In 1993 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 (动画片) 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 firm The Wise Little Hen.
Donald lived in an old houseboat (水上住家) 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(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because
he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 40s and 50s 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.

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.
But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.
Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”
“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”
“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain.
“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says.
With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.
Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.
The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.
