When people say "culture", we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse. Over 90 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music.

Taking a great photo is not easy and there are lots of things to consider. How do you choose and organize your subjects within your photo? Here are some tips from the art, design and photography experts.
Find a focus. When taking a picture, ask yourself, " What's the focus?" If you are taking a picture of a crowded street, choose a subject which catches your eye. If it's a landscape photo of a field,the focus could be a big tree.
It's a bit boring to put your subject right in the middle. Place it a little on the left or right of your photo. Imagine your photo changes to a three-by-three grid(网格). One of the corners of your central square is where your focus should be.
Create color contrasts(对比). Color in a picture is more easily noticed if it has a contrast. They will stand out more if they are taken beside a grey stone wall, or photographed against a bright blue sky.
Try different angles. To add more interest to a photo, try taking it from different angles. This means you need to move around, taking photos from different sides, from above or from below. For example, if you photograph a building from a plane it looks tiny but a photo of the same building looked up at from the street makes it look huge.
Practice makes perfect. Try everything for the perfect shot.
A.Place the photo correctly.
B.It can tell a different story.
C.Remember the rule of thirds.
D.Think about focus, color, light and more.
E.It could be a person wearing bright colors.
F.If you take a picture of yellow flowers, don't fill your picture with them.
G.When taking pictures of animals, you should be careful not to disturb them.

A legendary Chinese painting
Have you heard about a world-famous landscape painting named Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains? It was painted by Huang Gongwang, one of the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty. Many experts think it is among the greatest masterpieces in Chinese art history. The story behind this painting is also very unusual.
Huang was almost eighty years old when he began working on Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. He first made a rough drawing of the whole painting in one sitting. Over the following years, he then added parts to it whenever he was in the mood. The final painting was almost seven metres long and it was given to a friend as a present.
Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains shows the beauty of the countryside of Jiangnan. The painting takes us on a breathtaking journey in the mountains. Along the way, we follow narrow paths, cross wooden bridges and pass along a wide river. If we look carefully, we can see people far away in the landscape. Some woodsmen are hidden among the trees. On the river, there is a man sitting alone on a boat. He is fishing. It looks like he is at one with nature, and we feel the same when we look at the painting.
Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains was such an amazing painting that it was copied by hundreds of artists. The original painting changed owners many times. One of the owners liked it so much that he even put it next to himself while sleeping and eating.
Sometime around 1650, something terrible happened: the famous painting was damaged by fire, and it was split into two pieces. The two parts went their separate ways. In the following centuries, they each experienced many dramatic events. One of them even became part of the Qianlong Emperor's art collection!

D、Around 60 years old.(2)、How long is the painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains?A、About 3 meters. B、About 5 meters. C、Almost 7 meters. D、Over 10 meters.(3)、What does the phrase "at one with nature" most likely mean in the passage?A、Being lonely in the wild. B、Feeling peaceful and connected to the natural world. C、Living far away from other people. D、Becoming part of a painting.(4)、What happened to the painting around the year 1650?A、It was collected by the Qianlong Emperor. B、It was copied by hundreds of artists. C、It was damaged by fire and divided into two parts. D、It was given to a friend as a gift.(5)、When were the two parts of the painting finally shown together again?A、In 1650. B、In 2000. C、In 2011. D、In 2016.
