They are singing, speaking, acting and acrobatic （杂技的） fighting.Shadow PlayStarted from the Han Dynasty, shadow play became popular among ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty. It was a mixture of dance, drama, music, art and so on. When it became dark, the performers set up the light and paper screen. Then they held the human characters behind the paper screen and the audience saw the stories from the other side. The characters were made of animal skin. As the shadow players moved their fingers, the characters came to life and their looks, dresses and movement could be clearly seen.

In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldnt work out the right way to go.It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm. At home, Jake watched a lot of programmes about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldnt blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous-15 that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programmes always said,“ If you are lost, you should find someone else s tracks through the snow and follow them.” “I wanted to live my life.” remembers Jake.“So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those.” He walked and walked and finally he saw lights. Nine hours after he lost his ski, he found a team of worker who came to save him. He was safe!His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didnt even have to go to hospital.

Its one word you can depend on when youre in a library or a bookstore. All you need to remember is “ P. I. C. K. “ P. I. C. K. ” stands for Purpose, Interest，Comprehend, and Know the Words.P= Purpose. Why are you looking for a bookreading for pleasure or trying to learn something? Reading silently for yourself or reading out loud for someone else? Most often, your purpose for reading can be found with a quick answer.I = Interest. With the many millions of books on shelves today, there must be something out there for everyone. If you are interested in cars，consider books about history of racing, race car drivers, or car design. Even if you havea short amount of time to choose books, you can determine interest by looking at the front cover， flipping through(快速翻阅）the pages to have a quick look at photos or illustrations, or reading the back cover or the chapter titles.C = Comprehend. Its important to choose a book right for your level or ability. How to choose such a book? If you read books at Level A, for example, youd better not choose a book at Level D. If the book isnt labeled(贴标签）with a level, you can open the book and choose a pagethen you can decide whether the book is at a right level for you by asking yourself：Did I understand what I just read?Do I remember what I read?Was I able to read most of the words?This brings us to our final letter； K=Know the Words. Readers should be able to understand most of the words on the page. The key is the Five Finger Rule” ： Choose a book you would like to read， look at a page in the middle and put one finger down for every word you dont understand. The “Five Finger Rule” shows a general idea of the relationship between the number of unknown words and the difficultylevel of a book；0 1 unknown word = too easy2 3 unknown words=just right45 unknown words = too difficultY
