How does a ninja(忍者) practice his skills every day? How sad can someone be at a funeral(葬礼)? What if Cupid’s love arrow(箭) hits the wrong person?

Just free your imagination and you’ll still be surprised after you watch Wang Zi’s mime(默剧)performance.

Wang, 31, is a professional mime from Beijing. He has been practicing the art for nine years and was named the best performer at the Wuzhen Theater Festival in 2017.He performs through body language instead of words.

According to Wang, mimimg sometimes can be very exaggerated(夸张的) that it looks like a cartoon, which is something the audience rarely sees in normal performances. “Miming is a very free form of art for both the performers and the audience,” he added. “Whatever language you speak, you can understand it. It’s all about imagination and that’s the biggest attraction of miming.” Mimes still have to have good acting skills, of course. “Everyone knows how to speak, but it requires years of training to make your body expressive,” Wang explained. To improve his performances, he has borrowed skills from other art forms like voice stunts(口技) and the audience interaction seen in clowning(扮小丑).

Nine years ago, when Wang graduated from the Performance Institute of Beijing Film Academy, he became interested in miming but couldn’t find a teacher to learn from. He explored on his own and later founded the Nadading Troupe(拿大顶剧社), which is said to be Beijing’s only mime troupe.

Although miming is still not a big thing in China, it’s a “direct art”. “Once you watch it, you can feel it,” Wang said.

34. When did Wang Zi start to learn miming?

A．At the age of 9.

B．After graduating from college.

C．After winning an award in Wuzhen.

D．In 2017.

35. According to Wang, what is needed to understand miming?

A．Body language.

B．Knowledge.

C．Imagination.

D．Language.

36. What might Wang agree with?

A．Miming is easier to perform than other kinds of art.	B．Miming tells a story the same way cartoons do.
C．Miming will become a popular art form in the future.	D．It takes more than just acting skills to mime.

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you only if you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away.

How do I know when I have found a good friend?

Above all else, I think understanding is the most important. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to give his opinion. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful.

A good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a reliable friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need help, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me. If I have any secrets, I can always share with him and he’ll keep them for me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest and understanding, I know I’ve found a true friend!

37. If you have fair-weather friends, ________.

A．they will give you all that they have when you need help	B．you will be refused when you get into trouble
C．you will become rich	D．you can be sure that you get-real friends

A．the qualities of a friend	B．where to choose friends
C．how to get along with friends	D．the importance of having a friend

Delia was a young pianist with a kind, generous nature. Her husband Joe was a young painter who is honest and hardworking. They lived in a small flat after they got married.

Each of them was taking lessons—Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but... when you love your art, nothing is too much.

And soon the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more. Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man’s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano and he was going to pay her 50 dollars an hour.

“Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you go on with your lessons.” Delia said that it didn’t matter. She said, “When I’ve earned some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing is too much.” But Joe decided that he was also going to stop his lessons and paint pictures and try to sell them.

A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took 200 dollars from his pocket. Delia laughed and asked him where he’d got it from. “A man from Vermont bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!” So the two of them were happy for a while. They didn’t have to worry anymore about finding the money to buy food and pay the bills. They missed their lessons, but that didn’t seem to matter.

Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was covered in a bandage(绷带). He asked her what had happened and if she was all right. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally asked me to make some coffee for her. So I did and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand. But she went straight to the medicine shop and got this bandage for me.”

Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked. She tried not to tell him, but then the tears began. “Oh Joe, I couldn’t get students so I got a job as a waitress in a restaurant. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can't work any more. I’m sorry, Joe, but we'll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”

Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a medicine shop, and today someone came from the restaurant to buy bandages fora woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you—well, I guessed.”

They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art, ...” Delia put her fingers to his lips. “No, Joe,” she said. “When you love someone, nothing is too much.”

Are you a Disney fan? Do you know the princess well? How did Snow White survive? How did sleeping beauty finally wake up after sleeping a long time?

It seems a kind-hearted person always comes to save the princess, like a prince or god-mother. Princesses can’t protect     51     (they), though they are very pretty and nice. They always need the help of     52     (other).

However, in real life, women can’t put their life in the hands of a prince-like man. They need to work and even fight for their own     53     (happy). The traditional image (形象) of a prince has got out of date.

Recently, Disney posted the “top ten rules for a modern princess”. You     54     (find) them have nothing to do with beauty. Instead, more attention     55     (pay) to things such as being honest, caring for others, trying your best and living     56     (health). Princesses need to depend on themselves to get out of trouble. It’s not wise     57     (wait) for a prince’s help. It’s not the first time Disney princesses     58     (catch) up with the society development. In1950, Princess Bell     59     (love) reading when education was a man’s special right. Bell showed the improvement of women’s status (地位) in society.

Princesses are still beautiful, but the inner character is     60     (important) for being a real princess.

As a teenager, you’re on your way to become an adult. It’s a time of important changes and questions.

A lot of these questions are about your identity and who you are. You’re an individual(个人), but you’re also a product of your family life, your social environment, and your culture. You may choose to spend more time with other people who have something in common. That’s natural.

Then there’s personality, or the qualities that make you different from other people. If you love parties and are interested in meeting lots of new people, you’re probably outgoing and confident. If you’re energetic or you like to take a risk, you might like hiking, or getting together with friends to travel to an unknown forest!

Personality is tricky(狡猾的). Friends think you have a great sense of humor, but your brother might think you’re not humorous. You may see yourself as confident because you’re sure to get what you want, but others may feel you’re unwilling to take advice. You may feel shy, while other people may think you’re unfriendly. You may think you’re fair, but you may still seem unkind to a friend.

Understanding yourself and how others see you can really be a question!
