In his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.
While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.
Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.

Nina Wygant, 11, sits in front of a long table in a classroom that looks more like a trendy coffee shop than an elementary school classroom. Some of her fifth-grade classmates at Hopewell Memorial Junior High School sit on high-top chairs at counters. Others choose to sit in club chairs or soft bean bags in comfortable. "I like it because it gives us an environment we like or need to settle down and read a book that we would like to concentrate on instead of having desks and being all quiet," said Vivian Garcia, 10. “You can just space out and have your own little area. I find it very amazing that you can pick your own books instead of being told what to read.”
That’s the end goal, said teacher Heather Shadish. Reading has always been a passion for this English language arts and science teacher, a passion she instills（灌输）in her pupils. Back then, in her literature class in graduate school at Chatham University, a professor read aloud the first chapter ofBecause of Winn-Dixieby Kate DiCamillo, a Newbery Medalist. "That was the moment I knew I wanted to some day teach reading. There was a spark there. I just felt these are the kind of books I need to share with kids ---the books that are going to make them feel something and make them fall in love with reading instead of reading being achore.”
But information in children's workbooks is limited, so they open tablets and connect to Epic - a digital library that's free to educators and librarians, but $7.99 a month for parents — giving kids unlimited access to approximately 35,000 books（both print and audio）, quizzes and videos to enhance learning.
“Epic gives students access to information not found in a textbook and presents it in a more interesting way," she said.
4. What does Vivian think of the reading experience?
A. She favors club chairs and free discussion.
B. She feels comfortable to be told what to read.
C. She enjoys the environment and reading choice.
D. She finds it easy to pick a book in a crowded area.
5. What does the underlined word “chore" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Task.
B. Process.
C. Habit.
D. Skill.
6. What can children get from Epic?
A. Free audio books.
B. Tasks on reading levels.
C. Advice from educators.
D. Useful learning resources.
7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. A Teacher's New Reading Method
B. Pupils' love of Reading Room
C. Options of Teaching Reading
D. Easy Access to Digital Reading
C
Improvements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of research suggests that arebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.
A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.
Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistent estimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.
“We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.
The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hoped­for savingsdates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.
If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carbon­capture technology than is currently being planned for.
But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.
8. Which of the following is a rebound effect?
A. A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.
B. A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.
C. A family saves money by using energy­saving devices.
D. A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.
9. How did Paul Brockway's team carry out their research?
A. By interviewing economists.
B. By analyzing former studies.
C. By modeling the rebound effect.
D. By debating about the Jevons paradox.
10. What would Paul Brockway probably agree with?
A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.
B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.
C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment.
D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.
11. What's the author's attitude towards limiting the rebound effect?
A. Positive.
B. Pessimistic.
C. Doubtful.
D. Disapproving.
D
Many cars in advertisements and on exhibition in the United States are red, blue or green, but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver orgray.
Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.
Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says
white cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of other color1 s. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.
Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.
About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America. Today, green is hard to find.
Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars —— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color1 anytime.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Most Americans don’t like red cars.
B. People in America are not allowed to wash their cars.
C. Many people prefer to choose white cars in America.
D. Americans may consider the cost of cleaning when choosing cars.
13. Why do many people choose white cars?
A. They are much cheaper than cars of other color1 s..
B. They are much safer while crashing.
C. They are bigger than cars of other color1 s.
D. They are more comfortable inside in warmer areas.
14. What do we know from the text?
A. Les Jackson is a member of Axalta.
B. Most Americans rarely wash their cars.
C. PPG Industries mainly produces cars in China.
D. Green cars were once popular in North America.
15. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Choices of car color1 s
B. How to buy a good car.
C. Differences of car color1 s.
D. Popular car color1 s in history.

Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight?
If your phone needs a software upgrade, you would likely run the operation when its fully charged.____16____A new study finds human energy systems operate in a similar fashion: Our metabolisms likely function best in the morning when our bodies are fresh and fully charged.
Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast, say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights.____17____
Contrary to the popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help increase metabolic function. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova finds meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in higher blood sugar, which happens when insulin cannot process glucose into energy.____18____What does this mean for you? Depending on your goals and health status, you may consider rearranging your meals. If you're looking to lose 10 pounds, the 18-to 19-hour overnight fast might work well for you.____19____So you could experiment with skipping one meal each day.
____20____People who maintain highly active lifestyles, for instance, and need adequate fuel to power morning runs or help muscle fibers recover from intense evening workouts like weightlifting might not benefit. Still, the concept provides an insight into how our bodies use fuel efficiently.
A. Of course, this approach isn't for everyone.
B. So, let's say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day.
C. Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, had higher body weights.
D. Otherwise, your phone and its software would take longer to sync.
E. This means eating a larger breakfast, a medium-sized lunch and no dinner.
F. Like a block in a machine extra glucose slows our metabolic process down.
G. The advice to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar has new science behind it.
