Beijing, China’s cultural center is making its theatres and music halls more popular with ordinary people by reducing ticket prices and organizing more colorful performances.

Attending a performance or concert at weekends should no longer be a luxury, said Zhang Heping, director of the Beijing Municipal(市政府的) Cultural Bureau, at the government department’s yearly work conference. Zhang put into a number of changes last year to increase audiences, such as designing some low-cost performances, the most popular of which was a show called“Open the Door of the Music”, aiming at students on summer vacation.

Previously, performances had tickets priced at above 100 yuan—more than one tenth of the average monthly salary of a Beijing resident. But the low-cost shows would limit prices between 5 yuan and 30 yuan.

Zhang said it was wrong to believe that few people remained interested in cultural performances. Tickets had simply been out of most people’s reach, Zhang said. More than 10 Beijing professional performance bodies have gradually been taken off government funding in recent years and have been left to fend for themselves. Zhang said“less profit, more audience”is better than“no profit and no audience”.

Beijing has planned to become an international city, but needs first-class cultural performances as well as firs-rate infrastructure(基础设施). Zhang also emphasizes the importance of large-scale activities, promising to organize more of them this year like open-air concerts performed by various amateur(业余) groups.

1. Beijing is making its theatres and music halls more popular with ordinary people because__________.

A. it agrees with the development of modern society

B. Beijing is trying its best to host the 2008 Olympic Games

C. people can enjoy themselves there without paying money

2. The underlined word “fend for” here means “__________”.

A. support　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  B. search

C. promise　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　       D. find

3. The best title for the passage is “__________”.

A. Door to art and music opens wider in Beijing

     Barack Obama makes his first trip to Asia as president this week, leaving behind a host of domestic
problems with the visit that recognizes the region's economic and diplomatic importance. "Obama's trip
includes stops in Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea, and his message will be simple," says Nicolas
Lardy at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, "Well, I think his broadest objective is to
convince Asians that the United States is fully committed to the region that we have an agenda that's much
broader than they saw over the past eight years of the very heavy focus on counter terrorism."
     Obama's first stop is Japan, where he meets with the new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama who has
promised to steer a diplomatic course more independent of Washington. While Japan is seen as a getting-to-
know-you stop, when Obama heads to the Singapore for the APEC meeting, he will likely face pressure on
trade. "Many Asians are concerned about what US trade policy will be, and they've been somewhat alarmed
by the fact that the president really hasn't set out very much revision for what US trade policy is in his
administration."
     But the critical leg of the trip will come in China, his third stop where Obama will have to navigate the
complex relationship with the country that is the largest holder of US debt. "As you say, you know, if you
owe the bank one dollar, it's your problem, if you owe the bank, you know, 3 million dollars, it's the bank's
problem, so it's similar with China. I mean they have no interest in trying to use the influence with us, because
eventually, they're the one that they own all those dollars."
     Also on the table will be North Korea and Iran's nuclear ambitions as well as cooperation on Afghanistan.
     With Obama enjoying sky high popularity ratings in the countries he is visiting, concrete results may be
beside the point, given that Obama is still in his firs office, analysts say this trip is mostly about laying the
ground work for the future.
