There's nothing more magical than spending a summer evening watching a bit of theatre.
There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from,and we've put together a list of the best
ones.
Regent's Park Open Air Theatre,London
No matter the weather,when Regent's Park starts its theatre season,summer has truly
begun.Surrounded by thick whistling trees and singing birds,you may as well be a thousand
miles from the surrounding city.
This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening,Fiddler on the
Roof closing and plenty in between.
Thorington Theatre,Suffolk
A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world,opening in 2021,Thorington is
hidden in the Suffolk woodlands.This year's programme includes family favourites such as
Teddy Bear's Picnic and The Little Mermaid,Shakespeare's The Tempest as well as A Midsummer
Night's Dream,and a little Sondheim with Sunday in the Park with George.You can also now
order a picnic from local supper club Husk to meet you an hour before your show.
Minack Theatre,Cornwall
Built into a cliff (face in Porthcurno,you hardly need an excuse to visit this
theatre.
This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors,The Massive Tragedy of
Madame Bovary and the usual knowledge of Shakespeare amongst other things.If you want a
show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding,check out The Pirates of Penzance playing
in September.
Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban's
Situated in the country's oldest theatre still actually producing theatre-an old Roman
theatre,hence the name-this year the festival offers a mix of straight classics,modern
retellings and brand-new scripts ()I'm a person interested in any production of
Sondheim's Into the Woods,and as the name suggests,there's no better place to see it than an
outdoor theatre.

B.They are built outdoors.
C.They show Shakespeare's plays.
D.They intend to open in summer.

A high school senior called James Smith has started an organization that designs science
kits (for primary school students.He launched Kits Cubed to introduce kids to the
wonders of science through fun,affordable,and accessible means,which owed to a babysitting
experience.He was babysitting his younger brother,York,when he decided that the activity
for the day would be a science experiment.York told him that he hated science because he was
bad at it."He literally loved everything,and then when I brought up science,he doubted
himself,"James told CNN.James was not going to let York's self-doubt continue,so he
decided to use simple science experiments to convince him that he was not bad at science.
"We went to the store together and I had him pick out potatoes,and then I went to the
hardware store to buy some copper(铜)nails(钉子),some galvanized(镀锌的)nails and
some wire.And then,we made a battery out of them,"he said.That was how James
successfully convinced York that he was not bad at science."He actually likes science now,"
he said.From this experience,James started thinking to help more kids like York.With the
help of his teachers,he started designing science kits that explored real science concepts with
simple everyday materials.So far Kits Cubed sells three kinds of kits,with three experiments in
each kit.Each kit sells for 15.
According to James,Kits Cubed has reached more than 2,000 young people in Oakland so
far."York told me he's bad at science.He doesn't like it.I want to remove that thought,and
replace it with 'I'm good at science and I can be a scientist if I want to'.That's what I really
want them to get out of the kits,"said James.
24.When did James come up with the idea of experimenting?
A.When he was looking after York.
B.When York told him he wanted it.
C.When York showed a gift for science.
D.When he found York loved everything.
25.How did James change his younger brother's attitude towards science?
A.By doing an experiment for him
B.By sharing learning experience with him.
C.By explaining the theory in simple words.
D.By involving him in a simple experiment.
26.What can we know about the science kits?
A.They are still in the pilot stage.
B.They use easily available materials.
C.They include three experiments in total.
D.They are independently designed by James.
27.What did James expect children to gain from his science kits?
A.The ability to learn from daily life.
B.The respect for science and scientists.
C.The confidence to learn science well.
D.The understanding of science concepts.

Our university's Marriott Library cuts back on its energy usage by 28 percent every year
with a new automation system.Years after its installation ()the project actually started
out aiming to provide better protection to the library's collections.The new change will end up
saving the university $270,000 annually.
Beginning on the first floor in 2014,the system has expanded to special collections on the
fourth floor and to the rest of the building.Special collections hold over 80,000 rare books,
maps,moving images,sound archives(档案)and manuscripts(手稿).Delicate pieces like
these,some dating as far back as 2,000 years,demand protection from water damage and an
unchangeable climate,which is a goal of the new system.
Employees are already seeing a difference as they have more control over the thermostat
(恒温a器),which provides a comfortable environment that is not only for the books.The
system can ensure that no cold air makes its way into the building,maintaining a pleasant
temperature for everyone inside.As a result,the newest service provides a space to escape the
summer heat and the winter cold.
"Student success is a central objective of our university,"said Dean of the J.Willard
Marriott Library and university librarian,Alberta Comer,on the library website."Nowadays,
more and more students will take library services into account when picking a school,so a good
library is an advantage to attract more excellent students.And the Marriott Library is
continually striving to ensure that-both with traditional and new services."
This installation,like any change,took a whole team.The efforts of staff in University
Planning played a big role.Non-university forces also chipped in to make this change possible.
Spectrum Engineers,a company over 30 years old that has been helping the University with a
campus-wide public service distribution upgrade,worked on the project.Wasatch Controls,
which has 13 years of experience in building automation and security systems,was also up for
the job along with ETC Group,another 30-year-old company aiming to improve building
performance.
28.What is the purpose of installing the new automation system?
A.To cut down expenses on books.
B.To protect the students in the library.
C.To keep the collections in good condition.
D.To offer a comfortable studying environment.
29.What's implied in Paragraph 2?
A.The library is in good condition.
B.The new system will be widely used.
C.The special collections are at great risk.
D.The new system is of great significance.
30.What is important for a university according to Alberta Comer?
A.Its service.B.Its reputation.
C.Its location.
D.Its quality.
31.Why is the installation a success?
A.Service was upgraded.
B.The staff fought long.
C.Many worked together.
D.The students made efforts.

