Almost every cartoon ends with Tom in trouble and Jerry laughing at him. The stories are full of fun and have a long history.
William Hanna and Joseph Barbera both worked for MGM in the late 1930s. Their boss told them to make funny cartoons. Together they thought of the idea of a cat and a mouse. They thought it would be funny if the mouse was clever and always got the cat into trouble.
It was a great success that the first Tom and Jerry cartoon was shown in cinemas in 1940. Over the next 17 years, they made many Tom and Jerry cartoons. Most of them are around seven minutes long.
In total, Hanna and Barbera made 114 Tom and Jerry cartoons. The cartoons were so good that they won a number of awards(奖励). The famous cat and mouse remain popular today, as the cartoons are still shown on television around the world.

He Weiyi, a diving coach at the Guangdon g Provincial Sports Team said, "Up on the 10-meter platform, it was where Quan showed her talent. It looks high up here, but believe it or not, in just three years' time, Quan could manage some very difficult sets of movements. Her development was much quicker than most athletes, I'd say she's got outstanding talent." But talent alone doesn't always make sure of success. For Quan, hard work has been the key to success. Quan always practices harder than other athletes around her age. Because of her great effort and achievement in diving, she has attracted the public attention all over the world.
