But 64 do they wear gloves Here are three main 65 (reason).
In the age of black and white cartoons, it was hard to distinguish the characters’ black hands from their black bodies. Giving them white gloves was a way 66 (make) their hands stand out.
It took 67 (little) time to draw the characters’ gloves than paws. So, 68 (save) time was another reason behind it.

Last week, our school did a survey about the programs that we watch in our free time. Here is the result.
To my surprise, half of the students dislike watching news. And 35 percent of them don’t mind it. Only 15 percent of them love watching news. I think we should watch news, because it can help us learn something new and useful. As for soap operas, 75 percent of the students like watching them, and 25 percent of them can’t stand them. I think some soap operas are meaningless and useless. We shouldn’t spend too much time on them.
