三、阅读理解
Protecting the traditional art is very important. Since 2008, schools around the country have been teaching students Beijing opera. It's part of a plan to introduce young people to the country's artistic traditions.
Beijing opera used to sound strange to Dou Yi and she felt it boring. The 14-year-old Beijinger said whenever she came across Beijing opera on TV, she changed the channel. Like most of today's teenagers, Dou loved pop music.
But since Dou entered the Xuanwu branch of Beijing No. 15 Middle School, she has been studying Beijing opera in music class every Friday afternoon. Dou and her classmates listen to Beijing opera and learn the basics from professional actors. They also sing along with the operas.
"We laugh sometimes because the tunes（曲调）are really hard to learn," said Dou. But she said that now she would watch Beijing opera on TV. "After all, I am no longer a total layman," she said.
Yang Ning, 14, is Dou's classmate. She has been studying Beijing opera since she was 8. She is a member of the school's Beijing opera club. "I have learnt a lot of history from the operas," she said. "I've also learnt much about many ancient poems, since there are so many of them in the operas."
Yang doesn't think everyone can master singing Beijing opera, but she does say that it's valuable for all people to learn about it. "The more you learn about it, the more you understand it. If people study it, this old art form won't disappear. It would be a great pity if it did!" she said.
