During a recent class, Dutton used apples to brilliantly explain the effects of bullying.Rosie Dutton started out by showing the class two perfect-looking apples. But unknown to the students, she had dropped one of the apples repeatedly on the floor. She picked up the dropped apple and began insulting(侮辱;损害) it.“I started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, that I thought it was ugly and it was a horrible color," Dutton wrote."I told them that because l didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either.”They passed that apple around in a circle and the kids joined in on the insults. Then, Dutton took a completely different approach with the other apple.“We then passed another apple around and started to say kind words to it,”the 31-year-old wrote.She eventually cut both of them open to reveal that the apple that had been insulted was bruised (青肿的) inside. The apple that received praise wasn't.“When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling,” Dutton wrote in her post. “If we hadn't cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”“Unlike an apple, we have the ability to stop this from happening. We can teach childrenthat it's not OK to say unkind things to each other,” the 31-year-old explained in her post. She later added, “More and more hurt and damage happens inside if nobody does anything to stop the bullying. Let's create a generation of kind, caring children.”1.What didn't the students know in advance?A.She had dropped one apple repeatedly on the floor.B.She had dropped two apples repeatedly on the floor.C.The two apples were perfect-looking in appearance.D.She had picked the two apples from the same tree.2.How did Rosie Dutton teach students bad effects of bullying?A.By reading famous sayings.B.By listing the numbers.C.By making comparisons.D.By quoting some examples.3.At the end of the passage, Rosie Dutton calls on students to be ________.A.braveB.considerateC.activeD.honest4.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.One woman found an incredible way to teach a history lesson.B.People have the ability to stop bullying from happening again.C.A teacher encourages students to put what they learned to use.D.A teacher uses a bruised apple to show bad effects of bullying.Ⅲ.七选五专题The power of humor and laughter is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine.①_________.They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and keep a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. ②_________. In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4﹣6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30more times in a group of people. ③_________. However, it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.④_________. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor are they willing to socialize outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self﹣entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not progress much better due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field(制造业) with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world. ⑤_________.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.A. Laughter creates a friendly atmosphere in relationships between people.B. Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to.C. Humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually worn away.D. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑)from jokes you get on the Internet.E. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, prevent aging and promote a long life.F. From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them.G. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.Ⅳ.语法填空The dictionary seems pretty simple. Words ①_____(list) in order, and you simply turn to the right page and find the word you're looking for. But ②_____ (actual), there's something you might not know about the dictionary.We think of dictionaries as large heavy ③_____ (book) that include everything. But there were not any simple, common words in early English dictionaries. In the 16th and 17th centuries, thanks ④_____, the Renaissance's(文艺复兴的) influence, English doubled its vocabulary by ⑤_____ (borrow) words from other languages. Throughout the 17th century, many English men published lists of hard words and people turned to the dictionary ⑥_____ (learn) these words.Although Noah Webster wasn't ⑦_____ first American to produce a dictionary, his name wasclosely connected with the American dictionary. To fully research words, Webster learned 26 languages to write his dictionary, ⑧_____ is called The American Dictionary of the English Language. ⑨_____ (publish) in 1828, it had over 70,000 words. After Webster died in 1843, George and Charles Merriam ⑩_____ (buy) the rights to revise(修订) Webster's dictionary. Their efforts paid off in the fall of 1847 and the book sold well.Ⅴ.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

【有道考神版】【星火英语版】The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today对明天做好的准备就是今天做到最好范文：There is a famous saying that the best preparation for tomorrow is to do good work today. Simple as the saying is, it informs us that one doesn’t need to worry about the future if he can seize the moment.It is generally believed that taking immediate action is of great importance. Doing good work today enables people to achieve their great goals step by step. Assume a college student who is indulged in his wishful thinking of passing the CET-6 exam with a high score without any efforts and hardwork，and he will be devastated to accept the reality when he fails. The same thing may be said of some grown-ups who aspire to gain fame and fortune but never bother to put their splendid plans into practice immediately.Therefore, by some means or other we must take action to pursue our goals. It is necessary for us to aim high but our behaviors should also deserve our dreams. We are supposed to put our efforts into every single day and never look down upon those little tasks. Only in this way can we fulfill our dreams.Section AConversation OneQuestions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.

