Watching wooden dolls come to life may not be one of the most popular forms of entertainment today, but with over twenty years’ eperience, talented puppeteer (木偶表演者) Peter Roberts has e arned himself the title “master puppeteer” because of his great ability to turn puppets into believable, almost living characters. “People are quite often surprised to hear what I do for a living and have little appreciation of puppy as a form of entertainment. But while the eact origins of puppet theatre are unnown, it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first ind of theatre,” he eplains.
Roberts’ shows are highly original. “A puppet show can involve anything from clowning(傻逗) to storytelling,” he says. Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for. “Some are attracted by the puppets themselves, while others enjoy the dialogue.” Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.
Roberts’ interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas. He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets. Learning mostly from boos and personal eperience, he eplains, “I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows, so I hardly noticed the change from students to full-time professional puppeteer.”
The puppets are designed specifically for each show, which is etremely time consuming. According to Roberts, “Sometimes what you epect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things. I’ve made some of my best puppets ‘accidentally’.”
When most people hear the word “puppetry”, they more than liely thin of a way of eeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be epected to be light-hearted rather than serious. However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets convey serious messages sometimes.” he says.
24. What do we now about puppetry in the first paragraph?
A. It is a most popular form of entertainment.
B. It cannot give people pleasure any more.
C. It was first brought to life by Peter Roberts.
D. Its value as an art form is not fully recognied.
A. usually attract people full of humor
B. are most something for old aged audience
C. display something meaningful for different people
D. involve hard wor and great intelligence
A. the puppet show boos
B. his university major
C. a Christmas gift
D. some Chinese string puppets
27. What does Roberts want people to thin of puppet theatre?
A. It is just a ind of entertainment for ids.
B. It can be educational as well as entertaining.
C. It is only a ind of serious art form.
D. It should be ept light-hearted.

When it's five o'cloc, people leave their office. The length of the worday, for many worers, is defined by time. They leave when the clocs tell them they’re done.
These days, the time is everywhere not just on clocs or watches, but on cellphones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at wor. New research shows that cloc based
Cloc-timers organie their day by blocs of minutes and hours. For eample a meeting from
9 a. m. to 10 a. m, research from 10 a. m to noon, etc. On the other hand, tas-timers have
a list of things they want to accomplish. They wor down the list, each tas starts when the previous tas is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mi of both these types of planning.
What, then, are the effects of thining about time in these different ways? Does one mae us more productive? Better at the tass at hand? Happier? In eperiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organie different activities from project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “ cloc time” vs. “ tas time”. They found cloc timers to be more efficient(有效率的) but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Tas timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening, and seie opportunities that come up.
The researchers argue that tas-based organiing tends to be undervalued and
under-supported in the business culture. This might be a small change to the way we view wor and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy wor organied by cloc time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some etent, cloc-timers, tas-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity. It’ll mae those tass easier, and the tas-doers will be happier.
28. What does the author say a cloc-based wor?
A. It maes worers very tired.
B. It reminds worers to leave on time.
C. It maes worers aware of the precious time.
D. It may have a bad effect on the creativity.
29. What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Bloc.
B. Consider.
C. Increase.
D. Value.
30. What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their eperiments about
cloc-timers?
A. They seie opportunities as they come up.
B. They always get their wor done in time.
C. They tend to be more productive.
D. They can control their lives.
31. What do the researchers suggest?
A. Tas-based timing is preferred for doing creative wor.
B. It is important to eep a balance between wor and life.
C. Performing creative jobs tends to mae worers happier.
D. A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.
D
Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently – one who wors for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历）and photocopies of si stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he taled about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you w ould hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really lies his job. He has a great assignment （分工）, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to eep him, he said. He nows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, taes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looing for a way out?
He taled to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors
usually as how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get ecited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, eploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?
So your reporter has set me thining.
Our best hope in eeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists- everyone- is to wor harder to mae sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.
32. What does the writer thin of the reporter?

D. Proud.
33. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their tals?
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.
34. Who probably wrote the letter?
A. An editor.
B. An artist.
C. A reporter.
D. A reader.
35. The letter aims to remind editors that they should ________.
A. eep their best reporters at all costs
