Beautiful and smooth, Kunqu Opera is one of the most loved art forms in China. Born in Suzhou, Kunqu Opera grew rapidly during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). This opera is special for the songs in Suzhou dialect, beautiful body movements, martial (武术) arts and dance. Kunqu Opera has a great influence on many different kinds of operas in China including Beijing Opera, so it is known as the mother of all Chinese operas. Tang Xianzu, the well-known playwright in ancient China, is often compared to Shakespeare. Both of them are famous for writing plays and have drawn people’s attention of different backgrounds. One of the Classic works of Tang Xianzu is “The Peony Pavilion” (《牡丹亭》).

However, over 20 years ago, Kunqu Opera was in a very difficult situation. The rise of other opera forms, the ups and downs of the society, the difficulty in learning Kunqu Opera, all led to its drop.

The turning point came on May 18, 2001, when UNESCO added Kunqu Opera to “masterpieces of oral and intangible heritage of humanity” (人类口头和非物质遗产杰作) list. The government has tried its best to protect Kunqu Opera as well.

In 2008, to help students better understand the opera, Peking University started a course of Kunqu Opera. Experienced performers were invited to teach the performance. Kunqu has become one of the most popular courses in the university. Chen, who teaches the class, said that in recent years it had been around 200 to 500 students. Zhang Miao, 22, a fresh student at Peking University, became a fan to Kunqu because of this class. She says it’s her duty and love to spread Kunqu Opera to people all over the world.

Thanks to all the efforts, Kunqu Opera has been walking into more people’s life.

28. Why do we compare Tang Xianzu to Shakespeare?

①The MBTI, the most popular personality test in the world, shows that there are sixteen kinds of people in the world, but each type only has two choices. Everyone is either extroverted (外向) or introverted (内向), sensing (感觉) or intuitive (直觉), thinking or feeling, judging (判断) or perceiving (察觉).

②Nowadays, more than two million people take it every year. It is used in 26 countries to test workers, students, and soldiers, and used by Fortune 500 companies and universities. Among more than two thousand personality tests, the MBTI is No.1.

③Because of its success, many people started to dig out the story of how the MBTI came out, and Merve Emre wrote it in his book The Personality Brokers.

④The MBTI was invented by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers who were a mother-and-daughter team. In fact, they kept on doing this for almost 80 years. They stayed up late and once were laughed by others. When the mother died, her daughter didn’t give up. She spent the rest of her life researching on different kinds of people, trying to find a way to make work more efficient and people less unhappy. Until now, personality testing has become a two-billion-dollar industry.

⑤The idea of the MBTI comes from real situations in a family. For example, one child is a good planner while the other does not have any plans. One child has a million friends but the other is a loner. There is no one better than the other. Even children in one family can differ in many ways.

⑥The key to the MBTI’s success is from Katharine’s opinion. She believes that you may waste a lot of energy and have a lot of pain if you consider the differences as troubles. Therefore, this MBTI is meant to show the personality is what you have been born with, and each type of personality is as “normal” as the others.

⑦In this case, the MBTI is different from other tests. That is why it is so widely used today. People who take part in this test feel relaxed after finding out their type. It helps them to deal with their work or marriage, making them be themselves.

36. How does the writer describe Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers’s life in Paragraph 4?

A．By giving examples.	B．By telling a story.
C．By listing numbers.	D．By explaining reasons.

37. What is the purpose of the MBTI test?

A．To divide people into different grades and ranks (等级).

B．To help people discover themselves.

C．To decide whether being introverted is good or not.

D．to test the workers, students, and soldiers.

38. If you always prefer staying at home to going to parties like your friends, how will you probably feel after you try the MBTI?

A．Moved and energetic.	B．Worried and nervous.
C．Relaxed and relieved (释怀的).	D．Sad and disappointed.
