If you love reading books，you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history，it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言).Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book，an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated
film(动画片).
The book tells the story of a pilot，called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film，the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl，whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book，speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions一in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei，who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society.
"The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince，and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质)goes away as flies，"he says.

Ladies and gentlemen, I returned to this year in a time machine. In the year 2500，we are able to travel through time to any year in the history of the earth. This year is your last chance to change your lifestyle to save the earth.
Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, a few people were worried about polluting the earth's water and air，but most people did not change their way of life. Instead, they continued to pour(倒)dangerous chemicals(化学物品)and other waste into lakes and seas，to drive more and more cars and trucks，and to cut down trees.
By the year 2200，the earth's water was completely polluted. People could no longer drink water, and they had to use other types of liquids(液体).Scientists said that in the future there might be too many people on the earth. But not enough was done.
So by the year 2300，there were so many people that food became scarce. There was no water to grow food and all of the fish in lakes and seas died because of pollution. Terrible wars broke out between the rich and the poor. Scientists were working very hard to find another planet in space where humans could live on.
