1986 creative team

One beautiful evening in early March this year my family and I went to see the famous musical
"The Phantom of the Opera" at the Shanghai Grand Theater. Love is its theme; yet love in a love
triangle. A young soprano named Christine attracts the attention of the phantom who , always
wearing a mask, haunts the Paris Opera House, and he falls in love with her. However, Christines
former childhood friend, now a handsome, wealthy young man, loves her, too. The plot unfolds
around the three of them. The singing and acting were superb; all performed with passion while
the chorus parts were done perfectly in tune. From beginning to end the performance was like a
delicious banquet spread out / delicious food put in front of us. It was sheer joy, ending amid the
thunderous applause of the audience.
This musical was first staged in 1986 and its creative team made a name for itself almost
overnight. It has so far played to over 100 million people in 22 countries around the world, a
tremendous triumph indeed.

Sometimes bad luck seems to follow you everywhere. Take, for instance, what happened to me
not long ago. One day I drove to a nearby city on business. At a junction I pulled the car to a halt
as the red light was on; however, a black Buick suddenly collided into my car from behind. I was
slightly injured. Wild with anger I cursed and got out only to find that the woman driver of the
other car appeared to have been knocked unconscious and her young child, who was sitting in the
rear of the car, was hurt, too. I had to fumble in my pockets for my mobile phone and call the
police. In a few minutes a police car came and rushed the lady and her child to hospital. I was,
however, asked to stay where I was. In fact, I didn't leave the scene until two hours later although
I was not to blame at all. By the time I got home all my energy seemed to have deserted me. As to

competence

Aristotle

When my parents took me to America several years ago, everything there felt very alien to me.
Soon after I attended an American high school, I felt desperately lonely because my lack of
competence in English formed a barrier separating my new schoolmates and myself. When my

33
parents found out why I was in such low spirits, they encouraged me to improve myself in
English and enrich my vocabulary by reading extensively. From then on I spent many hours
reading English books and magazines. I was always intrigued by good mysteries, but what
fascinated me most was stories of outstanding scientists. I remember I was greatly impressed by
Albert Einstein whose ideas profoundly changed mankind's basic concepts of space, time, matter
and energy. And I found it amazing that Aristotle had written about 400 books on a variety of
subjects. Stephen Hawking is physically disabled and unable to speak; nevertheless, he has made
a notable contribution to science. What a miracle! Brilliant deeds of the great scientists led /
prompted me to make up my mind to dedicate my life to the pursuit of science.

54
1. A white lie is better than a black lie,

Olympian manhood.

3. with a spirit straining toward true self-esteem, the Negro must boldly throw off the
manacles of self-abnegation

4. What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love
without power is sentimental and anemic.

major crisis of our times.

6. Now, early in this century this proposal would have been greeted with ridicule and
denunciation, as destructive of initiative and responsibility.

7. The fact is that the work which improves the condition of mankind, the work which extends

parts.

55
4. If she had as much talent as she had temper, she would be famous now.

6. A chill started at the top of my head and began to trickle down. Yet I couldnt stop playing, as
though my hands were bewitched. I kept thinking my fingers would adjust themselves back,
like a train switching to the right track.

7. and her face went blank, her mouth closed, her arms went slack, and she backed out of the
room, stunned, as if she were blowing away like a small brown leaf, thin, brittle, lifeless.

8. And for the first time, or so it seemed, I noticed the piece on the right-hand side, It was called
Perfectly Contented I tried to play this one as well. It had a lighter melody but with the
same flowing rhythm and turned out to be quite easy. Pleading Child was shorter but
slower; Perfectly Contented was longer but faster. And after I had played them both a few
times, I realized they were two halves of the same song.

Lesson 3 Goods Move. People Move. Ideas Move. And Cultures Change
1. Today we are in the throes of a worldwide reformation of cultures, a tectonic shift of habits
and dreams called, in the curious vocabulary of social scientists, globalization.

observer terms it, one big McWorld.

nosings about, feelings around, darts, dashes and sudden discoveries of that very shy and
illusive spirit, the imagination.

6. The consciousness of what men will say of a woman who speaks the truth about her passions
had roused her from her artists state of unconsciousness.


7. Inwardly, I think, the case is very different; she has still many ghosts to fight, many prejudices
to overcome.


8. To discuss and define them is I think of great value and importance; for thus only can the

57
 labor be shared, the difficulties be solved.

9. Those aims cannot be taken for granted; they must be perpetually questioned and examined.

Lesson 6 Life Beyond Earth

1. There has arisen a thing called lifeflamboyant, rambunctious, gregarious form of matter,
qualitatively different from rocks, gas, and dust, yet made of the same stuff, the same
humdrum elements lying around everywhere.

2. Extraterrestrial life represents an enormous gap in our knowledge of nature.

3. We don't know how truly alien it is. We don't know if it's built on a foundation of carbon
atoms. We don't know if it requires a liquid-water medium, if it swims or flies or burrows.

4. But neither are people who believe in the UFO narratives irrational, much less crazy, as they
are sometimes depicted.

7. Mars has no such mechanism, and this seemingly minor deficiency may be the reason Mars
lost most of its atmosphere.

billion species. Hence it is a billiontoone long shot.

one proposition.

5. There are few places I the country where the Stars and Stripes has not found a purchase.

6. But many of us define our personal safety and our national character by the very civil liberties
that are being compromised in the name of state security.

never be allowed to happen againand yet it does happen again .
