Once upon a time, there was a lion and a mouse.

One day, when the lion was sleeping, the mouse ran onto his face. The lion woke up. He was very angry and caught the mouse. “I will eat you!” the lion said angrily.

The mouse cried out, “If you do not kill me, I would be happy to give you a reward(回报).” The lion laughed at the idea. He did not think a little mouse could help such a big strong animal like himself. But he still let the mouse go.

After a few days, it happened. The lion was caught by hunters’ net. He tried his best to leave, after half a day, but he still couldn’t get out of the net. He was very sad, he thought he was dying. At that time the lion felt something nibbling(啃，咬) on the ropes. It was the mouse. Just before dark, the work was done. There was a hole in the net. The lion got free through the hole. He was very happy and thanked the mouse, “My friend, you have saved me. I will never doubt the power of small animals like you.”

From then on, the lion and the mouse became friends.

Learn a second language
There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I’ll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”
So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”
The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out of the hole, and the beautiful smell of cheese came to his nose again. He could see the cheese. It was only a few centimetres away. But he sat still and waited quietly. This time he did not hear any cat noises. Instead he heard a very quiet “Woof, woof.”
“It’s a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the cat won’t be there. I expect the dog has chased the cat away, so I’m safe.” The mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the cat, which caught him and ate him.
When the cat finished her meal, she said to herself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned a second language.”
【小题1】Who told the mouse to wait before going for a piece of cheese?

Walt Disney began to make cartoon movies when he was young. But he didn’t have much money and he didn’t always have enough to eat. One day a mouse ran near his desk when he worked in his small office.
“Would you like to be my pet? ”Disney asked the mouse. He caught the mouse and kept it as a pet. A few years later, Disney decided to make a cartoon about it. “I am making a cartoon about a mouse named Mortimer,” he told his wife. “Mortimer Mouse? I think Mickey Mouse would be a better name.” She said. “You are right!”  Disney agreed and made many Mickey Mouse cartoons.
People all over the world saw Mickey and loved it. Mickey Mouse made Disney famous. Then come Donald Duck, and Goofy Dog and others. Disney began to make full length (长) cartoons. Then he made cartoon movies for television. Millions of children watched the shows every week.
In California, real boats, castles (城堡), trains, mountains, rivers, all in one beautiful park. Millions of people came to Disneyland. He died in 1966, but the world will not forget him quickly. Mickey Mouse and all his cartoons will help us to remember him.
