Beijing Opera is also called Peking Opera. It came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes(戲班) came to Beijing. Its music and singing(唱腔) come from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. Its costumes are all fascinating and artistic. It is the highest expression of the Chinese culture. It’s full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, and wonderful gestures and fighting. This kind of opera is very popular with Chinese people.

There are four main roles in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Sheng is the leading male (男性) actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man.

If someone asks you, “What colour is the sky?” I think you will answer “blue”. I’m afraid that you will be wrong. The sky has no colour. It looks blue because we are looking at the blue sunlight. The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust(灰塵) in the air.

Is the sky full of air? I’m sure that you have asked this question, too. We know that there is air all around the world, but we couldn’t fly very high because as we go high, the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air.

Maybe we can answer some questions now. What is the sky? Where is it? It is all round the world. The sky is space(宇宙空間). In space there is nothing, but only the sun, the moon, the earth and all the other stars.

1.The sky is ______.

A. a star round the earth

B. a big ball with air

C. full of dust

D. space with the sun, the moon, the earth and many other stars

Answer the questions.

Some kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills. A recently published study also appears to demonstrate that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who trained to keep them. The people were part of the ten-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.

More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE - short for Advanced (Cognitive) Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most studied when they were more than 70 years old.

The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed-of-processing - speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group - the control group did not get any training.

Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, lead study writer George Rebok says, the research showed most of the training remained effective a full ten years later.

Professor Rebok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed-of-processing did better on tests than the control group.

"We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years following the training, and in fact, that's exactly what we found."

The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group. The total training time for the older people was between 10 and 15 hours.

1.Which statement is true according to the text？

A．This kind of training can only have effect on people for a few years。

B．The people were trained during a period of ten years.

C．All the people who were studied were more than 70 years old.

D．The second group were trained how to remember word lists.

2.What can be inferred from the passage？

A．There were four groups being trained.

B．The old people trained can remember words better.

C．The second and third group improved their skills better than the first one.

D．The research showed that the effect of the training could absolutely last 10 years.

3.What’s the main idea of the fourth paragragh?

A．What was the meaning of the research?

B．How was the research conducted?

C．Why was the mental training effective?

D．How long did the research last?

4.What is the best title of the passage？

A．Mental Training Helped Elderly Stay Sharp for Years

B．How to improve our mental health

C．Four groups of old people were trained mentally.

D． The result of a ten-year research
