Beijing People's Art Theater, arguably the most famous professional theater company in China,
will present Teahouse by Lao She, which is the cornerstone of its repertory（剧目）， as its New
York City（NYC） appearance.
Teahouse will play at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts in NYC from 27 Nov. 1 Dec.
this year. The production will be performed in Mandarin Chinese with simultaneous （同时的）

Teahouse is set in a typical, old Beijing teahouse and follows the lives of the owner and his

brings a cast of over sixty actors delivering their characteristic performance. Together, they reflected
the changes in the then Chinese society through the Yutai Teahouse, a place where people from all
walks of life came together.
The production in NYC will be the final stop of a U. S. tour that has also included performances
in Houston and Los Angeles. As a well-received classic in its homeland, Teahouse is a must-see for
everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature, and anyone interested in catching a glimpse
of the remarkable changes in modern China within two hours and thirty minutes.
Tickets are now available to purchase for the price of just $100 apiece（每人） at the booking

I was sitting in between my parents on a 15-hour flight from Toronto to Seoul, where I was
going to negotiate a book project. My Airbnb had enough room for us all. So when my parents brought
it up as a half-joke that they would come, too, I didn't think it was unreasonable.
I was merely 8 when we embarked on our immigration journey. Korea was their country. They
wouldn't need me there as they did in Canada. But the first week proved to be rough. We were upside
down with the time change. My father announced that the first thing they wanted to do was visit my
grandma's grave（坟墓）. We had discussed visiting a few relatives, but going to grandma's grave
had never come up. It was starting: family obligations seized my work time. You guys go, I said.
While my father showered, my mother took me aside. Your dad has always been counting the days
for the moment when he can show her how well you grew up. I laughed but I was deeply moved. So
I decided to accompany them.
As we approached the graveyard, I gathered some colored wildflowers from the parking lot and
tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the headstone. Your name
is on the back, my father said. See here? I looked, and there was my Korean name carved beside
those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our names on the headstone all of us, the living
and dead, connected. I saw a link in a chain that stretches generations back.
I didn't know how to tell them that the trip was amazing. I realized how I was intertwined with
them, and they were interwoven into me. We don't belong to languages or countries. My grandma
died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was too frail（虚弱的） to make the
trip. I hope she knows that we did take her, and that maybe all we have is each other.
24. What was the main reason for the author's trip to Seoul?
A. To visit grandma's graveyard. B. To have a family reunion.
C. To work on a project. D. To accompany his parents.
25. Why did the author initially decline to visit his grandma's grave?
A. He was exhausted from the flight. B. He had work commitments.
C. He liked visiting other relatives better. D. He preferred exploring alone.
26. Why did the author's father want to take him to grandma's grave?
A. To introduce the author to relatives. B. To fulfil a long-awaited wish.
C. To observe a family ceremony. D. To help with weeding.
27. What did the author realize during the trip?
5 / 12
A. Never forget our home country. B. Family is a bridge to our future.
C. The world is one big family. D. Home is the bond with people.

Humans eat an astonishing amount of meat every year-some 800 billion pounds of it, enough
flesh to fill roughly 28 million dump trucks. Our desire for meat, particularly in industrialized
countries like the United States, is one reason why the planet is warming as fast as it is. Raising
animals consumes a lot of land that could otherwise soak up carbon. Cows. sheep, and goats give out
heat-trapping methane （甲烷）. And to grow the corn, soy, and other plants that those animals eat,
farmers spray fertilizer that emits nitrous oxide （一氧化二氮）， another planet-warming gas.
Cutting out meat sounds like an effective approach. But what would happen if everyone actually
stopped eating meat tomorrow? Such a quick shift probably wouldn't cause the sort of turmoil that
would come if the planet immediately abandoned fossil fuels. But still, the consequence could be
quite chaotic, causing different problems.
Researchers say the economic damage caused by the sudden disappearance of meat would fall
disproportionately on low-income countries with farming economies, like Niger or Kenya, where
farming and raising livestock are critical sources of income. Getting rid of livestock overnight would
not only deprive many people of essential nutrients, but also threaten food security, especially in
regions like South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Besides, there's the issue of cultural damage. Taking
away meat, according to Wilson Warren, a history professor at Western Michigan University, would
do more than just deprive Americans of hot dogs and hamburgers and Italians of salami.
Rejecting meat entirely, let alone immediately, isn't an ideal solution to the climate crisis.
Dutkiewicz, a political economist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines established by the
EAT-Lancet Commission, an international group of scientists who have designed a diet intended to
give people the nutrients they need without destroying the planet. 28. What can be inferred from the
first paragraph?
A. Feeding animals costs more than growing plants.
B. The USA consumes the most meat annually.
C. Meat consumption may increase global warming.
D. Fertilizer should be banned around the world.
29. What does the underlined word turmoil mean in paragraph 2?
6 / 12
A. Prediction. B. Disorder. C. Pollution. D. Shortage.
30. Abandoning meat immediately might lead to ______.
A. the global crisis B. improved well-being
C. cultural diversity D. food safety issues
31. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The declining meat industry. B. Specific diet suggestions.
C. Global climate crisis. D. Farmers' protest.

