Dick Bruna, the beloved author best known as the creator of Miffy, the popular
little rabbit, has died aged 89. The Dutch illustrator(插图画家）and writer died on
Thursday 16 February, his publisher Mercis said in a statement,and leaves behind
more than 120 books which sold over 85 million copies.
Bruna was born into a family of publishers in Utrecht. According to The
Guardian, he created more than 100 posters and around 2, 000 book jackets for his
family' s company. His first Miffy books, which were inspired by a story he told his
own son, were published in 1955 with Miffy going under the name Nijintje. The
character would go on to become a “merchandising juggernaut（衍生品神
话）”，one that featured children's toys, clothes and other merchandise sold around
the world.
“He was very much loved around the world. I remember travelling with him to
Australia, to New Zealand, to Japan. Wherever he would go people would queue up
for signing sessions(签售会）of his books,”Mercis spokesperson Marja Kerkhof said.
“They are very clear pictures, and he leaves so much out. He goes to the essence(本
质） of things, and then of course there are his very strong, powerful primary
colours. Even today if you see them in a store,you would think: 'Hey,this looks
different to a lot of other things out there. ' There is no clutter (混乱）；it's all very
clear. ”
Bruna was loved most of all in his birthplace, Utrecht where, as one fan pointed
out, there is even a traffic light shaped like Miffy in Bruna' s honour. A museum in
Utrecht posted the news of his death with a picture of Bruna's beloved character: arms
behind her back, and a single tear below her left eye.
24. What was Bruna world famous for?
A. Creating the cartoon rabbit Miffy. B. Coming from a publishing family.
C. Showing undying love for children. D. Illustrating around 2, 000 books.
25. From where did Bruna get the idea for his first Miffy books?
A. His son. B. A story.
C. His family's company. D. A children' s toy.
26. What do Marja Kerkhof' s words suggest?
A. Bruna was good at scenery drawings.
B. Bruna' s illustrations were successful.
C. Bruna enjoyed travelling around the world.
D. Bruna' s thoughts were different from others.
27. Where does this text probably come from?

When you think of Tokyo as a place to .go on holiday, your mind will most
likely turn to electronics, shopping and delicious food. However,one of the more
unusual tourist spots in this city of 9. 2 million is the Tsukiji Fish Market,which has
been selling fish for over 400 years right in the centre of this busy city.
This is no ordinary market. It opens at 3.00 am when fish and other sea life
caught from the oceans, seas and rivers from all over the world are delivered to 900
fish dealers. Over 400 different types of seafood are available from cheap seaweed to
the world's most expensive caviar. It is most famous though for the striking tuna
auctions(金枪鱼拍卖）that take place between5. 20 am and 10. 00 am.
Over 2, 000 tons of marine produce are sold every day. This amounts to over
US$5. 9 billion of business per year.
The fish market is divided into two different places. The inner market is where
most of the wholesale business is done. Only registered(注册的）traders are allowed
there,and that's where the famous tuna auctions take place. In the outer market,
retail(零售的）shops and restaurants are open to the general public. There you can
taste some of the freshest sashimi in the world-as long as you like uncooked fish for
breakfast.Given that the market operates from such an early hour and most of its
business is completed by mid-morning, it is surprising to find that the fish market has
become a highly popular tourist attraction. Because it is so busy, accidents have
happened in the past, so the number of tourists is restricted each day. But once inside,
they are able to see some of the most expensive frozen tuna and swordfish being
examined by the experts and then cut up with large saws(锯子）.
28. What is the Tsukiji Fish Market best known for?
A. Its fair prices. B. Its tuna auctions.
C. Its striking trading amounts. D. Its different types of seafood.
29. In what way is the inner market different from the outer one?
A. The quality of fish. B. Their different sizes.
C. The number of fish traders. D. The different means of selling goods.
30. What does the author think of the market' s great popularity among tourists?
A. Unexpected. B. Reasonable. C. Exciting. D. Laughable.
31. What does the underlined word “restricted" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Equal. B. Changeable. C. Limited. D. Certain.

A librarian, Jennifer Williams's mother read to her three children every day. “Not
until we went to kindergarten(幼儿园),”Williams said.”Until we went to college.”
When Williams, now 54. become a primary school teacher in Danville,Virginia,
she wanted her students to fall in love with reading just as she had. But she realized
that some kids had limited access(使用的机会) to books.
“It's very obvious to teachers of young children which kids are read to versus
