Cultural TV programs have experienced 【小题1】   come-back at the start of the Chinese New Year. A new program, Readers, has become a hit. Broadcast on China Central Television (CCTV) over the weekend, 【小题2】is bringing fresh【小题3】(enthusiastic) for literature in China. Readers sets out to interpret the power and values behind 【小题4】(tradition) Chinese culture.

The weekly talk show, produced and 【小题5】(host) by famous TV personality Dong Qing, invites people from all 【小题6】(walk) of life to read poems, essays and books they like or wrote. Without any amazing stage design, Readers has brought the almost-lost habit of reading aloud back into the public spotlight, 【小题7】(make) the audience bathe in the beauty of language. The participants also 【小题8】(active) share stories from their own life explaining reasons 【小题9】particular pieces touched their hearts or shaped their lives. In the show, poems can【小题10】(adapt)into songs. Since its broadcast, it has been considered as “a breath of fresh air” among various shows in China.

As of Tuesday, Chinese box office hit “Wolf Warrior 2”  has earned more than 3.4 billion yuan ($507 million),【小题1】 (break) China’s all-time box office record, which 【小题2】 (set) last year by Hong Kong comedy “The Mermaid.”

The leading character is Leng Feng, played by Wu Jing, the film’s writer and director. Leng is a 【小题3】 (fear) former special forces soldier of the People’s Liberation Army. During a military rebellion (反叛) in【小题4】 African country, Leng almost single-handedly helps Chinese workers and African locals escape the war-torn nation. But the fighting scenes alone don’t explain the movie’s 【小题5】 (succeed)--it’s also the patriotism (爱国主义) and spirit of the film projects 【小题6】 have impressed Chinese audiences.

Tong Yemeng, a 32-year-old office worker from Beijing, “I felt so proud of【小题7】 ( I ) country when I saw Wu Jing waving the national flag in the war zone,” she said. “It showed our【小题8】 (increase) national power.”

The movie’s patriotic reaction can be attributed to its timing. “Wolf Warrior 2” hit cinemas as India and China were involved 【小题9】 a border dispute, as the central government is promoting its international Belt and Road Initiative (倡议), 【小题10】 as the People’s Liberation Army celebrated its 90th anniversary.

The 【小题1】 (origin) musical, Titanic, opened on Broadway in 1997 and won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. In February 2002, my school re-made the show and I played one of the 【小题2】 (victim) .

The musical was horrible, according to my parents. Not for lack of talent, of course. Rather, it was sort of depressing watching a group of children repeat the horrible event.

We had a special stage that could rise on one side 【小题3】 (make) it seem like the sinking ship while dramatic music was played in the background. In many a rehearsal (排练), we practiced rolling down it to the “sea”. The-best part was the end of the show, in 【小题4】all of us who died sang a sad song from our watery grave (坟墓). We were not the lucky ones.

I remember myself really 【小题5】 (try) to get into the part. We were not playing fictional characters. This musical 【小题6】 (base) on the lives of real people. We were acting out their personal lives, hopes, dreams 【小题7】deaths. It was 【小题8】 (particular) horrible.

In a school newsletter in May 2002, one student conveyed how he 【小题9】 (feel) at the end of the play: “Usually when 【小题10】 play is over, I say goodbye to my friends. In this play, I said goodbye to everyone, as we became so close in our sailing on the Titanic.
