all night to get it done.

they often leave us feeling stressed and tired.

】 Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
If Mickey Mouse is a westerner who has captured the world, Hello Kitty is the world’s sweetheart from Asia. With its two innocent black eyes and the cute ribbon (色带) on its ear, this white-faced kitten (小猫) has captivated (迷住) the hearts of women of all ages since 1974.
Hello Kitty can be found on more than 50 thousand different items such as toys, school supplies, make-ups and even neckties.
To celebrate the character’s 40th birthday, an exhibition called “Inside Kitty” is underway at the Seongnam Arts Center in Yatab-dong.
Young women from all over the world love with the character. “People didn’t show interest in Kitty at first, even in Japan. Only since 1985, 11 years after it was born, has it started to gain its popularity,” Yuko Yamaguchi, one of the designers of the character, told the press.
“Hello Kitty was only for kids then. But in 1987, I got a letter from a high school student who said that her friends teased her because she had a Hello Kitty product. She asked the company to make something that did not look strange for her to carry around. Since then we’ve tried to come up with things that all ages can enjoy,” Yamaguchi said.
“The character has to communicate with people. It should change over time, and always stay fashionable,” Yamaguchi said.
The exhibition, “Inside Kitty”, starts by making people view the character. Kitty fans will be delighted to see all Hello Kitty items from throughout the past 40 years on display.
