Tom and Jerry are two of the most popular cartoon {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(character) in the world. In the short cartoons, Tom is always trying {#blank#}2{#/blank#}catch Jerry, but he never has any {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (succeed). Almost every cartoon ends with Tom in trouble and Jerry laughing at him. The{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (story) 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 {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to make funny cartoons for cinemas. Together they thought of the idea of a cat trying to catch a mouse. They thought it would be {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fun) to make the mouse clever and always get the cat into trouble.

    The first Tom and Jerry cartoon {#blank#}7{#/blank#} shown in cinemas in 1940. It was a great success, so their boss told Hanna and Barbera to make more. Over the next seventeen years, Hanna and Barbera made a huge number of Tom and Jerry cartoons. Most of the cartoons are about seven  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(minute) long.

    In total, Hanna and Barbera made 114 Tomand Jerry cartoons. The cartoons were so {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (well) that they won {#blank#}10{#/blank#} number of awards. The famous cat and mouse are still popular today. The cartoons are still shown on TV now.

    Most of us have played video games with friends, but how many of us know {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the games are made? Let me tell you about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} process in four basic stages.

    First of all, most games are produced by a team who work {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(close) together. They have lots of meetings where the basic story and characters {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(discuss).When the artists have made an agreement, they produce a set of drawings {#blank#}5{#/blank#}can show the characters and the places in the game.

    Next, the drawings are created {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the programmers. Then all the colors are painted, so the places and movements look real.

    After that, the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(part) of the story are put in order. Then the player options (选择) are produced. So now the game has {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) two key parts: the different levels of difficulty and all the tasks for the players.

    The final stage is as important as the other ones: game testing. A group of players are asked {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(use) the game and communicate any problems they find. Once these problems are solved, a much {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) game is ready for you to play.

In the northern Thailand, there's an attractive jungle (丛林) where you can sleep right in the middle of an elephant group. I tried it, and it was life-changing.

It's been my longtime wish to get up closer to the elephants. When I discovered the Jungle Bubbles, I was so excited that I jumped at the chance to spend sundown to sunup with elephants as my nighttime neighbors.

At 5 p. m., I was led along a stone path, and there they were: the Jungle Bubbles. There was complete privacy(隐私) with a wooden fence(栅栏), and all I saw and heard were elephants. It seems elephants never sleep. Well, they actually get two or three hours a night, and according to scientists, they may lie down for an hour every few days. Nothing is more interesting than watching elephants closely for such a long time.

When my guide left, it was 5:30 pm. It was still warm, and the light was golden. It was a perfect moment for pictures! I was as giddy as a kid opening presents on Christmas morning when I took pictures of the elephants standing just a few yards away. It was amazingly relaxing here. The only thing I had to do was watch elephants. I took a beer and watched them in the evening playing in a mud hole.

When the sun was down, I sat in the dark listening to the elephants eating leaves and insects buzzing(嗡嗡叫). The stars began to appear in the sky, this surely qualified as one of the most peaceful places on Earth.

The Jungle Bubbles experience is unforgettable,I decided to recommend this place to my readers.
