A
I am an active playgoer and play-reader，and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have arched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpo of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家)hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are ud to create a single impression growing out of the them
e. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection，for that would，indeed，ruin the pleasure of reading，discussing，and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However，a variety of types is reprented here. The include comedy，satire，poignant drama，historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多⾯性)of the short play，I have included a guidance play，a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection，Paul Green，Susan Glaspell，Maxwell Anderson，Thornton
Wilder，William Saroyan，and Tenne Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading the plays，try to picture the play on stage，with you，the reader，in the audience. The houlights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open，and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
21. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? ( )
A. He has written dozens of plays.
B. He has a deep love for the theater.
C. He is a professional stage actor.
D. He likes reading short plays to others.
22. What does the author avoid doing in his work? ( )
A. Stating the plays' central ideas.
B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.
C. Including various types of plays.
D. Offering information on the playwrights.
23. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays? ( )
A. Control their feelings.
B. Apply their acting skills.
C. U their imagination.

The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue，Washington，generally don't flash the same length of green twice in a row，especially at rush hour. At9：30am，the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 conds. By 9：33am，a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 conds. Less traffic at 9：37am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itlf，the timing of the signals changes.
That is by design. Bellevue，a fast-growing city，just east of Seattle，us a system that is gaining popularity around the US：interction(⼗字路⼝)signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. The lights，known as adaptive signals，have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.
“Adaptive signals can make sure that the traffic demand that is there is being addresd，” says Alex Stevanovic，a rearcher at Florida Atlantic University.
For all of Bellevue's success，adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways. Kevin Balke，a rearch engineer at the Texas A&M University Transportation Institute，says that while smart lights can be particularly beneficial for some cities，others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference.“It's not going to fix everything, but adaptive signals have some benefits for smaller cities,” he says.
In Bellevue, the switch to adaptive signals has been a lesson in the value of welcoming new approaches. In the past, there was often an automatic reaction to incread traffic: just widen the roads, says Mark Poch, the Bellevue Transportation Department's traffic engineering manager. Now he hopes that other cities will consider making their streets run smarter instead of just making them bigger.
25. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? ( )
A. Incread length of green lights.
安神补脑液的功效B. Shortened traffic signal cycle.
C. Flexible timing of traffic signals.
D. Smooth traffic flow on the road.
26. What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals? ( )
A. ' They work better on broad roads.
B. They should be ud in other cities.
C. They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.
D. They are less helpful in cities riously jammed.
27. What can we learn from Bellevue's success? ( )
A. It is rewarding to try new things.
B. The old methods still work today.
C. I pays to put theory into practice.
新年活动策划方案D. The simplest way is the best way.
C
Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking，planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp as you age，a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests.
酬乐天扬州初逢席上见赠翻译Rearchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1，000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assd the volunteers' memory and thinking skills through a battery of tests. Then，for eight years，the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests.
Tho who had held mentally stimulating(刺激)，demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the
best on the tests. And they tended to lo cognitive(认知)function at a much slower rate than tho with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants' overall health status.
“This works just like physical exerci，” says Francisca Then，who led the study. “After a long run，you may feel like you're in pain，you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work-sure，you will feel tired，but it can help your brain stay healthy. ”
It's not just corporate jobs，or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit，Then points out. A waiter's job，for example，that requires multitasking，teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And “running a family houhold requires high-level planning and coordinating(协调)，” she says. “You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.
Of cour，our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still，continuing to challenge yourlf mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help.
28. Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests? ( )
A. To asss their health status.
B. To evaluate their work habits.
C. To analyze their personality.
D. To measure their mental ability.
29. How does Francisca Then explain her findings in paragraph 4? ( )
A. By using an expert's words.
B. By making a comparison.
C. By referring to another study.
D. By introducing a concept.
30. Which of the following is the best title for the text? ( )
行草字帖A. Retired Workers Can Pick Up New Skills
B. Old People Should Take Challenging Jobs
C. Your Tough Job Might Help Keep You Sharp
D. Cognitive Function May Decline As You Age
