Paddington 2, the second Paddington film has had a successful weekend since it arrived in Chinese theaters on Friday.
Paddington Bear first appeared（登场） on 13 October 1958 in the children's book A Bear Called Paddington, and then kept on his stories in more than one hundred and fifty books by English writer Michael Bond and other artists. The friendly bear from Peru(秘鲁)—with his old hat, a coat in English style and love of orange jam—has become one of the most famous bears in Britain. Paddington books have been changed into 30 languages across 70 countries and sold more than 30 million copies(册,本) around the world.
Paddington is always polite – calling people "Mr", "Mrs" and "Miss", seldom by first names – and kind, though he often looks angrily at those who do bad things. He has an endless ability to get into trouble, but he also tries so hard to get things right. The (human) Brown family found him in Paddington Station, London, and then adopted him. They kindly provide him with food and shelter. Also, the Brown family gives his full name as "Paddington Brown".

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well,milk may work in the same way!
Milk is the natural food for mammalian(哺乳动物的)babies.It helps them grow strong because it is rich in protein(蛋白质),calcium(钙)and vitamins. Milk can also help you sleep better because it calms you down. But remember to drink milk with care. Find out how old the milk is. Make sure it is fresh and hasn’t gone bad.Don’t drink milk when your stomach is empty. Eat some bread or corn at the same time. That’ll help you take in more protein and vitamins.
Doctors say teens need at least 500ml of milk a day. That’s two or three cups. Milk—drinking started long ago, as early as 6000 一 8000 BC. At that time people started to keep cows, sheep and goats to get their milk. Of course what you drink today isn’t that fresh from the cows. People cool the fresh milk down to 4℃ to stop the bacteria(细菌)growing. In factories, milk is pasteurized(用巴氏杀菌法消毒)to stop it growing bad. After disinfection(消毒)and packaging, it goes to the supermarkets.
Yoghourt also comes from milk.People make some special bacteria to change the taste of milk and make the nutrients(营养物)in it easier for people to take in. Maybe that’s why it's getting more popular with people!
