It’s a classroom. Instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out. It’s a class full of laughter and applause (鼓掌), emotion and energy. Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school.

In drama class we used to play a lot of “drama games”. We would improvise (即兴表演), copy and above all use our imagination.

My favorite game was called “Spotto”. One person stood in the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination. When one audience member yelled “Spotto!”, the performer had to freeze. Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario (剧情) based on the position the first performer froze in. This went on as more and more people were added to the scene. Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene. Then the performers would start to leave in reverse (颠倒的) order.

It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone’s imagination to see what they would come up with. Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the term as well. We would work on a production throughout the term and put on a show for our parents and the school community.

It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience. Drama class can help shy children, like me, to come out of their shells. It helped them become more confident and developed their public speaking skills. Drama class is also a great place to express oneself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy.

1.Which do you agree with about the game “Spotto”？

A. Each performer in the game has to retell the story of the latter performer.

B. A performer has to show a story unrelated to that of the former performer.

C. Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the “Spotto” game.

D. It is designed to help drama students learn from one another’s performance.

2.The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to “　　　　 ”.

A. shy children　　 B. a large audience　　 C. drama students　　 D. the whole class

3.What do you know about the author according to the article?

A. He was too shy to attend the drama class.

B. He was a star student in the drama games.

C. He was shining in big performances each term.

D. He was happy to perform on stage in front of the audience.

4.What’s the best title for this passage?

A. A few drama games for fun.

B. How to improve drama skills.

C. Unforgettable experiences on stage.

D. One of my favorite high school courses.

You walk into the classroom, look at that white piece of paper in front of you and are told you’ve got an hour and a half to do it. That can make anyone nervous, but here is the guide to stay calm.

Get a good night’s sleep the night before the test, and eat a healthy breakfast next day. 1. If you’re too tired, you won’t remember what you learnt the night before. Get to class a little earlier. If you get there early, you’ll make sure to get your favorite seat. 2.

Breathe. Before the test, breathe in through your nose deeply and slowly. 3. Repeat this several times. If you experience a sudden panic during the test, perform the exercise again.

Skip questions if necessary. 4. If you come across a difficult question, skip the question and move on. You can come back to it at the end of the test if you have time, and later questions may help you get the answer(s) to the one(s) you skipped.

5. Don’t panic if you notice other students writing very quickly or handing in their tests early. Tell yourself it’s just a test. Really, it is. No matter what happens, everything will be OK.

Kenyon Scudder once told me a story about his friend, Michael. Michael happened to be on a train sitting next to a young man who seemed worried. Finally the young man told the friend that he was a convict (罪犯) returning home from a prison far away. What he did had brought shame (羞耻) on his family, and they had neither visited him nor written to him. He hoped, however, that this was only because they were too poor to travel and too busy to write.

When he was set free he had written to tell them he wanted to go home. To make matters easy for them, however, he had asked them to put up a signal (信号) for him when the train passed their little farm. If the family had forgiven (原谅) him, they were to put up a white ribbon (丝带) in the big apple tree near the railway. If they didn't want him back, they were to do nothing, and he would stay on the train, and go far away.

As the train neared his hometown his suspense became so great that he was afraid to look out of the window. He asked Michael to watch for the big apple tree. They changed seats. In a minute, Michael put his hand on the young convict’s shoulder. "There it is," he said, his eyes filled with sudden tears. "It’s all right. The whole tree is white with ribbons."

1.For which of the following reasons might the young man be worried?

A. His family might not allow him to go home.

Goals can help you do，be and experience everything you want in life．Instead of just letting life happen to you，goals allow you to make your life happen．

Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．It’ s like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of it this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map．She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns．The other driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver，but she drives without an aim around，never getting anywhere，just using up gas and oil．Which driver do you want to be？

Research tells us that when we write a goal down，we are more likely to achieve．Written goals can be reviewed regularly，and have more power．Like a contract with yourself，they are harder to neglect（忽视）or forget．Also when you write your goals in a particular way，you are able to make yourself continuously alert（警觉）to situations that will further your goals．