2020年7月份六级真题及参考答案
听力Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension (25 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear some questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneM: Tonight, we have a very special guest (1) Mrs. Anna Sanchez is a three time Olympic champion and author of the new book To the Edge Mrs. Sanchez, thank you for joining us.W: Thank you for having me. M: Let’s start with your book. What does the title To the Edge mean? What are you referring to?W: (2) The book is about how science and technology has helped push humans to the edge of their physical abilities. I argue that in the past 20 years, we have had the best athletes the world has ever seen.M: But is this a fair comparison? How do you know how, say, a football player from 50 years ago would compare to one today?W: Well, you are right. That comparison would be perhaps impossible to make. But the point is more about our knowledge today of human biochemistry, nutrition, and mechanics. (3) I believe that while our bodies have not changed in thousands of years. what has changed is the scientific knowledge. This has allowed athletes to push the limits of what was previously thought possible.M: That’s interesting. Please tell us more about these perceived limits.W: The world is seen sports records being broken that could only be broken with the aid of technology. Whether this be the speed of a tennis serve or the fastest time in a hundred meter dash or 200 meter swimming race.M: (4) Is there any concern that technology is giving some athletes an unfair advantage over others?W: That is an interesting question. And one that has to be considered very carefully. Skis, for example, went from being made of wood to a metal alloy which allows for better control andfaster speed. There is no stopping technological progress. But, as I said, each situation should be considered carefully on a case by case basis.Question 1: What do we learn about Anna Sanchez?Question 2: What is the woman’s book mainly about?Question 3: What has changed in the past thousands of years?Question 4: What is the man’s concern about the use of technology in sports competitions?Conversation TwoW: I’ve worked in international trade all my life. My fa ther did so to be for me. So 1 guess you could say it runs in the family.M:What products have you worked with?W:All sorts, really. I’ve imported textiles, machinery, toys, solar panels, all kinds of things over the years. Trends and demand come and go. (5) So one needs to be very flexible to succeed in this industry.M:I see what goods are you trading now?W:I now import furniture from China into Italy and foods from Italy into China.(6)I even use the same container.It’s a very efficient way of conduc ting trade.M:The same container. You mean you own a 40 foot cargo container?W:Yeah, that’s right. (7)I have a warehouse in Genoa over Italy and another in Shanghai. I source mid century modern furniture from different factories in China. It’s very good value for money. I collet it all in my warehouse and then dispatch it lo my other warehouse in Italy. Over there I do the same, but with Italian foods instead of furniture, things like pasta, cheese, wine, chocolates. And I send all that to my warehouse in China in the same freight container I use for the furniture.M:So I presume you sell both lines of products wholesale in each respective country.w:Of course. I possess a network of clients and partners in both countries. That’s the main benefit of hav ing done this for so long. I’ve made great business contacts over time.M:How many times do you ship?W: 1 did 12 shipments last year, 18 this year, and I hope to grow to around 25 next year. Thar’s both ways there and back again. Demand for authentic Italian food in China is growing rapidly. And similarly, sales of affordable, yet stylish wooden furniture are also increasing in Italy. (8)Furniture is marginally more profitable, mostly because it enjoys lower customs duties.Question 5: What docs the woman think is required to be successful in international trade?Question 6: What does the woman say is special about her way of doing trade?Question 7: What docs the woman have in both Italy and China?Question 8: What does the woman say makes furniture marginally more profitable?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some ques- tions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Passage OneToo many people view their jobs as as day prison, which they are paroled every Friday, says Joel Goodman, founder of the humor project, a humor consulting group in Saratoga springs, New York. (9) Humor unlocks the office prison because it lets adults bring. some of their childlike spirit to the job, according to Howard Pollio, professor of psychology at the university of Tennessee Knoxville. And office with humor breaks is an office with satisfied and productive employees.