There’s a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedy—the former scares you half to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter.But try watching them without the background music and you just might decide they’re not so different after all.Music and movies have been closely connected since the beginning of the film industry—even before the voices of actors were recorded.In movies,music helps to provide a sense of time and place,convey ideas about the characters and,most importantly,stir up emotions of the audience.
Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the tempo of the music we hear.Using this knowledge,composers use sudden changes in the music to create fear among the audience.A slow tempo will have the opposite effect,bringing about a sense of peace or a dreamlike quality.The use of dissonant (不和谐的) tones and sounds is another technique to increase tension.We naturally become anxious when hearing dissonant sounds because such noises are usually associated with danger,like those that animals make to warn against predators (捕食者).
Crucial as it is,the best film music is subtle.All that the audience are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion—they couldn’t realise what’s causing it.Only when the music is taken out of the film could the audience understand its effects.
In keeping with this principle,some film-makers are even using what’s called “infrasound” (次声) to arouse fear.While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below the audible range of the human ear,infrasound has proven to cause anxiety,trembles and even sorrow.For example,infrasound was used in the soundtrack of a 2007 horror movie,and the audience showed extremely high fear levels despite the lack of action throughout the movie.“It doesn’t affect everyone equally,” said British writer Philip Ball,author of The Music Instinct,but he predicted that we would see more of it used in movies in the future.

Cantonese Opera (粤剧) is one of the major Chinese opera categories.It is a traditional Chinese art form that originated in China’s Cantonese culture,and involves music,singing, martial arts,acrobatics and acting.Today it is not only very popular in Guangdong,Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macao,but also performed all around the world.
Cantonese Opera was originally called Nanxi(Southern Opera) in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty,and this beautiful art form has pleased audiences for hundreds of years.By absorbing the folk melodies and tunes of Guangdong,and mixing many different opera styles that were popular at the time,Cantonese Opera developed during the 16th century.With the unique combination of these different influences,Nanxi was developed into Cantonese Opera.
Cantonese Opera is a wonderful mix of storytelling,music and fighting.The performances are often based on well-known traditional stories or events from Chinese history.The colourful sets serve as the background for these performances and actors appear on stage with similarly colourful face paint.Fights are a common and important part of many shows with actors performing difficult and exciting martial arts movements.
In the beginning,Cantonese Opera costumes reflected the clothing style of the Ming Dynasty.Later,as Peking Opera became increasingly popular,it was strongly influenced by Peking Opera costumes.Costumes were made of cloth and later some accessories (配饰) were added.Different roles require different costumes.For example,an actor playing the Xiaosheng,a very gentle role,wears a costume with long sleeves;while the Xiaowu,an acting role,demands a costume with short sleeves so as to act easily.
Many well-known operas are still performed today,such as The Purple Hairpin and Rejuvenation of the Red Plum Flower,which originated in the Yuan Dynasty.Other Cantonese operas are adapted from western movies or novels.Generally,Cantonese Opera performers have to master four skills:singing,acting/movement,delivery of speeches,and martial/gymnastic skills.
Because of its long tradition and its importance in the development of Chinese arts and culture,Cantonese Opera was included on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2009.

In early twentieth-century France,a new form of entertainment was becoming a hit—motion pictures.People crowded into theatres for short,silent,black-and-white films that showed everyday happenings,such as a train pulling into a station.These pictures were dimly projected (投射) onto white sheets.Usually,there was no sound.Sometimes,men at pianos played music to match the scenes.
Moving images in theatres are no longer new,but back at the beginning of the art form,surprises lurked (潜伏) around every corner.During the first showing of silent movies,some people in the audience screamed in fear,reacting to what they saw as if it were happening in real life.Moviegoers (常看电影的人) were known to leap out of their seats during a movie.At that time,few people understood what motion pictures which were put on in the cinema were,so audience members could easily be fooled.
Today,people crowd into theatres for the appealing 3D movies.Even older movies,such as the popular Star Wars series,are being re-released in 3D.Moviemakers are excited about the ability to involve the audience more directly in the story or film.In addition,theatres spend tens of thousands of dollars on high-quality audio systems so that everything from the safest whispers to the largest explosions sounds clear and realistic.
What will movies be like in 100 years Will audiences be able to smell scents in the films,taste the food that characters are eating,or even become part of the stories themselves Only time will tell.

