There were others who had tears welling up. They said that they had such a terrible week either with bills or a family death.

In order to attract young audience of new generation and catch up with the time, traditional opera circle makes efforts to create new works. In recent years, traditional opera has come across the change of time and society. It gradually lost the main elderly audience and was not attractive for the young. In order to find new opportunities, using modern sound, light and digital stage effects, China's traditional Peking, also known as “jingju”, Opera is appealing(吸引) to young people in a fashionable and innovative way, as the classic art faces an aging audience. The centuries-old Tianleyuan Theater in Beijing has introduced fashionable performances of Peking Opera.

"I feel today's performance is very special, "Zhang added. She was born into a family of “jingju” performers and has had 10 years of stage experience. "Innovation is good, but we must also carry on the basic elements of “jingju”, "another young performer Deng said. According to Deng, innovation is perhaps the best way for “jingju” to deal with the problem of an aging audience. It has made successful attempts to combine “jingju” with local opera forms such as ballet when organizing performances abroad. "Innovation can help traditional arts go further. We are happy to see many young faces, and some of them even come twice to experience the 'new' art, " she added. 28.Why is adaptation and innovation of traditional opera important? A. To run after fashion. B. To attract the young audience. C. To improve digital stage effect. D. To change the traditional opera circle. 29.Which of the following can best describe Tianleyuan Theater?

A.The Traditional Opera Is Dying Out B.The Future of the Traditional Opera Is Promising C.The Performers of the Traditional Opera Are Supporting “Jingju” D.Traditional Opera Circle Is Innovating to Attract Young Audience D Many people have an immediate negative reaction to the word “fat”. But according to a new study, fat tissue （组织） itself is very, very important for health. It’s an important place to store the extra energy in our body. Fat tissue is supposed to be stored under the skin. If it can’t go there, it’s going to other places such as your liver, heart or pancreas （胰腺）. More fat in those organs could affect how well they function. Exercising regularly over time makes fat tissue a more accommodating place for extra energy under conditions when we do gain weight. To see how exercise impacts fat tissue, researchers compared fat tissue just under the skin from two groups of 16 people with overweight problem: those who reported exercising at least four times a week for at least 2 years, and those who did not exercise regularly. People who had a history of regular exercise in the past had fat cells with features that allowed them to store more fat. Result from the former group showed several structural changes in fat tissue, including slightly smaller fat cells and more of them, and changes in proteins （蛋白质） that adjust body fat remodeling(重塑). However, many of the above changes disappeared when regular exercise stopped. Dr. Horowitz, professor of movement studies at the University of Michigan, said, “This is one of the big reasons why it is so important to be physically active most days. A lot of the body’s exercises help you to keep going longer or push harder in your works.” The key takeaway（结论） of the study is that we’re broadening our understanding of why it is helpful to exercise. There are so many ways to exercise, and figuring out a way to make it part of the daily routine plays an important role. Of course, you should check with your doctor first to make sure it’s safe. 32. What can we learn about fat tissue from Paragraph 1? A. It is most energy-demanding. B. It has little to do with fatness. C. Its location makes a difference. D. Its function is to control health. 33. How are the participants in the research grouped? A. By their health problem. B. By their body weight. C. By their workout habit. D. By their personal hobby. 34. What is stressed in Paragraph 3? A. Weight loss depends on less fat tissue. B. Exercise can reshape protein structure. C. Harder training results in stronger fat tissue. D. Fat tissue is sensitive to exercise frequency. 35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To raise a proposal. B. To present evidence. C. To prove the finding. D. To advance the study. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Four Habits to Help You Succeed We all want to succeed, whether it's in losing weight or learning the guitar.
