Alma's peratic take n the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician wh meets her Prince Charming thrugh a sng. "In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning f a ballad — but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens f the land t sing the end f the ballad."
The pera was first perfrmed in Vienna, Australia n December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-ld skillfully switched between the pian and the vilin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The yung genius has since perfrmed tw new pian wrks, nce in Australia and the ther in China.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Daily physical activity is an imprtant part f a healthy lifestyle. Fr this reasn, many architects and designers are wrking t create buildings that encurage peple t make exercise a part f their rdinary rutine. The mvement t prmte healthy activity thrugh architecture is called active design. It began in 1998 as part f a university public health prgram, and it has since gained ppularity in cities arund the wrld. Active design uses a number f techniques t encurage the ccupants f a building t be mre active.
One f the mst imprtant strategies f active design is inspiring peple t make walking part f their rutine. A particularly successful tl fr prmting walking is the skip-stp elevatr. These elevatrs stp nly n every secnd r third flr, leaving riders t take the stairs in rder t reach their destinatin. Anther strategy f active design is t make stairs mre pleasant and inviting. Instead f creating dark stairwells that are lcated in islated parts f buildings, active design uses well-lit and centrally placed stairs t encurage mre ft traffic. Skip-stp elevatrs and appealing stair design are bth effective tls f active design because they ffer incentive and pprtunity fr exercise. In fact, researchers studying a building that emplys bth skip-stp elevatrs and mre attractive stair design said that 70 percent f building ccupants reprted using the stairs every day.
Active design encurages physical activity using nt nly the interir features f a building, but the relatinship between a building and its surrundings as well. A building that emplys active design may integrate utdr space in rder t make the envirnment mre engaging and prmte physical activity. Sme elements that architects use t incrprate the exterir with the interir are glass walls, interir gardens r park spaces, and curtyards with pen ceilings, all f which de-emphasize the bundaries between inside and utside. These elements make the building mre physically and mentally invigrating. Similarly, by increasing the number f entrances and exits t a building, architects can help keep a building's users interested in their surrundings by prviding a variety f rutes fr them t use. If peple cntinue t be stimulated by new sights r experiences, they are less likely t chse the quickest and easiest path t their destinatin and may instead chse a mre physically challenging rute.
（1） What des the underlined wrd “incentive” in paragraph 2 mean? A . requirement B . encuragement C . technique D . assistance
（2） Why des the authr discuss dark stairwells in paragraph 2? A . T demnstrate the differences between elevatr and stairwell design. B . T describe ne advantage f using skip-stp elevatrs in buildings. C . T make a pint abut why peple dn't use the stairs ften. D . T argue that skip-stp elevatrs may lead t design failures.
（3） Which f the fllwing is NOT a way that architects weaken the bundary between indr and utdr spaces? A . Creating mre rutes fr entering and exiting. B . Building gardens inside the building. C . Creating spaces with pen ceilings. D . Using see-thrugh materials.
（4） Hw des paragraph 2 relate t paragraph 3 in the passage? A . Para 2 describes an early mdel f a design discussed in para 3. B . Para 3 argues abut the effectiveness f the technique frm para 2. C . Para 3 intrduces a different strategy than the ne discussed in para 2. D . Para 2 explains a technique, and para 3 gives examples f hw it is used.

Daily physical activity is an imprtant part f a healthy lifestyle. Fr this reasn, many architects and designers are wrking t create buildings that encurage peple t make exercise a part f their rdinary rutine. The mvement t prmte healthy activity thrugh architecture is called active design. It began in 1998 as part f a university public health prgram, and it has since gained ppularity in cities arund the wrld. Active design uses a number f techniques t encurage the ccupants f a building t be mre active.
One f the mst imprtant strategies f active design is inspiring peple t make walking part f their rutine. A particularly successful tl fr prmting walking is the skip-stp elevatr. These elevatrs stp nly n every secnd r third flr, leaving riders t take the stairs in rder t reach their destinatin. Anther strategy f active design is t make stairs mre pleasant and inviting. Instead f creating dark stairwells that are lcated in islated parts f buildings, active design uses well-lit and centrally placed stairs t encurage mre ft traffic. Skip-stp elevatrs and appealing stair design are bth effective tls f active design because they ffer incentive and pprtunity fr exercise. In fact, researchers studying a building that emplys bth skip-stp elevatrs and mre attractive stair design said that 70 percent f building ccupants reprted using the stairs every day.
Active design encurages physical activity using nt nly the interir features f a building, but the relatinship between a building and its surrundings as well. A building that emplys active design may integrate utdr space in rder t make the envirnment mre engaging and prmte physical activity. Sme elements that architects use t incrprate the exterir with the interir are glass walls, interir gardens r park spaces, and curtyards with pen ceilings, all f which de-emphasize the bundaries between inside and utside. These elements make the building mre physically and mentally invigrating. Similarly, by increasing the number f entrances and exits t a building, architects can help keep a building's users interested in their surrundings by prviding a variety f rutes fr them t use. If peple cntinue t be stimulated by new sights r experiences, they are less likely t chse the quickest and easiest path t their destinatin and may instead chse a mre physically challenging rute.
（1） What des the underlined wrd “incentive” in paragraph 2 mean? A . requirement B . encuragement C . technique D . assistance
（2） Why des the authr discuss dark stairwells in paragraph 2? A . T demnstrate the differences between elevatr and stairwell design. B . T describe ne advantage f using skip-stp elevatrs in buildings. C . T make a pint abut why peple dn't use the stairs ften. D . T argue that skip-stp elevatrs may lead t design failures.
（3） Which f the fllwing is NOT a way that architects weaken the bundary between indr and utdr spaces? A . Creating mre rutes fr entering and exiting. B . Building gardens inside the building. C . Creating spaces with pen ceilings. D . Using see-thrugh materials.
（4） Hw des paragraph 2 relate t paragraph 3 in the passage? A . Para 2 describes an early mdel f a design discussed in para 3. B . Para 3 argues abut the effectiveness f the technique frm para 2. C . Para 3 intrduces a different strategy than the ne discussed in para 2. D . Para 2 explains a technique, and para 3 gives examples f hw it is used.
