Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35. 
The Chinese Circus 
Over 2,000 years ago, during the Han Dynasty in China, common people searched for new 
ways to spend the long winter months. Because they had little work to do during this time of year, 
skilled workers, sailors and farmers became acrobats, jugglers, and magicians. Their performances 
became part of the village festivals. 
Entire families participated in these performances. Each generation taught its circus skills to the 
next generation. Children in these families began learning to perform while they were still babies. They 
were too young to understand the risks of their dangerous acrobatics, so they performed without fear. 
As young Chinese performers grew up, they taught their skills to others. The circus became a way of 
life for these families. 
Though the ancient acrobats performed for emperors, cultural attitudes changed over time. 
Later on, acrobats were looked down upon. However, after 1949, the Chinese government made 
special efforts to bring the art form back to life. Since then, the Chinese circus has had a large impact 
on performing arts around the world. 
The circus acrobats in today’s China are all trained professionals, though they continue many of 
the ancient traditions. For example, they work with everyday items instead of special equipment. Each 
year, acrobats from all over China compete for the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Lions. These special prizes 
also represent a tradition. In many Asian cultures, people believe that the lion brings strength and 
health to the community and its people.
