2. Module 9 Cartoon stories

3. Unit 1 Daming: Oh dear! Where’s the camera? What’s Tony’s dad going to say? Betty: This is like a cartoon story. Lingling: Why? Betty: I can imagine every drawing in the cartoon, and I know what the ending will be. Daming: The cartoons I like have lots of jokes. Lingling: But it’s no laughing matter. This is serious. Betty: This isn’t one of those cartoons which make you laugh. Daming: And the characters I like are heroes like Superman or Batman. Lingling: We need someone like Superman who can save Tony… Mr Jackson: Hello, I’m looking for Tony. Daming: He’s over there. Mr Jackson: Could you tell him I’d like to have a word with him? I’ve got a camera which has got his name on it. It was upstairs. Daming: That’s good news. Shall I give it to him? Mr Jackson: OK. Here you are. Betty: Oh, Tony’s father is going over to speak to him. Daming: If Tony tells his dad that he’s lost the camera he borrowed, he’ll be in deep trouble. Lingling: How can we let Tony know that we’ve got his dad’s camera? Daming: I know! Let’s take a photo. He’ll see the flash. Betty: That’s a smart idea! Give it to me! Lingling: Well, it may not be very funny, but perhaps it’ll be a cartoon which has a happy ending. Betty: And I’ll be Superman! (snap)

Called Havoc in Heaven, it tells the story of a monkey who leads a group of monkeys against the rule of the Emperor in heaven. He flies into a peach garden and eats as many peaches as he likes. He makes a mess in each room in heaven. But it is above all the jokes played by the monkey that people remember “Havoc in heaven” has become a common expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.

7. Another favourite who has celebrated an important birthday in China is a reporter with red hair and a small white dog. Tintin has travelled to the jungle, The backstreets of Shanghai and even the surface of the moon. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Herge invented the character in 1929. his books have been translated into more than 50 languages, and about 200 million copies have been sold. In December 1984 the whole series of Tintin began to be published in China. Many Chinese still keep collections of these black-and-white Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan.
