In some parts of the world, like Indonesia, a puppet show is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages.At most puppet shows, the audience sits on one side of the screen and the puppeteer (操纵木偶的人) sits on the other. However, at an Indonesian shadow puppet show, the audience can choose which side to sit on. From out front, audience members see shadows of puppets acting out exciting scenes of romance or battle. These people enjoy the fantasy that “real” events are taking place.Behind the scenes, it can be fascinating to see a dalang, or puppeteer, in action. The dalang manipulates puppets made of buffalo hide by moving attached rods(棒) of buffalo horn or bamboo. Each of a puppets arms and the main part of its body have their own rods, but its legs are rarely moved on their own.Each puppet has its own voice and its own way of moving. The “good” puppets usually speak calmly and move gracefully.; the “bad” ones have rough voices and move in a funny way. The stories acted out by the puppets are often based on ancient myths or legends. A specially written puppet show might also celebrate a birth, wedding, or harvest. Sometimes a dalang chooses an old story that he thinks is appropriate for the village where the performance will take place. Before the show, he may ask local people about current events in the village and then use the puppet show to illustrate possible solutions to local problems.The audience of a shadow puppet show expects to settle in for a long evening. A show may start in the later afternoon and not end until four oclock the next morning! Children and adults alike may fall asleep in the middle of a show and wake up hours later to find it still going on. Of course, the dalang must remain alert throughout the show. One dalang remarked,”I have no real sense of time until its all over.”29.The text would be of most interest to readers looking for information about _.A. forms of entertainment in other culturesB. how to create their own puppet showC. how to make their own puppetsD. everyday life in Indonesia30.How is an Indonesian puppet show different from most other puppet shows?A. A dalang may take a rest during a show.B. People can leave in the middle of a show.C. It is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages.D. The audience can choose to sit on either side of the screen.31.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. The “good” puppets move in a funny way.B. The dalang attempts to personalize the puppet show for the audience.C. The audience determines the puppets voice and way of moving.D. A dalang offers solutions to local problems before the show.D The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It was one of the poorest nations in the region. Within the last five years, however, it has become a hot spot for adventure travelers. In 2006 it was voted the happiest place on Earth.
