A mother is devastated, crying, yelling all she can in that dark corner. There was nobody tohear her yell and not a soul to calm her, because outside her house is a long winding lonely road.The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle, silence filling the air. Loneliness was alreadykilling her，but no one knows what made her cry.

Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really the pain you can ever overcome.Radha lost her baby, her only means to live. She saw her child getting killed and the accidentwas terrible. One lonely night, she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air withher child hugged tight in her arms.

The whole time she walked with her child in her arms. The only thing that worried her wasAryan's future. She was imagining and feeling every day of the child’s growth, and figuringwhat she would have in store for him. But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow? Life canchange in a second.

On that deserted road, were a few streetlights barely enough? It was this one light that couldbe seen from a distance, but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter. That light changedRadha's life into darkness forever. A speeding car came down that road. The driver came at aspeed of 110 kmph throwing beer bottles out of his half open window. He was definitely drunk,and the speed took everything in its path. Just then, there was a loud cry, and silence set in again.

But the mother wasn’t hurt. She opened her eyes, unable to focus her eyes, and didn’t seeAryan. After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby,but alas! ... The child hadn’t even seen life.

Simply, don't drink and drive. You could take a life, but kill a number of people.

Hayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻動畫), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced his retirement on September 6, after the recent release of his new film The Wind Rises.

Miyazaki’s vision(視野) has remained unique throughout his many films over the past thirty years. The worlds he creates—the valley of the wind, the castle in the sky, and so many—are so special, so attractive. Here are some key words about his films.

Good and evil (邪惡) Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he creates tend to be complex (復(fù)雜的) and unclear. The bad figures often don’t seem so bad once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good and evil is because he sees the 21st century as complex time, in which old ideas need to be re-examined, even in children’s films.

Children The heroes in Miyazaki’s films are usually children or teens, more often young girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.

Sky and water Two of Miyazaki’s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related ways. Flight is a forever theme—Miyazaki has never done a film without flying of some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束縛) from setting him free. Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes the unexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.

Peace Miyazaki’s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki’s heroes are often peacemakers.

1. What can we know about good and evil from Miyazaki’s films?

A. The complex time tends to turn good into evil.

B. He uses his films to show good finally defeats evil.

C. The figures cannot be simply judged as good or evil.

D. Children should learn to clearly tell good from evil.

2.Miyazaki’s love for flight may come from ______.

A. the relation between sky and water

B. his hate for gravity since his childhood

C. his desire to be free from gravity

D. his love for water that can flood the world

3.In Miyazaki’s films we may NOT see ______.

A. the attractive castle in the sky

B. a world left in ruins in the end

C. objects magically floating on the water

D. children with the problems of growing up

4.The purpose of writing the article is to ______.

A. show the writer’s sadness for Miyazaki’s retirement from the animation industry

B. help readers to know about Miyazaki’s life and his great achievements

C. praise Miyazaki’s contribution to the development of the film industry

D. introduce Miyazaki’s retirement and the features (特點) of his animation films
