Language points
1.Nemo,...Shrek...have won the hearts of youn g people.
win the heart of sb.意思是“赢得某人的心/爱”，也可以说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做副词，表示“到处，处处；无论何处”。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作动词时，意为“带领”，它还有“通向”的意思。leader是名词，意为“领导；领袖。”如：
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意为“从...开始”，主句一般用________时，从句用_______,表示从某个动作发生后在现在“一直...”。常放在句_____,后面可以接时间点或时间段+ago或ever since+主+动词简单过去。
例：I have known him ever since he was a child.
这种用法同since差不多，不过ever since比since用得少。
再如：We have lived in Shanghai ever since we came to China.
（自从我们来到中国之后就住在上海。）
He left school five years ago and has worked as a doctor ever since.(句末)
[拓展]
ever since 也可作为副词，解释“此后”（就一直...）
He left home last year and has been away ever since.
他去年离家出走了，此后一直在外面。（has+been away）
invent 作动词，意为“发明，创造”。强调运用想象力创造出以前从来未有的事物（机器、设备、方法、材料等），是及物动词，接名词或代词作宾语，可用于被动结构。如：
Can you tell me who invented the telephone?
你能告诉我是谁发明了电话？
He always tries to incent something new.
他一直努力要发明新东西。
[辨析]
invent,discover,find,find out,look for
这组词（组）都有“发明”“发现”的意思。discover指发现或偶然发现原来就存在但一直未被认识的东西；look for作“寻找”解时，指寻找的动作和过程；find指寻找的结果，即“找到”，是非延续性动词，不如discover正式；find out指经过观察、调查把某事、某物查出来，搞清楚，弄明白，多用于复杂为不易直接查出的情况；
invent指发明原来不存在的东西，有时也可指虚构、捏造。如：
Whilhelm Roentgen discovered X rays.
威尔海尔姆.伦琴发现了X射线。
He was amazed to find her there.
发现她在那里，他很吃惊。
Let's try and find out what's at the back of this problems.
咱们想法弄清楚问题的背景是怎样的。
Whatt invented the steam engine.
瓦特发明了蒸汽机。
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.
