Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Wearing long robes (长袍) and tall hats, a group of foreigners went on stage and performed Peking Opera and ballads (民谣), as well as spoke Chinese.
You can see scenes like this at the 12th “Chinese bridge”—Chinese Proficiency (能力) Competition for Foreign Secondary School Students. Known as the “Olympics” of Chinese language, the competition took place in Zhengzhou, Henan on Nov 2.
More than 120 students, representing 105 countries, gave Chinese speeches and showed off their talent in areas such as kung fu, tai chi and calligraphy (书法).
Mackova Victoria, a 15-year-old girl from Slovakia, performed Wuqinxi at the competition. She imitated the movements of a tiger, deer, hear, ape and bird on stage. She gained an interest in traditional martial arts (武术) after she found that it could help her relax her muscles (肌肉) and stay fit. “The 2,000-year-old exercise is cool, but few people have heard of it,” Victoria told Xinhua. “I want more foreign people to appreciate it, as well as appreciate Chinese culture.”
Raissa, 17, from the Union of the Comoros, sang the Chinese song Wish You Safe and Well (祝你平安) during the second-round competition. “It is also my sincere wish for the people of China and the Comoros,” said Raissa. After doctors on the Chinese medical team in Africa cured her grandmother three years ago, Raissa developed a strong emotional connection with China. “My dream is to study medicine in China so that I could cure patients like the Chinese doctors who treated my grandmother,” said Raissa.
At the end of the final contest, Germole Iacopo from Italy, who has studied Chinese for four years, won as the champion (冠军). For him, the competition gave him a chance to communicate with young people all around the world. “We should learn to appreciate each other’s differences,” Germole said.
The competition is a “bridge” that shows “________.”, according to Liu Limin, board member of the Confucius Institute (孔子学院). “By studying a language, you actually start to connect with that culture,” Liu added.
58. More than 120 students from 105 countries took part in the competition, didn’t they?
