九年级上册课文改编的阅读题Cartoon heroesNemo, a cute orange-and white fish, and Shrek, a huge green monster have won the hearts of young people in China and all over the world. The heroes of popular cartoons are everywhere, on office desks, handbags, and computer screens. But there some cartoon favourites which are older. The cartoon of the Monkey King has just had his 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 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 remembered. 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. 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 backstreet 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.Finally, Snoopy, Charlie Browns lovable dog who lives in his own private dream world, also had his 50th birthday celebrated by Chinas Snoopy fans in 2000.I didnt draw the cartoons only for children Adults who have experienced life understand them better. said the late Charles Schulz, cartoons of Snoopy and the Peanuts cartoons. 1.

When Jos grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance.But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon, Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jos family live in one of those new flatstheres no room for small houses any more.The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with 2,000 pupils. No one knows all their names.It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic and pollution. But its not her fault. She liked her old school.Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be more shops and offices.
