Peter Pan is a classic character created by J.M.Barrie in
1904.At first,the story was shown as a play,and later it be-
came a book.For more than 100 years,both children and
adults have loved this story.It is full of magic,exciting adven-
tures,and sweet childhood memories.
After Disney made it into a new film,the story became
even more popular around the world.In the film,people can
see magical fa.iries(仙女)and mermaids(美人鱼)swimming
in clear waters.And Peter Pan has the ability to fly.But the
most important part is its main idea:never-ending youth(
)This theme of staying young forever makes it a timeless
Disney classic.
Why do people love this idea so much?Because adult life
can be tiring with responsibilities,while childhood is simple
and happy.Just like kids sometimes make excuses not to go to
school,adults also wish to take a break from their busy lives.
That's why everyone has a little "Peter Pan"in their heart-a
part that doesn't want to grow up.
Peter Pan is more than just a character.He has human
qualities(特质),like feeling happy and being brave,and he can
light up our memories with his joyful spirit.Thanks to him,the
fantasy of "never growing up"stays alive in people's hearts.
So let's always treasure those happy times,just like Peter Pan
teaches us.
)66.According to the text,in what ways has the Peter
Pan's story been shown?
A.Play,magic,and film.
B.Book,film,and cartoon.
C.Song,poem,and play.
D.Play,book,and film.
)67.What's the main topic of Peter Pan?
A.Fairies and mermaids.B.Family connection.
C.Flying ability.
D.Endless youth.
)68.What's the writer's opinion of childhood?
A.It is as tiring as adult life.
B.People hope to hold on to it.
C.It is short and busy.
D.People pretend to like it.
)9.The underlined word“fantasy”means“
A.a wonderful imagination B.a funny joke
C.a real memory
D.a difficult problem
)70.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.The History of Disney Classics
B.The Creator of Peter Pan
C.The“Never Growing Up”Peter Pan
D.The Lasting Childhood Memories

It is The Foolish Old Man Who Moved the

to remove two huge mountains blocking his village.
Though others laughed at him,he kept digging every
day with his family.His perseverance moved the gods,
who finally cleared the mountains for him.
From this story,I learned that perseverance and
hard work can overcome even the biggest challenges.
It also teaches us not to give up easily when facing
difficulties.I hope you can read more Chinese stories
to learn more about Chinese culture.
