Kunqu is one of the earliest forms of traditional Chinese drama, having a history of more than 600 years. It is said Kunqu was from Kunshan in Jiangsu Province. Afrer performers reworked, it gradually d 1 into today’s Kunqu. Before the mid-Ming Dynasty, Kunshan melodies were popular in central Jiangsu. Wei Liangfu, a singer made major c 2 to the songs of Kunshan. Keeping Kunshan tunes as a base, he created a new singing style. Kunqu, a new form of drama combining b 3 northern and southern musical characteristics, came into being.

New Zealand fishermen caught a world-record-breaking colossal squid(巨型乌贼).
In the cold, dark waters of the Antarctic hides a creature with eight arms, two super long tentacles(触须)and eyes as big as dinner plates. Sound like something out of a science fiction movie Think again.
On February 21, New Zealand fishermen landed a colossal squid the length of a school bus. They had been fishing with long lines for Chilean sea bass in the waters off the coast of New Zealand when they caught the rare squid. With two hours of hard work, the crew skillfully pulled the creature into a net and dragged it aboard their ship.
Scientists ,evaluate that the animal weighs about a half ton and is about 40 feet long. That would make this colossal squid the biggest on record.
First identified in 1925 after two tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach, the colossal squid has long been a mystery. The animals are not easy to observe because they can go down to ocean depths of 6,500 feet. What scientists do know from studying the bodies of a half dozen colossal squids is that they are fierce hunters.
The recently captured colossal squid has been frozen to keep it for scientific study. It will be transported to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, in the capital city of Wellington. Experts believe it to be the first adult male ever caught undamaged. Scientists hope to learn more about the colossal squid’s diet, behavior and reproductive(繁殖)patterns.
“Scientists will be very interested in this amazing ceature,” said New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderson.“It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment.”
1. What is the colossal squid like
2. How long did it take the crew to catch the creature
3. Is the colossal squid the biggest on record, isn’t it
