27、Paris is the city of dreams, the city of love. If you are thinking of heading to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.

I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I was required to complete — forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless. Perhaps it was due to my well organizational habit, but somehow this endless list of to­do’s was completed in little more than a week.

Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.

Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafes to sit in and parks to run around. Read as many books about Paris as you can. Talk to as many locals and other foreigners living there as you can. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. I discovered some of my favorite places in Paris by wandering. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experienced in Paris as an exchange student.

After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to be faced with the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passers-by.

On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, “Bonjour Monsieur,” as I passed the little store down the street. I guess no matter how hard I tried I was always going to be an outsider, a tourist. The best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. Everyone’s experience of Paris is different. I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.

【1】What does the underlined word “ecstasy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Courage.

B．Imagination.

C．Happiness.

D．Reputation.

【2】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．An exchange student’s life.

B．Charming neighborhoods.

C．An exchange program.

D．A traveling experience.

【3】Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?

A．Enjoying coffee in his spare time.

B．Greeting people in French in the street.

C．Buying vegetables in the market.

D．Hanging around in Paris.

【4】According to the passage, what left the author the deepest impression?

A．The friendly people he met in Paris.

B．The special culture he experienced in the city.

C．The academic achievement he made in his study.

D．The presentations and assignments he did in class.

28、Films to watch in March

Greta

A lonely young waitress finds a handbag on a New York subway train. Luckily, the address is inside, so she returns it to the piano teacher who left it there. She then discovers that the piano teacher makes a habit of dropping bags around the city on purpose to make new friends. Directed by Neil Jordan, the actors are attractive. Grace Moretz is the waitress and Isabelle Huppert is the one who admires her. Thanks to them, Greta winds up being far more enjoyable than it has any right to be.

29、Studies on the importance of sleep for health and the various effects of not having enough sleep have long been well-known. Being short of sleep can lead to poor memory and daytime sleepiness. It’s also been connected to diseases and weakens immune(免疫的)function. However, more than three-quarters of us fall asleep after 11pm and nearly a third stay up until 1am.

The concept(概念)of sleep procrastination was introduced in a 2014 study by Utrecht University in The Netherlands, which explained that it meant “failing to go to bed at the intended time, while nothing prevents a person from doing so”. If so, it will bring terrible results.

Studies have shown that “bedtime procrastination” is connected with a person’s working life during the day. “They feel out of control in their day life and the night is when they can be free,” says Dr Saliha Afridi. “It is full of things they ‘have to do’ rather than what they ‘want to do’. ” Studies have also found that increased working hours and the reduced leisure time may cause much stress and sleep procrastination. On occasion, people have trouble with feelings, concern and loneliness, so they were controlled by using social media, making them stay up late.

So how to avoid it? People should avoid thinking too much before bedtime and stay away from digital devices. Besides, taking a warm shower before bed and going to bed at the intended time are also important.

A Peking Opera Legend That Redefined Female Roles

When it comes to Peking Opera, a few key things come to mind for most Chinese: its quintessential connection to the history and traditions of China; the richness of its dazzling costumes with their 【1】 colors and patterns; and the bold work of its facial make-up. Some may even be able to hum a few lines or talk about their favorite artists, but for the vast majority of people, traditional Chinese opera remains a classic art form that is far 【2】 from everyday life.

However, only a century ago, Peking Opera was no less 【3】 to the regular populace than is today’s pop music. The performers were admired by a large number of fans who were willing to spend a fortune on a ticket to their performances. Throughout the history of Peking Opera, there have 【4】 many renowned masters of the form. But MeiLanfang (1894 - 1961) was arguable the most outstanding figure of this craft, who was famous for his portrayal of the female lead roles (dan)

【5】 as one of the “four famed dan,” Mei was so much more than even this. He brought forth a number of new ideas to several aspects of Peking Opera: make-up (he was the first to war lipstick), music (his productions first 【6】 the erhu in shows), choreography(编舞艺术)(his iconic sword dance in Farewell My Concubine《霸王别姬》) and, most importantly characterization.

At a time when actual women were banned from performing, Mei 【7】 the dan to starring roles. He combined elements of the qingyi (elegant lady), huadan (young woman) and daomadan (female warrior) into a new huashan character that excelled in singing, dancing and martial arts. The techniques he introduced led to the development of the “Mei School”, which was considered one of the three major dramatic performing art systems in the world at the time.

“My father broke the 【8】 between almost all the different types of female role,” Mei Baojiu, the youngest child of Mei Lanfang who followed his father into dan acting, was quoted as saying.

Thanks to Mei’s 【9】 innovations, even those who know little about traditional Chinese opera can easily see the beauty of the art form the moment performers take the stage. “His make-up, the overlay of carmines(胭脂红) and darker tones, is the most beautiful I have ever seen in a theater,” wrote U.S. playwright Stark Young after watching Mei Lanfang’s performance in New York in 1930.

But the true beauty of Peking Opera is not solely about visual aesthetics. “For veteran artists, even their performances without make-up can be just as 【10】 as full-on stage performances,” Mei wrote in his 1958 memoir, Forty Years of Life on the stage. Just as Peking Opera has become an icon of Chinese culture, Mei has come to be acknowledge on the grand stage of the world as its quintessential performer.