(10) Polio conducted a study that proved humor can help workers Excel at routine production tasks. Employees perform better when they have fun. In large corporations with a hierarchy of power, there is often no outlet for stress. Every company needs underground ways of poking fun at the organization, says Lynn and Mark, a speaker on workplace humor for saint Mary’s h ealth center in saint Louis.Kodak Rochester, New York branch, discovered a way for its 20000 employees to uncork their bottled up resentments. There 1000 square foot humor room features a toy store. Among the rooms, many stress reducing gadgets, the main attraction is a boss doll with detachable arms and legs. (11) Employees can take the doll apart as long a they put its arms and legs buck in place.Sandy Cohan, owner of a graphic print production business, created the quote board to document the bizarre phrases people say when under strict deadlines, when you’re on distress, you say stupid things, says Cohen. Now we just look at each other and say that’s one for thequote board.Questions9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 9. What docs the passage say about humor in the workplace?Question 10. What does the study by Howard Polio show?Question 11. What can codex employees do in the humor room?Passage Two(12)Public interest was aroused by the latest discovery of a changed gene in obese mice The news was made known by Rockefeller university geneticist Jeffrey Friedman. The researchers believe this gene influences development of a hormone that tells organism how fat or full it is (13)Those with he changed gene may not sense when they have eaten enough or if they have sufficient fatty tissue. and thus can’t tell when to stop eating.The researchers also reported finding a gene nearly identical to the mouse obesity gene in humans. The operation of this gene in humans has not yet been demonstrated, however.(14)Still professionals like university of Vermont psychologist Eyster Ross Bloom reacted enthusiastically. This research indicates that people really are born with a tendency to have a certain weight, just as they are to have a particular skin color or height. Actually, behavioral geneticists believe that less than half of the total weight variation is programmed in the genes, while height is almost entirely genetically determined. Whatever role genes play Americans are getting fatter.A survey by the center for disease control found that obesity has increased greatly over the last 10 years. (15)Such rapid change underlines the role of environmental factors like the abundance of rich foods in Americans overeating. The center for disease control has also found that teens are far less physically active than they were even a decade ago. Excepting that weight is predetermined, can relieve guilt for overweight people. But pe ople’s belief that they cannot control their weight can itself contribute t0 obesity.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 12. What does the speaker say has aroused public interest?Question 13. What do we learn about the changed gene?Question 14. What does university of Vermont psychologist Eyster Ross Bloom say?Question 15. What accounts for Americans obesity according to a survey by the center for disease ontrol?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear three recordings of lectures or talks followed by three or four ques- tions. The recordings will be played only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Recording OneQualities of a relationship such as openness, compassion and mental stimulation, or of concern to most of us regardless of sex. But judging from the questionnaire response, they are more important to women than to men. Asked to consider the ingredients of close friendship, women rated these qualities above all others. (16) Men assigned a lower priority to them in favor of similarity and interest, Selected by 77% of men and responsiveness in a crisis, chosen by 61% of male respondents, mental stimulation ranked 3rd in popularity by men as well as women was the only area of overlap. Among men, only 28% named openness as an important quality.Caring was picked by just 23%. (17) It is evident by their selections that when women speak of close friendships. they are referring to emotional factors. While men emphasized the pleasure they find in a friend’s company, that is, when a man speaks of a friend, he is likely to be talking about someone he does things with, a teammate, a fellow hobbyist, a drinking buddy. These activities are the fabric of the friendship. It is a doing relationships in which similarity in interests is the key bond. This factor was a consideration of less than 11% of women. Women opt for a warm emotional atmosphere where communication flows freely. Activity is mere background.Lastly, men, as we have seen, have serious questions about each other’s loyalty. Perhaps this is why they placed such strong emphasis on responsiveness in a crisis. Someone I can call on for help. Women, as their testimonies indicate, are generally more secure with each other and consequently are more likely to treat this issue lightly. In follow up interviews, this was confirmed numerous times. As woman after woman indicated that being there when needed was taken for granted. (18) As for the hazards of friendship. more than a few relationships have been shattered because of cutthroat competition and feelings of betrayal. This applies t both men and women, but unequally in comparison, nearly twice as many men complained about these issues as women. Further, while competition and betrayal are the main thorns to female friendship: men are plagued in almost equal amounts by two additional issues lack of frankness and a fear of appearing unmanly. Obviously, for a man, a good friendship is hard to find.Question 16: What quality do men value most concerning friendship according to a questionnaire esponse?Question 17: What do women refer to when