But its probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th-century as Americas “Disney Era.” Today, its certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modem America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disneys success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongsto one person the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “little guy,” and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of the ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements Disneys very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey house, was inspired by Charles Lindberghs flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the three little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping ones fellow man, ordinary Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disneys other great virtue was the fact that his company unlike other big corporations had a human face. His Hollywood studio the public heard operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first-name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, his studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disneys patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole(间谍), identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was “Uncle Walt” 一 the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.In the 30 years since his death, not much has changed. In 1986, he was attacked as a McCarthyist, a supporter of big business, and a purveyor of “sub-literate” entertainment. However, none of it has made any difference to the general public. Their loyalty to Uncle Walt remains as strong as ever.1.Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPT( ).2.Walt Disney became an icon after his death not because( ).3.In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuine article” means that( ).4.The writers attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described as( ).5.According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disneys patriotism?问题1选项A.paintingB.creativityC.manag
