UNIT 1 课时检测(四) Integrated skills Ⅰ.阅读理解 A During our childhood, we had cultural shows at school where singing, dancing, dramas and speeches were performed by the school students.Among many such programs that took place in the school, one drama actually made me laugh a lot. It was a drama called Cinderella that actually turned out to be very comical.The person who directed that drama seemed to mainly train the students to memorize the dialogues which were well performed by them. But what did the performers wear？While Cinderella was a cute little girl, she did not wear anything beautiful at the ball.She wore house slippers (拖鞋), and one of her slippers couldn't come off her foot when she was running away after midnight from the ball.She tried many times to take it off and finally it dropped and she ran away from the stage. That missing slipper was found by a prince, who was actually a girl, dressed up as a boy but not looking like a boy.She held it up.Feeling a deep sense of shame, she acted her part showing it to the audience.More mistakes in the drama were that Cinderella's stepsisters were poorly dressed too at the ball and neither her stepsisters nor their mom looked like bad guys. In the end, a fairy tale drama turned out to be a funny play and everyone had hearty laughs.Since it could give so much fun to the audience, it was not altogether a failure.And the audience laughed loudly as the drama ended, giving performers encouragement. Cultural programs like this are needed for school students.Students don't need any special skills and the programs don't have to be fully perfect.They need to be organized in schools so that students can take part, share laughs and free their minds. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了学生时代令自己印象深刻的一个戏剧表演。 1．What does the underlined word “comical” in Paragraph 2 mean?
