Shadow Play, known as ―Yingzixi‖, ―Dengyingxi‖ or ―Lvpiying‖, is a type of folk show originated and performed in China. It is considered as the precursor of modern movie. The shadow puppets are made of transparent donkey‘s leather or sometimes ox or sheep leather. Projected to a white cloth screen, these transparent puppets become very lively and beautiful under the lamp illumination. Shadow Play is extremely popular in the north of China. Shadow Play has a history of over 2,000 years. Legend has it that Shadow Play started in the Han Dynasty. Shadow Play became quite popular in the Song Dynasty when holidays were marked by the performance of many Shadow Plays. During the Ming Dynasty there were 40 to 50 shadow play troupes in Beijing. In the late 13th century Shadow Play became a kind of regular entertainment in the Mongolian troops of Yuan Dynasty. Shadow Play was spread by the conquering Mongolians to distant countries like Persia, Arabia and Turkey. Later, the art was introduced to southeastern Asian countries, too.

When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it‘s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in t heir arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don‘t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remain as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting.
It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‗the sporting spirit‘ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.
Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally – admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would

29. The main idea of this passage is _____.

C. to show human beings in the past know nothing better. D. to indicate human beings are used to bloodthirsty.
31. How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage? A. Three.

For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso's only company，visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread﹣the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island．It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand．The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him，with his smile from ear to ear．

Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso，his mate and their two children standing．But at the end of 2013they died within days of each other and Ponso was now completely alone．

A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to Toronto with my granddaughter who just turned three years old. The two of us were on our way to 41 her parents, and my wife—her 42 who had been gone for over a week. We were all anxious to 43 again and as I pulled out of Mamere and Papere‘s driveway in Chelmsford, Hailee and I were both 44 about the trip and couldn‘t wait to arrive at our 45 . When we completed the ―SEVEN‖-hour trip to Toronto later that day, the reunion was absolutely 46 and I can sincerely say I enjoyed every single minute of that 47 journey.
Hailee is at that ―I want to 48 it myself‖ stage of her life. And if you can just get over the ―hurry-up syndrome‖ we acquire as 49 , it is wonderful to witness. Who knew that putting a straw into the 50 in a juice box for the very first time could be such an earth-shattering (惊天动地的) event? Or being 51 enough to actually open the fridge door for the first time? Or putting on your own 52 on the right feet would be so 53 ? I‘ll never forget the look on her face the day she was able to 54 into my truck by herself. She finally 55 on my seat, holding onto the steering wheel (方向盘) and declared 56 , ―I did it!‖ And when she could actually put her own seat belt on—what a(n) 57 ! Have you ever watched a three-year-old 58 to sip a McDonald‘s milkshake through a straw? It is hard enough for an adult, too. And 59 every time the icy solution (溶液) touched her lips, you could see the 60 in her eyes. I learned that you can‘t hurry a child through a milkshake.
