Two European Summer Must ‘Seas’

When you think of summer，the beach，clear water, sunny skies, and relaxing days are a few things that come to mind, and two of the best places to experience these summer feels are two gorgeous European bodies of water: the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea! These two incredible Seas hold some of my favorite travel memories and I would revisit each one in a heart beat!

The Mediterranean Sea

The Mediterranean Sea can be accessed from various European countries as well as a few North African countries. And while many think of visiting Ibiza, Malta, or the Greek islands to experience the Mediterranean, my Mediterranean beach days came while visiting the seaside city of Marseille in the South of France! Marseille was a lovely city with easy access to the Sea, also with pretty sandy beaches. The gorgeous crystal clear blue water made it unlike any beach day in America! Not only were the beaches amazing, but the city of Marseille was adorable and filled with numerous cute shops and seaside restaurants. And the Mediterranean-style food was delicious!

The Adriatic Sea

The Adriatic Sea is equally as stunning and surely worth a visit! The Croatian coast has numerous beach clubs, some private and some public, that tourists are able to visit and you can experience the beauty of the Adriatic Sea there! Zrce Novalja, a Croatian seaside town I visited, was impressively featured by the rather rocky beach in place of sand. The rocks were small and smooth, making swimming in the sea and wading in the water just as easy as sandy beaches! Plus the locals in Croatia are also extremely friendly, making the experience even more memorable.

21. The writer’s trip to the two seas was full of__________.

A. unbearable hardships B. various adventures C. funny events D. wonderful experiences

22. From which place did the writer get to the Mediterranean Sea?

A. Ibiza. B. Malta. C. The Greek islands. D. Marseille.

23. What makes Zrce Novalja so special?

A. Its beach clubs. B. Its beautiful sea. C. Its rocky beach. D. Its friendly locals.

President Barack Obama speaks as he meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping over international security issues during the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, March 31, 2016.

While they report slow progress over major disagreements, what do average citizens in those countries think about each other? A study by the Pew Research Center offers some answers. Only 38 percent of Americans said they have a positive view of China, according to a 2015 Pew survey. And in China, only 44 percent of people surveyed gave the United States a positive rating. Americans expressed concern about the large amount of U.S. debt held by China and the loss of jobs to China. Last year, the U.S. Treasury Department said China held $1.2 trillion in U.S. government debts. People polled in China said they believe the United States is trying to prevent China from becoming as powerful as the U.S.

The views reflect some of the tensions between the nations’ leaders. The United States has been strongly against China’s construction of artificial islands and military facilities along the disputed South China Sea. And there have been disagreements over how to respond to recent North Korean nuclear and missile tests.

A joint statement from U.S. and China after Thursday’s Obama-Xi meeting said both countries agreed to work together on nuclear security. The Obama administration said China has agreed to sanctions to protest recent North Korean nuclear tests.

But Xi expressed opposition to a new missile defense system for South Korea, according to Chinese media reports. Such a system is being considered by U.S. and South Korean leaders to protect South Korea from a North Korean attack.

At the start of his meeting with Xi, Obama said, “Of great importance to both of us is North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, which threatens the security and stability of the region.” Xi said China and the United States “have a responsibility to work together.”

As for issues dividing the two nations, Xi said both sides could “seek active solutions through dialogue and consultation.”

The two leaders met during a 53-nation conference on nuclear security in Washington, D.C.

24. According to a 2015 Pew survey, ________.

A. Most of the Chinese surveyed gave a positive view to the U.S.

B. Neither country was given a high positive rating from each other.

C. Americans believed that China held the most of U.S. government debts.

D. Chinese people surveyed believed that China would become as powerful as the U.S.

25. The American government has a(an) _____ attitude towards China’s construction along the South China Sea.

A. supporting B. uninterested C. opposing D. doubtful

26. Both American and Chinese governments agree on _________.

A. a new missile defense system for South Korea

B. what to do with recent North Korean nuclear and missile tests

C. the cooperation on nuclear security

D. territorial disputes in the South China Sea

27. Which of the statements is not true according to passage?

A. President Obama attached great importance to North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

B. China supports the UN sanctions on North Korean nuclear tests.

C. China is unlikely to work together with the U.S. on North Korean nuclear issues.

D. President Xi suggests dialogue and consultation to settle down the problems between the two nations.

The Beijing Youth Daily on Thursday called attention to the struggles of traditional operas in China.

The newspaper said the number of unique traditional Chinese opera styles had decreased to 286 from 368 in 1959, with three disappearing every two years on average. Altogether, 74 opera styles had only one troupe left, and most were at the risk of fading away.

Xie Boliang, a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, said, “It is well known that people should be held accountable for soil erosion, but why do we feel at ease when traditional operas fade away?”

Overwhelmed by modern culture and entertainment such as movies, TV programs and pop music, traditional Chinese operas have been severely marginalized. Despite being included on the state-level Intangible Cultural Heritage list, some operas still have no place to perform.

Because of the market slump (衰退) and low salaries, more traditional Chinese opera practitioners are finding other work, as are many directors and playwrights. Sun Jiazheng, chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said traditional operas are important carriers of Chinese culture, and should be preserved.

The State Coun
