The TV series,The Longest Day in Chang’an,which was shown on Chinese online platforms last summer became a hit soon.Since then,it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad.Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it—the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.

 “I was amazed by the overseas audience’s love for this show,” Cao Dun,director of The Longest Day in Chang’an,told Beijing Review.“I was worried that they wouldn’t understand the complex political structure of the Tang dynasty.But in reality,the show is prompting foreign audiences to research Tang dynasty’s history to better understand the plot.”

The unique culture in ancient China is not a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences.In the TV series,every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character.Telling stories of ordinary Chinese people that resonate(引起共鸣) with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world.“The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders,” he told Beijing Review.

His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world.“The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world,” Cao said.“After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang dynasty,I am looking for several plays that tell stories of today’s China.I don’t want to copy any country’s production.Chinese dramas have to be built on our rich culture and Chinese people’s everyday life,” Cao added.

4.What do we know about the TV series?

A.It was first put on overseas.

B.It can be appreciated for free.

C.It was very popular once it was shown.

Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years.Even with your daily troubles,your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.

I know exactly how you feel.Teenage life can be hard.You are not a kid anymore,because you are smart enough to observe and analyse your surroundings.However,you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences.To top it all,the hormonal(荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up.I have been there.I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!

As a teenager,I had a major problem with completing my chores on time.And at that time,all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments,study for the upcoming tests and clean my room.Now,I have much more things to do:cooking,cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work,family and friends.That really is a lot of work.So,I will just give you one golden tip,quoting from Benjamin Franklin,“Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”

Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down.Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things.We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities.That is why you have so much trouble in your life;your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your assignments.

8.What does the writer mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 1?

A.Teenage life is tough.

B.Teenagers can’t enjoy life.

C.Teenage life is changeable.

D.Teenagers should learn more.

9.What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer?

A.The adolescent changes.

C.The failure of concentration.

D.The unfamiliar surroundings.

10.How did the writer feel about her teenage life?

C.It was enjoyable. D.It was boring.

11.What does the writer advise teenagers to do?

A.Abandon their friends.

B.Go and have fun.

C.Complete their homework.

D.Shoulder the burden.

In the future,therapy patients may spend less time sitting in a therapist’s office and more time exploring virtual worlds.Researchers have created a new virtual reality (VR) app to treat the fear of heights.The app just had a clinical trial.

People developed other VR therapies in the past.These programs needed a real-life therapist to guide patients through the treatment.But the new system only uses an animated avatar(虚拟化身) within the app.The avatar coaches patients as they climb a virtual high-rise.This kind of therapist-free counseling could make it much easier for people to get help for fears and other disorders.

This is “a huge step forward” for VR therapy,says Jennifer Hames,a clinical psychologist.“With this system,people don’t need to visit a therapist’s office to get expert help.They could get help in their regular doctor’s office,or even at home.That could be good for people who aren’t comfortable with face-to-face therapy,or who can’t afford it,” she says.

To test how effective their app was,Freeman and colleagues recruited(招募) 100 adult volunteers,who were moderately to severely afraid of heights.The researchers randomly assigned 49 people to have VR treatment while the other 51 participants got no treatment.Before the experiment began,participants filled out a questionnaire that rated their fear of heights from 16 to 80.They filled out the same questionnaire right after the treatment.Then they did it again two weeks later.

The scores of patients who got no treatment stayed the same.But people who used the VR app dropped an average of about 25 points on the scale.“The results give strong evidence that the new VR program is more helpful than no treatment at all.But it’s not clear how well this type of system could work for more complex mental health issues,” says Mark Hayward,a clinical psychologist at the University of Sussex.“And when it comes to helping people with more severe symptoms,VR probably won’t replace trained therapists any time soon.”

12.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The causes of the fear of heights.

B.The results of the fear of heights.

C.A VR app to treat the fear of heights.

D.The treatment of the fear of heights.

13.What do we know about the VR therapy?

A.It has a therapist to guide patients.

B.It is convenient and doesn’t cost much.

C.It allows patients to climb a real high-rise.

D.It requires patients to go to the therapist’s office.

14.Why did Freeman’s team conduct the experiment?

A.To rate the participants’ fear of heights.

B.To check the effectiveness of the VR app.

C.To find out how severe people’s fear of heights.

D.To explore a new way to improve the treatment.

15.In helping people with more severe symptoms,　　　. 

A.the VR app is very helpful

B.the results of the app are not clear

C.trained therapists are still needed

D.no trained therapists are necessary
