The play now on at the New Theater as part of the Eastern Arts Festival is not among the best plays for which the director, Army Fielding, has been responsible.The action takes place in the home of Professor Spear. One night his landlady comes to the house for a chat. After inviting her in, the professor hears a sound and thinking it is a burglar coming to rob the house, fires his gun. By mistake the wrong person is shot and the thief gets away. The scene of the second act is a law court, in which everyone waits to find out if the professor is guilty of murder.
I did not care for the acting in some cases. Norman Jones is normally seen in some comedies and it is not satisfactory as the professor. He doesn’t look like a wise old man. Also Simon Fry, as the servant, shouted at the top of his voice through the play. The hit of the evening, however, was James Smith as the judge. On the whole, the play appeared to be a little out of date. I can think of many other plays which would have been more suitable for a group of clever young actors to perform. The play continues until the end of the month.
1. The passage is from ________.
A. a review of the play. B. an instruction to a book.

2. What is the writer trying to do ?
A. To give advice to the writer of the play. B. To warn people not to go and see the play.
C. To give his own opinion of the play. D. To persuade the director to change the play.
3. The writer’s opinion about the play is that ______.
A. there were not enough actors for the parts.
B. the actors would have performed better in a modern play.

C. he had the wrong kind of moustache. D. he was not clever enough to play the part
5. Who, among the four following persons, will probably enjoy the play ?
A. “I don’t care much for serious subjects. I like comedies, especially about the young. Norman Jones is great, so young and lively. I like the way he jumps about the stage. He can never stand still.”
B. “I only like going to the theatre when there is something on with a lot of songs. Simon Fry is a good singer. I saw him in a show last year. I hope he’ll be singing again when I next go to the theater.”
C. “I really prefer plays with a good story . I like to wonder about what to happen in the end. I’m a great fan of James Smith.”
D. “I prefer modern plays . This director did one that I liked last year. There were a group of actors on a bare stage without any scenery . It showed what is wrong with modern society.”

What do you often do after school? In my school, there are a lot of clubs which students can take part in after school hours.
The club that has the biggest number of members is the swimming club called “Blue Dolphins”. I myself love swimming so I am a member of this club. I go to the swimming pool twice a day and swim for about an hour. I’m really interested in swimming breaststroke because it helps me move as fast as I can. I’m also fond of backstroke. I swim backstroke when I want to relax, breathe and let my body float freely. It’s very relaxing.
The second club I would like to mention is the charity club. Its name is “Golden Heart”. Members of the club often do community service. This month, they are conducting a clean-up campaign to protect the environment around the school. They collect trash, clean the toilet area, and grow plants. I am not a Golden Heart’s member, but I participate in their activities whenever I can.
If you can sing, dance or play musical instruments, the musical club “Heartstrings” is definitely for you. The president of the club is Mike, my best friend. He is not only good-looking but also sings beautifully and plays the guitar very well.
In conclusion, we should do as many activities as possible in our free time to have good health and a fresh mind to prepare for lessons in class. Spending all our time studying is not a good idea.
