An interesting film has gathered huge attention on China’s social media platforms, which is treated as “the best commercial video of 2019”. The 5-minute video is “Who is Peppa?” and it tells a touching story that highlights（突出）Chinese families.

In the beginning, a senior man named Li Yubao living in a mountainous rural village asked his grandson on the phone what gifts he wanted for the Spring Festival, but Li only heard the word “Peppa” because of the poor mobile signal. Therefore, the man went on an interesting journey to discover who Peppa is.

With the help of his neighbors, the senior got closer to the answer. So he managed to create a Peppa model using metals and his own imagination, which surprised his grandson greatly. The heartwarming model left the whole family in great surprise. At the end of the story, the man found out Peppa was a cartoon figure and enjoyed the film with the whole family during the holiday season.

Many people comments that the film had brought them to tears. As the Spring Festival is around the corner, the short video encourages people working outside to come back home and stay with family members to spend a happy and warm Spring Festival holiday. Though it is a short video, I have to say it really touches the bottom of my heart, as family bonds play an important role in Chinese people’s daily lives. With the Lunar New Year holidays near, there is special importance on getting together with all family members and being together with loved ones. After all, family bonds are the most meaningful thing in Chinese people’s hearts.

A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.

In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon（象征）. Yellow became the color of the school buses in the US in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.

There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers（追蹤器）on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether(是否)their kids on the bus.

Going to Kindergarten（幼兒園）is a difficult time for some kids. It’s the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them——and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!

School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus.

1.According to（根據(jù)）Dr. Frank’s idea, ________school buses are safer for students.

A.black B.colorful C.white D.yellow

2.Children in Japan may easily________by taking the school bus.

A.save time B.love their school C.do their homework D.play games

3.There are_________school buses in Britain.

A.no B.a lot of C.not many D.many

4.Chinese students will save a lot of time if they________to school.

A.take a school bus B.take a bus C.ride a bike D.walk

5.This passage（文章）is mainly about________.

A.school life B.popular colors C.students’ safety D.school buses
