26、Beijing Opera is the most typical of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing (吸收) many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic (戏剧的) art including music, performance, literature, aria(唱腔) and face painting.
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics(杂技).
Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will be puzzled (困感的) all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic background.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!

27、The closest thing to our heart is family. Most of your “firsts” happen with your family. Naturally, this leads to the establishment of a tradition. Family and its traditions greatly influence a child. Most families pass on family values as a tradition, so that parents help their children become better individuals through them.
For parents, the teenage years of their child are a test. The values you have taught your kids are put to use. The values you put in your child in the early years keep your child from walking the wrong path even when times get tough.
Many families hold the tradition of having dinner together. The flavor(滋味) of love and togetherness makes you forget about your bad day. Merely a simple meal with your loved ones can lighten your shoulders like no other thing. Small traditions like sharing a meal or cooking on Sundays help you stay connected to your family.
Having traditions makes you feel special in your own space. When you have things in common, you’ll enjoy the company a little more, and no other company is better than family. Lastly, traditions may not necessarily be celebrated each year; they can be enjoyed in their own sweet way on the dining table, kitchen, or even at the door.
Daffnee Cohen told Healthy Cells Magazine in an article, “Tradition is one of the most beautiful beliefs we have created and experienced as living and loving humans.”
In the current fast-paced life, family traditions bring in moments you wish to keep for a lifetime. They shape you, comfort you, give you a sense of belonging, create unforgettable memories, and make you better and stronger individuals. So, instead of doubting their presence, treasure each moment.

29、In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad;that it sets one person against another;that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often life and death affairs.In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success,the development,of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However,while sonic seem to be lost in die desire to succeed,others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying,they always have an excuse:“I may have lost,but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
【1】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Opinions about competition are different among people.
C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
【2】Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

B.It builds up a sense of duty.
C.It improves personal abilities.
D.It encourages individual efforts.
【3】The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .
A.those who try their best to win
B.those who value competition most highly
C.those who are against competition most strongly
D.those who rely on others most for success
【4】What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?
A.One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.
B.One’s success in competition needs great efforts.
C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D.One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.
