Beijing Opera is the most representative of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing(吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic(戏剧的) art integrating music, performance, literature, aria, and face painting.
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics.
In addition to its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers(表演者) of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will be puzzled(困惑的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American
traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.

It's lunchtime. You're hungry and want to get your favourite meal in the restaurant, but there is a queue of people nearly reaching the door. Don't worry in cyber world(网络世界), you can get your meal just by a few clicks.
“Shopping has never been so easy. With just a single click on your mouse, anything that you order online can be taken to your door in no time,” said Bian Jing, who is twenty years old. She took part in an online competition held in Beijing. Each competitor had to go online and buy enough food and drink to last them for 100 hours using the little money given. “I don't want to spend too much time shopping, so I do it online rather than in an ordinary(普通的) store,” said a girl from a middle school. “It's easy to find what you want online as they have catalogues. Shoppers who go online can also find lower prices and wider choices of things they want to buy.”
But many teachers and parents are worried that online shopping is becoming too popular.
“It's not a good way for middle school students to spend their money,” said a teacher. “I don't like them to shop online.” As all the students' money is from their parents, it's said that they aren't ready to pay for what their children have bought online. “There's also the danger that some online stores cheat(欺骗) shoppers,” one of the teachers said.
Most parents, though, don't want to pay the bills when their children spend too much on the Internet. “I hate having to pay unexpected bills,” said one father. “But my son always surprises me with them.”

The Early Years
Duke Ellington was born in 1899 in Washington D.C. It wasn't until Ellington was a teenager that his interest in music grew. He taught himself to play the piano by listening to local piano players. Ellington realized that he enjoyed entertaining people with his music. He soon became a very popular musician playing at parties and other events in the Washington area. Young adults seemed especially to love the modern pieces he composed.
Success in New York
In 1923, when Ellington was almost 24 years old, he joined The Washingtonians, a five-piece group of musicians in Washington, and became the group's leader in early 1924.

If you're away from home, feeling a bit blue or searching for some comfort, the Danes have a solution. It's called “ing from Danish culture, but popular with the British in 2016, hygge is much more than just a word, it's becoming a feeling around the world.
The hygge means the sense of happiness you get when your family is gathered together at New Year or Christmas. It is all about the pleasant feelings of home: the smell of your mother's cooking, your partner's arm around your shoulder and so on.
Hygge is an antidote(良药) to stress. You know when you've got it, a gentle warmth starts spreading through your body. Another important part of hygge is that it has nothing to do with modern technology. It's a period of time to relax your tired mind and eyes. So, put down that smartphone and turn off the computer.
You should also know that hygge is not about healthy eating or more exercise. In fact, it's just the opposite. You're supposed to be lost in what you like: enjoy sweet snacks and calorie-laden cakes freely. Let yourself think of what happened in the past, and remember the childhood songs of your distant youth with a smile. If it helps, wrap yourself in a warm blanket and sleep with one of your favourite books (not a pill or e-reader).
If Denmark seems too far, then think of old Beijing with its hutong and courtyard houses. Picture yourself sit around a traditional stove with your loved ones, eating dumplings and chatting about the old days. Let yourself drift back in time to a period where everything is relaxing, and there is no need to reply to any e-mails or text messages. They did not exist(存在) back then.
Now you've really understood hygge without going to Copenhagen.
An Antidote to __1__—Hygge
Origin(起源) ◆Hygge came from Danish culture. ◆It was __2__ with the British in 2016.
What hygge is ◆You will feel pleased __3__ your family members around. ◆You needn't use modern __4__ like a smartphone or computer. ◆You can eat whatever you like without __5__ about daily exercise.
What people can do __6__ feeling stressed ◆You can remind __7__ of the sweet memories of childhood and relax yourself by reading books that you like __8__. ◆If Denmark seems too far, let yourself think of old things and chat about the old days when __9__ or text messages didn't exist.
It's not __10__ for you to go to Copenhagen as you have known hygge well.

Do you know what you'd like to be when you grow up It takes most people many years to find this out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita,it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.
Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child,she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.
By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist's unusual style of painting. Alexandra's work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra's style of painting was all her own.
Alexandra's first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.
Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.
1. When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures
A. At the age of eight. B. At the age of seven.
C. At the age of two. D. In the year of 1985.
2. Alexandra was called “Little Picasso” because ________.
A. she learned to paint from Picasso
B. her style of painting was like Picasso's
C. she was one of Picasso's big fans

A. Only painting can make her so happy and satisfied.
B. Only money can make her so happy and satisfied.
C. Anything can make her feel happy and satisfied.
D. Nothing can make her feel happy and satisfied.
