One day a man put an ad in most of the newspapers in England. He said that he was a young man with pounds and great knowledge. He'd like to find a girl to be his wife and the girl must be like the one in the books written by Somerset Maugham. Thousands of parents and young girls knew about the ad . Parents all went to the bookshops to look for Somerset Maugham's books. They bought those books for their daughters as presents. Girls tried to get those books to read although they weren't reading. They wanted to know what kind of person the rich man wished for. Before long all the books of Maugham and the writer was known . Who was the rich man? It was Somerset Maugham who put the ad in the newspapers! The ad saved his books and it made him famous too!

    In England, people often the weather because they can experience (经历) our seasons . In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold. In the late afternoon the sky will be sunny, the sun will begin to shine, and it will be summer at this time of a day. In England, people can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer.

So in winter they can swim sometimes, and in summer sometimes they should . When you go to England, you will see that some English people usually take an umbrella (伞) or a raincoat with them in the sunny morning, but you should not them. If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat, you will regret (后悔) later in the day.

If you study in a foreign country, just take it.

    In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our duck!"

    The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickeys eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.

    In the 1930s, Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared-there were no more new cartoons.

    Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
