Attraction of the Minions

When it comes to film, people usually favor good over evil, focus on the hero and ignore the supporting characters. _1. __

Originally comedic background characters in the film Despicable Me（卑鄙的我）, these yellow pill-shaped nuts, have totally stolen the show and turned into a popular figure. This summer the characters debuted（首演） in their own self-titled movie in theaters abroad, having the second biggest opening weekend of all time for a cartoon film according to USA Today.

Recently, McDonald’s has been including Minion toys with kids’ meals in some areas, causing loyal fans to flock to the restaurant to collect them all. __2.__ The movie’s huge popularity even surprised its writers. “We never knew the Minions were going to be so popular. It just became a force of nature,” the film’s co-writer Cinco Paul told the Los Angeles Times.

_3. __For many, the appeal is obviously their cuteness. Their simple nature can easily surpass cultures and age groups. Even children can draw them. Thousands of examples of fan-made Minion art from fingernails to Halloween clothes are visible on global social media platforms.

But there’s more to the phenomenon than just cuteness. US entertainment website Hit Fix explains that their way of communicating makes the creatures influential as well. __4. __ But it seems everyone can understand them through their exaggerated（夸張的） movements and expressions. More importantly, their childlike mannerisms is a brand of humor that wins hearts. “Clumsy, foolish Minions are recognized as the ultimate β personalities,” wrote Peter Debruge of US entertainment magazine Variety. They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master. __5.__ "Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves," Huffington Post associate Web editor Sara Boboltz wrote, "or an evil version of ourselves."

A. So what makes the banana-loving Minions a big hit?

B. Besides, their childlike manner entertains fans more.

C. And this evil characteristic arouses sympathy among humans.

D. Related video games, toys and other goods are sweeping the world.

E. Minions is a 2015 American 3D computer-animated family comedy film.

F. But when it comes to the Minions, these conventions go right out the window.

G. The largely speak in nonsense words with the occasional recognizable terms like “potato”.

A couple of days ago, as the test results came out, my son and a group of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald's. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A's, and Laurie got a cell-phone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPad, and she's only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $10 for each A.”

I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell-phone, and the DVD player?

I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle disappear before my eyes — no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!

I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal achieved by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns? What about the orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I'd be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.

“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that's about it.”

Don't you just hate that? We're all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation. And what about the primary grades? What do these students get? “When the teacher asked if anyone got rewards for good grades, everyone in my class raised their hands and said they got ice cream cones ,” said one third-grader.

1.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Tips on Paying Kids for Good Grades

B. New changes in Paying Kids for Good Grades

C. Good Grades Mean Good Rewards

D. Don't Pay Kids for Good Grades

2.What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. Taking care of my children would influence my work.

B. I would spend less money on my children's good grades.

C. More rewards would be needed as my children grow up.

D. Reducing my children's homework load would cost me a lot.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. if you buy children pizza as a reward, they will work harder

B. if you pay kids for good grades, they will take it for granted

C. children will not ask for rewards when they enter high school

D. good grades won't help kids make great progress in the future

4.The author takes her neighbor as an example to show _______.

A. pizza is the best way to motivate children

B. it is necessary to reward children for their good grades

C. getting rewards for good grades is common nowadays

D. rewards are not the only way to encourage children
