Crosstalk(相声),a traditional form of comic storytelling,is making a comeback in China’s tea houses and 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($2.40).

   The success in Tianjin has also caused the rejuvenation(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 formed their styles and new pieces were tried out.The city was well—known nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.

Known in Chinese as xiangsheng(1iterally,“face and voice”),crosstalk was the predominant(支配的)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.

    Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture,from history and folk tales to social issues of the time.Although there’re hundreds of traditional pieces,they’re constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well.It’s one of the features that have made crosstalk a

 public art form throughout its history.

    “Crosstalk was in the doldrums(萎靡不振)with competition from other art forms,especially TV,”said Wang Xiaochun,headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China(NSAS).“But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans,especially young people,growing aware of its rare qualities.”

    “More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk,including some girl students,”said Wang, “They’re sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”

Crosstalk means“__________ ”in Chinese.

   A.storytelling    B.face and voice    C.folk tale  D.dialogue

According to the text, crosstalk is so popular throughout its history because____________.

  A.it is constantly changed and renewed    B.it is often performed at temple fairs

  C.it is different from other arts           D.it is comic and humourous

  A.it is a popular traditional art after all

  B.the pieces contain some famous folk tales

  C.the crosstalkers make it return to teahouses

  D.the pieces are made to suit the times and the audience

Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do.Birthday celebrate the day when we were born.Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity(成熟)—or so we hope.We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older.Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well.For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud.For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process.But growing old? That is a different story.
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心)American culture.Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young.As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old.People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom.But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.
Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden.Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by.Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income.Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference.Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing.Some even experience age discrimination(歧视).American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets.She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed.However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why? People are living longer.Fewer babies are being born.And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly.America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹)are “in”.Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer.

When the recent research was analyzed(分析), it was found that a lot of people wanted free pictures or free music from the Web. If it couldn’t be free, then they wanted it “new” or at least at a low price. It seems that 70 percent of people aged 16 to 24 download music online but only 1 in 40 tracks are bought legally.

   Thus, some companies are planning to give all of their music away for free. The music will be totally free except that you will have to pay with your time by watching advertisements. This will be perfect for those who have lots of time but little money.

   The Web has encouraged a belief that things can be free, or at least very cheap. It seems that everyone is looking for a good deal on the Web. The desire for free objects is part of the nature of the Web because the Web is about self-service and self-service is all about being free, cheap, fast and convenient. It’s interesting how words change their meaning. Stealing has now become file sharing, but it’s not really stealing, is it?

   Free is a funny word. We all know that very little is really for free. If we go searching on the Web for free music, we know—or should know—that there are risks involved. However, it doesn’t matter. We still want free things, or at least the sense that we’re getting a real bargain and that at a minimum we’re saving time.

   What can be the worst experience on the Web? A site that charges us high prices and wastes our time.

1.What is the best title for the text?

A. The Nature of the Web          B. The Web and the Culture of “ Free”

C. Stealing and File Sharing                  D. What Does the Word “ Free” Mean?

2.Why do some companies “ sell” their music for free?

A. Their music is not popular and is out of date.

B. Most people have lots of time but little money.

C. Their music can’t be sold new or for a low price.

D. They can earn money from the advertisements added in the music.

3.Which of the following can best describe the belief of the Web?

A. Risky behaviour    B. Stealing  C. File sharing           D. For fun.

Some weight-loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago, have sprouted in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities. Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million—about 7 percent—are obese(极肥胖的).

Experts say the obesity epidemic is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China's citizens and economy. “We're seeing a very large proportion of children and adolescents who are quite heavy and aren't moving much,” said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight “quite quickly”. In just ten years China's childhood obesity rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban areas. “In big cities it's a big problem.”

Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China's rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. In addition, kids—especially city dwellers—are more sedentary today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television, computer games, and the Internet.

Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a portion of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer groups influence kids' food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.

China's childhood obesity rate still lags that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious.

1.According to the passage we know ________.

A.weight-loss camps was very popular in China six years ago

B.about 290 million Chinese are overweight in China in all

C.in China childhood obesity rate in rural areas is lower than that in major cities

2. Which of the following is NOT the reason of China's childhood obesity?

B.High quality diets

C.Playing computer games for long time

D.Having pocket money

3.The underlined word “sedentary” in the third paragraph probably means ________.

A.attentive

B.earnest

C.absent

D.inactive

4. According to the passage we can infer ________.

A.obesity explosion in China will affect the United States

B.there are great difference in kids’ food choices now

C.junk food contributes to childhood obesity

D.city children eat more than rural children

5. What’s the best title for the passage?
