believe it or not, research shows that you really can get smarter by working hard, practicing, and challenging yourself.

As you know, your brain is made up of billions of neurons (神经元). They are all connected and send messages to each other. Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger. But if connections aren’t used, they will break down. So, learning is like exercise for your brain. The more you work it out, the stronger and smarter your network of neurons will become.

According to Dr. Carol Dweck’s studies, people with a fixed mindset worry about grades. They’re afraid of looking stupid when they make mistakes. People with a growth mindset care about learning not grades. They learn from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems. They ask for help when necessary. In only two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If they make mistakes, they just try again.

Dweck’s team also discovered that, with some work, kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do better in school. The trick is to notice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it’s not true. You just have not learned how to do something yet.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about neurons?

A．Learning is not always helpful to them.

B．All of them are connected to each other.

C．They only make new connections when we study.

D．The connections among them will never break down.

A．I will look foolish when I make mistakes in study.

B．If you are smart enough, you can do everything easily.

C．The mindset plays the most important role in people ‘s life.

D．Everyone can get smarter by working hard and practicing more.

【3】The writer gives the example of babies in Paragraph 5 to show that babies ________.

A．learn new skills from mistakes

B．easily make mistakes in daily life

C．learn skills faster than older people

D．have fewer worries than older people

He decided that he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, when a young woman opened door, the boy was shy, so he just asked for some water.

As the boy left that house, he felt stronger. He knew he had many things to do.

27、Traffic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals. Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.

The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks. The color red was used to mean “stop” because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red “stop” light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean “take care” and a white light meant “go”.

However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant “go”. So the signals were swapped. The “go” light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white.

During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.

Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.

【1】Why did people use the color red to mean “stop” ?

A．Because the color red kept people from danger.

B．Because the color red was the hardest color to see from a distance.
