As a high school student with English literature as one of my main subjects, I thought I knew a lot about Hamlet, so I was full of 【小题1】 (confident) until I saw The Revenge of Prince Zidan —the Peking Opera version of Hamlet.

At the beginning, the opera brought a completely new sound to my Western ears. I thought 【小题2】 I heard was a violin, but later I learned that it was 【小题3】 instrument called jinghu.

Seeing the main characters come on stage, I was 【小题4】 (surprise). The costumes and masks 【小题5】 (be) also amazing. The performers sang in Chinese, but the music, movements and mime helped get the meanings across to me. Using some techniques, the opera had transformed a small stage 【小题6】 the whole universe.

My favourite part of the show was the movements of the characters. It was so dazzling and energetic 【小题7】 I wasn’t sure whether the characters were 【小题8】 (perform) or athletes!

So, if you want 【小题9】 (see) a show 【小题10】 combines music, singing, drama, poetry and costume design with explosive effect, The Revenge of Prince Zidan ticks all the right boxes!

The Wandering Earth is a Chinese science fiction movie, 【小题1】 is based on the novel of 【小题2】 same name by Liu Cixin, and was released on February 5, 2019, the Chinese New Year’s Day.

After learning the sun is dying out ,people all around the world feel 【小题3】(panic),so they build giant planet thrusters(星球推进器)to move the earth out of its orbit and sail 【小题4】to a new star system. The 2500 years’ journey comes with unexpected dangers, but in order to save humanity, a group of young people come out bravely and fight hard for everyone’s【小题5】 (survive)。

We 【小题6】 (impress) to see the theme of this film. It doesn’t particularly show somebody’s ability to save our world 【小题7】 shows all the human beings are working together,【小题8】(spare)no effort to save this world.

The Wandering Earth is seen by people 【小题9】the dawn(开端) of Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China’s sci-fi movies have【小题10】(official) set sail.

Post-00s is a documentary about growing up, 【小题1】 covers almost every aspect of Millennials’ (千禧一代的) experiences on their path toward adolescence. But this five-episode series is 【小题2】 (basic) different from any other TV program with a similar theme. Post-00s was filmed over 10 years, during which it followed several kids from their infancy to adolescence. In 【小题3】 words, the show’s characters and their stories are all real.

“Coming-of-age” stories, as we know, have a special appeal. They satisfy our 【小题4】 (curious) of looking at others’ life, and we become 【小题5】 (attach) to the characters as if we truly knew them.

This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film winning the Silver Bear award for best director. During a period of 12 years, the film 【小题6】 (follow) the life of Mason Jr. — played by US actor Ellar Coltrane—from when he was 6 years old 【小题7】 when he finished high school.

One of Boyhood’s attractions comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr. isn’t some child genius, 【小题8】 rather a fairly typical American boy who grows up in the Texas suburbs.

Ordinary 【小题9】 coming-of-age stories may look on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see the power of life 【小题10】 (it).
