Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate(装饰) the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

27、 In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi province. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays, poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.
Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare's England, Tang's works became hugely popular in China too. During Tang's China, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
【1】Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.
B.To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.
C.To explain the importance of Shakespeare.
D.To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.
【2】What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?
A.Social reality.
B.Female dreams.
C.Human emotions.
D.Political environment.
【3】What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?
A.The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.
B.Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.
C.The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.
D.Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.
28、Sensitive children are these special, observant(善于观察的)people. They notice when you're sad, and they ask why. They're often old souls with big hearts who want to make other people happy. 【1】 Why?
Because they're creative(有创造力的). 【2】 They're dreamers. Their creativity shines through in all they do, ideas just coming to them. They show a great appreciation for the arts and they're inspired by the beauty they find in the world. They notice that tiny little caterpillar(毛虫)crawling on the sidewalk and the puffy(松软洁白的)clouds in the sky.
Because they're supportive. 【3】 They believe in people and want to see them do well. They want to make the people they love happy. Sensitive people are often great listeners—they want to know people and understand what they're thinking and feeling. They want to be there for you when you need them.
【4】 They can often bring another perspective to the table because they tend to think differently. They're insightful and reflective—they like to take the time to be alone and spend time with their thoughts. They appreciate calm and quiet moments.
Because they're strategic. Psychologist Dr. Elaine Aron's and author of The Highly Sensitive Child says highly sensitive children are, “ 【5】 ” Our sensitive ones are the leaders.

29、Have you been dreaming of taking a vacation, but wonder whether it’s better to take a solo journey, or have an adventure with friends? In my opinion, there are advantages in both travelling alone and in a group.
Group travel is generally much cheaper. You can get group rates on accommodations, certain modes of transportation, or tickets to tourist attractions. If you’re able to reduce costs, you’ll have extra money to see and do more things.
It is also safer to travel in a group. Do you remember when you were little your parents or teachers used the “buddy system”? It doesn’t only apply to children. It’s especially true when travelling, particularly in unknown places. Nobody can forecast problems or dangers on the way, such as traffic accidents and conflicts with strangers. When you travel with a friend or within a group, you have someone to watch your back.
Travelling with other people can also create shared experiences. For many people this is the best part of travelling — there’s always someone to do things with, laugh with, share stories with, and make memories with. These are just some of the reasons why travelling with friends can be more fun.
However, if you travel alone, you are the boss. There’s no one to tell you where to go or what to do, and you don’t have to make compromises. You can do things at your own pace, on your own timetable. For some people, meeting other travellers is part of the fun of travelling alone. A lot of solo travellers seem to end up in the same spots, so you have a chance to meet other people with the same interests. You can join them and spend some time together, then go your separate ways. Some people take trips alone because they want time to reflect. If you simply enjoy being on your own, or want to be with your own thoughts, without anyone else bothering you, then solo travel might be the way to go.
In general, whether you choose to travel solo or in a group mainly depends on your personality. Think of how you are in your everyday life — do you value your time alone, or do you prefer to be in the company of others? It might not seem like a big deal, but if you’re travelling for any length of time, it could mean the difference between an enjoyable, memorable vacation, and an unhappy trip.
【1】What is the advantage of group travel, according to Paragraph 2?
A.You can save money by sharing a hotel room with friends.
B.You can choose what kind of transportation you want to take.
C.You can do many fun activities and laugh happily with friends.
D.You can visit a lot more places with friends for less money.
【2】What does “buddy system” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.A rule you should follow at school.
B.Your parents’ suggestion for making friends.
C.A way to ensure your safety when going out.
D.A rule of not travelling to unknown places.
【3】What advantage of solo travel is not mentioned?
A.You can decide where to go, when to go, and what to eat.
B.You can join other travellers based on your interests.
C.You can have time to reflect and think alone.
D.You can share memories with your friends after the journey.
【4】What is the author’s attitude?
A.Group travel is better than solo travel.
B.Travelling alone has more positive factors.
C.The way you like to travel depends on your personality.
D.It is not a big deal to choose to travel alone or in group.
