Smashing box-office records in animation (动画片), the film? Ne Zha has proved to be a dark horse, tipped to lift up the Chinese film industry, which has experienced a slowdown in the past five months.
The film, which topped the mainland's ticket-revenue (收入) charts for four consecutive (连续的) days, has grossed more than 800 million yuan ($116 million) since it hit domestic (国内的) theaters on Friday, according to live box-office tracker Maoyan.

1 / 14
animated films released in China.
Loosely based on the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) novel Fengshen Yanyi(The Investiture of the Gods), the film is about a mythological figure( 神话人物) who fights against unfair destiny (命运).
The 110-minute film, helmed by 1980s-born director Yang Yu, better known as Jiaozi (\"dumpling\"), offers a retelling of the household tale that will strike a chord (引起共鸣) with a modern Chinese audience.
\"I wanted to change the stereotypical (成见) telling of the original story. This film is about an individual who fights against prejudice (偏见) and social exclusion,\" says Yang.
In the movie, Ne Zha is born with a \"cursed (被诅咒的) destiny\". He is unfairly treated by local villagers who believe that the naughty, yet good-hearted, child will grow up to be a public threat. His father, Li Jing, was depicted as a noble man who would sacrifice (牺牲) his own life to rescue his son.
Li Baochuan, an expert in animation at Hangzhou Normal University, says Ne Zha shows the development of animation techniques in China and has reducedthe gap (差距) with the world's best.

But on Sunday morning, just before the end of her quarantine, Zhang had a heart attack. She died on Monday. Zhang's husband, Han Wentao, was in Sierra Leone, West Africa, working on construction projects there. They have a 5-year-old daughter.
When Han learned of his wife's heart attack, he tried to return to China quickly. But flights had been suspended because of the pandemic.
Zhang was in the first group of 138 medical professionals who traveled to Hubei on Jan 25 to help treat COVID-19 patients.
She was hailed by her patients as \"a beam of light in the dark night\" the Hubei Health Commission said in a notice published late Monday on its website.

Passage 3:Changing our diet in uncertain times Many of us eat purely to satisfy our appetite for delicious food. But due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many Chinese people are changing their eating habits.
Due to busy work schedules, ordering simple and quick
5 / 14
meals online used to be commonplace (寻常的) for many young people in China. Zhang Xiaoyan, a 30-year-old from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, was one of them. She typically ate in the office and seldom cooked at home on weekdays. Even on weekends, she would prefer takeout food. But amid the NCP outbreak, being trapped at home for an extended (延长的) period has changed her eating habit. Now, she rolls up her sleeves and cooks for herself. “Cooking by myself sometimes is quite time-demanding, but it helps me have a healthy diet,” Zhang told China Daily.
Instead of eating at fast food chains or restaurants, cooking at home has become a nationwide trend. Some even regard sharing food videos on their WeChat Moments at meal times as “a special way to say hello to each other when face-to-face dinner is not possible,” noted China Daily.
Apart from cooking at home, many also eat separately and adopt (采用) the habit of using serving chopsticks and spoons, or gongkuai and gongshao in Chinese.
Influenced by collectivism (集体主义), communal eating habits have been a part of Chinese culture for centuries. For Chinese people, eating one’s own dish would be considered rude during a social gathering. They typically share several
6 / 14
dishes laid out in the center of a table and sometimes share utensils (餐具) in the meals to show their respect and closeness.
Though it seems polite, it’s indeed risky. According to World Health Organization, foodborne (食物传播的) diseases are quite common, and saliva (唾液) is one of the most common ways for them to spread. So many cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have already launched initiatives (倡议) for people to order separate meals.
“Healthy eating habits and maintaining good order have become real issues for us. It’s related to people’s health and safety, and it’s also a personal responsibility during the pandemic (大流行),” noted Guangming Daily. These are habits formed amid the pandemic, but as long as they are good for our health, perhaps we should keep them from now on. 1:How has Zhang Xiaoyan’s eating habit changed?
A. She eats simple and quick meals more often. B. She cooks meals by herself at home. C.She now orders more takeout food.
D. She often copies the meals her friends post on WeChat. 2:What do Paragraphs 5-7 mainly talk about?
A. How to change communal eating habits.
7 / 14
B. Why changing communal eating habits helps. C.The relationship between culture and eating habits. D. The role collectivism plays in Chinese eating habits 3:What does Guangming Daily’s quote tell us?
A. Eating habits have a lot to do with our health. B. Safety always comes first in every situation.
C.People are warned that foodborne diseases are on the rise.
D.It’s difficult for Chinese people to break bad eating habits. 参考答案:BBA
Passage 4: Staying inside to inspire
Life has changed quickly since COVID-19 broke out worldwide. Many people find themselves isolated (隔绝的) at home, bored and lonely. But if we look at history, there are many great people who produced their best work when they were alone.
Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and James Clerk Maxwell, three of the greatest physicists in history, worked by themselves most of the time. They learned from others not by working with them directly, but by reading their papers and books.
8 / 14
American philosopher (哲学家) Henry Thoreau is another example. In 1845, he built a cabin (木屋) in the woods and lived there in solitude (孤独) for two years. Isolation led to his book Walden, which is about nature, simplicity (质朴) and beauty. As he wrote: “I never found the companion (陪伴) that was so companionable as solitude. [It allows you to] be a Columbus to whole new continents (大陆) and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.”
One advantage of staying alone, as we may all find, is the lack of distractions (干扰). In daily life, when we need to focus, even small talk can throw us off course. Therefore, choosing to isolate yourself from time to time can improve your productivity greatly. What’s more, our sensitivity (敏感) to criticism (批评) from others can stop our progress. We are better at expressing ourselves and thinking freely on our own.
According to Barbara Ess, an American photographer, isolation also forces us to pay attention to the details of life and surroundings (周围环境) that we wouldn’t normally see. This special experience helps us think more deeply about ourselves and our environment, which leads to even greater creativity.Great works produced in quarantine

In 1606, when a viral (病毒的) epidemic hit London, all of the theaters in the city were forced to close.

After finding himself without a steady (固定的) job, but lots of free time, Shakespeare got to writing. He wrote King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra before the year was over.
Isaac Newton
In 1665, when English physicist Isaac Newton was in his early 20s, a viral epidemic hit the country. Classes at Cambridge University were canceled, so Newton went back to his home. During his quarantine, the young man wrote the papers that would become early calculus (微积分). He also developed theories about optics (光学) while playing with prisms (棱镜) in his bedroom.
Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch, painter of The Scream, didn’t just see the Spanish Flu pandemic change the world around him – he was infected himself in 1919 while living in Norway. But Munch continued making great art. As soon as he felt better, he gathered his painting supplies and began keeping records of his experience. Self-Portrait with the Spanish Flu shows him
