Disney movies are fun. But have you ever thought that each movie offers great life lessons about things like patience, willpower, kindness and tolerance?
To prove it , we have listed great quotes(引语) for kids from famous Disney characters:
It’s good to laugh at yourself when you make a mistake, which can help you feel more relieved. Next time you make a mistake, don’t worry, just do what Mickey Mouse does: “To laugh at yourself is to love yourself”.
---Mickey Mouse
Everyone experiences adversity, the trouble you might face in your life. Never allow yourself to become upset by adversity. It is a time for growth, and shaping who you are. “The flower blooming in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.”
---The Emperor, Mulan
The phrase, “Walk in someone else’s shoes,” ---Pocahontas, means trying to see things from someone else’s point of view, feeling how they feel, and understanding the struggles they face. This is what is known as empathy(同情)and having more of it would reduce things like bullying(欺凌), war and prejudice. Then the world would be a better place.
Have you noticed people put value on things because of their look? Sometimes,
we might ignore a book because we dislike the cover, or not buy a toy because we don’t like the box it comes in. though the inside might be something amazing, we pass it by because the outside wasn’t what we were looking for. Often we judge people this way too. This is unfortunate because we could be missing out on a great friendship. Here’s what the movie Aladdin says about this: “Do not be fooled by its common appearance. Actually, it is the inside that counts.”

According to French philosopher(哲学家) Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), friendships are essential to humans. He believed that they spread warmth to everyone.
This is certainly true of the lifelong friendship between the two women
featured(作为主角) in a four-novel series by Italian writer Elena Ferrante.
The third book of the series, Those Who Leave And Those Who Stay (2014), has been translated into Chinese and was published last month.
The series is set in the Italian city of Naples after World War Ⅱ. The story of Lila and Elena begins with a flashback (倒叙) to the early 1950s. when the pair meet at 8 years old, they immediately strike up a strong friendship.
But “friendship” may not be a good enough word to describe the bond that links Lila and Elena. They are like the same person split(分开) in two.
But the fact that they’re close doesn’t mean that they’re not different. Lila is brilliant from the start. As the four books follow her life from childhood into adolescence, and eventually into middle age, readers see her grow into a beautiful woman who no matter how hard she tries, she will never be as good as her brilliant friend Lila.
It’s this mixture of fear, love,and, above all, envy—that sums up their friendship.
Indeed, for Rachel Donadio of The New York Times, the series is a brillant study into the emotion of envy. The novels are filled with envy, but envy,when understood properly, can show us what we really want.
“It is this swing between lightness and darkness that gives their friendship a depth too clear to seem imagined,” commented The Atlantic.
25. The author wrote the article mainly to .
A. recommend the works of the Italian writer Elena Ferrante B. explain why friendships are important to humans
C. describe a four-novel series based on the friendship of two girls D. discuss why Elena Ferrante’s works are popular

A. They don’t expect to become friends when they first meet. B. Their friendship is based mainly on shared interests. C. Their friendship greatly deepens during World War Ⅱ.
