二、阅读理解。
① We can see circles, squares and triangles everywhere in our daily life. Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colours, different shapes can show different features of characters in the scenes.
② Circles represent soft and natural things. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes and babies' round faces. All the things make us feel happy and warm. So many cartoon characters' bodies—heroes, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness.
③ Squares show unnatural, man-made, boring or old-fashioned things. In Up, Carl has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell always wears round medals. The shapes show the characters' personalities. Carl is stubborn(执拗的) and lonely.
④ The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles. That's because
the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Look at the bad guys in cartoons—they are all drawn with plenty of points and triangles, like Shengongbao in Ne Zha. And triangles are stable(稳固的) and don't easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with.