speaking of close friendships?Question 18: What may threaten a friendship for both men and women?Recording Two(19) The partial skeletons of more than 20 dinosaurs and scattered bones of about 300 more have been discovered in Utah and Colorado at what is now the Dinosaur National Monument. Many of the best specimens may be seen today at museums of natural history in the larger cities of the United States, and Canada. This dinosaur pit is the largest and best preserved deposit of dinosaurs known today. (20) Many people get the idea from the mass of bones in the pit wall that some disaster, such as volcanic explosion or a sudden flood. killed a whole herd of dinosaurs in this area. This could have happened, but it probably did not.The main reasons for thinking otherwise, other scattered bones and the thickness of the deposit in other deposits where the animals were thought to have died together, the skeletons were usually complete and often all the bones were in their proper places. Rounded pieces of fossil bone have been found here. These fragments got their smooth, round shape by rolling along the stream bottom. In a mass killing, the bones would have been left on the stream or lake bottom together at the same level. But in this deposit, the bones occur throughout a zone of sandstone about 12 feet thick.The mixture of swamp dwellers and dry land types also seems to indicate that the deposit is a mixture from different places. The pit area is a large dinosaur graveyard-not a place where they died. (21) Most of the remains probably floated down eastward flowing river until they were left on a shallow sandbar. Some of them may have come from faraway dry land areas to the west. Perhaps they drowned trying to cross a small stream, all washed away during floods. Some of the swamp dwellers may have got stuck in the very sandbar that became their grave. Others may have floated for miles before being stranded.Even today, similar events take place: When floods come in the spring, sheep, cattle, and deer are often trapped by rising waters and often drown. Their dead bodies float downstream until the flood recedes, and leaves them stranded on a bar or shore where they lie, half buried in the sand until they decay, Early travelers on the Missouri River reported that shores and bars often lined with the decaying bodies of buffalo that had died during spring floods.Question 19: Where can many of the best dinosaur specimens be found in North America?Question 20: What occurs to many people when they see the massive bones in the pit wall?Question 21: What does the speaker suggest about the large number of dinosaur bones found in the pit?Recording ThreeI would like particularly to talk about the need to develop a new style of aging in our own society. (22)Young people in this country have been accused of not caring for their parents the way they would have in the old country. And this is true. (23) But i is also true that old people have been influenced by an American ideal of independence and autonomy. So we live alone, perhaps on the verge of starvation, in time without fiends. But we arc independent. This standard American style has been forced on every ethnic group. Although there are many groups for whom the ideal is not practical, it is a poor ideal and pursuing it docs a great deal of harm. This ideal of independence also contains a tremendous amount of unselfishness.In tal king to today ’s young mothers, I have asked them what kind of grandmothers they think they are going to be. I hear devoted loving mothers say that when they are through raising their children, they have no intention of becoming grandmothers. (24) They are astonished to hear that in most of the world. throughout most of its history, families have been three or four generation-families Jiving under. the same roof. We have over-emphasized the small family uni—father, mother, small children. We think it is wonderful if grandma and grandpa, if they’re still alive, can live alone. We have reached the point where we think the only thing we can do for our children is to stay out of their way. The only thing we can do for our daughter in law is to see as little of h er as possible. (25) Old people’s nursing homes. even the best one. are filled with older people who believe the only thing they can do for their children is to look cheerful when they come to visit So in the end. older people have to devote all their energies to not being a burden.We are beginning to see what a tremendous price we’ve paid for our emphasis on independence and autonomy. We’ve isolated old people and we’ve cut off the children from their grandparents. One of the reasons we have as bad a generation gap today as we do is that grandparents have stepped out. Young people are being deprived of the thing they need most: perspective to know why their parents behave so peculiarly and why their grandparents say the things they do.Question 22: What have young Americans been accused of?Question 23: What does the speaker say about old people in the United States?Question 24: What is astonishing to the young mothers interviewed by the speaker?Question 25: What does the speakers say older people try their best to do?参考答案：1-5：ADBCB6-10：DACAD11-15：BADCB16-20：ADCDB21-25：ACDBB选词填空参考答案:26.grabbed27.disaster28.stake29.overwhelming30.eroding31.deteriorating32. stagnation33. determined34. urgent35. capacity信息匹配参考答案：36- 40 CJBAK 41-45 EMHDL36.

