A Midsummer Night's Dream may be ne f Shakespeare's mst perfrmed play—but its latest versin frm the Ryal Shakespeare Cmpany will be unlike any seen befre. Titled Dream，the 50-minute nline prductin cmbines live perfrmance with mtin-capture （动作捕捉） technlgy，3 D graphics，and interactive gaming techniques that let audiences remtely guide the leading character Puck thrugh a virtual frest.
As live theater put sme seriusly high-tech fairy （小精灵） factrs int practice，Dream prmises t bring the rarest versin f the play t ur screens. In 2016，the theater's prductin f The Tempest used live mtin-capture technlgy t create a 3 D digital image that was prjected abve the stage.

They will be surrunded by a 360-degree camera set，made up f 47 cameras with every mvement almst immediately presented digitally，which is presented t viewers nline. With its much-reduced characters，Dream is nt a cmplete prductin f A Midsummer Night's Dream；rather，it is a stry inspired by it，fcusing n Puck and the fairies.
Up t 2，000 audience members fr each perfrmance can becme part f the shw and will be invited t guide Puck thrugh the frest. Onscreen，the chsen audience will appear as a clud f tiny fireflies （萤火虫）. By using their muse r finger n the screen f a smart device，they will be able t mve their firefly acrss the screen，and Puck will be at their beck and call t g thrugh the virtual space. Fr viewers watching at hme，the virtual fairies mving thrugh a digital frest will lk mre like a vide game than the average Ryal Shakespeare Cmpany shw. But the perfrmances are delivered live and in real time. Every night's perfrmance will be unique.
"Withut the fireflies—the audiences—Puck wuldn't be ging anywhere，" said E. M. Williams wh plays the rle. "The audiences are very much the fuel and the energy f the shw. "

It had always been assumed that the rarity f lightning in cean strms was due t cleaner air ver the vast seas，but keen bservatins have shwn that even highly plluted air is assciated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aersls（气溶胶） are abundant. In their paper published in the jurnal Nature Cmmunicatins，an internatinal team f researchers describes their multi-year study f atmspheric cnditins ver the ceans brdering Africa and what it shwed abut salt in sea spray aersls and its impact n lightning.
The researchers btained atmspheric data n Africa and the ceans arund it fr the perid 2013 t 2017. The data included numbers f lightning flashes，rainfall，temperatures and clud representatins. They lked fr differences in atmspheric cnditins in strms that ccurred ver land versus thse that ccurred ver the sea and fund ne main difference：the amunt f salt in the air.
Lightning is prduced when upwardly mving air in cluds frms ice crystals（冰晶）—aersl particles then begin t bump int ne anther，creating an electrical charge. Lightning happens when the electrical field in ne part f the clud becmes psitively charged （ usually at the tp f the clud） and anther negatively charged （usually at the bttm f the clud）. And cluds frm，f curse，when vapr evaprates（蒸发） frm the surface f the Earth and the water drps bnd with aersls.
The researchers fund that things are slightly different ver the cean. When water evaprates frm the sea，it bears a lad f salt. When the salt water bnds with aersls t frm water drplets，they tend t be bigger and heavier than thse that frm ver land due t the salt—and that results in mre f the water in the cluds falling as rain befre it can rise up and frm ice crystals. The result is far fewer lightning discharges.
The researchers suggest their findings culd be useful in imprving the accuracy f bth climate mdels and meterlgical reprts. It culd als pssibly lead sme t attempt t seed strm cluds with salt t reduce their severity.
5. What is the cmmn belief f lightning ver ceans?
A . Lightning pllutes the remte sea. B . Plluted air leads t less lightning at sea. C . Cleaner air results in less lightning at sea. D . Cleaner air cntributes t mre lightning at sea.
6. Hw des the authr mainly develp paragraph 3?
A . By presenting facts. B . By listing similarities. C . By giving examples. D . By making cmparisns.
7. Hw d water drplets n land differ frm thse at sea?
A . They drp much faster. B . They cntain mre water. C . They are bigger and heavier. D . They are smaller and lighter.
8. What can be the best title fr the text?
A . Salt in Sea Spray Wrsens Strms ver the Sea. B . Salt in Sea Spray Keeps Lightning Strikes Away. C . Lightning Strikes Are Mre Cmmn ver Oceans. D . Sea Spray Is Fund Evaprating Faster ver Oceans.

Arund seven ut f every ten Americans wh wrk in ffices d their wrk in an pen envirnment，defined as at desks withut meaningful partitins （隔板），accrding t an Internatinal Facility Management Assciatin survey. That is，if they even have a desk——wrkers may be assigned nly a few feet f a cmmunal（共用的） table. The pen-plan ffice space trend，ppularized by creative agencies and technlgy start-ups，went mainstream because f the belief that pen-space envirnments supprt innvatin. Mre nearness between emplyees，the thinking went，wuld create mre interactin and teamwrk，prmte scial interactin and urge prductivity.
But in fact，purely pen-plan ffices have been shwn t have the ppsite effects，creating s much distractin（分心） that emplyees stayed away frm each ther. A study funded by Harvard Business Sehal，the results f which were published last year，tracked what happened when a British cmpany mved its emplyees frm traditinal ffice space，with ffices with walls，t an pen ffice. Face-t-face interactin became less——emplyees spent 72 percent less time interacting with their clleagues. Instead f talking mre with each ther，the emplyees put n headphnes and began cmmunicating by text and email. As digital cmmunicatin channels surged ， prductivity declined.
Neurscience als hlds sme clues as t why the tight quarters in cmmunal wrk spaces——where wrkers are nly given abut half the space they were given a decade ag——are s hard t wrk in. "The human vice sets ff the mst pwerful emtinal respnse in ur auditry（听觉的）experience. Vice abve 55 decibels（分贝）—— rughly the sund f a lud phne call——causes measurable stress，" accrding t a Wall Street Jurnal article， "The Neurscience-Optimized Office". "Even mre trublesme are verheard 'halfversatins'，in which the listener nly knws abut ne side f a dialgue；ur brains autmatically imagine the ther，" wrte authrs Jhn Medina and Ryan Mullenix.
But the slutin，say experts including Newprt，isn't t g back t putting everyne int ffices with walls.
9. What can we learn abut the pen ffice trend accrding t paragraph 1?
A . It allws 10 peple at mst t wrk tgether. B . It is believed t stimulate wrkers' creativity. C . It is nly ppular with new technlgy cmpanies. D . It is aimed at prmting wrkers' scial interactin.
10. What des the underlined wrd" surged"in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A . Suspended timely. B . Became useless. C . Cst less. D . Increased quickly.
11. What makes an pen ffice hard t wrk in?
A . Hearing endless nisy phne calls. B . Shwing real emtins publicly. C . Facing cmmunicatin barriers at wrk. D . Hearing part f a dialgue between clleagues.
12. What will prbably be discussed in the fllwing paragraph?
A . What are benefits f the pen ffices with walls. B . Why the pen ffice makes wrkers distracted. C . Hw t deal with the disadvantages f the pen ffice. D . Hw t draw wrkers' attentin t their clleagues nearby.
