34．Have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu？Can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese？
Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions （ 《 紅 樓 夢(mèng) 》 ），written by Cao Xueqin（1715-1763）.Now the book has been made into an English-language opera.After being performed in San Francisco，US，the performance came to Beijing，Changsha and Wuhan in 2017.
Many of the opera's creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures，including the director and playwrights.Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera.
The book，which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family，has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters.But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven.Hwang，a Chinese-American，focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroking tragedy（悲?。?that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip，from Hong Kong，tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings（布景）.He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume.When Lin showed up on stage，there was usually water around her on the stage.
The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences.Hwang told China Daily he was happy to "have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born."

35．Dirty water can be dangerous to drink and make people get ill.It is harmful to the environment and it may hurt the animals.So where is the dirty water from？
Sewage（污水） is a big part of dirty water.In many places，it goes straight into rivers，lakes or seas.Too much sewage will kill fish and other water lives.It makes the water unsafe for animals to drink，wash or swim.So we must let the sewage go into rivers in a right way.
Oil is important，but it may be bad for the environment.If a truck or a ship leaks（泄漏） oil，plants and animals may die.For example，when the birds' bodies are full of oil，they aren't able to fly.Their feathers may no longer protect them from the cold weather.
Factories often pour waste water into rivers.This may do harm to plants，animals and humans.Some factories filter the waste water before it goes into rivers.In this way，the waste water won't pollute the river and this helps to keep the environment clean.
Smoke and gases from factories and cars in the air may pollute the environment.When it rains，the chemicals in smoke and gases fall down together with the rain.They can kill plants and animals.
As we all know，water is an important part of human life.And the water resources（資源） are not enough on Earth.So we should try our best to save water and protect the valuable water resources in our daily lives.At the same time，we can also encourage more people to join us.
（1）Why do we need to make the sewage go into the rivers rightly？
A.The sewage will look dirty.
B.The sewage will pollute the air.
C.The sewage will kill some animals.
D.The sewage will make the drinking water taste bad.
（2）What does the underlined word "filter" in Paragraph4 mean？
A.Clean.
B.Add.
C.Throw.
D.Produce.
（3）Dirty water comes from the following EXCEPT.
A.rain with chemicals in smoke and gases

（4）According to the passage，we can save water by doing the following things EXCEPT.
A.avoiding leaking oil into the environment
B.pouring waste water into rivers in a right way
C.stopping factories from discharging too many harmful gases
D.making drinking water from the sewage
（5）What is the purpose of the passage？