On the other hand, we are supposed to attach due importance to the efficiency, which exerts a critical impact on personal growth and future career. As a result, improving the efficiency is what we cannot neglect.In a word, effective and efficient actions must be taken by every individual for the sake of achieving great dreams. If we can make progress little by little, the dream will come true in the near future.翻译【真题原文】《三国演义》写于14世纪，是中国著名的历史小说。
我最喜欢的动画片熊出没初中满分英语作文
我最喜欢的动画片熊出没初中满分英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite Cartoon: The Boonie BearsIf you ask me what my favorite cartoon is, I'll tell you without hesitation - it's the Boonie Bears! This hilarious Chinese animated series about two mischievous bear brothers has kept me thoroughly entertained since I was a little kid. Even though I'm in middle school now, I still find the Boonie Bears just as funny and enjoyable as ever.For those who haven't seen it, the Boonie Bears follows the zany adventures of Briar and Bramble, two bear siblings who live in a forest reserve called the Farthing Wood Nature Reserve. Despite being part of the reserve's "security" team tasked with protecting the woods, Briar and Bramble constantly find themselves getting into all kinds of crazy situations and mishaps.What really makes the show special is the distinct personalities of the two lead characters. Briar is the older, more rational brother who tries his best to be responsible, but often gets exasperated by his younger sibling's antics. Bramble, on theother hand, is the archetypal mischievous little bro - playful, impulsive, and always up for fun and games even if it means causing chaos. The contrasting dynamic between the two bears is pure comedic gold.One of my all-time favorite episodes is "The Aliens E.T.", where Bramble finds a mushroom and becomes convinced it's an alien lifeform. He and Briar then spend the entire episode treating the "alien" (which is just a mushroom) like an honored guest, going as far as to build it a makeshift rocket ship to send it home. Bramble's overactive imagination and Briar's escalating frustrations never fail to crack me up.Another classic is "Kung FurBall Fighters", which parodies martial arts movies in the most ridiculous yet entertaining way possible. Bramble somehow gets the idea that he's a kung fu master stuck in the body of a bear, and starts challenging everyone from bunnies to lumberjacks to kung fu battles. The sheer absurdity and Bramble's unshakeable confidence in his "martial arts skills" make for non-stop laughs.But the Boonie Bears isn't just about humor - it also has a lot of heart. The forest setting is rendered in rich, vibrant animation that really makes you appreciate nature. And at its core, the show promotes positive values like environmentalism, friendship, andperseverance in the face of adversity. Whenever the bears face a challenge, they always stick together through thick and thin.I think one of the main reasons I love the Boonie Bears so much is because it appeals to both kids and adults. As a child, I was drawn in by the silly antics and exaggerated slapstick. But now as a pre-teen, I can appreciate the more sophisticated humor and social commentary layered into each episode. It's a show that you can grow up watching and still find endlessly entertaining.The characters are also incredibly lovable and infinitely memeable. Bramble's catchphrase "I want that thing!" has become a ubiquitous internet meme, used to express wanting anything from video games to snacks. Anytime I see that meme pop up, I can't help but laugh because I immediately picture Bramble pointing emphatically. The bears themselves have become such icons in Chinese pop culture, appearing on everything from t-shirts to lunchboxes.Overall, the Boonie Bears holds a very special place in my heart. It's one of those shows that has the ability to brighten your day no matter how old you are or what kind of mood you're in. The second I hear that iconic theme song, I'm filled with a warm,fuzzy sense of nostalgia and happiness. Briar and Bramble feel like old friends that I've followed the wacky exploits of for years.While I may be getting older, I know I'll never outgrow my love for the Boonie Bears. It's a timeless animated classic that captures the joys of childhood - the boundless imagination, the laughter, the sense of adventure. Watching the bears' rambunctious antics takes me back to that wonderful feeling of being a carefree kid again, if only for a little while. No matter what's going on in life, I can always count on the Boonie Bears to put a smile on my face. Here's to many more laughs with Briar, Bramble, and the whole Farthing Wood gang!