Five years ago, Wang Baoqiang was a nobody to most Chinese people. However, he is now a household film star in China.
Wang is the youngest child of a poor family in Hebei province . Dreaming of becoming an actor, he left home at the age of 8 to study kung fu at Shaolin Temple, since kung-fu actors seemed to appear most often on the big screen.
At 14, he moved to Beijing for his acting career for the first time, with little money in his pocket. He worked at a construction site(建筑工地)for 20 to 25 yuan per day, and spent his free time standing in front of the Beijing Film Studio, eager to be chosen as temporary(临时的)actors.
This was the most difficult time for the boy. His opportunity finally came one day after he went for a role in the movie “Blind Shaft”. He was chosen to play a young coal miner. The movie won him three prizes in Thailand, France and Taiwan. But his success didn’t make any difference to his life.
That year, he went home for the Spring Festival. He gave his family his earnings from the movie, around US$250 and then returned to Beijing with 500 yuan, the same amount he had when he first set foot in the city. His life was as simple as before.
Thanks to his natural performance in “Blind Shaft,” he was invited by the famous director Feng Xiaogang to act in the film “A World Without Thieves” in 2004, which made him famous
immediately. People called him “Shagen,” the name of his character in the movie.
Wang’s latest work, “Soldiers’ Sortie” has made him the most popular actor on the Chinese mainland . For the actor, it’s a dream coming true.
“Dreams come true. I think my life is exactly a course of pursuing(追求)dreams. No matter how tough one thing is, I can make it as long as I put great effort into it,” he said.

RUMULUS AND REMUS AND THE FOUNDING OF ROME

  In ancient times,the goddess Vesta protected the Italian people.The women who served the goddess could not marry and had to keep her sacred fire burning all day and all night.If the fire went out,disaster would come and the woman who had let the flames go out would be put to death.

  Rhea Syloia was a vestal woman,she was also very beautiful.One night the god Mars appeared to Rhea Syloia in all his masculine glory.While they were making love the fire went out,the people were terrified.“Kill Rhea Syloia,”they yelled.However,she was pregnant with the god's twin sons and the law said that a pregnant woman could not be executed until her babies were born.

  Months later Rhea Syloia gave birth.She named the boys Romulus and Remus.A few days after their birth,she was buried alive and her baby boys were put in a basket and set adrift on the Tiber River.The law said babies could not be executed,but the people were afraid to keep them.

  The basket drifted down stream and got caught in needs and bullrushes along the river bank,the babies had not been fed for hours and began to cry.

  A she-wolf who had just given birth to wolf Cubo,heard the babies crying.Wolves were the sacred animals of Mars and the she-wolf could smell the god in the babies as she suckled them,gave them her milk and carried them one at a time from the river to her cave.She raised them with her own baby Cubo and saved their lives.

  One day a farmer found the wolf's cave and took the boys home.He raised them as his own sons.

  When they were grown men,they founded and built the city of Rome.In an argument over its name,the brothers fight.Romulus hit Remus over the head with a shovel and killed him.Then he named Rome after himself Romulus.

  Finally to honor his mother and father he made Mars and Vesta the special gods of the new city,Rome.For its symbol,he designed a statue of a wolf suckling two baby boys.This statues is the symbol of Rome even today.

狼与罗马的建立

  罗马神话中,女灶神Vesta是意大利的保护神,她的侍女不能结婚而且要守着象征魔力的圣火,让它昼夜燃烧。如果圣火熄灭,悲剧就会降临,该侍女将被处以死刑。

  Rhea Syloia是一个美丽的侍女。一个夜晚,火神Mars尊贵非凡地出现在她的面前,他们坠入爱河。就在那个夜晚,圣火熄灭了。人们惊恐万状,纷纷叫嚷:“处死Rhea Syloia!”而那时Rhea Syloia已怀有火神的一对双胞胎。法律规定孕妇只有在产下婴儿后才能被处极刑。

  几个月后,Rhea Syloia产下婴儿,她给孩子起名叫Romulus和Remus。孩子出生后没几天,Rhea Syloia就被活埋了。法律规定不能处死婴儿,但人们不敢留着孩子,于是他们把这两个男孩放入篮中置于Tiber河。篮子卷入溪流中,沿河岸顺流而下。孩子几个小时没被喂奶,开始啼哭。一只刚刚产下狼崽Cubo的母狼听到了啼哭。狼是火神的圣兽。母狼在用自己的奶喂这两个婴儿时觉察到他们身上神的光辉。母狼把婴儿一个一个衔回窝。她救了他们的命,并把他们和自己的孩子一同喂养。一个农夫发现了狼窝,他把两个男孩带回家,并把他们当亲生儿子一样抚养。

  当两个男孩长大成人后,他们建立了罗马城。在一次给城市命名的争执中,Romulus杀死了Remus。后来他就以自己的名字命名罗马城。

  为了纪念他的母亲和父亲,Romulus后来封火神和女灶神为罗马城的保护神。他设计了一座狼给两个男孩喂奶的雕像,把它作为罗马城的象征,这个象征一直沿用至今。

  我国大部分地区,都有着“仇狼”情绪,“狠心狗肺”“子系中山狼”等用语成了最恶毒的话语。而罗马却把狠哺育孩子的雕塑作为城市的标志。谈谈你从中得到什么启示。

Once upon a time, there was a man who was so famous that everyone in his country knew him.
One day, the famous man was sitting in a restaurant with his sister. It must be great to be famous. Everyone tries to please you, and you can do whatever you want to, said his sister. Its quite the opposite sometimes, in fact. Because Im famous, I cant do what I want to, he denied. But look, were sitting at the best table and eating the best food. We couldnt sit here and eat this if you werent famous, said his sister. Ill show you what I mean, said he.
The next day, the famous man picked up his sister and took her to another country. Im not at all famous here, he said. Lets see how we get on. Soon they found a restaurant, but it was very busy, so they had to queue. This wouldnt have happened if you were famous, said his sister, but the famous man just smiled.
When they finally got a table, it took the waiter years to bring what they ordered. And the food supposed to be hot was cold, and the food supposed to be cold was hot! Eventually, the famous man couldnt stand any more and asked to see the manager. This food is awful. We had to wait an hour for a seat, and the service is also very poor. Look, even my spoon is dirty!
Showing his horribly yellow teeth, the manager, smiling, said, Well, thats just bad luck for you. 
Dont you know who I am? asked the famous man.
Ive no idea, replied the manager.
So the famous man and his sister ran away, without paying.
