Icing on the cake was on New Year’s Eve. We landed in the Doha airport at11:40 pm, and were determined to do something more fun and different, even though we were a little sleepy.The idea is getting huge bags of chocolates and passing them out to strangers in the Doha airport, along with a lively and cheerful “Happy New Year!” At first, we got rejected, and the staff looked at us strangely(they have strict rules on not accepting gifts—even tiny ones).

In some parts of the world, like Indonesia, a pupp et show is an activity enjoyed by people of all ages.At most puppet shows, the audience sits on one side of the screen and the puppeteer (操纵木偶的人) sits on the other. However, at an Indonesian shadow puppet show, the audience can choose which side to sit on. From out front, audience members see shadows of puppets acting out exciting scenes of roman ce or battle. These people enjoy the fantasy that “real” events are taking place.Behind the scenes, it can be fascinating to see a dalang, or puppeteer, in action. The dalang manipulates puppets made of buffalo hide by moving attached rods(棒) of buffalo horn or bamboo. Each of a puppet’s arms and the main part of its body have their own rods, but its legs are rarely moved on their own.Each puppet has its own voice and its own way of moving. The “good” puppets usually speak calmly and move gracefully.; the “bad” ones have rough voices and move in a funny way. The stories acted out by the puppets are often based on ancient myths or legends. A specially written puppet show might also celebrate a birth, wedding, or harve st. Sometimes a dalang chooses an old story that he thinks is appropriate for the village where the performance will take place. Before the show, he may ask lo cal people about current events in the village and then use the puppet show to illustrate possible solutions to local problems.The audience of a shadow puppet show expects to settle in for a long evening. A show may start in the later afternoon and not end until four o’clock the next morning! Children and adults alike may fall asleep in the middle of a show and wake up hours later to find it still going on. Of course, the dalang must remain alert throughout the show. One dalang remarked,”I have no real sense of time until it’s all over.”29.The text would be of most interest to readers looking for information about _______.A. forms of entertainment in other culturesB. how to create their own puppet showC. how to make their own puppetsD. everyday life in Indonesia30.How is an Indonesian puppet show different from most other puppet shows?A.

The dalang attempts to personalize the puppet show for the audience.C. The audience determines the puppets’ voice and way of moving.D. A dalang offers solutions to local problems before the show.DThe Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It was one of the poorest nations in the region. Within the last five years, however, it has become a hot spot for adventure travelers. In 2006 it was voted the happiest place on Earth.

There are three official languages: English, French, and Bislama. Bislama developed from South Pacific English, a simplified language that traders and other foreigners used it to communicate with speakers of the many local languages.Most of the islands are mountainous and of volcanic origin. There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu, including Yasur on the island of Tanna, one of the world’s most accessible volcanoes. If you’ve ever fancied getting close to a volcano, here’s your chance.Vanuatu Post’s Underwater Post Office has quickly become one of the busiest post offices for postcards in the world! Visitors from around the world want to experience the world’s first underwater post office.
