17. Do you like cartoons? If so, read the introduction to the 5 Best Animation(动画)Studios.

TOP 5 Nickelodeon Animation Studios

In 1998, the company entered the cartoon film industry. Among the best animated series it

has offered, many stand out, including Sponge Bob Square Pants and Invader Zim.

TOP 4 DreamWorks Animation

Since 1994, Dream Works has never failed to leave a mark. Most cartoon-lovers may know

the logo (标志) of a young boy fishing from his seat on a moon. For over twenty years,

audiences have enjoyed its imagination. But its influence has always been just slightly

weaker than those of the next three.

TOP 3 Studio Ghibli

After the success of Miyazaki's 1984 film Nausicaa of the valley of the Wind, he set up

Studio Ghibli in 1985 with producer Toshio and director Isao. Now, eight of the fifteen most

money-making cartoon films in Japanese history are made by Studio Ghibli. Because of his

achievements, Miyazaki is considered the best animated director, perhaps of all the time.

TOP 2 Walt Disney Animation Studios

Disney has given us so many childhood memories. The studio was set up in 1923 by Walt

Disney and his elder brother Roy when the two began producing silent short cartoons in Los

Angeles. The introduction of Mickey Mouse helped start the company's career, but the 1937

cartoon film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs caught more attention.

The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal's Office

When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place,

but I couldn't always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even

pulled a girl's hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to

the office of the principal（校长）. Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal,

Mr. Ratcliff.

Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked（打屁股）me for putting some ants

into a classmate's pencil box, it didn't hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so

much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.

When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff's office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt

disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor.

Then he said the last thing I expected to hear: "Kevin, I've heard you've been behaving really

well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office

to give you a peppermint."

"Really?" I was surprised.

"Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class."

I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I

bragged（吹嘘）to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn't so bad after all.

Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with

behavior. He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got

something-anything-right. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just

remember him for the rest of my life.

（1）In his seventh grade, the writer ______.

A hated the principal B had problems behaving C always followed the

rules D often helped his classmates

（2）How did the writer feel when he went to the principal's office for the sixth time?

A Lonely. B Excited. C Confident. D Disappointed.

（3）The sixth time the writer went to the principal's office, he got ______.

A a peppermint B a model bus C a pencil box D a coin

（4）The writer will always remember Mr. Ratcliff, because the principal ______.

A talked with him in the office B played games with him C expected him to be a

teacher D gave him some hope and love

19. Have you ever paid for educational podcasts （播客） or live videos? Ask some people

and most of them will say yes． "Pay﹣for﹣knowledge" has been more and more

fashionable these years． The contents of these"pay﹣for﹣ knowledge" products are from

language learning to gardening or baby﹣caring． Everything you think of can be found

online at this moment． "Pay﹣for﹣knowledge"is on the rise （兴起）．

Why is "pay﹣for﹣knowledge" industry developing so rapidly? First, its development is

based on the Internet． With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the

identity （身份）check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account can

buy"pay﹣for knowledge" products that he or she wants at an affordable

price． Second, people are afraid to miss any information． On one hand, people hope for

more useful information． On the other hand, such information is usually at the hands of

experts （专家） who serve well﹣known companies and universities．Moreover, the need

to learn new skills in today's job market also pushes people to learn on such educational

podcasts．

The industry of "pay﹣for﹣knowledge" has proved to________． It promises possibilities of

turning information into money． It is good for the development of our country and it can

help sellers make lots of money． Besides, buyers can enjoy self﹣growth from it．What's

more, this is a reflection （反映） of respect for knowledge and talents．

However, the rapid development of"pay﹣for knowledge" has a few problems．For one

thing, the market is full of eye﹣ catching words such as"How to be an Industry's Expert in 5

Hours" and "15 Classes to Be a Master of Appreciating （欣赏） Classical Music", which

sound like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed． For another, a large number of

customers buy them just for showing off． In fact, those who have really had self﹣growth

after buying online courses may be the kind of people who need them least． In other

words, with or without these courses, they can make it anyway, because they are those who

have the ability to learn by themselves．

In general, the best is the one that suits you most．"Pay﹣ for﹣knowledge" may be used

as a good start for self﹣ growth． Be careful! Otherwise, your dream of success may not

come true．
