         Any introduction to Peking Opera would not be complete without telling of Mei Lanfang.
          Traditionally only men performed in Peking Opera, including the female roles. And Mei Lanfang was
    the very best master of the miss. During his stage life, he combined the traditions of the past with his own
    creations, shaping a style of his own and giving birth to “The Mei Lanfang School”. He was also the first
    artist to introduce Peking Opera to an overseas audience, making it popular to the world. For half a century,
    Mei Lanfang was a household name in China.
         Mei Lanfang began his stage life at the age of 8. His teacher said he showed little hope because of his
    boring eyes. To improve this, he exercised them day after day. He would fly kites and look at them moving
    slowly in a blue sky. He also kept pigeons in order to look at them soaring higher and higher until they
    disappeared into the clouds. Thanks to his efforts, he managed to transform his dull eyes into a pair of bright
    and expressive eyes and win national fame before the age of 20, In over 50 years on the stage, Mei Lanfang
    played no less than 100 differents characters in the traditional Peking Opera performance. He completely
    changed both stage make-up and costumes, and enriched characters’ gestures. expressions and poses. He
    also wrote many new plays, designing the dances himself. The many dances he created form part of the
    great legacy that he left to Peking Opera.
          In 1930.Mei Lanfang started on a successful US tour. There his brilliant performances fascinated the
    audience, making them realize that Peking Opera was a theatrical forrn of great literary and artistic value.

         There is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and
    still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built
    on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook (小溪) flowing into the lake is full and there is still some
    half-melted (半融化的)snow from last winter on the ground.
         The reason why the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plant and
    animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the
    birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark (树皮), and
    are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter, A farmer is working in a field
    planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year. the crop will be between 25 to 40
    percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless
    the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.
         All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous
    gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory
    and highway.
    1. What time of the year do you think it is?
    A. Spring
    B. Summer
    C. Autumn
    D. Winter
    2. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake?
    A. the weather is terribly cold
    B. the area is polluted
    C. the lake is quiet
    D. they have all been killed
    3. Why does the farmer have to plant a stronger kind of seed? Because______.
    A. the soil becomes less and less
    B. few plants can grow because of the pollution
    C. the water in the lake can't be used to irrigate the field
    D. the wind is too strong
    4. What do you think is the best title of the passage?
    A. A Beautiful Place of Interest
    B. A Polluted Place
    C. A Quiet Place in Sweden
    D. A Faraway Mountain Area

         Our "Mommy and Me" time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie,
    and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down.
    "I wish I could take one of my children out alone," said Christie.
         Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I'll watch her other three. And
    when she watches two of mine, I'll take someone out.
         The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me" time. Christie's daughter,
    McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie
    was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. "She's like a different child when there's no one
    else around," Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn't have to make
    an effort to gain attention.
         Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my
    children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close
    to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃的) son, Tom, doesn't stutter once during our activities
    since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who's always a follower
    when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.
         The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child-talking, sharing, and
    laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in
    a while.
    1. What is the text mainly about?
    A. The experience of the only child being with mother.
    B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
    C. The happy life of two families.
    D. The basic needs of children.
    2. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____.
    A. happy
    B. curious
    C. regretful
    D. friendly
    3. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
    A. The daughter acts like a leader.
    B. Sam holds her hand more often.
    C. The boys become better followers.
    D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
    4. The author seems to believe that _____.
    A. having brothers and sisters is fun
    B. it's tiring to look after three children
    C. every child needs parents' full attention
    D. parents should watch others' children

         "Who made your T-shirt?" A Geo letown University student raised that question. Pietra Rivoli, a professor
    of business, wanted to find the answer. A few weeks later, she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path
    from Texas cotton. rim to Chinese factory to charity bin (慈善捐赠箱). The result is an interesting new book.
    The trat ' s of a T-shirt in the Global Economy (经济).
          Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees Rivoli
    from the usual arguments over global trade. She goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises
    around every corner. In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a
    step toward a better are for the people who word there. In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania, she
    realizes that "it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market," where the price of a
    shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color.
         Rivoli's book is full of me able people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the"muddy-sweet smell
    (泥土香味) of the cotton." She says, "Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like Shallo water Texas." Rivoli is
    her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections, She even finds one between the free traders and
    those who are against globalization. The chances opened up by trade are vast, she argues, but free markets
    need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check. True economic progress needs them both.
    1. What do we learn about Professor Rivoli?
    A. She used to work on a cotton farm.
    B. She wrote a book about world trade.
    C. She wants to give up her teaching job.
    D. She wears a T-shirt wherever she goes.
    2. By saying T-shirts "meet a real market", Rivoli means in Tanzania _____.
    A. cheaper T-shirts are needed
    B. used T-shirts are hard to sell
    C. prices of T-shirts rise and fall frequently
    D. prices of T-shirts are usually reasonable
    3. What does the word"them" underlined in the last paragraph refer to?
    A. Free markets.
    B. Price changes.
    C. Unexpected connections.
    D. Chances opened up by trade.
    4. What would be the best title for the text?
    A. What T-shirts Can Do to Help Cotton Farms
    B. How T-shirts Are Made in Shanghai
    C. How T-shirts Are Sold in Tanzania
    D. What T-shirts Can Teach Us

                                                                       Family Matters
         Oliver Darrow, actor, talks about his daughter, Carmen. 
           1    It might have been nice to have more. I would have liked a son,but we just had Carmen.
          I see her as my best friend. I think she always comes to me first if she has a problem. We have the same
    sense of humour and share many interests,except that she's crazy about animals,obsessed with them-she has
    always had dogs,cats,and horses in her life. 
            2    That's when they need their parents most. But as soon as Carmen went to school,she seemed to
    grow up and grow apart from her family, and any father finds it difficult with a teenage daughter. She was
    very moody and had an odd group of friends. There was an endless stream of strange young men coming to
    our house. I remember I once got annoyed with her in front of her friends and she didn't talk to me for days.
             3    We sent her to a good school, but she wasn't happy there. She left because she wanted to become
    an actress.so with my connections I got her into drama school. but she didn't like that either. She worked for
    a while,doing small roles in films, but she must have found it boring because she gave it up,though she never
    really said why. She got married a few years ago; her husband's a vet. They must be happy because they work
    together. and she lores animals. 
           4    When she was younger I used to take her to the opera-that's nay passion-but she can't have liked it
    very much because she hasn't come with me for years. I don't think she goes to the cinema or watches TV
    much. She might watch my films. but I don't know. It's not the kind of thing she talks to me about.
         I'm very pleased to have Carmen. She's a good daughter, but I don't think she likes my new wife very
    much because she doesn't visit us very often. I'm looking forward to being a grandfather one day. I hope she'll
    have a son.
