TALENT ON PARADE

It is time for the Smithdale Student Activity Club’s yearly talent show. In the past, the club has had performers sing, dance, and play the violin, guitar, or piano. This year the show will be called “Talent on Parade”, and we are looking for performers with great new ideas. In addition, we have planned two important changes for this year’s show.

Two Shows Instead Of One

First, “Talent on Parade” will be held on two nights. Performers in the Wednesday night show will include students in Grades K-5. Performers in the Friday night show will include students in Grades 6-12.

Smithdale High School Hall Wednesday, May 11, 6:30 P.M. Friday, May 13, 7:30 P.M.

No Tryouts (预选)

The second change is that this year’s performers will be chosen in a new way. No tryouts will be held. The first twenty acts to sign up for each show will be accepted. Others will be put on a waiting list in case someone has an act that is not allowed. You’ll be told by telephone or e-mail if your act is included.

If you do not wish to perform but would enjoy helping backstage with lights or sound, print “stagehand” in large letters at the top of the permission slip (同意书).

Rules For Acts

1. Each student chosen to perform must turn in a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian(监护人).

2. All performers must be at the school one hour before the show time.

3. Performers must provide their own transportation to and from the school.

4. Each act is limited to three minutes.

5. No act may have more than five people in it.

6. Performers must provide their own music (tapes, CDs, or instruments) and costumes.

7. Singers may sing with or without musical accompaniment, but they may not sing along with a recorded voice on a CD or tape.

1.The twenty-first act to sign up will be allowed to be performed only if____.

A. a performer is unable to attend　　 B. a performance is shortened

C. the performance is original　　 D. the performer is approved

2.Each person performing in the talent show is required to turn in a____ .

A. telephone number　　 B. musical recording

C. costume drawing　　 D. permission slip

3.When should a second grader show up at school on the show night?

A. Before 6:30 P.M.　　 B. Before 5:30 P.M.

C. After 6:30 P.M.　　 D. After 5:30 P.M.

4.Where is this passage most likely to be found?

For the past 100 years, people believed middle age to be around 50 years old. This is a time when we start to grow old. However, new research says we have to change this. A study from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIAS) in Austria and Stony Brook University in New York says middle age now starts at 60 or even 65, or older. Why?

The biggest reason is that we are living longer. We are also healthier, we have better diets, we exercise more and we have more money to live in a nicer lifestyle. The IIAS said, ＂Since life expectancy has increased over the past several decades, and are continuing to increase, people once considered old should actually be viewed as more middle aged.＂

The study was not a worldwide one so perhaps not everyone in all countries can say they are middle aged when they are 65. The researchers looked at populations in 39 European countries, so this is good news for Europeans. Britain’s National Health Service warned against looking at this study and believing it to be 100 percent true. It said the researchers did not look at things which could reduce life expectancy: ＂We don’t know whether, for example, they factored (把……因素包括进去) in the possible impact of being unable to treat infections because of rising antibiotic (抗生素) resistance, or the increased numbers of people with diabetes (糖尿病) due to obesity.＂ It recommended healthy living, eating and exercise as a way to live longer.

1.What do people believe for the past century?

A.People start to grow old when they are about 50.

B.Middle age is far beyond 50 years old.

C.People will die at around 50 years old.

D.Middle age is a time when people become ill.

2.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

A.The main reason why we are living longer.

B.The reason why middle age now starts at 60 or even 65.

C.Life expectancy has increased.

D.Middle aged people were once considered old.

3.What do Britain’s National Health Service’s words mean?

A.It believes the study to be true.

B.To live longer, one should live a healthy life.

C.There are more people who suffer from diabetes due to obesity.

D.The researchers didn’t factor in the possible impact.

4.What is the writer’s attitude towards the study?

A.Indifferent. B.Supportive.

C.Negative. D.Objective.
