This idea lies at the heart of Dear You(《给阿嬷的情书》)，a heartwarming film that has become popular recently.Filmed almost entirely in the Chaoshan dialect(), this moving drama has touched the hearts of millions,especially young viewers. The story is about a family discovery.A grandson travels to Thailand to find out why his grandfather left China decades ago and never returned.There,he uncovers a touching secret:a Thai-Chinese woman had been secretly writing letters and sending money to his grandmother in his grandfather's name for 18 years to keep a promise Through this personal journey,the film shows the rich cultural importance of Qiaopi. Qiaopi,also known as "silver letters,"is far more than a letter with money sent by overseas Chinese to their families back home.It is a special cultural carrier that shows the spirit of Chaoshan ancestors(),who were brave,hard-working and sincere().During the 19th and 20th centuries,many Chaoshan people traveled to Southeast Asia for a better life.In an age without convenient communication,these letters became their only"lifeline"to their hometown and families. The film has received high praise for its true social background.It beautifully shows Chaoshan traditions,such as Gongfu tea and the colorful Yingge Dance. However,what really makes audiences cry is the strength of the women in the story. They showed deep-rooted loyalty()and love that could cross nceans. Today,many young people live a fast-paced life and often communicate through instant messages.This movie encourages them to slow down and listen to the stories of older generations.As one viewer said,"It reminds us that behind every elderly person,there was once a story of youth,passion,and deep love." 英语试卷第2页（共8页） 5.Why did the Thai-Chinese woman secretly write letters to the grandmother?

C When I was a little girl,I always looked up to my mom.She is a doctor and spends most of her time helping sick people.Every night,she comes home late but still smiles and asks me about my day.At that time,I thought growing up was easy-I just needed to get taller and older,and then I could be as great as my mom.

You've grown up",I felt a warm feeling in my heart. From then on,I tried to do more things for my family.I cleaned my room by myself,helped my dad wash the dishes,and even took care of my little brother when my parents were out.I also worked harder at school,because I knew growing up means being responsible.I no longer ask my parents to do everything for me.Instead,I try to solve problems on my own.

D A new study suggests that horses can smell human fear.Researchers believe that when people are scared,horses may sense it through their body smell.This finding could be important to riders,trainers,and anyone else who works closely with horses. In the study,scientists collected sweat()from volunteers who had just watched either a scary movie or a happy film.They then placed cotton pads containing these sweat samples()near the horses'noses.The results showed clear differences in how the horses reacted.When exposed to(暴露于)the“fear sweat”,the horses were more easily startled,had faster heart rates,and were less likely to get close to their handlers()compared to when they smelt sweat from people who had watched joyful scenes. The researchers explain that this may mean fear can spread between humans and horses.Just as humans can sense each other's emotions()horses might pick up on human fear through smell,which acts as a warning signal.One researcher noted, "Unconsciously,we can pass our emotions to animals,and this can strongly affect how they feel in return.” Smell is a very basic and powerful sense used for communication.While most research looks at how animals of the same species communicate through smell-like 英语试卷第4页（共8页） finding a mate,this study shows that scent()signals can also cross species lines. Horses,it seems,can notice emotional changes in humans through body smell. The researchers advise that people who work with horses should be aware of their own emotions.Arriving in a relaxed and positive mood can lead to better interactions()with the horse.If a person is afraid,the horse may also become fearful and react more strongly in a new or uncertain situation.This study just highlights how closely connected humans and animals can be. 13.How does the writer start the text? A.By telling a story about a horse. B.By asking a question about animals. C.By describing a scientific experiment.D.By introducing a new research finding. 14.What does the underlined word "startled"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Calm and quiet. B.Tired and sleepy.
