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 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 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. 46.

It features visiting many places of interest in a short period, most often on weekends. Most of these visitors are college students, reported China Youth Daily. Fu Xingya in Shanghai University of Accounting and Finance is one of them. The 22-year-old started her tour in March after being deeply touched by such experiences of Xiaohongshu travel bloggers( 博 主 ) . “Tapped in school for almost 3 years because of COVID-19, I'm now hungry to take trips, ”said Fu. ① Most of her trips were started from her daily life, such as a chat with friends. “But making a plan carefully for the trip is important, ”Fu said. She found lots of information before travelling. That would help save time when travelling and enjoy the places better. ② Her last trip was to Shanghai. Starting at 7 am, the 22-year-old visited nine local places. “That day, I walked almost 30, 000 steps, ”Fu said, “Though it's a bit tiring, I enjoy this trip as much as days-long trips. ” ③ Unlike Fu travelling in nearby cities, Wang Jiajia, a doctoral(博士学位的)student in Shanghai, likes to travel far to get herself free from schoolwork. In April, the 24-year-old took a two-day trip to Xi'an, Shaanxi. During her trip, she visited all the famous places in the city. “Such a trip can bring a bright colour to my busy life!” said Wang. ④ “It's labor-consuming(消耗体力的). Visitors try to see as many places as possible in a short period, ”Wang said.

A tsunami(海啸)hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant(福岛第一核电站)in Japan in 2011. It broke the nuclear reactors (核反应堆), so the reactors became very hot. Since then, workers have been using a lot of water to keep them cool. The water touches the reactors, so it has a lot of radioactive materials(放射性物质). Nuclear wastewater (核废水)is different. It's the waste from a normal power plant. The rules on whether or not the wastewater can be put into the ocean are clear. So processed(处理过的 )nuclear wastewater is often seen as safe. But nuclear-contaminated water is not. Japan tries to mix the idea of the two kinds of water. The country says that the contaminated water goes through a special purifying process(过滤程序), and that it doesn't hurt people's health. However, the water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive materials. Many of them are still unprocessed. "The materials will in the end hurt people's health, "Wang You, a Chinese ocean scientist, told CCTV News. China started to stop buying seafood from Japan on Aug 24. Restaurants must not buy or use such seafood As of Aug 28, both Russia and Thailand said that they were testing the seafood from Japan. 58. Which one is NOT true? A.

Nuclear-contaminated water doesn't harm people's health after purifying. D. The processed nuclear wastewater can be put into the ocean. 59. How did the nuclear-contaminated water in Japan come into being? A. Japan put no rules on the wastewater from normal power plants. B. Japan used water to make the nuclear reactors work. C. A tsunami brought water to Japan's nuclear powerplants. D. Japan used water to cool down nuclear reactors. 60. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The foods from Japan that are unsafe. B. What China is doing after Japan's actions. C. Which countries have stopped eating fish from Japan. D.

But if you're at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact ( 交 流 )with the interviewer.

But in Mexico, the whole interview might not be formal, which makes the interviewee think he is talking with an old friend. 21. Are the forms of job interviews the same in different countries ? 22.
