    Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, a cartoon film based on a popular Chinese cartoon TV series, has won the hearts of children in China. The Chinese cartoon began to be shown in public on 16th January, 2009, the first day of the winter holiday for Chinese primary school students. The children seemed to go straight from the school to the cinema.

    Two weeks after its release(首次上映), the cartoon film got a box office income(票房收入)of 68 million yuan, bigger than that of an American film, Madagascar 2, which was released in China on 1st January, 2009.

    “I think it is more interesting than Madagascar 2, ” said 8­year­old Wang Lu, who had seen both the Chinese and American cartoon films.

    However, some parents don't have the same enthusiasm for Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. “It's so childish that I almost fell asleep in the cinema, ”Wang Lu's father said.

    But because primary school children's great interest, the Pleasant Goat and Big Big wolf made a great success at the box office results. Parents join their children in the cinema—buying two or three tickets to keep them accompanied(陪同).

    Some young people find the film funny enough to watch. “The Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf are so cute, ” Dong Lei, a 22­-year-­old college student said.

    “However, compared with the animation(动画制作)technology of Hollywood cartoon films such as Kung Fu Panda, the film still has room for improvement, ” said cartoonist Yang Lin.

A: Hi, Ann. Where did you go yesterday?

B: I went to the cinema to see a film.

A:

B: Turbo.

A: No, never.

B: Yes, it's a very wonderful cartoon.

A: What's it about?

B:

A: It must be very interesting, right?

B: I think so. By the way, I know you like cartoons, too.

A: I like cartoons with happy endings.

B: Another cartoon will be on at the Student Cinema next weekend. Shall we go to see it together?

A: All right. See you next weekend.

B: See you.

    Danny is my friend. He (live) in a rich family. His parents always(give)him lots of pocket money. But Danny always (try) his best(save) money. He has some good ways to do it.

    Danny enjoys(read).He (buy) lots of books since he was young. He tells me he often buys books online, because they're cheaper. And when he has free time, he often goes to bookstores or libraries to do some reading. Last Saturday, he ((invite) me to our city library to read.

    It is important for each child to get enough sleep every day. Here. we'll learn more about that.

    It usually depends on(取决于) their age. Newborns of o to 3 months should sleep for about 18 hours a day. Babies of 4 to 11 months should start to sleep through the night, for 9 to 12 hours at a time. Children of 3 to 5 years should get 11 to 13 hours a day. Children of 6 to 13 need 9 to 11 hours of sleep. Teenagers(青少年) of 14 and up need 8 to 10 hours of sleep.

    Set a strict nap timetable(小睡时间表). Younger children should take a short sleep during the day. Even older children can benefit(获益) from late-afternoon naps if they don't get enough sleep at night. 

    Pay attention to screen time. Remember to ask children to tum off the television and the computer an hour before they go to bed. If possible, get them out of their bedrooms since the light from the screens can make sleep a difficult job. 

    Get children moving. Running around and playing sports are great, but children can move in other ways too. They can take a dog for a walk or go to the park-just get them out of the house and get them moving.
