Its full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, and wonderful gestures and fighting. This kind of opera is very popular with Chinese people.There are four main roles in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Sheng is the leading male(男性) actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man. A Laosheng is an old man. Dan is the female(女性) role. Jing, mostly male, is the face-painted role and Chou is the comedy actor or clown.Stories in Beijing Opera are very interesting.

Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles. In the Second World War, some people didnt use gas made from petroleum (石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didnt go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we cant cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too. Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines (涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply. We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again. Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?46. When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages?A. When they are poor. B. When they run out of oil.C. When they need more exercise.D. When there arent any big trees in the world.47. What did some people use to make gas in the Second World War?A. WaterB. CoalC. Wood and plantsD. Tides48.