Kate Townshend looks beyond the pages of her favourite books,sharing what she has learned
from the women whose voices we don't hear but whose presence is felt deeply.
"There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'.There are only the intentionally silenced,
or the preferably unheard.This quote from Arundhati Roy is one I've turned over in my mind
a great deal as a reader,and I wonder if it explains my fascination with a certain kind of
character that I've noticed cropping up in all sorts of literary forms from novels to plays to
classical epics(史诗).
Specifically,I'm talking about the characters I've come to think of as the "silent women"
of literature-those whose presence haunts the edges of all sorts of stories;those who are denied
voices of their own.
In fact,my favourite novel contains one such figure.In Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca,we
never actually meet Rebecca except in flashbacks and third person accounts.Despite this,her
influence looms(隐约出现)large,and in her absence,many of the answers to the book'skey
questions are just out of reach.If she's really the monster (that some of the novel's
living characters paint her as,for instance,then why does she inspire such loyalty and love?
Rebecca was one of my first lessons in my viewpoint-how we can all easily become the
villain if we let other people tell our stories.And once I started looking,I found these"silent"
women everywhere,still managing to speak volumes beyond imprisonment,madness and even
death.I wonder if we see these silent women sometimes,particularly in historical literature,
because female authors like Du Maurier were engaged in their own struggles to be heard.
Protecting themselves behind male pseudonyms (and accepting judgement and ridicule
were part and parcel of putting pen to paper for many women writers,so perhaps it's
unsurprising that these themes of the importance of voice crop up in their stories too.
These apparently "silent"characters have so much to teach us in the end,if we can only
r
learn to listen.
32.What can be inferred about Kate Townshend?
A.She's a book reviewer.
B.She's a writer of novels.
C.She's a lover of literature.
D.She's a character the author pities.
33.How does the author develop Paragraph 4?
A.By quoting some famous sayings.
B.By giving an example to support his/her idea.
C.By describing the main character in detail.
D.By listing some of his/her favourite novels.
34.What does the underlined word "villain"in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.A person who is a bad character.
B.A person who intends to be silent.
C.A voiceless person that can't speak.
D.A person who pretends not to hear.
35.What's a suitable title for the text?
A.Why should we speak out our own viewpoint?
B.How can we learn to understand voiceless people?
C.What can we leamn from the "silent women"of literature?
D.Why are more women beginning to stand up for women?

I have coached people from all walks of life for 25 years and I have seen firstzhand that
self-belief is what sets people up to be nappy and achieve their dreams.36
1)Build your identity
When I sat down to write my first book,Be Your Own Life Coach,I was filled with self-
doubt;I couldn't write a word and considered backing out.I remembered the words of my dad,
who had been a hugely successful door-to-door salesman,"Never try and sell anything that
you're not sold on.Sell it to yourself first."I sat down and made a list of all the reasons I was
uniquely placed to write the book.37!
Do the same every time your confidence needs an upgrade.Take a pen and paper and
write out the sentence:"Reasons Why I Am Uniquely Qualified to Do X.38 Soon,
毁
国
you will have sold yourself to you!
地
2)Build your team
Choose your companions carefully.You need people who "get you",and see your true
膨
potential.When the going gets tough,you may need to lean on their belief in you and borrow it
长
until your own has recovered and bounced back!

3)Stop the criticism
留

You can be a great friend or a great enemy for yourself.There is no one who can do more
杯
damage to your self-belief than-you!Listen carefully to how you speak to yourself.40
的
Let go of what you may be blaming yourself for,either in your professional life or personal.
A.So how do you build self-belief and overcome self-doubt?
B.Are you looking down on yourself or building yourself up?
C.Within 30 minutes,I was"sold",and the words flowed!
D.They will be feeding your self-belief or making you short of it.
E.See that no one creates success without learning along the way.
F.Your mind will start searching for evidence to prove your point.
G.We need to connect with others and feel a sense of belonging and community.

