 Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.

People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.

Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.

It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.   

1.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?

A. They thought spinach made them strong.

B. They thought Popeye was funny.

Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move.

Since earliest times, people have always been astonished by movement. But not until last century had we managed to take control of movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to retranslate it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector (放映机).

In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.

A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was a wonderful cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back.

Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girl friend Olive Oyo were born at Max Flcischer in 1933.

But to be an animator, you don’t have to be a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is to draw directly onto an empty film and then run the film through a projector.

What does the passage mainly discuss?

   A. Animal world      B. Movie camera    C. Cartoon making      D. Movement

Which of the following statements is True?

   A. People were unable to recreate the movement or record it in the nineteenth century.

   B. Pat Sullivan was a famous early cartoon character.

   C. It is impossible to make cartoon characters to do what they are designed to do.

   D. Only professional animators can make animated films.

According to the passage, Felix the Cat _________.

   A. was created by the American cartoonist Felix.

   B. was designed by Pat Sullivan in the early twentieth century.

   C. was unable to do what natural cats could not do.

   D. was created in the United States in the nineteenth century.

It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

   A. Walt Disney’s cartoon characters were born earlier than Pat Sullivan’s.

   B. only professionals can create cartoon character

   C. Popeye the Sailor and Olive Oyo were famous cartoonists.

   D. the cartoon industry started in the United States.
