     Beijing Opera, as one of Chinese traditional opera forms, is regarded as the national opera of China and well received all over the world.
     Beijing Opera arose in the late 18th century with a history of more than 200 years whose origin can date back to some old local operas, especially the Anhui Opera. It became fully developed and recognized by the mid-19th century. Now it's the biggest kind of opera in China, whose popularity spread all over the country, becoming the most popular dramatic (戏剧的) form on Chinese stage.
     There are four basic methods employed in a Beijing Opera performance: chang, nian, zuo, da. Generally speaking, chang means singing, and nian recitation (背诵) and oral communication, while zuo means the facial and body expressions and acting and da is Chinese Kungfu. Beijing Opera also has four main types of performers namely Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Sheng and Dan mean the main roles in the opera. The painted face, in Chinese called 'jing', is a name for the role of the man that has some special characteristic or appearance. Chou is easily understood from the role's name as a clown with an ugly appearance, who is to provide light relief and comedy.
     In recent years, Beijing Opera has tried to make some changes, including improving the performance quality. Widely spreading all over China with great influence, Beijing Opera contains the spirit of Chinese national culture, but the shortage of funding has become a big problem as the form enters the 21st century. There is no doubt that it is a treasure of Chinese culture!

American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment，ethnic diversity and plural religion，which is quite different from other nations in the world．What is more，these elements are still influencing the American culture．
   The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America from 1607 to 1892．Frontiers were pushed further west．The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise，opportunity and freedom．Actually they looked for a better life．So individualism，selfreliance，and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America．

  The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism（多元化）；almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States．
  Nowadays，we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children．Middleaged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children．The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place．Quite a number of people change residences every year．The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime．

    Paying attention to what people don't   (22)   can teach us something important about their culture. Their taboo topics give us clues about what they value, respect or even fear. Topics that are considered too personal or too controversial (有争议的) may also be avoided.

    In Brazil,   (31)  , almost anything seems open to discussion. "Brazilians talk about all kinds of personal issues," says Mark Quinlan, who grew up in Brazil. But of course, even Brazil has its own taboos. In Brazil, soccer is the one topic that can turn friends into enemies. Brazilians love the sport. Saying anything   (32)   about soccer can cause big trouble. Even expressing preference for one team over another can be   (33)  .
    Like Brazilians, Australians talk freely about almost anything. However, they do not talk about their personal or business   (34)  . They prefer to let people judge them by their actions, not their words. Boasting (夸大) your achievements will only make you the   (35)   of other people's jokes.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Living in a foreign country probably sounds exciting and romantic to you． Just imagine the

 noises from the local market or the smell of strange flowers when you leave the house in the 

morning． But this doesn't mean that life abroad is easy． When people set foot in a foreign land，

they tend to keep to what is familiar． Becoming a part of the local culture can be the hardest part 

of life abroad．
    However， in order to get the most of their life abroad， people need to break out of their comfortable routines and explore． The moment you let go of false ideas and stereotypes， you are ready to take your first major step． And more often than not， living in a foreign country can be a 

truly life-changing experience．
    Even for experienced travellers， it is not as easy as it seems to get used to life abroad． Making the transition from living like a visiting holidaymaker to living like a local takes time． Culture 

shock is part of living abroad and hits everyone eventually． The key is not to let it get the better of you．You have to accept that things are not the same as they are at home and，until you get to 

that point， try to respectful， patient and humble．
    Another problem is that the charm of a foreign life could wear off as time passes by． For most people， a foreign culture appears strange and exciting at first． After all， the main reason for 

moving broad is of ten the wish to explore foreign cultures． However， after living in a foreign 

country for a while， little things that you once thought were charming begin to annoy you． You 

remember how everything ran on schedule back home， how beautiful your hometown was and 

how much more relaxed and friendly everyone seemed to be．
    So， you'd better understand issues with the local food， or problems with adjusting to the pace of life as you live abroad someday in the future．
