The Monkey King

The Monkey King was born from a stone. He wanted to live forever. He was really intelligent and knew what to do. 58他能够把他自己变成72种不同的东西, like a tree,a bird or an insect(昆虫). While he was changing himself, people just watched and couldn’t believe it. He used the clouds in the sky 59_______________ around! One time he flew 108,000 miles on a cloud.

The trouble was, the monkey thought he was the king. But he wasn’t . The Emperor was. So, the real king decided to give the monkey a title(官职)to keep him quiet. 60 But the monkey found out that everyone was laughing at him. He was extremely unhappy and decided to fight. At last, the Emperor asked Buddha(佛) for help.

The Buddha moved a great mountain to fall on top of him. As the mountain was falling on him, he nearly managed(设法) to get out of the way. He didn’t, but he didn’t die, either. The trouble was he couldn’t move. Five hundred years later ,a monk(和尚) helped the monkey get out from under the mountain. That’s when the real story began. You must remember it, don’t you ? It’s a treat story.

Everyone knows London is an important city in England. London was once the biggest city in the world, but now there are many cities which are much bigger than it.①伦敦现在大约有700万人口。It is an old city. Many tourists come from all over the world to visit its famous buildings and hear the famous clock, Big Ben.

Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution(污染).Over one million people use the London underground every day ,but there are still too many cars in the streets. The air       ②      (not be) clean, but it is cleaner than it      ②     (be)100 years ago.

Perhaps the best things about London are the parks. There are five parks in the centre of the city. But for the children, their favorite place is Hamleys, the biggest toy shop  in the world. They can buy good toys there.

Traffic lights are very important to us. I think everyone knows this. But how were they born? Do you know?

Garrett A. Morgan was the father of traffic lights. He was an American. Morgan was born in 1875. His family was very poor.82He left（离开）school at the age of 14. He was very clever. He always looked for better ways to do things. And he liked to make new things. At that time, every American wanted to have a car. Streets were full of cars. The traffic was not good.84“Why not put three lights at each street crossing? They should be red, yellow and green,” Morgan said,“Let them tell cars to go or stop.” So he made a timer（定时器）to change the lights. Now we have traffic lights on the street.

Chinese writer Mo Yan is famous all over the world, but do you know Anna Gustafsson Chen, his Swedish translator(翻译家)?

Chen was born in 1965 in Sweden. ①她很小的时候就开始学习汉语。 Now she is quite good at Chinese. She has been translating (翻译) Chinese books into Swedish for more than 20 years. By the year of 2012, she had translated 20 Chinese novels (小说). She has finished translating Mo Yan’s Red Sorghum, The Garlic Ballads and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out. She has also translated books from other famous Chinese writers, for example, Yu Hua’s To Live and Su Tong’s Wives and Concubines. Chen has won the Swedish Academy Translation Award for her work.

Chen first read Mo Yan’s novel Red Sorghum in the early 1990s. “I read Ge Haowen’s English translation in a bookstore. I found it interesting so later bought the Chinese version and tried to translate it. It took me a long time, because it was not my professional job. I had to translate it only in my free time,” Chen says.

Though Mo Yan wrote the first draft (初稿) of Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out in only 43 days, Chen spent six years translating it.

Chen says her work has ③opened up a window to the world. She says, “④Learning Chinese has let me love more and more about China and Chinese culture.”