5.　　
Watching cartoons,the viewers enter fantastic worlds and cartoons have become works of art.Just remember the first scene in the Lion King.The sun comes up and animals from all over the jungle come to meet the new lion club.In recent years,cartoons use photo-realistic environments to make the scene bigger and better.
A.A feast for the eyes.
B.A little treat for adults.
C.Plenty of talent works in producing cartoons.
D.They remind us of ourselves,our strengths and weaknesses.
E.Cartoons bring out that specific feeling,longing for our lost childhood.
F.And there is also the chance that adults will love a kids’ movie more.
G.They overcome barriers,trying to find true meaning and happiness in their existence.

In early twentieth-century France,a new form of entertainment was becoming a hit—motion pictures.People crowded into theatres for short,silent,black-and-white films that showed everyday happenings,such as a train pulling into a station.These pictures were dimly projected (投射) onto white sheets.Usually,there was no sound.Sometimes,men at pianos played music to match the scenes.
Moving images in theatres are no longer new,but back at the beginning of the art form,surprises lurked (潜伏) around every corner.During the first showing of silent movies,some people in the audience screamed in fear,reacting to what they saw as if it were happening in real life.Moviegoers (常看电影的人) were known to leap out of their seats during a movie.At that time,few people understood what motion pictures which were put on in the cinema were,so audience members could easily be fooled.
Today,people crowd into theatres for the appealing 3D movies.Even older movies,such as the popular Star Wars series,are being re-released in 3D.Moviemakers are excited about the ability to involve the audience more directly in the story or film.In addition,theatres spend tens of thousands of dollars on high-quality audio systems so that everything from the safest whispers to the largest explosions sounds clear and realistic.
What will movies be like in 100 years Will audiences be able to smell scents in the films,taste the food that characters are eating,or even become part of the stories themselves Only time will tell.

Cantonese Opera (粤剧) is one of the major Chinese opera categories.It is a traditional Chinese art form that originated in China’s Cantonese culture,and involves music,singing, martial arts,acrobatics and acting.Today it is not only very popular in Guangdong,Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macao,but also performed all around the world.
Cantonese Opera was originally called Nanxi(Southern Opera) in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty,and this beautiful art form has pleased audiences for hundreds of years.By absorbing the folk melodies and tunes of Guangdong,and mixing many different opera styles that were popular at the time,Cantonese Opera developed during the 16th century.With the unique combination of these different influences,Nanxi was developed into Cantonese Opera.
Cantonese Opera is a wonderful mix of storytelling,music and fighting.The performances are often based on well-known traditional stories or events from Chinese history.The colourful sets serve as the background for these performances and actors appear on stage with similarly colourful face paint.Fights are a common and important part of many shows with actors performing difficult and exciting martial arts movements.
In the beginning,Cantonese Opera costumes reflected the clothing style of the Ming Dynasty.Later,as Peking Opera became increasingly popular,it was strongly influenced by Peking Opera costumes.Costumes were made of cloth and later some accessories (配饰) were added.Different roles require different costumes.For example,an actor playing the Xiaosheng,a very gentle role,wears a costume with long sleeves;while the Xiaowu,an acting role,demands a costume with short sleeves so as to act easily.
Many well-known operas are still performed today,such as The Purple Hairpin and Rejuvenation of the Red Plum Flower,which originated in the Yuan Dynasty.Other Cantonese operas are adapted from western movies or novels.Generally,Cantonese Opera performers have to master four skills:singing,acting/movement,delivery of speeches,and martial/gymnastic skills.
Because of its long tradition and its importance in the development of Chinese arts and culture,Cantonese Opera was included on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2009.
