• 2．Opera for Beginners Many people think that opera is boring，difficult to understand and unpleasant to listen to．
     They only see strange people singing in a foreign language and wearing funny costumes．They're too quick to judge and a lot of people have believed stupid ideas about opera without ever actually seeing one．If one takes opera seriously，with an open heart，and goes to several good live performances，I don't see any reason why he or she would dislike or hate it．The following tips can help you learn to enjoy opera．
     First of all，if you are new to opera，start with a short，well-known title，such as The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart．In the beginning，avoid difficult operas with complex storylines．
     If your first experience is not fun，then you will expect all operas to be boring．Moreover，before
  going to a performance，do a little bit of homework：learn the story of the opera．If you know about the main characters and the story before you start watching，it will be much easier to understand what is happening on the stage．Finally，the most important way to enjoy opera is to keep an open mind．If you believe that you will enjoy watching opera，then you will most likely enjoy it．Think of opera as a live TV show．Opera shows the same things-love and hate，good and evil and humans and nature-that are found in many of today's popular movies and best-selling novels．In fact，many of these movies and novels use stories copied from famous operas!
     Opera is full of catchy，wonderful melodies （旋律）．It's full of drama and laughter．It's full of wonder and life．Opera can be fun to watch，and it allows the audience to experience different cultures．Many people have enjoyed it for hundreds of years，and by following the tips above，you can enjoy it，too．Indeed，opera will change the minds of the people who once hated it．And most importantly，as one of the most diverse art forms out there，opera helps you appreciate different performance styles from all over the world．
  
  （1）Many people think that opera is boring because

  ．
  A．it is like a TV show
  B．they know little about it
  C．they dislike its storylines
  D．its music style is old-fashioned
  （2）Which is a good way for beginners to enjoy opera？

  
  A．To start with a long opera．
  B．To learn to sing an opera．
  C．To master a foreign language．
  D．To get familiar with an opera's story．
  （3）Many famous operas，popular movies，and best-selling novels

  ．
