You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?

Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions《红楼梦》），written by Cao Xueqin （1715-1763）. Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it comes to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.

Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds （背景）in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.

The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Huang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy （悲剧）that everyone would understand.

The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes （服装）and stage settings （布景）.He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.

The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.

1.Who wrote the opera for the Chinese classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions?

4.The “land” in the last paragraph refers to?

A.America B.San Francisco

C.China D.the place where David was born

5.Why did the creators make the book into an English-language opera?

You may have heard of snipers (狙击手), or seen snipers in movies and computer games. They are people who can shoot and kill from a long distance. But do you know that we have real snipers in our police?

Early this month, a man kidnapped a little girl with a knife in Beijing. Police came to talk to him, but he didn’t let the girl go and was hurting the girl. A sniper shot him dead.

In Beijing, there are over 300 police snipers. They work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to protect the capital.

How do snipers get trained? What are their lives like? An expert(专家)with the Beijing sniper team shares some of the team’s secrets with us.

Q: How do you choose snipers?

A: We choose snipers from the Beijing police. There are no strict rules about the height and weight of our snipers, but they must have very good eyesight. The weapon(武器) they use is around 3.5 kg. Sometimes snipers need to hold it for hours. So, snipers need to have a strong body. They also need to pass written psychology (心理) tests.

Q: What is the most important quality of a sniper?

A: A good state of mind. Snipers need to be calm all the time. Sometimes, they may get ready for shooting for a whole day. They cannot talk, eat or drink during that time.

Q: What kind of training do snipers usually get?

A: The practice they often get is 100 meters distance shooting. They practice shooting in all kinds of weather, including windy and snowy days.

Q: Is it possible that a sniper may miss his target (目标)?

A: That is not possible. The only standard for being a sniper is to take a life with one bullet (子弹).

However, snipers are not killers. They only pull the trigger (扣动扳机) when they have to.

1.Which of the following is NOT true about the snipers?
