just enough to pass the exams. Others didn"t do quite enough. Fred Baines was such a student. He spent
more time drinking in the Tea House than working in the library.
Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100
questions. Beside each question we had to write "True” or “False". While I was studying in my room the
night before the test, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very easy. Then he told me of his idea. "
It"s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I"ll take a coin into
the room. I haven"t studied a Chinese book for months, so I"ll toss(掷) the coin. In that way, I"m sure "11 get half of the questions right.”
The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour,
he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.
The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. "Oh, good, "he said. "Have you got
the results of" the test?" The teacher looked at him and smiled, "Ah, it"s you, Baines. Just a minute. “Then
the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at it,” I’m sorry, Baines, you failed!“

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the film maker Walter Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney"s cartoon films for children. When Walter Disney heard Nash"s voice, he said, 16Stopl That"s our duck!" The duck was now the famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film the Wise Little Hen, Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audiences liked him because he was lazy and greedy (贪婪), and because he lost his temper very easily. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey"s eight nephews (侄儿). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn"t goody-goody ( 伪善者) like Mickey. In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the places of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared there were no more new cartoons. Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today"s children can still see the old cartoons on TV and hear that famous voice. | |||
