Read the text, then read the questions about it and choose the one best answer A, B, C or В to each question:

Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney's first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his most famous one. It was on a cross-country train trip from New-York to California in 1927 that Disney first drew the mouse with the big ears. Propably he took his inspiration from the tame field mice that used to scamper into his old studio in Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the Mouse in the now familiar shorts with two buttons and gave him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lillian insisted on christening him Mickey Mouse.
Mickey's debut was with Minnie as a co-star. In the third short cartoon, "Steamboat Willie", Mickey was whistling and singing through the miracle of the modern soundtrack. By the 1930s Mickey's image had circled the globe. He was a superstar.
Although he had received a few minor changes throughout his lifetime, the addition of white gloves and the rounder forms, he has remained true to his nature since those first cartoons. Mickey is really nice. He may get into trouble but he is never sad or gloomy. Perhaps that was Disney's own image of himself. When interviewed he would say, "There is a lot of the mouse in me." And that mouse has remained one of well loved images in American popular culture.
