　　Wood is wood?

　　Yes, but it's not that simple. Each tree species (种类) grows in a certain way, and that affects (影响) the way its wood looks and performs. Foresters divide trees into two kinds: hardwood and softwood species.

　　Hardwood trees such as oaks (橡树) and maples (枫树) have wood with very short fibers. Paper made from these species is weaker than that made from softwoods, but its surface is smoother, and therefore better to write and print on.

　　Softwood trees such as pines and spruces have wood with long fibers, and paper made from this type of wood is much stronger. This kind of paper is ideal for making products like shipping containers that require great strength. But the surface is rougher, and that's not as good for writing, printing and many other uses.

　　Happily, we can blend fibers from hardwoods and softwoods into a single paper, getting just the combination of strength, whiteness, writing surface and other characteristics that we want.

　　And that's just what we do! Most of the paper you see today is made from both hardwoods and softwoods, a special blend for each purpose.

　　We make newsprint (新闻纸) to be opaque (不透明的) so you only see the newspaper's comics (连环画), not the stock market report on the other side!

　　We make grocery bag paper strong, tissue (纸巾) soft, fine writing paper smooth. Even within the same sort, there's quite a range. Among printing papers, for example, compare the thin sheets of a Bible to the thick, tough pages of a kid's picture book.

　　With its budget of ＄80 million , John Woo as director, and an all-star cast, Red Cliff is the most expensive and ambitious Asian-financed film ever．Last week I saw the release of the second part, and boy oh boy does it shows．

　　But watching the film as a foreigner I felt I was missing out on something．Not knowing my Cao Cao's from my Zhou Yu's, I was not even sure whom I wanted to win．Certainly after the opening scene, in which Cao Cao is seen watching a game of Cuju, an ancient Chinese variation of football, I knew who had my support．After all, any man who enjoys his football is someone after my own heart．But after Cao Cao resorted to some evilness strategies against his enemies in the south, I wasn't so sure he was the man I should be rooting for．

　　And there is a lot more to Red Cliff 2 than just extravagant battle scenes．The film does not take itself too seriously．Conversations between leaders are littered with one-liners, many of which had the audience in laughter．There is even enough to keep fans of more romantic entertainment happy too．This includes a charming relationship between a southern spy(侦探)and an innocent northern soldier．The characters' interaction provides some genuinely heart-warming moments in the middle of the battle．

　　Clocking in at(结束于)around two hours, the film certainly does justice to the history story．When I walked out the cinema, I felt as drained as Cao Cao's soldiers must have 1,800 years ago．
