comedy, be yourself
[2021-2o22广东省油尾市高一下期末]I had graduated from college with an engineering degree and
was working at Xerox, but I'd always dreamed of a career in comedy. For this reason I had taken Claire's
comedy class. According to her website. Claire was a"world-known" teacher of"comedy arts".“So You
Want to Do Stand-Up(单口相声)?"She was telling me, in front of the entire class, that my comedy
wasn't any good.
“The problem with you." she said, "is that you don't act like a comedian."
I wasn't exactly sure what Claire meant, but I understood that there were a lot of different wavs to be
funny and I wanted my comedy to be a reflection of mvself : warm and easv-going. Most of all, I wanted to
make jokes about the world I saw around me, like the crazy things that happened at work every day.
I learned an important lesson that night. Claire-the supposed comedy "expert"-didn't know a
thing about me or what I could do onstage. All Claire knew was what I looked like. For her, that was

No matter who you are or where you go in this life, people are going to try to put you in a box. Once
they put you there, they're going to try to convince you that it's the best place for you. But if they are
wrong about you, you've got to stand up and let them know. In comedy and in life, you can't expect
people to give you permission to be yourself. You have to march onstage, claim your space, tell your

History of Broadway
[2020-2021北京市101中学高一下期末]
History of Broadway
When people think of Broadway, they may think of that part of the world-famous road in New York
City that runs between 42nd and 53rd Streets. 1 It is a billion-dollar industry that includes theatrical
shows in New York and live theater entertainment throughout the world
New York's Theatre District has only 39 official Broadway houses. A play house must have 50o or
more seats to be considered a Broadway theater. 2 Not all Broadway theaters are located on
Broadwav. In the late 17OOs and early 18oOs, buildings on Wall Street and places such as City Hall may
have served as smaller theaters, and other locations in downtown New York City also did.
Development of larger theaters is away from the downtown area. Some people may have doubted these
theaters would be successful, but they turned out to be. 3 With the rise of the new theater district,
downtown changed forever as people happily traveled to the outskirts (市郊) of the city to see the best in

live entertainment
When these theaters began, many actors came from European countries. In 1857 actor Edwin Booth
helped transform the Broadway theatre by popularizing a tvpe of acting realism. Unlike actors before him.
Booth did not stand still on the stage and simply deliver his lines. 4 Booth's style had a notable effect
on the theater, and many considered him to be the greatest actor of his time
5 Specifically, comedies and dramas often centred on then-current events such as women's right
to vote, the Labor Movement, and war. Broadway developed again in 1866, and the Broadway musical
was created. From then on, actors entertained their audiences by singing and dancing accompanied by an
orchestra.
Now, Broadway is famous for various theatre productions and moving performances.
A. In fact, the shows have brought it fame throughout the world.
B. However, Broadway is much more than a geographical location
C. Theaters, holding 1O0 to 499 people, are called Off-Broadway theaters.
D. Instead, he liked moving around and showing great emotion while acting
E. Plavs followed a popular stvle that encouraged tvpical characters and plots.
F. As this new stvle grew in popularity, the content of the shows began to change
G. Madison Square Theater, built by the Mallory family in 188o, was one of them.

the future, and that I wouldn't forget to be present and 11my life!
