Ghaffar Pourazar, a British man, has learned the necessary skills to perform Beijing Opera and he has become popular with his lively performance of the Monkey King.
Born in Iran, Ghaffar has been a big fan of Chinese culture since he was a child. And he is interested in China.
In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing. Ghaffar fell in love with the beautiful voices, colorful costumes, excellent shows and so on. So after a year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a school in Beijing.
At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist. At that time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest problem. But he never gave up.
Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King, a traditional character from the Chinese classic story Journey to the West. He usually arrived at the workroom an hour earlier than the other performers and he also bought books and CDs to understand the character better.
Ghaffar is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect (方言) but also has won the world reputation for Beijing Opera. He once won a top international prize for performing the Monkey King.
To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain and other countries. When he found that the language was difficult to understand, he started to translate the lyrics of Beijing Opera. Ghaffar led a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States. He also led a 48-member team to perform in Malaysia.

Teachers often find it challenging to collect homework from students before class, and sometimes they even become upset about it. To solve this problem, a 13-year-old middle school student whose family name is Zhang from Shenzhen created a smart robot, which won first prize in the 20th Guangdong Provincial Children’s Invention Awards.
This amazing robot can quickly and efficiently (高效地) collect homework from students without any mistake. It uses advanced radio frequency identification (RFID, 无线射频识别) technology to read special tags (标签) on each student’s notebook. Each student’s notebook has a special RFID tag with their names and subject information. When students place their notebooks on the robot, it “reads” the tag and adds it to the correct list.
Not only does the robot help teachers collect homework, but it also allows them to check who has and hasn’t handed in their homework by receiving messages from the robot over Wi-Fi. This invention has got the high praise from many teachers, who believe that Zhang’s creativity and talent will lead to even more useful AI tools in the future.
Due to his success, Zhang expects to become a scientist when he grows up. “I enjoy doing scientific and creative projects like making model airplanes in my spare time. Inventing gives me a sense of joy and achievement,” he said.
With his love for science and innovation (创新), Zhang is well on his way to making the world better through his inventions. His story serves as an inspiration (激励) for other young people to go after their dreams and make a difference in their daily life.
63. What is Zhang’s purpose of creating the smart robot
A. To help parents do housework. B. To help teachers collect homework.
C. To help students do their homework. D. To help children take care of themselves.
64. What does the robot do after collecting homework
A. It stores the homework in a safe place. B. It sends messages to teachers.
C. It checks the homework and corrects mistakes. D. It deletes the homework from the students’ notebooks.

A. Playing video games. B. Watching TV shows.
C. Making model planes. D. Helping his parents with housework.
66. How can Zhang’s story encourage other young people
A. By showing them how to make money from inventions.
B. By encouraging them to do a job that is popular and well-paid.
C. By teaching them how to use the new technology in their daily lives.
D. By showing that anyone can be successful if they never give up their dreams.

A. The Joy of Inventing B. The Future of AI Tools
C. The Power of Friendship D. The Invention of a Smart Robot
D
There is always a discussion about whether you should get your kids to do chores at home or not. However, getting kids to do housework is really good for children in many ways. So I find it hard to understand why you wouldn’t get them to do chores.
The most important reason is that getting children to do chores teaches them a lot of life skills. They need to know how to clean, how to cook, how to shop, etc. It is, however, one of the things that schools don’t teach completely, so it is one of the main parts of learning that parents should provide for children before they leave home.
Children like to feel proud about their achievements. Making them help around the house can really help to give them a sense of pride. Also, giving them praise for helping will make them want to do more. They will feel happy to be able to help around the house.
Giving your children a job to do or an area in the house to look after will help them learn how to be responsible in their future life. They will see the benefit (益处) of keeping things organized, clean and tidy—and also be more thankful for what you do for them as they grow up.
Planning is a life skill that can be got from helping around the house. As children get older, you can start to teach them how to understand the needs of themselves and others and plan by themselves. For example, if they help with the washing, let them make sure that they do it in time. They may start to plan ahead.
All these reasons for getting kids to help around the house mean that they’ll grow up with a great set of skills that can be good for them throughout their lives. Why not get started today
68. Who does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Parents. B. Workers. C. Teachers. D. Children.
69. What can give children a sense of pride
A. Helping around the house. B. Learning all by themselves at school.
C. Learning some life skills. D. Understanding the needs of themselves.
70. How can children learn to be responsible
A. By planning ahead. B. By finishing homework in time.
C. By being given a job to do. D. By being thankful for what they get.
71. What does the writer think about letting kids do chores
A. He is against it. B. He is surprised at it.
C. He agrees with it. D. He doesn’t care about it.
72. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
