The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and puter screens.But there are some cartoon favourites which are older. The cartoon of the Monkey King has just had its 40th birthday. 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 bee a mon expression used by a parent or a boss when they return to the house or office and see a mess.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 jungles, the backstreets of Shanghai and even the surface of the moon. Tintin has been popular for 75 years, ever since Belgian cartoonist Herg233。 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 blackandwhite Tintin books. There are several fan clubs in China which have held birthday parties for Tintin in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown39。s lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also has his 50th birthday celebrated by China39。s Snoopy fans in 2000.I didn39。t draw the cartoons only for children. Adults who have experienced life understand them better, said the late Charles Schultz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons.Module 10 Unit 1Listen and read.Lingling:How was your basketball training?Tony:It was OK, but I39。m a bit tired.
