Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forma, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was especially 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. 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. Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera! 58．Beijing Opera is ______.

This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples: If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity（繁荣）. ______In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels （标签） are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful. In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals （葬礼） are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals. Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality. In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation. 63．In which country does the color yellow mean death? A．Britain.

D Have you ever heard of expressive writing? Writing about a terrible or difficult situation is called “expressive writing”. People who do this, record their deepest thoughts and feelings. Doctor Pan, leader of this study of expressive writing as a highly effective way to deal with painful experiences, says these people often show excellent mental and physical condition afterwards. Expressive writing is effective because it allows you to make sense out of an upsetting and even heart-breaking experience. As you write, you are recognizing what is happening around, and accepting that something is bothering you is an important first step. Next, translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts and gives you a sense of control. Thinking or talking about an event seems useful. However, the more you think or talk about it, the more likely you will find yourself in a mess. As a result, you get completely lost in your own emotions and finally lose self- control. Writing works differently as it makes you slow down. The act of labeling a feeling of putting words to an emotion can ease （缓解） the neural （神经系统的） activities in the brain. What if you don’t consider yourself “a writer”? Don’t worry about spelling or grammar. Take it easy when you choose the words or expressions. Only dig into your inner self. The goal of the exercise is to find meaning in an upsetting event. Many people have tried this method. After his father was rushed to the hospital because of a serious heart attack, 43-year-old Alex began to panic. So he did the one thing that would calm himself: he wrote. He thinks of it as a captain’s life buoy （救生衣）. “My expressive writing gave me the courage I need to face my fear and move on,” Alex says. There are a few who are against this approach. According to them, expressive writing isn’t a magical solution. People shouldn’t fully trust the effect of expressive writing. Neither should they think of using it to replace other treatments. People who are faced with a serious mental disaster may not find it useful to do on their own, without medicine. 68．What’s the first step of expressive writing? A．To write down what is bothering you. B．To train yourself into an excellent writer. C．To talk about your feelings to others. D．To think about the bad experience carefully. 69．Who is Alex? A．A captain on a ship. B．The son of a patient who has a serious heart attack. C．A doctor in a hospital. D．The leader of a study about expressive writing. 70．What does the underlined word “panic” mean according to the passage? A．Complain. B．Fear. C．Doubt. D．Guard. 71．What benefits does expressive writing have? a．It has a sense out of an upsetting experience. b．It’s easy to lose your own emotions and self-control. c．It forces you to organize your thoughts when writing. d．It gives courage to face fear. A．abc B．bcd C．acd D．abd 72．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Expressive writing can deal with all kinds of problems. B．Some people don’t think expressive writing as a perfect way. C．Expressive writing can help with serious mental disasters. D．Medicine is not useful when someone has a mental disaster.

In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. 73．______Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it? The answer is, “Yes”! As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” 74．______For example, shrug our shoulders, and, without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true and inner feelings. Moreover, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. 75．______Because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. 76．______It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning forward into the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are delivered through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate （精准的） than the words we use. So it is very important for us to learn body language. 77．______We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships.
