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 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 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 {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (success). In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey. 

Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (reason) is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(lucky) and had many problems, such as {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (lose) his house or girlfriend, Minnie. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, 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 {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（one）cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today's cartoons are usually not so {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(simple) as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (know) and loves him. Who has a pair of ears {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(famous) than Mickey's?

    There are many famous traditional Chinese doctors in China, and Li Shizhen is one of them.

    Here is the story of Li Shizhen and his great book.

    Li Shizhen was born in 1518. He became interested in Chinese medicine when he was stillyoung .His father was a popular doctor at that time, and Li Shizhen often saw that people were ill.

    ⒈He decided to study medicine so that he could help them.

    Li Shizhen read many books about medicine. He found that there were some mistakes in manyold medical books, so his hope was to write a new one. He tried his best to study medical science. He studied not only herbs(草药) in his garden, but also the wild ones. He went out to collect herbs and talk with old farmers. He learned a lot from curing (治疗) patients.

    After many years of hard work and study, Li Shizhen finished his great work Ben Cao Gangmu .At that time he was sixty. His book is one of the greatest books in the world medical field.

    Lots of kids like to play computer and mobile games these days. Is this good or bad for us? How do we deal with this issue?

    In my opinion, playing games responsibly(负责任地)can help us relax. As the old saying goes," All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. "For example, when I finish five days of studying, I feel tired. That's when I like to play a game called King of Glory with my classmates. We all have lots of fun playing and talking about it. When we win, we feel happy. And when we lose, we still want to play more. I think that's why so many students in our school like to play this game. It can not only help us relax, but also strengthen our friendship.

    In addition, playing games can exercise our brains and help us think more quickly. When we start to play a new game, we're not very good at it. But we can get better through practice. This process exercises our brains and makes them more active. However, you should make sure that you have finished all of your homework before you play games.

    Still, some students seem like they are addicted(上瘾的)to games. They can't control themselves and will play games for five hours a day. That is not good. It's bad for not only their eyes, but also their health. They will feel tired in class the next day, which will affect(影响) their studies. That's not very responsible.

    Therefore, I can only say that we should try to be self-disciplined(自律的)and responsible when working out how much time we should spend playing video games.

    Rishi was a 10-year-old boy. Just like any other boy of his age, he hardly did the housework his parents told him to do, and usually he would completely ignore(忽视) them.

    It was a 5-day holiday. He spent a good time with his mother. She took him for outings. They went to the beach and parks and had delicious meals. She cooked his favourite foods and played with him. Three days was left and Rishi's mother wanted him to clean the house with her. To her surprise, he agreed and did everything well.

    After Rishi finished the work his mother asked him to do, he gave her a piece of paper written by him. She was greatly surprised to see what he wrote.

She didn't say a word and wrote on a piece of paper and gave it to her son. She wrote:

    The boy was in tears and rushed to his mum and gave her a big hug. He told his mother, "Mum, I love you. I'm sorry for everything." Rishi's mother kissed him on his forehead.
