Ambroise Thomas (1811-1896) achieved success in opera with Mignon and Hamlet. He was also highly regarded as a teacher and as the director of the Paris Conservatory. The libretto ( 剧本) for Hamlet was written by Michel Carré (1821-1872) and Jules Barbier (1825-1901), a team of dramatists whose other operatic co-productions include Gounod’s Faust and Roméo et Juliette and Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann. The opera is, of course, based on the play by William Shakespeare (1564-1616), whose works have inspired generations of artists for the last four centuries.

2 . The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one. According to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly adequate pushbike for £300, but most ebikes cost over £2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike
Carbo Model X
Price: £ 2,799|Weight: 13.3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oil y chain.
Most stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from £ 2,995|Weight: 19kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is its electric version. It’s a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in an y bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option
Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: £ 5,380|Weight: 28. 4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality — if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
1. What is the advantage of the Temples over other stylish ebike brands?| A．They are more light weight. | B．They are more comfortable. |
| C．They have more functions. | D．They have easier access to service. |
| A．Carbo Model X. | B．Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX. |
| C．Temple Cycles Classic. | D．The VanMoofs and the Cowboys. |
| A．A magazine column. | B．A store advertisement. |
| C．An official document. | D．A market research report. |
