27、In the countryside in Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a girl, her little brother, their grandma and a cat named Hua Juan. In the eyes of Hua Juan, the grandma treats the boy and the girl very differently — she saves milk for the boy and feeds him as if he were a baby, not paying much attention to the girl. One day, Hua Juan falls asleep and starts to have a dream. Everything begins to change.

This is the story told in the short film I’m Hua Juan, which explores a heavy topic -the traditional preference for sons over daughters. The film helped 18-year- old Zhu Manlin win the best director award at the 2021 International Teen Short Film Festival. The competition aims to encourage middle school students internationally to look at the world around them through images and pay attention to their position within it.

Zhu, a student at Fuzhou Senior High School, said she got the idea of the film from stories she heard. “Gender (性别) preference is still a common thing. Three out of the five members of our filming team have such families with older sisters and younger brothers,” said Zhu. “Many people may take it for granted, but not for a cat. I tell the story from the viewpoint of a cat to encourage the audience to take another look at reality.”

As the director and photographer, Zhu together with her teammates spent about two months writing the script (剧本), shooting the video and editing. She used several key scenes to show the grandma’s preference for the boy: more meat in his bowl, gentler words and interesting toys, while the girl is ignored and accompanied only by Hua Juan. The strong comparison can help viewers better emotionally connect with the girl and reflect on the unfavorable situation of other girls in the same situation. Zhu also set a scene in which the girl looks through the crack of a door and sees a part from the film Sister, which describes An Ran, a girl who struggles to pursue her own dream while having to raise her younger brother after their parents died in a car crash. “I want fewer girls to have to bear such burdens as An Ran and instead bravely fight for their own rights,” said Zhu.

While the theme is realistic, the visuals are artistic. In the film, real life is in black and white while dreams are colorful. Zhu also shot the film in a square format to give it an unusual feeling as well as a sense of seriousness. She wants viewers to focus on the main story, using close-up shots to resonate with the emotions of the young actors while ignoring other unimportant factors.

Zhu said her favorite director is Lee Chang-dong from South Korea, who cares about reality but also stays poetic. “I wish I could make such films one day,” she said.

【1】What can be known about the film I’m Hua Juan?

A．It has a theme of gender preference.

B．It is adapted from a novel of the same name.

C．It took the team about half a year to make it.

D．It is based on the director’s personal experience.

【2】Why is the story told through a cat’s eyes?

A．To make the story more attractive.

B．To explain what role pets play in our life.

C．To get people to look at things in a different way.

D．To connect the story better with a younger audience.

【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The problems Zhu had shooting the film.

B．The way Zhu directed and made the film.

C．The inspiration Zhu got from the film Sister.

D．The similarity between Zhu’s film and the film Sister.

【4】How does Zhu attract viewers to the main story?

A．By focusing on social reality.

B．By using close-up shots in the film.

C．By shooting the film in black and white.

D．By expressing emotions in a poetic way.

28、Thompson Strawberry Farm

The Thompson family has been growing strawberries in Kenosha County for over 70 years. We have been primarily a “Pick-Your-Own” farm for 50 years. Scott Thompson is the 4th generation of Thompson to grow strawberries. During the peak of the “Pick-Your-Own”, our family grew 150 acres of strawberries. Our farm is located just east of The Club at Strawberry Creek Golf Course. We currently farm about 100 acres and will be picking 20 acres of strawberries this year. Although we have downsized, we still have plenty of strawberries to meet the demand. The season usually starts about mid-June and usually we pick at least through July 4th. We are more than just strawberries though. We also have raspberries, pumpkins and other vegetables!

Always check “Today on the Farm” the day you come to the farm. Weather and crowds can change the quantity of berries we have very quickly. Come out and pick your own strawberries! When you arrive at the farm, you will follow the signs to the pre-picked strawberry stand. An employee will direct you, from the stand to the strawberry field, where you can park. The field will always have employees available to answer questions, and they are located by the large trailer (拖车). We supply the baskets for you to pick the berries and take them home in. When you are done picking, you will move to the checkout stand to pay for the baskets that you have picked.

Dates & hours of operation:

Mid-June-Early July

Monday-Friday 8:00 am-6:00 pm

29、   Germans have a word “wanderlust” which translated into English would be “the desire to wander”. Nowadays the chance to travel is endless. Thanks to cheap air tickets, travelling abroad is very easy and sometimes it's even cheaper to fly out of the country than to travel within your own. So, yes, travelling is cheap but there have to be other reasons to travel and you're right. There are plenty of reasons!

I have always had this feeling of wanderlust. It started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden as a young girl and as I have grown, so has my sense of adventure. And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazil wetland, Pantanal, where I went last summer in search of jaguars, snakes and crocodiles.

The thing with travelling is that it's always different. Even if you went to the same country, to the same town and stayed in exactly the same hotel, it would be a completely different experience. The people you meet will be different, and they will tell you their own travelling stories: stories of holiday romances, holiday worries and stories that seem so outrageous that you can hardly believe them until something similar happens to you.

Or maybe the difference is you? Maybe you have changed since last time you were there? And that's the thing with travelling—it changes you. When you travel you are forced to experience a new culture. Whether it's eating a guinea pig, or staying with a family where neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand actions and smiles, the experience makes me always want to do itagain.

【1】What can we infer from the author’s Brazilian wetland experience in paragraph 2?

A．Brazilian wetland replaced the author’s local woods.

B．It’s a good place for travelling.

C．The author intends to share her nature.

D．The author likes wild animals.

【2】According to Paragraph 3, what is the most important part of travelling?

A．Having different experiences.

B．Hearing many travelling stories.

C．Experiencing holiday romances.

D．Taking more adventures.

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Staying with a family without common languages.

B．Communicating through hand actions and smiles.

C．Eating a guinea pig with a family.

D．Experiencing a different culture.

【4】The writer wrote the passage in order to ________.

A．give various reasons for travelling

B．encourage people to travel abroad

C．explain the German word “wanderlust”

D．share the writer's travelling experiences
