[*]
选项
答案 Tradition is an essential part of us, for it’s past in today. But, as is shown in the picture, like a mountain, it can only be seen clearly from a distant place. In other words, tradition is a living part of today only when it is changed according to today’s taste. An example at hand is the Beijing Opera. Though it is beautiful and is greatly engrossing to most old people, it can hardly attract the present young generation. The Operas still staged are mostly of old themes, outdated structure, slow rhythm and over-complicated music. Nearly everything is encoded like ancient language in which only archaeologists are interested. Nevertheless, if we embody something like feelings of modem people, the Opera will continue to survive with its popularity growing into an ever-lasting glamour. In a word, the past is already gone. If there is anything left, that’s the spirit of the Opera in expressing people’s life which is always changing. That helps explain the fruitless efforts to introduce the Beijing Opera to the younger generation. The best, perhaps the only, approach to addition is to strip it off the shabby clothes and put on, for instance, jeans or high-heeled shoes. After all, change is the only changeless thing in the world which brings life and prosperity.
解析     传统是我们不可或缺的一部分，因为它是今天的过去。但是就像由画中呈现的，传统就像一座大山，站得远才可以看清全貌。换句话说就是传统只有当它根据今天的需要做出改变的时候才是今天活跃的一部分。
    唾手可得的一个例子就是京剧。虽然它非常的优美，多数老年人对此都非常地着迷，但是它却很难引起现在年轻一代人的兴趣。，搬上舞台的京剧节目多数还是老生常谈，结构落后，节奏缓慢，音乐过于复杂。
    几乎所有的事情都被译咸密码，就像古代的语言，只有考古学家感兴趣。然而如果我们在京剧中融入一些现代A的感受，它肯定会继续收到欢迎，具有永久的魅力。总之，过去的已经过去。如果有什么东西保留了下来，那是京剧表达人们不断变化的生活的精神。
    这一点就解释了人们努力想把京剧传授给年轻人没有成功的原因。让他们对京剧着迷的最好也许是唯一的方法是扒去京剧里繁琐的衣服，穿上比如牛仔服，高跟鞋之类的服装。毕竟世界上唯一不变的东西就是变化，它带来了生命和繁荣。
