　　Shrek returning to be King?

　　THE green monster and his wife are back. However, they're not just living happily ever after.

　　Shrek 3 (《怪物史莱克3》) opened across Chinese theaters on August 24. This time, Shrek has a new problem. King Harold has fallen ill in Far-Far Away. So he asks his son-in-law (女婿) Shrek to take his place. Shrek agrees. But he doesn't like the job. The green monster likes nothing better than staying in his own swamp (沼泽) with his wife Fiona.

　　So Shrek sets out with his friends to find the King's nephew, Arthur. He hopes Arthur will be the new King. As they're starting out, Fiona tells Shrek she's pregnant (怀孕了). Shrek has nightmares (恶梦) about the future of his children. He worries about this all along the way.

　　When Shrek and his friends finally find Arthur, he likes the idea of being the King at first. But he gets scared when he hears about his future duties. He gets into a fight with Shrek on the ship home. As a result, they end up on an island. But they take the chance to learn more about each other and become friends.

　　At the same time, evil (邪恶的) Prince Charming is back home planning to take over (占有) the country. Fiona tries to stop him while they wait for Shrek and Arthur. But Prince Charming has an evil plan.

　　Will Shrek get back to Far-Far- Away in time to save its people? See the movie and find out.

　　Just one Edison

　　EOPLE never stop questioning Edison Chan's ability. They think fame has come too easily to the 26-year-old Hong Kong pop singer. He's got everything - handsome looks and a rich family. So they wonder if he has the "real talent".

　　However, Edison recently proved (证明) he does. He has appeared in Hollywood films, become "the youngest CEO" in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, and, finished recording (录制) the album Let Me Introduce Myself Again. On August 18, Edison sang songs from his latest album to fans in Beijing.

　　"Lots of people think that Edison would never get things right," he said, "But I would never give up. There's only 'one' Edison in the whole world, and I believe nothing is impossible for me."

　　On his recent album, he's trying to tell people how hard he has to work to get recognition (认可).

　　Edison has been working hard making his records, often sleeping for just three or four hours a day. Once he shut himself in his recording studio for 144 hours.

　　He has also managed to deal with language problems. Since he grew up in North America, it was not easy for him to learn to rap fluently in Cantonese (广东话). It's even more difficult for him to sing in Mandarin (普通话). But he has made it happen by practicing.

　　Now, he's glad to win real support. "If you still think I'm not doing well enough, I'll keep working on that. One day, you'll get satisfied with my effort."
