A
You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese
Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions（《红楼梦》）, written by Cao Xueqin（1715—1763）. Now the book has been made into an English—language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it comes to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.
Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds（背景）in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign—language opera.
The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese—American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy（悲剧） that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costume（服装） and stage settings（布景）. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.
The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.”
51. Who wrote the opera for the Chinese classic novel A Dreum of Red Mansions
A. Lin Daiyu. B. Cao Xueqin.
C. Jia Baoyu. D. David Henry Hwang.
52. The opera was________
A. sung in poetic Chinese B. first performed in Beijing
C. performed in China after one year D. performed in many languages
53. Which of the following is NOT a difference between the book and the opera
A. The language used. B. The sad love story.
C. The number of characters. D. The whole family’s story.
54. Why did the creators make the book into an English—language opera
A. Because they have backgrounds in Western culture.
B. Because they thought the book was not good enough.
C. Because they hope to help others learn English.
D. Because they wanted Westerners to know about the Chinese novel.
55. The best title of the passage is________.
A. Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu Sing Foreign Opera
B. A Dream of Red Mansions
C The Sad Love Story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu
D. David Henry Hwang’s Opera
B
“Children, tomorrow I shall expect all of you to write compositions,” said a teacher of Love Lane School. “Then, on Friday those who have done the best may stand up and read their compositions to the school.” Some of the children were pleased, and some were not. “What shall we write about ” they asked.
Some of them thought that “Home” was a good subject. Other liked “School”. One little boy chose “The Horse”. A little girl said she would write about “Summer”. The next day, every pupil except Henry Longfellow had written a composition.
“Well, then,” said the teacher, “you may take your notebook and go out behind the schoolhouse for half an hour. Think of something to write about, and write the word on your notebook. Then try to tell what it is, what it is like, what it is good for, and what is done with it. That is the way to write a composition.”
Henry took his notebook and went out. Just behind the schoolhouse was Mr. Finney’s barn. Quite close to the barn was a garden. And in the garden, Henry saw a turnip（萝卜）.
“Well, I know what that is,” he said to himself and he wrote the word turnip on his notebook. Then he tried to tell what it was like, what it was good for, and what was done with it.
Within half an hour, he had written a very neat composition on his notebook. He then went into the house, and waited while the teacher read it.
The teacher was surprised and pleased. He said, “Henry Longfellow, you have done very well. Today you may stand up before the school and read what you have written about the turnip.”
Many years after that, some funny little poems about Mr. Finney’s turnip were printed in a newspaper. Some people said that they were what Henry Longfellow wrote on his notebook that day at school.
56. Some students were not pleased probably because ________.
A. the teacher would not read their compositions
B. they did worse than other students at school
C. they didn’t know what to write about the composition

57. The second paragraph is mainly to tell us that ________.

Once a farmer had a big rabbit and a smart dog. One day, he held a competition between his rabbit and dog. He made a hole in one of his largest fields, and hid a carrot and a bone in it. He wanted to see which animal would find them first.
The rabbit was very excited and he was busy digging everywhere. He was sure that he would find the carrot and the bone. But the dog felt bored. After he looked for a short time, he lay down on the ground. He began to complain. He thought it was impossible to find the bone in such a big field.
The rabbit kept on working hard. When there was no place in the whole field left to dig, he dug a tunnel right under the place where dog was lying all the time. Luckily, he found the carrot and the bone there.
Although the dog was in the right place at the beginning, he lost the competition because he complained and didn’t try at all. When we do something difficult in our life, we should stick to our goals.

A
You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese
Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions（《红楼梦》）, written by Cao Xueqin（1715—1763）. Now the book has been made into an English—language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it comes to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.
Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds（背景）in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign—language opera.
The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese—American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy（悲剧） that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costume（服装） and stage settings（布景）. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.
The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.”

Some of them thought that “Home” was a good subject. Other liked “School”. One little boy chose “The Horse”. A little girl said she would write about “Summer”. The next day, every pupil except Henry Longfellow had written a composition.
“Well, then,” said the teacher, “you may take your notebook and go out behind the schoolhouse for half an hour. Think of something to write about, and write the word on your notebook. Then try to tell what it is, what it is like, what it is good for, and what is done with it. That is the way to write a composition.”
Henry took his notebook and went out. Just behind the schoolhouse was Mr. Finney’s barn. Quite close to the barn was a garden. And in the garden, Henry saw a turnip（萝卜）.
“Well, I know what that is,” he said to himself and he wrote the word turnip on his notebook. Then he tried to tell what it was like, what it was good for, and what was done with it.

Once a farmer had a big rabbit and a smart dog. One day, he held a competition between his rabbit and dog. He made a hole in one of his largest fields, and hid a carrot and a bone in it. He wanted to see which animal would find them first.
The rabbit was very excited and he was busy digging everywhere. He was sure that he would find the carrot and the bone. But the dog felt bored. After he looked for a short time, he lay down on the ground. He began to complain. He thought it was impossible to find the bone in such a big field.
The rabbit kept on working hard. When there was no place in the whole field left to dig, he dug a tunnel right under the place where dog was lying all the time. Luckily, he found the carrot and the bone there.
Although the dog was in the right place at the beginning, he lost the competition because he complained and didn’t try at all. When we do something difficult in our life, we should stick to our goals.

From then on, I listened to the teacher carefully and took notes in English class. I asked my teachers and classmates for help when I had trouble in studying. I finished my homework on time. After class, I kept on reading words aloud and reciting words every day. I listened to English songs when I had time. I planned to read English books every week.
