Beijing Opera is one of the traditional Chinese drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was very popular in south China during the 18th century. Theatrical (戏剧的) art forms in many other countries do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together 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 doesn’t speak or sing. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment (娱乐). It includes spoken parts, singing and dancing.
Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries. “You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background.” This is how one traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.

It’s easy to hear one side of a story about a person and judge (评价) the person right away. 31 If your friend just had an argument with someone and told you the person’s faults (缺点), you might begin to develop a sense of hate against the person. But here’s the truth: every argument has more than one side that needs to be considered.
32 When you only listen to one side of a story, it’s like watching a movie, but only some certain scenes. This way, you’ll miss many parts that can influence your understanding of the whole story. By learning both sides of a story, you can get a clearer picture of it and a better understanding of people’s relationships.
For example, your sister is now upset because she didn’t get the invitation to her friend’s birthday party. 33 But, what if her friend only invited her family to the party Her friend didn’t want your sister to feel uncomfortable at the party so she didn’t invite her. Then you’ll understand how thoughtful her friend is. 34
Remember that there are always two sides of a story. It’s certainly not wise to consider only one side of the story. Judging someone before hearing the whole story is dangerous. 35 Don’t make such mistakes and never judge others before walking in their shoes.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A．It’s so common that we’ve all probably done that.
B．Why is one side of a story not good for judging a person
C．In doing so, you might pass the truth and make serious mistakes.
D．You no longer think of her friend as unfriendly but understanding.
E．After listening to her side, you might think of her friend as unfriendly.

As the powerful singing voice of 71-year-old liu Aibang shoes (回荡) across the classroom, students control shadow puppets (皮影木偶) with thin straight pieces of wood, making them step onto the “stage”—a cloth screen provided with light from behind. Those sitting in front of the stage play music on drums, suona and other instruments.
This is a Daoqing Shadow Puppetry class at Longdong University. Besides liu, the other performers of the show are all college students. Starting in the Han Dynasty, Daoqing Shadow Puppetry has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名单) since 2006.
However, with technologies becoming more and more popular, many performers moved on to other jobs. Faced with the choice between protecting this art and making a good living, Liu chose to stay on.
One day in 2020, Liu got a phone call from Zhao Zhixue, the director of the music school at Longdong University. Zhao told him that the school planned to introduce Daoqing Shadow Puppetry into college classrooms. “We want to develop young students’ long-term interest in intangible cultural heritage,” said Zhao.
Excited by the news, Liu became a part-time teacher at the college. He came to school twice a week, teaching a two-hour class each time. Lis hopes to train more young people. “Just as true love is not a one-man show, the inheritance (传承) of cultural heritage necks efforts from both the old and the young,” Liu said.
