A Hollywood movie was met with an awkward situation last Saturday in China. While fans are standing in long queues to watch the first show, others are advocating a boycott(抵制)on the American movie with Chinese story elements.

  After "Kung Fu Panda", a cartoon movie telling about a panda’s Kung Fu master journey, hit China’s silver screens in 2008, its sequel (续集), Kung Fu Panda 2, was released in China just ahead of International Children’s Day, adding more Chinese elements such as shadow play (皮影戏) and lion dancing.

  However, some Chinese artists and scholars argue that the movie has twisted (扭曲) Chinese culture and serves as a tool to "kidnap (绑架)" the mind of the Chinese people.

  “Children’s Day should be pure. Don’t turn it into a money-making day for Hollywood, and don’ t fool our next generation with American fast food,” according to an open letter to Chinese cinema managers written by Zhao Bandi, an artist hoping to boycott the “Americanized” movie. His move is backed by Kong Qingdong, a professor of the Chinese language in Beijing University, who said Chinese elements have become advertising products to advocate American culture. "It is a cultural invasion," said Kong.

  In the movie, the main character called “Po,” a panda, is talkative, humorous, lovely, and is widely believed to be a typical American figure.

  However, the panda has won millions of fans in China. On China’s most popular website, comments on the movie reached nearly 270 million entries.

  “I won’t call it a cultural invasion,” said Li Jiayi, a Beijing university student. “I see nothing bad for others to use our cultural elements to make a movie. I’ m a huge fan of Po. In spite of being a cartoon, it is still loved by many adults like me,” said the 25-year-old after watching the first show at midnight.

  Cao Hui, general manager of Shenzhen Global Digital Creations company, said: “instead of a

‘boycott’, movie producers should learn from the movie to make better use of Chinese story elements. Technically, Kung Fu Panda is not more advanced than Chinese movies, but as for story telling skills, Chinese movies have a long way to go”.

1.Some artists and scholars are against "Kung Fu Panda" because they think_____.

A. it has added too many Chinese elements

B. it has ruined Chinese image deliberately

C. it is an exact copy of Chinese culture

D. it is advertising American culture

2.What does the underlined word “backed” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. supported       B. criticized       C. released        D. resisted

3.This passage can be classified as _________.

A. an advertisement   B. a feature story  C. a news report      D. a film review

  When I was an official of a school in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times.Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school.He was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers.But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room.His parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride.Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident.After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.

  “Today we buried our 20-year-old son.He was killed in a motorcycle accident on Friday night.How I wish I had known that the last time I had talked to him would be the last time.If I had only known that, I would have said to him, ‘Jim, I love you and I’m always so proud of you.’ I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him.I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people.

  “When I put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating(恼人的)things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., I find that the irritations really don’t amount to much.

  “I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance.Tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation.The last time I talked to Jim was the morning of the day when he died.He called me to say, ‘Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you.You have to go to work now.Bye.’ That day, he gave me something to treasure forever.”

  If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care.You may never have another chance.Do it today!
