If so, read the introduction of the four Best Animation Studios. TOP 4 DreamWorks Animation Since 1994, DreamWorks has never failed to leave a mark. Most cartoon-lovers may know the logo of a young boy fishing on a moon. For over twenty years, audiences have enjoyed its imagination. But its influence has always been just a little bit 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 as the best animated director, perhaps 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 in 1937 the cartoon film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs caught more attention. TOP 1 Pixar Animation Studios For thirty years, it has produced many wonderful stories which attract people of every age group. Pixar films are created by their writers trying to tell better stories. With the release (发行) for Cars 3, Coco and Toy Story 4, Pixar’s next work will be better. 26. Why is Miyazaki considered as the best animated director? A. He had a great success in cartoon films. B.

The writers from Pixar Animation Studios are trying to tell better stories. 28. What can be put in the ? A. B. C. D. (B) The eyes are the window of the soul. Eye language can express different feelings. People from English-speaking countries have more eye contact when they are in conversation. When Americans are talking, they usually look at each other. But there are many rules about eye language: Whether to look at the other speaker or not; when it is the time to look, how long they can look; who they can look at and who they can’t. All these have different meanings. Americans put great importance on the time and the way of eye contact. In ordinary conversation, they will look at each other about one minute and then they will look away. Too long, eye contact will make people feel uncomfortable. Once some Americans had a trip to a foreign village and the local people stared (盯) at them. The Americans were angry and thought the local people were not friendly. In fact, it was natural and local area. They were just curious (好奇的). People who like each other have more eye contact than people who dislike each other. Women usually communicate with more eye contact. If two Americans stare at each other, it shows they are close friends. In North America, the children have learned to look at the other speaker in the eye. If they don’t, they are thought to be unconfident. 29.

(C) Meeting Anne Matthew Cuthbert was on his way to Bright River on his horse and carriage. He was a quiet man who didn’t speak much, especially to strangers.

Give me your bag.” As they rode home, Anne talked on and on. Normally, too much talking would make Matthew angry, but from Anne, he didn’t mind.
