Section Ⅲ　Using language Ⅰ.阅读理解 People who write dramas, also called plays, are known as playwrights or dramatists.Some popular types of dramas include comedy, tragedy, farce (滑稽戏), opera and docudramas.Now, I'd like to tell you something about them. Lighter in tone，comedies try to make the audience laugh and usually come to a happy ending.Comedies put unusual characters in special situations, causing them to do and say funny things.Comedies can also be sarcastic (讽刺的) in nature, creating fun at serious topics.There are also several different types of comedies, including the romantic comedy, the comedy of manners and so on. Tragedy is based on darker themes.Generally, tragedies show serious subjects like death, disaster, and human suffering in a way that makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings, characters in tragedies, like Shakespeare's Hamlet, are often troubled by their character flaws (缺点) that finally lead to their deaths. A farce is a type of drama in which characters overact and present physical humor.Examples of farce include the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the hit Airplane！in 1980. Opera is a type of drama which combines theater, literature, music, and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue, performers must be both skilled actors and singers.La bohème by Giacomo Puccini and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of opera. A docudrama is another kind of drama.Docudramas talk about historic events or non-fictional situations, which are more often presented on television than in movie theaters.Popular examples of docudramas include the movies Apollo 13 and 12 Years a Slave. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了喜剧、悲剧、滑稽戏、歌剧和纪实片的特点。 1．What do we know about comedies?
