    One picture was of a calm(平静的) lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. Everyone thought that was a perfect picture of peace.

    The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged(崎岖的) and bare(无遮蔽的).Above was an angry sky. And it was raining and lightening. Down the side of the mountain, a waterfall fell quickly. This did not look peaceful at all.

    But when the King looked carefully, he saw behind the waterfall a bush(矮树丛)growing in a crack(裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest(巢,窝), There, she sat on her nest… in perfect peace.

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?
