• 2．On Wednesday，January 13th，I performed on stage for the first time.As someone who takes part in so many activities，it's extremely difficult to find the time to be a part of any production.For me，it was a once in-a-lifetime opportunity to try acting through the Senior Play Project.
      Auditions（试镜）came first，They weren't particularly difficult more to see who may be a better fit for certain roles.We were told our roles in the various plays，and started to work immediately.
      I was unsure of how I was as an actor，and I had to learn a lot fast：actions，my place in the story，my reactions，and countless other small details...As I began to improve as an actor，I was able to understand my characters better.
      My first character is a man named Roger who is a senior advisor to a presidential candidate in a play called"The Spot."He's a shorttempered guy who says what he wants and takes what he wants to assist his candidate in today's tough political races.He's on the set of The Spot，an advertisement for the candidate，to make sure everything runs smoothly and that any problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently.
      While I had really interesting characters，and the plays were funny and such a great experience to act in，I really love the Senior Play Project for the people.I worked with 12 other seniors who not only loved what they were doing，but offered help and advice throughout my entire learning process.
      Between the lights，sounds，costume and makeup，and plenty more，theatre is a team sport just like basketball or baseball.There are no small parts；there is no one who isn't needed.I've learned to appreciate live theatre，and the effort that every person in the show，both onstage and offstage，puts into it.
  
  （1）How did the author feel about being in the project？

  
  A.Lucky.
  B.Tired.
  C.Nervous.
  D.Confident.
  （2）What do we know about the character Roger？

  
  A.He means what he says.
  B.He puts up an advertisement.
  C.He gives advice to the candidate.
  D.He is running for president.
  （3）What does the author like most about the project？

  
  A.The people.
  B.The plays.
  C.The characters.
  D.The costume.
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A.The Senior Play Project
  B.Acting for the First Time
  C.What Makes a Good Actor
  D.A Lesson Learnt through Acting

• 3．In America，the number of people killed in car crashes in 2016 was above 40，000 for the first time in a decade，data released on Wednesday shows.
  "Americans believe there is nothing we can do to stop crashes from happening，but that isn't true.We are behind the rest of the developed world in addressing highway fatalities（死亡）.We just haven't been willing to do what needs to be done，"said Deborah A.P.Hersman，president of the National Safety Council.
  The National Safety Council data shows a 6 percent increase in deaths in 2018 when compared with 2015 and a 3 percent increase in the number of miles Americana drove in 2016.
  "Motor vehicle fatality numbers have been ringing the alarm for two years，"Hersman said."Unfortunately，we have been blind to the data and the killings on our roadways.If we fail to take action，the death toll will continue to rise."
  "The trend is clear：After years of progress，highway deaths are heading in the wrong direction，"said Jonathan Adkins，a state safety official.
      The number of people killed reached a record low of 32，675 in2014，according to NHTSA statistics.That record followed a fairly steady downward track for the past six years that experts attributed it primarily to safety features that have been built into cars and trucks
      Safety advances including increased seat-belt use，air bags，antilock braking，stability controls and electronic warnings and cameras.
      The bad economy and high gas prices also influenced the reduction in deaths.Now，with unemployment and gas prices both low，more people are driving for work and pleasure trips.
  "It's not just that Americans drive more miles when the economy improves；it's the kind of miles they drive，"said Adrian Lund，president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
  
  （1）What's Hersman's attitude towards the present situation？

  
  A.It has been getting better.
  B.It can hardly be improved.
  C.The efforts are far from enough.
  D.Much work has already been done.
  （2）What do we learn about the number of highway deaths in2013 in America？

  
  A.It's lower than that in 2014.
  B.It's lower than that in 2010.
  C.It's the lowest in recent years.
  D.It's the highest in recently years.
  （3）What will happen with the economic recovery？

  
  A.The gas prices will go up.
  B.The gas price will go down.
  C.There will be more highway deaths.
  D.There will be fewer highway deaths.
  （4）What would be the best title for the passage？

  
  A.Traffic Deaths Are on the Rise.
  B.Highway Deaths Will Drop off.
  C.Measures to Handle Car Crashes.
  D.Safety Advances in Cars Are Made.
