It became a great success judging from the comments of the audience, many of whom travelled a long distance from neighboring regions to experience the beauty of the dance show.When modern people meet a Northern Song young painterThe “poetic dance” brings people the inner world of the ancient painter Wang Ximeng from the view of a modern researcher of the Palace Museum who unfolds the painting scroll, making the audience lost in the charm of legendary traditional Chinese artwork.According to Xie Suhao, who plays the character, it is not to tell people how great the painting is, but to guide people into an immersive (沉浸式的) and exciting experience of the painting and the traditional Chinese culture. The dancers also hope to create a sincere performance to show respect to the cultural relics protection workers who have made great effort to protect ancient artworks.A rewarding experience for the performers of the poetic danceWhich kind of body language can express the characters most correctly? According to Zhang Han, who plays the character of Wang Ximeng, to capture the essence of painting Wang Ximeng in a natural, lively way, he went to a teacher expert in Chinese blue-green landscape painting to learn how to draw “A Panorama of Mountains and Rivers”. From line drawing to coloring, he gradually felt a stronger and deeper connection with the character. “Sometimes, I failed to get myself out of the character and just cannot stop crying. Such immersive experiences make me even more deeply respect and revere the character,” said Zhang Han.As Ximeng painted in the center, more characters appeared on the stage, presenting a painting that starts with and ends in charming shades of blue and green. Thus, “A Panorama of Mountains and Rivers” painting has been given a new lease of life.30. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The dance show.B. The famous painting.C. The Northern Song Dynasty.D. The Chongqing Guangnan Grand Theater.31 What is Zhang Han?A. An Art teacher.B. An ancient painter.C. A modern dancer.D. A researcher of the Palace Museum.32. How was the painting “A Panorama of Mountains and Rivers” shown on stage?A. The dancers painted the picture on stage.B. The actors described the painting with music.C. The artists showed the painting through dancing.D. A researcher told the details of the painting on stage.33. Which is one of the values of the show?A. It taught people how to protect an ancient artwork.B. It helped people understand Chinese culture better.C. It attracted more and more people to learn painting.D. It made the history of the Northern Song Dynasty popular.(C)Empathy (共情) is the ability to recognize, understand, and share the thoughts and feelings of another person, animal, or fictional character. Developing empathy is important for building up relationships and behaving compassionately. It involves experiencing another person’s point of view, rather than just one’s own, and helping behaviours that come from within, rather than being forced.Humans begin tо show signs of empathy when they are still babies and the feeling develops through childhood and youth. Babies show an understanding that people’s actions are guided by purposes and are able to act on that understanding before they are 18 months old, including trying to comfort a parent. Research shows that parents who model empathy raise more empathetic children. Still, most people are likely to feel greater empathy for people like themselves and may feel less empathy for those outside their family, community, or race.Empathy helps us work with others build friendships, make moral decisions, and give others a hand when we see them being bullied. A friendship or romantic relationship without empathy and understanding will soon fail. When people only think of their own interests, the other people in the relationships will suffer. Healthy relationships require nurture, care, and understanding.Empathy from a global perspective is even more important. This type of empathy pushes people to dive in and help when there are major disasters. People are willing to help out others that they have never met because they know that they too would need help if things were reversed.Empathy is a word that is often used by many people. It’s commonly known that empathy is a good thing to have, but it shouldn’t always be the most important in people’s lives. People who regularly put the feelings of others above their own may experience feelings of emptiness, sadness and even hopelessness sometimes.First responders, humanitarian aid workers, doctors, journalists, and others whose work involves opening themselves up to others’ pain tend to be highly empathetic. However, they may come to share the heartbreak of those they help or whose stories they record. As such “emotional residue” increases, they may shut down, burn out, and become less willing or able to give of themselves.34. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. What is empathy.B. How people develop empathy.C. When people feel empathy.D. How people discover empathy.35. Which is one of the advantages of empathy?A. It helps babies grow up faster.B. It reduces the number of bullying.C. It helps keep relationships healthy.D. It saves people’s lives in major disasters.36. If people always put others’ feelings above their own, they may ________.A. feel empty and upsetB. be satisfied with themselvesC. have a stronger feeling of empathyD. prefer to share their own stories with others37. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell the advantages of empathy.B. To ask people to show empathy more often.C. To help people more fully understand empathy.D. To teach people how to build healthy relationships.(D)Find a PetRehome a PetHow it WorksAdopt InfoPet Care & HealthShopAdopt the Perfect PetFrom more than 17,000 animals shelters & rescuesNewsletter SignupGet useful adoption info and latest pet tipsDogsCatsOther petsShelters & RescuesNeed to Rehome your Pet?PetsPlanet.com is now offering our Rehome program—the safe, reliable and free way to find a loving new home for your pet.Learn more >What’s New at PetsPlanet.com?¥10,000 Worth of Products!This year, PetsPlanet.com will grant shelters and rescues ¥10,000 worth of products!Click the love circle to learn more about the initiative!Learn more >Find Your Pet FasterWith Premium New Pet Alerts you’ll be notified instantly when you have a new match!Learn more >Pet Adoption TipsWhy adopt a Dog or Cat Over Buying?Did you know that over 1,000 people per hour run a search right here looking to adopt a pet?
