Being angry is very normal in our life. However, anger is not a good feeling at all. It can
make us feel uncomfortable and get in bad moods. And most people choose to hide (隐藏) their
anger. A research shows that this can seriously affect our health.
Is it helpful for us to shout or break things when we get angry The research tells that when
we deal with our anger like this, it would be hard for us to get on well with the people around us.
The more time we keep angry, the worse result we’ll get. We should deal with our anger in a
proper way. Here are some tips.
First, be clear about what made us angry. Anger can be caused by lots of feelings such as
fear, disappointment and so on. Second, pay more attention to those everyday things that may
make us angry. A great way to deal with anger is to talk about it. The study shows that if we talk
about our feelings, we can calm ourselves down and feel better. What’s more, taking a deep breath
or doing some physical exercise such as jogging (慢跑) and swimming can also help us deal with
anger.
If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and our life will be better.

In October, a new ballet called The Jade Hairpin was performed at the Shanghai
International Art Festival.
It was directed (导 演 ) by Ao Dingwen, a top Chinese performer, and is based on a
traditional Kunqu Opera with the same name.
The story is about two lovers, Chen Miaochang and Pan Bizheng, from the Northern Song
Dynasty (960–1127). They face many challenges but finally learn the meaning of love.
Ballet comes from the West. Many foreign stories have been successfully turned into ballets.
Ao said, “As a Chinese dancer, I want to mix (混合) Chinese opera with Western ballet to help
young people enjoy Chinese culture.”
Ao studied Kunqu Opera for six months and found it very different from ballet. She said,
“The mix is not just wearing Kunqu costumes and ballet shoes.”
In the performance, the dancers’ style is different from traditional ballet. Classic ballet often
shows women dancers as proud swans (天鹅). But in The Jade Hairpin, Chen is a bright and
lively girl. Ao said, “She shows love in a special way, using special expressions (表达) that are
different from traditional ballet.”
Kunqu Opera, over 600 years old, is an important part of Chinese culture. Ao said, “The
beauty of mixing Kunqu and ballet is not just creating something new, but telling stories with a
rich history.”
61．How does the article introduce the topic
A．By listing the performance content.
B．By giving background information.
10
C．By talking about everyday life.
D．By asking a question.
62．What does the underlined phrase “Kunqu costume” mean
A．New glasses. B．Special clothes.
C．White dresses. D．Crazy expressions.
63．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage
A．Ao Dingwen is a college student who studies Kunqu Opera.
B．The Jade Hairpin is about the friendship between two girls.
C．Kunqu Opera is an important part of Chinese culture.
D．The style of The Jade Hairpin is the same as the traditional ballet.
64．What would be the most proper structure of the passage
A． B．
C． D．
65．How is Chen like in The Jade Hairpin
A．Kind. B．Helping. C．Proud. D．Clever.

When winter comes, Harbin turns into a kingdom of ice and snow. It’s the right time and
the right place to experience a real ice palace. 66 It lies in the northeast of China. The
temperature there can reach as low as -30°C． Why do crowds of crazy people throw themselves

with some helpful information to enjoy the freezing festival. Remember to wear warm clothes, and

Dear Kevin:
I am glad to hear from you.
Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles. I like this saying very much. I have a habit of reading books. I often
read books in the libraries or bookshops. I like history books best, because it can bring me back to the past and help me
experience different cultures in different times.
I also like travelling, because it is helpful to my reading. Travelling is another way to learn about the world. Last
summer holiday, I visited the Palace Museum in Beijing. It was amazing to see so many wonderful buildings. I learnt a
lot about the history of Ming and Qing Dynasty. It has opened up a whole new world to me.
I hope you can come to China some day. I am looking forward to showing you around my hometown.
Yours truly
Li Ming
