theaters.
Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin,
entertained by the apprentices (学徒) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan -- all leading crosstalk
artists of years past -for only 20 yuan (US$2.40). The success in Tianjin has also given mo
tivation to therejuvenation (复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Tianjin became a place
where rising stars developed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was famous for the
quality of its crosstalk performances.
"We only want to bring the traditional pieces back to the audiences, helping them to learn their charms
and definitions," said Yin Xiaosheng, head of the Zhongyou Arts Troupe.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, "face and voice"), crosstalk was the main form of comedy
throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets
were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses
or theaters.
Usually crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to
contemporary social issues. Although there are hundreds of pieces in the traditional works, they are
constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. This is one
of the features that have made crosstalk a populist(平民化) art form throughout its history.
"Crosstalk was in the doldrums with competition from other art forms, especially TV," sa
id Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). "But it has regained
its status with cr
osstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities." The reawakening of interest in the traditional art is going beyond merely watching and listening for many.
"More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students," said
Wang, "They are sure that crosstalk will have a strong market."
B. the teahouse and theater
C. the cinema
D. the temple fairs and markets
B. the pieces mainly cover folk tales and social issues
C. the pieces are changing with times and audience
D. it is performed by some leading crosstalk artists
B. Variety.

D. Period.
ssage we can predict the future of crosstalk lies in______.B. having advantages over other media
C. young people"s the awareness of its value
D. the competitive and big markets for art

Cities and towns in the United States sparkle with bright lights and decorations. Churches, homes,
schools, shops, and streets are decorated with Christmas trees, colored lights, Santa Claus and his
reindeer, and nativity scenes showing the stable where Jesus Christ was born. Store windows display gifts and Christmas scenes. The traditional colors for this holiday are red and green, and red poinsettia is

Bells. There are many shows on television called "Christmas Specials". Films like A Christmas Carol (by

In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one"s fast(随便吃一点). But 200 years later it had
become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social(社会的)event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became,
instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m. and became a family meal.
Dinner, however, went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a. m. Years later, it
had moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p.m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a
recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap(间隙) between breakfast and dinner.

Five Olympic mascots were announced exactly 1000 days before the Beijing Olympic opening
ceremony. The long-anticipated mascots represent four of China"s most popular animals—the fish, the
panda, the Tibetan antelope and the swallow. The fifth mascot is the brightly burning Olympic flame.
Each of the mascots has a repeated two-syllable name. This type of name is a traditional way of
showing affection for children in China. BeiBei is the fish, JingJing is the panda, HuanHuan is the Olympic
flame, YingYing is the Tibetan antelope and NiNi is the swallow. The first characters of their two-syllable
names read "Beijing Huanying Ni," or, in English, "Welcome to Beijing."
The five elements of nature, including the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky are found in the mascot"s
origins and headpieces. These special headpieces also display the folk and culture of China. Each mascot
also symbolizes a different blessing —prosperity, happiness, passion, health and good luck.
It is the first time more than three mascots will share the important duty of representing their host
country. Han Meilin, chief of the mascot design team explained that, "China has such a rich culture that no
single mascot could possibly represent it! That is why we chose to produce five mascots instead of one."
Called the "Five Friendlies," the figures embody(体现) the Chinese people"s hope for peace and
friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics, representing not only multi-ethnic(多民族的)
cultures of China, but also the traditional Chinese philosophy of harmony between humans and nature.
In order to help Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, the Five Friendlies reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games - and to invite every man, woman and child to take part in the great celebration of human union in
2008.
B. Prosperity, Happiness, Passion, Health and Good luck.
C. New Beijing, New Olympics.

B. The theme of 2008 Beijing Olympics - One World, One Dream.
C. The significance of five 2008 Olympic mascots - the Five Friendlies.
D. How the Five Fantastic Mascots came into being.
B. Chinese multi-ethnic cultures, philosophy of harmony between humans and nature and five elements
of nature.

culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. From this view point,
all human groups have a culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically
everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a socio-cultural
system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Here is one of the cases of children
growing up apart from human society. In the province of Kidnaper in India, the director of a children"s
home was told by local villagers that there were "ghost(鬼)" in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the
director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to
have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. These children were the ghosts described by the
local people. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala(as the older child was named)
and Amala(the name given to the younger child).
Kamala was a terrible-looking being-the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. Close
at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. Their eyes were
very bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as
they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours like squirrels.
Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part
in a cultural community. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behavior
through their membership in a certain cultural community.
B. Amala and Kamala were raised in forest by ghosts
C. human beings will not grow up human unless they are raised by human beings in human culture
D. culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society
B. They were two squirrels, Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.
C. They were two young wolves, Amala and Kamala, whose eyes were bright and sharp.
D. They were two children, Amala and Kamala, who were growing up in a children"s home.

D. They started walking with both their hands and feet.
