3 . A TV program "National Treasure” has become a huge hit since last December. It is another cultural TV program on CCTV that has ever had wonderful successes in China, after the "Chinese Character Dictation Competition" in 2013, the "Chinese Idiom Competition" in 2014, the"Chinese Riddle Competition" in 2016, and the "Chinese Poetry Competition" in 2017.

The TV program has ten episodes(集). Across them, a total of 27 national treasures from nine major Chinese museums were presented. The program brings these relics to life and displays their unique beauty through different artistic methods. The opening episode showed three of China's finest cultural treasures from the Palace Museum in Beijing. Famous actors Li Chen, Wang Kai and Tony Leung played the "national treasure guardians" of each item. They told not only the mysteries behind the treasures but also their own stories about them.

Li Chen plays Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and tells the history of a precious painting "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty.

Wang Kai, acting as Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, presented the historical background of "Large Vase with Variegated Glazes". The vase has 17 kinds of glazes(釉) and 12 paintings, and had to be re-fired several times in its production. During the rule of Qianlong, China's porcelain techniques were the finest in the world.

Hong Kong actor Tony Leung is the national treasure guardian of the 23-hundred-year-old stone drum and plays Sima Guang from the Northern Song Dynasty. Sima Guang and his father Sima Chi worked hard to find the real stone drums and protected them in the past.

As a culture show, "National Treasure” aims to bring history to life. We want our viewers to feel that the cultural relics are like people, and that they have their own personalities and lives, said Yu Lei, producer of the program. People's interest in culture as well as the tradition and workmanship of the Chinese nation has become a trend. This has encouraged us to better promote our fine culture. We hope through the program, more and more people will go into museums to enjoy the beauty of relics.

Growing Pains was on television form 1985 to 1992 in America. This was a total of sevenyears, and it told over one hundred and sixty different stories.

The program was about a family of six who lived on Long Island, near New York City.    1    The father was a doctor and the mother was a writer at a newspaper. They had four children. The oldest child was Mike.    2    He did really well in the program.

From the start of Growing Pains, Mike was always getting into trouble. He was caught by the police for driving a car too fast. He promised his parents that he would never ride a motorcycle, but then he hurt himself riding one. However, in the last year of the program, he helped a young boy who had no home, and asked his family to help him care for and support the boy, Though his parents were upset because he often broke his promises, the way he cared for this boy made them proud to have him as their son.    3    He sometimes did wrong things, but also cared for others and was a warm person.

Perhaps another reason why the program was popular in America is that most of its stories were about normal family problems.    4    Like Mike's parents, many parents who work often worry about their children and have difficult decisions to make about them. Even now the show still appears on American TV.

A．Many of the people watching the program had the same problems
