   Beijing Opera is our national opera. It came into being after 1790 and has a history of over 200 years. Its music and singing came from Xipi and erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. There are four main roles in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Beijing Opera is full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, wonderful gestures and fighting. Some of the stories are from history books, but most are from famous novels. The people in the stories usually can’t agree with each other. They become angry, unhappy, sad and lonely. Sometimes they are frightened and worried. Then they find a way to make peace with each other. Everyone is usually happy in the end.

Beijing Opera is an important part of Chinese culture. In China it used to be popular with old people while young people didn’t like it very much. However, more young people are becoming interested in it nowadays. And more people around the world are learning about Beijing Opera’s special singing, acting and facial paintings.

Trees are useful to man in three important ways.

The first important way is that they provide man with wood and other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees, many animals could not live on earth. It’s not easy for man to live on earth, either.

The second important way is that trees give us shade（阴凉）. On a hot summer day, people are eager（渴望）to have a rest under the tree after they have a long walk. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.

The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods（防止干旱和洪水）. However, in many parts of the world, man hasn’t realized the third way. They cut trees down in large numbers. In the end, they find that they have lost the best friends they had.

Li Shizhen was born in 1518. His father was a person who was interested in Chinese medicine. Li Shizhen often saw that people fell ill. He decided to study medicine so that he could help people who were ill.

Li Shizhen read many books about medicine. He found that many of the old medical books were full of mistakes. So his wish was to write a new one.

He did his best to study medical science. He studied not only herbs（草药）in his own garden, but also the wild ones. He set out to collect herbs and talk with old peasants. He learned a lot from curing（治疗） patients.

After many years of hard work and study, Li Shizhen finished his great work Ben Cao Gang Mu （《本草纲目》）. At that time he was sixty. His book is now one of the greatest contributions of the Chinese people to the medical science of the world.
