Part 3: Read the following passage and then choose the best answers to the questions.
Walt Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago, but soon moved to a small farm near Marceline,
Missouri. From this rural and rather humble beginning, he later became one of the most famous and beloved
motion-picture producers in history. Although he died in 1966, his name and artistic legacy continue to
influence the lives of millions of people throughout the world.
After several years of barely making ends meet as a cartoon artist operating from his Los Angeles
garage, Disney had his first success in 1928, with his release of a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Throughout the
next decade, he continued to produce a number of cartoons, and develop more of his highly profitable and
enduring creations, such as Donald Duck and Pluto. In the late 1930s, he issued a full-length cartoon film.
Snow White became an instant commercial and critical success. This was only the first of many films, both
animated and not, produced by Disney and his studio.
But as renowned as Disney name is for cartoons and movies, it is probably best known for a string of
spectacular amusement and theme parks. Starting with California’s Disneyland in 1955 and culminating
with the fantastically successful Disney World and EPCOT Center in Florida, Disney became a household
name. In recent years, the theme park concept became international, with openings in Tokyo and Paris. With
the continuing success of Disney, the creation of future theme park is under discussion.