logic and getting 50.
Eaves never 51 any popular idea just because it was popular.He claimed that a

that scientific research is important,exciting,and worthwhile.I gave Mr.Eaves 54

Sam entered a restaurant to eat.Then,something outside caught his attention.An old
man was sitting in a wheelchair,watching all the vehicles passing by.For some reason,this
scene pulled at Sam's heartstrings ()and he went out to the stranger.
“Helo,sir,"he began,“Are you hungry?"
The man looked up and said,"Yes,I am.But I'm waiting for my wife.She will be here
soon.""Oh,that's great,sir,"Oliver answered and then he purchased something for the man
at the restaurant.During his meal,he kept thinking about the man outside.He felt something
was wrong.Was his wife really coming to pick him up?Sam had no idea,so he asked around.
One waitress answered his questions."His name is Mr.Perkins and he has been waiting
for his wife at that corner for a week.Back then,I saw a woman helping him get out of her car
onto the wheelchair.I thought they were coming to eat here.But she never came back.
According to Mr.Perkins,his wife had something to do and was coming back soon,"she said.
These words shocked Sam completely."How could anyone do like that?And why has no
one helped that man?"he asked.
"We tried to help him.All the restaurants on this block bought him food,and we even
called nursing homes.But if we did that,he would be angry.It was bad for his health.So now
the caretaker at the public nursing home brings him here in the moming and takes him back at
night,"the waitress said.
Sam thought he must do something.He took a picture of him with his phone,just in case.

M:
Im
afraid

Oh,

I
do?

W:
David,
are
you
doing
anything
tomorrow
morning?
M:
No.
Nothing
special.
Maybe
Ill
just
do
some
laundry
or
buy
some
necessities
at
the
supermarket.
W:
In
that
case,
can
you
do
it
later?
Ive
found
a
new
apartment
and
Ill
move
tomorrow.
But
the
thing
is
that
theres
some
heavy
furniture
and
I
cant
move
it
alone.
Could
you
come
to
my

place
and
give
me
a
hand?
M:
Of
course.
Just

your
address
and

when
I
should
come,
Lily.

very
much.

M:
Bess,
Im
going
downtown
this
morning.
Do
you
want
to
go
with
me?
W:
Yes.
I
need
to
buy
some
cookbooks
for
my
mom.
So
why
are
you
going
downtown,
Enzo?
M:
Lisas
birthday
is
coming.
I
want
to
buy
her
a
gift.
W:
Do
you
have
any
ideas
about
what
to
buy?
M:
Um. . .
I
havent
decided
yet.
Maybe
a
toy
or
a
pen.
I
dont
know
what
little
girls
really
love.
W:
Since
your
niece
is
just
a
kindergartner,
Im
sure
shell
love
it
if
you
give
her
a
pink
dress.
M:
Its
perfect.
I
do
often
see
her
in
pink.
But
I
dont
know
how
to
choose
a
suitable
one.
W:
Dont
worry,
Enzo.
Ill
help
you
out.

M:
Do
you
often
go
out
in
your
spare
time,
Michelle?
W:
Not
so
often.
I
prefer
reading
magazines
and
watching
tennis
games
on
TV
at
home.
But
when
I
go
out,
I
often
go
to
a
dance
club.
What
about
you,
William?
M:
As
an
athlete,
I
love
being
outdoors
and
getting
close
to
nature.
So
I
often
travel
to
new
places.
W:
How
did
you
fall
in
love
with
traveling?
M:
When
I
was
a
kid,
my
family
traveled
a
lot
and
that
was
why
I
started
to
love
traveling.
W:
You
must
have
been
to
many
places.
Where
have
you
traveled?
M:
Well,
Ive
traveled
to
all
of
the
fifty
US
states
except
Alaska,
which
will
be
my
destination
this
summer.
W:
How
I
envy
you!
Ive
only
been
to
Texas
and
California.
My
work
usually
keeps
me
very
busy.
M:
But
your
work
is
really
admirable. Youve
saved
lots
of
lives.

M:
Jennifer,
what
about
going
to
Toms
party
with
me
this
evening?
W:
That
would
be
wonderful!
Im
really
getting
tired
of
watching
TV
at
home
every
night.
Its
really
boring.
M:
Good.
You
really
should
spend
more
time
meeting
new
people.

But

you
sure
we
can
go
tonight?
Its
raining
cats
and
dogs
now.
M:

I

the

report.

M:
Tom
said
itd

three
hours.

home
at
around

Its
not
too
late.

M:Hi,
Mark.
This
is
Henry
calling.
Since
you
cannot
answer
the
phone
now,
Ill
just
leave
you
a
message.
Last
week,
you
told
me
you
were
looking
for
an
opportunity
to
volunteer
abroad.
I
now
know
a
program
that
you
may
be
interested
in.
Its
for
people
who
are
18.
They
are
looking
for
volunteers
to
teach
music
in
Ghana.
Since
youre
good
at
music,
I
think
this
program
will
be
suitable
for
you.
Through
this
program,
you
can
work
with
children
who
would
normally
not
be
provided
with
a
music
education.
As
a
music
volunteer,
youll
support
musicians
at
school,
help
to
plan
and
run
music
classes
and
work
with
full-time
teachers
there.
Children
lack
musical
instruments.
So
if
you
have
instruments
you
no
longer
use,
you
can
bring
them
with
you
and
donate
them
to
children.
Last,
you
should
volunteer
there
for
at
least
one
week.
After
the
first
week,
you
can
choose
to
stay
there
for
three
more
weeks
if
you
like
the
experience.
