Tsai Chin-chung is one of Taiwan’s most famous cartoonists, and his cartoons are enjoyed by people in many different countries in Asia. His books of cartoons have now become best sellers in Singapore, Malaysia, and even Japan.
As soon as he could hold a pencil or a brush, Tsai Chin-chung lived only for drawing. Every day he practised drawing people and things around him as well as characters and scenes from his favorite stories.
When he was only 15 years old, he left home to work for a publisher in Taibei. At first he was only 15 years old and he worked hard to draw pictures for books. So two years later he decided to leave his job as an artist who draws pictures for books and to work on drawing cartoon series. He made up his mind to succeed as a cartoonist even if it meant “living on instant noodles” in order to make himself famous.
Now nearly 50 years old, Tsai Chin-chung has achieved something unusual for a modern cartoonist. He has become extraordinarily successful at changing Chinese literature and philosophy into humorous comic stories. In this way, he had made the Chinese classics known to thousands of people.
In recognition of his great achievement, several years ago Tsai Chin-chung was given a prize as one of the 10 Outstanding Young People of Taiwan. Since then, he has won many prizes and his cartoons have become popular in countries and areas throughout Asia, America and Europe. So far, he has published more than 20 comic books. Ten of these are about ancient Chinese philosophers, and the remainder are based on Chinese historical and literary classics.
Many of Tsai Chin-chung’s books of cartoons and comics have now been published in English in countries and areas like Singapore. His books have also been translated into several other languages, including Japanese, Korean and Thai. Even publishers in countries like France and Indonesia have recently signed agreements for permission to publish his cartoon series.

C
FOR many of us, cartoon strips(连环画) are simply one of our pastimes. The popular Japanese manga provides us with an escape from reality into a world of fantasy, adventure and romance. With much less text and pictures running for pages, it fits perfectly into today's fast, throwing away city lifestyle.
But Tsai Chih-chung, a famous Taiwanese illustrator (漫画家), doesn't agree. He believes cartoons can be a bridge connecting traditional Chinese culture and wisdom with the modern world in a much more wise and acceptable way.
He has interpreted(演绎) Lao Zi, Confucius, Mencius, Zhuang Zi and Sun Zi and made their works accessible to a global audience. He has also produced two books about Zen (禅宗), introducing oriental philosophy(哲学). His cartoons are humorous yet full of wisdom and are admired as an easy way to learn Chinese classics.
After avoiding the public for ten years, Tsai made a comeback in late April with seven new works. But does his age, 61, work as a gap between him and his young readers? Tsai doesn't think so.
The topics he has covered range from philosophy in a time of individuality(个性) to the learning and memorizing techniques used at school. "Every child is a genius and has the potential beyond his own imagination," he said.
If popular Japanese manga is simply for entertainment, Tsai's work, to a large extent, is to light the power of thinking in a light-hearted way. Tsai uses different forms of water to refer to people. In his eyes some people are like an ocean, some are like vapor , while others may be ice or rain. But in essence they share a similarity – human being's forever chasing for the true and the good.
"The person who thinks over life issues is not necessarily a scholar or a philosopher," he said. "I've devoted my whole life to thinking and individual freedom, not making a living."
64.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Tsai’s work fits today’s city lifestyle.
B.All of Tsai’s works mainly introduce eastern philosophy.
C.Tsai’s works are humorous as well as full of wisdom.
D.Tsai’s works are not involved in children’s study.
65.What’s the word “vapor” mean in the 6th paragraph?
It means .
A.a kind of food B.a form of water C.a form of solid D.a kind of people
66.From the passage we know that .
A.Tsai once stopped writing his works for ten years
B.Tsai writes his works in order to make a living
C.Tsai thinks everyone should be a scholar or a philosopher
D.Tsai doesn’t think there is a gap between him and his young readers
67.In the author’s opinion, .
A.Japanese Manga is more valuable than Tsai’s
B.Tsai’s works are more valuable than Japanese Manga
C.Japanese Manga is as valuable as Tsai’s
D.Both Japanese Manga and Tsai’s works are valueless

Five tips to deal with stress
Stress, the biggest enemy of the modern world! It kidnaps our peace of mind, tortures our evenings, when we return home from work and murders those beautiful moments. But like all enemies, this enemy can also be got rid of!
Put your body in motion.
Moving from the chair to the couch while watching TV is not being physically active! Physical activity is one of the most important ways to keep stress away by clearing your head and lifting your spirits. Physical activity also increases endorphin levels—the natural “feel-good” chemicals.
Laugh
Some say that laughter is the best medicine—well, in many cases, it is! Did you know that it takes 15 facial muscles to laugh? Lots of laughing can make you feel good—and, that good feeling can stay with you even after the laughter stops. So , head off stress with regular doses of laughter by watching a funny movie or cartoons, reading a joke book, or even make up your own riddles…laughter can make you feel like a new person!
Everyone has those days when they do something really silly or stupid. Instead of getting upset with yourself, laugh out loud! No one’s perfect! Life should be about having fun. So , lighten up!
Have fun with friends.
Being with people you like is always a good way to get rid your stress. Get a group together to go
to the movies, shoot some hoops, or play a board game—or just hang out and talk. Friends can help
you work through your problems and let you see the brighter side of things.
Spill (发泄)to someone you trust.
Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up inside, talk to someone you trust or respect about what’s
Bothering you. It could be a friend , a parent, someone in your family, or a teacher. Talking out
your problems and seeing them a different view might help you figure out ways to deal with them.
Just remember, you don’t have to go it alone!
Lend a hand.
Get involve in an activity that helps others. It’s almost impossible to feel stressed out when you’re helping someone else. It’s also a great way to find out about yourself and the special qualities you never knew you had! Signing up for a service project is a good idea, but helping others is as easy as saying hello, holding a door, or volunteering to keep a neighbor’s pet. The feeling you will get from helping others is greater than you can imagine!
Remember , you’re not alone—everyone has stresses in their lives…it’s up to you to choose how to deal with them.

Beatrix Potter was a great English writer and artist, best known for her children's books featuring animal characters such as in the children's classic -- The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
Beatrix was born into a rich London-based family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters.
During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in Scotland and also the Lake District. It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife. She studied the area's natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously. But her old-fashioned, Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement, thinking it inappropriate for a young lady. However, her study and watercolour paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology.
In her 30's, Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid's book, The Tale of Pew Rabbit. Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne. This caused a great disagreement with her parents, who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status. Sadly, Warne died before the marriage ceremony.
Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating (绘图) kid's books full-time. Using profits from her books, Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District. She extended the property with additional purchases of neighbouring land over time. In her 40's, Bestrix married William Heelis, a local lawyer. She ended up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children. In all she authored 23 publications.
Beatrix died on December 22, 1943, and left the majority of her property to the National Trust. Her books carry on selling well globally, in many different languages. Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet, movies, and cartoons.
Such is her reputation, and that of the characters from her publications, that many Beatrix Potter statues have been created. These tiny Beatrix Potter statues which include pretty much all the actual characters in her publications have become highly valued by art collects and fans of her literature throughout the world.
