Last weekend, my class had a special trip to the Henan Opera Theatre. We all felt excited because it was the first time for us to watch a live opera show.
Our guide was Ms. Wang, a kind Yu Opera performer (演员) with 20 years of experience. She first took us to visit the costume (服装) room. There were all kinds of bright and beautiful costumes and masks. "Each mask has a special meaning, " Ms. Wang said. "Red means honesty (忠诚), while white means cruelty (残酷). " Then, we watched a short show of The Story of White Snake. The performers sang in a sweet voice and moved gracefully (优雅地) on the stage. We were interested and fell in love with the show.
After the show, we even got a chance to learn simple opera movements (动作) from Ms. Wang. My classmate Lili tried on a red costume and a hero's mask. She looked so cool that we all laughed happily. Before we left, Ms. Wang told us that Yu Opera has a history of more than 300 years, and it was an important part of Chinese traditional culture.
On our way back to school, everyone was talking about the trip. "I didn't know Yu Opera was so interesting, " my friend Tom said. I had the same idea. This trip not only gave us a great time, but also made us love our traditional culture more.

What's your favourite poem?
For some people, it's a short, funny limerick (五行打油诗). For others, it might be a famous love sonnet (十四行诗) written by William Shakespeare. Some poems describe the beauty of nature, and some discuss questions about family. There are long epic (史诗) poems that tell of heroes and monsters. On the other hand, there are Chinese jueju (绝句), which have just four lines. When it comes to poetry, there is something for everybody. Some people say reading a poem is better than diving into a normal story. What do you think?
Yes—poems are fun to learn and recite (背诵)
The great thing about poems is that they come in all shapes and sizes. Short poems are perfect for when you don't have much time—certainly not enough time to read a whole book. With a few words, poetry can be beautiful, thoughtful and influential. Poems are great because you can memorize them and share them with your friends; it's harder to do that with a story. Poems can be song lyrics (歌词) too—you could learn one by heart and recite it on the way to school. A book of poems gives you lots of themes all in one place, offering you much more than just one story.
No—you can get lost in a story for days.
It's because poems are mostly so short that they are not as good as stories. It's much more enjoyable to curl (蜷缩) up with a good book, to keep coming back to it, chapter after chapter, rather than read a poem that you might have forgotten by tomorrow. It's more enjoyable to really get to know the characters of a story and go on a journey with them. Besides, poems can be quite hard to understand, especially old ones that were written centuries ago. Novels usually have more information about characters and settings (背景), which means you get to step into a whole new world and escape from reality. You also find out what happens in the end, while with some poems you are left wondering what they really mean.
(1)、Which is TRUE about the types of poems?A、Limericks are funny poems with three lines. B、Love sonnets describe the beauty of nature. C、Epic poems discuss questions about family. D、Jueju are short poems appearing in China.(2)、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A、Everybody loves reading poems. B、People have similar interest in poems. C、Poetry can meet different people's tastes. D、Poetry influences people in the same way.(3)、Who do you think prefers stories to poems?A、Amy: I like short and beautiful words. B、Lily: I want to know more about the characters. C、Millie: I have a strong interest in song lyrics. D、Simon: I want to recite what I read in a short time.(4)、What's the best title for the passage?A、Why We Should All Memorize Poems B、Short and Sweet: The Art of Poetry C、Poems VS Stories: Which One Wins? D、A Journey Through Poems and Novels(5)、Where is the passage probably taken from?A、A literature magazine. B、A sports website. C、A science fiction. D、A book review. -

The Art of War(《孙子兵法》) is a book written over 2, 500 years ago by Sun Tzu, a Chinese strategist (战略家). Living during the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun had a good knowledge of war strategies. The book's 13 chapters (篇章) cover different parts of war. Surprisingly, its lessons can help solve everyday problems! They teach skills. Here are three of them.
"Winning comes to those who know when to act and when to walk away, " Sun Tzu wrote. This means choosing fights wisely. For example, if a classmate says something unkind, staying cool might be better than shouting. Not every small argument needs a big fight.
Leadership isn't just about giving orders—it's about thinking smartly and making good plans. "Work on your weak points, not your strong ones, " Sun Tzu said. Imagine studying for a hard test: spend more time on your weakest subject first. He also said, "Understand yourself and your competitor, and you can fight a hundred battles (战役) with no danger of losing. " Know your strengths and weaknesses to make better plans for schoolwork.
"Change like water, " Sun Tzu taught. If your soccer team's plan isn't working, try new ways! Life doesn't always go as you expect. Being able to change helps you catch good chances. Change like water, and you'll grow!
This ancient book is still popular to this day around the world, whether in wars, politics, business, sports or relationships. Next time when you face a challenge, ask what Sun Tzu would do. His ancient advice might just help you succeed!
(1)、What's the book about?(2)、According to Sun Tzu, what's the key to "winning" in the book?(3)、In what aspects (方面) is the book popular today?(4)、Would you like to read the book? Why or why not? In your words.(5)、将短文中画线部分翻译成中文。 -

Journey to the Centre of the Earth is one of Jules Verne's most well-known works. In this famous science-fiction novel, Harry, his uncle, and their travelling companion Hans undertake a subterranean (地下的) journey beneath the Earth's s . After reading the book, it's easy to see why the novel is a classic.
Setting is one of the most important elements of any science-fiction novel, and Verne helps the reader visit this imaginary world within-our-world. W it's a huge cave filled with unusual formations or a mysterious passage, Verne's vivid descriptions are easy to visualize. He c a world that is both familiar (熟悉的) and strangely unfamiliar. His word c make the new place seem cold and slightly threatening.
Verne also includes details that help the reader understand and relate to the m characters. Harry is the first-person narrator who describes the events from his own point of view. Through his actions, c , and descriptions, it is easy to see that he feels concerned and wary (谨慎的) in this new environment. By contrast, Harry's uncle is delighted (高兴的) by their unusual circumstances and t he estimates (估计) that they are far below the Earth's surface, he does not perceive any danger during their navigation of the unfamiliar terrain (地形). By showing these details, Verne s in giving the reader clues about each character's traits and motivations.
While the characters' journey is fantastical fiction, it reminded me of the f time I visited a big city. I was awed by the towering buildings and the constant roar of traffic. Like Harry, I felt like I was standing on an unfamiliar shore. I was fascinated and terrified. That's the b of Verne's work—he captures both of those feelings perfectly.
