With great interest, she joined the Peking Opera group of Tsinghua University.That made her see that Peking Opera is much more than just the looks.“There is really, really huge cultural and historical background in Peking Opera.”
The group members practice twice a week.Mostly, they practice singing and movements.The biggest problem for Lulu was learning the Asian way of singing.“To start with, my throat was in great pain, because I was using my voice in the wrong way, ” she said.But with the help of teachers, she has improved a lot.
There are other international students in the group.“I really love Peking Opera because it brings us together, ” she said.“I believe that art has no boundaries(界限) and music has no language barriers(障碍)．I hope to share my love for Peking Opera with more people outside China.”

You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese
Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions(《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715—1763)．Now the book has been made into an English language opera.After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.
Many of the opera's creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights(剧作家)．Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign language opera.
The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters.But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven.Hwang, a Chinese American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy(悲剧) that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage decorations.He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume.When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.
The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing.Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution(贡献) to the land where my parents were born”．

A．In Beijing. B．In Changsha. C．In San Francisco.

C．The book is long and rich in characters.
( )68.The art director compared Lin to water probably because of her ______.

( )69.What can we infer from the passage
A．Timmy Yip knows a lot about Chinese culture as well as American culture.
B．Hwang's parents were born in America.
C．The English language opera was on tour in the US.
( )70.What do creators of the opera think of their job

Now more and more people are interested in travelling.I think trip is an opportunity for us to experience life and increase knowledge.At the same time, it can also broaden our horizon.
Last Wednesday, we went on a trip to Nanning.Nanning is a modern and tidy city, where there are many places of interest.It was a fine warm day.In the morning, we climbed the Daming Mountain.On the way, we met an Australian.He was kind and patient.We had fun practising speaking English.In the afternoon, we rowed boats in the Yongjiang River.
