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 (歌剧) in English rather than speaking poetic Chinese?
Jia and Lin are two characters from the 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. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.
Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights (剧作家). Their understanding of both cultures helped them 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 tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters by using costumes (服装) and stage decorations. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.
The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where my parents were born”.
16.What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions from Paragraph 4?
A.It is mainly about the rise and greatness of the Jia family.
B.It tells a love story between Jia and Lin with a happy ending.
C.The book is very long and there are many different characters.
D.The book has always been made into an English-language opera.
17.Why did Timmy Yip compare Lin to water?
A.Because of her dressing style. B.Because of her character.
C.Because of her appearance. D.Because of her life habits.
18.What can we infer from the text?
A.A Dream of Red Mansions is written by Cao Xueqin.
B.Hwang’s parents were born in United States of America.
C.The English-language opera was shown in four cities in China.
D.Timmy Yip knows a lot about Chinese and American cultures.
19.What do the creators of the opera think of their job?
A.Difficult and unbelievable. B.Stressful and difficult.

We know music is very important in our daily life. Do you notice music playing at any of those places when you go somewhere? Today most stores, stations, restaurants and other places play music. You might even hear music in an office or on a farm.
Scientists believe that music influences the way people behave. They think that the sound of western classic (古典的) music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without music, people spend even less.
Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people eat faster. Some restaurants play fast music during their busy hours. This makes people eat faster and leave quickly. Restaurants can make more money in this way.
Some scientists think that music makes you think and learn better. They say that music helps students to be more active. It is true that people learn better when they are relaxed. And listening to music can help you relax.
The next time you hear music somewhere, be careful. It might influence the way you do things.

China's national anthem (歌曲), March of the Volunteers, is a song that we learn at the beginning of primary school and sing while raising the National flag. 25
In September, the government passed the National Anthem Law, which began to take effect (生效) on Oct 1. It tells us how we should sing or play the song, requiring all citizens to honor it.
According to the new law, the anthem is only allowed to be played on certain time and places, such as during important sporting events or when raising the National flag. 26
Primary and middle schools must teach the anthem to their students and make them understand the song’s spirit and history. The law also requires citizens to be serious when singing the song. 27 If someone breaks the law, he or she can be detained (拘留) for up to 15 days, or even punished more strictly in more serious situations.
28 It is the symbol of our country. The law makes sure people will be more serious when playing or singing the song.
29 For example, US school children should put their right hand over their heart while singing their country's anthem at school. In Russia, the national anthem must be played on television and radio before the start and end every day. And in the Philippines, people are required to sing the national anthem loudly when it's played in public.
