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(占領(lǐng)) Beijing. The officer of the army told Mei to perform for them and promised to give him a reward. Mei refused at the risk(風(fēng)險(xiǎn)) 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.

Decide to Do Well

Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.

I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.

Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.

I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.

At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.

Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked: what do you WANT to do?”

I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.

“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me. ” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.

For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.

It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.

The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.

Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.

Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.

1.When did the writer make the important decision?

A. After he was 17 years old. B. After he was in one of the best classes.

C. When he was a pupil. D. When he was studying in Junior 3.

2.What was the writer like before the decision?

A. His grades became poor.

B. He tried too hard not to act as an adult.

C. He was one of the top students in his class.

D. He did what his teachers and his parents asked him to do.

3.How did the writer make the decision?

A. It was easy for him to make the decision.

B. It was his second time to make the decision.

C. He made the decision seriously.

D. It was his mother that made the decision for him.

4.Why did the writer make the decision?

A. Because his teacher talked with him patiently.

B. Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more.

C. Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.

D. Because his father asked him to think about his future by himself.

5.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The writer made the decision that he should work hard.

B. It took the writer several years to make the decision.

C. After hearing his mother’s words, the writer had tears in his eyes.

D. At the turning point of his life, the writer wanted to have a conversation with his mother.
