外刊阅读 约翰·索恩爵士博物馆——18 世纪的伦敦写照
If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane’s Museum. The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect, lived in London during the 18th century(1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about his family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series of interesting paintings about 18th-century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see.
Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum. There is a free hour-long guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 pm, but the best thing is just to walk about by yourself. So now you know where to go next time you’re in London. We guarantee that it’s an experience you won’t forget!

时文阅读 跨文化传承中国京剧
A British man has learned the skills needed to perform Beijing Opera, making the audience enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King.
Ghaffar Pourazar said he has been a big fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child and is full of interest about China. In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London. Ghaffar said he fell in love with the beautiful voices, colourful costumes, excellent shows and so on. So after one year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school.
At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day. At the time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest obstacle. But he never gave up.
Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King. He said he arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character.
Ghaffar today is not only good at speaking the Beijing dialect but has also built a fame for Beijing Opera. He once got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King.
To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain and other countries. When he found that the language was difficult to understand, he started to translate Beijing Opera song lyrics. Ghaffar led a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States. He also led a 48-member team to perform in Malaysia. In the past 10 years, he has performed in more than 400 shows.

Reading a good book is like talking to a wise man. As for me, my favorite book is Little Women, which is a classic literary work. It comes from the writer’s own experiences and tells about the growing up of four sisters.
The four girls live a hard life but choose to help their neighbors. No matter how hard the life is, the four sisters are active and try to make a living. To achieve their dreams, they get over different kinds of difficulties.
All in all, Little Women is a masterpiece of classic literature and is worth reading. By reading this book, I learned how to face challenges in my life. I will take the girls as my models and try hard to realize my dream.
