World history has seen three ancient dramas:Greek tragedy and comedy;Indian Sanskrit drama;and Chinese opera.The first two have become historical and only Chinese opera has survived.
Chinese opera took shape in the 12th century.After developing for more than 800 years,its abundant local styles of opera are still enjoying great popularity,of which Qinqiang is one of the most ancient operas.
Qinqiang opera is a thousand-year-old local opera originating in China's inland northwestern region.It has established a unique tradition as an "opera shouted out" with its high-pitched arias(高音唱腔).Li Mei has won a reputation as one of the four greatest Qinqiang actresses.She's also known for her passionate commitment to exploring the theatrical possibilities offered by Qinqiang.
Li Mei and her workmates are halfway through an afternoon rehearsal(排练)and most have broken into a sweat.Singing in a near whisper,the forty-year-old opera star performs the stylized movements for the leading role—the bitter dead Lady Li Huiniang in Ghost 's Hate.
Little wonder that Li Mei is such a powerful presence on stage.She's the greatest contributory actress who's able to interpret a character so persuasively and tell a story so convincingly that European audiences warmly hug this unfamiliar art form.
Li Mei said, "We performed this opera in the Netherlands to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of Holland's National Theatre.We enjoyed a fifteen-minute curtain call and the audiences applauded wildly for a long time.The local press entitled me the 'Nemesis of the Orient' and the 'Chinese Venus'.Why is that so?Because they've fully understood what the opera implied—the loyalty towards love,and dead ae may be,her love persists.The reason why this opera was able to touch millions of hearts is that it has a beautiful story presented by a beautiful art form."

According to The Straits Times,many wild animals have recently skipped onto empty streets in many cities.
In Spain,a wild boar climbed down the hills and wandered around Barcelona.Sika deer nosed their way around the deserted metro stations of Nara in Japan.A stag ran in the capital of the northern state of Uttarakhand in India.
"It is certainly great news for species," Marcelo Giagnoni,the head of Chile's agricultural and livestock service,told AFP. "This is the habitat they once had and that we've taken away from them."
Hundreds of years ago,people lived in harmony with wildlife.They shared natural resources from sunlight to water and from forests to land.But as human beings evolved and formed their own civilizations,they jostled with animals for more space and resources.Gradually,human beings came to lose connection with nature.More skyscrapers have been built to meet the needs of the flock of people in the cities,which drove away many wild animals from their habitats.
However,the recent lockdown of cities during the pandemic gives a chance of "freeing a space for other animals" and reflecting on our relationship with nature,according to AFP.Stuck indoors,with their worlds reduced to a few square meters,urban people have suddenly become enthusiastic birdwatchers.British ornithologist(鸟类学者)David Lindo,who is known as the "urban birder",has been posting and livestreaming birds he spots from the roof of the building in Spain where he has been quarantined(隔离). "The sky is a great arena,anything can fly past and,at the very least,it will give you peace.My message is simple:keep looking up," he told CTV News.
Just as AFP noted,right now "the most important phenomenon perhaps is our relationship with nature is changing - with people locked up in their homes realizing how much they miss nature".
Though the lockdown may be temporary,it's time for us to reflect upon our relationship with the environment.As AFP put it,"people should always have a need of nature".By missing nature,humans may come to respect- and live in harmony with - nature once again.
(1)What can we infer from Marcelo Giagnoni's statements?
A.Wild animals have wandered around streets.
B.Humans have to move away from their habitat.
C.Wild species were forced to flee their home.
D.It is good for humans to get back their land.
(2)What does the underlined word "jostle" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Push.
B.Struggle.
C.Quarrel.
D.Negotiate.
(3)What can humans get from the lockdown of cities according to AFP?
A.Having easy access to free space.
B.Getting a closer look at animals.
C.Thinking about the bond with nature.
D.Living in harmony with birds.
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Temporary Quarantine
B.The Harmony of Nature
C.Keep Looking up
D.Wildlife Moves in

With low temperatures,radiation and high-energy particles,the vacuum of space is nothing but harsh(严酷的).Can you imagine spending six hour walking in space?Chinese astronauts just did that on their
latest spacewalk.
On Aug 20,Chinese astronauts Liu Boming and Nie Haisheng went out on the second spacewalk ofthe Shenzhou XII mission,according to the China Manned Space Agency.The pair set up and adjusted equipment,showed their spacesuits and tested the large robotic arm and other spacewalk-related devices.
Despite the astronauts'skill,spacewalking is a challenging task.Luckily,their bulky(臃肿的)spacesuits protect them.A spacesuit is like a small space station.It has everything astronauts need when they carry out a spacewalk.
China's Feitian spacesuits have six layers.The innermost layer collects astronauts'urine.There are also four layers that help control the temperature and air pressure inside the suit.Spacesuits are filled with air,so they look like they're puffed up(膨胀).The sixth layer is made of special fibers that cover astronauts from radiation,according to The Paper.
Astronauts are connected to the space station with safety ropes.The suit has headphones and speakers for astronauts to communicate.There is also a mirror on the wrist that astronauts can use to check their suits.
The first Feitian suit was made in 2008.Zhai Zhigang wore it to carry out China's first spacewalk,which lasted about 19 minutes.
The suits Chinese astronauts wear today are the second generation of Feitian.They can support longer walks lasting up to eight hours and can be used more often.The first generation could only be used five times within two years,while the second generation can be used 15 times within three years.Each suit costs around 30 million yuan,and it takes four months to make just one according to Ifeng News.
