26、Beijing Opera, as one of Chinese traditional opera forms, is regarded as the national opera of China and well received all over the world.

Beijing Opera arose in the late 18th century with a history of more than 200 years whose origin can date back to some old local operas, especially the Anhui Opera. It became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century. Now it's the biggest kind of opera in China, whose popularity spread all over the country, becoming the most popular dramatic (戏剧的) form on Chinese stage.

There are four basic methods employed in a Beijing Opera performance: chang, nian, zuo, da. Generally speaking, chang means singing, and nian recitation (背诵) and oral communication, while zuo means the facial and body expressions and acting and da is Chinese Kungfu. Beijing Opera also has four main types of performers namely Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Sheng and Dan mean the main roles in the opera. The painted face, in Chinese called 'jing', is a name for the role of the man that has some special characteristic or appearance. Chou is easily understood from the role's name as a clown with an ugly appearance, who is to provide light relief and comedy.

In recent years, Beijing Opera has tried to make some changes, including improving the performance quality. Widely spreading all over China with great influence, Beijing Opera contains the spirit of Chinese national culture, but the shortage of funding has become a big problem as the form enters the 21st century. There is no doubt that it is a treasure of Chinese culture!

27、   Cancelled school, daycare and sports activities means that children are eating all of their meals and snacks at home. 【1】, social distancing also brings new opportunities.

Studies have found that children who regularly eat family dinners consume more fruits and vegetables, and fewer unhealthy foods than children who don’t. They’re also less likely to be overweight, and more likely to say no to smoking and drugs.

Being stuck at home also provides an opportunity for parents to teach children cooking skills that they can carry into adulthood. 【2】, and teaches them nutrition and food safety. And, research suggest, doing so may help children overcome picky eating by becoming more accepting of new foods. Besides, cooking and baking can be fun ways spend time while bonding with family.

【3】, however, healthy eating guidelines are the same for children and adults. Meals should be planned around healthy protein foods, vegetables and fruits, whole grains and healthy fats. It can be challenging, though, to feed children three well-balanced, nutritious meals day after day during the corona-virus crisis.

When you’re too stressed or too tired to cook, it’s easy to sometimes fall back on children-friendly meals, such as frozen pizza, pasta and cheese, or chicken fingers. That’s perfectly okay; these aren’t normal times.

【4】. For example, offer sliced fruit or raw vegetables with the meal or heat up frozen peas to serve with chicken fingers.

As much as possible, keep a routine(常规)around your children’s meal and snack times, which helps to discourage snacking throughout the day.【5】

A.While this can add a new stress for parents

B.That’s why it’s helpful to have some extra time at home

C.Kitchen activities may require children’s patience as they learn

D.Children at different ages need different amounts of specific nutrients

G.When that’s the case, plan easy ways to improve the nutritional quality of meals

29、   They may have text, email, Facebook and Twitter, but young people are still lonelier than any other age group. The Loneliness in New Zealand report, published by Statistics New Zealand, shows under 30s are more likely to feel lonely than older people because loneliness decreases with age.Loneliness and poor mental health were strongly related across all ages. Young people were not as likely to feel lonely because of financial hardship, but among older people, lack of money was a significant influence on loneliness. Women were more likely to feel lonely than men.

Philip Walker, spokesman for the General Social Survey, said because it was relatively new it was hard to know whether loneliness among young people was a new trend. But overseas research has found that levels of loneliness in youth today are growing.

Walker said the finding needed more exploration, including looking at the role of technology and social media. “It could be that people's expectations of connection have gone up, so we expect increased levels of connection.” he said. “While technology like cell phones could help young people stay connected, on the other hand for those who do get bullied, especially bullied online, it's quite isolating. A lot of the time potentially it is a big contributor to loneliness.”

Figures from online dating website Find Someone also confirmed more young people were looking for love. Manager Rick Davies, said younger dating hopefuls were the fastest growing group on the site.

Mr. Davies noted that since the report data was collected in 2010 there had been huge growth in smart phones, which meant people were online even more. He believed online tools, such as Skype, could help people stay connected. “People can keep in touch with a wide range of friends from all over the world much more easily now. It's like you're sitting in your living room having a chat with them.”

Bemardine Reid, operations committee chairwoman for Samaritans, which operates a free helpline, said many of their calls came from people who were lonely. “It might be that they've got some problem, just like all the things people would normally talk to a friend about, but people who are alone lack those normal contacts.” The Statistics New Zealand report also showed people who didn't have face-to-face contact with family and friends were more likely to feel lonely, as were those who lived alone.

【1】Which of the following may Mr. Walker agree with?

A.High technology may become a reason for loneliness.

B.People shouldn't use the Internet to get to know strangers.

C.It's hard for people to get enough connection online as expected.

D.Social media should play an important role in helping lonely people.

【2】From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that .

A.Internet can keep people free from loneliness

B.people chatting a lot online tend to be optimistic

C.people living alone tend to have more connection online

D.people communicating less in the real-world risk loneliness

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that .

A.Find Someone is a website where you can find old friends

B.without technology, young people would not feel lonely

C.high technology results in the older being lonely

D.those cheated or hurt online tend to feel lonely

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A.Loneliness around You B.Young People Online

C.Young but Lonely D.E-times and Young People
