21.My name is John,I'm from England.When I was young,I was so interested in Chinese culture like Beijing Opera.I often dreamed to go to China one day.When I was learning theater at university,I was provided with a chance to study abroad.There was a program to study Asian theater arts either in China or in India.I decided to go to China and learn Beijing Opera in a Chinese theater school.The school offered me a place to practice.It was good because I could practice whenever I wanted.Also I had a private lesson—the teacher would give me one—to-one class for three hours.That was the best part of my study in China. Beijing Opera is also called Peking Opera.It is the highest expression of the Chinese culture.It's full of famous stories,beautiful facial paintings and wonderful fighting.This kind of opera is very popular with Chinese people.There are four main roles in Beijing Opera.A Wusheng is a soldier or fighter.A Xiaosheng is a young man.A Laosheng is an old man.Dan is a woman.Stories in Beijing Opera are very interesting,some of them are from history book,but most of them are from the literature,especially famous novels.The stories usually end with happiness. I got a lot from my study in China.It has greatly influenced me and helped me develop into a more skillful actor.This Chinese art gives me plenty of tools,so I can use them when I perform other shows in Europe.I have set up an art center to teach Beijing Opera.Now there are more fans of Beijing Opera in my country.

25.As a traveller,businessman,and owner of the Linden Center Hotel,sixty-year-old American Brian Linden has lived in the village in South China's Yunnan province for nearly twenty years.He now thinks of himself as one of the"cool new Dali people". Brian was born in Chicago,the USA.He first visited China in 1984.He got a scholarship(獎學(xué)金) from the Chinese government and came to study in Beijing.During his stay,he showed great interest in Chinese culture and would love to be its communicator(交流者). After working and traveling in over a hundred countries,he gave up his job in the US,sold his house,moved to China with his wife and two sons in 2004.He wanted to find a place and create a new lifestyle.After a tour around China,Brian and his wife at last decided to live in Xizhou,a small town not far from Dali. "I'm a fan of China's traditional(傳統(tǒng)的) buildings.Xizhou is a beautiful town with hundreds of old buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties.Traditions here remain as alive as ever,and the local people treat me like family,"said Brian. It cost Brian all his money to turn a Bai style house into a hotel for foreign tourists.Of course,the Dali government helped him a lot.Now the house is famous as the Linden Center Hotel.It offers international education programmes to European and American schools.It also opens 50% of its space to the public.This gives a place for more people to communicate with the villagers.It offers free English classes to villagers once a week. When talking about his future(未來),Brian said that he plans to do more to share with the world the beauty of China."We want to turn Xizhou into a window for foreigners to learn about China.I hope that through my hard work,more and more people will fall in love with China."
