The hottest “green” toy in Germany isn’t made of organic or recycled materials. This one has a solar panel (太阳能电池板) and only runs if kids remember to insert bright red “energy stones” that power the space station. Germany, a pioneer in many renewable energy movements, is also at the forefront of creating environment-friendly toys aimed at making kids think about where energy comes from and how much of it they can use, raising awareness through play. A number of high-tech green toys are on display at this year's Nuremberg toy fair, which runs through Sunday.

Among them, there are hydroelectric-powered toy cars, and doll houses with wind–powered engine and rainwater catchers. The bright green "Future Planet" space station features inner equipment with a fan that is powered by a functioning solar cell. Its aim is to get kids to use their imagination about how energy will be created in the future.

Makers and retailers believe such toys will play an increasingly important role in their future and that of our kids. "Energy is the question of the future and we are definitely thinking about this as we move ahead," said Judith Schweinitz, a spokeswoman for Playmobil, maker of the solar panel-fitted space station. "It is increasingly being brought into our play concept." she added. Studies indicate that green toys which range from those made of sustainable materials to ones like the space station that just raise environmental awareness are becoming more and more popular in the international toy market.

1.The purpose of making the green toys is to ________.

A. give kids the knowledge of technology

B. improve the safety of toys

C. raise kids’ awareness about energy and environment

D. improve kids’ imagination

2.According to the text, ________ uses solar energy.

A. the “Future Planet” space station B. the doll

The story of the movie Inside Out mostly takes place inside the mind of 11-year-old Riley as she moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. The main characters are Riley’s emotions---Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear, which guide her decisions and often compete with one another for control of her brain.

Fear is tall, thin, looks like a frayed(焦燥的)nerve and is purple. Not only that, his eyes are purple, too. Anger, which is red, looks like a brick and has red eyes. Disgust, who is green, has green eyes. Sadness, not surprisingly, is completely blue, and even looks like a teardrop. But Joy, who is mainly yellow, has more than one color in her. She has blue eyes and blue hair. Why? Well, if blue represents sadness, then the message is clear: there is no such ting as “pure joy”. Instead, even in our most joyous times, there is often sadness mixed in.

After all, one of the most joyous moments we can experience is a wedding, but it may end with the breaking of a glass. It reminds us that our world is still broken. In order words, even at our highest moments, there is always a little sadness.

But the comfort is that the reverse is often true. Think about how you feel after crying. When you cry, your body is releasing some chemicals that often make you feel good. And that’s why you feel at ease after a good cry.

Indeed, Inside Out reminds us that even the emotions that appear “negative’ have value. In other words, Inside Out shows us that the goal of life isn’t “to be happy”. We will feel sad, angry or frightened. But we need our whole range of emotions for developing our sense of self and our relationship with others.

1.According to the author, Joy is different in appearance because __________.

A. it is the leading character in our life

B. that shows it is joyful for a reason

C. that shows it doesn’t just mean pure joy

D. the director wants to make it prettier

2.Why does a wedding end with the braking of a glass?

A. To remind the new couple not to overjoy

B. To show the world we live in isn’t perfect

C. To remind the new couple to pay attention to happiness

D. To show the new couple about the real meaning of marriage

3.The underlined part “the reverse is often true” in Paragraph 4 means ____________.

A. sadness is as important as joy

B. happiness doesn’t last very long

C. sadness can sometimes lead us to joy

D. we should never be too happy about something

4.The movie Inside Out is meant to tell us that ___________.

A. we should attempt to be as happy as possible

B. we should control our negative emotions

C. developing our sense of self isn’t that easy

D. we need both positive and negative emotions
