When people say “culture”，we think of art and history.①But 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.②Over 80 years ago，he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.③When 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.④He 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.⑤In his early films，Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend，Minnie.⑥However，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.People today expect to see more than just a little mouse fighting bad guys，but many still know who he is.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's？,
当人们说“文化”时，我们会想到艺术和历史。但是在美国文化中一个非常著名的象征是卡通片。我们都知道并喜欢那只有两个大大的、圆圆的耳朵的黑老鼠——米老鼠。80多年前，他首次出现在卡通片《汽船威利》中。当这部卡通片于1928年11月18日在纽约问世时，它是第一部有声音和音乐的卡通片。米老鼠背后的人是沃尔特·迪斯尼。他变得非常富有和成功。在20世纪30年代，他用米老鼠制作了87部动画片。
也许有人会问为什么这个卡通动物变得如此受欢迎。其中主要的原因之一是米老鼠像一个普通的人，但是他总是尽力去面对任何危险。在他早期的电影中，米老鼠是不幸的并遇到了许多问题，诸如失去了房子和他的女朋友明妮。然而，他总是愿意尽最大努力。人们去电影院看这“小人”成功。他们大多数想和米老鼠一样。
在1978年11月18日，米老鼠成为好莱坞星光大道中的第一个有星的卡通人物。尽管今天的人们期望看到的不仅仅只是一只与坏家伙作斗争的小老鼠了，但是许多人依然知道他是谁。谁还会有一对比米老鼠更有名的耳朵呢？

点评：作者通过点出“周末，我喜欢看电视”，从而引出下文的电视节目，语言干练简洁。下文介绍了自己喜欢及不喜欢的电视节目，运用了like，don't like，can't stand等词语，把作者的喜好清晰地呈现于读者面前。本文写作时可值得借鉴。
