Last Friday, for our weekly event, we watched Peking Opera at the Qingdao Grand Theatre. As a young man from the United States, it was my first time to watch live Peking Opera, and it was special.
Peking Opera, also known as Beijing Opera, is called “京剧 (Jingju)” in Chinese. It is a
traditional Chinese opera and has a history of over 200 years. It is an art form that combines music, vocal performance, dance and acrobatics(杂技). The works of Peking Opera are mainly based on Chinese history and traditional stories and customs.
The performance we watched that night was called Meeting the Queen and Hitting the Dragon Robe (长袍) The story is from a Chinese classic literature. Bao Zheng was one of the most well-known ancient Chinese government officials in Chinese history. One day, he met an old lady on his way back home. The old lady claimed herself as the mother of the emperor and had been
set up by others. After checking that the old lady was the emperor's mother, Bao Zheng helped her to get back to the capital and she blamed the emperor for all the misery she had suffered. She ordered Bao Zheng to punish the emperor and Bao Zheng hit the dragon robe instead of hitting the emperor in order to save himself from being punished.
When the opera started, we were amazed by the unique sound made by the musical instruments. They were in perfect cooperation with the singing of the performers. Also, the costumes the performers wore were extremely beautiful and attractive as they have several colours and patterns on each one of them. The performers also "told" the story by their movement. For example, a walk around the stage would mean they took a long trip somewhere. Even though it was kind of hard for us to get used to the music and to follow the story, we were glad that we decided to join the event! We look forward to such an event again. It really helps us know more about Chinese culture.
16. Before he came to Qingdao, the writer has never _______.
A. paid a visit to China B. watched live Peking Opera
C. learned about Peking Opera D. taken part in the weekly event
17. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ______.
A. how to watch Peking Opera B. how to develop Peking Opera
C. about some facts of Peking Opera D. about the history of Peking Opera
18. After Bao Zheng heard what the old lady told him, he ______.
A. looked into it first B. had no idea what to do
C. thought she was being set up D. helped her get to the capital in no time
19. Bao Zheng just hit the dragon robe because______.
A. he was told to do so by the queen B. he didn't think the emperor was responsible
C. he didn't want to be punished by the emperor D. he wanted to show the queen that the emperor was right
20. Watching Meeting the Queen and Hitting the Dragon Robe, the writer probably felt_______.
A. bored B. relaxed C. curious D. disappointed

My dream holiday
Everyone has a dream holiday. I hope I can go on a trip to France, because it is a romantic country full of love, flowers and wine.
On the first day, I would go to Paris to visit the famous Eiffel Tower. I want to get to the top of it and have a bird’s-eye view of this modern city. When enjoying the beautiful scenery on the top of the tower, I would be very excited to scream “France! I love you!” The next day, I’d like to enjoy the local French food. I think it will be the most delicious food I have ever eaten. On the last day, I would buy a lot of presents for my friends. Then I would come back by plane.
The trip to France would be one of the most meaningful experiences and I think I would never forget it.
