Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I've always loved singing but, until this summer, it was only in the shower.I never thought I'd missed out on much until my children joined the school choir(合唱团).As singing became a bigger part of my children's lives, I saw their confidence grow.It's a big thing to perform on stage, but soon this was something they could deal with easily.I had encouraged them to challenge themselves and they'd succeeded.As a mother, I thought: job done.What happened next threw me.“Come and join the parents' choir,” a friend suggested.I told her I couldn't sing.“It's not about the singing; it's about the experience,” she said.“You should try it out.” That night I struggled to sleep.Everyday,I encourage my children to push themselves out of their comfort zone; every day I learn that the only way to get your children to behave in a certain way is by doing that behavior yourself.Here I was doing the opposite.The next morning, I joined.
I felt like an awkward new girl the morning I walked into the practice room.An original score(乐谱)had been written to be sung in three parts, which others read like they had been sentences on a page and burst into song. To me, it might well have been written in ancient Greek. I tried my best to follow the tune.
Standing on stage on the evening of our performance, I started trembling(颤抖), but as soon as the music started, I calmed down.A sea of smiling faces encouraged me.Applause filled the hall and I was really excited.I realized that performing was addictive.
I also realized that what I always told my children was true: unless you push yourself and are brave to try something new, you'll miss out on so much that life offers.

I'm Jeff Logan, president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation.I'm very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently (永久性地).That's something we would hate to see happen.
Watching the newest box office movie and eating a big bucket of popcorn is an experience that many of us have enjoyed for a very long time.We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first date or the first movie we saw with our children.A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community.It's a place where we all gather, no matter what our interests, and no matter what ages, young and old, rich and poor.
But how much longer will classic theaters remain open? Just like other industries, movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic (疫情) and are going dark.The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic, because the studios don't want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open.As we all know, the theaters can't do well and can't get back to full 7 days a week at full speed operation without new movies to play.
Recently, the Logan Luxury 5 Cinema in Mitchell reopened for the weekends.However, like many theaters, it is only operating at about 10 percent capacity.Since opening, several new safety measures have been put in place.Block off every other row.People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group.Staff spray the theater with disinfectant (消毒剂) after every show.And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.
Even so, some people still aren't comfortable going to a movie theater yet.I fully understand that.Anyhow, I just hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters, like taking part in a new national proposal called “Save Your Cinema”.