One of the world's greenest office buildings will formally open its doors this week. It's a project
of the environmentally progressive Bullitt Foundation. Its ambition is bold: to showcase an entirely
self-sustaining office building hoping that others will create similar projects.
The first thing that strikes you about the new Bullitt Center is an emphasis on walking. In a
building this size, any place else in Seattle it would have two elevators. Here, the stairway is obvious
and attractive,says Denis Hayes, CEO of the foundation. He explains there is an elevator, but it's
well-hidden. The staircase encourages exercise and the concept helps cut down on energy use.
This is one of dozens of visionary decisions that went into this building. It has eyes, ears, a
nervous system and a brain and it responds to its environment in a way that seeks to optimize （优
化） things, he says. He points across the street to a mini weather station. It sends data to the building
so it can decide what it should do to conserve energy.
I think it's fair to say we were all a bit skeptical in the beginning, says Chris Rogers, the founder
of a firm in cooperation with the foundation. Rogers and the others set out to meet the ambitious goals
of the Living Building Challenge, a green building standard set by local architects.
Clearly this building is not for everyone. If you think of it as simply an office building, it was
relatively pricey to design and build. But if you view it as a laboratory, an educational center and a
bold effort to change how things are built, the calculation changes.
Still, one could wonder, is it possible to build more with similar self-sustaining features at a
reasonable cost? If this building isn't reproducible, then this experiment will have failed, says
Rogers. But if it is successful, he's optimistic others will follow the foundation's lead. Rogers points
out that over the past couple of decades, many builders have been integrating green elements into
their buildings.
7 / 12
32. What motivates the designers to highlight the stairway?
A. To beautify the building. B. To offer convenience.
C. To hide the elevator. D. To conserve energy.
33. Which description best summarizes the Bullitt Center according to paragraph 3?
A. A living organism. B. A first responder.
C. A brain system. D. A data base.
34. Which argument does Chris Rogers hold probably?
A. It is reasonable to hold doubt in the building's future.
B. The building has been inspired by previous efforts.
C. The reproduction of the building is crucial.
D. The building stands for a progressive force.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Look Inside The World's Greenest Building
B. The Outlook For Green Buildings Is Promising
C. How Can We Build More Green Buildings?
D. Will This Super Green Building Be Copied?

Those who consciously focus on each inhalation （吸气） and exhalation （呼气） could gain
some impressive health benefits, especially for those that struggle with meditation （冥想）.
A new controlled study among 108 participants （ divided into two groups: breathing and
meditation）found that over the course of a month, five minutes of daily breath techniques provided
similar benefits to mood and anxiety as five minutes of meditation. 36 The study suggests breathing
exercises may be a more effective and powerful mental health tool than meditation in the treatment
of anxiety.
37 Those who spent five minutes working on their breath each day showed the most stress
relief at the end of the month, with day-on-day improvements in their mental and physiological health.
What's more, the study tested three different breathing techniques. 38 Participants who were
asked to practice cyclic sighing-when exhalations are pronounced and prolonged-showed greater
8 / 12
improvements than those who were asked to practice box breathing-when inhalation, a pause, and
exhalation all match in duration—or cyclic hyperventilation （强力呼吸）-when inhalations are
longer and exhalations are shorter.
Previous studies have shown that inhalations increase heart rate while exhalations decrease it.
Perhaps that's why cyclic sighing is so effective in relaxing the body and mind. Box breathing, on the
other hand, is often used by military personnel to remain calm. 39 As humans, we never fully
have control over our bodies. 40 Practicing a moment of control, even simply to sigh, could be
just what the doctor ordered.
A. One of them seemed to perform the best.
B. That is a reality which shouldn't go unnoticed.
C. Each of the techniques showed the same benefit.
D. Cyclic hyperventilation, on occasion, is used to relieve panic.
E. In fact. participants from the breathing group were even better off.
F. During the study, participants reported on their mood and vital signs.
G. There's something about controlled breathing that seems to set it apart.
