Theatre reflects the values of the civilization out of which it grows. The following are the types of theatre performances an ancient Roman might have witnessed then.
Fescennine Verse
Fescennine Verse was a pioneer of Roman comedy. Ironic and improvisational（即兴的）, it was used mainly at festivals or weddings, and as invective. With early native Italian funny dialogues in Latin verse, it was thought to have combined with a tradition of performances by masked dancers and musicians from Etruria.
Fabula Atellana
Fabula Atellana relied on common characters, masks, direct humor, and simple plots. They were performed by actors improvising. Fabula Atellana came from the Oscan city of Atella. There were 4 main types of characters: the braggart, the greedy blockhead, the clever hunchback and the stupid old man, like modern Punch and Judy shows.
Fabula Togata
Named for the clothing symbolic of the Roman people Fabula Togata had various subtypes. One was the Fabula Tabernaria, named for the tavern（酒馆）where the comedy’s preferred characters, lowlifes, might be found. One describing more middle-class types, and continuing the Roman clothing theme, was the Fabula Trabeata.
Fabula Praetexta
Fabula Praetexta is the name for Roman tragedies on Roman themes, Roman history or current politics. Fabula Praetexta was less popular than tragedies on Greek themes. During the Golden Age of drama in the Middle Republic, there were four great Roman writers of tragedy, Naevius, Ennius, Pacuvius, and Accius. Of their surviving tragedies, 90 titles remain.
All the performances above began as a translation of Greek forms, even to the extent of their being performed in Greek costume.
1.Where might an ancient Roman witness Fescennine Verse?
A.At a party.
B.At a funeral.
C.At a wedding.
D.At a concert.
2.Which type of performance describes the middle-class life?

D.Fabula Praetexta.

I was checking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all of
a sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).
Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.
After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-old girl working for a trade organization.
Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, "It's not hard to do small things for people."
After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.
Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.

B. She paid for her bananas.

From Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results wereechoedby scientists fromLancasterUniversity, and theUniversityofGavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity.
To reach their conclusions, researchers had volunteers complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers’ ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects’ creativity.
The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined to form a
common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music
“We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie ofLancasterUniversity. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration.
“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads.
8. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.
A. challenged
B. accepted
C. doubted
D. heard
9. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study?
A. To play music.
B. To combine given words.
C. To create new words.
D. To connect words with music.
10. What can we infer from the study?
A. Quiet background inspires creativity best.
B. Library noise does no harm to creativity.
C. Music has a bad effect on language ability.
D. Music types matter in creative performance.
11. Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration.
B. Background NoiseAffects Concentration.
C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity.
D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity.
D
Jon Pedley is making a big change. He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.
Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.
But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who
have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.
Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.
Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.
12. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?
A. Negative.
B. Colorful.
C. Independent.
D. Selfish.
13. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?
A. Do business with the local people.
B. Help farmers increase potato output.
C. Assist villagers with construction work.
D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.
14. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?
A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.
B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.
C. To train them to become doctors in the future.
D. To make them learn about different cultures.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. From millionaire to mud hut
B. A life-changing adventure
C. A rich man becoming homeless
D. More money, more worries

My little sister, Donna, turned six, and she started copying my every move!
“What are you doing?” she asked my friend Maya and me one Saturday morning.
“We're making earrings,” Maya said, pointing to a photo in the craft page of her magazine.
Donna plopped (扑通) down next to us at the table. “May I make one too?”“ Um...”I paused.
“Sure!” Maya said. Donna squeezed in so close to me that I could hardly see what I was doing.
“Can you give me a little more room? You are blocking me from the beads.” I said.
“I'm just trying to see what you're doing.” Donna said.
“Well, you don't need to see exactly what I'm doing.” I told her. “You can make your own design.”
“I am!” she said. She was using the same color1 s of beads and string and everything that I was using.
Having finished the earrings, Maya suggested we get her guitar to make up songs for our band.
“Excellent idea!” I said. “Let's go to the backyard where we can have some privacy.”
When Donna didn't say anything, I thought she must have gotten the clue. But 10 minutes later, she showed up.
“Sorry I'm late, but I couldn't find my tambourine (铃鼓).” said Donna. “It was in the basket that my kitten Charlie was sleeping in. Isn't that so funny? Maybe, we should invite Charlie to be in our band!”
“Our band?” I said. “Since when is this our band? You're constantly following me like a shadow, and I'm tired of it.”
