Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to dream of other 4 用心 爱心 专心 things. His heart was not in school, but in the woods. One day, Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve! Pay attention!” Steve turned to look at her, fixing his eyes on Miss White, as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade. “You all did pretty well,” she told the class, “except for one boy, and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but...” She hesitated, her eyes searching his face. “...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!” She just stared at Steve. Steve dropped his eyes. After that, it was war! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework. Even as the punishments became more severe, he remained stubborn. “Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved. “You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing touched him. “Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!” Nothing. “Steve! Please! I care about you!” Wow! Suddenly, Steve got it! Someone cared about him? Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that afternoon. Walking into the house, both parents were out. He, quickly, gathered up a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread, a bottle of water, and this time...his schoolbooks. The following Monday he arrived at school on time, and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom. She walked in, all smiles! God, she was beautiful! Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test and was the first to hand in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper. Obviously puzzled, she began to look it over. Miss White’s face was in total shock! The smartest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test! From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it! He discovered that he could understand knowledge and translate the things he learned into his own life. Steve began to go ahead! 46(Steve used to be bad at his lessons because _______. A(the teacher blamed him from time to time B(he was not a smart boy in his class C(the test for the seventh grade challenged his confidence D(he hadn’t put his heart into his studies 47(The underlined word “stubborn” in the passage probably refers to “_______”.

Since earliest times, people have always been astonished by movement. But not until last 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 kinds 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. But to be an animator, you don’t have to be a professional. 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. 51.

Be active and have a positive attitude towards life. Develop confidence in yourself. Stay clean ad wear fresh clothes. Do not try to follow fashion to please others. Respect cannot be bought with big words or money. You have to get it by being honest. It also helps your personal growth. You must be a person that can be trusted to get respect.
