    Beijing Opera is the most representative of all Chinese traditional dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama "Huiban", which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is. scenic (戏剧的) art integrating music, performance, literature, aria (咏叹调) , and face painting.

    Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics.

The name of every British town and city has a long history. 

Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts(凯尔特人). Even the word "Britain" is Celtic. Then the Romans arrived and built camps. These camps became cities called "castra". This is why there are so many place names in England that end in "-chester" or "-caster". Manchester is one example. 

After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by Anglo-Saxon people and became its new owners. These people were from the area that is now Germany and the Netherlands (荷兰). The names of their villages often ended in "-ham" or "-ton". Some got their names from the leaders of the villages, so Birmingham, for example, means "Beormund's village". 

Twelve hundred years ago, Vikings(维京人) came to England. They traded with the Anglo-Saxons but lived in their own villages. These often ended in "-by" or "-thorpe". The name "Kirkby" means "a village with a church(教堂)" and Scunthorpe was the village of a man called Skuma. Finally, in 1066, England became Norman(诺曼人的)—the Normans gave us the place name "grange", which means "farm". 

And how about London? Experts cannot agree! The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first people there. People once believed that the United Kingdom's capital city was named for the castle(城堡) of a king called Lud, but this is almost impossible. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning "a fast-flowing river".

We each have a memory. That's why we can remember things for a long time. Some people have a very good memory and they can {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (easy)learn many things by heart. But others can only remember {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(thing)when they say or do them again and again. 

A good memory. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(help)one learn a language well. Everybody learns his own language when he is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them, and then he learns to speak. For example, some children are living {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they hear, remember and speak the two languages every day. 

As for those children who live in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they)home country, they have po chance(机会)to learn any two or more languages easily. They are not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (live)in a foreign language environment In school it is not easy. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (earning)a foreign language as well That's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the students have little time for it and they have to lean a large number of other subjects, too. 

Our memory can get {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good)if we do more exercises. Do you want to learn a foreign language well? If so, you must do a lot of listening and speaking.
