Add some drugs, some colorful clothing, and plenty of bottled water and you have what is called a rave.Raves are

15、a fairly recent phenomenon in the West. The firstrave probably took place about 10 years ago. However, their popularity has increased dramatically over the last decade. Today, in almost every big city and in many small citied you can find young people heading out for a nightof raving.For most young

16、people, raves are simply a way to get ride of some energy, to listen to some good music, and to meet some new people. However, for an increasing number of people, raves have become an easy place to find drugs, especially a drug called Ecstasy. Today, officialsare beginning to wonder of the raves rea

17、lly are good fun, or whether they are, in fact, a dangeroustrend among uncontrollable young people.The drug Ecstasy was first developed about 50 years ago by chemists looking for a cure for the headache. At that time, the drug was not used very widely. However, it was noted that the drug caused an i

18、ncrease in heart rate and an increase in energy-a sort of euphoric feeling.The drug was “ rediscovered by ”drug addicts in the 1980s who were lookingfora lessdangerous way to get high. So, when raves began in the early 1990s, Ecstasy was already quite readily available. It was seen by ravers as the

19、perfect drug. it gave them lots of energy for their all- night dances, and it didn t seem to have any serious side effects.However, the perception of Ecstasy as a safe drug has recently begun to change. In the last year, about 10 people have died in raves from an Ecstasy overdose. The increasing ava

20、ilability of the drug means that more people have begun to use the drug more often. It is certain that the death toll will increase in the next few years.Officials have begun to take notice. Laws have recently been passed in several large North American cities which limit or in some cases forbid rav

21、es. In addition, young people have become more aware of dangers of Ecstasy and other similar drugs. Hopefully,the situation willnot get worse.Task 1 Compelet the following statements by choosing the best answer from a, b,and c. Write the letter a, b, or c on your answer sheet.22.

35、nd its character portraits of politicians, statesmen and military strategists.Now a mammoth, 84-part TV series, the play is a faithful adaptation of the original novel, and has become almost as popular overseas as it is at home. It is a panorama of a particular chaotic period in Chinese history, whe

36、n imperial rule was weak and local monarchs longed for power. The rivals were finally reduced to three main contenders, the rulers of the states of Wei, Shu, and Wu, known in Chinese history as the Three Kingdoms. They fought for over half a century until China was finally reunited under the Jin Dyn

37、asty. The story of the play alsospans about half a century, starting withlocal rivalries, moving on to the confrontation of the Three Kingdoms and endingwith the final unification of the country.The Three Kingdoms period is one of the most written and talked-abouteras in China s 5,000 years of histo

38、ry. For six decades battles raged back and forth, diplomacy was honed to a fine art,and politicalalliances were forged and broken in rapid succession. The monarchs of the three kingdoms have gained a reputation throughout history for being smart rulers, and each in turn was served by outstanding und

39、erlings, both military and civilian. It was an era in which a battle of wits was even more importantthan a militarybattle, a time when talent collidedwithtalent and militarygenius withmilitarygenius - inshort, a fantasticsource ofliterarycreation for generations to come.The novel itself is an epic w

40、ith an enormous number of protagonists. The central character, if there is one, is ZhugeLiang, military adviser toLiu Bei, ruler of the state Shu. Because of his talents as a statesman and militarystrategist, Zhugelianghas come tobe seen bylarger generations of Chinese as the archetype of wisdom. Li

41、u Bei is regarded as the representation of Confucianism. Both the novel and TV play stress hisbenevolence, leniency, understanding of the people, and the fact that he knew how to get the best out of everyone.Anotherleading character, Cao Cao, is a far more complex personality. Having forced the youn

42、g emperor ofthe Han Dynastyinto subservience throughhis militarymight, Cao Cao becomes the power behind the throne. LikeZhuge Liang, he is an extraordinary politicianand military strategist, but in addition he is also a poet of great depth. At the same time, however, he is cunning and brutal, egoist

43、ical and paranoid - at least in the novel. The TV presentation, stickinga little closer to known historical facts, portrays both his good and bad sides, bringing to the screen a very real and human character. Perhaps this is why he is the most popular with TV audiences.Questions 31 35. Find the thre
