W:A little bit.But I need to study the play to create the characters'clothes,not just use my imagination. M:How do you do that? W:I read the play and do research about the time and place of the story.If the story is set in the past,I might study old magazines or paintings.For plays set in now,I sometimes collect pictures of people on the street. M:Then what do you do? W:I take my ideas and pictures to the director of the show.We talk about whether I'm on the right track.If it's good,we will hire a tailor to make the costume. M:Is it finished then? W:Almost.We still need to try on the actor to make sure everything fits and looks good. M:Wow,it takes so many steps to make a costume. W:Yes,it does.I work with lots of different people to put it all together. Text 9 W:Hi Kevin.I've just got back from the Art Gallery.There's a wonderful show of abstract art.You should have come with me. M:I don't know.Abstract art seems like children's painting to me. W:Well,if you don't understand what the artist is trying to communicate,it can seem a little like that. M:What did you see then? W:There were two paintings that impressed me most.The first is a huge one which I supposed the tree although it could have been anything. M:What did you like about it? W:Just the way the tree looked.It was like the tree was made of hard metal,and the mix of white and gray made everything look like it was winter,freezing winter. M:That's something.What about the other one? W:The second looked like a piece of grassland.All the grass was purple and red,and there was green sky in the background.I looked at it and thought of summer. M:Hmm,your description really teaches me something about appreciating abstract art.Maybe I should go and give this show a try this Saturday. W:You really should. Text 10 M:You are watching the morning news.This is Steven Johnson.Sydney and the New South Wales coast have been hit by heavy rains.Major roads,the airport,trains and buses were all thrown behind the schedule as more than a month's worth of rain fell in just one hour during the morning rush.All traffic into city remains very heavy.Pittwater Road is closed due to a car crash.Consider using Wicks Road instead.A police officer has been hurt assisting drivers in North Ryde.A woman is believed to have broken her leg after a tree fell on her car.The roof of Town Hall Station has fallen in,causing delays for passengers.The rain is expected to be at its heaviest from 9:00 am until 11:00 am.Today a total of up to 200 millimeters rain is being forecast,along with damaging winds of more than 90 kilometers per hour to fall.All road users are advised to reconsider the need to be on roads in such wild weather,and reschedule their day and continue on their journey after the rain stops. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
