Every Saturday evening, many people come to an open square in a small town in Xi’an. They want to watch Chen Kun and his friends put on a play. During the play, the audience (观众) can hear them, but they can’t see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet play (皮影戏).
Shadow puppets are made of hard leather (皮革). The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.
During a shadow puppet play, Chen stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Chen and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.
Shadow puppet plays are a traditional Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. To encourage more young people to learn the skills of shadow puppet plays, Chen provides training courses for students to teach them how to make shadow puppets.

Boxing is popular in many countries. Two fighters wear boxing gloves on their hands. The boxers hit each other until one is knocked out or until the final bell rings. Each part of the fight is three minutes long. It is called a round.
Thai boxing is different.
The boxing match begins with music. Then the two fighters kneel and pray to God. Next, they do a slow dance that copies the movements of Thai boxing. During this dance, each fighter tries to show the other that he is best. Then the fight begins. In Thai boxing, the fighters can kick with their feet and hit each other with their elbows and knees. Of course, they hit with their hands, too. Each round is three minutes long. Then the boxers have a two-minute rest. Most boxers can fight only five rounds because this kind of fighting is very difficult.
Thai boxing began over 500 years ago. If a soldier lost his weapons in a battle, he needed to fight with just his body. The soldiers learned how to use all the parts of their bodies. In 1560, the Burmese army captured Naresuan, the King of Thailand, in a war. King Naresuan was a very good boxer. He won his freedom from Burma by defeating all the best Burmese fighters. When he returned to Thailand, his people were very proud of him. Thai boxing became a popular sport.
48. What does a Thai boxing match begin with?
A. A prayer. B. A dance. C. Music. D. A kick.
49. What made Thai boxing a popular sport?
A. Burmese. B. A king. C. A soldier. D. The army.
50. Thai boxing began ______.
A. as a sport B. in the navy C. in the army D. in Thailand
51. Which is the main idea of this lesson?
A. Thai boxing has music before the match.
B. Most Thai boxers can fight only a short time.
C. Thai boxing is different from other kinds of boxing.
D. Thai boxing is the most important sport.
52. Why do they do a slow dance?
A. Each fighter tries to show the other that he is the best.
B. They think it’s a way to protect themselves.
C. The fighters like dancing.
D. It’s a symbol of Thai boxing.

Dear Julie,
Thank you so much for your e-mail. I’m very happy to tell you about my school life.
Now I’m taller, and stronger than before. I like the Basketball Club best because I’ve made quite a few friends by joining the club. Moreover, it’s an excellent chance to learn team spirit. However, I’ve also met some problems over the three years. The biggest one is that I can’t use English grammar. Whenever I am in great need, my English teacher always comes to help me. She is the person who has helped me most in the junior high school. I want to be a teacher like her, I will study hard to achieve my dream. In a word, I enjoy my school life because it’s colorful and meaningful.
How about your school life? Write to me soon.
Yours,
Zhang Ming
