In traditinal Chinese perfrming arts, there are many classic rles, like sheng, dan, jing, m and chu. Mst peple usually pay little attentin t chu. Hwever, it is a very imprtant part in traditinal Chinese peras. That's because it jins beauty and ugliness tgether perfectly. In the past, the chu perfrmer was the first ne t get dressed and have his make-up dne.
Usually there are tw kinds f chu n the stage, wen chu and wu chu. Wen chu ften has a white patch(小块) painted arund his nse and takes the rles f fisherman, batman, servant and s n. The ther kind is wu chu. Wu chu perfrmers ften wear tight clthing(紧身衣) and mve quickly. They are gd at martial arts(武术) and can jump several meters high. They usually express themselves in lud vices and play humrus rles, fr example, kind thieves.
Chu perfrmers ften make peple laugh by their spken parts and bdy language, instead f singing skills.

They use the rles f chu t bring ut the gd qualities in peple. Maybe it is the charm(魅力) f traditinal Chinese peras.

Dear Sir/Madam,
①It is nw cmmn t g nline in the hme, yet a recent survey shwed that ninety-five percent f parents d nt knw what websites their children visit. I strngly believe that a training prject shuld be started t help parents t imprve their Internet and cmputer skills s that they can better mnitr and guide their children.
②One advantage f prviding training is that it wuld get parents t pay mre attentin t their children's nline activities. If they had a better understanding f the Internet, they wuld see the need t make sure that their children use it prperly and respnsibly.
③Anther argument fr prviding training t parents is that it wuld allw parents t help their children with their schlwrk. These days, a lt f hmewrk needs t be dne n cmputers. If parents have pr cmputer skills, they will be f little r n help with hmewrk, which can make them sad. Sme peple argue that it is gd that students can wrk independently n cmputers. Hwever, it is clear that students, especially yung students, ften need this kind f hme supprt.
④Imprving parents' Internet and cmputer skills might als be a gd way fr parents t imprve their relatinships with their children. These days, children spend a lt f their free time n cmputers. If parents want t be part f that free time, they need t see that playing n cmputers can be a fun family activity. Jining their children can help parents bridge the generatin gap(代沟) between them and their children.
⑤I strngly believe that children need t be helped and guided t use the Internet in a prper and respnsible way, and s training is extremely imprtant.
Yurs faithfully,
Pat Chart
53. In the letter, the writer ______.

D. explains why parents shuld pay mre attentin t their children
54. What des the underlined “they” refer t in the letter?
A. teachers B. parents C. children D. cmputer skills
55. Which f the fllwing best shws the structure f the passage?
56. The letter is prbably frm the part f ______ in a newspaper.
A. culture B. sprts C. health D. educatin
D
