Mr. Cadbury believed that the wine was bad and he wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead. A few years later, man invented a way to make chocolate bars (块), so people had the chance to eat chocolate instead of only drinking it.

Walt Disney was born in America. When he was very young, his family moved from the city to a farm.

When Disney was in high school, although he was busy most of the time, he could still find time to do things he liked. He spent much of his free time drawing pictures of the animals on the farm. He then began to make up stories about them. Later, he even began taking art classes on Saturdays.

After he finished college, he became a newspaper artist. As he grew older, Disney’s art talent also grew. He began using a new way to tell his stories. To do this, he drew the same picture over and over again, changing each one a little every time. Using his camera, he took a photo of each drawing. Next, he put the film (胶卷) through a movie projector (放映机). As the pictures ran quickly through the projector, the characters looked real and moving. Disney soon began to use this way very often. He made his drawings into cartoons. And the cartoons were just like movies. In 1920, his first cartoon Laugh-O-Grams came out and became quite popular.

Walt Disney was successful after many years of hard work. He became one of the world’s greatest entertainers (演艺人士). His cartoons still make lots of people happy every day.
