Traditional Chinese opera is finding new life in a different art form. More than100 primary school teachers came to a training course to pass on the art to schoolchildren. After learning Chinese opera-themed (戏剧题材的) cartoons, they are now confident that they can spark (激发) children's interest.

    These school teachers proved to be quick learners in Chinese opera. They are practising a classic piece of Yueju Opera, a major branch of the Chinese opera family.

    Fang Tingting, the performer of Shanghai Yueju Opera Troupe, said, "I was actually nervous about teaching them, because I thought they may not be interested. But their passion (热情) swept away my worries. I think they will do well in helping Chinese opera."

Cartoons naturally attract the attention of children. Introducing Chinese opera to them in this way proved to be great.

    Liu Hui,a school teacher, said, "The children are really interested in the cartoons. As teachers, we give them some directions and they start to copy something from the opera."

    The teachers also believed this digital method really builds a bridge between the children and this traditional art form. And it really helps them learn the rich culture of China. They are glad to be trained here to take on this task.

A Talk to Myself

    How time flies! I have been a 16-years-old girl now. I'm leaving school soon. I really have a lot to talk to myself.

    Lucky, my teachers are very friendly. They not only give me knowledge but also tell me how to be a man and my classmates are helpful. We share happiness and sadness in our school life.

    However, I'm also upset sometime. I don't take part in outdoor activities quite often because too much homework. I know it's not good for me. I'll try my best to join in more.

    I believe that my life in the future will be more beautiful and more beautiful..

They are students, but they are not in the same school. Linda's school is not near (在……附近) her home. How4is it from her home to school? It's about five kilometers. So she usually goes to school5bus.

One day，only my mother and I were at home. She asked me a question，"1 is the most important part of the body? "2 I was young，I thought sound was very important to us， 3 I said，"My ears，Mom. "

"No. Many people 4 deaf（聋的）， "she said. "But keep 5 about it and I will ask you again soon. "

Last year，my grandpa died.6 w as crying. When it was our turn 7 our final goodbye to him，my mother asked me for the 8 time，"Do you know the most important part of your body now，my dear? "

I didn't know how to answer when she 9 me this. I always thought this was just 10 game between her and me. She saw the confusion（疑惑）11 my face and told me，"My dear，the most important body part is your shoulder （肩膀）

"Is it because it holds up 12 head? "I asked. 

"No，it is because it 13 hold the head of a friend or a 14 one when he or she cries，"she answered. "Everybody 15 to have a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life. My dear，I only hope that you have enough love and friends. And then when you feel sad，you will have a shoulder to cry on. "

One day a little boy asked his father, "What does the word ‘great' mean? Who are great people and 1 do they become great? "

The father asked his son to bring two plants and then told him to plant one of them 2 the house and the other outside the house. The boy did as his father said.

The father asked his son, "Which one of the two plants do you think will be  3  and bigger? " The boy replied, "The plant inside the house will be safer,  4  it will grow bigger, while the plant outside the house is not safe at all. No one will be there to  5 it. It may be eaten by animals."

The father smiled and said, "Let's wait  6 .We will know the answer."

Then the boy  7  for study and after four years he came back to his house. He said to his father, "Look, 8 happens to this plant inside the house and it is safe."

When the boy went outside, he was very  9  to see a big tree. The boy couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't  10 how the plant outside was able to grow much bigger than the plant inside the house.

"The plant outside the house faced four  11  and many difficulties!" the father  12  to his son why the plant outside was bigger. "The plant inside was safe, it didn't face weather changes, and it didn't get proper  13 , so it didn't become big."

Here is the  14  to the question about being great:  15 a great person, one must have failed many times, experienced many difficulties and overcome those difficulties. After that, he is able to become great.

Once there were four beggars (乞丐). One day, they met at an old temple at night. They were very upset because none of them had much to eat.

"I only got this piece of meat today." the first said. "I almost got nothing," the second said, "I just picked up a potato outside the vegetable store during the day." The third said that all he had was a small bottle of salt. The fourth beggar had not done much better, "I only got some old beans, but they aren't very nice!" 

As they sat around the fire, the beggar with only a bottle of salt had a great idea "Let's put all our things together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it." They all agreed. However, the first beggar thought, "I don't want to share. I'll just pretend to throw my meat into the pot. They'll never know and I'll eat my meat alone later." So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. And at the same time the other beggars had similar ideas to him. At that time, the temple was too dark for the beggars to see what the others were doing.

Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should be ready and, in turn, each of them helped himself to it. They drank the hot water in silence, learning that selfishness (自私) doesn't taste all that good.
