Language points
1.Nemo,...Shrek...have won the hearts of youn g people.
win the heart of sb.意思是“贏得某人的心/愛”，也可以說win sb's heart.如：
KFC wins the heart of the children in China.
The lady won the young man's heart in that event.
2....popular cartoons are everywhere,on offoce desks...
everywhere做副詞，表示“到處，處處；無論何處”。如：
I can't find my pen though I've looked everywhere.
His dog follows him everywhere he goes.
3.He leads a group of monkeys against the Emperor in heaven...
lead作動(dòng)詞時(shí)，意為“帶領(lǐng)”，它還有“通向”的意思。leader是名詞，意為“領(lǐng)導(dǎo)；領(lǐng)袖?！比纾?br> The guide led us to the river.
All roads lead to Rome.
Mr Lee will be the leader of our football team next year.
4.He has been popular for over eighty years,ever since the artist Herge invented him in 1929.
ever since意為“從...開始”，主句一般用________時(shí)，從句用_______,表示從某個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生后在現(xiàn)在“一直...”。常放在句_____,后面可以接時(shí)間點(diǎn)或時(shí)間段+ago或ever since+主+動(dòng)詞簡單過去。
例：I have known him ever since he was a child.
這種用法同since差不多，不過ever since比since用得少。
再如：We have lived in Shanghai ever since we came to China.
（自從我們來到中國之后就住在上海。）
He left school five years ago and has worked as a doctor ever since.(句末)
[拓展]
ever since 也可作為副詞，解釋“此后”（就一直...）
He left home last year and has been away ever since.
他去年離家出走了，此后一直在外面。（has+been away）
invent 作動(dòng)詞，意為“發(fā)明，創(chuàng)造”。強(qiáng)調(diào)運(yùn)用想象力創(chuàng)造出以前從來未有的事物（機(jī)器、設(shè)備、方法、材料等），是及物動(dòng)詞，接名詞或代詞作賓語，可用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。如：
Can you tell me who invented the telephone?
你能告訴我是誰發(fā)明了電話？
He always tries to incent something new.
他一直努力要發(fā)明新東西。
[辨析]
invent,discover,find,find out,look for
這組詞（組）都有“發(fā)明”“發(fā)現(xiàn)”的意思。discover指發(fā)現(xiàn)或偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)原來就存在但一直未被認(rèn)識的東西；look for作“尋找”解時(shí)，指尋找的動(dòng)作和過程；find指尋找的結(jié)果，即“找到”，是非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞，不如discover正式；find out指經(jīng)過觀察、調(diào)查把某事、某物查出來，搞清楚，弄明白，多用于復(fù)雜為不易直接查出的情況；
invent指發(fā)明原來不存在的東西，有時(shí)也可指虛構(gòu)、捏造。如：
Whilhelm Roentgen discovered X rays.
威爾海爾姆.倫琴發(fā)現(xiàn)了X射線。
He was amazed to find her there.
發(fā)現(xiàn)她在那里，他很吃驚。

She ran across some old letters when she was looking for something else.

Sample
My favorite cartoon
My favorite cartoon is “Kung Fu Panda”because it's vety funny and interesting.The story is great and the background is beautiful,In this cartoon,the character who I most like is the panda Po because it is not only unusual but cute and annoys the human to like,moreover is this cartoon's lead.
But I did not deny that other roles also very much annoy the affection,for example Tigress,Viper,Mantis,Crane and Monkey.I have learned a lot from the cartoon.Each people has the merit and the shortcoming;perhaps you only know your shortcoming.If you work hard,you will also discover that oneself will have merit.
