How wrong I was! The misunderstanding(误解)began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
"Yes," I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."
"Well, that's nice," he said, "Are you getting married But aren't you too young "
"Who is talking about marriage(婚姻) " I replied, "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I've arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box "
"Oh," he said, "there is a phone downstairs."
When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

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. 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
1. What is Mickey Mouse a symbol of
2. Who and when created Mickey Mouse
3. Why did Mickey become so popular
4. What happened on November 18, 1978
5. Do people still love Mickey Mouse today
