In traditional Chinese performing arts, there are many classic roles like sheng, dan, jing, mo and chou. Most people usually pay little attention to chou. However, it is a very important part in traditional Chinese operas. The reason is that it joins beauty and ugliness together perfectly. In the past, the chou performer (表演者) was the first one to get dressed and have his make-up done.
Usually there are two kinds of chou on the stage, wen chou and wu chou. Wen chou often has a white patch(小块) painted around his nose and takes the roles of fisherman, boatman, servant and so on. The other kind is wu chou. Wu chou performers often wear tight clothing (紧身衣) and move quickly. They are good at martial arts(武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in loud voices and play humorous roles such as kind thieves.
Chou performers often make people laugh by their spoken parts and body language, instead of singing skills. Whether they look ugly or beautiful, whether the roles they play are officials or thieves on the stage, chou roles are all humorous characters in funny faces. They use the roles of chou to bring out the good qualities in people. Maybe it is the charm(魅力) of traditional Chinese operas.
Next time, when you are enjoying a traditional Chinese opera, you can probably understand the different beauty behind it.

I looked around the ship. I found some long pieces of wood. I made a raft by tying them together with ropes. Then I got the things that I wanted from the ship. There was a big box of food. I also took many sharp knives and other tools.
There were some hills around me, so I decided to build myself a little house on one of them. After some time, I found a little cave (洞穴). There was a good place to make a home. After a lot of hard work, I had a very fine tent. The cave at the back of my tent was a good place to keep my food, so I called it my “kitchen”. The next day I thought about the possible dangers on the island, so I built a very strong fence (篱笆). I went back to the ship and got some more things.
I went back twelve times, but soon after my twelfth visit, there was another terrible storm.
The next morning, when I looked out at the sea, there was no ship.
When I saw that, I was very sad. “Why am I alive and why are all my friends dead ” I asked myself. “What will happen to me now ”
Then I told myself that I was lucky --- lucky to be alive, lucky to have food and tools and lucky to be young and strong. I said to myself, “I’m going to be on this island for a long time.” So on a long piece of wood I curved (雕刻) these words: I CAME HERE ON 30 TH SEPTEMBER 1659. After that, I decided to carve the date each day.

You probably think the music that your parents like is old and dull, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But here is what scientists found: people’s music tastes change with their age, according to a study. So it is likely that your own musical preferences (偏爱) will follow a similar path to your parents’.
We used to think that culture and personality are the only factors (因素) that affect one’s music choice. But researchers at the University of Cambridge got data (数据) from more than 250, 000 people over the past 10 years. They noticed that as people grow, their music taste changes. There are three musical periods as people grow up: “exciting”, “popular” and “sophisticated (高雅的)”.
The first period comes in the teenage years. People prefer (更喜欢) exciting music such as punk and rock because teenagers tend to be active. But as people move into early adulthood, they hope to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become more fond of popular music, such as pop and R&B, which are usually uplifting and danceable. When middle age comes, things have settled down (安顿下来) for most people. In this period they will like more “sophisticated” music better, such as jazz and classical, as well as more catchy music like country and blues. For many, they feel tired because of work and family, and they need relaxing and emotive music.
But you must be thinking: “Aren’t there old people who are still into rock music Of course there are. But Jason Rentfrow, a research member explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. “We like music for different reasons,” he said, and thus at that age people may listen to music that can remind (使想起) themselves of their youths.
( ) 42. Which kind of music might teenagers like
A. Country music. B. Classical music. C. Rock music. D. Pop music.
( ) 43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. There are four musical periods as people grow up.
B. Middle-aged people hope to build close relationships with others.
C. Old people will never like exciting music like rock and punk.
D. Music like country and blues can make people relax.
( ) 44. What does the underlined word “catchy” mean in Paragraph 3
A. 可抓到的 B. 吸引人的 C. 流行的 D. 容易理解的
( ) 45. What is the main idea of the passage
A. People like different kinds of music as they grow.
B. Different people like different kinds of music.
C. The most popular kinds of music in the world.
D. People should like the same music as their parents.

Visiting Lake Tahoe (塔霍湖) during winter is great fun. Here are the tips for you.
The first thing you should do is to bring more than three layers (层) of clothing. If you don’t, you’ll feel cold.
You should also go skiing or snowboarding for the whole day. If you don’t, your trip to Tahoe will be a waste. Otherwise, there is just baby stuff (东西) like sledding (滑雪橇), snowball fights, or tubing (滑雪圈). Would you want to do these for your stay at Tahoe
Moreover, you should visit Tahoe for at least three days. If you don’t, what’s the point You may have to drive three hours and all you get is a day of skiing and a day of playing in the snow. It would be a waste of time and money. But if you stay for at least three days (two nights), then at least you will enjoy two days of skiing and a day of playing in the snow.
However, here are some things you shouldn’t do at Lake Tahoe.
First, don’t drive on the highway (公路) when it’s snowing. The highway has much traffic and it will be boring to drive.
My second advice would be not to buy ski resort (度假村) food. Last time I tried a ski resort’s fish and chips, they tasted like cement (水泥). You can buy some snacks at Costco or some other supermarkets near your hotel.
My last tip is to be careful when you ski by yourself. Though you know how to ski, you still may fall down, get hurt, or even die. Millions of people get hurt every year when skiing or snowboarding.
根据上面短文内容填空（每空不限一词）
72. It is very interesting _______________________ Lake Tahoe. The passage gives visitors
_______________ pieces of advice on what they should and shouldn’t do at Lake Tahoe.
