PART THREE: READING (5.0 POINTS)

I. Read the passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions. (2.0 points)
The first animated film, Humorous Phases of Funny Faces, was made in 1906 by newspaper
illustrator James Blackton. He filmed faces that were drawn on blackboards in progressive stages. In
New York City, Winsor McCay exhibited his most famous films, Little Nemo (1910) and Gertie the
Dinosaur (1914). His films featured fluid motion and characters with individual personalitiesQ2. For
the first time, characters drawn of life seemed to live on the screen. In 1914, John R. Bray
streamlined the animation process, using assembly-line techniques to turn out cartoons.
By 1915, film studios began producing cartoon series. The Pat Sullivan studio produced the
series featuring Felix the Cat. He became one of the most beloved characters of the silent-film era.
The Max Fleischer studio produced series starring Ko-Ko the Clown and, later, Betty Boop and
Popeye.
The first cartoon with sound was Steamboat Willie (1928)Q5, which introduced Mickey
Mouse. This film was produced by Walt Disney, the most famous of American animators. His early
success enabled Disney to train his animators in anatomyQ6, acting, drawing and motion studies.
The results of this are apparent in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), the first full- length
animated feature.
It became an instant success, and still remains popular. Other important Disney films followed.
Warner Brothers’ studio challenged Disney for leadership in the field with cartoons starring
Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and other characters. These films were faster-paced and featured slapstick
humor. In the 1950s, a group of animators splintered off from Disney and formed United
Production of America, which rejected Disney’s realism and employed a bold, modernistic approach.
In the 1950s, children’s cartoons began to be broadcast on Saturday morning television and,
later, in prime time. Among the most successful were those made by William Hanna and Joseph
Barbera, such as those featuring Yogi Bear and the Flinstones.
The full-length animated film became popular again in the 1980s and ‘90s. Producer Steven
Spielberg released his first animated film, An American Tail (1986), and Disney began a series of
remarkable annual hits with The Little Mermaid (1989). Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), a joint
production of Spielberg and Disney, blurred the lines between live action and animation. Animation
returned to prime-time television with the Fox Network’s The Simpsons. Animators had
experimented with computer animation as early as the 1950s, but Toy Story (1955) was the first-
fulllength film to be entirely computer animated. These developments promise to bring about the
most exciting era in animation since its heyday.

The Ability to Get from One Place to Another
One important life skill that teenagers need to learn in order to become independent, and to
generally be able to operate without their parents is transportation, or “getting from Point A to Point
B”. While it sounds simple, many teens do not have a good grasp of this simple skill. There is a bus
to get to school and often, the family rely upon for transportation to go anywhere else.
Always leaving this important life skill to parents can lead a child to develop the bad habit of
never taking the responsibility of being where they need to be and blaming others for being late or
not showing up. That will hinder your teen's daily living and success.
Young adults have goals, dreams and responsibilities that will require them to know all they
can about different modes of transportation.
Teens need to know “how to get there from here”. Therefore, parents need to give the
responsibility of transporting themselves from one place to another to their teens as often as
possible. When parents do this, teens leam valuable transportation lessons.
Transportation lessons and experiences are taught in high school and some can be taught by
getting your teens involved with travel clubs or various youth events.
These life skills are learned best when taught by experience, but you can also use the Internet
to help when the concept of using experience as a teacher is not readily applicable. Give these
lessons your best efforts as teaching your teens how to go where they need to on their own will
boost their confidence and add to their overall sense of independence.
