A (选自外研版必修第二册 Unit 4) When Hamlet meets Peking Opera I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet.As a high school student with English literature as one of my main subjects，I have to! Shakespeare’s Hamlet is probably the most important play by the most important writer in English.Almost everybody knows “To be，or not to be”，right? Having seen quite a few productions of Hamlet and read the play many times，I was full of confidence—until the Peking Opera came to town! Dating back to the 18th century，Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history.Does this mean it’s easier than a Shakespeare play to understand? To find out the answer，I just had to go and see The Revenge of Prince Zidan—the Peking Opera version of Hamlet. Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments，the opera brought a completely new sound to my Western ears.At first，I thought what I heard was a violin，but later I learnt that it was an instrument with two strings called jinghu.Then，seeing the main characters come on stage，I was surprised! The costumes and masks were amazing.The performers of course sang in Chinese，but the music，exaggerated movements and mime helped get the meanings across to the audience.The voices themselves sounded really unique—some of the female voices were so high that I was sure they could break glass! And the stage was really simple: a decorated whip represented a horse，and a screen with Chinese characters，a study.Using such techniques，the opera had transformed a small stage into the whole universe. Easily my favourite part of the show was how the characters moved on stage.I had never seen Prince Hamlet do a backflip before! That was simply incredible.It was so dazzling and energetic that I wasn’t sure if the characters were performers or athletes! Everyone was clapping. Before experiencing The Revenge of Prince Zidan，I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it.But，in fact，I was on the edge of my seat! Feeling the strong emotions of love，anger，fear and grief in the performance，I could easily recognise the theme of Hamlet.So，if you want to see a show that combines music，singing，drama，poetry and costume design with explosive effect，The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes! 词汇积累 1．literature n．文学；文学作品 2．production n．(电影、戏剧或广播节目的)上映，上演，播出，制作 3．revenge n．报复，报仇 4．instrument n．乐器 5．string n．(乐器的)弦 6．get across解释清楚，传达 7．transform v．使改观，使变形，使转化 1．Why is the author so confident about Hamlet?

Michael Jordan matters for sports culture，too.Jordan set the standard when it came to connecting athletes to brands and brands to athletes.Athletes can take care of their brand during their careers and even well into retirement.Shaquille O’Neal is an example，Shuart said.The Los Angeles Lakers legend—though highly celebrated for his basketball career—has built post-basketball success through business opportunities. “There might not have been too much new content in The Last Dance for sports fans who grew up in the Jordan era.But storytelling still provides a path for us to find happiness，” Shuart said. “Above all，even though we know the beginning，middle，and end，the storytelling provides amazing insight and results in a very interesting story，” he said. 词汇积累 1．championship n．锦标赛；冠军称号 2．era n．时代 3．management n．管理人员 4．brand n．品牌 5．retirement n．退休 6．above all最重要的是；尤其是 7．insight n．了解；洞察力；洞悉 1．What is The Last Dance mainly about?
