Do you and your classmates like Doraemon? Yes, it is a popular cat.

    But you know, he is not a real cat but a robot（机器人）. The cat is a famous cartoon character（卡通人物）from Japan. Doraemon is from the 22^nd century. I love Doraemon and I also love his 2,000 amazing gadgets（小玩意）!

    Doraemon has a bamboo-copter（竹蜻蜓）. Put it on your head, and you can fly in the air. With a copter like this, I don't need to go to school by bike any more. The bamboo-copter flies at 80 km per hour. It's fast.

    Here is the jelly translator（果冻翻译器）. Eat this jelly and then you can speak and understand any language in the world. You can also understand what animals say.

    Doraemon has a great door. It can take you to any place you want. First say the name of the place, and then pass through the door. You can get to that place in no time.

    Doraemon also has memory（记忆）bread. Take a piece of the bread. Stick（粘贴）it onto a page of a book. Eat it, and you can remember everything on the page quickly. But I don't like this kind of bread. Learning new things is fun, but eating it isn't, right?

    How I wish I could have some of these gadgets!

    There was a man    ①    had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns．

    The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall    ②    they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe    ③    they had seen. The first son said     ④    the tree was ugly. The second son said no-it was covered with green leaves and full of hope. The third son disagreed, he said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit on the tree,full of life and harvest.

    The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree's life. He told them, "You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature--the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured (测量)at the end, when all the seasons are up.＂

    If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the harvest of your fall.Don't let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

    Read the passage carefully and answer the questions according what you've read.

    The Book Thief was written by the Australian author Markus Zusak and it has been his most popular work. Published (出版) in 2005, it has become an international bestseller and been translated into several languages. In 2013, it was adapted into a film of the same name.

    Are you wondering who the“book thief”is? It was Liesel Meminger, a 12-year-old girl living in Germany during World War II. While the Nazis were creating horrors (恐怖) all around, Liesel came across something that she couldn't give up: books. She stole books that belonged to the mayor's (市长的) wife, as well as books that the Nazis wanted to destroy.

    A Jewish man named Max inspired Liesel's love for books. Liesel's family hides Max in their house. He developed a close relationship with Liesel and taught her to read in secret. Soon, Liesel realized the power of words. She not only stole books, but also wrote her own stories.

    “It is not the kind of story that has you crying one moment and laughing the next,” as The Guardian reported. Instead, the sadness of Liesel's story interests you. It makes you realize that such kinds of things have happened to many other people. And it makes you think a lot.
