1. Read the passage and do the task that follows.
Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney's first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his most
famous one. It was on a cross-country train trip from New York to California in 1927 that Disney first
drew the mouse with the big ears. Supposedly, he took his inspiration from the tame field mice that used
to scamper into his old studio in Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the mouse in the now-


familiar shorts with two buttons and gave him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had
intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lilian intervened and christened him Mickey Mouse.
Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindbergh, Disney planned Mickey's debut in the short cartoon
Plane Crazy, with Minnie as a co-star. In the third short cartoon, Steamboat Willie, Mickey was whistling
and singing through the miracle of the modern soundtrack. By the 1930s, Mickey's image had circled the
globe. He was a superstar at the height of his career.
Although he has received few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most notably the addition of
white gloves and the rounder forms of a more childish nobody, he has remained true to his nature since
those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he is ice. He may get into trouble, but he takes it on the
chin with a grin. He is both good-natured and resourceful. Perhaps that was Disney's own image of
himself. Why else would he have insisted on doing Mickey's voice in all he cartoon for twenty years?
When interviewed, he would say, "There is a lot of the mouse in me". And that mouse has remained one
of the most pervasive images in American popular culture.
1. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned? A. The image of Mickey Mouse. B. The life of Walt Disney. C. The history of cartoon.
D. The definition of American culture.

A. He was dressed in shorts with two buttons. B. He had big ears. C. He wore yellow shoes. D. He was using white gloves.
4. The word "pervasive" could best the replaced by __________ A. Well-loved. B. Widespread. C. Often copied. D. Expensive to buy.
5. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses __________ A. The history of cartoons.
B. Other images in popular culture, C. Walt disney's childhood.
D. The voices of cartoon characters.
