Section B 2b

When people say “c ulture”，we think of art and history.①But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon.We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse.②Over 80 years ago，he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie.③When 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.④He became very rich and successful.In the 1930s，he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.

Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular.One of the main r easons is that Mickey was like a common man，but he always tried to face any danger.⑤In his early films，Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend，Minnie.⑥However，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 the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Peo ple today expect to see more than just a little mouse fighting bad guys，but many still know who he is.Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's？,

Unit 2 I'm going to study computer science.

Section B 2b

1．Do you know what a resolution is？It's a kind of promise.①Most of the time，we make promises to other people.(“Mom，I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”)However，promises you make to yourself are resolutions，and the most common kind is New Year's resolutions.The_start_of_the_year_is_often_

a_time_for_making_resolutions.②When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year，we hope that we are going to improve our lives.③Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.How_about_you_—_will_you_make_any_next_year?

2．There are different kinds of resolutions.Some are about physical health.For example，some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.④Many resolutions have to do with self­improvement.These are about making yourself a better person.⑤ Some people m ight say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos，or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning，like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.For example，a student may have to find more time to study.

3．Although there are differences，most resolutions have one thing in common.People hardly ever keep them！There are good reasons for this.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason，some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions！Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.,