篇2My Favorite Cartoon: Boonie BearsBoonie Bears is hands down my all-time favorite cartoon! This hilarious animated series from China follows the silly adventures of two bear brothers, Briar and Bramble. I've been watching Boonie Bears since I was a little kid, and even now as a middle schooler, I still find it just as entertaining and funny as ever.What makes Boonie Bears so great is the dynamic between the two lead characters. Briar is the logical, cautious brother whotries his best to avoid trouble. Bramble, on the other hand, is the total opposite - a wild, fun-loving daredevil who seems to attract chaos wherever he goes. Their totally opposite personalities lead to all kinds of madcap situations and misadventures.One of my favorite episodes is when the bears discover an old trunk in the forest filled with random objects like a magical hat, disappearing ink, and X-ray sunglasses. Bramble, being Bramble, can't resist goofing around and using the weird items, which of course leads to total mayhem! Briar spends the whole episode frantically trying to clean up Bramble's messes and prevent any more chaos. It's pure slapstick humor at its finest.Another hilarious episode has the bears entering a big woods race to compete for a basket of delicious berries. But of course, Bramble can't help but cheat and make ridiculousover-the-top attempts to win, like building wacky race car contraptions or trying crazy shortcuts through the woods. Briar is always right behind him panicking and telling him to play by the rules. In the end, their hijinks inevitably cause them to lose the race in a spectacular failure. But they take it all in good humor and laugh about it. To me, that captures the show's spirit perfectly - two brothers who bicker and get into trouble, but always make up and remain best friends.While the stories and humor are amazing, I also love the animation style and character designs. The forest setting is rendered in a warm, naturalistic style with rich colors and details. And the bears themselves are just so cute and expressive! Briar is this crafty little guy with big eyes and a permanent look of concern on his face. In contrast, Bramble is shown as a bigger, rounder bear with a goofy grin and this glint of mischief in his eyes. Their opposing personalities really come through in their designs alone.The show also has so many other great side characters that add to the fun. There's the constantly annoyed Logger Vick who's always yelling at the bears for wrecking his work camp. There's the easygoing Logger Lertz who finds the bears more amusing than a nuisance. My favorite side characters are probably the quirky forest critters like Soten the crazy inventor woodpecker or Zaza the fast-talking con artist fox. Their appearances always liven things up and make the stories even more unpredictable.Beyond just being wildly entertaining, I think Boonie Bears also has a good underlying message about family, friendship, and perseverance. No matter how much trouble Bramble causes, Briar never gives up on him. And no matter how much theybicker, they always have each other's backs in the end. The show teaches that true friends stick by you, even when you're being knuckleheads. It also shows the importance of laughing at yourself and keeping a positive attitude when things go wrong.I've watched pretty much every Boonie Bears episode multiple times, but they never get old to me. The slapstick gags, silly characters, and heartwarming messages always put a big smile on my face. Whenever I'm feeling down, I'll just throw on a few episodes and it instantly lifts my mood. That's why Boonie Bears will always be my #1 favorite cartoon. It's the kind of show that brings out the inner child in me and just makes me laugh until it hurts. I know I'll still be watching and loving this classic for many years to come!篇3My Favorite Cartoon: The Boonie BearsCartoons have always been an integral part of my childhood, and among the myriad of animated shows, one stands out as my ultimate favorite – the hilarious and endearing "Boonie Bears." This delightful series follows the misadventures of two mischievous bear brothers, Briar and Bramble, who constantlyfind themselves entangled in comical situations, much to the chagrin of their forest neighbors.What initially drew me to this show was its vibrant and colorful animation style. The lush, green landscapes and the meticulously crafted character designs immediately captured my imagination. Each character exuded a unique personality, from the resourceful and quick-witted Briar to the lovable yetdim-witted Bramble. Their contrasting personalities created a dynamic that never failed to entertain me.However, the true magic of "Boonie Bears" lies in its ability to seamlessly blend humor with valuable life lessons. The writers masterfully weave humorous situations that not only make me laugh until my sides hurt but also impart profound wisdom. Whether it's learning about the importance of teamwork, perseverance, or simply appreciating the beauty of nature, each episode leaves an indelible mark on my young mind.One of my favorite episodes is the one where Briar and Bramble accidentally stumble upon a secret forest society governed by a strict code of conduct. Their attempts to navigate this unfamiliar world while avoiding detection from the diligent forest rangers provide a constant source of hilarity. Yet, beneaththe laughter, the episode subtly teaches the value of respecting rules and embracing diversity.Another aspect that makes "Boonie Bears" truly special is the way it celebrates the bond of brotherhood. Briar and Bramble, despite their frequent squabbles, always have each other's backs. Their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love remind me of the precious relationship I share with my own siblings. It's a heartwarming reminder of the importance of family and the unbreakable ties that bind us together.Beyond the entertaining storylines and relatable characters, "Boonie Bears" also excels in its educational value. The show often incorporates real-life scenarios and scientific concepts, making learning fun and accessible for young viewers like myself. From exploring the wonders of nature to understanding basic physics principles, the show seamlessly blends entertainment with education, ensuring that I'm not just entertained but also enriched with valuable knowledge.As I navigate the turbulent years of middle school, "Boonie Bears" remains a constant source of comfort and joy. