The Smurfs （蓝精灵） —cute little blue cartoon dwarfs （矮人）
inspired by Nordic fairy tales —made their first TV appearance in the US
1981 and ever since have been childhood friends to many people across
The storyline is quite simple．The Smurfs are living happily in their
mushroom houses in the middle of a forest．Then one day the evil wizard
Gargamel （格格巫） discovers their village and sends them by magic to
present-day New York City．The Smurfs have to find their way home and conquer Gargamel along the way．
So, just why, more than half a century later, is the simple story still so beloved by young and old?
Mario Cacciolotto, a BBC reporter, believes it is due to the fact that the Smurfs' lives do not have "any particular cultural implication" and argues that they "could offer a model for society"．
`Veronique Culliford, daughter of the Smurfs' creator Pierre Culliford, agrees．"They are unique creations," she says．" They do not do politics or religion．They are multi-cultural and everybody around the world can recognize themselves in the Smurfs．Everyone can apply their very nice values of friendship, kindness and helping others to their own lives, regardless of where they come from．
In the Smurf world, everyone has their own skill and is willing to use it for the benefit of others without expecting any reward．Their village is run as a collective （合作公社） and has no form of currency．This has even led to debates about whether the artist intended the Smurfs as a metaphor （ 暗喻） for socialism．" The series wasn't just about sweet-looking dwarfs," said Alan Mechem of the British Smurf Collectors Club．He thought that Culliford wanted it to show things like equality and tolerance．
67．The Smurfs movie is mainly about ____．
A．the Smurfs' happy life in their village
B．the evil wizard Gargamel' s powerful magic
C．the Smurfs' adventures in New York City
D．how the Smurfs rebuild their village
68．According to Veronique Culliford, why is the Smurfs' story still popular after more than half a century?
A．Its characters are unique．
B．It has a simple storyline．
C．It has a deep religious meaning．
D．It reflects the Nordic culture．
69．Which of the following statements about the Smurfs is true according to the passage?
A．The Smurfs are socialists．
B．The Smurfs are friendly and tolerant．
C．All the Smurfs in the movie are male．
D．Every Smurf uses its own
