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.The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US.This month it came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.
Many of the opera's creators have backgrounds(背景)in both Chinese
and American cultures, including the director and playwrights.Their understanding of both cultures helped them to 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 ChineseAmerican, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken 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(服装) and stage settings(布景)．He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume.When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.
The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences.Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born”．
( B )72.Who wrote the Chinese novel?
A．Lin Daiyu. B．Cao Xueqin.
C．Jia Baoyu. D．David Henry Hwang.
( B )73.Which of the following is NOT a difference between the book and the opera?
A．The language used. B．The sad love story.
C．The number of characters. D．The whole family's story.
( D )74.Why did the creators make the book into an English language opera?
A．Because they had backgrounds in Western culture.
B．Because they thought the book was not good enough.
C．Because they hoped to help others learn English.
D．Because they wanted Westerners to know about the Chinese novel.
( C )75.What’s the best title of the passage?
A．A Dream of Red Mansions Is Popular
B．Introduce the Chinese Classic to Westerners
C．Turn the Chinese Classic into An Opera
D．The Chinese Culture Is Colorful

Growing up with Reading
Have you watched the program Everlasting Classics on CCTV? This program makes us more interested in reading books，especially classics.As we know，reading can not only help us to get more knowledge and open our eyes to the world but also improve ourselves and make us believe in ourselves.
I've ever read a book called If you could give me a day.It was written by Helen Keller，an American blind writer.She told us that how she overcame all kinds of difficulties in her life to learn to speak and write.Although she was blind，she believed in herself.After reading the book，I know that there is nothing difficult in the world if you put your
heart into it.
So I decide to have a good reading habit and read more good books in the spare time，especially classic literature books.
