Part 2: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) in the numbered boxes. (1.4 pts) Mickey Mouse
Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney's first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his most
famous one. It was on a cross-country train trip from New York to California in 1927 that Disney first
drew the mouse with the big ears. Supposedly, he took his inspiration from the tame field mice that used
to scamper into his old studio in Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the mouse in the now-
familiar shorts with two buttons and gave him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had
intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lillian intervened and christened him Mickey Mouse.
Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindbergh, Disney planned Mickey's debut in the short
cartoon Plane Crazy, with Minnie as a co-star. In the third short cartoon, Steamboat Willie, Mickey was
whistling and singing through the miracle of the modern soundtrack. By the 1930s Mickey's image had
circled the globe. He was a superstar at the height of his career.
Although he has received a few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most notably the addition
of white gloves and the alterations to achieve the rounder forms of a more childish body, he has remained
true to his nature since those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he is nice. He may get into
trouble, but he takes it on the chin with a grin. He is both good-natured and resourceful. Perhaps that was
Disney's own image of himself. Why else would he have insisted on doing Mickey's voice in all the
cartoons for twenty years? When interviewed, he would say. "There is a lot of the mouse in me." And that
mouse has remained one of the most pervasive images in American popular culture.
1. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A. The image of Mickey Mouse B. The life of Walt Disney C. The history of cartoon
D. The definition of American culture
- Trang 4/7 –
2. What distinguished Steamboat Willie from earlier cartoons? A. Better color B. A sound track C. Minnie Mouse as co-star D. The longer format
3. The word “pervasive” in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by ______ A. well loved. B. widespread. C. often copied. D. expensive to buy.
4. The word "appealing" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______ A. attractive. B. famous. C. exceptional. D. distinguishable.
5. What did Disney mean when he said, "There is a lot of the mouse in me?"
A. He was proud of the mouse that he created.
B. He knew that the mouse would be a famous creation.
C. He created the mouse with many of his own qualities.
D. He had worked very hard to create the mouse.
6. The first image of Mickey Mouse is described as all of the following EXCEPT ______
A. he was dressed in shorts with two buttons B. he had big ears C. he wore yellow shoes
D. he was wearing white gloves

C. You could always give it back to the person who gave it to you in the first place.
D. It also gives you a little extra cash to spend on something more useful.
E. These kinds of sites are becoming more and more popular and are an especially great idea for kids
as a way of getting rid of unwanted toys.
F. The pile usually includes things like perfume or shower gel that smells disgusting and funny,
fluffy slippers that you’ll never wear.
G. The problem is, most of these people can’t be bothered to return them to the shop, or pass them on to a charitable cause.
H. That’s an incredible waste of money.
RECYCLING UNWANTED GIFTS
What will you and your family do if you receive any presents you don’t want this year? After a
birthday or public holiday, many people get a mountain of presents that they have no intention of ever
using. (1) ________ Then there are the cuddly toys from aunts and uncles you haven’t seen for years who
still think you’re about ten-year-old and the knitted socks and jumpers from well-meaning grandparents.
According to a recent survey people receive millions of these types of unwanted presents every
year. (2) ________ So what do they do with them instead ? People usually leave them in a wardrobe or a
drawer until months or even years later when they decide to do a clear out. (3) ________ So, what can be
done about this ? Recycling is one solution and here are some ideas on how to recycle your gifts.
- Trang 5/7 –
First, you could try going on the Internet and looking for a website that allows you to display your
unwanted gifts and to exchange them for something else that you like. (4) ________ It’s not only gifts
that you can exchange either. Have you ever been given a voucher by a well meaning relative to be spent
in a shop that you would never dream of setting foot in? Apparently, in Britain alone, around £60 million
worth of vouchers are given to people every year which will never be redeemed. (5) ________ Now
there’s a solution in the form of a website that allows you to sell or exchange your vouchers.
If you don’t mind anything you want to exchange your gifts for, you can try selling them, you
might feel a bit guilty about this, but at least it gives someone else a chance to use and enjoy your product.
(6) ________ Another way of making money is to go on the Internet and auction things on eBay.
Alternatively, you could advertise in a newspaper, or do a car boot sale.
If neither of these suggestions appeals to you, you could simply give your unwanted things away.
The most ethical thing to do of course is to donate them to charity shops. Of course, if more people did
this, the charities would be able to raise more money for the poorest and most vulnerable people around
the world. (7) ________ However, make sure you make a list of who gave you what gift and when so that
you’re able to avoid the intense embarrassment of giving a friend a present they gave to you the year before. Your answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
