Attraction of the Minions
When it comes to film，people usually favor good over evil，focus on the hero and ignore the supporting characters．（36）F
Originally comedic background characters in the film Despicable Me （卑鄙的我），these yellow pill-shaped nuts，have totally stolen the show and turned into a popular figure．
This summer the characters debuted （首演） in their own self-titled movie in theaters abroad，having the second biggest opening weekend of all time for a cartoon film according to USA Today．Recently，McDonald's has been including Minion toys with kids'meals in some areas，causing loyal fans to flock to the restaurant to collect them all．（37）D
The movie's huge popularity even surprised its writers．"We never knew the Minions were going to be so popular．It just became a force of nature，"the film's co-writer Cinco Paul told the Los Angeles Times．
（38）A For many，the appeal is obviously their cuteness．Their simple nature can easily surpass cultures and age groups．Even children can draw them．Thousands of examples of fan-made Minion art from fingernails to Halloween clothes are visible on global social media platforms．
But there's more to the phenomenon than just cuteness．US entertainment website Hit Fix explains that their way of communicating makes the creatures influential as well．（39）G But it seems everyone can understand them through their exaggerated（夸张的） movements and expressions．
More importantly，their childlike mannerisms is a brand of humor that wins hearts．"Clumsy，foolish Minions are recognized as the ultimate B personalities，"wrote Peter Debruge of US entertainment magazine Variety．
They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master．（40）C"Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves，"Huffington Post associate Web editor Sara Boboltz wrote，"or an evil version of ourselves．"

A．So what makes the banana-loving Minions a big hit？
B．Besides，their childlike manner entertains fans more．
C．And this evil characteristic arouses sympathy among humans．
D．Related video games，toys and other goods are sweeping the world．
E．Minions is a 2015American 3D computer-animated family comedy film．
F．But when it comes to the Minions，these conventions （惯例） go right out the window．
G．The largely speak in nonsense words with the occasional recognizable terms like"potato"．

13．My daughter Kelly is a cautious person．She needs to warm up to situations，and is hesitant to try new things．When with close friends，she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants，"Girls rule，boys drool （流口水）"But when that comfort zone is not around her，she is shy and nervous．
This had been challenging for me at times．"Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me．But this has been a year of"firsts"for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence．This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team．This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels．And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon （三项全能）．
On Saturday，with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions （过渡） from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she'd need，and we kept talking about the race．But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn，she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me many times．She was nervous but trying to keep it together．
And then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my face lit up．My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated （主宰） that swim，won that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn't because she did a sport or anything like that．It was because she was afraid of something and conquered （克服） that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before．
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling．She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．
Shine on，sweet baby．
