For the first time in Hong Kong’s history an entertainer(艺人)has been written into middle school text books. He is considered one of the best actors in Hong Kong. Yes，he is Chow Yun-fat.

The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school textbook. Using his experience，students can learn to make the most of their time and to grab(抓住)every opportunity(机会)to succeed.

On hearing about this，Chow said happily，“I really hope that my experiences can make young people understand that one should not be afraid of difficulties and setbacks(挫折)，for they are the only way to success.”

Indeed，Chow has traveled a long and difficult path to reach his success. In 1955，he was born into a poor family in Hong Kong. When he was 17，he had to leave school. He worked in a number of jobs-as a postman，camera salesman and taxi driver. These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles late in life.

Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s.He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of popular TV dramas and files including Shanghai Bund(《上海滩》)and A Better Tomorrow. Since 1985，he has won many Awards including Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong File Awards(香港金像奖).

In 1995，he went to Hollywood. Although he was already in his 40s.He had to learn English. He even put chopsticks in his mouth to practice pronouncing certain sounds.

His film，Crouching Tiger，Hidden Dragon，began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world. In 1998，the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as “Chow Yun-fat Day”.

B

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feeling. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.

Sooner or later every one needs understanding and helping with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty(诚实),generosity(慷慨,大方),and understanding.
