A
In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon(动画片)film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said "Stop! That's our duck!”
The duck was the now*famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat (水上住家)and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. His cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的),and because he lost his temper(发脾气)very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews (侄子).Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared—there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

Bollywood: the Hollywood of India
You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year, and that number continues to grow. Just as the movie capital of the United States is Hollywood t the movie capital of India is Bombay(孟买),but it is usually called M Bollywood, a combination (结合)of the words Bombay and Hollywood.
No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances. In fact, music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the dances mean.
Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music, but it is very like Hollywood in several ways. If Tom Cruise can hold a gun, so can the Bollywood hero Sharukh Khan. Bollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars. The personal lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines, just as they do in the United States.
The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America. Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars, and they are also very exciting.
1. The name Bollywood comes from the words__________________
2. Many____________are made each year in Bollywood.
3. In India, ____________are sometimes more popular than the film stars.
4. Every complete Bollywood movie has a few______________in it.
5. Though they are different, the Oscars in India are as ____________as those in America.

Dear Jane,
Thank you for telling me so much about cartoon characters from America. Some of the characters you told me are also familiar to Chinese kids. For example, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry are well known to almost every child in China.
China has also produced many cartoon TV plays or movies. Among all the Chinese cartoon characters, I like Monkey King and Nezha best because they are brave and clever. They can beat all their enemies, no matter how terrible they are. I believe you will fall in love with them if you see them one day.
Yours,
