The Adventures of Tintin was created by the cartoonist Herge.Tintin,a journalist(记者) for a newspaper, has been popular with people of all ages. But do you know how Hergé created Tintin and his around-the-world adventures?

In fact, Tintin appeared as a young man of age 15 to 19, with a round face and short red hair just like Herge's younger brother Paul. Herge grew up together with him. As a result, Paul's image (形象) stayed in his mind and he created a cartoon hero according to Paul.

It's also believed that a French journalist, Robert Sexe prompted the creation ofTintin. Robert travelled with his best friend Milhoux while Tintin's small white dog, Snowy, had a similar French name Milou.What's more, Robert toured the same countries as Tintin did in the first few of Tintin's adventures.

There is another real-life person in Tintin's adventures. That's “Chang,”a friend of Tintin's. In 1934, Hergé started to write about Tintin's journey to China, but Herge hadn't been to the country yet. To know about China, he made friends with Zhang Chongren, a young Chinese student in an art college. With the help of Zhang, Tintin's adventure The Blue Lotus came out. In this book, Zhangbecame“Chang”under the pen of Herge, introducing real China to Tintin as well as readers in Europe.

Herge's worksgot ideas from his own life. No other stories may cover so much information from the real world like Tintin!

The meeting chairman asked, “Tell us, little boy, will you go with this man and be his son?”

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is the second smallest planet in our solar system. Mars is sometimes called “the Red Planet”because of its colour. But we can't breathe (呼吸) well because there isn't enough air.

Mars was named after the Roman god of war. The month of March is also named after him. It is important to learn about mars because Earth and Mars are always moving. Sometimes, Marsis close to Earth. Choosing the shortest way is a good idea because the journey will need lessPower.

Mars is the safest planet to travel to because :

*its soil has a little water;

*it gets enough sunlight to use solar power;

*there is some gravity (重力) to help us walk;

*a day on the Mars is almost as the same length as on the earth;

There was a fruit garden at the foot of the mountain. Visitors could pick fruit in it. The owner of the garden was very nice. She told me how to choose and pick the fruit.
