5.Are you expecting something big from Disney?Well,it may be a big hit,but it's not a big hero.
Young Piglet,so small that he is often overlooked by his friends,lives in the Hundred Acre Wood.When Piglet's friends set out to harvest honey from the beehives(蜂窝)in the forest,the little pig is told that he's too small to come along.Feeling inferior(自卑的)to his friends,Piglet sets off to work out his place in the world.
When the honey hunters return,they can't find their little friend Piglet,only
his notebooks of their past adventures.As they look through the books,Winnie the Pooh(小熊维尼),Tigger,Eeyore and the Rabbit realize just how much their small friend means to them,and how much they've taken him for granted.
So,they set out to find Piglet in order to ask him to come back home.Along the way the little pig shows that he had been a hero in many ways.
Piglet's Big Movie(小猪历险记) is a new,warm Disney offering.It follows films starring
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

Piglet's Big Movie,with its lessons has been warmly welcomed by kids."Piglet is so sweet,so warm-hearted.It is hard not to love him,"said Loren King,a girl in the United States."There are messages about self-respect and appreciating people who are important to you."
The animation(动画片) is partly made by computers,but mostly made up of attractive watercolor art,which gives it a classic look.

3.Many of the expressions using water have different kinds of meanings in English."Throwing cold water"means"not to like an idea".For example,you want to buy a new
 car because the old one has some problems but your parents throw cold water on the idea,because they think a new car costs too much.
"Water over the dam"is another expression about a past event.It's something that finishes and it can't be changed.The expression comes from the idea---water has run over a dam and it can't be brought back again.When a friend is troubled by a mistake he has made,you might tell him to forget about it.You can say"It's water over the dam".
"Be in hot water"was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble.One story says it got the meaning from throwing hot water down on enemies attacking a town.That happens no longer,but we still get into hot water.
 When we are in hot water,we are in trouble.It can be any kind of trouble,serious or not serious.A person who breaks a rule can be in hot water with the police.A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in a house with dirty shoes.

1.In the 1930s,Dan West was farming in Spain.
It was wartime,and people were starving (挨饿).An (66)ideahit him as he handed out cups of milk to children."These children don't need a cup.They need a cow."This was the (67)beginningof Heifer International.
Heifer International gives different (68)kinds of gifts.Its gifts might say"quack"or"moo".Dan West asked friends in the United States to give gifts of heifers(小母牛),or young cows.(69)Sincethen,Heifer International has given animals to four million families.It gives people the chance to (70)feed themselves.
