17、unt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face.

I
18、 enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible. As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large farmhouse owned by Ms Cratty and her twin brother. Neither had married, and they had no children. My father once told me

21、 have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It had obviously worked for her. So, I put the quarter in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich. I now have the jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. Neither has made me wealthy, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the
22、valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.44. Why did the author prefer to call Aunt Fannie “My Aunt Fannie”?A. Becaus

27、ost famous cartoonist in history. Born in Chicago in 1901, Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist. After returning from World War I, in which he drove an ambulance, Disney worked as a commercial artist. He enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else, and decided to try his hand at a technolo
28、gy that was new at the time, moving pictures. In the 1920s，he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by magic. The technique Disney used was painstaking. He made hundreds or even thousands of repeated drawings of the same character. In each drawing，the character was chang
29、ed just a bit. A film was taken of the series of drawings，and when it was shown，the characters appeared to move. The process, called animation(动画制作), is still used today，although computers have made the process much easier. In 1928, Disney created his most famous character, Mortimer Mouse, who we kn
30、ow today as Mickey. The mouse starred in a cartoon called Steamboat Willie, which was unusual because it involved the use of a sound track.
