Section B 2a-2e
2a Discuss the following questions with a partner.
Do you like to watch cartoons?
What is your favorite cartoon?
Why do you like it?
When people say “culture”, we
think of art and history. But one
very famous symbol in American
culture is a cartoon. We all know
and love the black mouse with two large round ears-Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.
2b Read the passage and complete the time
line on the next page.
When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons
are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves
him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?
课文翻译
当人们说到“文化，”我们就会想到艺术和历史。但是美国文化里的一个有名的标志是卡通。我们都知道而且喜欢黑色的带着两只圆耳朵的老鼠 - 米老鼠。80多年前，它第一次出现在Steamboat WIllie (威利蒸汽船的电影)里。
当这个卡通在1928年11月18日出现在纽约的时候，它是第一部没有声音没有音乐的卡通。米老鼠背后的男人是Walt Disney。他变得很有钱很成功。在20世纪30年代，他用米老鼠为题材制作了87部卡通。
一些人可能会问这个卡通动物怎么这么受欢迎。一个主要原因是米老鼠就像一个普通人，但是他经常努力面对任何的危险。在他早期电影里，米老鼠很不幸而且有很多问题譬如丢了房子 丢了女朋友 米妮。但是，他一直准备好尽最大的努力。人们去电影院看“小人物”成功。他们中的大多数想要成为米老鼠。
