One day，Howler decided to steal the fruit and started jumping up and down the tree.Martin looked out of the window and realized that the wolf was trying to steal fruit from his beautiful trees.Howler jumped and jumped，but he couldn't reach even the lowest branches of such a big tree.Seeing this，Martin had a great idea：he gave Howler a ladder （梯子） to climb up，but in return the wolf would have to give him half of the fruit.Howler accepted the deal （协议） and began to collect the fruit.For the whole morning，he went up and down the ladder filling his basket with the fruit.

4．The Disney film Mulan finally came into the cinemas on September 11th，2020 in China.Because of the COVID-19 pandemic，people couldn't go to the cinema to watch movies for a long time.But now when the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be under control in China，the film business begins to wake up.
The film Mulan is an adaptation （改编） of Disney's 1998 classic animated film （动画片） of the same name.The 2020 film Mulan，directed by New Zealand director Niki Caro，has many famous Chinese actors including stars such as Liu Yifei and Gong Li，as well as Donnie Yen，Jet Li，Yoson An and Tzi Ma.
According to the Chinese folk song Ballad of Mulan，Mulan lived during the Northern Wei Dynasty （386-534），which is more than 1，400 years ago.She was a young woman but she disguised （伪装） herself as a man to serve in the army in place of her old father and fight for her country.
The film appeared to be made especially for Chinese people with "a Chinese heroine fighting for her country".Why did this happen？China has become the world's second-biggest movie market in recent years.The film places much greater emphasis （强调） on traditional Chinese values，like duty to family.It also invites Chinese stars Liu Yifei to act as Mulan，and Gong Li as a powerful and dangerous witch in order to show the theme of female strength.
Although Mulan is thought to be a great film in the eyes of most Americans and Europeans，many Chinese people don't feel the same way.Chinese audiences think the film is too westernized （西方化的）.It lacks the understanding of real Chinese culture and almost all the Chinese actors speak English in a Chinese story，which is weird and inauthentic （不真实的）.

A．Because people don't like the film.
B．Because of the COVID- 19 pandemic.

D．Because all the actors speak English.

A．Liu Yifei.
B．Gong Li.
C．Donnie Yen.
D．Niki Caro.

C．价值观.
D．宝藏.
