22、How to Make Plays More Approachable?
Plays on the page can often feel incomprehensible, academic or irrelevant to the young people studying them, but they shouldn’t be. 【1】
The best way to explore a play is to experience it — either through watching it or performing it yourself. The students can imagine a character or a scene, having them come off stage. 【2】
There are lots of recordings of theatre productions available to stream for free in your classroom covering many set texts and introducing new, bold and challenging plays. 【3】 It’s easy to jump to specific scenes or speeches, or even compare the interpretations and creative decisions of different productions.
If your classroom space allows, push back your tables and get everyone on their feet. When students find it too challenging to read the text of a scene and act it out without practicing, ask them to read it carefully first. 【4】 They can mine the original text for clues, making lists of facts and questions regarding particular characters and situations.
【5】 Think about the various ways in which stagecraft (编剧技术) can transform words on a page into a piece of theatre.
Ask students to explore a character through costume design, or consider how lighting can enhance mood and aid storytelling. Ask students “Why does it matter?” and “What’s the point?”— get them to think about how the play relates to them, and encourage them to express their opinions on it.
A.You might also like to ask them to write a missing scene.
B.In this way, they will remember much more about them.
C.This might help them to ignore the author’s background.
D.And then perform a version of the scene in their own words.
E.If getting on your feet isn’t an option, get creative on paper instead.
F.Time-poor teachers needn’t commit to watching an entire production.
G.Bringing them to life through performance can make them fun, accessible and relatable.
23、 A college student in Alabama walked 32 kilometers in the dark to get to his new job. The story begins with Walter Carr's car breaking down the night before starting a new job at Bellhops, a furniture moving company.
Carr was unable to find a ride. So, he figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the job in Pelham—32 kilometers away. He left at midnight so that he could make it to the customer's house by 8:00 am the next morning.
Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4:00 am. So, they stopped to see if he needed help. After hearing his story, they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8:00 am.
The police then took Carr to the home of customer Jenny Lamey. Lamey said that even though Carr had just walked the entire night, he refused her offer to rest. He just wanted to start working. While he worked, he talked with the customer, telling her how much he liked her kitchen.
Reporter Carol Robinson of the Birmingham News wrote that Carr also shared another story with his customer. He told Lamey that he and his mother moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Birmingham, Alabama after losing their home in Hurricane Katrina. Katrina was an extremely destructive and deadly hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast of the U. S. in 2005.
Jenny Lamey later wrote this on Facebook: “I just can't tell you how touched I was by Walter and his journey.” She then started a GoFundMe page to help Walter with money to get his car fixed. When the CEO of Bellhops, Luke Marklin, learned of Carr's story, he drove from Tennessee to Alabama to give Walter his own 2014 Ford Escape.
Walter Carr's story touched many others around the United States. Within a few days, people gave over $ 73,000 to his GoFundMe page. Carr has decided to give a part of the donations to the Birmingham Education Foundation. And he has received more offers for jobs and scholarships for schools.

24、 Something strange was happening inside LeeAnne’s home. During the summer of 2014,14-year-old J.D. had stomach severe pains, but his CT scan found nothing wrong. LeeAnne and her husband lost hair and suffered dizziness and headaches. LeeAnne even lost her eyelashes.
In January 2015, the city of Flint sent out a notice that the water supply, switched from the Detroit water system to the Flint River to cut cost, contained high levels of trihalomethanes (三卤甲烷). The notice warned that people with poor immune (免疫的) systems might be at increased risk for liver, kidney, and nervous system problems but emphasized that the water was otherwise safe to drink.
Alarmed, LeeAnne researched the water supply and searched the Internet. Then she distributed a fact sheet to city officials, listing the side effects of exposure to trihalomethanes. Then she urged her neighbors to attend city council meetings, where they shared their health problems. Still, officials insisted the water was safe to drink. So LeeAnne demanded that the city test her water.
The results were disturbing. The trihalomethanes were the least of her problems. The lead levels in her water were nearly seven times the legal amount. But the city maintained her plumbing (管道) was the cause.
LeeAnne immediately had her children tested for lead. All the kids showed lead exposure. She read Flint’s water quality reports and discovered the city wasn’t applying the proper corrosion (腐蚀) control standards to its pipes; the standards prevent the metal in pipes from leaching into the water.
In March, a follow-up test of LeeAnne’s water showed lead levels nearly 27 times higher than the EPA’s threshold. LeeAnne’s pipes could not be responsible for the high lead levels, since they were plastic.
In September, Virginia Tech lab released a report that concluded the Flint River water was 19 times more corrosive than the Detroit water.
The governor eventually admitted the water was unsafe. He ordered that Flint’s water supply be switched back to Detroit’s. In Washington, President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Flint and ordered federal aid to help the city recover.
【1】How did LeeAnne react to the city notice?
A.She had her children tested for lead.
B.She asked the city to replace her pipes.
C.She urged the officials to test Flint’s water.
D.She collected side effects of trihalomethanes.
【2】What is the leading cause of the family’s health problem?
A.The lead in their water.
B.Corrosion to their pipes.
C.Their poor immune systems.
D.Exposure to Trihalomethanes.
【3】City officials’ attitude toward the water issue was _____.
A.unconcerned B.cautious
C.doubtful D.objective
【4】What does the story mainly tell us?
A.Revealing the truth takes time.
B.Nothing can stop a determined heart.
C.It takes courage to challenge authority.
D.Joint effort is the key to solving problems.
