Answer the questions (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題)

This is a story about a boy called Sparky. For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He got a zero in physics. It made him the worst physics student in the school’s history. He didn’t do much better in sports. Although he tried to join the school’s golf team, he quickly lost the only important match.

He didn’t have friends, either. Other kids didn’t care about him. If a classmate said “hello” to Sparky outside the school, he would feel very surprised.

Sparky was a loser and everyone knew it. So he accepted it.

But one thing was important to Sparky – drawing. He was proud of his artwork. In senior high school, he sent some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook (年鑒) but got turned down. Sparky was hurt. But he didn’t lose hope because he believed in his ability. He decided to become a professional artist.

He wrote a letter to the Walt Disney Studios (工作室) after graduating high school. The studio asked him to draw some cartoons on a certain subject. Sparky spent a lot of time on the cartoons. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios: they didn’t like his cartoons.

Was it time to stop drawing? Sparky didn’t think so. He started to put his own life in the cartoons. He created his childhood self – a little boy loser: Charlie Brown. He wasn’t good at football. But Charlie Brown would soon become famous worldwide. Sparky, the boy who used to fail school and who was rejected again and again, was Charles Schulz. He created the Peanuts comic strip and the world-famous cartoon characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy.
