Everyone had their friends, but I knew one girl who didn’t. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was read, study, and do homework. I don’t think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and those who was often laughed at. I had heard all kinds of rumors (谣言) that she had problems, but I didn’t really believe them.

　 My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said “Hi” to her, but she wasn’t our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.

　 During the summer holidays I got a letter from her. It read, “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I didn’t think anyone wanted me around. I even wanted to kill myself because of this. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and going to another school next year. I’ll never forget you and what you did.”

　 By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.

2. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend?

A. Happy and comfortable.　 B. Pleased and confident.

　　The distinctive(特别的) architectural feature of the typical Broadway Theatre is that two almost independent buildings are built side by side in such a way that they face and open into each other. The audience sits in the auditorium(礼堂) structure and watch the actors perform in the stage house. This separation is more than an aesthetic(美的) impression, because the building codes(标准) require that a physical barrier(屏障) protect the audience from a fire starting on the stage. A fireproof wall, rather than mere partition(隔墙), separates the structures, and this separation is completed by a fireproof curtain that is furnished in such a way as to fall automatically in case of fire. Automatic fire doors similarly close all other openings between the two structures. The building codes keep such openings to a minimum(最小限度).

　　This separation came about in the nineteenth century as a result of theatre fires. It has produced fundamental architectural change from previous centuries without making much change in the appearance of the building.

　　So far as the audience is concerned(就观众而言), a theatre is primarily a place for entertainment. In the theatre the audience is enabled to undergo(经历) a vivid emotional(情感) experience similar to that undergone by the characters in the play. The audience approaches(走近) the theater with the expression of some sort of excitement. The architect and the decorator(装饰者) try to sustain(保持) and increase this excitement an expectation as the spectator(观众) moves through the theater. One of the familiar architectural devices for this effect is spaciousness(宽敞) of lobby(大厅) and auditorium. Color and ornamentation(装饰品) are other devices for the same purpose, as seen in almost all theatres built before that nineteenth century.

1．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

[　　]

A．The Difference Between the Auditorium and the Stage House of the Broadway Theater

B．How the Broadway Theater is Decorated

C．Characteristics of the Physical Structure of Broadway Theater and Their Practical Functions

D．High Incidence of Fires in Broadway Theater

2．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．Before the 19th century the auditorium and the stage house of the Broadway Theater were separated from each other with a fire-proof curtain.

B．Broadway theaters are now more beautifully decorated than they were before the 19th century.

C．More people go to Broadway theatres now than before the 19th century because they feel safer now.

D．None of the above.

3．Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as what increases the excitement the audience expect?

[　　]

A．Color.

B．Ornamentation.

C．The spaciousness of the lobby.

D．The plot of the play.
