For a 400-year-old art form，opera(歌剧) had a bad fame: overweight actresses singing the words which were hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school. And with tickets costing as much as $145 a performance, opera-goers（常去看歌剧的人） also had a certain appearance in people's mind: rich，well-dressed and old.
But now opera companies around the country are （尝试）to keep opera alive and take it to a younger and not so wealthy audience.
Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd, they need to make the opera closer to common people. Because young people don't or won't come to the opera, companies are bringing the opera to them, giving performances in such unusual places as parks, libraries and public schools.
The Houston Grand Opera's choice is the public library, where it performs “mobile operas”, shortened versions(简装剧本) of child-friendly operas. This summer's production is Hansel ＆Gretel. By performing smaller versions of large productions, producers are able to make people interested while keeping costs at a reasonable level. The San Francisco Opera, which will be celebrating its 75th anniversary(周年) this year, is staging Cinderella free of charge, keeping costs down by employing students from its Young Artists' Training Program.

A. Opera is famous for its long history.

A. celebrate its 75th anniversary B. reduce the cost

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about a discussion we have had about
whether students of Senior One should take physical exercise or not. 15
There are two different opinions about it.
55% of the students think they should take physical exercise
everyday, such as doing morning exercises, playing ping-pong and
basketball, but should not take too much time. In their opinion, exercise builds up one’s body and reduce the chance of falling ill. What’s more, sports let their brains relax so that they can improve the efficiency of revision.
On the other hand, 45% of them believe it is a waste of time to take exercise. Also, it’s very tiring. After having sports, they think, they are too excited for a long time to fix their attention on their lessons. Sometimes it is likely to get hurt in sports.
Personally speaking, I believe that regular exercise is necessary and we should keep a balance between study and exercise.
Best wishes.
Yours