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or stressed, I can always count on Briar and Bramble's antics to lift my spirits and transport me to a world of pure imagination. Their unwavering optimism and resilience inthe face of adversity serve as a powerful reminder that life's challenges can be overcome with a positive attitude and a willingness to laugh.In conclusion, "Boonie Bears" is more than just a cartoon; it's a cherished companion that has accompanied me through countless moments of laughter, learning, and personal growth. Its timeless charm and universal appeal transcend age and cultural boundaries, making it a true gem in the world of animation. As I continue to grow and face new challenges, I know that the valuable lessons and heartwarming memories from this beloved series will forever remain etched in my heart.篇4My Favorite Cartoon: The Boonie BearsThe Boonie Bears is hands down my favorite cartoon of all time! This hilarious series follows the adventures of two mischievous bear brothers, Briar and Bramble, as they get into all sorts of crazy situations in the forest. What I love most about The Boonie Bears is how funny and heartwarming it is. It always puts a huge smile on my face whenever I watch it.The two main characters, Briar and Bramble, are just the best. Even though they constantly bicker and play pranks on eachother, you can tell they really care about one another deep down. Briar is the older, more responsible brother who tries to keep Bramble out of trouble, but he usually ends up getting dragged into Bramble's shenanigans anyway. Meanwhile, Bramble is the younger, more impulsive and troublemaking brother. He's always hatching some crazy scheme, whether it's trying to steal honey from the bees or prank the forest ranger. But no matter what crazy situation they get themselves into, the brothers always work together in the end to get out of it.Their dynamic reminds me a lot of how my own brother and I interact. We're always driving each other nuts, but we're also the best of friends and have each other's backs when it counts. Seeing Briar and Bramble's loyalty to one another despite their differences is what makes their relationship so special.Every character in the show is just so distinct and memorable, from their wacky personalities down to their signature catchphrases. I find myself unintentionally quoting the show all the time, like yelling "Oh nut bunnies!" whenever something goes wrong or dramatically whispering "The bears...the bears!" when I'm feeling mischievous. The characters and quotes from the show have really become a part of my everyday vocabulary.Beyond just the great characters, one of the things I admire most about The Boonie Bears is its top-notch animation and artwork. The lush, vibrant forests the bears live in look like something ripped straight out of a nature documentary. And the character designs for the bears and their forest friends are so expressive and full of personality. From the tiniest twitch of their fuzzy ears to the way their whole bodies contort with each emotion, every movement is brimming with life and energy. It's animation at its finest.But what really makes the show stand out is its heartwarming messages about family, friendship, and environmental protection. For all the bears' crazy antics, at its core the show teaches the importance of sticking by your loved ones and working together. It also doesn't shy away from tackling real-world issues like deforestation, pollution, and habitat loss in a way that kids can understand. The bears are constantly having to deal with logging companies cutting down their forest home or Mean Human Beings littering and destroying nature. In the end though, the bears' determination to protect their home and the forest creatures always wins out over Mean Human greed and carelessness.I've lost count of how many times I've seen certain episodes, but the jokes and gags never get old for me. Watching Bramble bungee jump into a beehive using his underwear as a rope or seeing Briar and Bramble disguise themselves as garden gnomes to sneak into a human suburb will never not make me laugh. The sheer slapstick creativity and comedic genius in the show is unmatched.But what really keeps me coming back to The Boonie Bears again and again are the lessons it teaches about love, laughter, and looking out for the environment. No matter how many times I watch Briar and Bramble's Latest adventuren I always leave feeling that little bit wiser, happier, and more appreciative of the natural world around me. It's a show that just brings pure joy to my life.So if you've never experienced the madcap, honey-loving escapades of Briar and Bramble, do yourself a favor and check out The Boonie Bears immediately! Whether you're a kid or just a kid at heart, this show is guaranteed to make you fall in love with these mischievous bear brothers as much as I have. The forest and all its furry inhabitants await!篇5My Favorite Cartoon "Boonie Bears"Hi there! I'm a middle school student and I absolutely love the cartoon "Boonie Bears"!
