【2】

Many studies show the health benefits of drinking alcohol. However, heavy drinking can have harmful effects on your body and brain, leading to certain diseases such as heart disease or diabetes in later life stages.【3】Once you quit drinking, your body starts repairing itself. As a result, you start feeling better and more content. Because the body isn’t affected by alcohol, you save more energy to focus on things. Above all, your brain and body can function at its total capacity once again.

You would say goodbye to hangovers (宿醉)

The worst part about getting drunk is the hangover.【4】Having headaches, feeling sick, and drained all morning long... It makes you think, “why did I drink so much last night?” But on the contrary to this whole experience, there’s one thing that stands out: waking up refreshed with a fantastic day ahead of us instead of having woken up sick from drinking too much alcohol.

Know that being free from alcohol can be highly liberating and powerful. If you are struggling to stop on your own, know that there is no shame in seeking treatment and help.

From arts and poem writing to music and crafts, there are lots of creative after-school activities available out there for kids of all ages.

Gain physical and psychological strength with sports

Avoiding childhood obesity has become a real issue in a world where kids spend more and more time indoors, glued to screens.

23、Interpreted Theatres

Deaf people should enjoy a play as much as the hearing audience.【1】Theatre producers, on the other hand, are beginning to realise that theatre interpretation makes their product attractive to a wider audience-with considerable financial rewards.

The most important technical aspect of theatre interpretation for the deaf is the location of the interpreter. Placement strategies can be categorized into three styles: “placed” “zoned” and finally, “shadowed”.

The “placed” style of interpretation, where interpreters are located outside the acting space and do not move, is by far the most common. The interpreters are side-by-side and face the audience. The location of the interpreter is generally in one of three places: stage right or stage left, or on the floor of the house.

The “zoned” style of interpreter placement is a happy medium between the “placed” and “shadowed” styles.【2】Usually, they change position on stage from scene to scene—or from act to act—in order to be within the same “zone” as the majority of the action. Zone placement makes it easier for the deaf audience to see the interpreters and actors at the same time.

【3】It involves placing the interpreters directly within the action—nearly making them “sign language actors”. The interpreters are “blocked” into each scene, and shadow the actors. The advantage of this is clear: the interpreter is so close to the actor that the deaf audience need not make a decision about whom to watch—he or she can watch both at the same time. In the best of cases, the deaf audience mentally mix the interpreter with the actor, and forget that the actor does not sign.

Theatre interpreters for the deaf are dedicated professionals who take great pride in their work. “Theatre”, says Ian, who works for See Theatre, a Chicago-based association for interpreters “is the art of communicating beautiful ideas in interesting ways”. 【4】Thankfully, instead of seeing us as ‘additions’, producers nowadays think of interpreters for the deaf as a new avenue to creativity.

A．Interpreted theatre has long been neglected without taking the issue of their access into consideration.

B．The “shadowed” style of interpreting is the most inclusive style of interpreting for the theatre.

C．This is the thinking behind the Americans with Disabilities Act, which requires that theatres become accessible to deaf people.

D．Interpreters move about in order not to block the audience's view.

E．Interpreted theatre, therefore, is an art in itself.

F．Here, interpreters are placed side-by-side within the acting space.

24、The other day on a cold night, I left my wife and drove from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 100 miles. It was rather late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.

At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.

I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.

Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract（契约）we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it： we don't go through red lights.

Trust is our first inclination. Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual（相互的）trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do； we show up when we say we'll show up； and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.

I am so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

【1】How does the author feel about the truck driver?

A．Pleased.

B．Satisfied.

C．Sorry.

D．Annoyed.

【2】What can we infer about the author?

A．He hates driving at night.

B．He desired to cross the red light that night.

C．He approves of obeying traffic rules by himself.

D．He is easy when suffering the traffic jam.

【3】What is the meaning of the underlined word "inclination" in paragraph 5?

A．Tendency.

B．Faith.

C．Adjustment.

D．Guidance.

【4】What should we do to create a better society according to the author?

A．Be polite to others.

B．Improve traffic rules.

C．Be patient and helpful.

D．Trust each other.

25、   Sometimes, I long to be lost in a “memory meal”, biting into one of the nostalgic foods I enjoyed as a child.
