IV. READING
Exercise 1: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
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 artistoperating 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.
