Theater is one of the oldest and most important art forms in world culture, it is also one of the richest art forms. Many people work together to bring a play to life. There are playwrights, directors, set designers, costumers, lighting technicians, and, of course, actors. If the performance is a musical, the skills of a songwriter, a choreographer, and musicians are also required. The excitement of opening night can be felt by the people waiting to watch a performance and by the performers and workers backstage waiting for the curtain to go up. Live theater is thrilling because no one really knows how well the play will go until it is performed.

The word theater comes from the Greek theatron, which means “a place for seeing.” One concept from Greek theater that is still seen in some plays today is the “Greek Chorus”. This consists of several actors or characters watching the action of the play(almost like the audience) and then commenting on what whey just saw with either reactions or dialogue.

Although most people think of the theater in terms of a play performed on the stage, theater has taken on a much broader meaning in the modern world. You may find yourself walking into a theater with no seats in the rows. Instead, you are seated among the set pieces, which makes you part of the setting. Sometimes theater may come to life on a street corner, or in a classroom. The excitement of theater is in its very nature----it is an art form that changes as it is interpreted(诠释) in different ways by different people. That is probably why the works of the greatest playwright of all time, William Shakespeare, are still performed and enjoyed today, both in classic and new interpretations.

1.What does the word “richest” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. diverse.　　 B. wealthy.　　 C. terrifying.　　 D. entertaining.

2.Why is live theater so exciting according to the text?

A. Plays are usually well written.　　 B. It is often interpreted by skilled actors.

C. No one can predict its success or failure.　　 D. There are so many people working on it.

3.What is suggested about the plays of Shakespeare in the text?

A. They are more often given new interpretations today than in the past.

B. They are more popular today than during Shakespeare’ s time.

C. They will always be considered the world’s greatest.

D. They have been performed in a variety of ways.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. A vital part of theater: Greek Chorus　　 B. Modern theater: adventures in acting

C. Shakespeare: our greatest playwright　　 D. Theater: an exciting art form

What’s the most important thing in a piece of writing? Is it the story, the characters, the description, or the style? Obviously, you can’t choose only one. A great work succeeds in combining all of them in a great mix, producing a wonderful work.

In most cases, you’re better at one writing element over the rest, and working on your strengths will work to your advantage. Building characters, however, is important to your writing. It’s not to be ignored no matter what your case is. So, how do you achieve that?

Make Them Real

This is probably one of the most common pieces of writing advice: make your characters believable. What does it really mean? It means that your characters need to be there for a reason, not just for pushing the story forward. He/She has a real life, with his/her own fears and dreams, and you have to show this. Your characters don’t need to be typical to be believable. The unusual ones are even more interesting, but it’s your job to make your readers relate to them.

Understand Human Psychology

To build great characters, you’ll need to understand people’s psychology: what are they thinking about, what are they feeling and experiencing, and why are they doing what they are doing? Get behind the obvious. Be in the backstage with them. Sit them in a chair and let them talk away. If you truly listen, you will learn.

Be your character

When you immerse (使沉浸) yourself in your writing, you get lost in that world and you start living in it. This is when the magic happens and you become your character. By putting yourself in your character’s shoes, you allow yourself to experience what you’re writing about first-hand. The more it feels real to you, the more the readers will feel the same, too.

1.According to the author, what makes a great work?

A. Being skilled at description.　　 B. Having some unusual characters.

C. Using some special writing styles.　　 D. Combining related things in a great way.

2.According to Paragraph 4, a good writer should be good at ________.

A. knowing others’ minds　　 B. writing down the obvious points

C. thinking differently from others　　 D. starting conversations with others

3.To build a great character, you should ________.

A. write according to true events　　 B. pretend you’re the character

C. talk to others about your character　　 D. forget about your fears and dreams

Football is, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for their teams. One of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he thinks will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times of his age.

Therefore the school plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England.
