The film Forever Enthralled was directed by the director Chen Kaige, and famous stars acted in it, such as Li Ming and Zhang Ziyi and Chen Hong. This film shows Mei Lanfang’s life as a master of Beijing opera.

Mei grew up in a family of Beijing opera performers. He began to perform on the stage in 1904 when he was 10 years old. He learnt his acting skills and played female roles. Singing, dancing, and acting are the three main parts of the traditional Chinese opera. Mei Lanfang became highly good at all of them. He turned himself into a performer of almost all types of the “Dan” female roles. After many years of effort he enabled(使得) the Dan to have an important place in Beijing opera, with a clear-cut form for new comers to follow and develop. In his 50-year stage life, he used new acting skills and made lots of good operas.

In July 1937, the Japanese army occupied(占领) Beijing. The officer of the army told Mei to perform for them and promised to give him a reward. Mei refused at the risk(风险) of his life and from then on he did not appear on stage during the war. His decision to give up made him poor until the war ended in 1945.

Mei Lanfang was the first artist to introduce Beijing opera to foreign countries. He had his opera tours abroad, and people in other countries started to understand this kind of play. After 1949, he became the symbol of Beijing opera through making a great contribution to the development of Beijing opera.

Otters are animals that live near and around water. There are many different kinds of otters. Some live near rivers, and some in the sea. Otters live on every continent(大洲)except for Australia and Antarctica.

Otters are long and slim animals with four short legs. They usually stay on all four legs, but they can stand up as well. They are excellent swimmers and spend a lot of time in water，lively and energetic. Some kinds of otters live in groups, while others are almost always alone.

They have a thick fur coat that keeps them warm even in freezing(极冷的) water. Their fur is often brown at the top, and lighter on the bottom of the otter. They eat meat and hunt for fish and small animals, so they have sharp claws(利爪) and teeth to catch prey(猎物).

Otters must eat a lot of meat to live, so they spend 3 to 5 hours per day fishing and hunting. They can die of hunger more quickly than most animals. They eat fish, crayfish, crabs and frogs. They will also eat any small animals and birds they can catch. Much of their food is found in water. They dive in rivers, lakes and streams until they can find an animal to eat. Once they catch it, they bring it to the top of the water. If the animal has a hard outer part, Otters can use a rock as a tool to break open it.

Ten-year old Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The young boy didn’t look the same as most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people. “I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince, but I kept asking myself who I was,” said Obama.

However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Barack Obama became the first black president in U.S. history. Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His father is an African(非洲人) and his mother is a white American. This unusual background made him want to know who he was. With the help of his friends, Obama finally went to college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard University, a famous university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Later, he became the third black senator(议员)in U.S. history.

During his competition for U.S. president, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than a white America or a black America. Obama’s success is a historic victory(胜利). It made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his character.
